Italy Will Need Amer
lean Capital When
the War Ends
By Senator WILLIAM MARCONL
Wireless Inventor

THE purpose Of the Italian mis-
i sion TO America, of which |
happen to be member, is pri-
marily to pay the respects of our
country to President Wilson and to
assure you all, through him, what q
tremendous confirmation of all our
faith of the last two years it is to
have this nation of A HUNDRED
MILLION PEOPLE COME TO
MAKE COMMON CAUSE WITH
US.
We need your coal and wheat and
shipping now, but beyond that we
hope to demonstrate to you that
Italy will need your enterprise and
capital after the war to do what the
Germans have done heretofore in
developing our industries.
We want America to come to TIA
ly to help us solve our industrial
problems.
! believe that this emigration to
America will be resumed as soon as
the war is over, for even then Italy
will have a surplus population. But
in return for that we need your
money and your organizing and in
ventive ability.

Financial Imperialism
Much to Blame For the
War In Europe
By FREDERIC c. HOWE, Commits
sioner Of immigration
THE present European war was

LIZ Pi0oShs 'NP~A wa w"
i in large part the result of the
continued conflict and diplo-
matte intrigue of high finance in Eu-
rope, which came into conflict all
over the world, especially in Mo-
rocco, Persia and Turkey.
The best examples of financial i'm
perialism are England in Egypt and
South Africa, France in Tunis and
Morocco, Germany in Turkey and
Asia Minor, Russia and England in
Persia and the United States and
other countries in Mexico.
All of the exploited countries
have been penetrated first by repre-
sentatives of high finance working
in harmony with their respective
governments and followed in time,
except in the case of Mexico, with
troops to validate the claims of high
finance.
During the last generation 1OO,-
100000 people have been made sub
ject to the great powers of Europe
as a result of financial Imperialism
and more than 100000 square
miles of territory have been added
to England. France and Germany.

The voters of New Ulm will be called
upon at the annual election next month,
to decide whether or not this city wants
a City Hall, or if it will be content to

The " engagement OF Cities .

Various methods for the management
of cities have been in vogue ever since
there were cities, and that is some smell
back. For the past century or SO 4
mayor and board Of aldermen have had
charge of practically all Of the large
towns and most Of the smaller ones, the
business being transacted under their
direction.> A few years ago this method
was superseded in many cities by the
Commission Form of Government. It
was first established by Galveston,
Texas, when that city was practically
wiped out of existence by disastrous
flood. The plan was worked out nv
several citizens of Galveston, because of
the fact that the financial situation of
the city was in deplorable condition.
The new form of government worked
even more satisfactorily than had been
anticipated. Other wide awake cities
followed the example of Galveston, and
the commission form became quite
common. sr-
Since the experience of Galveston, and
the hundreds of other cities, new form
of municipal government has grown,
brief mention of which has before been
made in the columns of the Review-the
City Managership plan. -. -
Live towns are now hiring "city manag-

Action Tukem None Too Soon

The move set on foot by the City
Council at it's regular meeting last
Tuesday night, to make provision for
providing greater water supply for this
city, was taken none too soon, and it is to
be hoped the matter will not be allowed
to drag. With the most prompt action
that can be taken now it will be we'll
into the summer before the defect can be
remedied. 1t is a serious situation for
the city to be short of water, especially
in hot weather, both froma sanitary and
health point of view, regardless of the
discomfort that may be afforded the
citizens resulting from shortage of
water.
New Ulm's water supply has been de-
clared pure, by the State Board of
Health, and now it would be nothing
short of criminal negligence on the part
of the City Council to delay action until
there would be repetition of the con-
ditions that existed last summer. With
out additional facilities for procuring
more water the situation would naturally
be worse this year than last, from the
fact that the demand will surely be
much larger.
Let there be no further delay than is
absolutely necessary.

for small salaries and devoting their
time doing much more than they could
reasonably be expected to do, under the
circumstances. A city manager would

1t would be good idea for the citizens
of New Ulm to give this subject CON

city is progressive one and should not
be behind the times in the management
of it's municipal affairs.

Some WISE Critics

The LIE Sueur News and few other
papers in the Minnesota valley, along
with one or two attorneys who possibly
see fee for themselves, have aroused or
are trying to arouse opposition to the
bill now before the legislature which has
for its purpose the control of the floods
which annually sweep away most OF the
crops from the farms in the valley.
There seems to be fear among these
newspapers and farmers OF the valley
regarding the bill. 1t has been erroneous
ly stated that the measure, if passed
would turn the water from the Red
River, into the Minnesota, and instead Of
preventing floods would make matters
worse. The statement has also been
made that the Tri-State Flood Control
Association was organized at Fargo in the
interests Of the people of the Red River
valley.
1t is evident that those who make these
statements are laboring under grave
mistake. The meeting was called at
the instigation of A. B. Kaercher, of
OrtonvilIe, who owns more than two
sections of fertile farming land in the
Minnesota valley, and who has worked
faithfully for more than twelve years in
an effort to secure some means to save
the farmers of the Minnesota valley
from disastrous loss every year. The bill
was drawn by Cliff, also of Ortonville,
who owns 1900 acres of land near that
of Mr.. Kaercher. Another leader in
the movement, and who is a member Of
the legislative committee of the Tri-
State, Association, is Mayor l.. A..
Fritsche of this city. DR.. Fritsche's
brothers own several hundred acres of
land on the Minnesota bottoms. 1t is
partly from selfish motives that these
men are working-that is to save their
own properties as we'll as that of their
neighbors, and is it not reasonable to
suppose they would deliberately plan a
measure to work more harm to them
selves than at present. .,
