The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-30

, since the war began revealed pos abilities which very few except the most ambitious American firms have ever realized before, and for that reason it is determined that larger and larger must be the scope of the American business enterprises if the same collosal profits are to be maintained. Trade with China and the Far East, trade with South and Central America, trade with Africa and Europe and Asia, these fields are to be sought for conquest by American business.
 As the top capitalist sees it. there fore, quite naturally he would first of all develop in American industry condition of positive efficiency which would be able to perfect pro- uction and distribution. That such efficiency is to be obtained and at tained at the expense of the work CTS is wholly immaterial. The un- restricted exploitation of labor is the most successful of all systems of exploitation and hence it would be fatal if archaic conceptions of hu- man and individual liberty, ancient conventions as to civil or personal rights or any such inefficient politi- cal or industrial encumbrances were allowed to put the brakes upon the onward sweep of all con- quering American business.
 The workers, functioning in this scheme as labor producing profits for American business men, have to be considered solely in that light. Their activities must be cur tailed to within definite limits of efficient production and their liber- ties circumscribed by the demands of commercial imperialism.
 It is their duty and their func- ton and their hereditary portion t' defend as soldiers the property of l American owners. to be taught suit 1
 able ideals of right and wrong which are the moral reflex of the economic rights and wrongs of top capitalism. Historical stimuli of ! properly written records should be i made to inspire faith in the ulti- ,na.e ideals Of big busine'I and the l ol,4 ho H .Mctp6 S,N that they would effectively inculcate the ! civic ideals that Big Business re- uuires should be the inspiration of their working people. The machin- cry of government should be the properly adjusted to the require ments of big business and such laws as would extend, propagate and encourage trade with foreign lands and make the productive capacity of American mills oversway that of any other nation should be properly passed and approved. Disturbing questions in dispute as to property and the relations of the exploited person to the exploiter should be brought promptly and clearly within the purview of conservative jurists who would disabuse the exploited persons of any refractory notions | inherited from false and archaic theories of personal liberty or per sonal rights.
 Back of all this should be a powerful military machinery estab- lished for the purpose of preserving order, suppressing discontent and keeping the workers in their places so that they may realize that the earth and the fullness thereof was destined by the Almighty for those whom he has placed in high posi- tions and in control of immense pro- fit making agencies.
 In this way the economic strength of capitalism may be devoted en- tirely to the function of making money so that the wealth of the ca pitalists may know no bounds and their power be uncircumscribed ac- cordingly.
 That is the great ideal just now unfolding it's wonderful and opulent
 beauties to full blossoming before the admiring gaze of the public The ideal is of course to make Am erica rich. and richest in the world and to understand by America, not the masses of the people. but the | few who control the country. u5 It is the menace that a railroad
