Veteran, in Disgust,

Lucien Sanial Chides Party
Leaders for Policy in
World Crisis

Lucien Sanial, veteran of the Paris
commune and the nestor Of American
Socialists, disguised with the anti
American policy of those now in con-
troll of the organization, has resigned
his membership in the party.
Mr.. Sanial, now Sc years old, makes
his home in the Bronx and il is to the
Bronx section of the party that he has
addressed his letter. For years he has
been prominent figure in all Socialist
gatherings and to greater extent
perhaps than any other commanded the
affection Of the rank ana ME in the
party.

United States
Long enough l have vainly hoped
that common sense in the service of
right thinking and acting would at last
prevail over political ambition in the
councils Of trusted leaders
"As a member of the international,
the Socialist party was pledged to con-
tribute its full share of solidarity in
the worldwide movement for human
rights and economic justice. What,
then, was its plain duty when 1t be-
came known that Schneiderman and
his Reichstag group Of traitors had
surrendered to the Kaiser the Social
Democracy of Germany, and that now,
led by their own oppressors, the armed
proletariars Of the country which had

have made il impossible for our capltal-

"Not so. however, did the self-con-
stituted mouthpieces Of the party think
and act In full control of the means
through which an active propaganda
could be carried out within and without
the party, they took course that
Schneidermann himself might have
planned for them.
"There is no room here for an ade'
ouate criticism of the position taken
by the Socialist party Nor would
confne myself to that particular sub
iect. In their state Of confusion, the
Socialists can no more stop the wal
than they could thunderstorm or an
earthquake. The actual question ioI
them is not the war. but the after-war.'

British Food Control.

The British government has a system
of food control that lies midway be
tween the German system of strict ra-
tioning of the consumer and the Amer
can system Of voluntary % operation be
tween the public and the producers and
handlers OF food supplies. Thus far,
Great Britain has done little in the way
of compulsory ationlug-though sugar
is to be rationed with the beginning of
l9lS-but in regulating manufacturers
and merchants and in establishing maxi
mum prices its supervision is more far
reaching and more rigid than prevails in
this country. That situation has been
inevitable from the first, since Great
Britain imports so large a part of its
food.
Lord Rhondda is the Hoover of Great
Britain, and he has experts, committees
of business men and all the machinery of
the civil service at his command. First
they have what they cali the costings
department with its accountants in ev-
cry district, who ascertain, as closely as
it can be done, the profits of every food
manufacturer and retailer. Their fig
ures are the basis of the maximum
prices, so far as they have been estab-
lished, which aim to allow "a reasonable
profit" So thorough is the work OF this
department and so heavy the punish
ments imposed on offenders that it is
claimed that protiteering and excess
profits are pretty well done away with.
Lord Rhondda has divided Great Brit
ain into 10 food divisions, and he has APP
pointed a commissioner over each In
each district there are borough, urban or
rural district councils that appoint local
food committees to carry out the regu-
lations as to prices and distribution Ev-

sued to each consumer or household, and
each such consumer or household must

the allowance of sugar there. That ar
rangement of half pound week per

pared with the normal 81 pounds per
capita in Great Britain and the nearly
hundred pounds in this country. Lord
Rhondda hopes, and Americans will join
the Britons in seconding the hope, that
the war viii make compulsory rationing
necessary in nothing but sugar. Ger
many, az we know, has strict rationing
in all foodstuffs--a ration that is meagre
in variety and far below the average
