States should be misunderstood
But care should be taken that
the misunderstanding is cor
rected as soon as possible. Large
numbers Of resident aliens are
now alarmed, fearing that their
deposits in American banks, their
personal belongings, and even
their homes if they own them,
will be conhscated by the govern
ment. There is no such inten-
ton.
The only unnaturalized aliens
liable to such loss are those de-
nominated "alien enemies" A
few have been so stigmatized,
and are now in detention camps
or prisons. There will not be
many added TO their ranks.
The real purpose of the trad
ing with the enemy" clause un-
der which the custodian of alien
property" is now acting is to en-
able the United States to utilize,
for war purposes, the property
in this country owned by non
resident enemies. There are
many hundred million dollars
worth of such property Some of
it is owned by the governments
with which we are al war. Most
of it is owned by subjects of
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bull
garia and Turkey who live i'm
those countries. Their property
consists mostly of funds, secur-
tiles, collectible debts, commOdi-
ties and patent rights. All of
these can be taken, according to
the act passed by congress on
October 6, and applied to mill
tary use.
In the case of property owned
by an enemy government, the
process is apparently one of
downright conhscation, in which
the amount obtained will be
credited against claims we may
present to that government at
at the close of the war. In the
case of property owned by pri-
waite enemies, it is explained that
no piracy" is contemplated; our
government simply takes the
property to carry on the war.
When peace comes. the prophet
ors will be compensated when
ever the property was, in good
faith, privately owned and not of
military character. Each case
will be decided on its own merits.

LABOR AND THE WAR

The American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy makes
these reflections upon the war:
Some people say this is cap
italists' war.
Along comes food control,
along comes terrific slash in the
price of steel, along comes
government ship monopoly, along
comes government fixing Of coal
prices, along comes establish
ment of trade union conditions
in all war work.
Some people say this is a war
for profits.
But profits we're never so
threatened in behalf Of the well
fare of the people as at this mo-
ment.
Some people ought TO get the
facts straight before they begin
to preach.
This is the answer that the
alliance makes TO the pacinsts:
Paciilsts usually are voluble
persons.
They can talk, talk, falkland
then start all over and talk.
But remember this:
There is just one answer to
every pacifst argument.
That answer is:
AMERICA WILL NEVER BE
RULED FROM BERLINi
Here is what Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American FEEDER
alton OF Labor, has TO say about
those who are working against
the government:
And let me say this, that l
hold that a man who is a traitor
to his country is upon a par with
the scab to his trade. I have a
great appreciation and desire to
see that the rights of the minority
are protected. I believe that men
have the right to express their
dissent, but the expression of
dissent is one thing and the or
ganizing of a movement to de-
stroy the will of the majority
that is not right and cannot be
tolerated"
Even the labor people of Eng
land are beginning to realize the
necessity of military service.
Here is a pronouncement on the
subject from ]. A. Seldom, who
has been president of one of the
leading labor unions and who
served the Labor party in parlia-
ment:
1.-THE progress of the war and
my experiences during a visit to
France helped to convince me
that until international disarm-
ament comes and the character
of the German is transformed.
we must guard ourselves by ma
tional service against future
dangers. The so-called voluntary
system cost us dearly. Witness
the destruction of so many Of our
first expeditionary force in
France, because we had not the
trained men to send to their sup
port.
st believe that the nation must
create a system that will give us
security for the future, and that
such a system can be established
without dislocating the industry
Of the country. We cannot risk
the repetition of 1914"

in excess of one million dollars.
Since the taxpayer each succeeding
year will have a growing burden to
bear In taking care of current require
ments, 1t seems to M that no cooper
alive project under the federal act
should be financed by a bond issue.
IL is interesting to note that In 1921
the state will have to provide-if we
enter partnership with the national
government in this matter-a sum of
money for roads alone equivalent to
practically one-half of the amount now
raised by taxation for all state govern.
mental purposes. Our citizens five
years hence should not be asked to
bear any of the burden which properly
belongs to the present.
THE foregoing applies strictly to
the financing of cooperative projects
conducted in conformity with the pro-
visions of the federal act. Road bonds
would be justifiable for other road
In every way substantial and perma-
nent In character, and not otherwise.
For every dollar made available for
direct expenditure on a bond issue of
the usual form in Nevada the people
OF the state must pay an additional
dollar interest. We would all regret

ut Is my hope therefore. that you
will give unusual care to the adoption
OF your highway program. The limited
funds at our disposal make 1t impera-
tive that road building at state tx
pense cannot be conducted on any but
the most useful and permanent high
ways and that no costly experiment
ing with unframed supervision can be
tolerated. A highway engineer of
training and experience will be a
prime requisite to any system which
you may adopt, and ! believe that
such measures as you may pass here
should prescribe the qualifications of
the engineer and require the approval
of his appointment by the director of
the federal department of public roads
and rural engineering.
