THE TEST OF LEADERSHIP

In France and England, as in
America, it is becoming increasingly
difficult, it will soon become impos-
sible for statesmen who wish to
maintain their leadership to ignore
the issue that has arisen within the
nation. Our leaders must frankly
recognize the fact that, in Mr.. Will
sons words, "the whole world now
is witnessing struggle between two
ideals of government" and that mo
settlement of the questions that lie
on the surface can satisfy a situa-
ton which requires that the ques-
tions which lie underneath and at
the foundation should also be settled,
and settled right" Leadership in
every Allied nation will pass into
the hands of men who accept the
spirit and substance of the Presi-
dents Note to the Pope, and the
morale of the Allied nations during
the next year or two will be main
tanned or wrecked according as Mr.
Wilson succeeds or fails in getting
his conception of the war and it's pur-
poses accepted by the Allied govern
ments. He must begin by getting
it accepted by the American people.

BUY WHAT YOU NEED
AND STOP BOARDING

The Food Administration at Wash
ington has now perfected its organ
ization for the control of commodi-
ties while they pass through the
hands of large manufacturers and
merchants, a comprehensive licens-
ing system practically eliminates
speculation, boarding or profiteering
on a large scale. But the farmers
and small retail merchants are not
regulated under this licensing system,
and here is where the cooperation
Of the public is required to secure
the benefits of Food Administra-
ton along democratic lines. Uncle
Sam does not propose to interfere
directly with the daily routine of the
household Food Administration, there
fore, calls not only for food saving
by every American, but for intelli-
gent purchasing of food supplies from
day to day and refraining from
boarding. The machinery for sta
billing prices on flour, bread, can
ned goods, cold storage products,
and other basic necessities of life,
is now in operation. The retail
merchants are expected to buy only
such supplies from week to week as
will take care of their customers,
just as the flour miller and bread
baker are required to limit their
production to what is actually nee
essary to take care of the people
they serve. To buy more than
one needs is not only unjust to
others, but bad business for the
person who endeavors to gain some
thing in this way 1t is largely
excess buying and boarding by house
wives, moved oby fear of scarcity or
higher prices, that has raised prices
in the past, and this evil the Food
Administration is trying to over
come. Therefore, buy only for your
own requirements, help keep the

stable, help your retail merchants
in their efforts to take care Of your
needs, and if you find any disposition
in your community to get into a
panic about food articles or either
to charge or pay unreasonable
prices, understand that this is con-
trary to the real purpose Of Food
Administration and that is your
duty as citizen to oppose it, and
also that if the aggregate of such
local fears and overcharges grows
large enough to reach up into the
manufacturing and wholesale trades.
which are under Food Administra-
ton licenses, this licensing system
will stop it-for that is precisely
what it was designed to do.

PATRIOTIC PLEDGE
BY LIQUOR DEALERS

Without a dissenting vote, mem
bers of the National Wholesale Lii
quor Dealers Association at the 22nd
Annual Convention at the Hotel Sin
ton, Cincinnati, Ohio, adopted a reso-
luton offered by Morris F. Westhei-
mer, of Cincinnati, offering it's dis
tilleries, financial resources, and even
the lives of themselves and the men
and women employed in this bust
ness, to the American nation. The
resolution follows;
BE it resolved by the distillers
and Wholesale dealers representing
the distilled spirit business of the
United States, in meeting assem-
bled at Cincinnati, Ohio
THAT this industry viewing with
solemn thought the great demand
and sacrifices imposed upon the
American nation by the impending
war, for the preservation Of Amer
lean standards of human freedom,
the institutions of free government
in America and American notions of
the rights of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, does pledge
its support to the government of the
United States in the conduct of this
war, to that victorious conclusion
which alone is compatible with our
origin as a nation, with our history
as a free people and with the con-
secrated devotion of this generation
to surrender our free country and it's
institutions only to our posterity.
ITO this end this trade stands
ready to aid the government with
It's resources in munition. plants, its
financial resources in taxes, loans
and subscriptions, and the manhood
and womanhood of the thousands of
American families which it repre-
sents."
In striking contrast is this to the
position taken by Prohibition sena-
tors, representatives and LOBBYISTS
who sought to tie the hands of the
government last winter and unless
Congress would adopt a resolution
submitting a constitutional amend
ment providing for nationwide pro-
hibition.

OUR REAL TRAITORS
ARE THE PROFITEERS

Louis f. Post, Assistant Secretary
of Labor, denounces profiteers and
monopolists as slackers and worse in
an article in The Public of New
York. He says:
1.-THE readiness of privileged bene-
ficiaries of the rich natural resources
of our country, to relinquish through
war taxation not only part but if
necessary all the unearned profits of
those resources in preference to
burdening any ones earnings with
war expenses, is a fair test of their
professions of patriotism. How can
they object to this principle of fl
nancing our war in defense of a
land of which they own so much,
without thereby discrediting every
patriotic profession they make.
when genuine, patriotism is mod
est. Like Pauls concept of the
charity that is love, it "vaunteth not
itself" and sis not puffed up" Nor
is it greedy of unearned gain. Brum-
magen patriots they are, to be sure,
whose greed keeps pace with their
arrogance. Such as these cling
tenaciously to the unearned profits
of their privilege of saying with
legal force and effect, "The natural
resources of this country are ours!"
Let US not be deceived by them to
our national undoing. What are
they but slackers? While hundreds
of thousands of young Americans,
most of whom do not own enough of
the natural resources of their coun-
try for grave, are conscripted into
the battle-lottery of death in de-
tense of it, shall monopolists of Ma
lures gifts to it be patiently heard
with objections to conscripting their
unearned wealth in preference to in
dustrial earnings? Think of our
natural coal, iron and oil deposits,
of our local domains of fertile farm
ing lands speculated out of use or
farmed by tenants, of the fortunes
in our city lots, of our kingdoms of
forest areas-all developing increas-
ing values as mere premiums
of ownership! Increases, moreover
which are largely due to the war
itself. Think then of their owners
Directing to special war taxation on
those unearned values! If these be
not slackers whom shall we with
honest face denounce as slackers ?
They are worse than the weakest
Stacker of common reproach-as
much so as sordid greed is worse
than physical fear.
"Only types, however, are they
for the trail of this sordid Treason
runs through the whole domain Of
Big Business-which, by the way
| is bad, not because it is big but
because it's interrelated interests are
monstrously rooted in natural re
source monopolies. The condemna
ton is for all. Whoever in any
way takes advantage of this coun
try's war necessities to get "easy
money" is not patriot but a ghoul
1t was this ghoulish type of patriot
that President Wilson's words re-
buked when he said that patriotism
has nothing to do with profits" in
times like these. Singing but sad
ly needed and justly applied were
those words"

THE UNTAXED PROFITEER
Contributed by the American Eco
nomic League)

Contributed by the American Eco
nomic League)
The discussion about taxing war
profits is leaving out of considera-
ton the greatest. profiteer of all.
In localities where war supply in
dustries have sprung up, the land
lord is performing his national func-
ton of appropriating the lions share
of financial benefits. This has been
evident for some time in munition-
manufacturing centers. In Whining
ton, Del; Chester, Pa; Bridgeport,
Conn.,, and many other industrial
towns the war has caused rents and
land values to double or treble.
House famines exist, as well as large
tracts of unused land held on spec
ulation.
In addition to manufacture of
supplies, the erection of environments
is bringing grist to the landlords
mill. Note the following in the
Wilmington IN. c. Dispatch:
complaint is being aired in some
cities that have been given canton
ments about high rents; big raise
in rents. In the Columbia Record
one complainant states that whereas
he had been paying $35 per month
for home the rental has been ad-
vanced to $50, and that his case
is the rule and not the exception.
In this way it appears that many
poor men are getting mulcted by
reason of camps. This is not due
to the government, but due rather
to certain people of the town desir-
ing to exact a pound of flesh. Of
course there is knotty problem in
volved. If the demand becomes
greater for homes, due to the arrival
of the families of officers and
workmen for the camp, these people
must be given homes. 1t may not
be expedient to build new houses, as
they would be left on the hands of
the owners after the extraordinary
condition ceased. On the other
hand, if new houses are not erected,
permanent residents might have to
be displaced, and it is the most
logical thing in the world for such
displacement, if made, to be the
result of competition, with attend
ant raise in rents for houses"
1t is unfair to blame the landlord.
For several months Congress has had
before it the Crosser bill, which if
passed, would have put a tax of
$2,O0O,000,O00 on land values, and
has not even considered it. The
landlord is justified in assuming that
Congress wants him to take all he
can get.
Not only does Congress refuse to
take the landlords war profits for
war purposes, but it is passing a
revenue bill which will pile lot of
additional taxes on the unfortunate
citizens who, on account of the war,
must pay higher rents. 1t can see
no war profits other than those
obtained. by manufacturers, and 1T
dare not tax these too heavily. So
it is not putting one penny of taxa
ton on the one kind of war profit
which could be taxed 100 per cent,
not only without injury to business,
but to its great advantage.

the eyes of their blind senator's and
