Prices mean Same Everywhere.

Prices mean the same thing every
where now; they mean the efficiency
or the ineficiency of the nation,
whether 1t is the government that pays
them or not. They mean victory or
defeat. They mean that America will
win her place once for all among the
foremost free nations of the world,
or that she will sink to defeat and
become a second-rate power alike in
thought and in action. This is a day
of her reckoning and every man
amongst US must personally face that
reckoning along with her.
THE case needs no arguing. I as
sumo that I am only expressing your
own thought-what must be in the
mind of every true man when he faces
the tragedy and the solemn glory of
the present war. for the emancipation
Of mankind. I summon you TO a great
duty. a great privilege, a shining dig
nifty and distinction. I shall expect
every man who is not a Stacker to
be at my side throughout this great

ment as are the army and navy them
selves; the whole people in all their
activities are now modified and in
service for the accomplishment Of the
nations task in this war; it is in such
circumstances impossible justly to dis
tinguish between industrial purchases
made by the government and Industrial
purchases made by the managers of in
dividual industries, and 1t is just as
much our duty to sustain the industries
of the country, all the industries that
contribute to its life, as 1t is to sus-
tain our forces in the field and on the
sea. We must make the prices to the
public the same as the prices to the

President Wilson last night made public

must be paid that 1t is necessary to pay
very liberal and unusual profits in order
to stimulate production: that nothing
but pecuniary rewards will do it-rewards
paid in money, not in the mere liberation
Of the world"
Commenting on this. the President
announced his confidence in the bust
ness men Of the country. and issued a
warning. in these words:
II know and you know what response
to this great challenge OF duty and or
opportunity the nation will expect of
you. and 1 know what response you

The Presidents Statement

The statement is as follows:
my Fel1owCountrymen:
1.-The government is about to attempt
to determine the prices at which it will
ask you henceforth to furnish various
supplies which are necessary for the
prosecution of the war and various
materials which will be needed in the
industries by which the war must be
sustained. We shall. of course. try to
determine them Justly and to the best
advantage Of the nation as whole;
but justice is easier to speak of than to
arrive at and there are some considera-
lions which 1 hope we shall all keep
steadily in mind while this particular
problem of justice is being worked out
], therefore, take the liberty of stating
very candidly my own view of the situa-
tion and of the principles which should
guide both the government and the
mine owners and manufacturers Of the
country in this difficult matter.

Rev, Jeremiah 0'Su||ivan
An Interesting Series of Articles on
Social and Economic Subjects.

The Irish Standard takes genuine
pleasure in introducing to it's readers
Rev. jeremiah O'Sullivan, one OF
whose articles appears i'm this issue,
under the heading "a Bright Ray Of
Hope" he has already won an interna
tional reputation as writer, lecturer
and inventor. His writings deal chief
ly with social and economic subjects,
including the relationship of labor and
capital and similar problems that are
now engaging the attention OF the
greatest scholars and philosophers OF
the day.
He was born in Killarney, Ireland,
and received his education in that
country. In 1904 he went to England,
plunged heartily into parish work in
a. number of the large industrial com
munities. Later he added to his ex-
perience by travel in Europe, Asia and
Africa, before coming to this country
It is apparent from a cursory review
of his work that he is bold and fear

lectual treat in following the fascinat
ing studies of this vigorous student o.

following resolutions urging upon Coz.
gress to ask for Irish freedom, whic.
were subseq quently unanimously
adopted.
"Whereas, The avowed purpose OF
America, as we'll as England, on enter

rights and liberties Of small nations

Whereas, Ireland is one of the
small nations and is demanding her
liberty. Over her destinies the present
enemies of England and America have
no control and England has full power
to give Ireland her liberty; and
whereas, America has an opportu'

Ireland:

pet traitor, Carson. They have sized
up his fanaticism, his impenetrable
bigotry, and his ancient crouch, and
have begun to appraise him at his true
worth. They have become alert to
the danger to the Empire and to the
cause of democracy that exists in hav-
ing him ir even partial control of the
policies of the Government. They re-
call his open resort to rebellious meas
ures at the time the Home Rule bill
was passed, and are becoming aware
of his conspicuous lack of sense of
proportion.
They feel that he is more concerned
about the hypothetical grievances of a
few counties of Ulster than the safe
ty of the British Empire. They are
learning that like many other "cranks"
in public life, he is narrow, parochial,
and lacking in the essential qualities
of statesmanship-that he is a crouch
and nothing more. He is being car
tOOned in London as a bull dog that
will not talk, and therefore to be re-
garded with distrust. 1t is to be earn

German Catholics
Urge Support of
j. S. in War
Executive Board of the Catholic Gen.
tral Verein Issue a Plea to Its
Members to Eradicate All
Suspicion of DisloyaIty.

An appeal to 100 German Catholic
societies, representing membership
of hundreds of thousands, to bend
every effort in increasing the moral
and material preparedness of the coun-
try to win the war, has been made by
the governing body of the organiza-
tions.
The appeal, in the form of resolu-
tion, was prepared last week at a
war time" meeting of the executive
board of the German Roman Catholic
Central Verein in st. Louis. 1t will
be sent broadcast throughout the
country and will be published by thou
sands of newspapers.
The cooperation of the societies
with state and national authorities in
working for needed legislation, great
er activity in preparing the people to
meet the difficulties of war and the
cooperation with civic and charitable
societies are urged.
Cali leagues and societies affiliated
with the Central Verein should labor
studiously to dispel the unjustified dis
trust, here and there apparent, by ac-
lively cooperating with civic and
charitable movements, more especial
ly the work of the Red Cross" the
resolutions read.
"Love of ones country is natural for
man. Ennobled and fostered blythe
spirit of Christianity, it produces the
fairest fruits" is the opening state
ment of the resolutions.
1--WE know, therefore, what duty de-
mands of us, what we owe to our coun-
try, the United States, and we are
ready to act accordingly" the resolu-
tions continue.
1.-The present crisis demands of us
extraordinary efforts. Times Of war
test not only the physical, but still
more the moral fiber of nation.
''It becomes, therefore, our duty to
increase and intensity all of those ac-
tivities heretofore carried on, which
! ma. may tend to assist and strengthen the
moral, physical and material prepared
ness of the country; to initiate such
new endeavors as may seem neces-
sary. eve must not remain indlffer-
ent or inactive; we must demonstrate
to our people how to meet the difficult
ties arising from the war. instruction
and organization, ever the watchword
of the Central Verein, must be insisted
unon even more than formerly"
All the societies are urged to holo
their usual meetings and conventions
and to engage speakers who can ex
plain the problems confronting the
German Catholics, that they can bet
ter work for the interest of the pubic
welfare.
