LABOR TO RULE WORLD.
Schwab Says U. S. Will Have More
Destroyers Than Now Exist.

New York. Jan. % - Charles NJ.
Schwab. president OF Bethlehem Steel
and subsidiary companies, speaking
before the alumni Of public school No.
40. told his hearers to prepare for a
new social order. in which the affairs
Of the world will be In the hands OF
the proletariat instead Of the aristoc
racy ard the wealthy.
I'VE are at the threshold OF new
social era" Mr.. Schwab said. after dis
GUESSING the war situation. This new
order of things may work great hard
ship for many of US. II will come
upon US sooner than we expect. 1t is
the social renaissance OF the world.
Some people call It socialism; others
call 1t bolshevikism.
1T means that the man who lahors
with his hands, who does not possess
property. will dominate the affairs of
this world. not merely Russia, Ger
many and the United States, but the
whole world.
Great Social Readlustment.
This great change is going to be a
social adjustment, but perhaps in the
end 1t will work for the good of all
Therefore. it Is our duty not to oppose
but to instruct, to meet and to mingle
with the ideas Of others
II am not anxious to give away my
wealth. The more wealth and power
one acquires, the more one wants.
THE transition from the old to the
new order Of things will be SO
gradual that we will hardly realize it
has occurred. The pendulum will swing
so far that you and I may find it hard
for time, but there will be an ad-
justnent.
The aristocracy OF the future will
not be the aristocracy Of wealth, but
the aristocracy Of men who have done
something for their country and the
world Such men will be true aristo-
Gratis. Whatever the Creator has de-
signed will come. and il will be good.
Swarm Of Oestroyers Coming.
MANY months ago the secretary Of
the navy called upon us to undertake
the task Of building a fleet Of torpedo
boat destroyers. AS you know. the al!
lies have learned that the destroyer is
the only weapon that has COPIED at all
successfully with the submarine.
in this connection YOU may be lit
tie surprised and pleased to learn that
we have under construction and will
complete inside of eighteen months
more destroyers than are now pos
scssed by all the navies of the world
put together.
AT our Bethlehem plant we are en-
ploying 100000 workmcn. with pay
roll of 100000 n month. We have
contracts on hand estimated at $780,

MEN SHORT OF CLOTHING.
General Pershins Compelled to Buy
Uniforms and Blankets in Europe.


Washington, Jan. 26.-More OF the
secret testimony before the senate mil
itary committee was made public today
disclosing on Dec. i3 General Pershing
was authorized to buy 100000 British
uniforms for American troops and 2oO,-
600 blankets in Spain.
The record also shows that Quarter
master General Sharpe insisted that
!nasrnuch as numbers of American
troops were sent to France practically
year ahead Of tn" time planned some
record OF the situation should be made
10 show the condition under which he
was forced 10 furnish supplies.
On Oct. ., a memorandum by Cen
cral Sharpe quoted a Cablegram from
General Pershing saying the Ameri
can expedition had practically no sup
plies on land. On oct. IS a memoir
andum from General Sharpe to the
chief Of staff, said If it is not deemed
advisable to discontinue the shipping
OF troops aboard the necessity of pro-
vtding clothing for the troops abroad
already is imperative"
This was followed BY receipt of a
message from General Pershing on the
clothing situation. The reply from
General Sharpe stated 1T was the do
cis!on Of the president to send troops
abroad at an earlier date than anticl-
pated and to call increments of the
national guard at an earlied date than
he had recommended and that he had
called on the war department TO make
ore strenuous efforts and the secre
tary Is convinced that the energies
made will meet all future calls on the
war department" and that while the
supply situation continues to be cru
cial. supplies will continue to be detri-
buted in such manner that none will
suffer.

crate strength from oats. The prospect
Of zero temperatures and further snow
fall was regarded as likely again to
retard the movement. Cash corn was
unchanged. The Tumor that there

had no effect as the discount Of the
futures under cash encouraged belief
that any maximum fixed might be
higher than prevailing levels, for tu
lures.
Oats-Cats again made high records
during the early trading and closed

Governments Business Methods.

Congress provided Government more
money than could be spent within the
limitations Of the supply Of labor, ma
terials and productive plant. Yet there
are complaints that Government II
poor pay, and formal protest has been
made. The worst cases are those Of
the soldiers, whose pay Is months in
arrears. In some cases there have been
published reports that their dependents
have been turned out Of their homes
for non-payment OF rent. For such
cases 1t Is difficult to imagine an ex.
cuse. For slow payment Of commercial
bills the excuse. no doubt. Is red tape
and insistence upon accounting forms.
The treasury has its own procedure,
and it Is not that OF ordinary business.
On the one hand, the treasury dis
burses millions Of dollars as though
they were cents and. on the other hand.
it discourages small business men from
seeking government custom thru the
vagaries OF its manner OF payments.
To some large contractors advances
upon account of future payments are
available, and rightly so. But smaller
concerns get no such favors. On the
contrary Government sometimes defers
payment Of them for reasons beyond
their ability to control.
On this head the National Credit As
soctation has entered its protest in for
NAL communication to tie president,
cabinet and Council Of National De-
Tense, to the effect that Government
should pay its bills like other buyers,
and with equal consideration for large
and small contractors. "Insufficiency
OF clerical help. office system. or any.
thing whatsoever should not be allowed
or used as an explanation for delay in
meeting obligations in strict agree
ment with the sale terms."-New York
