DISARMAMENT AONN

The recommendation of Secretary
of the Navy Daniels to the Naval Com
mittee of the House that the U. 3.
should proceed in the naval program
without any let up, as the disarma"
ment question is one to be settled IN
future, and that no one can torsee
the decision the other Allied Powers
NAV arrive at in regards to it, bodies
i'll to all those who had the notion
that by smashing the military power
of Germany and Austria-Hungary
would usher n new era of world
wide disarmament. What the line up
of the different nations will be after
peaace has been made is a hard mat
ter to forsee. The administration is
showing wisdom in being prepared for
any and all eventualities.

PROBLEMS FOR TIE
PEACE Conference

One is puzzled to know how some
-of the problems coming before the
Peace Council are going to be solved
and how conflicting interests that are
bound to arise are going to be recon
ciled, and all the different war aims
especially the adjustment of boundary
lines as President Wilson expressed
it in his message to Congress on clear
ly recognizable national lines will
talk peace.
The national aspirations of the diff
ferent Allied Nations conflict in 81
many of their aims that one without
being seventh son of a seventh son
and unable to lift the veil that hangs
over the future can see that it Will
not be lone grand sweet song" when

nations who not only have the fate
of the Central Powers but OF prac-
ticalIy the whole world in the hollow
of their hands meet at the Peace Con-
ference. Take Greece, are her claims

old ten hour working day.
Il Living conditions have also under
gone great change for the better
since the government under the man
agement Of Colonel Disque has taken
over the control of spruce production
on the Pacific Coast. Anyone 1t even
only slightly acquainted with condi-
tions in the logging camps as they ex-
listed under private management was
aware that a change was imparatively
necessary. One may not agree with
the methods pursued by the l. w. w.
in their endeavor to bring about a
change for the better but the agitation
carried ON by them was in the main
responsible for the change that has
been wrought.
One instance will show how one
of Colonel Disque's lieutenants dealt
with one refractory logging company in
the vicinity of Port Angeles Washing
ton. An examination of the living
quarters furnished by the company to
the men who were to be employed by
the government to get out spruce for
airplanes, showed that the camp
buildings were so badly infested by
vermine at to be unfit for human
habitation.
No attempt was made to clean
them up. The buildings were set on
fire, new ones constructed and the
cost of construction charged up tC
the company. The company officials
Pmade the welkin ring with their howls
They would not stand for such high
handed proceedings, oh no, but when
thew were informed that If they were
not satisfied with the action that lao
been taken, Uncle Sam had no objec
ton whatever in taking the whole
management out of their hands and
relegate them to the background
their Indignation was quickly stlfled
Their bluff had been called and they
knew that they were up against Uncle
Sam and not loggers union or an
| /. w. w. delegate.
There are some companies not q
thousand miles from here that ought
to be accorded the same treatment.

mechanical machine would run for
twelve hours day instead of eight,
the human machine if one may use
the phrase, would consist of two shifts
each working six hours, and, in addi-
ton, the output would be as large in
six as in eight hours. Men who are
overworked' cannot produce much.
They are at their tasks many hours,
but their output is small because there
is utter absence of interest and energy
and enthusiasm in their movements.
While those who are employed fewer
hours, and given opportunities for
healthful recreation, produce swiftly
and wastelessly.
Lord Leverhulme says
Il believe-and my belief based
on practical eXperience-the human
machine could and would do as much
in six hours as in eight, except in a
few rare industries where exceptional
, conditions prevail while the extra
HOuIS WOIheu ny the ulSCldulCdI hid
chine would enable such an increased
output to be obtained as to insure the
possibility of the same wages being
paid to the human machine for six
hours as are at present paid for eight
hours work For it is obvious that
the mechanical machine, except for
a slight increaded cost of coal for
steam or driving purposes, will work
for twelve hours at much the anne
cost as it now works for eight, and
with but little extra depreciation.
The war has altered many things;
it has broadened our horizon; it has
given us new points of view; it has
clarified our thoughts; it has intro
duced radical change in our social
industrial and commercial systems.
And while the war is rebuilding our
industrial systems. let it do it on a
basis of justice to those who do the
work 1t can be done--economically,
scientifically and profitably to soci-
ETY. This will be especially feasible if
society takes over the ownership and
the operation of the principal means
of production But even under pri-
vate ownership, the six-hour day is
practicable.

recklessness, will not come back to
the monotony of actory life and will

FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION

The fact that the Federal Trade
Commission keeps right on exposing
the industrial organizations which
have the nation by the throat in peace
or in war is accumulated by reason of
their report upon four tobacco con-
Germs which have the industry com
pletely controlled, resulting in prac-
teal monopoly which by system of
price discrimination makes their po-
sition absolutely secure.
If there is anything big business
does not like it is shedding just such
light upon it's Vaccinations, but it
may reasonably be supposed that not
withstanding the protest and the in
dignation that is aroused from the or
CANS of big business such light will
continue to be thrown as long as there
are such Vaccinations to be shown
up.
Yet in view of the chorus of indig-
nation that came from the reptile
press when the profiteerng report was
published by the Commission we may
all expect that this time it will be re-
peated in fortissimo.
Everyone knows what it is like, and
lest there may be any doubt in the
minds of anyone as to what class OF
article that is, how stereatyped and
formal it has become, one may ven
ture to repeat here what is simply
a rehash of the general sentiment that
one hears expressed @der the cir
cumstances it will we may predict
run somewhat as follows:

Haven't you read that sort of thing
en- by SNUG faced editors who scram-
BILE for few beans from the scatter
ed jack pots of the rich mans de-
bauch of wealth seeking. Don't you
know that it is a daily rhyme, varied
maybe in phrase, but ringing for ever
and ever the same unchanging policies
which respectable" prostitutes of
Journalism delight to adopt. It is
what is regarded as the safe, sane
and constructive policy which makes
the daily paper of many pages of adj
vertisements the miserable counter
felt of truth-telling journalism it af-
fects to be and the perusal of which
leaves bad taste in the mouth.
Yet one thing is certain, the very
fact that the~Federal Trade Commits
sion is performing its functions with
a high sence of duty and unswayed by
the powerful ifluence that has in the
itself upon very high quarters, is in
tself shown by no surer sign than
that it ELECTS the acrimonious criti-
cism of the reptile press turnout the
land.
1t is enough to give pause when
these sheets turn to the performance
of work and begin to praise it. Then
indeed everyone begins rightly to sus-
rect the presence of the niggef i'll the
wood pile, for this very suspicion is
born OF past experience forbids qarS-
ton.
Indcd, II s.. as we have said ne de-
runciation has become so fa:'iliar
to us that we may easily recognize
it and as easily paraphrase it to our
hearts content without striking sim
gle varying note, so constant are the
chords that are harped upon when the
monopolies are hard set
The one amazing fact in connection
with the efforts of the officials to carry
out the duties imposed upon them by
the law in Connection with Big Biz is
the very simple one that they are met
at the outset by newspaper opposition
that is and has been one of the most
dangerous propagandas ever America
had to contend with.
II has been the same way in almost
everything and it is not uncommon to
find papers which cater to Big Biz,
the great misrepresenting, widely cir
culating respectable papers of influ
ence, denouncing this attack upon
profiteering that has been provoked
by long suffering people. 1t is de-
manded that it be stopped, that it is
enemy propaganda that anyone should
denounce these we'll placed profiteers
and the outrageous profiteering that
has ben going on.
In fact it is denounced as pro-Ger-
man to even mention the profiteers in
a slight tone, bordering upon sedition
and most unpatriotic. But none of.
these members of the reptile press
ventures to tell us in so many words
what, if the denunciaton of it is sedit-
tous, what profitetering any how
And is it that we are to regard it as
patriotic?

Hun Agents Attempt to Sink
Liner in New York Port Fails

LONDON, Feb. % (By MaiD'-- A
German agent in New York almost
succeeded in sinking the Cunard lin
er Pannonia, according to the story
told in court here this week The case
before the court was a suit by an En-
elish firm to recover $4,000 damages
from the Cunard line for wheat dam
aged by water.
The steamship owners denied that
the damage was chargeable to them,
"as 1t was due to the fact that a port
hole had been opened deliberately by
a German spy in New York" Coun-
sells for the Cunard line said: The
Panuonia was loaded by stevedores
regularly employed by us and there is
no reason to suspect them. But it
was known by every one that German
spies were active in New York at the
time and when the loading was pro-
ceeding every precaution was taken.
There had been attempts to bomb
ships and large bodies Of detectives
were on watch all the time.
All the portfolios were carefully in
spected before the cargo was put in.
The man who opened this portfolio
