 We arc figthing for America and against Germany But even military autocracy does not dare to defend massacres on the mere ground of na- tlonal egotism. The German ruling class organized its vast propaganda solely to convince the world, includ- ing the Germans that it is fighting for principle. And the considerable de- relopment of that propaganda is chiefly due to its positive clements The Germans tell us they are fighting 10 spread '1Sultur," scientific efficiency and organization, state socialism.
 We are fighting against the effort of autocracy to spread at the expense or democracy. We are fighting to pre- vent militarism from committing sue cessful aggression. We are fighting against war, against the return of bar harism. What are we fighting for?
 Why rest with the statement that we are fighting against war and prep arations for war? Is 1t not infinitely more inspiring that we are fighting for that ceaseless improvement of the relations between the nations which can not fail to lead toward the fedora ton of the world?
 Why say we are fighting merely to defend democracy? Are we not fight ing to spread 1t? We can not spread 1t by the means of the machine gun. We do not issue an ultimatum to the German people: You must accept de- mocracy. But we do see-and say that as long as autocracy continues to exist we shah be obliged to wage some kind of warfare against it.
 But the German people may adopt some deceptive compromise that is neither autocracy nor democracy This We intend to prevent, but we can prevent 1t only by demonstrating to the Germans and to all the world that democracy Is superior in war. in diplo- macy. In industrial technique and or ganization, in the handling of racial and other minovlties: that we lead in educating ourselves as to the issues of war, In the formulation of just terms of peace, and in willingness to sacri- flee the smaller for tho larger good.
 We are fighting to demonstrate the superiority of democracy. But what democracy has given us chiefly so far has been individual opportunity. In the lack of national organization this opportunity has been little utilized for the national welfare.

governments. When the people have felt need, the state has been their servant to supply that need-vfereas in Germany 1t Is the people that are the servants of the state. Tn America it is our state, and we are fighting to show not only that it can do every thing that the German state has done, but can succeed where autocracy has failed.
 This is what We arc fighting for. However humiliating it may be. we did not seriously aim at the maximum of national efficiency in government and industry in time of peace. Only the frightful punishment and curse of war could bring tho democratic peo-

pies to exert themselves to the maxi mum as nations. Now only are we obliged 10 do our best now to remove every national weakness The enemy gains still more from the bascness that has fingered amoung us-the betrayal of our own democratic principles.
 We are fighting, then, not for what democracy was at it's worse, but for what democracy can be at it's best No; this is not a negative war. It is a war to advance democracy. And the only way we can advance democracy oven In war time--is to develop it. Only in this way can we administer to the enemies of democracy lasting physical, mental, and moral defeat.

How long do you thing our armies could stay in the trenches with wood- on guns and wooden shells? They could stay just about as long as they could if we made prices the excuse for taking food out of their mouths.
 Prices or no prices, we must eat to win this war. Those people need beef, pork and mutton. wheat, sugar and fats. If we fail to save in order that they may have them, we could just as well close down our steel plants and send them shells made of wood.
 Where there is war, food cannot be produced. X steel blow helps produc- ton, but steel is not a good cultivator when it breaks the land in the form of a shell. That has been shown in France, Italy, Belgium and all of the other countries shattered by battle. But nation can be at war and still maintain production, if the battle lines do not encroach on the farms That has been shown in Germany and is being shown in the United States. We have been charged with the tre- mendous task of feeding our associates in this war; and maintaining produc- ton on a scale that will meet our ac-

WHAT THE FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
 SAYS ABOUT WAR PRICES

People complain about war time prices. They complain because they are asked to reduce their consump- tfon of meats, wheat, sugar and fats they complain because some of the substitutes cost more than the food they are asked to save for their as- sociates on the other side of the ocean.
 All right, suppose that we grant their complaint about prices. But then let us look at the thing rfrom anothe angle. Prices are high there is no way to get around that War time prices have always been high. They will al- ways be high. But if we ate only the things we liked fully as well as the things we must save, and if we ate only the substitutes that were cheaper, how much of sacrifice would we be making in order to help win this war?
 Suppose that the men who are sup plying ammunition said it was dis graceful to pay high prices for steel when wood was so much cheaper And then just suppose that they used wood to make our guns and our shells-it's much cheaper and could be painted and smoothed down to look about like steel. a4s Js. .-,e

THE WAR: WHAT AGAINST, WHAT FOR

We are fighting to develop Q supc- riority where Germany has thrown down the challenge. We have 10 beat her in her chosen field, the develop mcnt of industrial technique under the leadership of government. We shall not soon excel her as to thoroughness which means long preparation and often coercion or subordination of the individual. But we shall excel in the for more important matter of bring ing forth individual initiative. And our national organization--in propor- tion as we build up a national organi- zation-will prove superior because SO many individuals in all ranks-too much not being demanded of them will give more than is demanded.
 Again the Germans have produced an efficient government. But they have produced it by physical, mental, and moral compulsion of the individual. The state is everything, it shapes the very thoughts and aspirations of the people. As a result the state Is wor- shipped, not only for what it is but also for what it is not. The state can do no wrong-at least abroad. At home it may not be omniscient, but 1t is omnipotent. It is fate; resistance is inconceivable, revolution an out worn theory. How can the great bulk of citizens develop either courage or intelligence in their attitude to such a state?
 The democratic governments of the world also have been assuming vast industrial functions since the war and it is possible that some of these functions will be permanent. But these activities are not based on any state doctrine taught the people by
The Nome daily nugget., 1918-04-13

tual needs and still leave enough to fill the gap between Europ's produc- ton and consumption. The only solu- ton is to reduce our own use of the foods most needed abroad. We must employ substitutes for beef, pork, and mutton, wheat sugar~and fats. This war Is as much ours as 1t Is Europes and there is no reason why We should ask Europe to bear all of the sacri- fees and deprivations.
 Did you ever stop to wonder why food prices are high in war times? Or have you just complained about the fact that they are high, and then won dered why in the world the govern mont hasn't stepped in and brought them back to the anti-bellum level?
 The next time you complain about prices, stop to think of the farmer who grew the things you are buying Do you know that he is paying g or $2. 50 a day for labor he could get before the war for s1 or $1.25--and that he is having mighty hard time getting anybody at all. Do you know that every railroad in the country Is con gested and that it is much more diff cult to get farm products to market
The Nome daily nugget., 1918-04-13

when it went as high as $15 last sum mer and threatened to keep mounting? Have you remembered that the farmer is getting more money out of $l0 or $ll flour today than he got out of $14 or S15 flour six months ago?
 No you haven't thought of these things You just know that prices are high, and you wonder why some body doesn't do something about it." If you stopped 10 think, maybe your tone would change from complaint to wonder. Prices are high, but the won der is that they are not higher, when you come to thing of it.
The Nome daily nugget., 1918-04-13

than it was year ago? Do you know that the man who buys food from the farmers and then distributes it 10 the wholesale dealers has to pay much more for his labor than he did before the war? And do you know that all of his necessary expenses have been on the ascendant? Do you know that the wholesale dealer is paying wages and salaries that he could scarcely have dreamed of a few years ago?-and that the same thing is true of the re- tallers?
 And then, on the other hand, when you wonder why the government has mt taken q hand, have you stopped 10 consider that prices have risen on a much lower scale than has ruled in other wars?
 Have you thought when you paved nine or ten cents for sugar, with the country going through an actual sug- ar famine, that it would have gone much higher had not the government, through the United States Food Ad- taken measures to stabilize the market? Have you stop ped to wonder why the wholesale price of flour is less than $l1 a barrel,

BAN ON EXPORTS OF
COTTON MODIFIED
Nations Except Enemy and

May Buy Here.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2o.--All restric-
tons on the. shipment Of cotton from
the United states except to enemy ceun-
tries and TO the northern Europe neu-
trails have bsen removed, Hoke Smith,
United States Senator OF Georgia, said
to-day after conference with off1cials
OF the War Trade Board. Cotton Is ex-
pected to flow more fI.sely to countries
contiguous to Germany when that nation
has complied with all the terms OF the
armistice, the Senator said.
Cotton in increased quantities already
Is moving 10 the allied countries. Be
cause OF the fact that midas cotton
crop this year was sufficient only for
that country's needs. Senator Smith said.
Japan has been very anxious to get cot
ton from the United States. Japan's
needs are estimated at 100000 bales.
Stocks of cotton in the South now are
reported 50 great that Southern Sem
ators and Representatives at A recent
conference decided to ask the War Trade
Board and other Government agencies

The matter also was brought to the at
tention of the President

to import American cotton have indi-
Gated a readiness 70 supply the TONNAGE

moved they expect the movement TO
