On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
De No Compromise
In the Meantime
BY X. II. PAINE

Premier Lloyd George tells the house Of commons
that Great Britain desires TO know how far the
United States is prepared to assume her share in
guaranteeing the protection of people under the
Turkish yoke.
Meanwhile Great Britain has occupied Turkish ter
ritory.
In all the peace discussion there is nothing much
important than the question to whether the
United States shall plunge into the "protectorate"
business
This business is merely a governments self
imposed task of caring for incompetents; the proc
of it have always been the and the final
result always Imperialism in the An altruistic
vision of "the white mans burden" miscellaneous
brands Of liquor, particular brand of religion, entry
of Big Business and, finally, Imperialism to back up
the exploitation by Big Business! Such has been the
process of lifting the question of selfdetermnation
from burdened peoples.
While the United States is carefully considering
this matter Of adding to its white mans burden"
Lloyd George must be patient. lie should consider
that the United States has not been at with Tur
key; that the proposition to run Turkish territory is
wholly based sympathy and that there is in
America a whole lot more Of sympathy for British
territory called ireland than for any part of the
Turkish domain
Meanwhile, England seizes the Turkish territory.
That's very English. It's another gem in England's
really fine collection of protectorates and there can
not be very much objection to ii i'm America.

ton, striving for efficiency, which Is the
supreme right of man.
Once il was liberty or death; now it Is
team-play or impotence.
Russia. in the first throes OF democracy,
is helpless mob; America. in the mature
toys of democracy is making giant strides
toward unity.
The Labor Union is a first step toward
team-play: it preludes the grand union of
labor, brains and capital which shall charac-
terize the adult nation.
Team-play is based on the capacity of the
individual for discipline, his ability to choose
social instead of personal ideal.
Team-play is the final epoch in the evolu-
ton of man from the brute.
Team-play is the triumph of intelligence,
self-control and vision over ignorance, self
indulgence and blindness.
Without team-play there is no profit to
the manufacturer, no prosperity among
workmen. no good government for a city,
no success in the school.
Each is wronged and limited where all
exercise no team-pay.
Team-pay means one starred and striped
banner; no team-pay means separate torn
stripes and forty-eight shooting stars, scat
tered and useless.

Placing Farm Workers

The most important single meas
urc for meeting this situation that
has ye, been suggested is the placement Of
such men on farms. Several months ago
Secretary Lane recommended to Congress
that returning soldiers and sailors should be
given the opportunity to work at good wages
upon some part OF the millions upon millions
OF acres of arid, swamp, and eut-over timber
lands, in order to prepare them for cultivation.
President Wilson in his annual address to
Congress endorsed the proposal, As fast as
this preliminary task has been performed,
the men should be assisted by government
loans to establish themselves as farmers,
either as owners or as tenants having long
time leases
