ITALY'S PLANT.

Premier Nitti's much discussed
and long-expected statement concern
ing Italians and Adriatic affairs is
masterpiece of European diplomatic
bunk.
Without saying anything positive
", without taking stand on any
thing, straddling every question that
suggests itself, the statement con-
tains a dominant, underlying note
an appeal for sympathy for Italy,
and an exposition of the alleged
wrongs Italy has suffered, the. sacri-
fices she has borne, and the rewards
she believe that in justice she ought
to have. That is about all there is to
It.
That is the big thing-the rewards.
Territorial gain is what Italy seeks
and is what she sought when she cast
her lot with the allies. Nitti is
compelled to admit it.
But in almost the same breath that
he makes this admission he says that
Italy alone of the great nations Is
the only one which went into the war
for high-minded reasons, unselfishly,
and in order that the world might be
made better place in which to live
and grow-particularly in which
italy might grow-all up and down
the Adriatic.
Premier Nitti ought to be convin-
ced by this time that the people no
longer can be fooled into believing
that any nation goes to war for un-
selfish reasons. The average man
in any country is pretty we'll con-
WINGED now that to go to war there
must be an economic reason disguised
as a moral issue-misguised so that
he and others like MIN will follow
where they are led.
In addition to this general reason
why the average man can't be con-
WINGED Of nations sincerity and UNI
selfishness in warning on another
nation, there is the further reason in
the case of Italy. Italy, of all the
nations in the war, played a selfish
part from the start. Italy came
within an inch of aligning herself
with Germany, as she had bound her
self. It was greed that allied her
with the allies.

good deal Of time on these radicals
who are trying to destroy our sys-
tenn of government-the very govern
ment which is so tolerant that these
dogs find under it refuge from
their own governments or factions in
their native lands. They come to
America to save their hides, and they
find so much freedom here that they
must utilize their opportunities and
privileges against the power and
people that protect them.
Such persons deserve no considera-
ton from Americans-like the Ger
mans and the Mexicans they misun-
derstand Fairness and consideration
are to them signs of weakness. They
understand only means to which they
are accustomed-harsh methods.
Instead of so much investigation,
the radicals should be taken at his
first misstep and sent back to the
country from which he cancelled,
probably. And if the ship on which
he's sent back isn't seaworthy, we
ought to worry no more than to see
to it that the American crew is as
sured safety.

Congressman Beggs says "cham-
Der of commerce that is functioning
properly will be working in five diff
ferent fields of neutrality-suspicious.,
industry, commerce, transportation
and civics." A little thought proves
that for an organization to cover
these necessary fields it must have
the united support of the people
people must be willing to give time as
we'll as money. 1t is this wink Of
Chamber Of Commerce we want; 1t
is the kind of Chamber of Commerce
we will have if we-each one of us
will do our duty. This kind OF
Chamber of Commerce will not only
make Pine Bluff more prosperous, but
it will make it even better place to

Striking Printers

New York, Nov. 25.-Striking
compositors were still returning from
their vacations this morning, the
rush for jobs being greater than ever
when it was learned that many sup

to the large amount of work that
has been sent out of the city.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Writing from the American point
Of view, w. G. Shepherd, the well
known American correspondent now
at The Hague, has sent the Exchange
Telegraph company an article in
which he says the representative Of
Z German firm that manufacturers
printing presses came into Holland
recently. He went to the office OF n
certain great newspaper. This news
paper had been sorely in need OF
presses and had been negotiating
with American manufacturers.
~ will sell you press at prewar
prices" said the German. Il will
charge you in marks, and the mark
has fallen so low that you will have
a press now cheaper than before the
war;"
The press was delivered within a
month and cost the Hollanders exact
" two-thirds of what they would
have paid in America, not counting
freight rates.
The salesman spent three weeks IN
Little Holland, and when he returned
to The Hague he reported to his
friends:

start our Berlin factory full blast

There Is a much closer connection

this close connection that Indigestion,

Nervousness. Sl"cpleSsneSS, irritahil-
