AGREEMENT UPON COLONY

Decision Regarding Disposition
OF Land.
IRv Associntcd rrcss.l

LONDON. Jan. al.-Thc official an
nounccm"nt issued by the supreme
council Thursday night is welcomed
by the Times in an editorial as an in
dication that the controversy over the
future Of the German colonies is tend
ing toward an agreeable solution.
ON the first capital point" the Times
says. the allies and the United States
are absolutely agreed. They arc unani-
nous that in no circumstances can
any colonies be restored TO Germany.
She has demonstrated her unftncss to
be colonizing power by her abuse
Of the possessions she had before the
war. Economically, she exploited the
lands and the people for her selfish adj
vantage: her civil administration was
ruthless and barbarous tyranny and
her political aim was the establishment
of 'mi!!,ar!sm
The man-catinE tribes In German
East Africa. from which she recruited
her soldiers are the only natives of
whose good will she could boast. She
has proved that colonies in her hands
means brutal oppression 10 the inhabi-
tants and menace to Europe and to
America. To return them to her would
be as unjust ms il would be fatuous."

BEATING THE BARBER s STRIKE

During the BARRIERS strike in Balti-
more customers were furnished mugs,
soap, razors, etc., and allowed to
shave themselves without cost. This
action was taken by the master bar
bers who claimed that the barber,s
strike was called in violation ofsa
contract signed by them with the
union in 1918. So they kept a record
of the losses and suits may follow
against the union and its individual
members. Another good way to get
rid of the strike evil! 1t would not be
a difficult matter for the barber Gus
toners to boycott such strike. A
"Shave Yourself" campaign could be
instituted and as for hair cutting, why
not return to the old earthen bowl that
mother used to use when she cut your
hair with her sewing shears? There
are more ways than one to fight this
strike monster.
