CURZ0N SAYS EGYPTIAN
SITUATION is BETTER

LONDON (via MontreaD, March 25.-
The recent manifestations in Egypt
were predatory rather than political,
and the latest news gives cause for less
anxiety, Earl CurZon said in a speech
in the house Of lords last night.
Earl Curzon said the government had
never opposed the desire OF the Egyp-
tian ministers, Rushdi Pasha and ABLY
Pasha, to come to England to discuss
with the British government the future
government Of Egypt, With regard to
Said Zagloul Pasha and the other Egyp-
tian nationalists, who had organized the
present movement, the government
spokesman said there was no common
ground for discussion. The presence OF
these men in England would be inter-
preted as evidence that Great Britain
was willing to consider the complete
abandonment of its responsibilities.

With such information as reaches us
from America comes no hint of the ex-
tent to which the Bolshevist danger of
Europe is appreciated, There seems to
be in America a certain confidence that
Bolshevism is a thing incapable of pass
ing the Atlantic just as there is in Will
sonian circles here that Bolshevism wiz
surrender without condition, the mo-.
ment 1t finds itself in the presence OF
the league of nations actually organ
lzed. Whether Bolshevism could cross
the Atlantic or not must be problemat-
zeal. That Bolshevism may arrive at
the channel or even cross it into Britain
within the next year is at least be-
lieyed by many serious people In Paris
and out of it,
AS for the notion that the league of
nations carries any remedy for Boil
shevism, this is simply prepjosterous.
Bolshevism is as much as 1t Is any
thing an attack upon the theory and
system Of private property 1t is purely
and simply communism. 1t is class war
fare, directed against all our political
and economic theories in the western
world, 1t is systematically killing all
men OF capacity and ability in Russia
1t wars upon nationalism, upon patriot
ism, upon all that we have been accus-
toned to regard as organized civiliza-
ton. Its only liking for the league of
nations is based upon the conviction
that the league OF nations will disarm
exactly those forces which might other
wise resist Bolshevism, and so far this
is an accurate conclusion. N

In the first place, Europe and America

says:
To-day the American Legion has be-
come an aggressive factor in getting
jobs for our fighting men. They are
extending the scope of their work so
very rapidly that now this influence is
felt in every state in the union While
the original plan was for the members
to cooperate in employment work, in
many communities it has been neees-
sary for them to take over the entire
burden, because of the withdrawal Of
other agencies from the field In every
case they are meeting with the great
est success, and eventually the Legion
win be the great standby of the soldier
who needs assistance of any kind.
"If anyone still has any doubt in his
mind as to the present attitude of the
mass of discharged soldiers, / would ad-
wise him to go to any post meeting of
the American Legion and say something
against the government, advocating
bolsheyism, anarchy, or any other form
of destruction. He will then quickly
find that the ex -serviee man has not yet
forgotten the art Of fighting"

RUN DOWN WORK sLAcKERs"
Is New Job Which American Legion
Has Taken Upon Itself.

Eliminating the work Stacker" is
the new Job which the American Legion
has taken upon itself acting in con
junction with the war departments
chain of employment bureaus through
out the country. This type OF ex-serv-
ice man, while not numerous, is occa-
sionally a serious detriment to the work
of placing ex-soldiers and sailors in sat
isfactory jobs. Their attitude of shift
lessness after getting the place causes
dissatisfaction among employers who
are really trying to help, and gives
black eve to other service men who
still need work.
Practically all the posts Of the Legion
now have employment committees. In
some cases these committees have TAX
EN- over all the task of finding jobs for
their fellow service men. In other To-
calities they cooperate with the war
department, In Bridgeport, Conn,
where the work Stacker has been Sc
rious evil, the Legion keeps a special
file of such cases of repeating in jobs.
As rule art-toheart talk from a
comrade in arms has been enough. In
other cases a refractory man has been
denied the services Of the employment
Office altogether
In Detroit the Legion works also
with the police Where an ex-soldier in
uniform is taken up for some minor Of
tense, like begging or peddling, a proba-
tionary system has been adopted In
stead OF sending these men to jail, the
authorities have consented to put them
on probation with the American Lee
gion. This practice has had a very salu-
tary effect, and Detroits problem of
putting TO work every returned fight
ing man is no longer so serious.
In practically all states, the employ
ment committee Of the Legion now
makes canvass OF all the employers.
Wherever jobs are offered returned sol
diers, the employers are told that the
Legion expects to keep in touch with
the men in places, in order to see that
they give satisfactory service. If this
is not forthcoming, the Legion gives
such men short shrift. On the other
hand, the deserving ex-service man who
needs employment will have his case
persisted in until he is placed, Work
slackers have to appear before a com
mittee of their comrades.
In many places local chambers Of
commerce or associations of manufac-
turers have agreed with the Legion to
have job for every home coming sol.
der and sailor.
In commenting upon the nation wide
cooperation of the American Legion,
