to solve the labor problem. Every month it can
be used to cut the cost reproduction. And so,
in twelve months Of steady use the Parrett will
earn just that much more profit on the

One reason for all this is that the Parrett is

where the words industrial lemoc-i
racy" were in the mouths of thousands
before the war, they are now in the
mouths Of millions.
This movement of. the common pe0-
pie toward a change in the Industrial
system is manifested in America in
the sudden rise and growth Of the
National Nonpartisan League and
other progressive and reform farmer
organizations i'm the United States;
the cooperative farm and labor move
ments Of America; thesefise of the
American Labor Party, insistent on it's
sweeping demands for public owner
ship; the; new Endorsement by organ
lied labor for a big program Of demo
cratic control over industry and the
sudden rise and sweep of the Plumb
plan of public ownership, backed
already by six million workers and
farmers. -
The Changing World.
In England. this movement of the
masses is SO great and sudden as to be
almost startling. Out of the ashes of
the war gfant-labor-has arisen
and boldly proclaimed new civilian
ton. The first steps Of it's program
are the public ownership of the rail-
roads, the mines and the shipping In
dustry. The next step is the further
extension of the democratic control Of
the people over the other industries
and the financial institutions. Students
Of the situation say that the rule Of
this element-the common people
over Great Britain is inevitable within
few years.
In Fyance and Italy, in Australia
and Canada, Id the countries that
were neutral during the war, in the
conquered countries, in Russia, even
in JAPAN India and China, this same
movement of the common people to-
ward the democratic control of indus
try is SO marked since the, armistice
was signed that it constitutes, the
greatest epoch of change in the history
of the world. In Russia a government
controlled by workers and farmers
has actually taken over and is operat-
ing publicly most Of the railroads,
mines and factories, practically all the
banks, the bulk Of the marketing of
farm products. all insurance, and a
large percentage of the stores and
other distributing agencies.
The big, ,Sworld-wide fact since the
signing of the armistlce is that the
system is changing or is being
changed. Nothing lis more important
than that the people grasp this fact.
Clear understanding, calm Judgment
and knowledge of what to do are
needed as never before in the history
Of the world to guide us through this
great epoch, SO that out OF the chang.
ing order will come a higher and bet.

PRESENT SYSTEM Of INDUSTRY
FACES FUNDAMENTAL CHANCES
Signing Of Armisice Followed BY Greatest Movement
Of the Common People In History
Of the World.

The world war and the worldwide
tangle that has grown out of 1t has
confronted the thinker and the citizen
of every country with a great, new
problem.
Thinking citizens have suddenly
become aware that the whole indus
trial system under which we live is
threatened. They have begun to feel
that our system Of industry is going
to pieces-that 1t Is changing despite
anything we can do--fhat we will have
to take u hand in this change and give
it intelligent direction, il we Mould
avoid catastrophe.
This new realization Is evident on
every hand. The demand in the
hearts Of the masses for u lengue Of
nations was widespread human Inn
pulse to re-shapes the world to basis
of justice and peace between nations.
However abortive that purpose has be-
come in the hands of diplomats and
imperialists, the desire is still grow
ing in the hearts of the people.
Soldiers Fought for Better World.
Millions Of soldiers fought and died
in the war firmly believing that the
war was bringing great change in
the relationships Of men-bringing, in
fact. a better world-a higher civiliza-
ton. That this belief existed to a
surprising extent in the trenches has
been proved by the testimony of hum
dreds OF writer's and by the millions
of soldiers who have returned to
their homes. If this hope has beef
temporarily disappointed, If the world
has seemed to the returning soldiers
to have gone backward, instead of
forward, 1t means only that this long.
ing will be stronger than ever.
In the face of this imminence of
change, the mind of man has changed
and is thinking in new terms. The
thinkers of every land care basing all
their thoughts and conclusions on the
assumption that the present system
cannot last. Where a:few years ago
the average thinking man secuted the
idea that there could be any indus.
trial system substantially different
from the present one, now 1t is gen.
orally acknowledged that great
changes must come.
People Struggling for Change.
But the greatest change Of all is
found in the new attitude of the com
mon people of every country. It is
as. though the producers17the toilers
on the farms and in the towns-had
suddenly become adults in thought
and action. They are demanding
democratic control of all things tina
affect their interests. The significan
fact is that the particular things owe
which they want democratic contro
are marketing, and industrial ant
financial institutions. They call thi.
control industrial democracy, ant
