A NATIONAL EVIL

The recent lynching of Jay Lynch
at Lamar, Mo-, is another evidence of
Americas national shame-lynching
We read with horror the reports of
Pogroms in Poland and Turkish mas
sacres in Armenia but in our own
country are lynchings.
At a recent meeting of the National
Council on Lynching at New York City
some startling facts were presented
regarding recent lynchings in this
country. Since President Wilson ap-
pealed to the people of the United
States to stop lynchings, especially
while this country was in the war on
the side of liberty and justice, sixty
four negroes and five white men have
been killed by mobs.
Other reports of the council show
that during the last thirty years, six
ty-one women have met death at the
hands of mobs in this country. Ten
of these we're white women Within
this same period of time 1924 persons
have been lynched in the United
States, three-fourths of them in south
ern states. Among the states, Georgia
leads with $50 killed by mobs. Mis-
sissippi follows with 373 victims.

THE AUSTRIAN TERMS

The dismemberment of Austria, as
ratified by the peace terms handed to
the Austrian delegates, is only the
logical outcome of a nation, built up
as Austria was, upon racial jealousies,
discomfort and conflicting traditions
of language, religion and principles.
The Notwithstanding sessions of
the legislative bodies of the dual mon
archy have for years been unfailing
prophets of the final disruption of
that seething caulthron of antagonistic
nationalism.
The separation of the jealous Mag
vars, the naughty TeutOns, the am
bilious Czechs, and the twenty odd
other races of Austria and Hungary
was bound to come, and its coming
can hardly be regarded as the dis
memberment of an empire, but rather
as only a readjustment which should
and will make all elements happier.
Viewed in this light, the Austrian
terms are much less drastic. The bill
lion-dollar indemnity imposed on the
nation is a small matter as wartime
finance goes, and the loss of her ar
mics and navy is the only serious
blow administered by the peace terms,
and in this age of coming disarma
ment, even this will not be a serious
handican

people work together.
The encouraging things about a
community council like the one Or

1t brings together the crystalized
sentiment of the different welfare or

Indeed, such a council will have pow

De Remer is in London as an au-

POLAND is great admirer of Amer

ity in helping to feed the Polish pop

leans was wonderful Just now what
Poland want is food and guns for its
army to fight the Bolsheviks. 1t also
wants to build up the nucleus of
Polish artillery force.
1T is for this reason we wish to
buy American light guns if possible.
understand America is agreeable to
selling some of them to us rather
than go to the trouble and expense of
shipping them back to America. We
may also buy many of their rifles.
I'VE are not interested in buying
heavy guns owing to the fact that
roads in Poland are very bad.
But the purchase of guns, for
which l am prepared to spend be-
tween thirty and forty million dol
lars. is not the only thing we want.
Poland needs food, machinery and
many other things. Much of this we
expect to buy in America"

The combination of the cessation of export trade and the interval re- Quired to turn war industries into peace industries has brought about declining prices in copper as we'll as other commodities, and while prices are falling, buyers lack courage to purchase.
 This is summing up of conditions which have brought about the exist ing situation, hut the present and future interests are even more un- certain than the past. It appears that the using up of accumulated stocks is progressing even though it may be slow in Europe and America. nesltralst and Central empires, es we'll as the rest of the world, will need copper and the manufactured forms in which copper is an impor- tant part. Telephone and telegraph companies have a large amount of postponed construction work which must soon be placed. With the com ing of spring considerable construc- t1on work may be expected and or ders will undoubtedly be placed which require copper.
 With the better understanding of the very great increase in the cost of production that has occurred in the last five years, confidence will be re- stored to buyers and they will ac- cordingly come into the market, probably at the present level of prices. Giving credits to foreigners for exports will greatly facilitate mareting of copper and other Ameri- can products. This is now being considered
 The conference also adopted the following resolution:
 WHEREAS The copper industry in peace times has always depended upon it's export trade for over half its production, and
 WHEREAS, It appears upon reli- able authority that foreign countries have great difficulty at the present time >in financing purchases of the products of our country, and
 WHEREAS, We deem it to the best interests of labor and industry in the country to help remedy this temporary breakdown of the ma chinery of international trade;
 BE IT RESOLVED, That this meeting of representatives of the labor of the copper industry do urge and recommend that Congress pass such legislation authorizing Govern ment aid as will furnish the neces sary long term credits to facilitate the resumption of our export trade in raw materials. agricultural pro
 ducts and manufactured goods"

warehouses on the Atlantic seaboard, coupled with the additional fact that sales during the past two and a half months have been less than five per cent of the output in this coun- try, the inevitable has happened. Press dis patches from the copper districts of the United States bring information of a curtall- ment of production and reduction in wages. The condition is nation wide and the Arizona producers likewise, to avoid complete shut down, are compelled to adjust their operating expenses in keeping with the selling price of copper. The entire copper situation has been thoroughly canvassed by the Department of Labor in conference with representatives of the workers from the states of Arizona, Utah, Montana and New Mexico. At the conclusion of the conference bulletin was issued by the Secretary of Labor bearing the situation. This bulletin appears ill another column of the Era this week and is plain and unbiased finding of facts. That the workers understand the serious situation confronting the produc- CTS, which automatically effects their interests, was manifested by their action in Washington this week when the representatives of em- ployees appointed permanent committee to cooperate with managers of the industry ln restoring normal conditions. What the future holds no man can fortell. Congress has been urged by representatives of the workers, ln resolution adopted at the conference, to pro- vide legislation for the extension of long time on credits to foreign countries to stimulate the copper market and relieve conditions Tn he industry characterized as critical.

 There is no secret about it. Noting mys- terious. It is plain and simple case of right living. Many hours day in the open air, much exercise that brings into play all the functions of lungs and heart and muscle, good substantial food to build up the waste caused by the vigorous life, plenty of sleep for the same purpose, regularity of eating habits and sleeping habits and living habits in general, careful examination from time to time to nip any incipient diseases in the bud-these are about the main features of the camp system that has transformed young men who were only fifty per cent efficient into splendid physical machines without superfous ounce of fat on them.

The Arizona Chapter of the Mining Congress has received but little of great deal of credit that is due by reason of its actlvl- ties in Arizona coupled with efforts put forth for the advancement of the states best inter ests in other parts of the country. The member ship has as matter of fact, gone ahead with a great deal of work very modestly, finding in results obtained ample payment for effort put forth and asking no public acclaim. great deal of matter has been printed not only in Arizona but all through the country under the direction of MT. Curry that has had valu- able effect in advancing knowledge of the states opportunity and investment. It IS of knowledge also that the chapter has brought about pressure at differetnt times in the last few years which has proteced Arizona from disadvantages that would otherwise have fall en upon it through congressional and other proposed federal actions These were stopped or properly altered upon his presentation of facts requiring weighing before justice could be done or intelligent action taken.

In another column of The Copper Era this week appears a communication from James Colquhoun former resident of Clifton, when he was general manager of the Arizona Copper Co., Ltd. The open letter appeared in the columns of the Edinburgh Scotsman under date of Dec 27, 1918 and deals with the Bol- sheviki regime in Russia where MT. Colqu- houn has been engaged in copper mining for several years past. It paints plain picture of the disaster and ruin following in the wake of Bolshevil1i rule under Lenine and Trotsky, and is an interesting and enEghtening article from beginning to end.

WILSON OR LEVINE?
(New York World.)

President Wilson is an able man who is seeking to save the bourgeo- isie, but he must not be followed, exclaimed M. Loriot at meeting of French Socialists in Paris. "The mo- ment has come to choose between him and Lenine."
 The issue could not be more clearly or more felicitously expressed. It is an issue that does not confront the French alone. It confronts all Flu rope. It confronts the whole civiliz- ed world. From the moment the armistice was signed it became the dominant political question for the Peace Conference to answer. The irrepressible conflict of the war was between democracy and autocracy. The irrepressible conflict of peace is between democracy and Bolshe- vism. Is Wilson to triumph or Len inc?
 This political situation has been increasingly clear to European states men for many weeks. They are closer to the heart of things than most Americans, and it has long
 
 was not going back to the old condi- tions that prevailed before the war. Many of them have no personal sym pathy with this new state of affairs or liking for the memorable facts of | the case. They would much prefer to have the world drop comfortably back into the ancient order of things and be satisfied to let we'll enough alone, but they realize that it can not be, and they are not such fools as to believe that the tide of events can be swept back.
 The triumphs that President Will son has won at the Paris Conference are due wholly to the appeal that his programme has made to the imag- | inatfon of the great mass of the peo- pie of Europe. Statesmen are follow ing him not because they like him | personally but because their people are following him and because they know that if they reject the Wilson programme they have nothing to su',- stitute for it that can satisfy public sentiment. It is their one bulwarlx against the Anarchist flood.
 It is only the more hopelessly reac- tionary element of Bourbons and Tories who regard the Presidents i peace proposals as a sort of half way house to Bolshevism. Having more brains than the Bourbons and Tories, the real Bolsheviki have per ceived from the outset that their real enemy was Wilsonism That is why they unhesitatingly chose German au- tocracy as an ally and why they have resisted the Presidents programme as bitterly as Junkertum itself.
 There is no common ground be- tween the Wilson theories of govert- ment and the Lenine theories, be- tween the Wilson kind of peace and the Lenine kind of peace. There can be no compromise between them, and soon or late even the Bourbons will have to make the choice that M. Lo- riot presented to the French Social ists. They will have to take Wilson or Lenine, because it so happens that Wilson and Lenine embody the great issue that civilization must meet and determine.
