BUSINESS HAS NO PATRIOTISM.

The prices of metals fixed by our government
fell to their natural level when the armlstlce
was signed. But the guaranteed pr1ce OF wheat
still holds the prices OF other foodstu11s up.
Our food production this year greatly exceeds
that of last year, yet food prices are higher, pc
cause we are sending more than our surplus
abroad. We have brought two million soldiers
home from Europe, yet we sent twice as much
food across the sea last June as we did year
ago The reason appears to be that our export
ers seek to take advantage of the higher prices
prevailing over there They can make more
money by selling food abroad than by selling 1t
at home AS for the price OF shoes, leather
used as uppers on the cheaper shoes for women
sold for sixty cents foot before the armlstlce
was signed Then the president removed the
embargo on leather and certain other staples
with result that in three months ending July
thirtieth twenty-five million dollars worth OF
leather was shipped to England Is 1t to DC

SELLS for one dollar and twenty-four cents a

goods and we shall go without. # more could
be made by selling them here they would be
sold here. Business has no patriotism, no con-
science in such matters. Price and profits con-
troll. Undoubtedly we should send Europe our
surplus; but can we be said to have any surplus

that only moral obligations are imposed. That

It's strike, strike, strike.

And strike, strike strike,
For cheese or decimal beer;
I'm lover of justice and peace,
But, whoever may happen to win,
stand no show; what I'd like to know
Is, Where do come in?
It's strike, strike, strike,
From window cleaner to clerk;
And strike, strike, strike,
With never a thought of work:
I'm strong for order and law,
But have nothing to say,
For first and last am dashed to the mast
Whoever may win, l pay.
