No Sugar Profiteering!

(NGW DIX COI1IuSlcldl) 81,
The Government has been taught a
lesson it should not soon forget, in its
blunder in hearkening to the advice
of Professor Taussig against buying
the Cuban sugar crop when it was to
be had at cents pound lower than
must be paid for it now. This blum
der was emphasized by Senator
Pomerene in the debate on the bill to
extend the Sugar Equalization Board
and to authorize the purchase of the
1920 Cuban sugar crop for home con-
sumption. What purpose the pro-
fessional economist had in his atti-
tude is not clear, and the marvel of it
is that the board was swayed by
TauSsig.
Apparently Senator McNary's bill
falls short of that which he doubtless
seeks to accomplish. One of those
who criticised the measure on the
floor was Senator Harrison. of Mis-
sissippi, who argued that the bill did
not go far enough, in that. as he un-
derstands it, there is no guarantee to
the public of an adequate sugar sup
ply at a reasonable price. Mr.. Har-
rison said he was entirely out or sym =
pathy with the Louisiana sugar men
who say they must have II cents for
their product, He gave cue to the
Department of Justice when Nhe said
he hoped that branch would place in
Jail sugar profiteers in his state who
have been charging as high as q
cents to consumers. Something is
radically wrong along this line, for
there can be no reasonable excuse for
such charges as Senator Harrison
condemns. That Mississippi is not
alone in the complaint the Senator
makes is quite evident, in view Of the
fact that we have been informed OF
sugar sold at 25 cents in Hoboken
and as high as % cents in Brooklyn

Playing Polite. with the Navy.

Playing Politics with the Navy.
Someone is engaged in what is
commonly termed playing politics.
with the navy. and the inference is
that the guilty parties are not to be
found among those who risked their
lives in the conflict. In this connec-
tion one is reminded that most post
war as well az pre-war troubles are
instigated by non -combatants who
never, smelled powder, even. .whin
Of mustard gas. In this instance q
man is revealed with the courage to
deal with the situation the same gen
tleman. Admiral Sims. who when the
British asked him how soon he could
have his ships in readiness after
crossing the big pond announced that
AAy were ready then-and they
were!
In his letter to Secretary Daniels
declining the distinguished service
medal under the arrangement made
by. Daniels he makes emphatic state
ments. in the light Of which it is easy
to understand the uneasiness dis
played BY the secretary. Here is a
sample:
Not only were the recommends
tions not complied with but-and this
is the gist of the matter-a number
of. officers in the command whose
services were relatively of less i'm
portance and much less In response
bility were accorded the highest
awards"
In connection. with this blow
straight from the shoulder it is re-
vealed that the secretary by. re-
arranging the awards was able to
confer one on his brother law and
another on one of his aides: further
more it appears each of these re-
cipients lost his vessel in combat
something for which no blame is at
tached but for which there appears
to be no occasion for cohferrins
medals. -.. ....
One by one members of the cabi-
net have been tripping before the
footlights in demeanor apparently
unconscious of the approaching
presidential election. But the portly
and unctuous Secretary of the Navy
is dragged in with his makeup very
much awry; indeed that bounteous
aplomb for which he is noted seems
to have deserted him and he is said
to have stammered in a stage-struck
| way that the awards were not all
made. This is all the more notice
able because Of the usual facility dis
played by Josephus in selecting the
psychological moment. He deserve.
what he is getting. but what about
the navy?

Do We Need More Insane Asylums

IeSCOluJ
I'VE must mercilessly destroy all
remains of governmental authority
and class domination. liberating the
prisoners demolishing prisons and
police offices, destroy all legal paper
pertaining to private ownership of
property; all field fences and bounda-
ries, and burn all certificates of in
debtedness-in a word. we must take
care that everything is wiped from
the earth that is a reminder of the
right to private ownership of prop
erty; to blow up barracks, gendarme
and police administration, shoot the
most prominent military and police
officers, must be the important con-
cern of the revolving working people.
From q manifesto issued in New York
by the Federation of Unions OF Rus
sian Workers of the United States
, and Canada.
There are vast domains still in the
world where the status these persons
advocate exists and has existed for
centuries. But there are no cities
there, no churches, no moving pic
lures no factories belching forth their
riches, no automobiles, no houses, no
bathtubs, no forks, no spoons
| naught but the abysmal desolation
! which is the handmaidcn Of barbar-
| ism.
Humanity has spent some thou
! sands of years in a stupendous
struggle to get away from the exact
conditions which these Russian de-
structionists visualize to the discon-
tented as an economic paradise.
If sheer asininity of this sort is
winning converts to the standards OF
anarchy, what this country plainly
needs are more insane asylums. Only
his kin attempt to reason with a
jackass. ~

Merry Christmas. one and all.
Meditations.

On earth peace, good will toward
men.
The song of the heavenly multitude
is not obsolete, neither is it become
a hollow mockery. 1t vibrates with
the 10y and love of God for his chill
dren as it did two thousand years
ago-if his children will hear it.
8 We are being spoiled, we were be-
ing spoiled when the clouds OF war
fell on US five years ago. Too much
had been done for us. we were living
too soft lives, we were growing to be
useless bores to ourselves and to
each other. Too few of us, the world
over, were doing real things. We
were all looking for short cuts to
ease. and we were amazingly success
ful in finding them.
In the stress Of war we learned how
to really live and suffer, and
we worked. 1t is one Of the eternal
mysteries that only by suffering is
man made perfect. Europe will rise
out of her ashes some day greater and
stronger than before.
To the United States the war was
in comparison only an exasperating
disturbance. We did not begin to
touch the depths of it or to feel the
fires of it's wrath. We are not chas-
tened and we have not learned the
lessons of it as Europe has. If we
nad, we would not have presented to
ahe world the sorry spectacle Of mud
aled politics affecting the peace
treaty; we would not be scheming and
iockeying to increase our overflow
ing Golfers out Of Europe's necessity;
we would not be undergoing the mad
reaction of dizzy extravaganza and
hysterical pleasure seeking that i.
without equal in our history.
We are impatient and we fret. just
like spoiled children. that things dt
not instantly return to the way the,
were before the war. We argue thai
we were noble, magnificent. in wal
service, and we were-some of us
But we think We should receive larg'
amounts of back pay in ease, pleas
ure and recreation that we are SURF

trying to collect them. while Europe
shivers and the angels sing.
Is it a wonder that people arr
tempted to call the words mockery
We ourselves make the mockery
God works as he wills, and often i
seems that he has ceased to care, bu
we cannot see things in the per
spective Of eternity. If we could w
would not be human, yet we woul'
cease to be petulant.
Peace on earth. good will towar'
men Is attainable through the com
bined efforts Of all Of US. God is II

eternal things are sure and may b.

We hear much about the inability
of Europe to buy necessities of life in

some are willing to help her forget

Help and Wait

Attorney General Palmer announ-
ces that he has prices under control
and If all good people will take hold
and help he will reduce them. There
is nothing to do but comply in so far
as possible and to await definite in
structions how to proceed. 1t should
have been clear to all that extrava-
gance ought to be avoided, without
awaiting instructions from high
authority. Be that as it, may. the
advice is good and should be needed.
We had supposed that when prices
had been reduced the average mortal
would be able to discover some trace
of it at the stores. Have you found
any indication to corroborate the
statement Of Mr. Palmer that cloth
ing prices have been reduced from
five to fifty Per cent? 1t may be nee
essary to exaggerate but in the pres
ent mood Of the people he would

miners returned to work. Now many
questions are being asked and from
information 50 far obtained it is very
doubtful whether that so-called set
tlement be creditable one. The op-
orators say they did not agree to it
and Palmer says they knew about it
but made no objections until after
they had got the miners back at
work. You see some one is in the
wrong. perhaps all Of the parties con-
cerned. OF that latter conclusion
confirmation may be found in an In

would be a confirmation indeed.
