Flag Day

Cold and scholastic philosop-
hers sometimes argue that a
flag is only a textile fabric. Whv
then, they say, should twentieth
century people think that a ban
ner made up of red, while and
blue stars and stripes is any bet
ter than any other combination
of forms and colors?
Yet the fact remains that on
a battle field men fight with the
abandon of desperation to save
that red, white and blue bit of
cloth from trailing in the ground.
The flag stands for ones home
town, for dear friends one has
left behind, for all the tie of unity
that binds together the various
sections of a great and achieving
country.
The man from Texas and the
man from Maine are long way
apart in distance. Quite frequent
ly they disagree on political his
tory and economic philosophy
But let those two men get to-
gether in Germany or in Borneo
or Japan, and they find that they
think alike and that their inter-
ests are identical. They bow in
reverence to the same bit of red.
white and blue. They will stand
back to back and fight for it and
for their common interest.
And so as the years go on, the

interference with food supplies

does not prove that he can lug in

Tieing up the. Newspapers

One of the features of the
widespread strike in Canada has
been the threat to tie up the pub
LEGATION of newspapers. One of
the labor leaders announced that
"There will be no more news
papers until we decide to let them
appear
While the newspapers have
been coming out under difficult
ties at Winnipeg, yet the strike
committee announced that the
newspapers could not be publish
ed with any union assistance.
Many labor leaders are express
ing hostility to the newspapers,
on the ground that they have not
been friendly to the unions.
The public demands the un-
hampered publication of news
papers, as the principal means
of public discussion and infor-
nation. 1t is only through the
newspapers that the people can
form a just judgment of events.
When any element prevents or
hampers such publication, it inn
pedes the public in it's effort to
obtain a fair settlement of contro
versies.
1t is far better policy for the
labor unions to make no effort to
tie up newspaper plants. In this
way they make it appear that
they favor free discussion, and
want the public to have all the
information it can get. Otherwise
they give an impression of dicta-
torship and suppression of free
government that will greatly
hurt their cause.
The unions have gone to
lengths in this Canadian strike
that will alarm many in this
country that sympathize in
general way with their cause.
The cutting off of the supplies of
milk and bread at Winnipeg was
an effort to starve the public in
to submission that might go in
countries like Germany or Rus
STA, but not in America. The
order to that effect was soon

Speaking before over four hundred
Colgate alumni and undergraduates OF
New York and vicinity last evening at
the annual football smoker rendered to
