REPUBLIC TRUCKS
POPULAR ABROAD

One hears on every hand the report
that Cancelled war contracts have
made 1t necessary for many industries
to scramble for business, but It is
just as true that peace is bringing
many trade opportunities to take the
place OF those that were closed when
Mars laid aside his armor.
One OF the results OF the termina-
ton Of hostilities has been an in
creased demand for motor trucks in
foreign countries, IL one can Judge
from the RECEIPT experiences OF Re-
public Motor Truck Company. Inc. Of
Alma, Mich.
This firms foreign business has for
years been OF considerable volume and
has constantly shown a steady in
crease. From June 80, 1917. to July
i, 1918. Republic trucks comSriszd
more than 10 per cent of all the eN-
| port truck business originating in tire
United States. During this Same
period, "a per cent Of all the trucks
shipped from the United States -
Australia were Republics and % Der
cent OF those going to Cuba were OF
the same make. In the last few
months, however. the export business
has been growing by leaps and
bounds.
One days cable orders recently in
cluded fifty trucks for Tokyo. ten !or
Calcutta, two for Porto Rico, and
enc for HOngkong. Many OF the
trucks which went to Japan on this
order are to be put into service by
the Tokyo Omnibus Company, Ltd.
which already has sixty Republics in
the passenger bus service. where
they have proved very efficient and
economical It Is q noteworthy fact
that passenger bus service in all for
eign countries is growing very rap
IDLY and is being developed TO a point
little realized by the average Ameri-.
can.
Every month since the signing of
the Armistice has shown a noticeable
increase in Republics export business.
and II is believed that foreign trade
possibilities are on the eve Of a lie
velopment that will dwarf by com
pariBon all that has so far been ac-
complished in this field.

GOVERNMENT MAY KEEP
UP INSURANCE PREMIUMS
Bill Now Before Congress Would Pay
War Risk Insurance for Two
Years

Enlisted men honorably discharged
from their service in the army dur
ing the war with Germany will have
their premiums on policies of war risk
insurance taken out by them paid by
the government for two years from
the date of such discharge, in order
that they may keep up their policies
and at the same time readjust them
selves to the new conditions follow
ing the war, if a bill introduced by
Representative Roscoe McCulloch, of
Ohio, is enacted into law.
McCulloch, d republican, has be-
come one of the most pronounced ad-
vocates in congress of the rights of
the private soldier and has for months
been insisting that the war depart
ment should bring them home as soon
as possible. In the house last jan
uary he sought to fix a definite date
for bringing home all of the soldiers
of the American expeditionary forces.
He has urged repeatedly that all the
conscripted men should be discharged
from the service before any effort is
made to provide in the future for any
large standing army

six years, disposed of his business the
past week to Messrs. Jean and F. W.
Haskins, who took possession July

about six years ago, since which time
he has been on the coast. He is thor

LUMBER MILLS REFUSING OR.
DERS

Producers of west coast lumber are
over-sold. Orders have exceeded pro-
duction for the past two months. Mill
stocks are depleted Physical condi-
tions of manufacturing properties
fnecessitate such extensive repairs
during July and August that heavily
restricted immediate production is
certain.
Notwithstanding the heavy volume
of business booked and offering, the
industry, as a whole, is not prosper
Gus. Costs, held somewhat in check
on a high level, thru governmental
regulation during war times, are again
showing disposition to pyramid.
The composite cost statement of for
ty-three representative mills for the
month of April shows that the pro-
duction of thousand feet of lumber
cost $21.54. The composite sales re-
port of the same mills indicate a re-
turn of S20.68 per thousand feet, or
considering the bulk of the industry
loss of eighty-siX cents on every
thousand feet of lumber manufac-
tured during the month of April.
The condition of the lumber indus
! try shows that there is no likelyhood
of cheaper lumber in the near future
Steel has advanced and copper is ad-
Ivancing. The man who now holds uT
building operations awaiting a droF
| in prices, has a long wait ahead.

LEAGUE IS UNAMERICAN
SAY LABOR DELEGATES
Article X Vigorously Attacked BY
Them as Helping to Subvert Our
Industrial Civilization

Atlantic City July 3-Opposition
to Article X of the league of nations
covenant adopted by the peace con-
ference at Versailles was voiced here
by representatives of the American
Federation of Labor on the ground
that it upholds in perpetuity the
boundaries of all empires and is there
fore subsersive of human liberty and
is contrary to the motto of an organ
ization which comprises 3,500,000
workers: "our field, the world; our
cause, humanity"
Resolutions of the Central FEEDER
ated Union of Greater New York
called attention to the fact that the
workers "are unalterably opposed to
Article X of the league of nations
covenant, because it recognizes the
right of conquest and is contrary to
the principles of liberty on which the
republic was founded. 1t commits the
United States to aid empires built up
and held together by military force
in the holding down of subject peo-
pies who have right to their own
freedom and to decide on the form
and character of their government,
and would therefore be violation of
the American constitution and of the
Declaration of Independence. We
there fore instruct our delegate to the
annual convention of the American
Federation of Labor to vote in accord
ance with this resolution"
1t was pointed out by Thos. Rock
of the PAYERS union, that this clause
is not designed to protect the new re-
publics of Poland, Finland and Czech
oslovakia, but "would bind this great
republic, hitherto the beacon of liberty
to the oppressed, to lend its mighty
force to crush the struggle toward
liberty of other peoples, as much en-
titled to it as Poles, Firms and Czech
oslovaks, and to sustain great en-
pires, notably England and Japan, in
their existing territorial integrity.
Under the direction of the council of
the league, composed of one Asiatic,
seven Europeans and only one Amer
ican, this republic, as member of
the league, would be called on to aid
the only two remaining empires on
earth to crush liberty in Ireland and
Korea, India and China, Egypt and
South Africa. Should Canada or Aus
tralia seek to take the final step on
the road of liberty, we should have to
help maintain the integrity of the
British Empire. Our boys-your boys
would be sent to kill and to die, not
as soldiers of freedom, but as mercen-
aries of tyranny in far off lands.
This would work against such terri
torial aggression as that of France in
the American revolution and that of
the United States against Spain in
the war which freed the possessions
of that former empire from its tyr
amy"
