n THE new Congress, which viii

there is very much to do A large
proportion of the work will have to take
the shape Of unraveling the twisted CON
fusion into which the Wilson Adminis-
tration has thrown almost every impor-
tant feature Of governmental policy. But
the Congress must not permit itself only
to DO this work. 1t must itself keep its eyes
on the future and begin to build for the
future. The great war has put us in a
new world. In this new world we must
resolutely cling to the old things that
were good, but we must also fearlesslv
adopt the new expedients imperative to
bring justice under the new conditions.
The farmer, the working man and
the business man are, of course, the
three people upon whose welfare the
welfare of all the rest of US and of the
country depends. The farmer
IS emphatically the producer He has
not had square deal. He has not been
put in the position to which he is en-
titled. If he is not given the right kind
of leadership he will follow the wrong
kind of leadership, and therefore it be-
hooves the Republican party in Congress
to get men competent to speak for the
farmer, and to make an earnest affirma-
tive effort to start this nation on
course of policy which will put the farm
ers of this nation on a level never else
where attained.
OF equal Importance with the farm
situation is the labor situation We must
never again permit the wageworker to be
looked upon primarily as a mere cog in
the industrial machine He must be

Kill The Milkman! =!

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There was once q dairyman who
sold milk at a loss, but the manure
which the cows gave greatly enriched his
arm. This enabled him to raise more
corn TO feed his cows and thus to obtain
more manure to put on his farm, which

thus to feed more cows the milk. how

A Word for the Birds

apparently when the spirit moves him. He
IS the greatest tree planter in all birddom.
During the warmer months The scores of
different woodpeckers, fnches, sparrows,
warblers and other pretty friends of the
human race were on their imperative job
They consumed billions of worms insects

We might speak of the nuthatches and
creepers and downy and hairy woodpeckers
the chickadees and the tufted titmice, all
of which spend every daylight hour in pro-
tecting our trees, but since many OF these
are also the farmers frisnds they should
be classified also with the tree sparrow,
goldfnch and junco.
The tree sparrows and juncos, particular

"7he Red Flag OF Glass War''
Socialism, Despite Its Obvious Qualities Creates Dangerous
Antagonin
By Professor Irving Fisher
President Of the American Economic Associatiou
Antagonisnl

TNHE great question is: Are (thc
economists to the nation as
a whole or are we to serve as a spe-
cial group?
There can be no objection to an indi-
vidual economist associating himself with
q special business and putting his talents
at its disposal, provided, of course, he
does so openly, and provided the business
IS legitimate; that is, provided his activ-
ties are not inconsistent with the general
welfare
Academic economists, from their very
oren mindedncss, apt to be carried off
unawares, by the bias of the community
IN which they live.
Economists whose social world is Wall
Street are very apt to take the Wall Street
point of view, while economists at state
universities situated in farming districts
are apt to be partisans of the agricultural
interests.
The economists Of a century ago were
unconscously writing from the STANDPOINT
OF the employer rather than from that of
the employe, shown by their refer
ences to labor an expense of production
To-day, on the contrary, as labor is in
creasing in power, we find many economists
are, consciously or unconsciously, takinc
the point Of view of the laborer. This
comes closer to being the Democratic hu-
laaritiSian, or public, point of view, but is
often in real antagonism to it,
Trade unionism, socialism and even Boil
shevism, syndicalism, of |. W. W-ism have
occasional champions or apologists among
economists. Socialism especially has en-
listed under its banner motley group Of
theorists eager for some realization Of
their humanitarian intentions. In a sense.
o. course, 1--WE are all Socialists nowadays" :"

Catalonia and Spain

While Spain is seeking to regain pos
session of Gibraltar she is threatened
with the loss of a much more important
part of her ancient domain. The Cata-
Ian question has disturbed Spanish
statesmen for the last thirty years al
most as much as the Irish question has
disturbed English and it seems now to
be even further from settlement than
ever. Indeed, the neutrality of the
Spanish government during the war has
helped to deepen the estrangement be-
tween Catalan and Spaniard. Catalonia
is preeminently a commercial province.
and the commercial interests of the
country have been generally pro-Ally
They have had great losses to bear, di-
rect and indirect, because of the opera
tions Of the German U-boats, and they
have resented extremely the Indifference
Of the government to their complaints.
Theirspride has been touched by humilia-
tons.
; The Cataans have always emphasized
/ ,hc differences between themselves and
the Castilians. They have language
and & literature of their own, and IN re-
cent years they have cultivated both
with perhaps somewhat artificial zeal.
Their present demand for autonomy
comes pretty close to being a demand
for independence. They would have a
I separate parliament and separate eX-
ocutve with sovereign powers over all
matters except the army and navy, the
I customs, the railways, the coinage and
international relations. This would put
The heavier part of the expense Of gov
ernment upon Spain as a whole, whilc
leaving Catalonia free to administer her
local concerns. That Spain would lose
weight in world politics in such circuln-
I stances is hardly to be doubted.
Indeed, other separatist tendencies
are at work in the nation The Basoues
are beginning to talk Of autonomy. too.
Bearing in mind the history Of Spain,
4 the difficulties which have existed ever
since the crowns Of CASTLE and Aragon
were united, the lack Of strong national
feeling among the Spaniards as a
whole, the disposition to regard the in
tcrests of the church, or the army, or
the land owners, or other restricted
classes, above those Of Spain herself, it
/ is easy to discover how real the danger
of such tendencies is. 1t is true, of
course, that Spain is country of great
commercial possibilities, not a few of
which have begun to be realized in re-
cent years But that unity of feeling

The Wise Squirrel
(Froni The Detroit Journql)


The early morning and late evening IN
spections of our coal bins furnish CRAFTY
ing confirmation of the open-winter predic-
ton made by the nut trees and the squirrels
three months ago.
But we would have felt much more CRATE
full had we been gifted with the wisdom
and sublime faith in Providence of the
squirrel.
While humans ran about in panic last
September and begged pteously for fuel,
visaging the pneumonia and frozen pipes
Of hard winter, the squirrel stood pat
and took vacation. He had straight tip
! from Nature that there would be an open
winter and that he needn't stock up on
nuts. So he saved himself the labor OF
Juggling them away one at a time and
climbing tree with them. Presumably
when there are an open winter and few nuts
the rodent has other supplies that can BE-
easily obtained.
