The deportees, Of course, have

their reluctance to leave thus:

Rep.) applauds the victory and con-
ceives that real check has been ad-
ministered to the monopolistic con-
troll of the American food market.
1t discusses the whole problem and
it's relation to socialism as follows:
True, great service to society
may have been performed through the
economies made possible by the eff
cheney Of large-scale management. The
story of the profitable utilization of the
by-products of food animals by the
concentrated packing industry reads
like romance. The humorous saying
that everything in pig was now made
an article Of commerce except the
squeal had basis in reality Tho won
derful elimination OF waste has been
one Of the remarkable achievements
and services Of this industry.
"Yet, if the food we eat, the soap
we use, the leather we wear and
numerous other necessaries of every
day life are to be under the control of
a few private industrial magnates on
a tremendous scale, without effective
competition, why should we any longer
regard the industrial organization as
free or as consistent with individual
initiative and liberty? Why damn so
cialism and chase its propagandists
into the next town if We must live
anyhow under form of socialism pri-
vately conducted for private profit?

A typical expression Of Demo

type is the following from THE Phil

This frame Of mind, as shown in
the House Of Representatives by its
unanimous passing Of the deporta-
ton bill, meets with praise from al
most the entire country. "The Prov

Pittsburgh Gazette Times" (Rep.)
and 1.-The New York Times"
(Dem.} agree that the situation

ming of actual deportation will ex-
plain the previous "inexcusable de-
lay" and asks for light on the sus-
picion that the government has been
harboring people Of radical sympa-
thies. "The time is opportune FOX
the President to uncover what the
Department Of Labor would keep
secret" "The Philadelphia In

'The New York World" which

gent sedition laws, approves Of this
