PRIVATE PROPERTY AND
 PROGRESS.

h the daily news budget are two items that have a kinship in interest and practically an interlocking sig nificance, says the Commercia1-A Ap- peal. One of these concerns the do- ings of the national convention of the socialist party, and the other has to do with the workings of com munism in Russia. In one of these Ssories we are told how the delegates to the socialist meeting gathered to- gether while the hymn of Free Rus sia'' was being sung, and in the other we are presented in figures the pie kure of economic and industrial con- ditions in this free Russia"
 Of course we do not mean to say that the principles of socialism and the principles of communism are the same, but when applied by radicals it would be difficult to discriminate be- tween their effects. Specialization of industry is not the same as communi- zation of industry, but both arc de- structive of the incentive to progress and development that the possession of private property gives. The story of Russia is told by the men who are responsible for present conditions there and therefore it should not be unfair to themselves. One, of these, A. Rykov, chairman of the supreme council of national economy, asserts .Sthat nearly the whole industry has been transformed to the state and that the industry of private owners and manufacturers has been done away with"
 What effect the destruction of pri- vate property has had we will leave it to Rykov himself to say. Before the Lenine- Trotzky regime there were 4,0OO manufacturing plants un' der private ownership. All of these have since been nationalized, and concerning this, let us hear what By ::akov has to say:
 "Of these 4,OOO establishments 2,00o
 
 are working at present. All the rest s>Are closed and idle. The number o1 workers by a rough estimate is about 1000, ,OOO, so that in point of num- bers of workingmen employed and III point of working establishments the manufacturing industry is in the throes of crisis.'
 More detailed and more discourag- ing in his report that the nationalized metallurgical plants have been able to meet but 15 per cent of the needs of the state; that locomotive works have been able to turn out but 40 per cent of the normal output, and that general machinery production is but 30 per cent of what it was previous to naturalization. He asserts that Russia is living on the supplies left over from pre-communistic times; that this is rapidly being exhausted, and that the final crisis can not be delayed much longer.
 Theoretical soeialists, of course, will tell you that they are not Rus sian communists while they insist up on the overthrow of industry. If there have been and still remain some abuses under the present system what are they to compare with the evils that now afflict Russia? Russia has swappcd private property for public disaster, and, in the long run, this is just what socialism will mean.

DR.. Bevan, the celebrated Chicago
surgeon, president OF the American
Medical Association replying to
question pronounces the presidents

though his paralysis may disappear
the diseased condition of the arteries
of the brain is permanent and dis
abling for the duties of his office. DR.,
Bevan, speaking as medical author
sumo the work OF president. points
out that he would he rejected by med
ical examiners and concludes, dis
claiming al bias and craftsmanship
that In justice to himself and TO the
country Mr.. Wilson would do well to
retire: that is what Bevan's conclu-
sion amounts to.
When DR.. Young made the state
ment that the president had been suf-
fering paralysis from throHbus or
blood clot in the brain ii was the
hrst authentic public statement OF
the character OF his. trouble given
out. The statement Of the Baltimore
doctor supported and corroborated
the rumor which had been current
among physicians that his trouble
was brain hsmorage.
1t would have been better to have
told the public the truth from the be-
ginning and thru the months of incap
acity instead OF thos assurances
which came from the guarded bedside
that a nervous breakdown was rapid
ly being overcome. The truth would
have explained much that has been
attributed, not to weakness and inca,p-
trtbuted, not 20 weakness and incap-
acity, but which it seems might have
been so explained.

That financial movements have
also had something more than
sentimental influence in mercantile
and industrial channels, there is ac-
cumulating evidence, and a condi-
ton is developing where sellers no
longer dominate about all markets,
and buyers nearly everywhere COM
pete sharply for available supplies Of
raw materials and manufactured
products. ...
Altho demands in some important
lines. an in iron and steel, disclose
little, If any, abatement, yet IN nu-
nervous instances a policy of waiting
has made it's temperance, and an
rundercurrent of caution is plainly
discernible even in those branches
where activities are undated. More
than any other single element, the
expectation that foreign exchange
conditions will ultimately force a
widespread lowering Of commodity
prices in this country explains the
present disposition in many direc-
tons TO limit engagements to we'll
defined requirements. and the tend
ency among not a few dealers to
avoid oyerstocking with high priced
merchandise.
That the main course OF prices
has recently been downward, Dnn's
list OF whc!t sale quotations has DEM
onstrated: hut predictions that
general decline is imminent may
prove to be premature, and some
