The international Labor Congress, of the
League Of Nations kindly offers to the United States hs
seat of one delegate the Labor
Commission"
You observe that Mr., Gompers who is for the League
of Nations where the United States whole concerned
expressed firmly his determination to have nothing TO
do with the goings Of foreign labor unions.
He has said plainly what he thinks of labor movements
in England and elsewhere in Europe
~ European labor leaders are not to rule Mr. Gompers
American Federation Of Labor Wise Mr. Gompers ne knows
American union labor and should look after itself
That is how the average citizen feels about the United
States general What good for American labor also
good for the United States. ;..s
DR.. Eliot once president of Harvard, asks
which leaders are majority of American voters going to
foow-the heirs of President Wilson's policy the Re-
publican leaders who have kept the United States out Of
the League?
To that question Dr. Eliot will get about three weeks
a most definite answer
Dr. Eliot advises Republicans forget party for the
League"
They will not do that neither will they forget the
United States of America for the League
Thoroughbred yearlings have gone up in
England The record average of $4,000 head The
latest sale averaged head One yearlng colt sold
for $7OOOO breaking all yearing records in England
This interests you family when you figure qpt your
income other This country lent five thousand
interest," which would be two hundred and fifty millions
year You and other Americans with taxes make the
two hundred and fifty millions and England money
put the price of thoroughbred yearold racing ma
chimes up to $4,000
Fasten the League of Nations on this coun-
try make the taxpayers of America permanently the
angels and financial easy marks Of Europe and the price
of thoroughbred yearlngs in England might go still higher
You might think that country where Lord Glanely
could afford $4,000 for colt and where the Government
can afford twenty millions apiece and for battle
ships could also afford to pay interest its debt but it
seems not ' .,..
Was your heart touched in some great patri-
otc "drive;' did you perhaps say 'well stand
little giving and did you contribute to the Near

children" and other children dying?
If you interested in the fine dinner parties given
'to high officials Of the Allies at which the Near East
Relief money spent There Russian singers and
Russian dancers to make the dinner cheerful There
present the dinners however far is known any
starved Armenian children.
In connection with this particular charitable affair six
Americans locked up How many do you suppose would
be locked up it possible identify and punish all
the swndlng wasting stealing and general rascay that
went in the of sweet charity and 'pure patri
otsm?
Lord Morley, an influential thinking English
man. Asquth, former prime minister and Lord Grey
working for better conditions in Ireland and hope for
final settlement
Intelligent Englishmen know that you rule white
you rule brown and yellow From the trouble
in Ireland the slow death of Mayor McSwney and other
incidents you learn that white intend to be free they
must prove that they MEAN it,
Because they have FOUGHT for seven hundred years
the Irish will be free eventually Seven thousand years of
peaceful discussion submission would not have done that
for them.
