ScANDlNAvlANS THINK BRITAIN
WILL HOG RUSSIAN TRADE

London.-That Great Britain means
to establish trade monopoly with
soviet Russia at the same time she is
carrying on war against her by means
of her fleet and the Polish armies is
the conviction of the Scandinavian
countries. declares George Lansbury,
editor of The London Daily Herald,
who has just been to Scandinavia.
"All the Danish and Scandinavian
people welcomed the raising Of the
blockade, hut since then they have dis
covered that it is still Impossible to do
business with Russia. and that the
allies are using the British fleet and
Polish armies to continue war against
Russia" he said. consequently, the
view is gaining ground that Great
Britain alone among the powers will
be permitted to trade with Russia, and
that at the same time she will carry
on war with that country. No one
believes here that the British fleet
has gone to protect people against the
soviets, or that the Poles are defend
ing Poland. 1t is we'll understood here
that the soviets are on the defensive
and that their one desire Is peace with
their neighbours"

DO INVENTIONS

A scientist Of established reputation
announces plan for using earth's
magnetism to prevent decay Of food.
The invention will make it possible to
transport fresh vegetables without de-
cay and without use of ice.
AT least one billion Of annual
waste will be prevented"
lnasmuch as We live on a great mag
net, the earth. it was about time for
somebody to use the power locked up
In our great driving wheel.
But the ordinary man will not profit
to any great extent by the proposed
saving Of billion dollars or ten bill
lion dollars. When new wealth Is Gre
ated or money saved, the additional
profit goes to those that understand
GETTING profit.
Sewing machines, machinery for
making cotton goods, steam engines in
place of horses, electric light in place
Of whale Oil-all such things ought to
make life cheaper for the mass. But
they don't.
The crowd doesn't think, the indi-
vidual does, and the individual or
small class gets profit. The working
crowd gets just enough to keep alive
and go on working.
1t is all part Of the wisdom of
Providence. What the world needs is

wards call forth intense productive Of.

WASHINGTON LETTER
SACRIFICE SALE OF SHIPS PLANNED
BY JONES BILL, PASSED BY SENATE

Washington, D. Gin the precon.
vention rush Of business in congress
the Jones bill has just passed the sen.
ate.
It proposes to see the $4,000, 900,
600 worth Of AFOREMENTIONED mer.
chant ships at a sacrifice sale.
Senator Nugent of Idaho, who
made a stubborn fight against mos,
Of the provisions of the measure, de.
clared that it was evident that it was
intended that the buyers should get
the ships at about $4,000, 00O, 600
which would mean a loss to the gov
eminent Of $1,000,0OO.O00 on the
transaction.
He read an official report showing
that these ships are running at q
profit of $l6G,O00,OOO, when the in
Vestment on the investment and the
depreciation was not figured.
He attacked clause after clause
throughout the measure, showing that
it was worse even than the Esch-
Cummins transportation act, and that
it was built on the principle that all
losses must he paid by the govern
ment and all profits turned over to
private spectators.
PANAMA LINE SAVED
One small items was saved from
the deliberate scuttling of govern
ment merchant marine shipping. The
eight or ten steamships which arc
now being operated by the Panama
Railroad company, which is owned by
the government, are not to be turned
over to the tender mercies of the
shipping board, as was demanded by
an amendment offered by Senator CAL
der Of New York.
1t was shown that the Panama
steamship line run by Uncle Sam
has for many years been carrying
the governments freight from New
York to the ISthmus at rates far be-
low the commercial rate, and that it
has carried commercial freight 50
chcapy that the rival lines have lost
the business. Now the Panama line
is starting to send it's ships to few
Caribbean ports, including those of
Venezuela. in order to balance the
northward traffic, and the private
fruit carrying monopoly has uttered
a loud howl Of alarm.
Senator Jones of Washington, in
charge Of the bill, stood with Nugent
and Fletcher and others against Cal
der'S proposal that the government
owned Panama line be forced to stop
operating so successfully. However,
he and the overwhelming majority of
the senate voted, by adopting the
shipping bill, to prevent any more ex-
perimentS in reduction of freight costs
by the public-ownerShip method.

He argued that the Russian people
have shown that they prefer the "op-
pressive" government Of the Lenine
regime to that Of the Gears, and that
they seem unwilling to take one step
back to the old SYSTEM" for which he
could not blame them.
