The premier in referring to the

Of the Sim Fein, said it was zone of
the most hopeful signs Of a new spirit
in Ireland"
THE message from Father O'Flana-
gan and a message from the Galway
council required great courage on the

NOT READY FOR PEACE
Those controlling the murder or
ganization in ireland are not ready for
peace and therefore the government
has decided upon a double policy"
said the premier.
we have no option but to continue

against a small but mighty organiza-
tion which constitutes desperate
minority"
"On the other hand. we have no op-
tion but to encourage every agency in
ireland which is really anxious for an
honor able settlement" the premier
added.

districts covered by martial law the
premier said that the death penalty

At the same time, continued the pre-
mier. the government is willing to ex-

The nomination shows more the
weakness of our nominating system,
the power in the hands of the poiti-

can be bamboozled, than the true
choice Of a man to head the list Of
Republican nominees for Office in the

it impossible to select the General.

Hoover or Mr.. Lowden. or even Mr.

cats are allowed to roam and sere-
made at will, unmuzzled and unham-
pered save by the occasional and in
effective barrage of a householder.
1t is not that we harbor any dislike
Of cats, we hasten to add. To the
contrary, cats seem to US to possess
points of their own which entitle
them to rank high up in the scale of
pets They are not dogs, and it is
absurd to expect them to possess dog
virtues. Perhaps they have no
virtues But they have beauty and
grace and fire and distinction, and
that is enough
The desire is not to exterminate
cats, but to treat them to the same
regulatory restraints as dogs. The
cat would benefit. This is the sea-
son of the year when the country
goers think it quite all right to close
up town house or apartment and
leave a cat or two Wailing around
the premises, homeless and adrift.
Some Of this carelessness is UP to
the cat temperament, which recks
little Of home lite and finds one
hearthstono very much like another.
But if licenses were demanded the
number of cats would be kept down
to those really wanted as permanent
pets. Why would not such re-
form be better for every onc-cats,
the heart of man and the eardrums
of our not quite six million sleepcrs?

woman

The Massachusetts Department of
Labor and Industry, through its
minimum wage division, has discov-
cred that the scrubwoman is disap-
pcaring. Office building managers
report that before prohibition set in
they had no difficulty in filing up
their scrubbing squads from among
the women who were forced to sup
port their families because their
husbands were drunkards. Now the
husbands are sober and their earn
ings cover the household needs, so
that it is no longer necessary for
the women to do such work.
No one, except it be the Office
building managers, will be sorry to
see that bedraggled, nocturnal army
discontinue its sloppy task for good.
1t is not a pleasant thing to know
that after the day is done, and the
last comfortable business man and
NlNA II t'A!N! oLciioSl a l'liNl nave Ut|ldLI-
ed for their homes, a company Of
worn and tired women viii swarm
through the offices and halls with
their pals and brushes 1t does not
take much imagination to realize that
these women, for the greater part,
have spent their days over the wash
tubs and ironing boards, even while
looking after their homes and chill
dren. Women, where necessity calls,
have capacity for endless labor, and
after working all day they can still
drag themselves out to the tall build
ings of downtown to sweep and scrub
a few hours more.
What is happening in Massachu-
setts must be happening elsewhere,
and if the scrubwoman is indeed
passing from our midst, then prohi-
bition scores another point.

The Soviet Failure

While the American Federation of
Labor at its Montreal convention was
opposing recognition Of Soviet Rus
sia upon the soundcst Of economic
and patriotic grounds there APP
peared in Saujet Russia, the official
organ in New York of the Soviet
government, striking confirmation Of
the industrial facts upon which
American labor based it's action.
The contribution is by Irotzky and
is translated from a Kiov publica-
ton called The Labor Week of the
date of April 10 last. 1t begins with
a recital of the facts of starvation
and cold. "The city workers suffer
hunger and cold, it is declared. Yet
there is "plcnty of bread and fucl'
in this vast and rich land" There
is IAN inexhaustible supply of labor
power What is the lack? 1t is
the organization Of work. which
Russia lacks, Trotzky declares.
How did this condition come about?
Trotzky proceeds to describe the
methods Of capitalism as he viewed
them. Employers had charge of
the means of production, they
squeezed profits out of labor, and
The workers, through "hunger and
habit worked. At any rate, "pro
duction went merrily on, Trotzky
comedies.
Then came communism. The fac
tories were taken away from the
capitalists and became the property
CT the working masses. SO the raw
material is present, the labor power
Is there, but there is not "tho new
organization Of labor, without capi-
talists, without masters, without the
foreman's lash" This must be CON
structed on "ncw comradelv, social,
socialistic foundations" How? "We
must start with the fundamcntals-
grain and fnel,' I'rotzky announces.
Then the workers win no longer suf-
fer hunger. But how start Russian
workers to working? Here is as
close as Trotzky gets to a definite

The Coming Man

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I note several letters in current
issues condemning the choice of Hard
ing; in fact, many go as far as stating
that their political faith is changed and
the opponents will get their vote. This
is very narrow minded view Of the
situation. The Executive branch of our
government is an institution to define
policies and act in an executive capac-
ity. The platform drawn up at Chicago
is masterpiece and demands the re-
spect of all. This should be supported
regardless Of personal element.
What is wrong with Harding? re-
fer you to the article in the March 90
issue of "The Literary Digest This
was written before he came into the
present limelight. 1t reads like clean
record of true gentleman, simple in
his living and straightforward in his
Americansm. The article goes on to
say, Colonel Roosevelt regarded him as
the coming man Of 1920' That indorse-
ment ought to be sufficient.

Everybody for himself is now in
applicable. The country can be saved
cold, starvation and epidemics only
through the utmost, uninterrupted
and truly heroic work of all its citi-
zens.
"This is the universal labor duty.
Every one is in duty bound to give
his knowledge, his power, and, f need
be, his life for the great entity which
we call Socialist Russia
1--WE must all become conscious. un-
scfsh master-builders of the social
list industrial life. This alone makes
it possible to dnd a way out Of the
difficulty; only therein lies saliva
ton; and this alone will enable US to
attain the commonwealth
That phrase ''inductcd into service"
has an ominous suggestion Of the
Lenine plan for the militarization Of
labor But from the rest of the
phraseology it seems as if Trotzky
was still clinging to the old idealism
Of communism. 1t has its pathetic
and beautiful sido--or would have if
all Russia was not starving as a re-
suit of it. The last paragraph holds
the meat of the idea: "U1c uist all
become conscious, unselfsh nlaster-
buildcrs Of the socialist industrial
hJo'
All, if Russians or any other peo-
pie could only become such altruistic
and masterful creatures Little need
would there be Of communism or any
other ISM in a nation composed Of
such supermen. The conception of
the great entity" is a magnificent
one. But where are such creatures
to be found OF to be made? While
they are lacking, communism fails
hopelessly for the very reason that
the whole communistic theory as
sumes as facts of human nature an
unsolfshncss that simply does not
exist and is not likely to exist within
any discernible period of time.
Meantime in other countries un-
der capitalism production goes
merrily on How long will it take
Russia to discover and digest this
fundamental fallacy upon which So
victism is founded and by which her
people are slowly starving and
dying?
