notes worth . little Qes than the
paper they were written on.
Jewish men and women invited
TO vete for the League Of Nations
IN the name Of humanity" are
asked by q writer who has more
than once endeavored TO present
fairly their side Of public ques-
tions to remember that when they
vote for Mr.. Cox and the League
Of Nations they are voting for q
PROGRAM of determination against
the Jews. Jews are murdered now
with weapons supplied to Poland's
soldiers BY this country, in the
name Of the League. To vote for
Cox and the League is to vote for
moro pogroms-
Look out for interesting events
when Congress begins TO work in
tho fall. Senator Harding, who
will be elected President by that
time, will be sitting in the Senate
waiting for March 4 to come
around.
And the people will find out how
much, IL any, power remains with
Congress and the people, whether
one hundred per cent or only
ninety mine per cent Of national
power has been transferrd to the
President since the war began.
You have read Of the Presidents
action in connection with the ship
ping act. He says he signed it in
q hurry, and now he annuls it.
The people are particularly inter-
ested because the act Of the Presi-
dent is based on the wishes of for
eign nations. They object to the
Congress Of this country doing as
it chooses about "discriminatory
tonnage dues and discriminatory
customs duties on imports" They,
the foreign nations, wish to decide
for US. s
The Presidents action causes the
4 people to take an even more deep
and earnest interest in the state OF
his health.
M. Deschanel, President of
France, retired because Of an in
disposition triviG as compared
with that Of Pr ssident Wilson.
Deschanel was never paralyzed,
never unable to stand or walk.
The people feel that the President
Is doing himself an injustice by
taking upon himself labors, au-
thority and decisions not warrant
ed by the condition Of his health.
The curious fact is that appar-
emily the people have no power to
express their 7solicitude effectively,
no power to protect the President
against overwork, and no power to
protect the country or its legisla-
tors against actions land decisions
based on warping Illness, should
the Presidents ill-health at any
time become aggravated.
It is q new situation and may de-
velop in interesting fashion be-
tween now and the 4th Of March.
Julius Rosenwald, no pessimist,
able business man, sees danger of
losses on accumulated stock OF
merchandise and more. or less
losses on accumulated stocks OF
classes"
Loss of merchandise bought at
high prices may be inevitable. II
the people haven't money to buy,
they cannot buy.
al
mon know why the people haven't
the money. Under this Govern
ment q choice assortment OF
thieves and profiteers have been
allowed to steal the money In
wagon loads.
When woman must pay
twenty-five or thirty cents for
sugar, which she absolutely must
have for her children, she hasn't
money to buy dresses or carpets.
When a building trust is per-
mitted to carry on a criminal con-
spiracy unmolested by the most
stupid, incompetent Government
that any nation ever had, it nat
urally puts the price Of building
materials beyond reach, home
building stops and tenants are at
the mercy OF profteering land
lords.
When you double mans rent
you cut his power to buy.
Business men with merchan-
disc for sale must suffer. even
though they be dealing honorably.
IL is no secret that many legiti-
mate enterprises, including the
biggest stores. are operating now
at no profit or a minimum Of
proft.
Such a condition Ia not cause
for wonder. Government, reck-
Isssly taxing and recklessly
sauandering, has been draining
the country OF its ready cash.
Il made conditions worse by en-
couraging the Federal Reserve
Bank in usury. not only permit
ting. but advising, interest charges
of seven per cent and higher,
which means the death OF indus
trv and lack OF employment.
