The British food minister is frank
to say that the food situation is not
one that supports optimism; that the
imports Of wheat from America
would be less than last year by four
million tons and midas increased
wheat tonnage would not be avail
able for export; that butter was
about half the prewar amount, that
the world production of sugar had
decreased three and a half million
tons; in other words the worlds food
shortage has not improved.

A Word to Business Men.

(Forbes Magazine)
Fifteen years ago. large employers
in this country were oftentimes just
as arrogant and inconsiderate as
any class of workers is today. Cor
ruption of lawmakers. corruption Of
transportation companies, corrup-
ton of civic officials was rife. Work.
men were treated more like pieces OF
machinery than human beings made
after the image of God. They were
hired and fired heartlessly. No
serious efforts were made to provide
steady employment. Wages were
held down. Even the decentest OF
trade unions were fought and
thwarted. Legislation was engi-
neered favorable to capital. Big
Business was in the saddle and with
a high head and a high hand rode a
high horse.
Some Of US even then foresaw
that capital. by its selfshness. its
autocracy and its unfairness, was
laying up for itself not peck but a
whole world of trouble. You are
pulling the pendulum mercilessly
far in your own direction: some
day labor, when it gains the power.
will pull the pendulum even a little
farther in its own direction" way the
warning given unscrupuluous capt.
talists and corporations.
Labor in due course did seize hold
of the pendulum and, as we have all
found TO our cost, has not hesitated
to pull it overfar in its own direc-
ton, regardless of the consequences
to the rest OF the people.
The opportunity is now coming for
bringing the pendulum back to nor
NAL Capital was rounded up when
it went too far. Labor leaders who
have now gone too far are now be-
ginning to be rounded up. 1t is for
every honest, law -abiding. peace
loving citizen to play his part hon.
orably and energetically in seeking
to bring about equitable conditions
all round.

"A ssIf.sevsrnsd people will never
permit dsspetism in any government
which they foster and defend"
Wilson and Mr.. Wilson

Whittier are we drifting Govern
ment departments are going round in
circles. Now and again they turn
and bump square into each other.
And then some one of them goes off
on a tangent. Is there any way TO
prevent the innocent bystander from
meeting his usual fate?
For some time the prosecution of
radicals has not been resulting in
the number of deportations that the
outbursts credited to them would
seem to warrant And hints have
been dropped that the prosecutions
were either fakes in themselves or
that they were nullified by somebody
higher up. Secretary of Labor Will
son has given the whole thing away
by his ruling that membership in the
communist labor party which advo-
Gates control of government by the
workers" and implies. if it does not
express, its approval of the use Of
force and violence to attain that OBJ
jcct, is not sufficient ground for depor-
tation Force and violence in turn i'm
ply revolution. defense and bloodshed,
but these thin,-s do not seem to Sec
rotary Wilson sufficient reason for
segregating those who stand for them
from peaceful and peace loving citi-
zens whose only offense is loyalty to
their government. He is still Taboo
ing the communist party up to the
hour of going to press. but has set the
seal of his authority. which appears
to be final. on the communist labor
ties and the esteemed l. W. VS.. He
claims that there is a vast differ
ence between the platforms of the
communist and the communist labor
parties.
Suppose for the sake Of the argu-
ment. we agree that there is. Parties
and individuals in those parties do
not always adhere strictly to the let
ter of their party platforms. Besides,
there is nothing to hinder radicals
from taking out insurance against
deportation in the form of member
ship in the communist labor party.
They can flash their membership
cards when questioned and otherwise
put them in their pockets and be
real communists. The plan looks
like a sure and easy means Of win
ming friends for each party from the
Other.
IN the simple days Of old-fashioned
government. say, prior to 1913, the
laws were interpreted by the courts
and the judges. 1t is a part Of the
New Freedom" to bestow this func-
-tion on the Secretary Of Labor. and
the department of justice itself isn't
yet hep" to it. Assistant Attorney
General Garvan says with a good deal
OF pathetic truth that the work Of his
department Slls fiat il Secretary
Wilson is to be allowed to cancel all
the deportation warrants ordered by
department of justice officials.
Obviously relief must be found by
changing the law or by changing the
secretary of labor. The present in
cumbent is one Of the three guaran-
teed, fast color. wearever stickers of
the Wilson cabinet and shows no
indication of resigning or getting
himself fired. There seems to be left
only one alternative.
