ARMIES or LABOR.

~ INSCRIPTION Of labor is now openly admit

ground that Russia needs every ounce of Drawn IN the
country. =
AT first the Soviet government pretended that the
ALLEGED consumption was nothing other than the volun-
tafy agreement of labor to conscript itself. Neutral
investigators who have come out Of Russia denied this,
and charged inc Soviet leaders with actual ensIavemcnt
of workers. Just recently the International labor office
Of the League Of Nations accused the BoIshevik au-
ts:sbriies Of putting human labor under an iron military
discipline. We must create armies of labor de-
clares Lcnine.
But Why armies Why conscript workefs2 Why
put them into chain gangs to make them work? EOw
can Bolshevism explain that9 Wasn't it once the Boil
shSyiik theory that, d~ccapitate capitalism, take away
private property, and every person will be wiling,
vs.. eaaer-to work. Lenine and Irotzky once spoke
volumes in contention Of that theory. american Boil
shkviks argued husly.
So it was that a part Of Russia destroyed the system
so:ardently disliked by Lenine. Capital was reduced
to:the ranks. Private property and individual profits
were oudawed. The dictatorship of the proletariat
came into actual being.

the production and use Of its natural resources.
Two-third, Of every ton Of coal has gone up into
the ali or into the dump. Enormous volumes Of nat,
ural gas have been allowed to escape to the limits Of
an earth atmosphere. Hundreds Of millions Of barrels
of petroleum have flowed over the ground to utter
uselessness. And so on all along the line.
Everywhere you hear Of steps being taken to correct
the wastetuIness. Thus, if conservation becomes the
rule hereafter with new discoveries below the surface,
there will be less and less need Of fear that the word

At the State department they say that the action
of the Tennessee house OF representatives IN passing
a resolution revoking previous action on the suf-
rrape amendment has created a legal tangle with
which the state department has nothing TO do
That is half way correct. The State department
Is not at all interested In what the Tennessee house
did this week, but it is a mistake to say that a legal
tangle has been created. sdQe courts may be per
suaded to take an interest in this phase of the Ten,
nessee suffrage row, but when 1t is all over 1t VIII
be shown that the only thing thelTennessee house
did when 1t passed the non-concurrence resolution
