The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-01-09

India is in the midst Of one of her greatest famines. Grain is twice as high as it was in 1900, but in spite of this people are not dying as they did then.
 A missionary gives two reasons for the lower death rate:
 In the last twenty years the ped pie have learned to work. Formerly one or two members of family, SUD- ported the rest. Now all who are able to work earn something, and so during the years of plenty something has been saved up-not much, but enough to help a little. Another reason why India is in a better condition now than in 1900 is that the caste system is breaking down. Now you will find men and women of many castes doing work which was formerly done by one caste alone. High caste Hindus are com ing to see that manual labor is no a From November W7orld ! Out look

NO -PARTISANS
AND REVOLUTION

(Rufus Wood In Wenatchee World)
1t seems that things have come
ito pretty bad pass when folks
in our own community have to
listen to open statements from
men that they are ready and in
favor Of a revolution. y
When an executive secretary
of q big organization like the
Non Partisan League signs him
self, "Yours for the revolution, y
it is bad enough. But when
speakers over the country bla-
family support that stand, it is a
whole lot worse.
1t is bad enough when several
radical labor leaders go into the
office of the mayor of Seattle and
openly threaten to take charge Of
THE government of the city. But
it is worse when a daily paper
and thousands over the state sup
port that attitude.
This country is still a republic
and as such its government is
Subservient to the will of the
majority. But when the head Of
a national labor organization
'eomes out} openly and threatens
TO do things by force, it is time
for show down.
When a governor of a state in
this union, elected by the ma
iority of the 'snffrages of the
people, openly talks revolution as
the Non-Partisan governor of the
state Of North Dakota is reported
TO have done, it is high time for
folks who have been sitting in
their comfortable arm chairs and
reading books to begin to realize
their danger

THE EXPENSIVE
SOVIET SYSTEM

The operation of nationalized
industries in soviet Russia has
resulted in a deficit for the first
year of 23,000,000,000 rubles.
+ This total is composed of five
and half billion for official
salaries and organization expense,
fourteen and third billion due
to production cost exceeding sale
prices and one and quarter
billion for political measures
found necessary to keep the
workers on their jobs.
The 'political measures" con
sisted mainly in placing armed
guards in factories where the
workers were most inclined to
slack or strike.
A little meditation on these
Tfaets should help to disillusfon
any American workers who have
been tempted to look upon the
soviet system as a short cut to
paradise. ~

The American commissioners, it is

Since the establishment of the in

grounds that conditions in Europe
