ditions are slowly and steadily making for a sounder situation. An import l ant element is the determination of business interests to carry into effect i a new policy of condusting their af- l fairs on sane and conservative lines, ] looking toward stability and continu- i ance in business rather than to the policy which until recently prevailed of doing as much. business as possible
 at high prices on a, basis of excited public buying with resulting ab- normal profits.
 Wholesale Commodity Market
 With few exceptions. the wholesale
 markets are now in a condition of
 inactivity not paralle1ed since the
 period of uncertainty which followed
 the armistice. Normally, this is the
 dullest season of the year and the
 condition of stagnation is partially to
 be ascribed to that fact. To a far greater extent, however. it is the re- suit of widespread realization which has at last become. general through out the business community. that the present downward price movem ent is not a temporary tendency but de- cline toward new level applicable to postwar conditions. a level which con be found only by cautious exper- 1men tation in the market. Tt is pos SIDle that III some cOInII1Ou1l1eS lulS new level has already been reached. Railroad Rates.
 ] The necessity. for an advance in railroad rates had long been beyond 1 argument, but even among those who I regarded this advance as necessary | there had been a considerable doubt as to the effect upon prices of pro- ducts which move on a tonnage basis. 1 Temporarily the effect of these rate | advances. will be reflected in prices of bulky articles, although there should 1 be little or no reflection in prices of
 articles the value of which is rela- | lively high in relation to weight. 1 Certain offsetting circumstances are not to be ignored, however. As | long IS the railroads were unable to 1 handle the freight offered to them 1 business in all lines suffered under a
 most serious handicap because of | hampered transportation. In some
 cases this has been reflected violently l in prices. If the rate advances en- l able the railroads to build up their plant and equipment sufficiently to | handle freight, expansion of produc- /! tion in all lines will become possible, | and the friction involved in the pres | ent process of distribution will be | eliminated. It will take a consider able time to reach this result, but l when it is attained the final effect of kincreased rates will be to lower prices.

TABLE TIPPING
 PRODUCED BY THE
 ODYLIC EFFLUVIA

odd Is the magnetic or vital fluid which at every second of our exist ence emanates from our whole being in uninterrupted waves.
 In normal state, these emana- tions remain unknown to us and en- tirely invisible-but subjects in the hypnotic state are able to, see these effluvia very clearly in the dark It has been ascertained that this fluid is the same as that which pro- duces the manifestations of table turning. To the eyes of the sensitive, indeed, these manifestation are ac- companied by luminous phenomena which synchronize in such a way as to leave no doubt as to the correla- ton between the emission of the fluid and the movements of the ta- ble. It moves only when the rays is suing from the sitters' hands become sufficiently powerful. These rays converge into a column of light ris- ing from the center of the table which displays more animation as they become more intense. When the rays are extinguished the table be- comes inert

 From official information received, it is learned that the Home Service Section of the Red Cross will be dis continued in the very near future, which means a greater amount of ad-' ditional work in the Service Division at State Headquarters as The Ameri- can Legion will be about the only sol dier's welfare organization in active existence to look after the needs of the ex-service men.
 Conclusion.
 In conclusion, wish to impress upon every member of The Legion in the Department that the Service Division is the concrete expression of the Departments very earnest de sire to help every ex-service man solve his own particular problem. Ex- perience in this work has shown that many of the men have little or no ir- formation to the relief provided by the Government for disabled men; or, if they have this information they do not know how to go about getting the Felief. These men are largely of the class who must be | reached by direct contact. The | American Legion has this contact.
 Some of the local posts have not as | yet appointed War Risk or Voca- | tional Officers. In such cases ap- l pointm ents should be made immedi- ately and names and addresses for l warded to this office. Full informa- ton in regard to claims of all kinds ] will be sent as soon as notice of ap- I Tpointn ents has been received The | War Risk and Vocational Education
 Sections are among the most inn portant features of The American i Legion.

Parliament a Dying Institution.


That which is near to us we generally fail to
see, at least in it's true perspective. What may
appear to a superficial observer as fluctuation
of the Importance of Parliament or the abuse
of power by coterie of ministers, may turn
out to be the signs of dying institution
It is rather peculiar that our evolutionary
Socialist" friends, who boast of their "historic
poise," have not seen the historical significance
of this phenomena, and still only view it as an
"abuse of power" It is not compliment to
the Macdonaldites that they go no further than
such bourgeois papers as the Daily News in
their criticism of this phenomenon, and that
they see nothing of positive character in it.
Whilst the form of power-the vote-is given
to to an ever-increasing number, the actual
power is centred in the hands of few "great
men, But the attitute of these "great men"
towards the House of Commons is the true
measure of the impotence Of it, and sign we
should not fail to notice.
Legislation in the Hands Of the Industrial
Magnates
Legislation is in the hands of the industrial
magnates behind the scenes. Bills are prepared
by the Ministers in conjunction with city men,
bankers, and the heads of the large industries.
We know that all the forces of British politics
are following the trail of oil in these days.
To the extent that industry becomes more
centralised, and the new markets become fewer,
the capitalists consider it necessary for the
national politics to be controlled directly by the
industrial magnates. To that extent also they
consider it essential for Parliament to be more
and more ignored and the Minister to become
more autocrative The more this tendency enl-
phasses itself and crystallises, the moro must
the masses be bluffed by the pillars Of demo-
cracy.
industrial Unions Assume More Power
On the other hand, another tendency must be

noted. lhe trade unions are assuming more
power, and the trade union headquarters be-
comes the point of opposition to Government
departments The effective opposition, from
the workers, toward new industrial and pol
itcal movements of the capitalists, too, are ar
ranged by the trade unions Direct action be-
comes Of greater Importance than the Labour
Ms.P. or the Labour Party. The acknowledge
ment of the necessity of direct action is sign
Of the Parliamentary impotence of Labour. The
capitalists and their puppets make Parliament
conform to their desires, whilst the workers are
compelled more and more to resort to direct
action, and to rely less and less on Labour
M's.P. These are sure signs of the decay of the
Parliamentary institution.
Trade Unions versus the Capitalist State.
As the antagonisms in capitalist society de-
velop more and more; as the capitalist calss con-
solidates itself into more powerful groups ON
the one hand and the workers strengthen and
solidify their trade unions on the other the
possibilities of revolutionary crises become
more numerous The more the highly -concen-
trated capitalist executive has to reply on the
use of the State forces, and the more brazenly
they act in that respect, the more wide awake
becomes the proletariat.
Workers Demands Exceed What Capitalist
Industries Can Bear.
AS the workers make demands upon the pro-
duction of industry which the industry fails tc
bear under the present system (witness some
of the Government subsidies), the State forces
are brought in to check the workers.
The State Intervenes
This creates new, set Of circumstances.
Whereas the negotiations, of days gone by, for
wage advances, ETC., used to take place between
craft unions and small sections Of employers,
we now find huge national industrial unions
making demands upon national sections Of
capitalists In many cases, the magnitude of the
disputes has been such that, for the safety Of
the public" the State has had to interfere.
Now break between the State and the Trades
