NEW RATTLEsHIPs STARTED
"The best way to maintain peace Is
to provide universal military training
in this country" was the testimony
of one of the active spokesman OF the
League to Enforce Peace, before the
Kenyon committee the other day. I'VE
should have universal military train
ing for defensive, disciplinary and eco
nomic reasons"
Whereupon Secretary Daniels an
nounces that the keels of three more
battle cruisers were laid within few
hours. Three other battle cruisers OF
the same class-"the largest and fast
est in the world''-were recently start
ed.
HUGHES ATTACKS PALMER
Charles Evans Hughes has come
back into the political field with ter
rife attack, supported by evidence,
against the autocratic lawlessness OF
the Wilson administration. Especially
does he call attention to the barbarous
illegality of the acts of Palmer and
Burleson, and says that 1--WE burn with
shame as we read" the statement
issued by IL distinguished lawyers on
the illegal acts of the department of
Justice in connection with the "red
raids" and the impris onment Of the
raid victims. Incidentally he deals
smashing blow to the New York legis-
lature for it's repeated expulsion of the
Socialist members.
CHASING BoLSHEVIKS
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, an
nounces that he and his organization
will have nothing to do with the inter-
national Federation of Trade Unions,
because that body has issued a mani
festo favoring the general strike as
weapon against war
The present situation Of various par
ties in the drama is something like
this:
The Russian Communists are rum
ming Soviet Russia, and have formed
a very radical and strictly disciplined
political league called the Third or
Moscow International.
Moderate Socialists of England, Ger
many, Belgium, Holland and some
other countries refuse to join the Mos
COW International, and point out the
purely peaceful and democratic char
acter of their London Second Interna-
tional.
Socialists and Communists of France,
Italy and Norway, with minorittes In
all European countries, denOunce this
Second International as being too con-
servative. They favor the Moscow
brand.
The radical and moderate Socialists,
in their trade union movement, all be-
long to the International Federation
of Trade Unions, which demands that
wars against Russia and other strug'
Cling peoples shall cease. They also
want all big vital Industries socialized.
All non-Socialist elements in Eu-
rope denounce the Moscow govern
ment and the Moscow international.
Then they denounce the London Inter
national as "Bolshevik" BODY be-
cause it is SOCIALIST" And they de-
nounce the International Federation Of
Trade Unions because it is defender
of Russia and an enemy of the Polish
war party.
Then Mr.. Gompers and his organ
ization denounce all Of the European
Communists, Socialists and labor bo-
dies as "pro-Soviet."
Finally there is the American bust-
ness and professional world, represent
ed by the United States Chamber OF
Commerce and Judge Gary and Mr..
Harding, whose verdict is that Mr..
Gompers is a dangerous Bolshevik
himself.
They're all chasing each other, and
all are advertising Mr.. Lenin Of Mos
COW, who must be modest indeed If
the headlines fail to make him expand
his chest.
