To Fight the British Coal strike.

I'm the temper of the British public.
which is exactly the temper of the
American public against further union
exactions to throttle industry and
jack up the cost of living, no coal
strike could have chance to win. IL
could not last long enough to discover
1t was on earth. The leaders OF the
British miners know the truth and
implore the men not to strike DAVID
LLOYD GEORGE. who reads his public
like book, knows 1t and defies them
ia strike.
The British Premier might even
welcome a strike diversion as strate-
gic advantage to his beleaguered Gov
eminent. Beset by his political all
versaries, harassed by the turmoil
and anarchy in Ireland, hard pressed
to manage the disturbing economic con-
dltions that have survived the war,
he knows he could count on the ma
ton to rally behind him In his resist
ance to any wanton attempt to shut
down the country's mills and fac
tories. cut of its exports, dry up It's
revenues and infiict starvation upon
hundreds Of thousands Of working
men and women whose employment
depends upon an uninterrupted coal
supply to the basic industries in which
they work.
In the face of strike the Irish
troubles would vanish from the Brit
ish publlc's eye. The complications
of Continental Europe would be for
gotten. The grit, the power and the
wrath of that public would be centred
on the coal strikers. The public which
enlisted In few days TO fight the
British railroad strike would enlist In
few hours to fight the coal strike.
The public which settled the railroad
strike with elaboration would settle
the coal strike in jlffy.
The millions in Great Britain, like
the tens Of millions In America, who
are working their heads or to make
both ends meet while demanding that
living costs shall come down are done
with holdup strikes by special groups
still thirsting to prey on the public.
They are not going to argue about
such strikes. They are not going to
temporize with them. They are going
TO smash them.

VIII Cox Call II Another Infa nous
Round Robin?

Seldom has there been presented a
more pathetic and at the same time
a more diverting contrast between
hope and fact than was afforded yes
terday by the columns Of our neigh
Dor the New York Times.
In an editorial article which I'M
conscious humor had entitled "The
Republican Predicament" the Times
dwelt largely and enthusiastically
upon the scramble of Republican
friends of the League" away from
HARDING and to Cox since the Sen
ator's declaration at Des Moines that
1t is mot Interpretation but rejection"
Of the Wilson covenant which he is
seeking.
THE patience Of the sincere friends
of the League Of Nations" according
to our esteemed contemporary, "has
grown weary Of his futile efforts to
concord himself with himself" Dis
tinguished Republicans are turning
their backs" on HARDING. Disguised
with Mr.. HARDING's wiggllng and
wabbling," according to the same OBJ
server of political currents and ten
denotes, the League Republicans are
convinced that the only means of
bringing the United States into the
League is the election Of Mr.. Cox"
And "the Republican managers are
clearly and Justly frightened"
In the news columns Of the Times
Of the same day. simultaneously APP
pearing with the foregoing obse-va-
tons but manifestly not available for
use as a premise at the time when
those interesting conclusions we're
formulated, Is the statement signed
by the thirty -one eminent friends Of
international peace who join In the
declaration Subsequent to Senator
HARprNa's Des Moines utterance) that
they believe they "can most effectively
advance the cause Of international
cooperation to promote peace by sup
porting Mr.. HANDING for the Presi-
dency."
Why. are not these apparently the
same gentlemen who are depicted by
the Times as weary Of Senator HAIR
prNGs futile efforts to concord him.
self with himself. as turning their
backs on him from sheer exhaustion
Of patience, as disguised with his
"wiggling and wabbling," and con-
WINGED that Cox is the only hope Of
the cause they have at hearth Are not
they the sincere Republicans whose
attitude Is so clearly and justly"
frightening the Republican managers?

Cre0lt COnQltiOnS IN LaVin America.
The process of readjustment and
defiation through which this country
Is now passing has its reflection In
feeling Of uncertainty in regard to our
Latin American trade. Export con-
Germs are somewhat pessimistic over
the outlook for business In southern
markets and fear a permanent con-
traction. In purchases there.
While August statistics Of our for
eign trade showed continued growth
in our exports to Latin American
countries, present indications are that
September and subsequent months
will reveal a tendency in the opposite
direction. The basic cause of the re-
cent retrenchment, which just now Is
beginning to be felt, is the general
decline In market price Of the raw
products on which the prosperity Of
the Hispanic republics depends. Prac-
tically all are affected, although In
varying degree.
The principal coffee producing coun-
tries, including Brazil. Venezuela. Co.
iombia and the Central American
States. are contracting their pur-
chases abroad because of the low price
of their staple commodity. The weak
ness of the cocoa market has been
felt for some months, especially In
Ecuador, which produces little else,
and in Venezuela, Hayti and the Do
minican Republic. Argentina is blue
because of the poor wool market, the
slackened demand for meat products
and the depression in hides and
leather. Until the new harvests are
put on the market and expectation Is
resumed next year the situation is not
expected materially to improve.

1t Is truly said that Canada is
entering upon the most extensive

undertaken by a democracy.
BY taking over the Grand Trunk
and Grand Trunk Pacific 1t will
have 22.705 miles of road.
Here Is the list;

Practically the government has
everything but the Canadian Pacific.
Aside from the Grand Trunk it
self, everything in the governments
control may be classed as q lame

What the governments plan is as
to operation and rates remains TO
be seen. Practically II will be in
competition with private enterprise,

F. w. w.

the Ukrainians and two previous un-
successful invasions OF the Ukraine
have taught the Russian Bolsheviki
mething. Lenine's letter Is tae
recognition of the fact that the
Ukraine nationalist movement can
not be suppressed and must be reck-
oned with. He Is trying to COM
promise with the Ukrainians, but
IL is more than doubtful IL he can
succeed.
What does he offer to them? He
says 1t Is question whether
Ukraine will be a separate and an
Independent Ukranian Soviet Social
ist Republic Joined in alliance (fed-
eration) with the r. s. F. S. R.. or
whether Ukrainia will merge with
Russia to form a single Soviet Re-
public And then he announces his
ideal of "a single worldwide Soviet
Republic OF all the nations of the
world.
There is Lenine's idea of the
independence of Ukrainia, or for
that matter of any other nation of
the world!
Criticism OF Allies.
Now the sentiments OF the Ckrain-
ian people are certainly outraged
by the allied people. Refusal Of the
Peace Conference to. recognize the
independence of the Ukrainian Re-
public; refusal to give Ukrainia any
aid whatsoever. including medical
aid against pestilenee. which has
decimated the Ukrainian population;
refusal to allow importation to
Ukrainia of any supplies, bought and
paid for by Ukrainians; and finally
the utter disregard of the principle
OF nationality as far as the Ukrain-
ians are concerned (purely Ukrain-
ian territory was mercilessly cut up
and allotted to Rumania. Czecho-
Slovakia and Poland) could not Gre
ate among the Ukrainian people any
sense of gratitude to the allies. Com
seQuently., the conciliatory attitude
Of Lenine Is certainly bound TO have
some results.
This especially may be expected
in the territory occupied by the
Polish military forces. According
TO the reports received here the
regime introduced by Poland in oc-
cupied Ukrainian regions Is out
rageous and the general opinion of
the population seems to be that the
devil himself at present would be
more welcome than the Poles.
This fact, 1t seems. Is recognized
by the Bolsheviki, who are making
attempts to win the sentiment of
the Ukrainian population of Eastern
Galicia. the most developed part of
Ukrainia.
"Bolsheviki are at present in pos
session of most OF the Ukraine ter
ritory. The Ukrainian national
troops, who recognize Gen. Petlura
as their chief, hold only a small
territory north of Bessarabia, while
the western part of the Ukraine is
occupied by Polish forces.
Gen. Denekin's army is nowhere
in Ukrainia Just now. In fact it is
almost non-existent. According to
most recent reports, it is making a
last stand in Novorossiysk, a small
part on the Black Sea, in the
shadow of the mountains of eau
causius."

Before my life was crowded so.

When I shall have the time to waste.

A little bit in politics;

And loaf along the countryside.

That I shall have no time to waste!
