WHERE DISARMAMENT STANDS

Disarmament. for the time being, ap-
pears to be suspended between those
who feel it to be absolutely necessary
for saving the world as it is and those
who feel that we have got to fight a
major war for world trade.
Beneath the surface it is principally
a struggle between our. international
bankers and our manufacturers and
other exporters, the first group natur-
ally aided by all the progressives op-
posed to war on principle.
international bankers see themselves
ruined by competitive ornaments and
by the existence of Russia. Our manu-
facturers see that America can not
possibly use much more than half of
their productive power, and that their
normal business and profits involve
taking foreign trade away from those
which now have it, whether it be Ger.
many, England or France.
The monopoly profit system of doing
business, which makes it impossible
for people like ours to buy back as
consumers about as much as they
make as producers, is the great war
making factor in civilization.
II the international bankers win So
called disarmament they will bring
about a war to restore Russia to ex-
ploitation and other wars to put down
revolutions. If the other profit group
prevents disarmament, we shall have
major war, with one or more of the
great military and trade nations.

A,LROADS DESPERATE

President Atterbury of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and lieutenant OF J. P.
Morgan & Co., broke into the confer
ence Of the United States railroad la
Dor board this week with, an nltimatum
that the railroad labor laws of the
country had to be treated as scraps of
paper if the roads were not to go bank
rupt.
Rail labor protests reductions on the
ground that it has never gotten it's
wage up to cost of living, that during
the war satisfactory adjustments
could not be made, and that declining
prices have not yet made the made
quate wage a living wage
The most that the railroad finan.
ciers claim to be able to save BIZ par
ing railroad labor to the bone is $780,
100000, and hence one can hard V
imagine them escaping bankruptcy if
labor is gCuged as we'll as the general
public
The plain truth is that the railroads
are in bad shape, that return to pri-
vate exploitation was a colossal error
formed by few financial pirates and
the general fear Of encouraging pro-
duction for service, and that in the
near future the government has got to
take them back.

WASHINGTON, D. C:-The Amer
lean Legion of Kansas has officially
requested the cooperation of Mime
sofa Legion officials in correcting
statements to the effect that the
American Legion Of Kansas is attack
ing the Nonpartisan league.
Commander Vernon of the Ameri-
can Legion in Minnesota will, accord
ing to the Legion's news service, issue
posts giving the gist Of the Kansas
commanders letter, to the following
effect:
1T is apparent, from letters receiv-
ed from American Legion posts and
individual legionnaires throughout the
country, that they have been, misin-
formed regarding the attitude of the
Kansas department of the American
Legion toward the Nonpartisan lea
que.
1--WE naturally do not attack the
League for two reasons: Because it
is considered a political body and be-
cause many Legion members belong to
TIC 1NOu Pal llSdu 1cGSuc.
Il inclose a copy of the resolution
passed by the Kansas Legion executive
committee on January 21, which I am
sure will make clear the situation, if
communicated to your posts and given
publicity in the public press"
=
TIE KANSAS RESOLUTION
The resolution Of the executive com
mittee referred to reads as follows:
"it is the sense Of this commit
tee that posts should be informed
that there is no restriction in the
constitution Of the American Le-
gon prohibiting members from
joining the Nonpartisan league or
any other political Organization.
"Be it resolved, that insofar as
the economic and political princi-
pies CT the Eonpartisan league
are involved, the American Legion
of Kansas takes 10 stand, but
urges each member CT the Ameri-
can Legion to perform his full
duty a5 citizen according TO his
own conscience and understand
ing"
Thus another unusually vicious at
tempt by politicians and the kept press
to drive former service men into fight
ing the common people has failed.
The local post at Salina, KAN, evi
IDENTIFY was won over by the plotters
against the Nonpartisan league. Blu,
National Commander F. W. GalbraitI
Jr. Immediately repudiated it's action
and now the Kansas organization has
done the thing which speaks we'll fol-
it's genuine Americarism and loyalty
to democratic principles
Those who have had anything to dr.
with large organizations know how
difficult it is to keep all local bodies il
line The responsibility for the dis
honorable incident belongs with the
politicians and the kept press
