President Harding to Fight the
Bloc Menace.


are some concrete examples of the
nature and operations of the bloc or
ganizations which President HAIR
DING has given notice he is going to
fight in behalf of the country at
large. Whether it Is labor group,
an agricultural group, manufactur-
ing group or any other, the method
Of getting what is coveted by such an
organization regardless of the public
interest is to hold a pistol at the
head of the Government.

dates is fatty told by one or more of
these compact holdup groups that
he can have those powers IL he will
bargain for them. Bargaining for
them means if he will undertake to
deliver to the holdup gentry for their
own selfish advantage and to the
menace Of the whole public what
they demand for themselves.
This is political brigandage pure
and simple. II is a brigandage which
il allowed to extend its practices and
increase It's terrorism as much in
the near future as II has done In the
recent past must put an end to rule

President HARDING cannot under

very institution of the Republic with
out inviting the special blocs to come
down upon him like pack OF wolves.
SAM GoMPERs is already yelping for
the hunt. Populistic meters are
snarling in the Capitol itself. At
such promised curtailment Of their
Illicit functions they would not hesi-

the nation-they would dare to try to
wreck the country's peace programme
Of industrial restoration and national
prosperity.
But never from the Boston tea

response to a call by patriotic and
courageous leadership. failed to rise

that challenged the supreme institu-
tion of American Government for

President HARDING has but to speak
the word in this transcendent cause
Of Americanism, and after the next
election the puiverized remains OF the
Government wrecking blocs would
not fill the smallest dustpan.

Pro-League Sophistry.
The Shift OF Arguments Over This
COuntry's Attitude.

To THE NEW York HERALD: 1t IS
amusing to see the advocates of the
present League OF Nations lodging about
and continually getting in each other
way in their futile attempts to find
arguments for the league.
Their trump card at first was that
we would be deprived OF the many
"advantages' allotted to US under
the Treaty OF Versailles II we failed
to ratify that greatest monstrosity of
all International blunders. But that
bluff was called when we executed a
separate treaty, basing our demands
on the rights we earned by our contri-
button toward the common victory.
The pro-leaguers then executed ito
the rear march" and complained that
we obtained all our rights too easily !;
called 1t selfish treaty because we did
not put our necks In the moose OF Euro
pean intrigue and assume all the obli-
cations that Europe was only too willing
to shoulder on to us. IL obligations
were to be the fruits of victory then
we might better have lost the !,
Now the pro-leaguers conteno hat
poor. innocent. unsuspccting IL pc
never dreamed that Woodrow Wilson
was anything but king over here; never
even dreamed but that he had full
power to bind America to any agree
ment that he saw fit in order to satisfy
his insa liable thirst for world wide
fame.
The pro-leaguers once contended that
the league could get along very we'll
without us and that II we did not Join
we would eventually find the whole
world arrayed against us. Then they
executed another one OF their rapid ito
tho rear marches" and now lament Bit
torly that by not Joining we have
wrecked the league and dashed the
hopes OF the world.
But finally they have come near the
truth by saying that Europe respects us
only for our strength. Let us not ever
let our military power deteriorate one
iota. without Intense nationalism there
can be no real and lasting International
ism. Lloyd George spoke truthfuliy
when he said that the services OF Great
Britain to the world depended upon the
strength and integrity OF the British
Empire, and that Great Britain would
face civil war rather than let the
Empire in any way be impaired.
The same holds true for each and
every nation OF the earth. Only by be-
Ing intensely patriotic and Jealous of
our own strength and prestige can we
truly serve the world. The moment we
lose our Americansm In the maze OF
International sophistry and let our mill
tary power wane our sphere of lnflu-
ence will sink TO the level OF that Of
China.
Military preparedness Is non-debata-
BILE. 1t inculcates patriotism. 1t Is in
surance for a nations strength and pres
tige. When they are gone. when a ma
tion can no longer command respect or
protect herself, then her usefulness TO
herself and TO the world Is ended.

Cotton Prices.
The Cost to the Manufacturer and to
the Consumer.

To THE NEW York HERALD: You take
Arthur Brisbane to task for rejoicing
over the recent rise in cotton and you
goods will have to absorb the increase
in price of the raw product.
The disproportion between the ben
ents Of the mill section and the pro-
ducing SECTION is certainly marked and
unfair. The president OF the American
Cotton Association. ]. S Wanamaker,
in his report OF April of this year gives
a table presented last spring to the
United States Senate committee investi-
eating the high cost OF living. which
bears on the fairness Of the charges
OF the mills. 1t is as follows
Cost ot Cost of
Cotton. Article.
One piece OF gingham..... So s4.30
One piece of wolfe. ........ 1875 3.4S
One handkerchief. ......... Oh .25
Two pairs socks ......... .oie so
Whatever may be the fair price OF
the finished article there is no question
that the present price Of raw cotton is
too low to bring fair return to those
who toll for twelve months to bring 1t
into existence. Well may Mr.. Brisbane
and every lover of his country rejoice
over the recent rise in cotton. A fair
price to the cotton raiser means pros
perity for the whole nation. Fifty cent
cotton will not remunerate tho grower
in proportion to the remuneration of
the manufacturer at the price the con-
sumer pays for finished goods. And
fifty cent cotton would send thrill of
prosperity through every artery Of trade
and commerce In the Union.
