Germans Forming
Partnership With
Chinks For Trade
(By Associated Pressl

London, Dec. 6-The Germans are
gradually returning to China and
picking up the threads of their for
mer business; not trading for the
present in their own names but in
partnership with Chinese, says a re-
port on the commercial situation of
China, by H. H. Fox, commercial
counselor of the British Legation in
Picking.
German dyes and paints, needles,
metals, drugs and sundries are be-
ginning to appear on the Shanghai
market, the report goes on, and it is
stated that several important orders
for machinery and electric plant
have recently been booked by Ger
man firms.
There is no doubt, the report says,
that the Germans, assisted by the
comparative cheapness of their pro-
ducts, will gradually recover the
share they held in China's foreign
trade before the war, but the process
will be slow, as they have lost valu
able connection; the business organ
izations they had so laborously built
up have been shattered, and they
have suffered a serious loss of pres
tige in the eyes of the Chinese.

Chicago, Dec. 6-Data compiled by
the Horse Association of America
indicates that there are more than
100000 horses and mules in the
United States, seventeen millions of
which are on farms and more than
100000 in cities, according to the
annual report of Wayne Dinsmore,
Secretary of the Association made
here before the annual meeting of
the Association recently.
In speaking of the value of horses
and mules as compared with auto
mobile trucks, Mr.. Dinsmore said:
"As a result of studies, other sur
veys made, and definite statements
with cost figures furnished to us by
firms who own and use 51,927 head
of horses, we are now in position
to say positively that on hauls with
in a horses working radius, i.e., the
distance a team can travel in day,
horses furnish more economical SER
vice than motorized equipment.
"On local delivery work, from
store to store or house to house, the
evidence is overwhelmingly for horse
drayn equipment. Ice companies,
coal companies, groceries, bakeries,
milk companies, and all others whose
business involves frequent stops and
delivery work, agree emphatically
with the great packing companies
whose verdict is, On all hauls under
20 miles per day, the horse is most
economical
In speaking of horses in the cities,
Mr.. Dinsmore said:
"Our investigations in cities dur
ing the past year show that competi- |
ton will force all cities to develop
abundant terminals and team tracks,
and this factor will inevitably lead |
TO increased horse use. Boston, |
with many wharves and team tracks,
has very few hauls that are not I'M
der two miles for the round trip, and
Boston moves her enormous ship |
ments of wool, leather, fish, vegeta-
bles, fruits, ETC., at very low cost. |
Seventy-fve per cent of her mer-
chandise is horse-drawn, and she en-
joys the distinction of having the
best lot of horses, on the average, of
any city in America"

CHURCH men TAKE
HAND
In Unmasking Alleged
Open Shop

New York-The Social Service Bull
letin, issued by the Methodist fedora
tion for social service, is the latest
to lombard the alleged open" shop
This attack is one of the many being
launched against the anti-union move
ment by church men of all creeds.
"The real issue" says the Social
Service Bulletin, is the method of ne
gotiating with employees. 1t is a ques-
tion of collective bargaining, as
against individual bargaining. The
personal liberty and freedom of con
tract for which the employing group
stands, leaves entire control of hiring
and firing, management, amount and
quality of product, system of pay in
the hands of the employer. An indi-
vidual, even though a union man, is
poweriess to bargain over these mat
ters.
THAT this is the real issue of the
campaign is evident in the repeated
assurance of employing groups that
they will not discriminate against
union men as such, but that they will
deal with them only as individuals.
Experience of the steel corporation
in maintaining the "open shop policy
indicates that this policy is not en-
forced without an army of spies. Such
spy systems established by this and
other corporations breed distrust, sus-
picion and disruption in community
life.
''In West Virginia at the present
time, 5he determination of coal opera
tors to maintain open shop conditions
is leading to situation which threat.

BIG SUMS FOR WAR

Washington. - Ninety-three three
per cent of the peoples money is used
for purposes of war and ] per cent
for purposes of education, said Con-
gressman Mansfield, of Texas, who
called attention to a scientific study
made by Dr. Rosa of the United States
bureau of standards on expenditures
by our government for the year 1920.
Dr. Rosa showed that 90 per cent of
the total appropriations last year were
for war and preparations for war, 3
per cent for public work and l per
cent for public work and per cent
for research, education and develop
ment.
when Germany was using practic-
ally all of her resources in building
up great military and naval establish
ments," said Congressman Mansfield,
''the entire civilized world stood in
awe at her until the opportune mo-
ment arrived for forming vast CO.
alition to encompass her defeat We
now find this nation following in the
footsteps of Germany and pursuing
the same course which we condemned
in that nation as being menace to
mankind And, strange to say, we
find men high in the counsels of our
government of both political parties
who, then loudest in their condemna-
tion of Germany, are now longest in
their advocacy of having this country
pursue the same course that led to
that nations downfall.
Instead of taxing our people to the
verge of slavery to fill the Golfers of
those who profit in the building of
great naval and military establish
ments, let US divert reasonable pro-
portion of our funds to the more use
full, necessary and humane purpose of
the rehabilitation and comfort of those
who were made sufferers by the late
war"

In American Federationist

Information in the possession of
officers of the A. F. of L. indicates
very clearly that, however peaceful
conditions may be within the borders
of Mexico, plotting on this side of the
line for interference in Mexican in
ternal affairs has not come to an end
During the last 10 years of Mexican
history one revolutionary movement
after another has had its inception
in the United States. At various
times the moving spirits in these
movements have centered their opera
tions on the border, in San Diego and
Los Angeles and also in New York
city.
When there was no opportunity fol
the people of Mexico to find redress
for wrongs through the methods Of
peace within their own country, The
liberty loving people of the United
States looked with sympathy upor
such steps as could properly be taker
within the borders of this country
looking toward the securing of relic:
for the Mexican people.
In addition to this, many revolu

of what the future will bring forth i

but democratic in practice.
For the present the facts are that
a government is in power as the re-
suit of free election and that this
government is unusually responsive
to the will of the people.
The Mexican people an6 the Mex
lean government today have a right
to look upon conspiracy in the United
States against the Mexican govern
ment exactly as the people and gov
ernment of the United States would
look upon similar conspiracy in Mex
leo against the government of the
United States.
Whether these plots be the work Of
adherents of the former Carranza
government, or whether they be the
plots cf any other faction in Mexican
political life, they have no right to
expect the hospitality of American
soil and they have no right to expect
the tolerance of the American people.
Nearly all of these attempts to fo-
ment revolution in Mexico have had
their origin and purpose, not in ac-
cord with the will of any large or
important group of the people of Mex
leo, but with that of adventurous
American expioiters whose purpose is
the pilfering of the wealth of that
country. now enjoying peace and
tranquility with the opportunities for

All aspirants for political power in
Mexico have had the. opportunity at
the polls to strive peacefully and dem

of the United States must assume
that another free and democratic OPP

mothers were driven to such employ

husbands, and chose the night shift
in order that they might be with their
