James Henry Thomas. one OF
Englsnd's able labor leaders and
member Of parliament. warns
workers against a social up
heaval as a remedy for unem-
ployment." He tells them revo-
luton and violence won't help,
md he is most everlastingly
right. "..
Revolution in England would
mean an end Of business, and an
end Of business would mean
starvation for more than half the
millions that live in England.
England is not able within her
border to feed half Of her pop
ulation.
When revolution began. COM
Inerce would stop and starvation
commence. Russia. with 200, ,0C0
separate, independent. self-sup-
porting villages, is begxius the
world to feed her after a few
years Of revolution. What hap
pcned to Russia after a few
years Of revolution would hap
pen to England in a few weeks.
Two interesting conventions in
ssew York soon. OAs early in
November win be cancer week."
The other will be "birth control
week" The birth control advo-
Gates think their theories will cut
out the cancer. poverty. and the
disastrous pressure Of oyer-pop-
, uiation. 81 ?. 49,
The cancer clinics will investi-
rate all alleged cures that come
with full information and fifty
cases Of treatment. A reward Of
100000 Is offered for a cancer
cure. To that Rockefeller IN
doubtedly would add a million.
He has spent q million at least
In studying cancer already.
Mrs. Harold Mccormick, daugh-
ter of John D. Rockefeller, back in
Chicago from Europe, says she
will organize seriously and scien-
tifically the study Of psychoanaly-
sis. The majority Of Chicago
men are in too much Of a hurry
to analyze themselves, and too
tired after they have finished ana
lying metals, business conditions,
Congress. prosperity, and putting
-(golf).
The women of Chicago will be
sinterested. And IL psychoanaly-
sis can uncover, explain, and
enable rs TO control the ancient
animal and savage instincts buried
deep within us, one above another,
like psychological pousse-cafe,
the world will be better off. "
Mrs. Mccormick proposes to
enable our consciousness to ex-
anime and know "sub-conscious-
q. ness" which seems difficult, some
thing liks the gentleman who said
he intended to "know the unknow-
able. and unscrew the unscrutable."
Scientifically managed investi-
cation Of psychological facts would
find q rich field in insane asylums,
in prisons, in society which traces
back to the peacock, in high fl
nance leading back to the jackdaw,
collecting shining things Of no use
to him.
Fourteen principal nations, at
this moment Of peace talk, have
six million soldiers under arms.
Numbers amount to little some
times. China has the biggest
army, 1,370, 900. Little Japan,
with one-seventh Of China's popu-
lation, can chase big China around
as q small terrier chases a large
OK. 2':at' %.
Germany stands last with
100, 900, this country next to
last with $4,000. France fol
lows China with 1,034,000. Eng
land has 740,5O0, and Japan
30o, 900. It is not with march
ing troops. but with flying bombs
and unseen submarines, that
Japan expects to do most Of her
fighting. The troops would
come, II at all, after dynamite
from the air had convinced the
enemy that he might as we'll
give up and save destruction Of
all his cities.
How much useful work could
be done In this world IL the six
million men now parading up
and down, doing nothing, wait
ing to- kill, were equally we'll
