The Peoples Interest

The people would hail with Joy sue
cess!ve international meetings st fixed
short intervals for the purpose of
calmly discussing international diff
culties and differences and endeavoring
to compose them before they have be-
come acute. Such meetings would
also serve to recall the attention of
the mass at regular intervals to inter
national affairs. Heretofore these af-
fairs have been left to 9 handful of
diplomats until war, having become i'm
minent, the people, suddenly called
upon to pass judgment upon the issues,
found them selves unacquainted with
the facts and naturally followed their
leaders and went to war. The facts
disclosed to the people Of each coun-
try could not but make them feel that
their own cause was right and just. A
calm statement OF both sides Of the
issue was presented to neither side.
While force is exercised through
armies and navies, justice is primarily
exercised through enlightened public
opinion. 1t is, therefore, Of the utmost
Importance that the people Of the whole
world be given the opportunity to
form opinions based upon the real
facts. Only through a widely in.
structed and enlightened public opinion
can world wars be avoided. The hope
Of mankind is that ultimately justice
and not physical force will govern this
earth. Daniel Webster we'll said: Gus
tice, sir, is the greatest interest Of man
on earth"
Never before in the worlds history
has the interest In the problem of
preventing war been as widespread
as it is to-day. At this very mo-
ment no little pressure of public
opinion is being brought to bear upon
the conferees at Washington actually
to reduce and limit armaments and
prevent conflict in the Pacific and
the Far East. If the conferees fail,
public opinion will demand IN no un-
certain tones that they make clear to
the world just why they have failed.

Arrnistice Day, 1921
My boy--he's four years old---went
out with ME
To watch the soldiers and the flags
go by;
And, caring much, tried to tell
him why
This day was solemnized. i.
The history
OF man, he knows rot Of; the years
to be,
Flo questions not; small troubles
make him cry,
Small pleasures laugh: yet an

Who feel the pang beneath the

and tears
II I had told him truly? What is

BY us who read the records Of old
wrath,
Save that we struggle blindly in no

Cleared by clean-bladed thought,
but overgrown
By jungle hates and choked with
poisonous fears?

Big BUSINESS
TO DEFEAT
INCOME TAX

Washington, Oct. s. - Gum-shoe
5attalions of Americas internation-
al business group are marshaled in
The nations capital to urge the pas
sage of new tax system, patterned
after imperialistic Europe.
The plan provides that where an
American corporation does 80 per
cent of its business in foreign lands
it is exempt from the payment of
income, corporation or other taxes
The scheme is part of the new
revenue bill, which has passed the
house, but has struck several rocks
in the senate, where it was sched-
uled to slip through with as little
publicity as possible.
The revenue bill repeals the ex-
cess profits tax, but big business is
not satisfied with this plum and
mas arranged to escape taxes en-
tirely.
The proposal permits-and even
encourages-American big business
to exploit the cheapest labor in the
world, while being protected by the
American army and navy, without
cost to these financial adventurers.
High tariff advocates are support
ing the scheme, and this may pos
sibly account for sidetracking their
demand for protection to American
workingmen."
If the tax exemption is passed. big
business can exploit the millions of
Chinese coolies and other cheap la
Dor, and then pocket their tax-free
profits, with Americas army and
navy ready at all times to respond
to their call to "protect American
property"
for it's coolie products, but if Amer
ica erects a high tariff wall against
foreign countries, these nations may
retaliate on commodities marketed
by Americans.
This would affect the coolie prod
ucts of American big business.
Hence, deep silence on the need for
protection to American workingmen
against the pauper labor of the old
world"
Opponents of the tax plan charge
that millions of dollars will be taken
out of the country, with the steel
trust and Standard oil securing con-
cessions in China, Russia and else
where, and other monopolists scour-
ing the world for similar plums with
American labor idle because money
and credit will go to these exploited
lands.
1t is also charged that under the
new tax system corporations will
be given a subsidy to the extent of
their exemption from taxation, while
the people, now tax burdened, will
be called upon to meet the deficit
because American capital is engaged
elsewhere.

PACKERS r E V E r 7
TO FORM
(From "Labor")

Chicago packers have decided not
to deal with trade union representa-
tives of their employees. That is
all that can be made out of their
recent announcements, cleverly
worded as they were to give the
casual reader an entirely differ
ent conclusion.
The packers, in common with 9TH
er employers, are not going to deal
with union representatives because
they find it ever so much easier to
exploit their workers when they lack
intelligent representation. The hos
tility that exists against unionism
has no other basis than that it
minimizes somewhat the inequality
that must be present when highly
trained experts retained by employ
ers are trading across the table with
unorganized, uniformed and undi-
rected workers in the mass.
An agreement that was negotiated
by the presidents mediation commits
sion when a strike was threatened in
the packing industry has been al
lowed to lapse. No complaint against
it's working was ever made public
The arrangement was supervised
by Federal Judge Alschuler and it
seemed to be doing substantial JUS
tice.
Unions, however, have never been
popular with the packers. They
felt that labor had secured an ad-
vantage when it compelled recogni-
tion of its unions. Now that times
are slack and the need less driving
the packers are making use of their
opportunity to regain their original
autocratic, oppressive and inhuman
power.
Autocracy in industry as elsewhere
succeeds best when it dissembles.
The packing industry in the past
has not been conspicuous for tenn
porizing policies. 1t has been ruth
less to the point of brutality. Con-
Gitions in the stockyards have been
Wages were low, work irregular and
employees were defenseless. 1t is a
reasonable assumption that, having
sought to destroy the machinery
that at least partially corrected
these unsatisfactory conditions, the
parkers propose to restore low
wages and irregular work, and re-
duce their workers to state of
utter helplessness.
But they cannot do it. For a
time they may imagine they are
succeeding, but in the end they
will go smashing up against the
hard fact that it is impossible to
capture the awakened consciousness
of their employees and reconfine it
in the rotten system which happily
they for a time escaped.

Things TOpsy Turvy
In Nations Capitol

Washington, Oct, 8.-With unem-
ployment widespread, prices refus-
ing to come down and winters rig
ors almost in sight, things are topsy
turvy in the lawmaking branch of
government.
When the revenue bill was iammed
the senate would quickly approve
the act But the thing hasn't hap
pened. The senate rules do not
permit strong-arm methods in end
ing debate and the senators who
have the revenue bill in charge are
unable to break the insurgency jam.
With the insurgency of a few
senators is added a non-partisan
combination of senators from agri-
cultural states who have thrown
several monkey into the
senate machinery. This block is
growing in strength and confidence,
despite a publicity campaign by big
business on the evil of "recogniz-
ing any classes in this country"
Things are in such shape that
hints are being thrown out on the
need for the senate to pass clo-
ture rule. Debate can now be stop
ped by a two-thirds vote but the
would-be muzzlers can't muster this
vote. The senate has always allowed
the fullest debate and suggestions
that this historic policy be changed,
that insurgency may be gagged, in
dicates how hard pressed reaction
is. Some avowed reactionaries, how
ever, are against the gag rule, for
they are not sure that in some fu-
ture session of the senate the gag
may be used against them.
Hints are also thrown out that
the president must take charge of
affairs and crack the administration
whip. But this plan has it's draw
backs, as the presidents opponents
will point to his prediction dec
clarations that the chief executive
should not interfere with the law
making branch of government.

Harding under date of September
the wishes of the American people
relative to submitting an ultimatum
to the European delegates to the
effect that we would neither cancel
their Indebtedness nor longer post
pone the payment of the overdue
interest thereon-but that if they
would collectively agree to disarm-
either entirely or gradually we
would conform to such an agreement
and would remit their debts in pre-
cisely the same ratio.
1t may we'll be that President
Harding upon investigation will find
that the American people are disin-
clined to consider the adjustment of
our European loans upon any terms
whatever short of actual payment.
1t is even possible that our Euro
pean friends will be constrained to
answer such an ultimatum by dis
claiming any desire to escape one
lot or one title of their indebted
ness. 1t would certainly be an
agreeable evidence of their fine sense
of honor should they do so.
But it is we'll for us to fully un-
derstand the question we will be
called upon to answer, which is
simply this:
Shall we discuss Disarmament
upon its own merits and insist upon
Europe taxing their own people to
pay their own debts, or-shall we
hand them receipted bills for what
they owe us, and thus allow Eu-
rope to bleed the American taxpayer
and pay their European debts with
the American money so appro-
priated?
