Out-Kuisering
the Kaiser
THE dangerous character Of the


Penrose bill was emphatically
disclosed when the Senate FL
nance Committee voted down the
amendments offered by Senator
Walsh, of Massachusetts,.
One of these amendments required
the Secretary Of the Treasury to
give full publicity to his proceed
ings.
The other made the consent of the
Congress necessary before the agree
ments made by the Secretary be-
came in force.
The country is now justified in
suspecting anything of a coterie-we
had almost said a conspiracy
which proposes to let one man make
any arrangements he pleases with
our foreign debtors, to let him
make these arrangements in secret
and without the knowledge Of the
American people, and to put what
ever arrangements he thus secretly
makes beyond the power of the Con-
gress to reject or even to amend.
We are confident that no such
brazen proposal to deprive free
people Of self-government, through
their representatives, was ever made
in all history.
The Kaiser would not have dared
to propose such thing to the Ger
man Parliament.
See what this bill proposes to do:
It proposes to clothe one member
of the Cabinet--an appointed de.
partment head, not elected by the
people and not responsible to the
people-with the full power to do
as he pleases with the principal and
interest of ten thousand million
dollars.
That is more than the total cost
of our Government, including all
our former wars and all our pur-
chsses of territory, from the inaugu-
ration of George Washington until
the second Inauguration of Wood
row Wilson.
That is more money than the
richest government in the world
ever had or ever owed prior to 1914.
The mere interest on this gigantic
sum is one million dollars a day
and it has been piling up day after
day, week after week, month after
month, year after year, with no ef-
fort to collect a cent of it, while
our peoples prosperity has gone to
smash and their taxes have become
destructive for lack of the money
owed by these defaulting debtors
overseas.
: The just compensation due to our
soldiers is denied on the plea that
the Treasury has no money.
The very sick and crippled among
them are disgracefully neglected on
the same excuse.
And yet we can let foreign gov
ernments hold back a million dollars
day in interest alone, and put off
paying even an installment on ten
thousand millions Of principal,
while they spend this money in
keeping up huge military and naval
establishments and in disturbing the
peace of the world with their in
trigues, secret diplomacies and
downright militaristic and i'm
perialistic villainies as bad as any
with which the Kaiser was ever
charged.
It is certain that an enormous
majority of the American people
want these foreign debts paid, and
that they will. not quietly submit to
any Senatorial and banking scheme
to defeat payment.

The March
Of EUents
USSIA has always had famines

at intervals There was one
- sixteen years ago, and thou
sands persisted. The Cars govern
ment did what it could, but poor
transportation facilities made it i'm
possible to move enough Of the food,
which was plentiful in parts of the
empire, to the people who we're
starving in another part. And that
is exactly the trouble now.
This famine is worse than any
which occurred in Russia for several
reasons. First, the Russians fought
Germany and Austria for nearly
four years, losing more men than
England, France, Italy and the
United States combined, and saving
the others from sure defeat, before
the United States came to the final
rescue.
Then the Russian people have
been blockaded and deliberately
starved by the nations they saved,
and have been forced to take the
laborer from the factories and fields
to fight armies financed and sent
against them by France, England
and our own country.
Four years Of that kind Of thing
broke down and starved powerful
Germany, and naturally seven years
Of it have brought Russia to ruin
and famine.
Russia was never a manufacture
ing country. It traded foodstuffs
and raw materials to Germany,
France, England and America for
manufactures, machinery, railroad
equipment, textiles, chemicals, medi-
cines and the like.
When this trade was prohibited
by the blockade, the Russians at
tempted to build up manufacture
and, above all, to put their crippled
railroads in working order. But
Kolchak and Denikin and Yudenich
and Wrangel and the Poles were in
cited to attack Russia north, south,
east and west, and japanese and
American soldiers were sent to ST.
IBERIA to seize the only railroad over
which the wheat of that huge gran
airy could be transported to the
thickly populated parts of European
Russia.
In the meantime French war YES
sells stopped transportation over the
Black Sea and British war vessels
stopped transportation from Scan
dinavia to Russia over the Baltic.
Even ships carrying only hospital
supplies and medicines for the ty-
plus sufferers we're ruthlessly sunk
by gunfre.
The Russian government could
get no railroad iron, no locomotives,
no cars, no equipment of any kind.
The railroads, after seven years of
forced military use--three of them
employed in fighting the allies, for
whom eleven million Russians had
died in the camps and in the battle
fields-fell into almost complete
wreck. And they are in that con-
dition yet.
The inevitable result has been
that, although there is food enough
in sections of huge Russia to feed
the whole Russian people, millions
are dying in horrible agonies, be-
cause the food cannot be sent to
them. To blame this on the Soviet
government is cruel falsehood or i'm
beetle ignorance.
Take it, all in all, this blockade
and starvation of the Russian peo-
pie is the most cruel, wicked and
abominable crime that has ever
added blackness to the sad annals
of mans inhumanity to man.
