5.7S5, 900 Unemployed

The New York World, one of
the leading independent Demo-
cratic papers of our nation, puts
out some plain facts in the fol-
lowing, Notwithstanding the
Wilson abusers:
The Secretary of Labor esti-
mates the number of persons
out of employment in all the in
dustries of the country at
5,735, 900.
This is far in excess of all the
armed forces that the United
States Government modified
during the war. To find any
thing that compares with it as a
record of economic collapse we
must go back to the troubled
months in 1914 which followed
the German declaration of war,
when American finance, COM
merce and industry were sud
denly paralyzed by the trans
formation of Europe into an
armed camp.
1t is easy and usually foolish
to blame government for unem-
ployment, but in this case there
is a clear and unmistakable re-
lationship. When the Republi-
can Senator'S under the leader
ship of Henry Cabot Lodge be-
gan their fight against the Treat
of Versailles they began also to
recruit this vast army of unem-
ployed.
At the time these Senators
organized their intrigue against
President Wilson, American labor
was at work and American fac
tories were all running full time.
American industry was locking
forward to a long period of pros
perity in which it was to reap
the reward of its participation
in the reconstruction of a war
devasted Europe. 1t was plain
enough that American prosperity
hinged on the rehabilitation and
sterilization of political and eco
nomic conditions in Europe.
American interests were inextri-
cably involved with Europen in
terests. To get the world back
on its feet it was imperative
that the United States should |
ratify the Treaty of Versailles
and exert all its influence and
power to re-establish a real
peace in Europe.
Instead Of doing the obvious
thing the American people per-
mitted the Republican Senators
to wreck the treaty in order to
crafty their hatred of Woodrow
Wilson, and when the treaty
was wrecked by the Senate, |
Europe was given over to eco
nomic disintegration.
Not satisfied with this exploit
in malicious destruction, the Re /
publican leaders in control of the
Republican Congress that was
elected in the fall Of 1918 refus-
ed to revise taxation and refused
likewise to reduce expenditures
to a peace-time basis. Their
answer to every plea for action
was that if the country wanted
them to revise taxes it must give
them complete control of the
