CONSIDER MANY QUESTIONS AT FIVE DAY SESSION
(By Associated Press)

DETROIT, June 27.-Whether So- cialism is to retain it's present pro- gram and identity of be amalagmat- ed with Sovietism or Communism is one of the issues which the Socialist upon to decide
 Under the "agenda" system of vol ing, adopted by the Socialists for the first time this year, all motions pro- posed for submission to the conven- tion must be circularized in advance among the membership of the party for assimilation and discussion. Any faction or group within the party however small and unrepresentative, may submit such a tentative motion for inclusion in the aganda, with the distinct understanding, however, that this procedure carries with it absolutely no endorsement or sanc- tion for the proposal by the commit tee who makes up the agenda.
 Thus among mass of other mo- tions to be submitted at the meeting will be the following, taken from the printed copy of the agenda issued:
 "A motion that the Socialist par ty of the United States renew it's application for membership in the Communist International upon the basis of complete acceptance of the twenty-one points of affiliation"
 Another motion on the same sub- ject says: That the Socialist party of the United States renew it's ap- plication for membership in the Communist International with the reservation that we accept no bind ing formula for the attainment or organization of the Socialist society; and retain complete autonomy in matters of membership, organiza- tion and tactics and in regard to our program and declarations regarding questions which are primarily of do- mestic concern.
 A resolution dealing with the op- posite viewpoint will be offered which states that "until such time as the Communist International has officially withdrawn the appeal for workers to leave The American So- cialist party and others of a similar import members of the Socialist Communist International or advocat- ing utilization herewith shall be sub- ject to expulsion by their respective branches"
 Another agenda motion says: "that the transitional period from capitalism to socialism may take a long time and will unavoidably be accompanied by civil strife in one form or another At such a time the new order has right to defend it. self and the Socialist-conscious pro- letarian and his party is then duty bound to disregard the formal rights of the bourgeoisie as minority of the people and build the power of

PROlETARlAT RESOLUTIONS KILLED BY CONVENTION
(By Associated Press)

DETROIT, June 27.-Seized with what Morris Hillquist described as "homicidal mania" the Socialist na- tional convention yesterday killed three resolutions which sought to de- fine the dictatorship of the prole- tariat as part of the Socialist policy and then overwhelmed two others which asserted that dictatorship is not now an issue.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-06-27

the workers as the majority, upon such strong basis and with such guarantees that the revolution could not be endangered from within.
 "This may be called the dictator ship of the proleariat, or it may be called by another name, but it will always mean the same thing, the power of the working class, express ed through the workers council, or such other organizations as grow out of conditions of the times and which will aim at the final abolition of ex- p]oitation and oppression"
 Still another motion to be present ed says: "The Socialist party of the United States advocates the die tatorship of the Proletariat. The dictatorship must be established to suppress counter revolutionary movements of the capitalists and to firmly establish the new order The working class, having captured the political power, must use that pow CT to entrench themselves as the do- minat ruling CLASS, unless such time as the appropriation of capital ist property and the abolition of in- terest, rent, and profit has eliminat- ed economic classes, class interests and class interests and class antag- onisms."
 Another motion states that "The Socialist party regards the general strike as a powerful weapon of the working classs." This motion adds however: However, considering that it requires high degree of or ganization, discipline and solidarity, it is evident that the advocacy of a general strike in the United States under present conditions is folly. Years of education and organization lie before the American working class before the general strike can 
 Political strikers are advocated in one motion but warns that it is eff. fected where there is sufficient sen- timent to insure a general and will ing compliance with the strike ord CTS and that political strikes called for light or trivial reasons are fore doomed to failure and will result in discrediting this powerful weapon
 Another motion dealing with the Socialist attitude toward organized labor says in part: "As part of the militant forces of the working class of this country, we reaffirm that ad herence to a policy of political beg ging, of political trading with the capitalists parties, on the part of the labor movement is degrading and detrimental to the interest of the workers"
 Still another motion says: 'The working class government must not hesitate to use the most vigorous methods, if necessary, to suppress forcible opposition by the minority and maintain it's supremacy The workers must not allow anything to stand in the way of their being the ruling class as long as classes or remnants of classes remain"
 Competitive motions, advoca- ting exactly the opposite view to many of these here expressed are similarly guarantted hearing un- der the "agenda" system.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Today England has divided feelings
about the United States, just as it had
during the civil war.
The aristocracy doesn't like us be-
cause we have no titles and no king,
and vet have succeeded in life. We
are bad example to their lower and
middle classes. Poor aristocrats mar
ry rich American women, but that is
only because they would rather do
anything than work for living. They
are active. brave. They will work at
politics, war, sport, but not for bread
and butter.
They think it is more honorable to
marry for money than to work for it.
Fundamentally they dislike our
style. To the British upper class all
Americans are middle class, upper
middle class, or lower class.
These British aristocrars are typi-
fled in Lord Curzon, the minister OF
foreign affairs. He is trying to re-
new the treaty of alliance between
Great Britain and Japan. He knows
that t'Nre is friction, which may de-
velop into war, between America anC
Japan. He is anxious to line w
Great Britain and Japan.
1t would probably be the policy o.
the Tory class in case of such a wa

for Great Britain not TO shoot guns
at US. She would simply "hold the
ring" and observe a benevolent neu-
trality in favor of her ally. She
would prevent an effective blockade
of Japan.
A man like Curzon, who was vic
eroy of India and had 300,000,000 In
dams PROSTATE before him, has more
sympathy with a militarist empire
than with a democratic republic.
A good long war between US and
the Japanese would weaken US both.
At the same time Great Britain
would be selling her goods to both
sides and would regain her place as
first world power.
Just now we are the first world
power and England knows it.
The middle and labor classes in
England are more sympathetic with
us. They don't want to 80 yellow
imperial power beat a white republic
They aren't really bit enthusiastic
about their lords and masters and of
ten wish that, like us, they were wei
rid of them.
1t is by working with them tina
we can get anywhere. And wher
we want to ge is to get Great Brit
ain away from Japan.

VOTING WOMEN AND LAWS.

A bill offered by Representative
Johnson of Mississippi to prohibit
smoking by female persons" in
Washington was voted down by a
majority Of "a to by women attend
ing the committee hearing on the
measure. This emphatic protest of
the women against man-made restric-
tive laws offers an interesting side
light on the development of feminine
social and political psychology. We
wish that the informal vote could
have included all the women in the
District of Columbia, or of the en-
tire United States, to let little more
light upon the effect of equal suf-
frage on the feminine mind.
One Of the women declared she had
never smoked a cirgaret in her life,
and intimated that she never expect
ed to smoke one, but asserted that it
"riled'' her to have any group of
men tell her what she should or
should not do, Sex consciousness may
have had something to do with that
attitude, but we are inclined to be-
lieve she would have been equally OPP
posed to the bill if it had been order
ed by a woman with the prospect of
being made a law by a woman. II
was the proposed restriction Of liber
ty rather than the source of that re-
strictiOn which hurt.
IF women throughout the United
States are coming to understand the
narrowing possibilities of such re-
strictive laws there is new hope fol
the future. If their realization is
due to closer contact with lawmaker:
and the making of laws through then
acquisition of equal suffrage anC
equal responsibility, the nineteenth
amendment is indeed a blessing.

NEW METHODS ADOPTED.

Something of a sensation has been |
caused in medical circles by a new
rule that was promulgated last week
by the trustees of Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore, which provides
that no matter how wealthy a patient
may be, nor how serious an operation
may be performed upon him, $1,000
must be the maximum charge that
surgeons can make.
In addition to this, it was pro-
vided that $35 a week is the utmost
that can be charged a patient for
medical attention in that institution.
In view of the fact that Johns
Hopkins hospital is one of the most
famous in the world, it is expected
shat this new rate of fees will have
widespread effect.
Already it is being discussed by
the medical profession in al parts OF
the land.
1t has been suggested that sur
geons can take their patients to some
other hospital if they desire to do so,
but, on the other hand, it is not
thought that many of them will fol-
low this course, as it would be too
plain an intimation on the part of
such doctors that they wanted to
charge their patients more than is
considered a reasonable fee in the
view Of the most competent author
ity.
1t has been the custom in some
hospitals Of good repute to make the
wealthy pay far larger sums for hav-
ing operations performed upon them
than the poorer lass of patients have
had to pay.
The Miner has understood that the
Mayo Brothers of Rochester, Mimi.
have followed this course. 1t i!
. known that they have collected thou
sands Of dollars from rich patients
. while on the other hand they hav,
: charged individuals in poor circum
stances only nominal fees.
: The theory upon which they hav
. been understood to work is that tn
. wealthy should pay for the operation
of the less fortunate. This principl
= has OCCH qulOS SStlSLdtly 1OilOWS
throughout the United States.
f. When such a leading institution a
|. that located at Baltimore sets a dead
. line beyond which no surgeon can gt
. it is predicted that all other hospital
will have to follow the lead of John
: Hopkins, or else lose prestige an
: patronage, for it goes without sayin
nc that those who charge more are Gel
tain to be considered profiteers

They are characteristic of the indi-

other hand, can very easily be legis-

we may doubt it, that the expression
of the "a women cited may be repre-
sentative of their millions of sisters

TO SAVE CHARED DOCUMENTS

Documents that have been char
red by fire are rendered readable if
collodion is poured over the charred
paper. In a few minutes this dries
and a tough transparent coating is
produced through which the printing

papers thus charred have been treat
ed in this way with success.-Mrs. H

PROPOSALS TO MEET
ULSTER OBJECTIONS
tBy Associated Press>

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The first for
NAL conference between representa-
tives of, the government and of the
Sim Fein since the meetings between
British cabinet members and the u
ster representative was held in
Downing street today Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George, Viscount Birken-
head. the lord chancellor. met Arthur
Griffith and Michael Collins. the Dali
Eireann delegates, who were accom-
panied to the prime minister's office
by canon ]. Duggan.
The government at today's confer
ence put before the Sin Feinn various
alternative proposals for meeting Ul-
ster's objection to the proposed aL-lre-
land parliament, as well as a sugges-
ton that Ulster be left temporarily
as she is while the rest of Ireland re-
ceives fiscal autonomy. which would
make it's taxation less than that of
Ulster.
The Sim Fein publicity department,
however, declares the Dali Eirean can
consent to none of these plans. The
all-Ireland parliament, it declares,
must be estab blished at the outset and
not postponed for any term of years.
1t likewise insists that the parliament
must be so constituted that Ulster
shall not have more than her proper
tional representation in the body.
