WAR Is EXPENSIVE

Big army and navy advocates are
much disturbed because the facts
regarding government expenditures
have at last reached the public. The
citizens of the country have learned
with alarm that 1874 per cent of
the total appropriations of the
United States government for the
fiscal year 1921 went to pay the
costs of past wars and to prepare
for future wars.
1t is necessary to cover up these
disturbing facts somehow so the
army propagandists are regrouping
the years figures and spreading
them over the country in an effort
to hide the important facts. The
costs of the World War, compris-
ing 52.2 per cent of the whole bud
get are grouped together conspic-
uously as though they were an en-
tirely separate item. Beside them
are placed the amounts of the
current appropriations for the Army
and Navy be way of contrast, but
not with the idea that they should
be considered together. They are
to be taken separately; there is to
be no relation in the readers mind
between war costs and costs for
maintenance and enlargement of
the military machine. All emphasis
is laid on the $450,000,000 appro-
priated for the Navy and the $41S,-
100000 for the Army which to-
gether amount to 1873 per cent of
the whole expenditures of the gov
ernment. The public is to think
the only important fact is that the
Services get so small an amount of
the whole. 1t is not pointed out
that even this 1873 per cent is
more than half again as much as
the entire amount that was spent
for constructive purposes for the
whole year. Less than twelve dol
lars out of every hundred spent by
the government in the fiscal year
1921 went for construction. The
balance went to pay the costs of
past destruction and to prepare for
more, or, in other words, to pay
war costs.
That is the fact the militarists
would cover up and that is what
the taxpayer has found out. Hav-
ing learned where over three
fourths of his taxes go no amount
of whitewashing of the facts is
going to silence his protests. Those
protests are pouring into Washing
ton from all sides. He is demand
ing results from the conference
about to meet in that city; results
which shall mean a real reduction
in the armament burden of the
world.

The recent world war was costly
proposition in every respect, no mat
ter which way we look at it.
The loss of life from 1914 to 1918
is given as follows:
Killed in battle.................. 1868, 900
Deaths by disease, famine,
etc. .................-.........-... 30,470,OOO
Total loss of man power 50,128,0 900
The loss in property is estimated
at over 000,000,00 and the cost
in money at over $186, 100000 1000.
Comparing the national debts we
find the following:

Great Britain ...... $35l ,O44OOO $l,12l,31S,0OO
Japan .................. $93576,OOO $2S2. 1000
The enormous cost of the war to
the United States in 1919 and 1920
is estimated at "a per cent of the
entire income of the United States
Government leaving only 6 per cent
for other purposes.
Is it any wonder then that the
recent great war aroused the peo-
pies of all nations to the fact that
war must cease, that it must be a
thing of the past, that it must never
be resorted to again in the settle
ment of disputes between nations?
The American Federation of Labor,
the mouth-piece of the organized
wage workers of our country, be-
lieves that through Just dealing and
unselfish service the peoples of all
nations can achieve true welfare and
Greatness. 1t believes in a warless
world. 1t believes in sweeping re
duction of armaments. It took de-
ided stand on these questions at
he Seattle Convention in 1913 when
it urged the Labor Movements of
other countries top revail upon their
respective governments to use every
means at their command to bring
about international disarmament as
a preventative OF future wars.
At its annual convention in 1914
it pledged itself "to support any plan
which has for its purpose the bring
ng about of the disarmament Of all
nations to the furthest extent con-
'istent for the preservation of law
and order throughout the world"
At its Convention in 1919 it de-
clared that:
"The trade union movement is un-
alterably and emphatically opposed
TO militarism or a large standing
army. Militarism is a system fos-
cred and developed by tyrants in
the hope of supporting their arbi-
trary authority. 1t is utilized by
those whose selfish ambitions for
power and worldly glory lead them
70 invade and subdue other peoples
and nations, to destroy their Hber-
ties, to acquire their wealth and to
fasten the yoke of bondage upon

head OF the German defence forces in
Upper Silesia, is quoted in the Muench
ene1- Neueste Ndchrichten as saying
Gen. Lerond (head of the Inter-Allied
Commission) seeks to avoid useless
blood letting. but / am convinced that
the blood spared now will later flow
until Silesia is bathed in red.
when ! asked Gen. Gautier to per-
NIT the German troops to be held until
the Entente could reestablish order he
said: Then the Poles would make an
other north of France out of Upper
Silesa.'
"NIy convictions, however, are that
any negotiations with the bandits would
only encourage them. and on our part
world be pure self-deception. The
British are ready to strike. but their
hands are tied by the Inter-Allied Com
mission"
In conclusion Won Ifoefer declared
that the German troops in Upper Silesie
now outnumber the Entente forces.
According to the semi-official Wolf
Bureau the Inter-Allied Commission has
decided to cease all military opera
tions looking to the reestablishment oi
order in Upper Silesia until the German
self-defence organizations withdraw
from the territory recently occupied

ENGINEERS STRIKE
IN BRITAIN AYERTED
Government Induces Employ
crs to Postpone Lockout
Notices Till June 30.
BIZ the Associated Press.

LONDON, June Is. - Steps toward
averting a great engineer stoppage. ar
fecting 100000 men. we're taken this
morning when the Minister of Labor.
Thomas MacNamara, held conference
with representatives of the employers
and employees. AS a result the en-
ployers agreed to postpone issuing lock-
out notices from tomorrow until the
end of June, in order to enable the union
to submit the employers latest pro-
posals to ballot.
Government Intervention was decided
upon after negotiations between the en-
ployers and employees on proposed
wage reductions broke down yesterday.
Between $4,000 and 100000 British
miners to-day voted on the proposals of
the mine owners for the settlement of
the coal diggers' strike which has been
in progress since April 1. The result will
be announced Friday.
The owners final proposals included
the establishment of a new standard
minimum wage by raising the 1914 scale,
or that of 1919 in the case of piece
workers, by 90 per cent. 1t was pro-
vided that this percentage would be cal
culated on the output for March, 1921,
and would continue in effect for twelve
months The owners offered to surrender
Hneir pr ofits proportionately to the as
sistance received by the various districts,
and new districts would, If the proposals
should be accepted, redistribute the dis
trcts on an economic instead of a geo.
graphic basis. A national wage board
would then determine the ratio of profits
to wages in each district.
