U. S. TO DOMINATE WORLD
TRADE UNDER NEW ORDER
Member of English p Parliament
Says America Will Soon Be
Dominating Force
BY Clyde A. Beals

Omitted Press STAFF Correspondent
London, Sept. Sir Edgar Reese
Jones, English author, lawyer and
member of parliament who has just
returned from the United States,' sees
America as coming to be a tremend-
Gus force in the markets of the world
through the thoroughness and vigor
of the people.
1.-The resources OF America in pro-
duction, in finance and in the geat
qualities Of her people," said Sir Ed
gar, must mean, when the world set
ties down, that she will be a tremend-
Gus force in the markets of the world,
and probably dominating force. :"
Sir Edgar feels, on the whole, how
ever, that America Is at persent in a
maze of financial and industrial dit
ticulties. Her expanded mercantile
fleet, he pointed out, has become Il
financial drain. Great quantities of
eXportable goods were stored in ware
houses with no demand, and in some
cases owing to the stagnant markets,
goods had even been returned to
America.

American banking methods We're not

FEAR TRAINING OF
y. YOUTH MEANS WAR
BY Carl d. Groat%t a
{JTpita1 praSu Gfnff rnrcaern ~ n

NUnlteQ fTeSS StulE correspondent
Berlin. Sept. 1.-Pacifists believe
the old war-making crowd is trying
to train German youth for a new
'kreig," through compulsory physi-
cal culture. ~, >, u:
The draft of law which the ma
tional committee for physical culture
has made had led them to believe this
law would merely be substitute for
the compulsory service law, now dead.
This draft provides that children
shall be trained throughout their
school years until they become of age.
and that no one shall have papers
for working positions unless he can
prove he has fulfilled the necessary
training, either in schools, in turn
or sport societies.
The Versailles treaty provides
against organization Of societies for
war training.
And the pacihsts contend this new
law would not only serve to upbuild
the youth for a new war, but would
place restrictions on the freedom
with which a workman could get a
position. On the other hand, pro-
motors hold that it is well to build
q strong nation, and point to the
overwhelming postwar sport move
ment as evidence that Germany wants
Bodybuilding.
The "Freiheit," organ Of the 1nde-
pendent Socialists, writes: 1--WE do
not desire to appear to be enemies of
sport; we have too often asserted
that for workers it is advisable to
have a harmonious upbuilding of the
body. Labor, however, would do well
to remember that it is high time to
make UP for the war losses in spir-
itual strength"
