REEL" AMERICANIsM.

Propaganda productions have been
unwelconle to moving picture producers
until very recently. '*People 90 to
the theater to be entertained. They
don't want to be lectured,'' has been
their argument. But now this atti-
tude is changing. The National Asso-
citation OF the Motion Picture Industry
has an EAmericanism Committee to
push production of strictly propaganda
in pictures. The committee s idea Of
"Americanism is an unquestioning,
docile acceptance Of economic condi-
tions as they are, and an irresistible
inclination to indulge in unrestrained
violence toward all who would better
them. The committee believes further
more that this is the spirit that con-
gress wishes to propagate, for the pub
licity director Of the Metro Pictures
Corporation Of New York city puts at
the head Of his announcements to the
press that the work is Gin co-opera.
ton with the congress of the United
States.''
1t takes at least two to cooperate
So, according 10 the Metro Pictures
Corporation, congress is cooperating in
burlesque performance For instance,
one OF the plays, entitled, ''Strangers,
Beware,'' has for it's hero the familiar
hbelous stage caricature Of an Irish
man who spends his spare time about
pool room, but one evening attends
mass meeting at which lecture is
announced on "Whv There is So Much
Poverty in America.' His sweetheart
is worried about his going to so "dan-
gerous' place. Later in the even-
ing she passes by the hall, and noting
disturbance inside, calls the police.
The officers find that the hero has,
single-handed, thrasbed the entire au--
dience. His excuse is that "these
thievin' foreigners were knockin ,
America.''
Inc pay may portray an example
OF reel Americanisln, but certainly not
OF the real article. If congressman
are cooperating in efforts to discourage
discussion Of the cause of poverty in
America they ought to tell their con-
stltuents so. Since a majority Of these
constituents are poor, they ought to
warn them that such discussion renders
participants liable to the charge of
"knockin' America and to the pen
atty Of physical assault by any ignor-
ant ho0dlum. If it is not true that
this propaganda is in cooperation with
congress, then there should be a COM
gressional investigation of the Gamer
icanism Committee to determine
whether some financial interest, not
otherwise connected with motion pic
lures, is not responsible for such pro-
ductions An interest which objects
to free discussion Of the cause Of Amer
lean poverty must be profting from
economic misfortune of Americans.

MILITARISM DEFIANT.

Everywhere the people plead for re-
lief from the intolerable burdens of
war and preparations for war and
everywhere the militarists mock them.
"It is to laugh!' sneered Mai. Gen.
Robert Lee Billiard in the course Of a
speech against disarmament before the
National Republican Club of New York
few days ago.
"Disarmament,'' said he, *'would
mean for us the abandonment of OH
financial superiority over all other ma.
tions.'
That was a clever bid by a pro-
fessional soldier for the support of the
money monarchs of Manhattan. It
made hit and the general was cheered

HIGH TARIFF MOBILES
BEFORE WORLD MARKET

Because big business has visions of
world markets it is abandoning the
theory that Chinese wall, in the
form Of high tariff, must protect this
country from foreign competition, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia North
American.
Former high tariff advocates know
that if commodities Of other nations
are barred, those nations will retaliate
and the prospects of world markets is
destroyed. II is even whispered that
the steel trust has come to the conclu-
sion that it can compete against the
world and the pauper labor bugaboo
has lost its force as this labor can be
imported as needed, while the coun-
tries that supply the pauper labor can
be made customer of American steel
if no barrier is placed against its pro-
ducts.
This city is the home of men who
have advocated the highest tariff bar
riers possible, but the change from
national capitalism to international
capitalism by these and other business
men is Indicated in a long editorial in
the North American which says in
part:
j. Among the advocates of a modern
lied tariff they will find some power
full interests and industrial conlbina-
tons whose prosperity was built up
under high protection, but whose pro-
duction has outgrovn the home mar
ket and whose future is dependent
upon the Development of foreign
trade.
''They will find in the ranks of
the moderate protectionists great
banking interests, which in the past
contributed heavily to campaign
funds on the high tariff issue. but
whose horizon has been widened and
whose field of operations has been
vastly extended in recent years. Prom
inent among these will be interna-
tional banking houses which have sold
hundreds of millions of dollars worth
OF European government loans, re-
deemable only through. the expansion
Of commercial relationships and the
exchange of goods fostered by lower
tariff"

We feel impelled to call attention
10 the fact that widespread impress
sion exists that the present "open
shop campaign is inspired in many
quarters by antagonism to organized
labor Any such attempt must be
viewed with apprehension by fair
minded people. 1t seems incumbent
upon Christian employers to scrutin-
lze carefully any movement, however
plausible, which is likely to result In
denying to workers such affiliation as
will in their Judgment, best safeguard
their interests and promote their well
fare, and not to precipate disastrous
industrial conflicts at tine when the
country needs good will and co-oper-
alton.

WANDERING AROUND.

The anti union and open shop en-
ployers and advocates now call their
scheme the American plan.' These
Guack patriots commercialize the most
holy ideal Of this country and brazen}y
call on the shades of men who have
lived the life Of service to endorse
cheap wages, child labor, and the denial
Of human rights. The real patriot is
unselfsh; the quack would control the
lives Of others. One inspires; the other
is visionless.
The quack s Americanism is lip ser.
vice and big profits. He favors free
speech-but not for those who dis
agree with him. He favors a free
press-when it is silent OH wrongs that
are profitable to him. He believes in
the education Of children-but fills his
factory with child labor. He talks Of
freedom, but wants to feudalize Amer
lea. He glories in the progress Of this
country, but plays no part in its social
or intellectual development. To him
government is a thing for private use.
Its only purpose is to grant special
privilege and "keep labor in its place. -
The counting room patriotism of these
cheap wage employers cannot be fused
with the Declaration of independence.
Paternalism in the workshop and vot.
ing booth-liberty is not democracy.
Freedom is not actual where indi-
vidual bargaining, such as the Gamer

tolls. Patriotism is unreal amidst in.

ing in nations aspirations. The
youth of the land should not have
their ideals debascd by market-place
hagglers who below patriotism as they
barter with unorganized, defenseless
workers. Men must live Americanism
TO be Americans. The pretense of
quack patriots should be condemned,
and is by all right-thinking and right
minded people. Every time one Of
this ilk wandcrs around among men,
pouring the phials of poison, honest
people experience a sinking feeling.
In conjunction with this notorious
scheme to defraud the worker comes
the war on the closed shop. A COM
pletely subsidized press lends itself ad-
mirably to the dissemination Of care
fully prepared news items, editorials
and cartoons for the assimilation of
the gullible public. So cleverly is this
done that even the worker himself is
often misled. How many people know
that instead Of fighting against the
closed shop the employers are in real
ity fighting for the closed shop. The
people are glibly told that employers
have no objection to organizations Of
employees, but they do object to being
told they cannot hire whom they please.
That sounds most reasonable and logi-
cal, and people wisely wag their heads
and exclaim: 'Most assuredly that
is only right.''' But, alas, that isn't
even remotely related to the real issue.
Employers, universally, exercise that
right. The worker il utterly unable

is to destroy all effective labor unions

CIVIC FEDERATION (WHICH.
HUNTING,'

The National Civic Federation has
joined forces with Gary and other op-
pressors of labor to check the rising
tide of liberalism in the Christian
churches.
A special committee representing the
federation announces that 'sprea chers
OF radical and revolutionary doctrines'
have secured foothold in the Pres
byterian, Methodist and Episcopal
churches and have made some progress
in the Catholic church. A few ex-
IRENE cases are cited to sustain the
committees highly sensational findings.
While the committee does not men,
ton the 1nterchurch report on the steel
strike and the scathing expose of the
un-American' "open shop'' movement
by the Catholics Welfare Council, it is
only too evident it desired to discredit
both.
The committee attempts to t|sugar-
coat" its report by proclaiming its
sympathy for .''legitimate'' labor or
CARNATIONS, but the workers cannot be
deceived by such hypocrisy.
