PARIS PAPER SEES U. S.-JAPENESE WAR.
 PROBABLY IN 1924
French Labor Organ Predicts America Will Strike Before
 Nippons Navy Is Strong.

Paris, Feb. 18.-"Before the end of | 1924, and probably in 1924, the world will see a new universal war unless ! before that time the people, having | made themselves masters of their own destiny, shall have cast off their bad shepherds and forced worldwide dis armament" says Le Peuple, the organ of the French General Confederation of Labor
 The newspapers asserts this war will be fought primarily between the United States and Japan and will be forced upon the latter by the Harding admin an opportunity of reaching it's maxi mum power.
 (The present Japanese building pro- gram will not be completed until 1o28.)
 The article further states that despite the present tension between England and America owing to the shipping question, oil rivalry and the Irish situa ton, the two countries are founded up on the same basis, and all disagreement will, therefore, disappear as soon as the British overthrow their present capital istiC government and substitute labor rule.
 Le Peup1es opinion is of peculiar in terest as the paper Is anti-Bolshevik. representing the conservative wing of French labor.
 The European capitalistic press is announcing daily Bolshevik offensive against Poland and the rest of Europe," 1t says, but 1t is strangely silent re- garding the preparations being made for the great war between Japan and North America, struggle which will loose a new world war. We have shown how the economic and political situa- ton of Japan pushes her inevitably to- ward this struggle unless before its outbreak, the masses of Western Europe, and especially the British La Dor Party, attain control and impose a disarmament program upon the rest of the world"
 After showing the growth of capital ism i'll the United States and Japan dur ing the war, Le Peuple continues:
 Tn the chase for wealth American capitalists are rivalled first by the Brit ish and then by the Japanese. Those of France and Italy do not count and those of Germany, momentarily hors de com bat, have allied themselves with the Americans Today we are witnessing a veritable race between these two latter, and the British for the conquest of the Russian markets.
 Wilson will soon be replaced by Harding. the republican i1nperia1ist agent of great capitalists. Commercial relations will then be resumed with the BOlshevists, as they have already been resumed indirectly The government will sustain the Vanderlip concessions, even against Japan, an end deeply de- sired by Lenine, of whom Japanese i'm perlalism is the redoubtab1e enemy"
 The article concludes:
 The Japanese fleet will be at it's maximum in 1925. but 1t is improbable the American gov ernrent will wait un- til then to unloose the war, especially at Hardings term ends on March 4, 1925, and the presidential elections oc- cur before the end of 1924 Under these circumstances internal politics will force the North American government to make this war before the end of 1924"

FEDERAL EMPLOYES
 UNION GROWS FAST
Now Has 226 Locals Established in United States and
 Possessions.

The National Federation of Federal Employees, of which Federal Employees Union No. 1855, of this city, is a part, has just chartered its 226th local, and now has eight locals outside the con- tinental territory of the United States, that is, in our insular possessions, the Canal Zone, Alaska and on foreign soil. The federation shows growth of more than 1000 members in the past seven months, or an average rate of more than thousand a month, according to the report of the national secretary-treas- urcr, E. J. Newmyer.
 Locals at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and few days ago. The six others outside States are at Montreal, Canada; Balboa and Cavite. P. l.; ketchikan, Alaska ; San Juan, Porto Rico
 Secretary Newmyer expects in the near future to establish locals in Paris, London, Shanghai, and various South American cities, where there are num- bers of United States employees in the consular and commercial branches of the government.
 State and sectional conferences of the organized employees, already held and some to be held, are resulting in plans for state federations of federal en- ployes under the National Federation. The Texas federation has already been formed, and the Maryland, Ohio, New England and New Jersey locals, re- spectively, have similar plans under con- siderat1On.

SHUTDOWN OF FACTORIES
 DELIBERATELY PLANNED
Two Years Ago Governor Cox of Ohio Heard of the Despicable Scheme and Warned the Ma tion-Unemployment Is "Man- ufactured.

Two years ago a great plan was de- veloped by the big business organ1za- tions of the United States to close down industry at the proper time and by creating mighty unemployed problem, beat down wages to the pre- war levels and destroy the unions Ii possible.
 Early in March >of 1919, President Wilosn called a conference at Wash ington to discuss industrial peace and reconstruction. There were 3S goVer- nors and about 200 mayors or repre- sentatives at that meeting.
 The first day was given over to speeches by the governors, who re- sponded as the names of their state weer called. Although the manager ot the conference really wanted the gov ernors to give some kind of report as to the state of affairs i'll their respective states, the speeches were purely pollti- cal until Ohio was called.
 Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, re- sponded to the call for Ohio and his speech made great sensation. Four- teen minutes after he concluded the con- ference declared a recess while 1t ten dered Cox an ovation. The more rad ical delegates crowded around Cox and congratulated him upon his speech:
 Governor Cox charged that the Cham Der of Commerce of the state of Ohio was deliberately planning shutdown of industry at the right time with the object of forcing wages down and 1n- timidating the workers.
 Governor Cox said:
 q wish I could speak as hopefully as my brother governors. wish cond1- tions in the state of Ohio were as prom ising as they seem to be in the other states, but I must state what 1 know and believe. 1 have no wish to cast any odium on any other state. What 1 shall say I am conhning to the state of Ohio. In my state, the state Chamber ot Commerce is planning state wide shut down of industry in order to force wages down. I am very much opposed to any such scheme. It is charged with great danger to this nation. If this plan succeeds and extends to other states if it becomes nationwide then l fear grave trouble in this land. Any organ ized attempt to beat labor down. any effort to lower decent American hV1ng conditions will be bitterly resisted.

COLUMBIA VARSITY
 HEAVIEST IN YEARS

Columbia seems well on the sroad toward having one of the biggest crews in it's history According to statis- tics compiled by Jim Rice, the veteran coach, the first eight at present aver ages 176 pounds to the man and is well over the six foot mark in height. No less than four of the oarsmen boast an altitude of six feet three inches, while the heaviest man in the shell tips the beam at 188 pounds.
 Rice has been envious of the rangy, powerful lads on the Annapolis crew for some time and his one desire has been to get together at least eight individuals of similar build and weld them into smooth working combina- ton. Rice's dream seems well under way to success, and the candidates he now has, should go a long way to-

But he has been anticipated. The
thing we already have 1t is to be
found in the Senate's Committee on
Foreign Relations. This consists of
seventeen members. AS the Demo-
cratic Senators do not count, con-
troll lies with the ten Republican
Senator'S. A majority of them would
be six. These six-say, Lodge, Borah
Brandegee, Knox, Johnson, Moses
really decide everything. They set
asidt the President. They dictate to

better than thirty could. And if one
were to charge them with setting

they would not denp the soft i'm
