 Despite this evidence Japan has been the leading objector to the pro cedure although on the face of the figures referred to the Japanese have everything to gain and nothing to lose by an economy program; for, Tn spite of the comparatively enormous increase in that countrys prosperity during the war, Japan is staggering today under an armament program which still is short of what the Japanese "junkerS'' would like to have it. There are strong reasons, however, for not only showing pru dence in attempting to compete with other nations in an armament race. but in Japan endeavoring to secure from the other nations an agreement to discontinue to present schedule.
 One reason is that it costs the Jap anese subject just eight times as much

1t is stated that at the outbreak of
the February revolution in 1917 there
We're in all Russia only three unions,
which had a combined membership of
but 1885. With the downfall of the
czar's government a tremendous trade
union renaissance took place. Millions
of workers streamed into the organi-
cations.
The following table will show the
progress of the movement to its pre-

practically the entire Russian working

Second Article.


II am doing we'll; but, for Gods
sake, send me a few dollars" wrote
home chap who had gone out into
the world to make his fortune. And
Birdie Perlstein is in the same cage.
He had established kiss-and make
up relations between the Cleveland
cloak manufacturers and the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union. And now he is appealing for
the little sum Of 100000 dollars 'to
save the gains the union has made in
the past few years."
So reports the "Jewish Daily For
ward" Cleveland Edition) for Au-
gust 1.
"And money" says the article in
the forward, "isnt all. More than
money is needed in the present crisis.
Every member of the union must be
on the alert. 1t depends upon the
watchfulness OF the members whether
it will be victory without fight or
long struggle against The manu-
facturers."
Compare this help-me-or-I-die with
the Hurrah! of the article in System
from which I quoted last week the
following pat on Perlstein's shoulder:
"He had passed the fighting stage Ia
great complimentD in his work and
he had brought himself mentally o
the constructive stage"
Now recall what last weeks article
said about the meaning Of construct
i've as it is used by Big Business. Con-
sidering the 100000 dollar campaign,
It is worth repeating. Here it is:

A Conversation of
the Waves.
D., uENJDV nav

The sun was setting On the lake.
The murmur of the waves could be
heard as they Tapped against the
shore. They were talking among
themselves. One wave said:
at is beautiful here; where are the
people? Have they no taste for the
beautiful"
"This is a week day." said another
wave in reply. "The people are work.
ing. They are too tired to think of
beauty"
All the waves grew sad upon hear
ing that and rolled on slowly, as if
the news that people were so dulled
and worn out by work that they lose
all taste for the beautiful. Then a
little baby wave asked:
"But where are the children? Sure
ly they don't work. They are not
worn out; why do they not come here
to enjoy the beauty and coolness that
we bring?"
"You don't know life," said a big,
experienced wave. "When the parents
are dulled and crushed and worn out
by work, there is no happiness for
their children, even when they do not
work. And many of them do work
Childhood now is not what it used to
be long, long ago, when Indians lived
around here. Then"
II remember it," another wave
broke in. "I remember how the In.
dian children used to play along the
shore of this lake. They were happy
Father hunting, mother working
around the wigwam; but they were
carefree. They ran around, rolling or
the beach, splashing in the water
That was childhood"
yes" another wave said, "that
was childhood. Now. 80. / just got
here from the river-you know thai
twisted, yellow, muddy river thai
keeps on bathing in the lake, but
never gets clean-f just came from
there, and noticed the shacks along
the river; people live in them, chill
dren grow up in them, in dirt, ir
smoke, without breath of pure air
That is the white mans childhood"
"Not all of it," a wave protested
Look at the big houses along tht
lake front, and
"Count them," said wave that rol
led by, "count them. Then count tn,

BIRDIE PERLsTE|N ',,,,,'' ',.'',,

means such an arrangement of af-
fairs, that if the worker can't be hyp.
Noticed into submitting to the blood
sucking operation, he can be knocked
down and tied to the operating table
of exploitation"
So it comes out that Meyer PERL
stein wants 100000 dollars to fight
the very thing to which "he had men,
tally brought himself" to support.
Will he, then, admit that he is only
little bird that had mutual interested
itself into the belly of big cat and
is now making vain efforts to get
out? No!
The forward" article-which means
Birdie Perlstein-says:
"The mere fact that the proud cloak
manufacturers of Cleveland are hand
ling the matter so carefully shows how
strong is the cloak makers union and
what respect the manufacturers have
for it,"
Hey, Charlie Chaplin! Come here
and take lesson in real comedy.
Now, let's see how the manufact-
urers "got" Birdie Perlstein. In doing
that we'll have to 60 from the mild
words we used until now to really
sharp expression, so l wish to draw
at this point line between Meyer
Perlstein the human being and Birdie
Perlstein, the creature Of capitalist
corruption.
Our fight is against Birdie PERL
stein, the symbol of bought -and-paid-
for union officialdom.
Some Of those officials are hard
boiled. Their terms are C. o. d.
do not class Birdie Perlstein with
them. Big Business pays cash only
when it has to; Birdie Perlstein, with
his priggish notion that he Is a great
man, could be bought in another way.
It can be told best in the words Of
the great psychologist--and real 100
per cent American-William James:
"Neither threats nor pleadings can
move a man unless they touch some
one Of his potential or actual selves.
Only thus can we, as a rule, get a
purchase on another's will. The fist
care Of diplomatists and monarchs
and all those who wish to rule or
influence is, accordingly, to find out
their victims strongest principle or
self-regard, SO as to make that the
fulcrun Of all appeal.
And Birdie Perlstein's strongest
principle Of self-regard" is a prig.
gish notion that he IL great man,
