When One Traveller
Returns

NlR CONAN DOYLE is telling
- America what he knows
~ about life beyond the grave.
Like Sherlock Holmes, he has
pieced together bits of evidence.
He is a thorough believer in mes
sages from the dead. He is earn
est, sincere, forceful; and what he
says, therefore, deserves respect
full hearing.
When traveller returns to
civilization, after living for long
while in some out-of- f-the-way, un-
explored land, he tells his story.
He describes the character of the
country, its people and their lives.
He tells it clearly, vividly, def
nitely. He seems to know just
what interests us most. He
answers, satisfactorily and con-
vincingly. every question.
Why, when travellers return
from the dead, according to the
spiritualists, do we not get equal
ly satisfying answers? Why are
the big fundamental questions
answered vaguely, occultly, in
devious words that may mean
anything or nothing? Why do
they give chaff and retain the
grain for themselves7 Why are
they contradictory as we'll as
illusivc7
Such poor reports from spirit
tourists make their reports doubt
full to say the least.

Britain Fights
Our Shipping
THE SHIPPING BOARD is


fighting for a subsidy from
Congress to help the Ameri-
can Merchant Marine get on its
feet.
1t is England's game to defeat
that subsidy legislation. She
wants to retain her monopoly of
the worlds carrying trade.
Into the mouths of those who
ignorantly speak for England, her
conscious and unconscious propa-
gandists put such words as these:
"Why governmental aid to
American ships? England's
merchant marine Was built up
without the aid of the British
treasury"
Not true. The British treasury
has dipped deep and disbursed
freely to its ship lines.
For example, in 1901, j. P.
Morgan formed the International
Mercantile Marine Company, a
trust designated to eliminate COM
petition in the North. Atlantic
trade. All major British lines
came in except the Cunard. The
British government induced the
Cunard to stay out by presenting
it with the Mauretania and the
Lusitania. The government loaned
$12, 100000 for those ships at pa
per cent interest, then gave the
Cunard an admiralty subvcntion
equal to the annual interest and
amortization charges on the loan.
That kept Mr.. Morgan from
getting a monopoly of the North
Atlantic trade. The Cunard, thus
subsidized, was nearly as strong
as the Morgan combine.
Then the British government
got Mr.. Morgan in London and
made him sign an agreement that
he would transfer none of his pur-
chased ships from the British to
the American flag, and that he
would in general take orders from
the British Board of Trade as to
the conduct of the International
Mercantile Marine pany.
After faithful observance of these
orders, Morgan was rewarded by
being made British fiscal agent
during the World War.
Don't let anyone tell you that
the British merchant marine was
developed without help from the
British government. That gov
ernment has always helped in two
ways: (1) money support and
(2) constant propaganda in this
country to prevent the develop
ment of our shipping.

The Unheeded Call
By S. f. KISER.

COMRADE, why be Juggling here,
~ Claiming neither rest nor peace.
Where the price of pleasures dear
And the troubles never cease?
Why be serving through the days
In the ceaseless whir and hum?
Yonder there are peaceful ways
That are gently calling, Come"
WONDER there are pastures wide,
l. Over which sweet scents are blown,
Where no children are denied
Pleasures that should be their own
Yonder unpolluted brooks
Wind at leisure to the sea;
Yonder there are cordial hooks
Calling coaxingly to me.
WHY be driven daily here,
w Where the busy city roars;
Where the night brings tragic fear
And the people lock their doors;
Where the toiler, wan and bent,
Shambles homeward through the gloom;
Here, where youth is quickly spent
And the soul dies, lacking room?
WONDER there are roads that wind
l. Lesurely by dale and hill.
Far ahead and far behind;
Yonder there is freedom still.
There no warning shouts are heard
And no warning factions clash;
There ambition is not stirred
Only by the wish for cash.
CoMRADE, will you fare with me
y Out upon the peaceful slopes,
Where a man may still be free
To indulge in manly hopes?
All, well! if it must be So,
Let the long roads call in vain;
Come, then, it is time to go
Back to drudgery again.

What PreUents Russian
RECOGNITION.

THE Secretary of State tells us
that the United States will
. not recognize Russia until
business conditions are stabilized
in that country.
We recognized Russia under the
Car, when she had no business
conditions at all, and when his
dark and cruel tyranny kept the
largest and most fertile part of
Europe a wilderness and nearly
two hundred million people in the
darkest kind of ignorance and SUI
perstition; when, to keep them
from overthrowing the govern
ment, his agents, almost yearly,
made it a practice to get the
ignorant peasants drunk and set
them on the Jews, to murder by
the hundreds of thousands.
We recognized that kind of a
government and honored its repre-
sentatives. But we will not
recognize the government whose
representatives are educating the
children of Russia and feeding
them before they feed themselves.
We will not recognize such a
government because the interna-
tional bankers will not let us,
until Russia agrees to make con
cessions which will enable these
bankers to exploit that great en-
pire.

The Keys to
World Trade
<kC HIPS, ships and yet more
~ ships!" was the cry of

- ships!" was the cry of
Great Britain in 1917, when
she sat impotently watching the
submarines send her food carriers
to the bottom of the sea. The
Island Empire was crumbling.
Well, we provided the ships.
We filled them with food. Our
destroyers controlled the ocean
lanes and sank the submarines.
We saved England from starva-
ton. Then we sent an army over
and won her war in France.
What shall we do with the
ships, now that they are built and
the war is over? Use them for
developing our trade! That is
what any normal, sensible nation
would do. That is what we shall
do unless Congress accepts the
British propaganda, repeated by
Little Americans, urging that we
scrap our merchant marine and
let Great Britain do our oversee
carrying, as before the war.
This is how the Little Ameri-
cans propose to do it: They pro-
pose to refuse to grant the ship
subsidy necessary to make up the
difference in operating costs be-
tween American and British lines
DURING THE PERIOD WHEN
THE AMERICAN ORGANIZA-
TIONS ARE BEING BUILT UP.
There is hardly an industry in
the country which cannot get pro
lection from foreign competition
in our customs tariffs. Yet Con
gress is full of Little Americans
who refuse protection to the most
important industry Of all, the key
to our destiny. The British free
trade argument is seen through
except when it is applied to the
most vital of all our interests.
We won't let her make our ma
chine tools and steel rails. Why
in heavens name let her deter
mine whether and on what terms
we shall send our machine tools
and steel rails to the rest of the
world?
If we throw away this oppor-
tunity to establish merchant ma
rine on a sound and permanent
basis, we shall not deserve the
leadership among nations to
which we aspire.
Long ago Sir Walter Raleigh
said that the country which has
the ships of the world controls
the trade of the world and SC
the world itself.
Great Britain is no fool. Why
let her make one out of us7
