UNREST I'M EGYPT

The policy of incorporation with
the British, which is causing so much
trouble to the crown in India, has now
spread to Egypt. Clashes between
British forces and natives have result
ed in considerable bloodshed already,
the reason probably being that Eng
land hopes to head off this policy be-
fore it gets as much of hold on the
Egyptians as it has on the Hindus.
Signers of the proclamation of nom
cooperation have been arrested. The
manifesto reads in part, God forbid
that your bodies should touch English
goods after today and your hands CO.
operate with any Englishmen"
The homeopathic policy is espe-
cially effective for the opponents of
British domination because it strikes
at the chief object of the domination
The great nations of the world grab
colonies and spheres of influence to
make markets for their big manufac-
turers Native industries are discrim.
mated against and rival trade by other
powers is prevented to large extern

LADD'S BILL VITAL

Roger Babson, well-knOwn statisti-
cal expert, who maintains service
for large business men on the trend
of conditions, has sent his wealthy
clients an interesting statement of
what would happen If a cheap method
of making gold were discovered
According to Mr. Babson, it would
not make any great difference to
banks as banks, but it would result in
the control of the world passing from
lenders to producers.
1t is interesting to find Babson max
ing the assertion as if it were a mat
ter CT course that the world at the
present time is now controlled by
lenders. Every effort is generally
made to conceal this fact from the
public and the consequent fact that
these lenders dictate the government
policy of the United States
The great mass of our citizens
would profit if control were to pass
from lenders to producers, because
nearly all of us are producers in mine.
factory, store or on the farm. Nearly
all those we call business men have
to borrow money from the lenders"
to carry on their business. The pres
ent depression, due to forced defation,
is striking example of the control
of the country by the lenders"
One might well ask why we should
wait for the possibility of making
cheap gold to transfer dominion and
power" from small circle OF multi
millionaires to the great producing
classes of the country The Laid bill
now before the senate opens way
for producer independence and power.
If the producers Of the country will
back it UP sufficiently to pass it, they
will not have to wait for the bare pos
sibility of discovering cheap gold

MELLON URGES SALES TAX

Secretary of Treasury Mellon has
again taken the position opposed to
the soldiers bonus unless it is paid
for by means of a. sales or consump-
ton tax on the plain people.
He reports that the bonus would
cost not less than $50 million in the
first two years but that it would be
dangerous in the extreme to issue
bonds for this amount or to depend
upon the proceeds from our European
war debt.
He advanced the point that if any
thing is obtained from this foreign
war debt that it should be applied to
pay off Liberty bond holders. 1t may
surprise some that the government
which allowed its bonds to fall away
below par after the plain people had
bought them in such large quantities
should suddenly take so much interest
in these bond holders. The explana-
ton may lie in the fact that the bonds
have been bought up very largely by
financiers.
The whole trend of the Mellon ad-
vice, however, is not SO much against
the soldier bonus as to create propa-
ganda for the idea that sales tax is
the only reasonable method of meet
ing the expense.

Church and Labor.

John Hearley, field secretary of the
National Catholic Welfare Council,
had some interesting things to say in
the recent issue of America" which
is said to be the leading Catholic
weekly in this country. Catholic
workmen had taken exception to the
speeches of some lecturers under the
auspices of the Knights Of Columbus.
The workmen wanted to know wheth-
er the Catholic church opposed union
ism and collective bargaining.
Mr.. Hearley declared that for many
months he has been privately accus-
ing Mr. Goldstein, one of the lecturers,
of blurring the line between Catholic
ism and modern capitalism. He says
that he referred the puzzle workmen
to the apostolic church where brother
hoods were so real that possessions
were held in common. He mentioned
the Guild system sponsored by the
church in the middle ages as also
showing historic attitude. Under the
Guild system, which f1ourished in Eu-
rope for hundreds of years, workmen
were not only organized but their or
ganization carried on all the business
in their respective lines. Blacksmiths,
weavers, dyers, carpenters, and shoe
ma kers were their own employers. 1t
was the coming of machinery produc-
ton that overthrow this system of car
rying on manufacture.
The writer also calls attention to
the social reconstruction program is
sued by the American Catholic church
since the war-a program which urges
the gradual breakdown Of capitalism
and substitution of the cooperative
system based as far as possible on
private ownership"
Few people stop to realize that for
over 1000 years the Christian church
advocated communism, that is, it. up
held as the highest form of Christian
life, withdrawal from the wicked
world and living in comn1unistic socl-
cites called monasteries or nunneries.
At one time over one-third of the ti1lA
abs land of Western Europe was held
by these communistic institutions.
Modern capitalism" is very re-
cent development and there is no good
reason at ali for holding that it is the
last stage which human evolution or
human development can reach. EVl-
IDENTIFY both within and without our
great church organizations the pres
emit day issues are being strongly de-
bated. -

ters machinery in a more satisfactory

said. with feeling of confidence and
that our representatives will be aug
mented to an extent that will surprise

The Tories who make up the Union
list party are anxious to postpone the
general election. Lloyd George, the
premier, however, is anxious to have
one in the hope that he can weaken
the Unionist strength and gather
strength for himself by catching labor
OFF its guard with liberal candidates.
According to the Herald, the Union
lists in return for accepting the Irish
treaty, framed by Lloyd George, got
whole or half promise that the
House of Lords would be remode1ed
to such an extent as to have veto
on all important legislation Revival
OF the House of Lords may appear
a most peculiar step in this day and
age, but it is the logical working of
the reactionary minds which seized
control Of governments during the war
period
These reactionaries do not dare to
trust voters now that the war hysteria
has died down and in every country
in the world there are plots to prevent
the results of general elections from
determining the policies of the gov
eminent.

Washington, D. C.-In spite or the
precautions taken by Secretary Wal
lace to exclude so-called radical or
CARNATIONS from the presidents con-
ference on farm conditions and from
efforts to limit the topics which could
be brought up for discussion, num-
Der of real ideas have worked in.
William Jennings Bryan, for in
stance, defended the so-called farmer
bloc which the reactionaries have
been attacking, by pointing out that
there had been Wall Street bloc in
full operation and control for 80 years.
Senator Robert LaFollette of Wis
consin showed that the defation
forced by those who control the ma
TONS credit was responsible for the
present condition Of the farmers. Sta
bilization of the wheat prices had
some strong hackers. President J. M.
Anderson Of the Equity Cooperative
Exchange made a strong plea for such
a step. v. E. Page of North Dakota
asked for guarantee for two years.
But the convention was well under
the control of Secretary Wallace and
resolution to this effect by J. S. Wan
namaker of the South Carolina Farm
ers' Union was rejected by the confer
ence.
Secretary Wallace stated that his
reason for opposing the price stabi1i-
cation of wheat prices was that, ''It
would prove ruinous to the farming in
dustry." The G.. o. P. program of re-
duction of acreage of certain crops
was adopted.
Evident Plans.
It is now clear that the tactics of
those who control the conference will
be as follows:
1. A number of nice sounding reso-
lutions about putting farmers on a par
with other industries, will be adopted.
2. A number of investigations will
be called for.
g.. A large number of alleged farm
er representative will be appointed to
boards, commissions, consular service
abroad, etc.
This program is expected to quiet
the wrath of the farmers sufficiently
to save them for the Republican party
and to head off any effective steps for
the farmer against the Wall Street in
terests.
What LaFolIette Said.
In his speech denouncing deflation
as the principal cause of farmer de-
preston, Senator LaFollette said:
"The present condition of agricul-
ture is but the natural consequence
and the inevitable result of that policy
of .forcible defation accomplished
through the control of the nations
credit by the will of few great finan-
ciers.
1.-THE destruction which they
wrought cannot be cured by the reso-
lutions of any conference.
"The defation of agriculture was
only the prelude to the preparation for
another purpose on the part of the
financial interests-the deflation of
labor The growing power of the or
CARNATIONS of labor and the ever-in-
creasing ,self-respect of the individual
workingman had come to be hated and
feared by those who control industry
They determined as they have SO fire.
quently declared in their own publica-
ton and public utterances, to teach
labor a lesson.
/ "a break in prices was necessary as
preliminary and pretext for the de-
flation of labor, particularly when this
break in prices could be accomplished
with profit for themselves and so the
farmer was Debated and the prices of
agricultural products were forced
down."

LYNCH BILL WINS.

On January rs the House passed the
Dyer anti-lynching bill by vote Of
230 to 119. Seventeen Republicans
Joined with 102 Democrats in vote
against the bill. On the other hand,
8 Democrats and Meyer London, the
New York Socialist, voted in favor
of it.
The bill provides life Imprisonment
or lesser penalties for persons who
participate in lynching and for state,
county, and municipal officers who
failed through negligence to prevent
them. It also provides that the coun-
ty in which the lynching is done
which results in death, shall forfeit
$4,000 to the family OF the victim.
Last week an Oklahoma court found
5 men guilty Of lynching a negro and
they received life Imprisonment This
is the first conviction of the kind that
the writer has heard of in the South
and the fact that the five men had
lynched non-union negro in the en-
ploy of packing company probably
accounts for this surprising decision
in Southern state.
The Democrats declare that the
anti-lynching bill has as its main pur-
pose the rounding up of the negro
vote for the Republican party. Many
observers predict that the passing of
the bill in the House will be sufficient
for this purpose and that the senate
will allow it to die. The reactionary
forces of America need the race issue
in the South for support and it is
hardly expected that they will deal a
real effective blow to the lynching
evil.

Mr.. Hines also quoted reports of a
number of executives in 1917 to the
effect that the roads should have high
er rates because it was impossible to
maintain passenger car equipment and
continue the usual service of freight
cars and locomotives.
The former director also refuted the
common charge of railroad labor de-
teriorating under government control.
The only true basis for comparison,
he said. after the change to the eight
hour day was the number of man
hours paid for. He said that traffic
units of service per man hour had
increased from A in 1915 to So in 1917
and 1918 and to 100 in 1919, thus show
ing more units per man hour than
ever before"
