HOW LONG SHALL MONEY
SWAY HUMAN DESTINIES?
(By The Federated Pressl

Washington. French bankers hold
20 per cent Of the Turkish national
debt. That is why the French govern
ment gave the Turks arms to use in
driving the Greeks out Of their country
and recovering their natural resources.
British investors, on the other hand,
laid hold of Turkeys richest oil regions
under the peace treaty Of Sevres. 1920.
Unless the British and Greek holds un-
der that treaty could be broken the
French bankers might never collect on
their Turkish bonds.
That is why the British stood "alone
in defense Of civilization at the OAR
denelles. That is why the French
flouted civilization and helped the
Turk to recover ConstantinopIe and
Thrace. That is why the United States
took no part in the crisis" beyond
sending warships to Smyrna.
Close to Smyrna the Standard Oil
Co. has big station for oil tanks and
a jetty for bunkering purposes. Ac-
cording to the London Labor Monthly
for September, these are the only oil
marketing facilities of any size or con
sequence in near eastern waters"
Under the Anglo-Greek scheme
which the Turk and French have upset
the Anglo-Persian Co. was to supplani
Standard Oil in the near east. So the
Turkish comeback was worse than a
blow to civilization; it spiked big
expansionist movement by British oil
interests and may overthrow the Lloyd
George ministry at London.
Out Of the near east struggle there
emerges also a new, romantic and sin
lister figure, that of Sir BAIL Zaharoff,
Zaharoff is a Greek who bears Bri-
fish title and resides in Paris as the
semi-secret agent of Vickers' munition
trust and its allies.
In speaking Of Zaharoff in the house
Of commons July II, Lieut.. Col. Au-
brey Herbert said: 1t is said, and this
! believe to be fact. he has been one
Of the strongest supporters Of the Greek
policy. He is reputed to have paid
100000 pounds sterling out Of his
own pocket for the upkeep of the
Greek invading force IN Asia Minor. 2
Aside from Vickers, Zaharoff is
backed BY The Greek mercantile plu-
tocrats, Benachis, Rails. and Rodo-
canachis.

IGNORANT FOREIGNERS WANTED
(By The Federated Press)

Washington the midst of talk
about stricter laws to keep out unde-
Isirable aliens, an undertow Of still
stronger sentiment favors the letting in
a bigger supply of cheap labor than is
now reaching these shores from Eu-
rope.
In the struggle between these mu-
tualIy hostile sentiments that will be
staged in congress at an early date the
forces which are demanding more
cheap labor will certainly triumph.
Both factions want to exclude all but
the most desirable immigrants, but they
are far apart on what desirable"
means.
The abstract or clerical view of the
matter is expressed by the Rev. Henry
Allen Upper. who has returned from
a special mission for the bureau of i'm
migration which took him into Asia
Minor and Egypt. He reports that the
folks now coming and trying to come
to America from those regions are a
bad lot. and demands firmer laws to
keep them out.
Against Tupper's idea. the steel trust,
railroad construction bosses and mining
corporations place the hard fact that
common labor is not as plentiful as it
used to be, that they are obliged to
pay higher wages than formerly to
hold the available supply. and that for
such condition there is no remedy
except steady arrival of fresh immi-
grants from overseas.
The argument advanced by Upper
(and he speaks for thousands of anx-
ious patriots) is that free immigration
brings to our shores thousands of per-
sons who don't want to be assimilated
and who are prone to violent agitation
when they don't receive their share Of
our celebrated prosperity.
To that argument the big employers
make no denial, but practical expert
ence makes them willing to rely on a
remedy which Upper overlooks. There
| is no counterbalance to discontented
and fractious workmen, the big employ
ers find, so effective as steady inflow
of raw new immigrants to take the JOBS
that their unwise brethren have dared
to quit.
A bill drawn up by the labor depart
lment would set up in foreign ports nu-
Imerous staffs Of officials charged with
1.-The duty of examining all intending
Immigrants. with view to excluding
1.-THE undesirable before they set sail.
| Another Bill aims to set up on this
side the ocean other groups of office
holders to enroll and educate the alier
when he steps ashore. This project
also appeals to the fancy of hundred.
percenters and can easily be appliec
in a way to harmonic with the mair
issue, which is to keep the alien in thai
station where it pleases industry to put
him.

DEMOCRACY?
by The Federated Pressl

"
Hamilton. N. YAlmost every one
Of the catchwords Of American noliti-
clans and the slogans Of democracy X
was held up to ridicule here BY Dr..
George Barton Cutten, incoming pre-
sident Of Colgate university. III one Of
the most amazing addresses ever de-
liyered by college executive. Cutten,.
for ten years the head of Acacia uni
versity. Nova Scotia. was listened 10,
respectfully while he uttered statements
which would have got him in jail if he
were radical speaker on street cor
ner in any large city.
I'VE are permitted to do the utmost
violence to democracy in our action, Z
he declared, as long as we extol It
with our words. The word democracy
has become fetish in America, and to,
criticise it is not only considered poor
form, but is destined to failure" All
1.-THE theories and principles generally ac-.
tcepted as democracy. he said, are ut
Eterly false and misleading and Should
be abolished in the interest of truth and
honesty.
1T may be wise course he con-
tinued, to treat the people like chill
dren and let them play at governing
themselves, but would it not be as well
to recognize the truth9 The play goes
on until problem arises. and then we
call for leader. What we mean Of
course is a ruler. The ruler thus called
rules automatically, during the period
Iof difficulty, and then lets us play
again. The most autocratic ruler Of
the world war period was the ruler Of
1.-THE greatest democracy Woodrow
Wilson .
President Cutten then paid his re-
spects to the tariff makers. The real
tariff experts CT the country. he as
serted, probably could be counted on
the fingers of one hand, and these do.
not agree.
yet" he said, I'VE calmly submit
the subject Of the tariff TO the people
as whole, Is percent of whom are
mentally subnormal, with an average,
mentality slightly over ID years
Cutten explained that by democracy
he meant democracy as defined by Linz
coin in the Gettysburg Speech Gov
eminent of the people, by the people,
for the people"
sit is true" he said, we have
government of the people. but never
by the people, and only incidentally
for the people. The theory that all
men are born free and equal is false.
If all people were born free and equal,
democracy you'd not only be possible
but very desirable. Whether FORUM
ately or unfortunately, this is not so. +"
