already reached from one-third to one
half Of what it was two years ago-at the
time of the Revolution.
But what about Great Britain? Has
she escaped the disaster which has be-

So per cent is export but today it is at

How much lower can the living for the

These surplus people, the average ordinary

questions that are today disturbing France
says: 5@... Il &. ..I..=s.
IF the living world is to achieve a
better order, or if it is to remain where
it is, the matter must be effected by po-
litical measures, and all words and ideas
are Of no avail. To act politically is
to pass from dreams to things, from the
abstract to the concrete.
Politics the effective working out
of social thought; politics is life. .s.s1
IF we. admit any sort Of connection
between theory and practice, we must
take our part in political life.
TO leave the men of practical politics
alone in their efforts even if we do so
with an amiable neutrality, and to say
that we will have no dealings with those
men, this is to abandon the cause Of
humanity. Z sss .ss.
= This is a sermon badly needed right
her in the United States. When our
labor leaders begin to talk like Barbusse,
the emancipation Of the workers will
not be far off.
It is thrilling and inspiring to read
the burning words Of the Frenchman after
the piffle and gusn that Samuel Gonpeers
gave expression to on ex- President VIII
sons doorstep the other day. Instead
Of calling, on an intellectual cripple and
a physical wreck to lead the people labor
should have 2 man like Barbusse to issue

To American Business Men.

Led BY the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, the National Associa-
tion. of Manufacturers, and the American
Bankers Association, the fight Of big
business against the soldiers bonus has
been launched in full force, with head
quarters in Washington, where hum
dred business lobbies" are maintained
year in and year out to protect special
business interests in matters of legisla-
ton and taxation. ~
During the past week these business
lobbies the three big ones mentioned
and score of small ones Shave begun
their campaign by circulating broadcast
the last letter Of Secretary Of the Treas
ury Andrew w. Mellon to Congressman
Fordney, in which Mellon repeats the
cry that the bonus will bankrupt the
country.
Thousands of American business men
who pay dues in scores of national as
sociations' will receive appeals to fight
the bonus. They will be urged to write
and telegraph to Senators and Congress
men. And many of them will do so.
Other business men who believe in
adjusted compensation for veterans will
find that the money they pay in dues to
these national associations or business
lobbies is being used to fight the enact
ment of the law in which they personally
believe. Will they have the courage to
repudiate these business lobbies which
they have hitherto supported in the be-
lief that their lobbies minded their own
business?" Will these business men, in
stead Of writing or wiring against
the bonus bill, have the energy and cour-
age to write or wire to Senators and Con-
gress1nen, II believe the veterans are en-
titled to adjusted compensation and I
want you to vote for it?''
Will they put patriotism above profits,
honor above selfinterest, loyalty above
lobbying, and throw their force into the
scales for an honest adjustment Of COM
pensation for the men who served, not
into a dishonest evasion Of obligation
because it costs "a few dollars? I'll
We believe that they will, and espe-
cially that they will if the service men
