AMERICAS GREATEST INDUS

The greatest industry of this
country has started up to run nine
months. II is one in which there are
uu strikes II depends upon child
labor. but its finished product is
good citizenship. That industry is the
American school.
Tha American people, whose mot
ID sometimes seems to be Let
George do it,, have way of turn
ing over the whole responsibility for
this great idcalstc and practical
enterprise. I'd teachers and school
boards They kick vehemently if the
children are not well educated, yet
they never ask if the success Of this
undertaking does not depend in large
part on the home cooperation.
Teachers and school boards who
have to contend with parental indif-
ference. find that their plant turns
out only IN Indifferent product.
The success of school operation
can be greatly promoted, and the
children can be prepared for more
useful and successful futures, if the

need or prospect Of profit in pretense.
European statesmanship is following
its natural bent.
1t is evident that something must
be done to make the situation OF Aus
tria economically possible. The Aus.
trians prefer to seek way out o.
their difficulties by uniting with the
other German stntes. France will not
agree to this. because it would mean
a stronger Germany. On the contrary,
French policy aims at Strengthening
the little entente and an alliance with
the powers which constitute it. To
Italy this would mean merely the
building up OF new menace on her
eastern borders to take the place of
the old menace of the Austro-H Hunga.
rian empire. and Italy never will con-
sent to such a program.
The trouble is not new one. 1t
has AFFLICTED Europe since the day the
armistice was signed. Desire for sup
posed political advantage has out
weighed economic common sense. In
order to serve supposed political ne.
cessities impossible economic situa.
lions are created. and these impossible
economic situations serve further to
complicate the political problems, az
fairs becoming more hopelessly mixed
with each swing Of the pendulum.

sarian empire. italy opposes this and
would establish an Italian protectorate
over what territory has been left at
cached to the ancient capital Of the
Aapsburgs.
There might be poetic justice in plac-
ing the Austrians at the tender mer-
ciss Of the Czechs, Slavs and other peo-
pies they 80 long oppressed, but Italy
sees in this proposal menace to her
own safety. and IL unwilling to be q

1t is always g. question whether It
is better to give these radicals full
swing for their meetings and activities
or to check them. Some hold that by
leaving them free to spout their
preachments they can be more closely
watched. Others hold that If their
spoutings are not repressed the I'M
preston is given that there is nothing
wrong in what they say and converts
are made to their way Of thinking.
During the war these schemers
against organized government were
sternly repressed, and many Of them
were arrested. tried and sent to prison.

fed from the Bridgeman meeting is a
woman who was tried, convicted and
later freed. There is no war now, save
that of the communists, a war that is

how to identify and to take with con.

William q. Foster is in the tolls at

cago yesterday after a raid had been
made on gathering Of communists in
the woods near Bridgeman, Mich, in
which seventeen radicals were arrest
ed and large quantity Of propaganda
material was captured. Foster. 1t is
charged. had been in attendance upon
the Bridgernan meeting. but had fed,
with some others, when the federal
and state officers began to close in on
the assembly. .
This may prove to be an important
move in the fight against communism.
The meeting at Bridgeman was in the
nature of. national convention Of the
reds. There were over sixty present,
from all parts Of the country. with
representatives from Russia. For two
or three years these sessions have been
held in secret. Two accounts are given
