Aside from the fact that Gen.
eral Haller is one Of the most
picturesque figures in POLAND, he
has direct claim on the affec.
tions of many Americans: Like
General Gouralid, the Lion OF
the Argonne." who was another
visitor recently, he does not have
to depend on the ties the war
created among allied soldiers.
Thousands Of Americans call
themselves '.t1alier's Own" It is
said, because they fought under
his immediate command.
1t was Haller's division, as It
was farniliarly known, but In
reality an army in itself, to which
POlish-Americans Hooked when
the opportunity came during the
world war. Most of the surviv-
ing members OF this fighting unit
who had joined from the United

first reunion with their chief
Polish communities throughout

THE WORM TURNING

Boycotts are not altogether dcsir-
able as weapons of defense and
should be prohibited for purposes of
offense. The innocent suffer along
with the guilty. The boycott OF
sweets on account of the conscience
less effort of the sugar spectators to
rob the pubic will reduce the sales
of dealers who suffer in some degree
along with consumers. This may
not be helped. The good Of the
greater number is to be considered
and this means cutting down the
sugar ration at this time. Secretary
Hoover, who by training and position
is enabled to take a broad view OF the
situation approves lessening sugar
consumption at this time. Sugar
brokers declare that he is committing
himself to IAN obvious conspiracy in
restraint of trade" OF course they
neglect to specify just what they are
committed to. There is no need for
item to do so. the public easily can
guess and let it go a that. The
buyers strike" will have a tendency
to disorganize business, but it is the
only we? pom of defense which the
buyers have, and self defense is
usually considered excusable.
Sugar isn't the only commodity
which is the cause of buyers strike.
Contractors in New York City are
tired of making agreements with
labor on which to base their con-
tracts and then see labor break the
agreement in the midst of performing
serious losses and many of them have
decided they don't care to buy labor
on those terms. This means con-
tinuation of the housing shortage,
the excessive rents and all that goes
with such manifestations OF greed.
This action on the part of con-
tractors generally would be likely to
bring no. only labor but other Of
tenders to terms. The Government
has asked for an injunction on the
Western Pine Manufacturers Asso-
citation, comprising some fifty cor
porations said to be engaged in fixing
prices arbitrarily and eliminating
competition. 1t may be doubted
whether any real good will come from
the action by the Government in the
way of relief of the situation this
year, but il there is to be only SO
sary there will be opportunity for
several of the interests to think it
over. The worm is turning. 1t
previously has been demonstra ted
serious matter.
