nEsPITE the civil war in China
- James Ramsay Macdonald is OPP
posed to international intervention,
according to a press report. AS Mr..
Macdonald delivered himself of this
observation, British marines had
already landed in Shanghai, presum-
ably with the authority Of the prime
minister and ostensibly to protect
life and property" But do marines
every occupy territory not that of their
master for any other reason? OF
course not. There was a time when
British arms went forth looking for
new worlds to conquer and boldly an
nouncing their willingness to carry
the white mans burden" but nova
days, Britain only assumes mandates
or acts to restore law and order. :"
British capitalism can yet teach les
sons in hypocrisy to its competitors.
THE PRINCE OF WALES is to
L spend the next year travelling

America and South Africa. Tho the
prince is evidently having a good
time, his mission is principally one
of business, combined with pleasure
of course. 1t might be said that
pleasure is the princes business, and
that the princes pleasure is the EN-
pire's business. While playing polo
on the estate of a Long Island capt.
talist, one of the inconsiderate ami
mails kicked a bit of dirt into one of
the princes eyes. His Royal High
ness like a real noble just covered up
the injured optic and with the sound
one located the prettiest society girl
within his range of vision and trotted
her around the ballroom floor until
s o'clock in the morning.
THE PRINCE OF WALES is one of
| the wealthiest young men in the
world. Besides receiving handsome
sum for his upkeep from the British
Treasury, which, by the way was not
reduced by the socialist chancellor of
the exchequer, His Royal Highness
owns extensive properties in England,
Scotland, Wales and in Canada. 1t is
a reasonably safe assumption that the
capitalists with whom he consorts in
New York will be urged by their
wives under threat Of divorce proceed
ings or worse to put the prince wise
to little schemes that will help pay his
expenses. The prince being one of
"The Last of The Mohicians" is a
great favorite with upper class wom-
en-. being more in demand than even
Haldemann-Julius, or Frank Harris.
While the prince is having such
good time, 100000 British workers
are suffering from the effects of I'M
employment. When they work not
they eat-not much. When the prince
works, he does not eat. But he never
worked.

chief head" writer Coolidge Deaf
and-Dumb Clubs to Be Organized in
All States" Neither is the headline
misleading The Boston director of
the Coolidge and Dawes Clubs makes
the following statement: MRS. Cool
idge was a teacher in deaf and
dumb school before she married Mr..
Coolidge. There are thousands of
deaf and dumb voters in New York
state alone. The work of organizing
them has already been started" There
is a barrel of wisdom in the directors
statement.
IN the first place Coolidge is sure of
j the dumb" vote. He stands
sporting chance of getting the deaf"
vote providing it is blind as we'll as
deaf That Mrs. Coolidge accepted
Calvin for mate was long the won
der of New England, but the puzzle is
solved Her training qualified her.
Who else but "deaf-and-dumb"
teacher would tackle Silent Cal? And

needed inspiration for their isn't he

of the opinion, however, that the
