SHAKES

President Coolidge was wise in
abolishing the custom Of shaking
hands with visitors to the White
House.
Pumping several thousand arms
at a session is a foolish waste of
energy and time by an official
whose minutes and strength are ex
tremely valuable to himself and the
public.
The whole system of shaking
hands is foolish and dangerous, for
it spreads disease germs. The
League Against Hand Shaking is on
the right track.

GOLF

A glutton for statistics figures
out that a golf fan expends 1890
calories of energy in a game. This
includes swings with the clubs and
walking from hole to hole but no
allowances for energy venved in
outbursts of rage.
The average golfer in one game
uses up a third of the energy his
body generates in a day. 1t is oo-
vous, why golf is a dangerous sport
for devotees who oyerdo it, especial
" the old. More people die play

Germany during 1929 paid to Tie
armies of occupation over "a million
GOLD marks. She also delivered
298 million gold marks worth Of
commodities to the allied govern

no cash reparations.
In other words, the allies were
able to squeeze out of Germany
less than so million dollars last

APOLOGIES FOR

DIVORCE
Pastor Expresses Sorrow
After Church Choir ''Struck"
in Protest.

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Feb. a.
After half its members !, resigned,
or threatened to resign, because of
a sermon delivered by Rev. w. s.
Crandall on Divorce" the choir
Of the Boulevard Methodist Epis.
copal Church here held its first
rehearsal in nearly two weeks. The
pastor, it is said, expressed his
sorrow for hurting the feelings of
divorced members of the choir and
congregation.
Seven members of the choir Of
thirty are divorced. Mr.. Crandal
attacked conditions which he blamed
for causing an increase in the mum
Der of divorces.
Ray Hartley, leader of the choir
who is divorced and married 9
divorced woman, and Deacon Fred
WOODBURY.. who has been divorced
three times and recently married
his fourth wife, were said to have
been hurt so much they may never
return to the church.

FIRST AID To
LEISURE
Modern Housewife Can Do
More Work With Less Eff
fort Than Grandmother.

When business, the movies, autos
mobiles, athletics, shopping, and
social culture clubs intrigued
women to forget the teachings Of
their grandmothers and let house.
work go hang, great fear was
abroad in the land.
How" demanded statisticians
and professional workers, ''assum-
ing woman's life to have been filled
before with her housework and other
things, can she contrive to spend so
much time out Of doors without
chaos occurring in the homer"
And it looked that way, no
doubt about it. But the result only
has been to prove again the truth
OF the old saying, Necessity is the
mother Of invention"
An inventive genius, indeed, has
been busy. How to enable woman
to spend the hours out Sof doors
that a square deal warranted, with
out at the same time lessening her
service and influence as the home
maker WAS the problem that
thinned and grayed the hair Of mere
man. And mere man" made good.
Today the boss Of the household
spends more time out Of doors
weekly than her grandmother did
monthly. But the truly remarkable
part is that when she steps out she
leaves behind house that is spic
and span, with all the routine mat
ters running smoothly.
The secret, of course, is in the
mechanical contrivances which
lightened labor in the home. For
.oday's housewife washes. irons,
sews, cleans and cooks electrically,
in addition to curling her hair,
massaging her face, and what not
else, by aid of that same magic
servant.
Perhaps the most graphic illus
tration Of this new order of house.

and the modern way of preparing

MANUFACTURERS PLAN
FOR SPRING BUILDING RUSH

The most important factor in
the current market Is not the
present price level Of materials but
their availability six weeks from
now, the Engineering News-Record
states.
Every effort is being made by
manufacturers and dealers to In.
duce buyers to enter the market
at an early date, in order to avoid
rush Of production, transportation
congestion and abrupt price ad-
vances when the spring building
rush begins.
Materials prices are developing
firmness in all directions; non.fer.
rous metals, in particular, having
shown marked upward tendencies
during the last week. The iron,
steel and lumber industries reflect
increasing demand.
The untitled orders on books Of
the U. s. Steel Corporation gained
8 per cent in one month and freight
loadings have touched q new high
record for this season Of the year.
All these factors point to in.
creased business activity.

Cas- Final Effort

1t is entirely fitting that the socalled "fnal po-

be speech favoring Imperialism abroad and reac-
ton at home delivered at the dedication ceremonies
of the building erected by openshop labor at Wash
ngton, ID. c., as home for the American Cham
Der of Commerce
In foreign policy Cal champions "semi-isolation
and independent action" In plain Yankee this
means that American imperialism feels strong
enuf to stand alone without sharing loot with any
ally, in the fight for world hegemony. 1t is a de-
claration of war upon every other power which OBJ
structs the worldencircling triumphant chariot of
the House of Morgan.
1t even declares that tho the League of Robber
Nations may be treated with politeness in some
circumstances the prime requirement of those cir
cumstances is that American Imperialism shall re-
ceive the lions share, as in Germany. That this
bald declaration should be covered with sugary
phrases about 'being helpful to Europe" and "anx-
ious for peace' is merely another instance of i'm
perialist ethics.
At home Cal sets his face like flint against more
"defation in agriculture" but failed to explain
how and why the recent one was not prevented.
Nor does he show how the capitalist financial sys-

of dehation.

MacDonald's Dishonesty

Ramsay Macdonald, since his assumption Of Of
flee, has given most nauseating exhibition of ira
ditional British ruling class hypocrisy His rapid
retreat from his former professed belief in social
ism to a position closely resembling that of the
pious fraud, John D. Rockefeller, Jr caused a re-
vulsion of feeling even among some of MacDonald's
supporters in the British labor party.
In an interview to capitalist reporters, MacDon-
aid denounced strikers for asking too much and
urged them to suffer and set the capitalists good
example. few days after making this statement
it learned that he accepted gift" of $150000
from a tory millionaire, Alexander Grant, who
was knighed thru the good Offices of the socialist
premier. Needless to say the knightee and the
knghted denied that the gift" had anything to do
with the honor. While Macdonald was berating
the poor wage slaves for demanding little more
bread he accepted large sum of money and an
automobile from the owner of a biscuit factory who
sweats thousands of girls out of the product of
their labor.
But MacDonald's latest piece of treachery on
the Russian treaty is the blacklist act in his dishon-
est career. In the first place he was forced by
threats of the left wing of the British labor party
to afix his signature to the agreement which
guaranteed a British loan to the Soviet govern
ment for the purpose of getting Russias industrial
machinery in working order.
The bankers did not like the treaty and their
tory political agents Immediately began to
attack it. So did Philip Snowden the Chancellor
of the Exchequer. But the British workers were
for it, so Snowden kept quiet and Macdonald thot
he had won a victory that would stand him in good
stead in the election campaign.
Now, on the eve of election, Macdonald has pub
lished forged document alleged to have been re-
ceived from Zinoviev by the British Communists
calling for the overthrow of the British government
Macdonald knows this to be fake, but he fears
the hostility of the bankers and he wants to take
the ground from under the feet of the liberals and
tories and crawl back to Office again as the loyal
servant of the empire by dropping the treaty and
proving to the satisfaction of the most exactng i'm
perialist that he is more loyal to them than even
Stanley Baldwin, Lord Curzon or Lloyd George,
1t is refreshing to turn from the spectacle of
deceit treachery and corruption, presented by Mac
Donald and his crew, to the sterling honesty and
revolutionary integrity of the Russian Communist
leaders of the Soviet Republic, who fought CAPT
talist world in arms and brot their revolution from
victory to victory, while the millions of capitalism
were theirs for the asking

sy rHoMAa J. o,FLAHERTY

BY THOMAS J. o'FLAHERTY
THE New York Nation, edited by
Oswald Garrison Willard, an. or
gan Of American liberalism" and pacif
ism, in its issue of October 29, makes
most vicious and unwarranted at.
tack on DR.. Sun Vat Sen, president
of the Canton republic, and the lead
err of the ational-revolutionary party
of China.
Unusual Importance is attached to
the abusive editorial owing to the
pose maintained by Willard as
radical and defender of oppressed
peoples everywhere, and his professed
opposition to Coolidge, Dawes, the
American legion, the Minute Men of
the Constitution and the other agen-
cies Of American reaction.
But unless Willard repudiates the
editorial referred to, the conclusion is
unacceptable that he is one Of those
wolves in sleeps clothing who main
tains an outward camouhage of pac-
ifism in order to petrify the minds of
the workers and blind them to the
fact that our so-called democratic
form Of government is an illdisguised
dictatorship which rules by force and
and violence.
The Nation accuses Sun Vat Sen
or unloosing war after war on Can
ton until he paralysed the economic
life of the city. It upholds the Chinese
Fascist which were financed by the
British government. 1t declares that
the Chinese merchants gave Sun
numerous chances to practice the
kind Of government he preached"
The Canton Merchants Volunteer
Corps-this is the liberal name for
the Fascisti-is no Fascist in the
European sense, says the Willard
organ 'it is an expression of Canton
WEAKNESS with twelve years of rev.
olutioneering by Sun Vat Sen and his
cohorts" This is the language of the
stoolpigeons Of capitalism.
Oswald Garrison Willard, the defen.
der Of the l. w. w. against the per
secution Of the American capitalist gov
eminent seems to have just about as
Sincere in his profession of sympathy
for the struggling slaves Of the colon
ial empires and protectorates as he
has for the American labor move
movement. While he upholds the
principles of American trade union
ism in theory, and favors the class
war prisoners, he operates a scab
iron mine. His defense of British i'm
perialism in China raises the ques-
ton: Is the deficit Of the Nation
paid out of the proceeds of his seab
mine or what relations has Willard
with the Cowdray oil interests that
makes him come to the assistance of
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-28
Is "The Nation" Turning Fascist?

British Imperialism whenever It is in
trouble? The Irish nationalist revolu-
tionists have long claimed that Willard
was an agent of British Imperialism
It must be confessed that his attack
on Sun Vat Sen whose government
the British bankers tried to over
throw by force of arms lends color
to the charge.
Willard says that the Canton mer-
chants organized, not for any polit-
ical purpose, but to rid the city OF
politics altogether. This threatened
DR.. Suns supremacy, and his troops
tried to disarm the merchant forces,
whence the collision" Aside from the
stupidity of this argument, we will
prove that The Nation lies. In the
first place nobody but a particularly
