AMERICAN INTERVENTION in EUROPE

Germany, in order to secure political
domination on the continent. No
doubt America in its turn will deepen
the antagonism between England and
France in order to secure its hege-
mony on the world market. We do
not speak of the deep-lying antagon-
ism between Germany and the En-
tente. The world events will be de-
termined by these antagonisms, and
not by the "pacifist" speeches Of the
hangman Hughes or of the eloquent
Herriot. The law Of the unequal de-
velopment of capitalist countries and
of the inevitability Of imperialist
wars, remains in force now more than
ever. The London conference only
comouflages these antagonisms, in
order to create the conditions for
their greatest intensification.

lated continent. 1t is connected with
it's colonies, it lives on the sweat of
these colonies. To think that the
conference can change anything for
the better in the relations between
Europe and the colonies, that it may
stop or retard the development Of the
conflicts between these, means to
belive in miracles.
What then is the conclusion?
There is only one conclusion. The
London conference did not settle a
single one Of the outstanding conflicts
in Europe, but has supplemented
them by new conflicts, by conflicts
between America and England. No
doubt England will, as before, deepen
the antagonism between England and

Among the many impressions
gathered by myself during the cam.
paign is a realization that our party
militants have much need to become

better acquainted with the technique
of organizing mass meetings. This
fact was borne home to me emphatic.
ally by my participation in scores Of
gatherings encompassing many thou
sands of people. Mass meetings are
an important method of carrying the
message of Communism to the rank
and file of the working class, and
much Of their success depends upon
the skill with which they are organ
lied and conducted. MY campaign ex-
perience goes to show that many of
our comrades in charge have great
deal to learn in order to properly
utilize the valuable organizing and
propaganda medium Of the mass meet
ing.
One Of the particlar difficulties they
encounter seems to be with regard to
halls. There is a strong tendency to
hire halls altogether too large. Many
of the comrades in charge fail to
properly estimate the crowd that can
be expected to attend. This is a
serious defect. 1t works out bad
several ways. For one thing, it loads
down the meeting with a needless ex-
pense and usually creates a disastrous
deficit. l saw many illustrations of
this, where halls were rented for $3.50
and 5000 when others would have
served the purpose as we'll for frac-
ton of that amount. In one town
where our organization is quite weak,
some of the comrades even proposed
to hire the local ball park, whereas
when the crowd was actually gotten
together in hall it counted not over
200 people.
Selection of Halls.
But worse than the needless ex-
pense involved in too large hall is
the bad psychological effect produced
upon the crowd Empty chairs sim
ply ruin meeting. Far better small
hall jammed with people than the
same number of people seated in a
toe large hall. The more a crowd is
punched together the better it res
ponds to the speaker. During the
campaign l spoke, for example, to a
crowd of 1900 people in a hall that
seated $500. The result was a COM
parative failure. The sight of so many
empty seats carried to the crowd I'M
consciously the conviction that the
meeting was frost. The same crowd
in a hall half as large would have
been much more enthusiastic and res
ponsive. The too large hall disease is
one that should be corrected in the
organization of our Party meetings,
likewise the hiring of fancy downtown
halls instead of the popular halls
patronize by the masses.
There is also lack of appreciation
of the important fact that crowds,
in order to be receptive and res
ponsive, must be comfortable. Hence
the halls must be properly lighted,
heated, and ventilated. Dark, cold, or
stuffy halls simply destroy the effect
at meetings. Too often those in charge
pay no attention to such matters. They
take the halls just as the janitors
turn them over, instead Of carefully

charge should be to see that the
crowd is properly punched together
and seated close up to the speaker.
Duty of Committeeman.
The maintenance of order in meet
ings is such a prime necessity that
one would believe it hardly necessary
to mention here. But many comrades
lack an appreciation of the fact. They
let the crowd practically take care of
itself as best it can. Usually no ar
rangements are made to seat the in
coming people, with the result that,
after the meeting is in session, they
meander in searching for seats, to
the infinite disturbance of everyone.
It is enough to give speaker nervous
prostration to watch such interrupt

BLEAK WINTER AHEAD
FOR AMERICAN YOUTH
Old-Fashioned Remedies, Castor
and Cod Liver Oils, on Hand in
Plenty for Usual Colds.

The future of the youth of the land
is bleak, particularly that part of the
youth from six years or so down.
The chorus of 81 don't want to take
it, 1T doesn't make any difference,
you've got to- bids fair to be swelled
to mighty proportions. Winter and its
colds are at hand and the eyes of care
full mothers are already turning to the
medicine cabinet to check up. The old
fashioned remedy is on hand. In fact
it is on hand in large quantities.
Either manufacturing has speeded UP
or the small folk have escaped their
usual. quota. Be that as it may, during
the past three months ISL, ,155 pounds
of castor oil have been produced. Dur
ing that same period only 3,5F,52a
pounds have been consumed. That
leaves on hand in the warehouses $40,
336 pounds. 1t looks like a long, hard
Winter ahead, catching up on-tnat big
surplus.
And their woes will not stop at that
The other old-fashioned and equally de-
spised remedy used to build up consti-
tutions weakened by cold is also pres
ent in abundance. Exactly 2,27O, S3S
pounds of cod liver oil are in the ware
houses ready for rebelling army OF
children.
The production was only 455, 165 pounds
in the past three months while the
consumption was 2,473, 1913, but the tota
on hand would almost last three months
No relief is to be found in foreign
quarters. Castor oil seems about as
popular abroad as foreign immigrants
are here. None was exported. On the
other hand, 4,219,17S pounds of cod livei
oil were sent here, to the joy OF the
children of the Scandinavian countries
from whence it came.
So with Winter coming on, every
time that Il don't want to take it

PROSPERITY SEEN
IN USE OF BUTTER
Increased Consumption of Cream
cry Products Indication of
Fat Pocketbooks.

Prosperity in the land is indicat ed
by the reports of butter and milk
consumption during the past nine
months. When times are hard. but
Ter consumption drops. When the
family is forced to pinch and scrimp,
oleo begins to replace butter on the
table and in the cooking.
Figures for the past nine months
indicate that total of I.516,690,00O
pounds of butter was used in the
country This huge total is 100000
pounds more than last year for the
same period.
This represents an average of II
pounds per person. an increase of %
pounds per person for the year.
A surprising fact in connection
with the use of butter is that 5000, 600
pounds of the increase represented
butter purchased by farmers who last
year made their own. The dairy
farmer must be highly prosperous
when he finds that he can sell his
milk to the creamery, shipping sta
tion or condensery and buy his butter
instead of making his own as here
tofore.
During the past three years the
per capita consumption of milk has
gone up % per cent. During the past
year an average of So gallons was
drunk by everybody in the land.
Whether or not prohibition has any
| thing to do with it, the fact remains
that this is an increase in average
of 30 gallons over three years ago.
Milk and butter sales are Il good
barometer of prosperity, for in the
! case of butter the oleo which looks
like butter and tastes like butter
makes fine substitute from the
sense point of view even though
dietitians frown upon the change.
Efforts to boom milk consumption
| on the plea that 1t is d good food go
we'll when the country is prosperous
but when money is short, something
solid like loaf of bread or poX OF
crackers appeals more to the empty
| stomach.
