weeks officially returned to work
yesterday morning.
Long before the hour at which they

the strikers met and formed into a

their union hall to the place of work

Amsterdam International (Jouhaux,
Oudegeest, Leipart, etc. did not ap-
pear at this congress, as they obvious
ly could not hope to be received with
approval This was declining the
fight before the battle began. This
foreboding did not mislead the right
leaders of the Amsterdam Interna-

in spite of many weaknesses, was a
brilliant demonstration OF the anti
Amsterdam tendency. Has such a
thing ever happened as that the Am
sterdam trade unions declared them
selves in favor Of supporting the
struggle of the colonial peoples even
should they declare themselves indie

USE OF DOPE
CAUSE CRIME

When dope" became more and
more expensive, the first result was
to increase dope-in-spired crime. If
the addict required more of the drug
than he could pay for out of his
legitimate earnings, he often resort
ed to crime to get the extra money.
But now, when better enforcement
has made the forbidden narcotics
even more expensive, the officials
report that the effect has been to
make many addicts cure themselves.
The cost was more than they could
meet from earnings and stealing to-
gether, so they quit, or drastically
reduced the dose.
Something the same is beginning
with bootleg booze, The less the
profits in it, the fewer bootleggers
And the higher the price, the fewer
their customers. Economy and re
form are mutually supplementary.

Cornell debated in Chicago whether

take the barrow side of it, and agree
that man or, life generally, could be
explained by the mechanistic theory,
there would still remain the question
what explains the mechanistic
theory itself?
The bottom of any mechanistic
theory is mathematics. And mathe-
NAUTICAL processes are mental. You
can evolve the motions of the two
components of the remotest double

the material and the mental come
together to the point of identity.
