Hold Dollar Too Close

II citizens generally would look less
to selfish interests and more to general
welfare, they would get along very
much better than they do. The great
trouble today is that people hold the
dollar so close to their eyes that they

That. put rather strongly, is the mental at
titude of large numbers OF people In Great Brit
ain, who have never been to the United States,
and rather pride themselves on not wanting TO
go.
Occasionally some breath of this unpopularity
stirs the newspaper press One sees paragraphs
asking paintively. Need we crawl to the
United States?" with plain hints that one of
these days there will have to be a nightly quar-
rel between us to clear the air.
Now, am not the man who is in the habit
Of crawling. and am always In favor of truth
telling, because that Is much less dangerous In
the long run than lies. however pleasant and
sedative. But as happen to know the United
States rather well, and an imense number Of
Americans of all kinds and degrees, would
rather like to give their point Of view on all
this, and to state their side of the case fairly
and squarely.
We know what we think about America
and those think most strongly who know the
least-but it might be interesting to know
what the Americans think about us.
In the first place, 1t is well to bear in mind
that 1t Is impossible to say what any nation
thinks" Nations are not in the habit OF think
ing. They only act under the stimulus or pas
sion or sentiment. Least Of all, Is 1t possible to
say what the United States think, because with
in that Nation of 120 900 people there are
many strains of nationality not yet completely
assimilated, and subject to the influence of their
old racial strains and habits of thought.
But on the whole, every British traveller
andIresident in America bears witness the Well
to-do and educated classes in the United States
have an immense and generous admiration of
England, amounting in some cases to selfdepre-
citation and the "inferiority complex.

They have very great sympathy, as know
with our financial difficulties. and great num-

ciers would gladly have let us Off the payment
of our debt.
How then, it Is asked. have they taken such
a strong stand about these debt payments, and
why. in the name of sentiment and decent
friendship, didn't they cancel them out as part
of their service?
The answer is not simple 1t looks, but,
in my judgment having discussed this subject
with hundreds of Americans. 1t is more senti-
mental than economic. Our debt payment has
not put many dollars, if any, into the pockets of
individual Americans. but our failure to pay
would have dealt every one of them moral
blow and destroyed their confidence in our
honor, which stands peak high. They said,
Whatever any other nation does, doesn't do.

like him decline to think Of the
general strike as a weapon for bring
ing it about. There is no need of fear
of revolution. class war. or class

City.
Government Stays Supreme.
When industrial strife reached a
point, as 1t has now reached in Great
Britain, demanding that the suprem-
acy either of the Government or
any single class Of the community
shall be established, leaders of the
Green type declare there can be only
one result. The supremacy Of the
Government must remain unchal-
lenged.
During the past quarter, of a CEN
tury of the American labor move
ment there have been two or three
concrete attempts to invoke the gen
eral strike in sympathy with, and
support of, strikes in individual in
dustries. In 1902, when John Mitchell
was president of the United Mine
Workers, there was an effort to de-
clare a bituminous strike in sympathy
with a strike in the anthracite fields.
The Mine Workers were assembled
in national convention for the pur'
pose, on petition of district fedora
tions, but the general coal strike prop
osition was overwhelmingly defeated
In 1922, when the railroad shopmen
were on strike, there was desultory
attempt to bring about a general
strike in various affiliated trades. But
it got nowhere. John L. Lewis, now
head Of the Mine Workers, hinted at
general coal strike during the re-
cent anthracite strike, but made nc
real move to carry out the implied
threat.
American labor leaders deplore the
fact that the British general strike
has caused the meritorious grievances
of British miners to be lost sight
of and Ohsc,lred in the public mind
It is felt that British public opinion
might support the miners in then
demand for redress Of wage wrongs
while solidly backing the authorities

Italy's Housing Crisis
AT an Agonizing Climax

In Italy the housing crisis is ap-
proching an agonizing climax with
the impending date Of June 80, when
rent control is to be abolished and
landlords, for the first time IN more
than 10 years, will resume their free
dom to charge what they like. In
Milan no fewer than 10000 families
have been notified that they must
leave their homes for having refused
to pay the increased rents demanded.
In many cases the new rents are three
to four times those now In force.
The decree which abolished rent con-
troll left, nevertheless, certain execu-
tive authority in the hands Of local
commissions to protect tenants In
case of fragrant evercharge. It ap-
pears that these commissions will
need to be much buster than at first
anticipated, or for the landlords, whose
property has been next to worthless
