Go Into Personal Communica-
 tions With Late President Wilson.
 New York, Jan. 27 UR - Colonel E. NJ. House. who Is soon to pub. lish his memoirs. has been denied permission to print letters written to him by President Wilson, which have been held by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the New York World says in a Washington dispatch.
 The World says that Colonel Houses book. which begins with his birth. stops short at the begin ming of the war. just at the time when his close friendship with the war president resulted in impor. tant correspondence between them.
 The dispatch suggests that denial Of permission 10 use the letters Is T sequel to the mysterious break in their friendship during prepara- ton Of the Treaty Of Versailles.
 The dispatch adds that comment has been caused In Washington be- cause Of the appearance of at least 100 Wilson letters In the memoir: of the late William Jennings 1 Bryan.
 Apparently permission to us' these letters had been granted b! Mrs. Wilson, the World says.

Neither of these utter ances proclaimed the indifference Of the United States as to what might take place in the world. or can be justly cited as authority for the doc Urine that we should in no way tako part in such affairs. Washington cautioned us to avoid permanent al- dances, Jefferson advised us 10 cultivate peace. commerce and hon est friendship with all nations--en- tangling alliances with none ..
 Finally Senator Platt said:
 "A nation has no right to live 10 itself alone. To assert such right Is 10 contend for the doctrine that selfshness is right selhshness in a nation is as much wore than selfish ness in tho individual, as the nation is stronger and more influential than the individual

STRIKE DEADLOCKED
Neither Miners Nor Operators Near Agreement But Another Meeting is Held This Afternoon.

Philadelphia, Jan 27 tRl-Anthra- cite operators and miners once more had a clean slate before them today in their joint efforts to reach q sediment of the 22 weeks old strike.
 The latest plan to solve the indus trial warfare, that proposed by the Scranton times, was knocked in the head by the operators when negotia- tions were resumed yesterday after the break up of parleys in New York earlier in the month. Plan after plan has now been proposed and rejected. Apparently the con- ferees are as far apart ss they were when the original negotiations for new contract were disrupted in Atlantic City last summer.
 The Scranton Times plan, which embodied immediate resumption of mining at the old scale of wages for five years, with the right of either varty 10 call for a readjustment of wages in two years, was favored in principle by the miners. This pro posal made no mention of arbitra- tion, which has been the chte' stumbling block in the pathway to ward peace.
 Spokesmen for both sides declined to hazard a guess as to what would be discussed at this afternoons con ference. Their attitude, however was described as neither optimisti nor pessimstic. Alvan Markle. th chairman, said that as long as th conference remained in session ther was hope.

the great changes in American eco
nomic development that are reflected
in present-day foreign policy. 1t is
not 50 very long since all the crude
rubber consumed here could be pur-
chased in South America, and there
was no such thing as being dependent
upon the British supply (even assum-
ing that the British-owned plantations
of the East Indies had existed at that
time.) Not so, now. American cap
italism, like all its powerful compe-
titors in this imperialist epoch, finds
it more and more difficult to secure
dependable supplies of raw material
for its industries. Wherefore the new
wave of reasons for keeping the A.

might be grown, ''in our own back

and the warnings to other countries.
The whole line of policy now put for
ward by Secretary Hoover marks the
conscious and avowed participation of
the United States in the worldwide
struggle for possession of sources of
raw materials.
On the one hand, such a policy i'm
plies sharp conflict with the similar
aims Of other great powers (like En-
siand); on the other hand, imperialist
assaults upon the independence of
less highly developed countries where
supplies of raw materials are found.
Under cover of Hoover's 'open door,
phrases we see a fight to dominate
large sections of the globe.
In addition to rubber, Mr.. Hoover's
list of commodities includes coffee,
sisal, nitrates, mercury, etc. What
does it mean when our government
undertakes a campaign against gov
ernmentally monopolized" article like
coffee for instance? 1t is an open
attack against Brazil-and Mr.. Hoo
yer told the congressional committee
in so many, words that President
Coolidge was already seeking to in
duce" Brazil to accede to the demands
Of the Wall Street Sugar and Coffee
Exchange. The mention of sisal is a
direct threat against Mexico. The
mention Of Chilean nitrates throws
a white light upon the imperialist
of President Coolidge and
General Pershing in the Tacna-Arica
affair, and is a hint that they are
to be continued Mercury in included
in the list as challenge to Soviet
Russia. We find ourselves face to
face with credo of American i'm
perialism. If the rival claims of Brit
ish, or French, or Japanese imperial
ism stand in the way they must be
thrust aside.
With the rapid development of the
empire during the present
century, the government has often
fought openly on behalf Of a partic-
ular group of American monopolists
in a particular situation. Now the
government makes a general declara-
tion supporting American monopolists
in general against all their compe-
titors. 1t is the voice of the financial
oligarchy of Wall Street. whose in

pondence, copies Of which he submit
ted in his speech before the congress
sional committee. The correspond
ence was between the department Of
commerce and state department and
between the state department and the
British and other governments. How
ever, the communications did little
good, Mr.. Hoover declared. More
vigorous action was needed.
What he has learned of the secrets
Of governments which have set out
to enrich their nationals at the ex-
pense of America" says the report
Of his speech in the New York Times,
"Mr. Hoover deemed too sensational
and infiammatory to submit to the
committee in open session. He asked
and was accorded an executive ses-
sion in which he told the committee
the inside story of these governmental
manipulations and gave information
on others now being Contemplated.
To have disclosed these matters open
ly, Mr.. Hoover feared, would provoke
international discord."
'We shall oppose foreign monopoly
strenuously," Mr.. Hoover is quoted as
saying, "but there will be no reprisals
or other offensive measures" And
then he goes on to say: "The admin
istration has asked American bankers
not to finance the rubber, coffee or
other monopolies, and the bankers
have complied" He adds that we
must be prepared to develop rival
rubber plantations to those Of Great
Britain-perhaps in Panama or Co
lombia, perhaps in the Philippines.
No reprisals indeed!
Capitalist competition is no longer
the comparatively innocent competi-
tion Of the cheaper article with the
dearer. 1t has become a thing of
competing imperialist monopolies, Of
great national trusts, armed and
threatening. Any means to crush a
rival are permissible. Cut-throat
dumping" schemes. limitation Of
production, tariff struggles, financial
and wars!
Workers who imagine that this
is overdrawn need
only to read the following paragraph
from the newspaper report of Hoo
ver's speech:
"The American commerce minister
spoke gravely, deliberately, from a
statement, yet guardedly,
with an evident aim to avoid sensa-
But what he said drew
the veil from a picture Of great ma
tions fighting future wars over the
of vital necessities of
industry and life if tendencies now
developing are allowed to go uncheck-
ed"
But it is not only a question Of
future wars. Wars like these have
been the order of the day throughout
the world for number of years past.
And the United States is part of a
world system. Amberican capitalism,
as has been already indicated in this
article, is not the only one seeking
for big back yard.

Another coat that is quite strong
with the conservative dresser is a
modified Chesterfield. This coat is
a bit longer than the regulation
Chesterfield, but it's other character
istics are pretty much the same.
There are a variety of models
Some have the velvet collar; some
have the self collar. Some are single
breasted button-t through; some are
double breasted on-through and
some are single~breasted fly-fronu.
Blue and black fabrics have the call
in this type of coat.
The range of fabric weaves is wide
for this winter. Heavy tweeds,
cheviots, Bannockburns, Scotches,
Shetlands, Meltons, Kerseys, Beavers,
Friezes, Montagnacs, Chinchillas ana
numerous novelty weaves are shown
in the types of coats described above
with the heavier and rougher cloths
being also shown in the ulster which
never loses it's place in the fashion
or in the desire of the man who
puts warmth and ruggedness above
all else.
What The Trapper Contributes
There is still one type of coat that
cannot be passed up in any resume
of the overcoat styles of these days.
That is the fur coat that motorists
and college fellows and football
rooters have popularized in recent
Winters. These great coats will go
big again this winter
These fur coats are shown on rae
coon, marmot, bearskin and kindred
pelts and some of nabcbs who care
not how they spend even order these
coats in costly minks and seal skins.
Hence like the lumberjack blouse, q
garment that originally. was Identified
only with the woodsman and the
rancher and the herdsman and the
trapper has now become thing of
the elite.
Hence as in life .the lowest III
order can arise to the top if it renders
a distinct service and utility.

average degree of shoulder that is
attained not by padding but by
good tailoring handiwork, depending
upon the sturdy American figure to
give a foundation for it's robust
appearance.
Then still maintaining it's popularity
is the double breasted suit. Up until
"a year ago the double breasted jacket
was an outsider Then it came back
and has been coming back stronger
for the last two seasons. This fall it
still has. firm grip on the good
dressers and even the school boys
have taken up the style in, preference
to all other models.
Blues Remain Popular
Whether it was the popularity for
blue fabrics that made the double
breasted desired or whether it was
the double breasted that created the
strength of blue fabrics is not known,
but these two factors go so Well
together and became popular at about
the same time and they both cling
tenaciously in favor for the fall and
winter seasons.
That is why all sorts of blue cloths
are having their day. There are sne
regulation blue serges, but the more
distinctive weaves are the most
wanted. These are the unsheared
cheviots, wide-wa1e weaves, diamond
pineapple, herlinghone and
birds-eye effects.
But not all the double breasted
suits are blue. Fancy effects are In

models and in both the double-
