3 ORD Rothermere has opened a
campaign to make Lloyd George
premier Of England. 1t was the willy
Welshman who steered the empire
thru the hazardous days of the war.
Evidently the empire is again in
danger Mr.. Baldwin is too conserva-
tive and too enmeshed in the tolls of
tradition. The tories will not do.
The Labor Party, tho loyal to the en-
pire, is after all, a workingclass or
ganization and the ruling classes of
Great Britain are not taking any
chances. So Lloyd George may be
called in TO do some pinch hitting.
I LLOYD GEORGE is a liberal, but 4
a nevertheless he is an imperialist
He is a clever demagogue. He can
make the masses believe that they
are running things better than any
body else in England. Of course he
IS only concerned with the safety of
the empire and incidentally with his
own welfare which is bound up with
that of the empire.
A WEEK ago a public subscription
"A for on industrialization loan be-
gan throughout the U. S. S. R. All
sections of the population are doing
their best to contribute to the sue
cess of this loan, the object of which
is to promote Soviet industry In all
the factories, etc, the workers have
started committees and are organ
izing collective subscriptions. Facil-
tiles are provided for payment by in
stalments, similar to the methods
used for War Savings Certificates in
this country, except that in this case
the subscriber receives the bond
after his first payment. A large
number of workers are subscribing
sums equivalent to months wages
and more
THE British are little bit ahead of
us when it comes to the matter of
industrial peace" You know the
kind of peace we are having in Colo
RADIO just now. Well, the lord mayor
of London has issued an invitation to
prominent labor leaders to banquet
at the Mansion House at which sew
eral Sirs and Lords will speak And
enclosed with the invitation is a
pamphlet entitled, "The Way to In
dustrial Peace" lecture by the So
cialist, Philip Snowden. Since en-
dustrial peace" began to grow in
popularity in Britain, the wages Of
the workers have fallen.
TRAFFIC between here and Albany
is likely to suffer a decided set
back as result of the refusal of
Theodore Roosevelt to amplify his
charges made at the G. o. P. conven-
ton in Rochester that Al Smith and
the alleged red light district in Albany
are almost synonymous terms. Teddy
the second, might be given more rope
by his leaders if he did not have to
go to Washington to testify in the
Fall-Sinclair, Teapot Dome suit. I
have distinct recollection of hearing
something about coming into court
WIN SiSelu AdHuS. II young loQQV'S
wings did not show so many petroleum
stains his moral indignation might
be worth more votes north of the
Harlem River
COLONEL Charles A. Lindbergh, the
y first man to accomplish a non-stop
flight from the United States to
Europe has just returned from a
three-months tour of the country I'M
der the auspices of the Guggenheim
Fund. Guggenheim is one of our big.
gest and busiest brokers and has
spent much money on Lindbergh for
purely patriotic purposes. The fact
that Guggenheim is very much in
terested in Brazilian copper and that
his copper slaves may some day need
the supervision of American airplanes
has nothing to do with Mr.. Guggen-
helms interest in aviation. He is lust
a patriot.
