Time Gilds Failure Into Success

Success and failure can be Joined in a paradox. That
Is. they, too, succeed who fal-in some peculiar instances
Our cult of success has not been recognizing this. T.
has been putting all its emphasis on immediate achieve
mcnt. There is a poStlumous success, however, which
requires perspective to perceive. The world alters the
judgments and appraisals it puts on men and movements
when in after years it sees these In q new light. perhaps
accepts principles and PHILOSOPHERS an earlier generation
rejected.
But the world need not revise its judgments on prin-
ciples or PHILOSOPHERS or movements to see success where
before it had seen only failure in cases when the failure
concerns a misunderstood or unappreciated personality.
In that way losers in great causes may in the end come
to share honors with the victors.
There is the case of General Robert E. Lee. A nation
wiGc campaign now is on to raise funds to purchase his
Virginia birthplace and turn it into q national shrine.
similar to Washingtonis Mount Vernon. Lincolnis Ken
lucky birthplace cabin, Jeifersons Monticello and other
memorials to the great men of the nation.
There is this difference. however. The other Amer.-
cans honored by memorials were successes. while Lee. by
ordinary appraisal Of what he didn't achieve was q
failure.
Lee dedicated himself to a definite plan-establishing
the independence Of the Southern Confederacy.
He failed. For four dreadful years he did everything
that q man could do to gain his end, and did it super
latiycly well. But it was no use. Success simply WASH.
IN the cards. At the end the Confederacy had become
culy a bright dream. and Leon the surface OF things
vas a beaten man. with everything that he had fought
fer battered down in the dust.
re. today, more than half a century later. the Ameri-
can people are buying Lees very birthplace for q national
shrine Indicating. thereby. that by common consent We
havc enrolled HIM among our immortals.
How does this happen? We don't ordinarily. erect
memorials to failures. What was there about Lee that
makes an exception Of him?

Help from Darkest Russia

hep 1TOm DaFKeSC NuSSla
There is a strange irony below the surface Of current
events sometimes. II you care to look for it.
A certain large manufacturing city in the middle west
found the close of 1929 q slow period industrially. Pur-
chases of machinery and parts by the automobile industry
fell off, and the city,s factories faced a stretch of very
lean days.
But there was one factor that saved the day and
enabled the citys industries to keep going without a
shutdown.
Orders for several millions of dollars worth Of factory
equipment were placed with the citys industries by
Soviet Russia.
There's a smile in that. Soviet Russia, the ~bugaboo Of
American industry. providing the orders that kept hard
times from descending on a great American manufac-
turing city!

China Ends Extraterritorialitv

China has thrown down q challenge to the nations
enjoying extraterritorial rights heretofore, that is the
privilege Of conducting courts Of their own on China's
territory for the trial of their nationals in that country
In accordance with notice served earlier in the year on
the various countries, Of which the United States is one
extraterritoriality has been declared abolished by thu
Chinese government, treaties to the contrary notwith-
standing.
The abolition of a treaty of such significance as the
cxtraterritorial compacts would constitute a grave dip
lomatic breach ordinarily. But In the case Of China
it is a breach difficult for outside powers to handle
Political conditions In China are so chaotic that the ques-
ton before the nations treated SO summarily is whom to
hold to responsibility. There is not that stability OF gov
crnmcnt which would make the situation debatab'e.
japan looked at the matter in that way and when
China deprived it of Its extraordinarily. the Nippon
government went placidly on maintaining its consular
cxtraterritorial courts.
The tendency or the part Of the United States has
been toward meeting the desires of China, and with 2
stable modern regime in authority at peiping there is no
doubt that this government would have renowned its
judicial rights in China in favor of proper native tribu-
nails. The long period of unrest and civil war has so far
made it impossible for tho United States to forego the
protection Of the special rights accorded in the old days
SO It looks as though this country would have to follow
in the footsteps OF Japan and continue its special courts
until such time as peace and stability shall have become
in the Celestial republic.
Anyhow. the Chinese government hasn't completed its
withdrawal Of extraordinarily. Its decree calls for ap-
propriate officials to devise means for giving effect to the
new policy. That is likely to take considerable time, dur
ing which many things might happen.
It has even been suggested that China, as a signatory
to the Kellogg BRAND peace pact. cannot afford to be
p~recipitate in measures to enforce its edict. That is. 1t
cannot resort to force in any way approaching the
status OF war measures.

N.M.U. Meeting at Sparta.

BELLEVILLE, ILL.,, Feb. 18.-The
National Miners Union is to hold
meetings in the near future of the
4O4 Sparta miners on strike against
the Moffat Coal Company. These
miners, half of them Negroes, are
out against a reduction of men by
the company, through the use of
new machines, to 80, and discrimi-
nation in picking these 80 (only
six Negroes to be hired). They are
organized in United Mine Work
ers local, but the UNIV. Duquoin
sub-district officials refuse to call
meetings, make no more than pre-
tense of supporting the strike, and
tell the miners that they have to go
back to work.
Before putting the new machines
in, the company, without opposition
from the U.M.W.A. officials, cut
wages, particularly of the Negroes.
Those on the machines were cut
from $3.50 day to $5.95. The mine
worked only a few days month,
and the miners, on this starvation
wage, had to pay in the form of
check-off from their wages as much
as SIS to 81 a month to the U. M.

now out of the question. A rapid
building program on all hands
is admitted by the imperialist dele
gates.
Great Britain announced, through
it's delegation, headed by Ramsay
Macdonald, that it would speed up
its cruiser building program. The
French are already building ten 49,
000-ton cruisers; and the United
States twenty three 10000 ton
cruisers.
There will be naval race in all
crafts, including submarines, battle
ships, cruisers, destroyers, airplane
carriers.
The delegates at the conference
admit that a change in the French
cabinet, which would probably be
headed again by Tardieu, would not
effect the French demands, which
are based on the needs of French
imperialism.
No date has been set for the re-
sumption of the conference, but the
plans for war ornaments are al
ready under way, and will not be
modified to any important extent by
any further discussions in London.

Why Working Women Should Organize

the sign was there to keep the men
out and to hire the girls in thei"
place.
The girl said that when she start
ed to work in that shop there were
80 per cent men working and 10 per
cent women, while now it is just
the opposite. They pay the women
so per cent Of mems wages and they
produce 25 per cent more work. BY
doing this the bosses are enabled to
throw more men out of their Jobs
and we women working for only
half the mems wages are not able
to support our families.
If the women were organized into
trade unions, then we could demand
full mems wages. We should or
ganize under the Trade Union Unity
League that fights for US.
