Major General James C. Harbord, re-
tired on a fat pension, and drawing still
fatter salary as head of the Radio Trust,
delivered panegyric on war at the New
York state convention of the American
Legion last week.
After indulging in his favorite outdoor
sport of lambasting those dreadful Great
ures known as 'pacifists," the doughty
general delivered himself of the follow
ing:
I'VE all join in the chorus of the pack
and chase the distant rainbow of perma-
nent peace. but those of you who served
your country In the World War must
know that there is nothing left for you
in life, as your days wane. that viii ever
seem quite so much worth while.
In truth there is In war itself some
thing beyond mere logic and above cold
reason 1t is the mysterious power that
war gives to life, of rising above mere
life.
The Savior himself did not hesitate
to draw metaphors from camp and field,
and He pronounced no anathema against
war
'''It may be that the peace He died to
promote was not the peace of ending
battles, but the peace within the SOUL
Needless to say, General Harbord did
not march in the ranks during the World
War. True, he commanded troops In ac-
ton, but during most of his stay IN
France he was back at general head
quarters where there were clean sheets,
excellent food, good wine to wash il
down, and the society of fair ladies and
gallant gentlemen.
General Harbord viii probably never
experience anything quite souplifting a:
that, but how about the poor devils who
wallowed in muck and filth and facec
death in hundred terrible formsp

Bx GEORGE L. KNAPP

The railway mems newspaper La
bon" few weeks ago published two sets
of figures taken from two government
departments which, when put together.
formed what Senator George w. Norris
of Nebraska called 'one of the most as
founding statements that has ever aP-
peared in print.
Figures from the u. S. Treasury
showed that 504 men received total
net income in 1929 of 81 1856 100000.
Figures from the Department of Ag-
riculture showed that in 1880, ,3OO,O 900
heat farmers received $5l7,0OO.OOO
FIR their entire crop, and ,032,O 900 cot
ton farmers received $674,000. 900 for
the country s entire output of cotton.
This is a total of ST. ,l9l 100000 for the
two chief cash crops of the nation.
Thus it was discovered that 504 mil
honaires with their net income OF l9Z9
could have bought the entire wheat and
cotton crops of the United States the
next year at farm prices. Or as Senator
Norris put it:
The net income of 504 millionaires
in the United States in 1929 was within
few dollars equal to the total value of
the cotton and wheat crop in the United
States for the last year.
This means that the aggregate in
come of 504 persons, who neither toll
nor spin, is equal to the gross income OF
$4,000 American producers, who
both toll and spin"
And Senator Norris asks: What
will happen when these farmers wake
upa"
A very pertinent question. But
what will happen when several different
groups of people wake up2 For the
comparison which shows how the farm
ers of the country are skinned is by nc
means the only one that can be drawn
from the figures put out by Uncle Sam
different departments. For example:
In 1929, according to the Censu
Bureau of the Department of Commerce
428, l26 persons were employed in tn
manufacture of cotton goods. Their to
tai wages that year. according to tn
same authority, the Census Bureau, wen

In the same year. according to the l
S. Treasury. SO persons IN the Unite
States had personal net incomes of SIS
100000 or more EACH. The total il
come of these sacred &c. was $3.50
1896.
That is to say, the SO persons had
larger income, than the 428. 20 person
-$28. 10000 larger. The net prof
of SO men were greater than the tot
wage bill of all the cotton mills of Il
United States
The average income of the sacrt

erybody means by the clothing indus
try" and is generally reckoned very
important industry indeed.
1t is not very important compared to
the incomes of a few of our super-richl
men. The All 900 clothing workers re-
ceived $475, 3I8,677 in wages in 1922.
That is considerably less than half the
net income of the 504 men who stand
at the top of the list.
Or put it this way: According toI
the figures from the u. S. Treasury, 81
men had incomes of between 50 1000, 1000
and 100000, each in 1929; IL men
had incomes ranging between $4,OOO,-
600 and 100000 and 36-the sa-
cred 36''-had incomes ranging above
100000.
The total net income of the 81 men
In 1929 was $538, 664, 1877.
The total gross income of the ALL
600 clothing workers was $475. 3 6,677.
These IS men could have paid the
entire wake bill of what is usually cali
ed the clothing industry, and still had
63,345,5I0 left for themselves, or a
trifle of about three-quarters of million
apiece.
What will happen when the clothing
workers wake upa
In making its list of manufactures,
the Census Bureau divides industry into
several different groups. Group IN.
cludes all textiles, and everything of ev
cry sort that is made from textiles. Il
takes in all manufactures of cotton
wooden, silk, rayon, linen. jute, grass
cloth-and likewise everything made
from these articles.
This covers clothing of all sorts
house furnishings, if made of cloth cor
sets, millinery, hats, caps, gloves, rugs
carpets, bags-except paper bags-neck
ties, horse blankets, knit goods, lac
goods, cordage, irvine. awnings, tent
artificial leather, linoleums, embroiderie
it even lists and includes the button
holes in mems clothing.
In 1929, according to the Census Bu
reau, this group of industries employed
on an average through the year, ,646
$50 persons, and paid wages totalin
81 .67l ,056,976.
Turn now to the figures from til
Treasury. A man with a clear net il
come of 100000 year or more is ce
tainly in the supermillionaire class. A
cording to the preliminary figures f
1929, there were $50 men with incom,
ranging from 100000 to $750,OO(
287 men with incomes ranging fro
$750,O00 to ST 100000 and 504 WI
