MUNITIONS
(The st. Paul Daily News)

Charles M. Schwab, chairman OF
the board of the Bethlehem Steel cor
poration, returns from a trip to Eu-
rope-where, by the way, he visited
the famous Sir Basil Zaharoff, inter-
national munitions king-tO remark
that it would be a grave mistake for
America to adopt legislation taking
the profits out of war.
You can't operate munitions plants
without profits" he says. For in
such business you have to allow pri-
vate capital to invest money, and
without profits you can't induce peo-
pie to invest"
This would be quite convincing if
we did not read it against the back
ground of wartime CONSUMPTION of
fighting men.
If the country can take an ordinary,
peace loving citizen from his home
and send him out to face mutilation
or death for 81 day, it ought to be
able to exercise an equal power over
the men who supply him with rifle
and cartridges as the saying
goes, to make everybody concerned
like it, as we'll.

ROOT OUT MILITARY SPIRIT

While the House of Representatives
shouted down proposal that it go
into brief session of silent prayer
before voting on the McSwain bill. it
amended the original draft beyond
recognition. The fight against con-
scriptiOn was won in a last-minute
UPSET which eliminated not only the
provision drafting all men between
the ages of twenty-One and fOrty-five
for war services but also that con-
Scripting management of industry and
communications. Mr.. McSwain yielded
to the unanimous pressure OF his col
leagues in accepting a 100 per cent
tax on excess war profits, and the
bill now can be merged with the Nye
press is to be exempted from the
licensing provisions, though this. nat
urally, is no guaranty of free crit
icism in war time. Representative
Maury Maverick, the vigorous Texas
first -termer, fought hard for an
amendment insisting on American
neutrality, and is to be credited with
the final defeat of CONSUMPTION In
the main the House put up debate
singularly free of false patriotism.
The more Congress looks at the prob
lem of war, the more clearly it sees
the folly of defining defense" as the
ability to draft, equip, and staff an
army of four million men for duty
overseas. This still is the official
policy of the services" Once this
simple fact lis digested, most of our
present military and naval expendi-
ture can be diverted to social pur-
poses, and the influence of the army
and navy in Washington will be cor
respondingly reduced. The enactment
of strong Nye-McSwain bill will be
an important victory for democracy.
but it will be completely won only
when the military spirit is rooted out
of our national life.

1t appears that, at this writing.
the only important accomplishment
of Congress at this session is the ap-
proval of the $4,SSO, 100000 relief bill.
But the relief appropriation is an
emergency measure, and any think
ing person must recognize that after
the relief spending has been COM
pleted there should be laws on the
statute books to correct some of the
social and economic EMBELLISHMENTS
that have been to blame for many OF
our troubles in the last few years.
But so far Congress seems to have
accomplished little in this direction.
1t is to be hoped that the present
Congress, before it winds up, will
have produced some concrete legisla-
ton to fill this need.

GREAT WITHOUT EXPRESSION
(The NatiOn)

The measure of Adolph s. Ochs is
to be taken by his creation. the New
York Times, with whose identity he
was almost completely merged. One
of the few great newspapers in the
world. the Times has served to main
tain the balance against the Sensa-
tionalism and sickness of contem-
porary journalism. It's first and chief
merit has been its devotion to the
service of complete reporting. 1t has
not always been as complete or even
as accurate and objective as it might
be, but it has been more nearly so
than any other American newspaper
and far more so than any of the once
superior newspapers of London. Where
the Times has not led has been in
the field of opinion. Its editorial
function has been conceived in a
spirit of restraint bordering on psy-
Geological repression, which has pro-
duced an editorial page devoid OF
inspiration. In terms of Mr. Ochs
this simply says that he was a great
publisher and newsgatherer and hard
" at all an editor. But he was great
in his way. and American journalism
also in the main profession OF
news gathering. without leadership
has lost one of its creative figures.

AGAINST PROFITS
Editor Askov Americana:

Editor Askov American:
| said in your paper that if one
would try to show a way out of the
quick mire that we are in, the profit
GERS and their hirelings would hate
that; and surely enough we got a
piece of their propaganda, but the
writer of it made, no attempt to show
that | am wrong, but instead of that he
comes with a long religious set-up and
tells us that to get out of the de-
preston we must turn to God for
help. l think it would be better to
keep religion out in discussing the
depressi ion, because there are hun
dreds of religions, and every one
thinks that his religion is the right
one, and some people are so bigoted
and tender so they can nearly get
into fit when something is said that
is not in accordance with their re-
ligion; so it is best to try to find the
root CT the evil. and cut that.
The profit system is the root of the
evil. Profit and earning is not the
same; profit is something received
without paying or working for it; earn
ing is something received for service
performed. Such people as have the
large incomes have not earned them
but have gotten them as a profit; and
the others who earned them are bound
to be that much short.
The profit system has worked so well
that already some years ago (nOW it is
worse) per cent of the people were
the owners of 80 per cent of the
wealth, so there was only 10 per cen;
of it left for the IS per cent of the
people. In one year 500 persons had
profit each of from $1,OOO,OOO up tC
ST., 100000; and many times that
number of persons had profits from
81 200, 900 downward, before it came
down to what one could have earned
and needed for a living.
Now when $500 is estimated to be
the average earning of worker in a
year, in normal good times, then by
each $1,OOO,OOO profit 1880 families
are deprived of their living. The one
with the S15,OOO.OOO profit, by that
took the living from 1880 families
How can there be expected to be
good times under such profit sys.
tenn? There must be high enough
| federal income tax to give living t.
the millions of the people that the
profit system takes away from. Tt
make a market for the products, there
must be given an idle support, so they
can have as good living as if they
were working. And, the profiteer:
must be prevented from piling the
money up instead of letting it circa
late. They are rich enough, but lie
them keep that, but don't let then
get richer.
| Is it not provoking that there car
be people who believe that too mucf
of what people need is the cause o
them not being able to get it, wheI
il is the buying power taken ava,
by the profits of the rich, that is thu
cause of it?
