UNPUBLISHED WILSON-LAN-
SING CORRESPONDENCE
REVEALS ECONOMIC
REASONS FOR WAR

In support of legislation "to
keep the United States neutral"
In the next war, Senators Nye
and Clark cited hitherto unpub-
lished correspondence between
President Wilson and Secretary
Of State Lansing in 1915. The
correspondence proved that the
United States entered the war
for financial reasons. The Allies
had made great purchases Of war
materials. The loaning Of money
to belligerents had been con
sidered inconsistent with the pol
icy of neutrality, but neutrality
was not permitted to stand in the
way of economic interests the
Senators pointed out. Wi son
finally acquieSced in "the neces-
0ONo
slty of floating government loans
for the belligerent nations, which
are purchasing such great quaint
ties Of goods in this country, in
order to avoid a serious financial
situation which will not only af-
feet them but this country as
we'll"
McAdoo, Lansing and Wilson
agreed with the big bankers IN
airing that if loans were not
made to the Allies, not Only
would Americans lose business
but there would be a depression.
The first Morgan loan of $780,
100000 followed in one month.
As Andre Tardieu commented
after these loans had been floated
From that time on the victory
Of he Allites had become essential
to the United States" Wherupon
the President who had except US
out OF war;" found good MORAL
reasons for getting US into it.

That National City Bank re-
ports that the 26O largest corpora

WAR BUDGET
RELIEF MONEY USED FOR
WAR

War preparations are consum-
ing the lions share Of the huge
unparalleled expenditures of
the gOvernment-Which are mort
gaging the future and adding
enormously to the tax burden.
The outright appropriation this
year for the Army and Navy De
partments, total nearly a billion
dollars. In addition to this rec
crd wal budget almost 1851. 000,-
600 has been spent for direct and
Indirect war preparations out Of
PWA appropriations from June,
1898 to April, 1885, reports the
Federated Press. At the same
time, a U. S. Labor Department
survey explodes the story of
"loafers on relief rolls" The
jobless, according to this report,

Senator BilbO
Says Huey Long Is
Enemy No. One

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 31-(By
ANP)-Senator Huey Long, the
Kingfish Of Louisiana is "Public
Enemy No. ii" according to Sen
ator Theodore Bilbo, in a series
Of addresses he has delivered dur
ing the past few days in behalf
of Hugh White, his chosen guber-
material candidate. Senator Long,
although not a Mississippian is
alleged to be supporting the can
didacy of Paul E. johnson, hence
the opprobium of Senator Bilbo-
Reasons why Senator Long is
|"Public Enemy No. 4" the place
formerly held by AL Capone, are
listed in part as follows in a
speech delivered here last week;
Huey Long is seeking to elect
Paul Johnson, just as he did Con-
ner, so that he can build up his
"Share the Wealth Clubs" and
ultimately his sovereignty.
Huey Long advocated permit
ting the Negroes to vote In Demo-
cratic primaries. "Let Huey Long
get a foothold in Mississippi and.
it won't be long before he is urg-
ing Negroes to vote in Mississippi
as he is doing in Louisiana"
Huey Long, in his interest to
Influence Negroes ia his "Share
the Wealth Program addresses
them as "NIr." He wrote a letter
to a ''coal black Negro, Read,
and addressed him as Mr.. Read"
Huey Long voted for the pass
age Of the Costigan-W agner anti
lynching bill, not because his con-
science dictated it, but because he
could not afford to let down his
friend "Read" whom he address
ed as "Mr." and declared him
self to be "Yours faithfully"

WAGES IN GERMANY

Johannes Steel, foreign editor
of the New York Post, gives fig
on wages in Germany during the
first half of 1885. TIE Nazi's
claim that the wage level has
been kept intact is true, eff one
takes the wage per hour instead
Of the amount that the workers
receive at the end Of the working
week" The weekly wage Of the
better-paid worker, ia small min
GRITTY, is 1881 marks Of which
3.06 is deducted for social insur-
,ance and about 3 more for "vol-
untary air Defense for the
factory representative Of the
Nazi party, and other 'contribu-
TONS The worker is left with
1925 marks, about Sc. In the
first half of 1885, 1854 per cent
or 100000 workers who contri-
buted for social insurance earned
less than IL marks weekly. "Only
workers employed in the arma-
ment industry received adequate
wages, amounting on the average
to So marke per week"
