COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

"When autocracy makes war, it
hestitates at nothing" Frank Cobb,
in an editorial in the New York World
said this on the German invasion of
Belgium in 1914 1t was true then;
it is true of Japan today.
The unofficial excuse made by Jap
anese for the bombing of the Panay
and other American. ships is that
they were crowded by Chinese ref
ugees. In other words, it is perfectly
proper to kill Chinese refugees under
any circumstances. That excuse is
left out of the official apologies framed
in Toxic; but it was made by japanese
on the ground; and undoubtedly eN-
presses the sentiments of the japanese
military autocracy.
For that matter, the bombing Of
Marking from the air some weeks
ago told the same story
Various rumors are going the
rounds of capitals that Japan will
be satisfied to control North China,
with about 15o,ooO,oO0 inhabitants,
if she can set up a government friend
"" to Japan in the rest of the country
Probably she stands amazed at her
own moderation But, leaving out the
ethics of the case, Japan never can
rule China permanently.
History has seen the experiment
tried several times of an island ruling
a vast stretch of neighboring con
tinent, inhabitated by a people sub
stantially equal to the islanders; and
it never has worked.
Greek civilization started in the
island of Crete, which held dominion

There has been lot of talk about
drafting money and property too,
in such case;
Well, it would depend upon who
was President,
And what crowd got into the easy
chairs over in the war department.
If Tom Girdler had anything to do
with the war except to furnish armor

Good night!
He'd get every man, woman and
child who had ever been to Clo

wire corral
And what would happen next would
probably depend upon the Johnstown
vigilantes.
Funny thing about that kind of a
referundum:
Sure as you started it, you would
be giving notice to the fellows called
'the enemy
Then, they would just wait til the
proper moment, and begin making
all the trouble they could, inside and
outside the country.
Mostly war is something you don't
reason about, very much, when you
get close to it.
Mostly you take it out in emotions
Shortly after emotions, come not

Printing Pressmen
In New Agreement

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)
The International Printing Press
mems and Assistants Union of North
America and the American Newspa-
per Publishers Association signed a
new fve-year arbitration agreement
on December 10. 1t is designed to
prevent strikes and lockouts in news
paper pressrooms.
James G. Stahlman, publisher Of
the Nashville Tenn, Banner and pres
dent Of the A. n. P. A., expressed
the opinion the agreement Should
point the way to others as the only
sensible, satisfactory and fair"
method for settling employer -employe
disputes.
Senator George i. i. Berry, Of Ten
nessee, president of the pressmen's
union, said the publishers and the
pressmen in renewing the arbitration
agreement, reaffirm their allegiance
to peace and to the normal, orderly
processes oa determining economic
differences through the instrumental
ity Of sanity and good will"
The agreement covering 458 daily
newspapers, provides that the pub
fishers and the union submit any diff
ferences to arbitration if negotiations
and meditation fail.
The agreement was first made III
1908, a year after Berry became the
unions president.

STg Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pre-
feundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly. -.

So somebody wants tile United
States to take a referendum on some
thingi
Well, that would seem to indicate
one of two things:
Either they have an almighty con-
fidence in the wisdom of a more or
less snap judgement of the whole
people when they vote on a given
question;
Or else they figure that the Am
erican people can be hornswoggled
into voting the way the newspapers
want them to vote on most anything.
The subject proposed to be voted on
is: Shall we go to war?
Now that is not the question in
these days.
1t doesn't come up in that form.
1t is more like this: Do we want
Saskatchewan (Abyssinia)
Or, Do we want to cooperate with
Mexico in the development of her
oil deposits?
Or isn't it a shame what the Brazil
ians have been doing with all that
coffee?
Nobody ever got 218 signatures of
Congressman before in favor of a
referendum Of the whole country on
any subject:
So we can't help wondering where
all the pushency is which got this
thing going. (They used to spell that
"puissancy," but we are free people
now Englishman can tell us how
to spell, any more.)
Of course all the women of voting
age, would have a ballot to throw in,
at such referendum.
And since none of them raised their
little boys to be soldiers;
Morever, it would be quite unlady-
like for the women themselves to get
all stirred up with a mess of bayonets
and tear gas guns;
And there are as yet no established
styles for feminine members of the
Marines;
Besides, because for a lot of other
reasons which have nothing to do with
the matter at issue
The going to war business would
be out, before election day.
But why should Labor capital l.
bestir itself about a little thing like
that?
The workers would not want to vote
for war: because it would make them
look selfish:
War always means that there are
a lot Of jobs for everybody, Will,
the fellows who have yen for fight
ing are away getting their legs gassed
and their lungs shot off;
OF course, there might be other
reasons, why Labor is not in favor OF
even having a referendum on the
subject.
Because of this did you ever hear
Of that new law which has been pas
sed, providing for a sort of military
dictatorship the next time we go to
war?

MR.. OLANDER is RIGHT

Victor A. Olander, secretary-treas-
urer Of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor has written letter of in
formation to the Chicago newspapers
which should circulate well outside
the limits of the Chicago district.
One of the Chicago papers addressed
had complimented an annual financial
report of a labor union as the first
ever issued" and another paper COM
plimented another union for being
first to give its annual report to the
press.
The fact is, says Mr.. orlander,
that the issuance of annual financial
reports by national trade unions is
a widespread practice, common to
the entire American trade union move
ment
To find the first of such reports
in this country one would have te
turn back the pages Of history more
than half century
1t is an undeniable fact that the
published financial reports of Amer
lean national trade unions are more
comprehensive than the reports is
sued by any business corporations il
cluding newspaper corporations.
Mr. Orlander has hit the nail on
the head with wham. He might have
gone farther. He might have said that
the reports Of a large number Of Big
Business organizations seem devised,
not to reveal the facts, but to conceal
them.
