there is but one cause common
to alHslowing down, the one
crime Mother Nature never lets
/ go unpublished. Alexander the
Great carried on his fathers
project with such success that
he became a god in his own
eyes and fell and with him
went the dream. Byzantium, and
Rome, Spain and the Ottoman
empire, today are but names
that conjure romance and re-
call long-dead power that made
the then-nown world tremble
or cape at their magnificence
and excuses. But what has it
to do with us? This, we are in
clined to kid ourselves that our
civilization" is the final fruit
of these long years and those
things don't happen now. There
is no justification for such an
idea. And there is today rising
on our west and on our east two
great nations, growing mighty
by leaps and bounds, and one of
them is the long-prophesied
yellow PERIL" the other detest-
ed dictatorship that has swept
democracies under with great
ease, and is poised for attack on
| the last European democracy.
1t is not defe,atism to face the
facts in any case nor to read
/ history and gravely look at our
position. In each of the wan
ing kingdoms of the past the
common man became of no use
to the state nor had a voice in
government and he said TO him
| self whats the use?" and as
he said that nature sealed the
| doom of that people.
| Not that it was as simple as
that, for the earth has millions
upon millions of soldier graves.
| 1t forebodes i'll to make things
kdifficult for the common man,
because the ordinary man is
1.-THE nation and when he takes
/ stock of things and says tc
| himself: Whats the use -
lno man may hear him but
mother Nature will.
| The wise, the highly educat.
led, the government and the
mighty in religion of the land
they are as nothing for they
were set aside py the common
man to be his servants and his
leaders and when they mindful
serve a smiling sun looks down
upon happy land.

English Children and Nobility

ToTpedeing of an English
ship loaded with prisoners of
war in mid-ocean by a German
submarine, sending nearly one
thousand of their countrymen
to watery graves has shown to
the world the determined Ger
man win-or-die frame of mind.
1t also focused public attention
on the fact that Canada has
been turned into a prison camp
by the English and both Canada
and the United States have be-
come Ravens for old-worId rich
and nobility and that children
are being sent here by the ship
load for safety and protection,
and for us to feed and clothe.
In no way whatsoever do we
do anything but extend a well
come to refusgees from the
horrors of war such as is rag
ing overseas, but we regard a
fleeing nobility as straws in the
wind blowing over Europe. The
high-and-mighty nobility of the
old world seeking refuge here in
the "uncouth wilds" of North
America indicates they think it
is going to get hot over home.
Anyway since they are not ex-
pected to fight like the common
folks they would probably just
be in the way there.
When it is over and they go
home, what tales they will have
to tell those who stuck it out
at home, Of their American
cousins who inhabit the western
hemisphere!

THE RULES 81 The GAME
b q B JoEEs

A great deal is being said and
written about the political bottfe-
mech, which is accused Of holding
back national preparedness. What
is this sbottle-neck?
As near as your Washington cor
respondent can get to the answer the
epolliieal bottle-neck7 may be laid
at the door OF Government officials
who hizht for rnonopolles and start
crlmibal lkfld civil prosecutions, such
as have previously included the Am-
erican Medical Association, lumber
manufacturers, petroleum producers
and a wide variety OF manufacturers.
There have been more prosecutions
under the Sherman antitrust law in
the past four years than in the pre-
Vious 46 years since the statute was
enacted These prosecutions usually
attack established methods that our
oldest business and Industrial insti-
lutiOns have followed for a century.
Doctors, glumbeEn1en, aud other VIC
tins, have believed they were within
proper moral and legal rights; but
they have had 70 defend themselves
against serious charges.
1t is against all the fair rules Of
the game to prosecute and persecute
private, American business and in
dustry ip the present terrible times.
American industry only wanted and
still wants to know the rEles Of the
game before the game is played,
