ENGLISH RULE
By ]. B. BENTLEY

| picked up a map of the worl
and looked over some of the holding
of dear old England. / am not goinl
to cry that it is a new discovery be
cause it isn't. Every school child IL
the fifth grade knows it. But it II
significant at this time for everyone
to realize the vast amount of the
England at this time. England's con
trolls are so vast and scattered al
over the face of the globe that 1t is
impossible to list them by name In
this column. But they include Asia
Africa, India, America, Europe and
Oceanic such as Australia, New Zea
land, etc. Some of the numerous is
lands under England, such as Pit
cairn, are only two miles square and
run up to continents such as Austria
| liza with 2,974,581 square miles. If we
go back and take look at the British
Isles, the seat of control of all this
vast wealth of land and natural re-
sources, it looks like fly speck on
the globe. But they all, big and small,
pay tribue to this Imperialist form of
government that we fought years ago
to drive out of the United States.
But English Imperialism has been a
shrewd, old master. When she finds
a nation such as we are that she
can't control through her strength of
arms she ties herself in with the big,
monied interests and speaks through
them. In the World war England
crooked her finger at us to come and
help save the war loans that were
made to her by the private interests
of this country First we put up the
money so England could fight and
then we went over and did the fight
ing. For what? To save democracy?
Nope. To help England keep under
her control the millions of people scat
tered all over the face of the globe
so they would continue to pay tribute
to that little parcel of land, the British
Isles and the seat of Imperialism. To
keep the king and his cohorts riding
on the backs of the people. In the
World war there were enough tears
shed in this country over poor little
Belgium and the atrocities of the Huns
to have rivaled the Mississippi river.
But we later learned that they were
myths, lies and fabricated bunk for
the purpose of working on an emo
tional public to bring them to fever
heat of war. 1t worked. And Eng
land was saved so she would be the
favored one to draw tribute from mil
lions of people, black and white, in
virtual slavery to dear old England.
And we of this country were given
the right to keep and hold, as re-
of that war, the greatest
depression the world has ever known.
Our war veterans are still living in
misery and want in land of abund-
ance, watching their families stagger
along on the ragged edge of starva-
ton. England has the filters again
because her people are restless be-
cause of need for the actual necessi-
ties of life.
There is world wide restlessness
Of the people. They want change.
| don't think they know exactly what
kind of change they want, but they
all agree that there must be a change |
If some kind. Since the Russian re-
this restlessness has never
ceased. 1t cropped up in Finland and |

was quelled by the Mannerheim mass
acre. 1t showed up again in Germany
1t took a little different form from
Russia and Finland, but it is the same
restless want of the people. 1t came
to the front in Italy and followed more
| on the lines of the German movement,
but Italy's strong religious movement
carried it off on bypath. We find 1t
again strong in China, but it has been
delayed by the invasion by Japan.
Spain perhaps has showed their dis
satisfaction stronger than any other
nation in recent years. And it took
the organized capital of the rest of
the world to beat her back to her
knees. Mexico forced a change in
their government and South America
is as restless as the ocean and is
kept down only by the force of arms
and their lack of being able to get
together on any one plan. All Of these
movements have started after or dur
ing the World war.
With the people of the world in a
restless mood of wants, England does
MT feel at all secure in her holdings.
Imperialism is getting less popular
with the people the world over. And
she is scared stiff that socialism will
gain a foothold in Europe and will
wipe the imperialist rule from the
face of the earth. Sc she is again
reckoning her finger at the United
States to come and help her hold what
she has stolen from the people of the
rest of the world Help her to rape
and plumber and make millions of
people that are thousands of miles
from her shores pay tribute to her
Come and help me-" England cries
to the United States. Come and help
me save democracy for the world. We
will use little Finland to cry over this
time. We used little Belgium the last
time to whip up the sympathies of the
people"
II you have any idea that imperial
England has any concern for the well
fare of the common people of any
you had better go back and
read up on England's past. She has
been a ruthless slave driver and has
dominated the people of every country
that she dared to invade. The people
Of Ireland have raised up in arms time
and again against England in the
hopes of freeing themselves of English
tyranny. If England is so concerned
over the welfare of the common peo-
pie of Finland why did she help the
Mannerheim clique butcher the Fin
nish people few short years ago.
Herbert Hoover portrays the hui
manitarian side of England as well as
any individual | know Of. He showed
clearly what he thought of the COM
mon man when he turned the troops
loose on the bonus marchers in Wash
ngton, d. c., burning their shelters
and driving them out with bayonets
because they dared ask the govern
nent to pay a bill that was owed
hem. Yes, Mr. Hoover learned how
o be a humanitarian in England when
lie was living in that country as a
British subject And his humanitar-
an record while living in England is
Is spotted as a rotten apple
England is up to her old tricks
again. She wants nation whipped
,ut hasn't the intestinal fortitude to
ry it alone, so she is trying to sell
Finnish sympathy to the people of
he United States, and Mr.. Hoover is
he head salesman.

Dies Committee
Releases Policy;
Refuses Evidence

Observation-Disclosures
| ing a gentle slap on the wrist, the
house committee allegedly investigat-
ing un-American activities concluded
questioning of William Dudley Policy,
anti-semitic leader of the silver shirts.
Policy was Immediately taken into
custody by local police officials and
held pending extradition proceedings
to North Caroline where he is wanted
for allegedly breaking parole.
Following the release of Policy by
the committee, Gardner Jackson, legis-
lative representative Of Labor's Non
Partisan League, revealed that he had
offered the committee evidence OF
"gnuine pertinence and value" con-
corning Policy. The offer was not ac-
epted.

YOUR DOLLAR
1910 AUTOMOBILES
By CONSUMERS UNION


Don't pick your new car for pc
Torrance only, advises Consumer
Union. That engine which respond
to feather-touch, or floats you up tn
fsteepest hill in high, is likely to de
liver fewer miles per gallon than on
which performs less ambitiously. An
watch out also for excessive weight
Each extra pound costs more to rur
High horsepower is sales slogan
But at legal speeds, high-powere,
car may have less disable horsepowe
than one with lower rating.
These are a few of the conclusions
voiced in c. us 11-page ratings O
the 1910 cars, featured in Consumers
Union Reports for February.
AUTO LABOR
Auto workers have make substantial
wage gains through organization il
the United Automobile Workers (CIO)
But, the union says, the gains still dc
not provide an adequate annual in
come Workers in the Chrysler plant
| "a union shop average just 1888 q
year less than the government says
family of four requires for ordinary
necessities.
The auto companies pile up big pro-
fits even during lean years. Net pro-
fits of the II leading companies over
the 10-year period 1927-37 were 49,
375, 100000. If auto workers had won
that extra $233, there would still have
been huge profits.
Nearly all autos reported on by G.
u. are union-made. Ford continues to
be bitterly anti-union and is on the
CLOS boycott list.
CANNED SPINACH
Canned spinach can't equal the flaw
or of the fresh variety. But it's much
less trouble to prepare, and cheaper
in some seasons Of the year. Among
the best quality of the 49, brands
tested by c. u were: Coop National
Co-operatives Incl, United, Good, Mug
get, Premier, S. & w.
WE TOLD YOU so
In January New York City's Board
of Health voted to abandon the two
grade milk system and set up only
one grade. The decision marks c. U.
victory. In May 1896 and again in
November 1899, Consumers Union told
its members that there was no i'm
portant difference between New York
City Grade A and Grade B milk, no
reason to pay &c extra for Grade A.
Are you paying extra in your city
for meaningless Grade A labelling?
C. U. suggests that you ask your local
health department for figures.
BEANS
c. U. objects to the confusing sizes
and shapes of cans in which baked
beans are sold. A quarter-inch diff
terence in the can may not show up
On the grocer's shelf. But it may
mean an ounce or two less beans, less
value for your money. Watch for the
abel weigh when you buy canned
oods.

COAL CONvEYOR

Man-hours required per ton of coal
mined have declined since 1880 from
IL to less than 1 " man-hours, and
yet less than quarter of all mines
have been mechanical. Conveyors
are now fast replacing underground
cars. Mechanical leaders are taking
a further toll of miners jobs.

KEEP YOUR EYE
ON FARM LANDS

understand that c. E. Sprouse
has recently sold several farmsl
Well, YOU know that Sprouse has
been saying for some time that
farm land Is too cheap, and would
sell, and one, by one, the real
bargains would be picked up! So
l guess he must be right from the
number of farms he has sold, and
I suppose also he must get hold
Of some exceptionally good places
for sale which makes it much
easier for the buyer to find what
he wants.
For example: 80 acres in alfalfa

but a good piece of land for
$6250 3.

Dover Orioles
On Star Club OF
Shore League

The Dover Orioles are flying high
on the 1910 all-star team of the East
ern Shore League, for they placed five
of the IL men on the mythical nine to
lead all rivals. Milford and Salisbury
placed two each, while fredericksburg,
Pocomoke City and Centreville got
single representation. Cambridge and
Easton could not break into the line
up.
There were no unanimous choices,
but Cap Clark of the Orioles was big
favorite, holding down a dual role.
He nosed out Hugh Poland of Cam
bridge as the team catcher and was
also named manager, running slight
favorite ahead of Clarence Jonnard of
Milford and Poke Whalen of Pocomoke
City.
Second choice ballots were necessary
to name righthanded pitcher and the
call went to Jorge Comellas, Salibury
veteran. He tied with Pickell of Mil
ford and Galomb of Dover in first
choice votes, but had an edge of two
second selections which proved his
margin.
For the second straight year, Bob
Maier, of Salisbury was picked as
utility man and he is the only re-
peater from 1889.
Votes of the league writers were
collected and tabulated by the Nation
al Association Press Bureau. Honor
able mention is given players receiv-
ing vote but failing to place on the
team.
