 Allied authorities controlling Ber- lin have ordered that 20 more Ger mans enter the city to stay.

Democracy at Home

The other day in one of the papers there was a Letter which struck
me so forcibly that l could not see anything On the page but one
paragraph. DR.. Embree of the Julius Rosenwad Fund had written:
1t is fine we are insisting on equality and decency in human relations
i'll Germany. But does America regard democracy as only a export
commodity? Is it too precious to use at home?"
Is Democracy only for export? Is it only something we preach to
others, not a thing in which we believe enough to practice it in our
daily life?
We say we believe in equality of opportunity. We say we believe
in fair and equal treatment for all. We say Americans are Americans
first, regardless of their country of origin, their religious faith o their
previous condition of Servtude - that as long IS they are true to
America they are our brothers. But is this merely lip service?
Those who bewail imperialism, and forget the man lii the next
block; those who spend their sympathy on famine-ridden India and
overlook the needs of our own starving; those who talk about the
tyrannieS of intoerant Europe and then backmail a neighbor because
he doesn't go to the same church-are all false friends of Democracy
They ire doing a disService to America-Ruth Taylor.

State soldier bonus proposals
are sure to play a part in the forth
coming convention of the Illinois
department of the American Lee
gIon. 1t is understood that one plan
would ask a minimum of $1,000
for each service man and woman,
at a cost to the state of more than
n billion dollars. There is a basic
consideration here. Illinois soldiers
went out to fight not as representa-
tlVes of this state, but for the Unit
ed States. Therefore, bonuses are
primarily a national responsibility.
The Legionnaires also could pom
e whether expenditures of such
totals of the public funds should
not go into projects that will be-
netlt all the people rather than
one-even an admittedly deserv-
mg-group. A billion dollars de-
voted to housing or to education
or to health would be a boon to
n entire state, and of course to
the veterans too. - The Chicago

NOW WE KNOW WHY
"ALF" WAS SWAMPED

For years, people have wonder
ed why Governor ALI Landon of
Kansas was Sc decisively defeated
by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1886.
Now the secret has been revealed.
Looking over the latest volume of
who's Who" we find that Ralph
Robey, Economist and journalist"
was a member of Landon's staff.
The best man in America couldn't
win an election if Robey supplied
him with his economics.
Long ago Robey discovered that
the way for an economist to make
money was to write the kind of
economics that pleased the ultra
conservatives. They are the people
who have the big money, and they
will generously reward the eco
nomst who quiets their consciences
by telling them that if there is
anything wrong in the world it's
caused by people who are seeking
to change the existing order of
things.
Just now Robey is writing news
paper and magazine articles to
prove that, while we could afford
to spend from $500, 600, 600, 900 or
$500, 900, 600, 900 to win a war, we
can't spend a thin dime to pro-
vide jobs for the unemployed after
the war is over.
Undoubtedly there are lots of
people who will applaud Robey,
but we are sure that constitute a
small majority. The great majority
of Americans are smart, and being
smart, there is n thing they
know, and that is that the one
thing we cannot afford is to have

MORE "M0NEY" But AP0oRER COUNTRY

cattle and sheep and other animals
the O.P.A. prevented from being
reproduced or that lend-lease
shipped out of the country.
By millions of homes not built;
by building materials sunk in tenn
porary war plants, and shipped out
of the country.
By thousands of ships built at a
great cost OF labor and materials
and now headed for the scrap
heap.
By millions of acres of farm land
robbed of fertility by forced war
cultivation without proper fertili-
zation.
But why go on? 1t is a poorer
country from sub-sOil to the top
of the tallest building in it.
The greatest loss, of course, con-
sists of 3OO,0O0 young men killed
in battle and in training action,
and over half a million manned
for life.
So, when paper wealth" is
mentioned in terms of billions it
is we'll to keep in mind that such
wealth" in fact consists of greater
claims on the productive power of
a poorer country. We had to spend
our wealth and u men, of course,
but it is up to our leaders, if we
develop any, to see that claims
based on war profits are adjusted
to the physical facts of national
life.
A Well-thought-Out system of
levying taxes upon such claims
will be found necessary if we are
to be spared either initiation on in
dustriaI stagnation.-United Mine

A BILLION VESTED ON ADVERTISING

The War Advertising Council has made public a report covering
Its activities during 1907 days of the world confict-January Is,
1912, to August IA, 1915"
The Council proudly proclams that it induced big business men
to invest more than one billion dollars in ertisng space" during
that period
What the Council doesn't reveal is that most of these business men
didn't have a thing to sell. If the money came out of their own pockets
they wouldn't spent 10 per cent of it.
IL didn't come out Of their pockets. 1t came out of Uncle Sans
pocket at a time when Uncle Sam was in desperate need of money.
This huge advertising bill was charged up against expenses and de-
Quoted from the profits of the big munitions makers.
If the money hadn't been squandered on useless advertising, 80
per cent of it would have gone to the Public Treasury to help sup
port the war.
AS a matter of fact this advertising campaign was one of the
most shameful performances of the war period. The business men who
squandered the money SO urgently needed by their country, and the
publishers who eagerly pocketed it, were in a real sense guilty of
Labor.

WHO SHALL CONTROL THE ATOM?

Now that science has developed a process of "atom-cracking",
which, either may bring a lew ira of unimaginabe proprety to man.

what I'LL apologists for the profit system think about it.
Those ladies and gletlemen who tell us how wrong it would be for
society to own the means of Hfe-are they also willing to have this
new and terrible means of destruction controlled by private individuals
and used to further the business of human exploitation?
We pinned a persistent non-Socialist down to that question the
other day and, after a lot of squirming, he admitted that maybe" it
will be necessary to sociaize control of the atom.
But, he insisted, nothing else. Not coal; not radio; not airplanes-
no, nothing but the atom.
How about educaton?" we asked. "Fow about water plants,
postal systems and garbage collections? Would you advise turning
those things over to private management"
And then it was that this non-Socialst slipped.
oh, we'll" he said, those things are under social control already
and l don't want to change anything"
So that's it, is it. These people who oppose Socialism aren't really
opposed to Socialism. They're opposed to change! That's why their
case is SO hopeless-Reading Labor Advocate.
