I T 101 . Tl 3 Tt P36 &mpers Editorial Asserts Letter ¥ From Secretary Is Admirable . Statement of Case. Commenting editorially upon _the Secretary Hughes letter on the Rus- sian situation, recently addressed to him, President Samuel Gompers of the 'American Federation of Labor, in the current issue of the Federa- tionist, places the stamp of approval | of organized labor upon it as “an | ofcial and admirable statement of the case.” “In importance,” he adds. “it ranks casily with the note of recent date and. as a definition"of policy, it is clear and precise. “For several reasons this fresh statement of conditions is of im- portance to labor. By propaganda it is sought to convince labor that trade relations with Russia would decrease unemployment in the United States. We now see clearly that this is pre- tense and only pretense. We see. too. that when propagandists speak of what the Russian people need they neglect entirely to speak of what the Russian people can buy. Between need and purchasing ability the®: is a vast gulf and no bridge.” In taking this stand. however. the American Federation of Labor places itself in a role antithetical to that occupied by the International Asso- ciation of Machinists, one of its largest member bodies. The latter organization. through officials, has made overtures to Russia to be al- lowed to act as agents for the place- ment of contracts in this country. Mr. Gompers, in_the course of the editori: “The fact of the matter Russian soviet propa ganda is without American Federati long been aware. soviet government the idea of tyranny—the dictatorship of the proletariat. Second, it aims to undermine all governments found- ed on any other principle. Above all, it frankiy,aims to undermine demo- cratic governments.” _— STUDENTS TO ENTERTAIN.

To the Editor of The Star: Recently there have been several ar- ticles in Washington newspapers by “A War Mother and Father” protest- ing against the removal to this coun- try of the bodies of American soldiers killed in France. As the War De- partment has most kindly consented to carry out the wishes of individual parents and as the body of tke son of this war mother and father may re- main in France if they so desire, 1t is not understood why these parents should attempt to contravene the re- turn of the bodies of 50,000 soldiers to the United States when the parents of these soldiers have expressed a de-; sire for their return. It may be true tiat, at the present time, France is caring devotedly and Wwhole-heartedly for these graves, but it is imposgible to prophesy conditions twenty years hence. It was stated that these bodies were dragged from the soil their sacrifice made sacred and buried in potters' flelds. Com- parison between .our national ceme- teries and potters’ ficlds is odious. Many of the parepts of deceased sol- diers are unable ‘financially to visit the resting places of their sons in France; they desire to give the graves personal attention; they wish permanent, and not mere transitory, care. What two persons have the temerity to attempt to prevent the execution of the desires of nearly 100.000 parents? These heroes have given to the last drop; they have died that you and I might live. Who dares say that it is not befitting that we ehould return their bodies to the e of Labor has irst of all. the founded upon Bl country for which they made thel supreme sacrifice? It is urged that every person desir- ing the return of his son or other relative to the United States make public such desire. join the “Bring- Home-the-Soldier-Dead Le, = - erate his wishes to the Wazu;')e;:;:- ment and impress upon Congress the importance of expéditious action.
