THE CAPITALIST INTER- NATIONALE Where Iron Is, There Is the Fatherland, by Clarence K. Streit: The man Free Huebsch, publisher, sR. STREIT closes . this book with the following quotation' from Gustave Tery: “The first article of a covenant of a.true society of nations ought not to be naive appeal to fraternity nor a declaration of ‘immortal princi- ples,” but simply this: Ceal and iron can no longer in any country remain private property.” . The book explains why. Mr. Streit has merely reported for Americans the facts of the sensational controversy that has been taking place in France over the post-war exposure of the Franco-German international coal and iron combine. This combine through- out the war' was able to protect its mines and mills from bombardment, while its owners on both sides of the frontier made vast profits through furnishing munitions' to both the French and British governments. Until the last'days of the war, when Pamphlets, B, W, York. New the American tfoops started an of- - fensive, neither the great Briey iro industries held by the Germans, ndr the great Bruay coal basin held by the French, suffered from air or other raids by the enemy, though both re- gions were within a few miles of the enemy'’s lines, and in spite of the fact that the continuance of the war by Germany depended on this “gentle- man’s agreement.” \ American troops were trained on the sectors in ftont of these interna- tionally owned coal and-iron ‘indus- - tries, because there never had been any fighting up till then on these fronts, the quietest on the western battle lines. d it was the Ameri- cans who started the first raids and offensive that scrapped the “gentle- man’s agreement’ that had protected these properties of French and British capitalists, who were coining fabulous fortunes out of their governments in the munition business. “American newspapers have not re- ported the scandal which has excited France because of the exposure of these facts.

Farm Agent, Cambridgo, Oblo, Mention the Leadet‘When Writing Adyertisers were permitted immunity from the de- ° struction of war in order that their profits and the war itself could £o on, while hundreds of thousands of pa- triotic men gave to; their last drop of blood in the great étruggle,, seems al- most (impossible. specially it seems impossible because the continuation of the ‘war by Germany, from the start of the conflict in 1914, depended on the iron production of the Briey region, which was within easy gun range of _the French lines. Yet the French per- mitted the Briey industry to continue unmolested, and on their part the Ger- mans spared the coal industry worked by the French at Bruay, which was within even easier gun range of the battlefront. But however impossible these statements may appear, one is forced to believe, after reading Mr. Streit’s admirable report of the de- bates and investigations of the French chamber of deputies and his summary of the French press comment concern- ing the scandal. ¢ The reason, of course, was that the coal and iron industry before the war, during it and sinece, was and is con- trolled by an international combine of Krench and ( German ‘- capitalists.- French financiers owned much of the Briey iron industry which Germany worked unmolested by the French guns during the war and German financiers mueh of the Bruay coal in-- dustry, worked by’ the French during the war and unmolested by the Ger- mans. i ~Public opinion in. all countries was excited to fever heat against Socialists and labor leaders who sought to hold international parleys in Switzerland and Sweden, while their countries were fighting. But the public never knew of the internationale of the financiers, whose “gentleman’s agree- ment” permitted the war to be pro- longed while iron and coal magnates, on both sides of the frontier, made big profits. N M. Tery’s suggestion for the first article of an ideal league of nations covenant will strike the reader of this book as imperatively necessary, to say the least, if future wars are to be avoided. ; MORE ON NEW YORK’S FIASCO ‘Socialism on_Trial, by Morris Hillquit; The_Freeman Pamphlets, published by B. ‘W. Huebsch, New York. This is Mr. Hillquit’s able address to the “jury” on behalf of the accused Socialist assemblymen, who were sub- sequently ousted from the law-making body of the Empire state. Mr. Hill- quit is an eloquent Socialist lawyer, and whatever one may think of his “politics,” or the political beliefs of the ousted assemblymen, one can not read this summing up of the evidence in the case, and the author’s plea for a continuance of representative gov- ernment in America, without f£ull realization that minority parties, of | whatever principles = and creeds, whether personally obnoxious to us or not, must not be discriminaged against in thig fashion if freedom ahd Amer- ican institufibns are to endure.
