Is European statecraft then powerless either to avert whose plans of conquest are not only patent, but in action? io THE ONLY WAY TO THE MAXIMUM. N THE course of the lucid analysis of German developments and German ambitions with which he prefaced his appeal to union labor at the annual convention of the Am@rican Federation of Labor at Buffalo, the President made pointed reference to that one of the Central Powers which is “more anxious for peace than the chief Central Power” because the people in that other Central Power know that if the war ends as it stands they will in effect themselves be vassals of Germany, n- eral conflict or to combine efficiently against a common enemy ‘notwithstanding that their populations are com- pounded with all the people of that part of the world and notwith- standing the fact that they do not wish, in their pride and proper spirit of nationality, to be so absorbed and dominated.” The force of the reference is obvious. If even Germany's allies dread the political ruthlessne: of an unconquered Prussianism, what ought to be the attitude of a nation it has deliberately and with ap- parent calculation made its enemy? Is there any class of free Americans that has not reason to make the last sacrifice rather than see itself or its children in a world dom- inated by Imperial German policies and methods? Is there any American worker who can think any purpose of organization more important than the preservation of the institutions and ideals to the protection of which he owes the best that he h been able to make of himself? If we are true friends of freedom—our own or anybody else’s—we will see that the power of this country and the pro- ductivity of this country is raised to its absolute maximum and that absoluely nobody is allowed to stand in the way of it, The maximum the President means can be attained only if capi- tal loyally foregoes part of ite profits and if labor loyally resolve; whatever its temptations, whatever the delay in adjusting ite ¢ the work itself shall never ceas a Reports like that from Chicago to the effect that because of the prevailing prices for potatoes, 100,900,000 bushels are doomed to rot or be fed to live stock are what persuade the poor consumer that Political Economy tly joke on humanity, ~ St colossal, ghi Hits From Ruy a return trip ticket. man is carried away by a beautiful enthusiasm who has to walk back.— 1 has It ts surprising how much you can | &round-he #ay in a four-minute talk if you know | run what you are talking about.—Mem- | Appeal. whic Commercial Appeal. . «8 ‘This is one cove where the soldier- will not b» done by the soldiera.— jumbla (S, C.)
