IRCULATION
HJB1-E THAT
I
V
AMERICAN LABOR OPPOSES PRESENT
PL ANS OK El ROPE AN LABOR.
Tho TnternaiUnal Federation of Trade Unions will
have to drop “isms and dogmas that have no proper
plaea in the trade union movement, before it can ex
pect co-operation from American labor. This is tho
view of Samuel iSompers, expressed in the leading
article in tho June issue of the American Federa
. tioniat Mr. Compers says, in part:
It is i. ported that representatives of the
International Federation of Trade Unions arc
soon to v.sii Canada and the United Stutes
to present the viewpoint of tiielr organiza
tion and 'to change the viewpoint of Ameri
can labor 'award that organization.
l! is to he hoped that if such a delega
tion comes it will bring some substantial
intimation that the policies of tlie Interna
tional Federation of Trade I .. . ms are under
going change and that certain of its declara
tions are to be modified or rescinded.
Amtuicun labor lias every desire to par
ticipate in Hie international affairs of trade
unionism, its only insistence being that in
ternational trado unionism must not be per
verted by isms and dogmas lhat have no
proper place In the trade union movement.
After reviewing tho failure of h'uropeun labor to
lake any concerted action because of the occupation
of die Ruhr and contrasting this failure with previous
throats of international strikes, he continued:
Nothing Is to be gained in international
relations by a policy that does not contem
plate absolute frankness on every side.
American labor lias sought repeatedly to
make Its point of view clear to the Internu
1 >tli»nil Federation of Trade Unions.
One oi the points upon which there has
been and is disagreement is the question
of opposition to war. American labor is us
bitterly opposed to war and as urgently de
sirous ol peace as labor anywhere in the
world. American labor, however, refuses to
b1 deluded either by dreams of an impossible
I topia or by hopes in a fantastic program
for international cessation of work upon a
prearranged signal.
It is possible thut there might be a war
of such a character that ail wage earners
everywhere would refuse either to fight or to
produce munitions. It is equally possible
there might be a war in which a refusal of
participation would constitute treachery to
the whole com e of human freedom and world
progress. Nothing more heinous can lie con
ceived than a refusal upon the part of the
workers of tho all i d and associated nations
to participate in the late'war for the de
struction of Hie Kaiserist eystin of political
uutoc racy.
There appears to he running through
much of tlie huropean labor movement at
tlil,j time a feeling that the workers are iii
tlie world but not of it; that they form a
group set apart from, and of necessity hos
tile io. every other group; and that every
motion must lie accompanied with a throat
. or a gesture of defiance.
BALANCE OF TRADE AGAINST UNITED
STATES.
While It is not receiving a groat dial of publicity
the faft is the foreign trade balanace is now against
tlie I tilted States. The la t published report, that for
March, shew a balance again t this country of $61,
"00.000 in addition to what the Department of Com
merce rails the 'invisible" trade balance against us
estimated by it to be $75,000,000 a month. Of course
this is largely, if not wholly, offset by interest due
the United .States and Americans.
The New lork World and other authorities con
tend that this I-hail re in trade balances is largely n
ie.-uit (>f the Fordnoy McCumber tariff and other In
fluence* which have permitted American producers to
increas prices, to ttich an extent Hint foreigners can
not purchase in American markets while Americans
cm buy many flings in foreign markets and pay
the tarilf on them and profit by the transaction. The
American market has beet me a better one for Euro
peans to t-ell in tlian to purchase from. Our exports
ure declining while our Imports are growing.

SENATOR MOSES A “GLOOMY GUS.”
Bcnuior Mo os, chairman or the Republican Sena
torial ( . imnittcc, after a survey of the field follow
ing a trip tit Europe, docs not see a rosy path ahead
for his "Political party He is strongly opposed to the
World Court, and declares the President will have a
hard time to put if over. lie also fears that the
Republicans will have hard sledding if they control Hit
next Satiate. He.says they will have to fight to hold
eight of the teats now occupied by Republicans whose
tjtrms expire March 4. liu'5, w)lJle tJle Bi*rooci«U are
wrtualjy cprU-iu of holding all the seats now held
l^y Wahocruts except feur. His comment on the
-*4 0
Presidency is scarcely more reassuring. He says
President Harding will probably be renominated
without serious opposition and that "lie may be re
elected" if he adheres to domestic affairs and steers
clear of international problems. He adds, however,
that if President Harding is renominated there is
likelj to be a "third candidate" in the Held.
Canada ha cut the tariff on sugar in two for
the purpose of reducing its cost to consumers. Cor
dell Hull. Chairman of the Democratic National Com
mittee, lias written President Harding urging him
to do likewise. It the President should act in the
premises it is likely that Canada's example would
have more influence with him( than Mr. Hull's advice.

vetoes tlie work of the late Ohio Legislature looked

Ar/e You Cultivating Your Mental Garden? j
(San Francisco Journal.)
It lias been said a man's mind may be likened to|
a garden which may be- cultivated or allowed to run
wild; whether cultivated or neglected it must, and
will, bring forth.
Your mental garden, to bring forth richly, must
be tended every day. If you have been content to be
slipshod in your planting, if you have been lax, in
different or mentally lusty, determine today to have
a garden of which you may well be proud.
Daily you plant seeds. What kind are you plant
ing, careful or careless sends? Seeds of cheer, hope,
joy, tolerance, humility cr seeds of selfishness, anxiety,
anger, self-pity, scorn, envy, bitterness and the like j
Do you spread cheer or are you a long-facad
pessimist? Are you hopeful or do you express
anxiety, lour and doubt? Have you tolerance for
the views of others, or are you impatient and scorn-i
ful? Does a brother's deserved success cause you'
envy, or do you rejoice with him? Are you erratic
or capricious in your friendships? Do you magnify
the eo-ealled faults of your neighbors or minimize
i I heir weaknesses? Are you pleasant and agreeable
!iri company, but heavy, dull or serious at home?
These are a few of the seedlings you are planting
every day. Cultivate the soil vigorously; uproot the
unruly, unlovely weeds which hinder your progress.
Think about your mental garden. It is your richest
possession, your dearest treasure, that which reflects!
you as you really are. The way you tend it, feed I
it, nourish it, clothe it, proves what you think of if:
and desire it to be.
.Make a fresh start this day to mirror to thel
world the dally cultivation you give your garden, j
The happiness, peace of mind, growth and success
which are your divine Inheritance cannot then es
cape you.
Twelve Needed Inventions.
I -
(Now York World.)
Through the British institute of Patentees Sir
j William Bell offers twelve suggestions as to in
ventions needed by I he world. It is presumed that
| in the following list he confines himself to inven-j
tions not beyond the bounds of assumed possibility• !
Glass that will bend.
A smooth road surface that will not be
slippery in wet weather.
A furnace that will conserve 95 per cent,
of heat.
A process to make flannel unshrinkable.
A noiseless airplane and an airplane that
can be managed safely and easily by a boy
or girl.
A motor engine of one pound weight per
horse-power.
Methods to reduce friction.
Practical ways of utilizing the tides.
A process to extract phosphorous from
vulcanized India rubber so that it can be
boiled up and used again.
A pipe that can be cleaned easily and
effectively.
A temperance drink that wiill keep and
yet not pall on tile palate.
Talking moving pictures.
Seeing what they do with autorooibiles, the sug
gestion of boys and girls driving airplanes is dis-'
concerting. lor the rest, the list stands inspec-!
tion. The swift development of hydraulic electric
engineering has turned attention more than ever
before to the utilization or the limitless tidal power |
now going to waste. But we could get along with- j
out this a little longer if we could devise a more
economical furnace and anti-frictional means more
satisfactory than ball bearings. A rubber famine
might he stayed off a few years longer by better
use of the rubber we have. A temperance drink that
will not this does verge on the exceeding difficult!
But in this and the talking moving pictures Sir
William shows his breadth of vision. Already the
movies are called the fourth of our industries in
magnitude, lalkmovies that reully worked would add
immensely to an industry that is growing with almost
fabulous speed.
We need a return to the party methods of enun
ciating political programs and selecting candidates.
1 liat Is. after all. the only reully representative
method.”—Elmer Dover. Now, Elmer! You know
: you cribbed that right out of “Uncle Mark" Hanna’s
