GERMANY’S PURPOSE THREATENS ALL MEN. ASSERTS PRESIDENT (Continned From Page 1. • under!)- modern material achieve ment*. HAD PLACE IN THE SI X. Her men of science had made her industries prehaps the most compe tent industries in the world, and the label ’Made in tiermany' was a guarantee of good workmanship ami of material. She had access to all the markets of the world and every other man who traded in those markets fewrad German? because of her effective ami almost irresis tible compelit on. She had a place fn the sun. Why was she not satis fied? What mere did she want? There was nothing in the world of peace that she did not already have and have in abundance. We boast of the extraordinary pace of American advancement. We show with pride the statistics of tne increase of our industries and of the population of our cities. Well, those statistics did not match the recent statistics of Germany. Her oid cities took on youth, grew fas- . ter than any American cities ever grew; her old industries opened • ’heir eyes and saw a new world • and went out for its conquest; and • yet the authorities of Germany were not satisfied. You have one part of the answer to the question whv she was not satisfied in her methods of competition. There is no important industry in Germany up on which the government has not laid its hands to direct it and. when necessity arises, control it. You have only to ask any man whom you meet, who is familiar with the conditions that prevailed before the war in the matter of in . ternational competition, to find out the methods of competition, which the German manufacturers and ex porter* used under the patfo.iag* and support of the government of Germany. You will find that they were the same sorts of competition that we have tried to prevent by law within our own borders. If they could not sell their goods cheaper than we ecQild sell ours, at a profit to ’.hemselves. they cou’d gel a subsidy from the government which made ft possible to sell them cheap er. anyhow; and the conditions of competition were thus qon trolled in large mer.surc by the German gov ernment itself. But that did not satisfy the German government. \VISHKI> POLITICAL CONTROL All the while there was lying be hind its thought. In Its dreams of the future, a political control which would ed&ble it in the long run to dominate the labor and the industry of the world. They were not con tent with success by superior achievement, they wanted success by authority. I suppose very few of you thought much aixtut the Ber- Itn-to-Bagdad railway. The Berlin to-Bagdad railway was construcicd in order to run the threat of force down the flank of the industrial undertaking* of a half dozen of other countries, so that when German •■ompetition came in it would not be resisted too far—because there was " Always the possibility of getting • Jermanjarmies into the heart of that country* quicker than any other armies could he got there. Look at the map of Europe now. Germany. In thrusting upon us again and again the discussion of peace, talks about what? Talks about Belgium, talks about Northern France, talks about Alsace-Lorraine? Well, those are deeply interesting subjects to us and to them, but they are not talking about the heart of the mat ter. Take ' fha map and look at it. Germany has absolute control of Austria-Hungary, practical control PYRAMID For Trial Piles Free w. Hi The Quicker Vo« Get a Free Trial of Pyramid Pile Treatmeat the Bet ter.

I saw a map in which the whole thing was printed in appropriate black the other day. and the black stretched all the way from Ham burg to Bagdad—the hulk of Ger man power inserted into the heart of the world, (f it can keep that, she has kept all that her dreams contemplated when the war began. If she can keep that, her power can disturb the world as long as she keeps it—al wavs, provided, for I feel bound to put this provision in. a provision in, always, provided the present influences that control the German government continue to con trol it. PAX-GEKMANS want power. T believe that the spirit of free dom can get Ir.to the hearts of Germans and find as fine a welcome there as it can find in any other hear:.*. But the spirit of freedom does not suit the plans of the pa i- Germans. Power can not be used wirh concentrated force against free peoples if it is used by free people. You know how many intimations come to us from one of the centra! powers that it is more anxious for peace than the chief central power: .and you’ know that it means that the people In that central power know that if the war ends as it "stands, they will in effect theni srlv* be vassals of Germany, not withstanding that their populations .ire compounded with all the people of that part of the world, and not withstanding the fact that |hey do not wish in their pride and proper spirit of nationality to be so ab sorbed and dominated. ilennany is determined that the political power of the world shall belong to her. There have been such ambition* before. They have been in part realised. But mver before have those ambitions been based upon so exact and precise and scientific a plan of domination. May I not say that it is amazing to me that any group of people should be so ill-informed as to sup pose. as some gijoupa in Russia ap parently suppose, that any reforms planned in the interest of the peo ple can live ’n the presence of a Germany powerful enough to under mine or overthrow them by intrigue or force? FATUOUS AS DREAMER Any body of free men that com pounds with the present German government Is compounding for its own destruction. But that Is not the whole of the story. Any mau in America or anywhere else who sup poses that the free Industry and en terprise of the world can continue if the pan-German plan !s achieved and German power fastened upon the world, is as fatuous as the dreamers of Russia. What I am opposed to is trot the feeling of the pacifists, but their stupidity. My heart Is with them, but my mind has a contempt for them. I want peace, but I know how to get it. and they do not. You will notice that I sent a friend of mine. Colonel House, to Europe, who is as great a lover of ;»eace an any man in the world; but I did not send him on a peace mis sion. I sent him to take part in a conference as to how the war was , to be won And he knows, as I know, that that is the way to get peace, if you want it for more than a few minutes. “All of this a preface to the con ference that I referred to with re gard to what we are going to do. If we are true friends of freedom —our own or anybody else's —we will see that the power of this country and the productivity of this country is raised to its absolute maximum, and that absolutely nobody is al lowed to stand in the way MUST STAND TOGETHER. “When I say that nobody is al lowed to stand in the way. I don't mean that they shall be prevented by the power of the government but by the power of the American spirit. Our duty, if we are to do this great thing and show America to be what we believe her to be. the greatest hope and energy of the world, the-i must we stand together night and day until the job is finished. • While we are fighting for free dom we must see. among other things, that labor is free; and that means a number of ihteresiing things. It means not only that we must d* what we have declared our purpose to do,, see that the condi tions of labor are not rendered more onerous by the war—but also that we shall see to it that the instru mentalities by which the conditions of labor are improved are not blocked or checked. That we must do. That has been the matter about which I have taken pleasure in con ferring from time to time with your president. Mr. Gompers. And. if 1 may be permitted to do so. I want to express my admiration of his patri otic courage, hie large vision and his statesmanlike sense of what is to ite done. I like to lay my mind alongside of a mind that knows how to pull in harness. The horses that kick over the traces will have to be put in a corral. Now. to ’’stand together" means mat nobody must Interrupt the processes of our energy, if the in terruption can posibly be avoided without the absolute invasion ot freedom. To put It concretely, that means this: Nobody has a right to stop the processes of labor until all the methods of conciliation and settlement have been exhausted, and and I might as well say right here that I am not talking to you alone. You sometimes stop the courses of labor, but there are others who do the same. And that I am speak ing of my own experience not only, out that I am speaking of others, when I say that you are reasonable in a larger number of cases than the capitalists. MUST TRANSACT BUSINESS. 1 am not saying these things to hem personally yet, because I have not had. a chance. But they have <o be said not in any spirit of criticism, because i would like to see all the critics exported. But in order to clear the atmosphere a: d come down to business, every body on both sides has got to trans act business, and the settlement is never imposisble when both side® want *o do the square and right thing. Moreover, a settlement is always hard to avoid when the par ties can be brought face to face. I can differ with a man much more radically when he isn't in the room than I can when he is in the room, because then the awkward thing is that he can coni'* back at me and answer what I say. It is always dangerous for a man to have the floor entirely to himself. And. there fore. we must insist in every in stance that the parties come Into each other’s presence and there discuss the issues between them, and not separately in place- which have no communication with each other. i always like o remind myself of .i delightful saying of an English man of a past generation. Charles laimb He was with a group of friends and he spoke very harshly of some man who was not present. I ought to say that Lamb stuttered a little bit. And one of his friends said. “Why. Charles. I didn t know that you knew so-and-so?" *'6h, tee I’Hh Al LANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 191? said. “I don't. 1 can't hate a man I know’." There is a great deal of human nature, of very pleasant human na ture in that saying. It is hard to hate a man you know. I may admit parenthetically that there are some politicians whose methods I do not at all believe in. but they are jolly good fellows. I>ES E RYES CO-O PER AT ION. If they only would not talk the wrong kind of politics with me, I would love to be with them. And, so ft is all along the line in serious matters and things less serious. \Vc are all of the same clay and spirit, and we can get together If we desire to get together. Therefore, my coun sel to you is this: la»t us show ourselves Americans by showing that we do not want to go off in sep arate camps or groups by ourselves, but that we want to co-operate with all other groups in a common enter prise. which is to release the spirits of the world from bondage. 1 would be willing to se that up as the final test of an Americhm. That is the meaning of democracy. 1 have been very much distressed, my fellow citizens. by some of the things that have happened recently. The mob spirit is displaying itself here and there in this country. I have no sym pathy with what some men are say ing. but I have no sympathy with the men that take their punishment into their own hands; and I want to say to every man who does join such a mob that I do not recognize him as worthy of the free institutions of th». United States. • There are some* organizations in this country whose object is anarchy and the destruction of law. but i would not meet their efforts by making myself a partner in destroy ing law. 1 despise and hate their purposes as much as any man, but i respect the ancient processes of justice, and I would be too proud not to see them done justice, how ever, wrong they are. And so I want to utter my earnest protest ag-ainat any manifestation of the spirit of lawlessness anywhere or in any cause. Why. gentlemen, look what it means. We claim to be the greatest democratic people in the world, and democracy means first of all that we can govern our selves. If our men have not self control then they are not capable of that great thing vPhich we call democratic government. A man who takes the law into his own hands V> not the right man to Co-operate in any form of or development of law and institution. .And some of the processes by which the strug gle between capital and labor is car ried on are processes that come very near to taking the law into your own hands. 1 do not mean for a moment to compare them with what I have just been speaking of, but I want you to see that they are mere gradations of the manifesta tions of the unwillingness to co operate, and the fundamental" les son of the whole situation is that we must not only take common counsel, but that we must yield to. and obey common counsel. Not all of the instrumentalities for this are at hand. 1 am hopeful that in the very near future new instrumen talities may be organized by which we can see to it that various things that are now going on shall not go on. There are various processes of the dilution of labor and the unnecessary substitutian of labor and bidding in different markets and unfairly upsetting the whole competition of labor, which ought not to go on—l mean now on the part of employers—and we must in terject into this some instrumen tality of co-operation by which the , fair thing will be done all around. I am hopeful that some such instru mentalities may be devised, but whether they are or not, we must use those that we have, and upon every’ occasion where it is neces sary to have such an instrumen tality. originated upon that occasion, if necessary. And so, my fellow’ citizens, the reason that I came away from Washington is that I somet'niM get lonely down there—there are so many peop'c In Washington who know thing® that are not so: and there are so few people in Wash ington who know anything about what the people of the United States are thinking about. 1 have to come away to get reminded of the rest of the country; have to come away and talk to men who are up against the rea! thing. And say to them: •( ant.with you if you are with me.” And the only test of being with me is not to think about me person ally at all. But merely to think of me as the expression for the time being of the power and dignity’ and hope of the American people. PRESDENT IS UPHELD. Next in importance to the president’s address was the report of the executive council, the keynote of the convention to be submitted today. Preliminary committee meetings had indicated that the policies of President Gompers and his associates on the council would be upheld by the rank and file of the fed eration. With an appeal to all American work ingmen to place their full and undi vided force behind the fighting men at the front, and a picture of what labor may expect if Germany wins the war. President A. A. Landon, of the Buffalo chamber of commerce today welcomed the American Federation of Labor at the opening of its convention here. A former labor leader himself, who has seen first hand in Europe how troops in the field give their lives and bleed for naught when workers at home engage in disputes instead of putting all their energy Into keeping the fight ing men supplied, Mr. Landon appealed to all labor to sink everything In a tre mendous effort to do its part to win the “President Wilson." declared Mr. Lan don. “has said we are fighting a war for democracy. We are not only fight ing a war for democracy, but a war for industrial freedom and self-protection, a war to conserve that which we now have. A victory for Germany would mean slavery for the American people for generations to come, and the peo ple who work will be the greatest suf ferers. SAW ENGLAND SUFFERING. “I spent the summer of 1915 and 1916 in France and Italy, doing what I could in helping them In their efforts to increase the efficiency of their in dustries. so that they could hold back the German army and possibly defeat them. In 1915 England was in a very sad way. "1 was in England when the rrinces.s Pat Canadian regiment was literally cut to pieces. You know they went in a full regimeni of 2.400 men and came out with 'SO men and eight officers, and the most of them wounded. 1 was talk ing t a young Canadian officer, and hi tpld me they had run out of ammuni tion. that the artillery had run out of shells, and that they had to crawl out on their bellies leaving approximately 2.200 men behind, dead and missing. They even bad to witness one of their officers -ruclfied before their ver. - , eyes. "And what was happening in England? A iatse amount of munition was com pleted and read- to ship and could hav been used i:i this very battle.

NEW YORK, No'. 12. —A more optimistic view of European conditions, firmness in Liver pool and the stronger early show of the stock market, served to stimulate buying in the cot ton market early today.

CLARK & CO 8 COTTON LETTER. NBW OBUANB. Nov. 12.—The action of i the market this morning has shown how close ly commercial views are linked with devel- ; opments In tne war situation. Opening trades were 30 to 42 up and the market made Only a moderate concession to realizing attracted by the rise. Liverpool is irregular. Old contracts un- • chanced, new all the way up to 54 points, with the distant positions shiwing the largest ' gains. This reflects an unfavorable view of 1 importation and that relief may be further dls ’ tant. 1 Allusion in American and British press of ' a more extensive movement of men and sut>- l-ltea probably suggests to the trade a atilt greater scarcity of tonnage for commercial neeiis. However, there are indications that larger <>learancea of cotton from Atlantic ports 1 are (lending. 'the market continues strong around 26.29 for January at this writing, but qnlet. It appears that 27c offers a greater obstacle to advance. There does not seem to be the reso lute confidence of support thliat there was at low levels, probably because the price is suf ficiently near the maximum expectation for this petiod of (be season. GOVERNMENT STARTS MOVE BUY POTATOES BY POUND The United Slates department of agricul ture In <-onne<rion with the perishable division of the food administration now have on a <-am paign to Induce trade over the entire coantry to condiiet all transactions in potatoes <>n the basis of the hundredweight instead of as at present on tht basis of bushels, barrels and bags of various sizes ranging from 80 pounds to goo pounds. State laws very as to weight per bushel on many commodities, and a bushel in one city may not be contparAble to one i nftnother city. A hundred pounds is standard throughout the en the country and never varies. Hi Its use end less confusion would be avoided, controversies be tween members of the trade eliminated, and ;ind intelligent comparison of prices in different sections could be made. At this time when the I'.puMie Is as interested in the food question such n basis of prices Is greatly to t.» desired. A number of the largest cities have recently adopted this basis ns well as many of the large* shipping centers. M'hy should not At lanta join with these and assist In making It universal. You can easily do so by ask- Ing your grocer: ‘’How much are potatoes by the pound'' instead of by the bush'd or peck. In this maimer you will always get just what < .»<! pre paying for and therefore, would not ’■e affected hy the difference in the measur ing. The same applies to - the grocer on his ul.rebases. Cannot Atlanta tm <-onnted upon to assist iu this necessary national question and ao <-on tinue to do h»r «hare toward solving the food conservation. • Atlanta Live Stock ' (Corrected by W. H.
