HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN . A Newspaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 1918
the Russian revolution have reacted
upon the world situation in two dif
ferent ways. In the first place, they
have shown up the singular foolish- |
ness of pure militarism even from the
militarists’ own point of view. The
'mll!tarllts of all countries have al- |
ways preached that nothing counts in
war but fighting, and they would be
anti-democratic at any cost.
| The result of their prodigiously
idiotic attitude toward the Russian
revolution is plain. President Wilson
went so far as to admit it In his last
speech, The result of allied militar
{ istic antagonism to the democratic
wave in Russia and of its refusal to
permit the Stockholm conference
| (which refusal was one of the most
stupendous madnesses in the history
of the modern age) is that an army
of millions is lost to the allied cause.
If that army had been kept for the
allied cause, as it might have been,
the war would very probably have
been over by this time,
Let me note in passing that owing
to precigely the same spirit a similar
state of affairs on a smaller scale ex
ists in Ireland today. Today instead
of being compelled to take British
soldiers from Flanders in order to in
timidate the youth of Ireland we
should have had the youth of Ireland
in the trenches of Flanders if only our
pure militarists had put their faith in
Ireland and in the democratic ideal
at the beginning of the war.
Secret Agreements.
The second way in which Russian
events have reacted upon the world
situation is more serious than the
first. [do not mean to imply that the
first 18 not serious. It is extremely se
rious. But I must not for a moment
be taken as agreeing with pacifists in
the proposition that it is fatal to the
full achievement of our just aims. I
am convinced that with the immense
ly powerful and immense, underrated
aid of the United States we can still
accomplish all that we ought to ac
complish, despite the disappea ance of
the Russian army as a coherent ma
chine. The revelations of the Bol
sheviki concerning the allied secret
agreements as to the objects of the
war have worked enormous harm to
the moral prestige of the allied Gov
ernments.
The objects of the war, as defined
by Mr. Asquith in November, 1914,
were admirable. No exception could
be taken to them. The objects of the
war, as disclosed by these secret
lagreementn. were quite other than
those publicly avowed, and some of
them are indefensible. More than
that, they show an amount of sheer
lunatic folly in high places which is
staggering, and yet, while these secret
agreements were still operative, we
had the spectacle in the House of
Commons of diplomatists of the old
antidemocratic schoo! urging that
world politics was a matter which
democracy could not comprehend and
in which it ought not to meddle!
No democracy, however inexpe
‘enced, could have descended to the
lepths of unteachable imbecillity
which these secret agreements reveal.
The one excuse for them in regard to
the Eastern Powers is that the Rus
sjan autocracy was in being when
they were made, and had to be hu
mored-—in other words, that the best
had to be made of a bad job.
In three years, whether or not the
, thought of governments has progress-

SHO\7S WHY PRICEFIXING
ONCOTTONINADVISABLE
demanding that corrective measures
should be applied through an exten
sion to the cotton markets of the re
| &lme of governmental price fixing
{ which has been adopted in other di-.
rections. It is argued by these per-.
sons that cotton and the products of
cotton are quite as much necessaries
| of life as wheat or coal, clothing bejng
‘as indispensable for human beings as
food or fuel.
The need of preventing excessive
brices for cotton, presumably oppres
sive for the great mass of the consum
ing publie, is asserted to be even more
obvious than the need of holding with
in bounds the prices of copper, iron
and steel, commodities which <o not
directly touch the dally living of the
majority of us. Hence vehement as
sertions in certain quarters that gross
Injustice is being done and glaring
!d!scrlmlnatlons are being permitted
'through allowing the price of cotton
to follow its own unchecked upward
course, while the authority of the Gov
ernment is employed to repress pre
cigely similar movements of the prices
| of other necessaries.
’ War profiteerine is repugnant to
every right-thinking person, and the
thought of inordinate profits, extorted
by the few from the many, or by one
class from other classes in the com
munity, by reason of advantage taken
of the harsh necessities of war, ex
cites just indignation and a stern de
termination to find a remedy, even at
Ithe cost of violence to all the tradi
tlonis and customs of peaceful times.
| In earlier days war profiteering was
| perhaps submitted to as an unavoid
able accompaniment of war itself. The
lhelghlened social conscience of our
| day, however, has moved the peoples
and governments engaged in the pres
ent war to strive to abate the evil. The
expedient of government price fixing
has been found readiest at hand for
i this purpose, and has been generally
employed by the countries engaged in
the war, notwithstanding important
economic doubts as to its value, in the
long run, entertained by the more far
seeing, und notwithstanding, also, the
far from satisfactory resuits which it
has been found to yield in actual prac
, tice wherever {t has been tried.
' Economic Forces Disregarded.
The difficulty with governmental
price fixing, as we know it, is that it
proceeds upon the basis of purely em
‘ pirical superficial comparisons and
not upon the basis of the deeper eco
_nomic forces which it brings into play
and of the ultimate consequences of
the operation of these forces. Thus
the price of wheat has been govern
mentally fixed at $2.25 per bushel for
the crop of 1917, and at $2 per bushel
( for the crop of 1918, not as a result
ed, the thought of democracies has
progressed. Democracies have learned
in three years: (1) That the most im
perative duty of mankind is to do its
‘best to put a stop to the institution of
war; (2) that the institution of war
is not likely to pegish 8o long as na
tions ave left free to arm themselves
‘according to the fancy of their rulers,
unrestricted by international control,
and, therefore (3), that the first condi
tion of permanent peace is a league
of nations formed with a view to in
ternational control of arms and the
|settl«ment of all disputes by a world
tribunal.
Do our European Governments show
the least official interest in the essen
tlal scheme of a league of nations?
They do not. They never mention it,
or, if they mention it, they do so In
order to sneer at it. And this is true
not of Great Britain only. If allied
Governments complain that they do
not always feel utterly sure of popu-
Jar support, the remedy is plain, and
it is in their own hands. Let them
cease to lag behind the general ad
vance of thought. Let them begin the
alphabet of peace at A, and not let
them fiddle about with Ps and Qs
until they have reached Ps and Qs
in the natural o-der. Let them seri
ously take up the supreme business
of a genuine league of nations. let
them agyee that all the nations of the
earth, and not merely the belligerent
nations, shall agsist at the conference
which might and should usher in a
new era of the world; the rest will
follow. In brief, let them display can
dor and imagination and faith. By no
other path will they arrive at a con
clusive peace.
Road to Victory.
Lest I should be misunderstood and
lest my word should be distorted by
people with whom I profoundly dis
agree, I must add my opinion that any
immediate peace would be meconclu
sive. It would be inconclusive hecause
by nothing except a military triumph
can the German military autocracy
be overthrown. If the German mili
tary autocracy were overthrown by
any other means, | would welcome an
armistice on the morrow of its ffl“]
whatever the state of battle. For the
sole important obstacle to a success
ful league of natlons is the German
military autocracy, and once it is de
throned the minor obstacles, such as
our own militarigts, can be dethroned,
too. Until the German military autoc
racy is either killed or mortally]
wounded, T am in favor of the most
ardent prosecution of the war. }
In common with the majority of!
Britons, I feel in my bones that, Rus
sia or no Russia, we can upset the
(erman military autocracy, and I
think we owe it to the United States
to slacken in no endeavor. The
United States must bave its chance in
the fleld, and it will have. But I con
ceive that our political duty is quite
as important as our military duty, and
that neither should impede the other.
Our first political duty is to help in
digging the ground for the establish
ment of the league of nations (in
cluding the German nation). If we
can have a network of committees to
prepare for the infinitely more urgent
recongtruction of the world! Andg,
finally, I am convinced that the Gov
ernments which persist in sinning
against the light—as fo* example, ours
does-—are heading for disaster. ;
Fight Than Work
“l 1 suffered for years with stomach
trouble and could not eat and jast
hated for anyone to say work to me,
I would rather fight. Since taking a
course of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy
I actually want to work, and talk

ment
of any thoroughgoing calculation of
the effects of these prices in the way
of decreasing consumption, on the one
hand, and increasing production, on
the other, but really upon the purety
empirical ground that the wheat farm
er ought to be abundantly satisfled
with prices twice as high as he for
merly received, especially since these
prices are all that the consuming pub
lle can be expected to pay without
gerious dlissatisfaction. Simllarly, the
prices of anthracite and bituminous
coal have been fixed—as in these coal
less days we are beginning to perceive
only too clearly-—not on a basis that
assures the most energetic possible
production at every workable mine,
but on the basis of mine profits deem
ed reasonable by the governmental
authorities, account being alsp taken
of the prices for coal to which the
public has been accustomed in the
past,
The trouble with this method—and
it {8 one that has manifested itself to
a painful degree in every country in
which ¥he method has been applied,
even regimented CGermany-—is that
somehow it falls to stimulate the en
ergies of the producers and distribu
tors of necessaries, with the result
that in a short time the supply of
them is discovered to be inadequate,
and shar}) curtailment of the use of
them, enforced by a system of gov
ernmental rationing, becomes imper
ative.
Cotton’s Place in War.
Although there is little general ap
preciation of the fact, cotton now oc
cuples among the materials required
for the carrying on of war a place
comparable only with that occupied
Yy iron and steel. We are accustomad
to think much of the food supplies
of armies in the fleld, but compara
tively little of the cotton supply. Yet
in proportion to the total annual pro
duction and supply the military and
naval use of cotton I 8 far greater
than is the case with foodstuffs. This
is made clear by the fact that at the
present moment, according to the
bert estimates, at least one-quarter
and probably one-third, of the total
capacity of all the cotton mills in the
United States is required for the
manufacture of the cotton goods and
products already contracted for by
the Government, while the entire pro
duction of linters—short fiber re
moved from the previously ginned
seed in the process of manufacturing
cotton se=d oil-—is being consumed In
the making of explosives, It goes
without saying that no such progor
tion of the foodstuffs produced In the
United States {8 needed for the sup
port of our military and naval forces.
In view of the lhigh percentage of
the country’s normal cotton prodwm:-
ticn that must be diverted to war
uses, it is apparent at a glance that,
on the one hand, all possible stimula
tion must be given to the growing
cotton, and, on the other hand, the
consumption of e products of cot
ton by the eivil population must be
curtailed severely. Such cotton crops
as we have had in this country for
the last three years are totally inad
equate to fill the needs of our armies
and the armies of our allles, and at
the same time to permit the Ameri
can population te purchase cotton
goods on the scale to which it has
been accustomed. The fundamental
question involved in the proposed
program of governmental price fix
ing for cotton ig, therefore, whether
these two equally imperative needs
are sure to be met by this method.
~ Production Greatly Handicapped.
As regards the stimulation of the
production of cotton, it must be said
at the outset that everything now
points to steadily increasing diffi
culty and expeuse in connection with
the growing of cotton in this country
as lorg as the war lasts. For one
thing, the amount of available labor
in the South, whether of independent
farmers or of hired workers, is cer
tain to diminish at a rapid rate. Much
attention has been attracted during
the past year or so by the Northward
migration of Southern negroes. This
migration already has been sufficient
to emharrass the growers of cotton
very seriously :
Hut as the country gets deeper and’
deeper into the war, as it enlarges
and multiplies its munition plants, as
it gets really under way with its ship
building program, as it moves greater
and greater guantities of war mate
rials over its railroads, as it dis
natehes to Kurope more and more
vessels Inden with these materials, a
supply of rough labor infinitely great
er than that now available in our
industrial sections will become abso
lutely indispensable., In view of the
checking of immigration, this addi
tional rough labor can be obtained
from but a single source, the negro

sands more of negro workers must be
brought from the South to the North
if the United States {# to play its
proper industrial part in the wau,
Besldes this diminution of the num- |
ber of workers hitherto chiefly de
voted to the growing of cotton, ac
count must also be taken of the ef
fects of the draft upon both the white
and the negro farm population of the
South,
Unfortunately, this is not the only
ob. tacle in the way of an abundant
cotton production in the United States ‘
during so many years as the war may
continue. Anotier Is the excessively
high cost of foods and feeds-—a cost
likely to increase rather than dimin
ish as the war goes on-—calling for a
large expenditure of money If the
foods and feeds are purchased in the
market, and impelling the farming
class to devote enough of its acreage
and of its labor to the miah\% ot
foodstuffs and feed grains to reldeve
it of the necessity of paying out fiis
'money. Furthermore, the Southern
fmrmc-r.u are heing encouraged in
every way by the Government, acting
through agents of the Department ot
Agriculture, to make themselves in
)dnpen lent in respect of their food
'and feed supply; and there {s abun
‘dant evidence that the campaign of
education and persuasion directed to
this end will have extensive effects
this coming spring and summer.
Animal Power Depleted.
Without going into further details
of the impediments to an abundant
cotton production in 1918 and the
following years of the war, If such
there be, mention may be made in
passing of the fact that the South's
supply of animal power—horses and
mules—is being severely depleted by
the war demand. Again, the supply
of fertilizers {s inadequate, the qual
lity of them {g very unsatisfactory,
owing to the dearth of potash, and
|the price is excessively high. In the
backg(\;ound. too, is the ever-spread
ing boll weevil, enormously enhano
|lnz the risks which the farmer must
face in growing cotton.
With these obviously serious diffi
cultiey to overcome, the question of
obtaining the abundant production of
| cotton which the war makes impera
| tive really resolves itself into the
| problem of inducing the cotton grow
lers that remaln in the South to re
double their efforts, to work as they
have never worked before, to strive
ito do the seemingly impossible, It
'must be admitted that it is hard to
| see how the necessary inducement
can he afforded through any method
of governmental price regulation,
| whose objective would certainly bhe
not to increase but to reduce the
price of cotton-—the alleged abnor
mality of the present price being the
prime argument in favor of this pol
icy.
Rationing of Supply Suggested.
We are hrought to a similar con
clugion when we examine the other
necessity of the situation, the re
quired reduction in the purchase of
[cotton goods by the civil population,
Though the Southern cotton growers
'do their best, and though the cotton
manufacturers run their mills to
Itheir utmost capacity, it is simply
out of the question that the country's
lsupply of cotton goods and other
products of cotton should be suffi
lclent to meet the milltary needs of
the Government and at the same
time to give the population as a
whole the same quantity of goods
and products per capita that it was
consuming before the war., How ls

FREE TRIAL COUPON
Mark M. Jackson, Gumey Ridg.,
24-D, Byracuse, N. Y.:
1 accep: your offer. Send to:
up to such a Yoint that consumption
is automatically restricted? The only
alternative to such a method, how
over, is a system of rationing relent
lessly applied. And not one of the
advocates of cotton price regulation
has as yet even suggested the adop
tion of this system in the United
States,
- It may be granted, however, that a
‘combination of price-fixing and strict
rationing might yleld all the desired
results except that of stimulating the
individual producers of cotton to ex
traordinary efforts to grow cotton on
a scale never before attempted by
them. But at this point the system
would almost certainly fail, as {t has
signally failed when applied to the
agricultural production of all Kuro
pean countries in which it has been
tried. It may be taken as a general
truth that in this domain that is ex
pedient which strengthens the na
tional economy on the side of pro
duction, rather than that which (s
seemingly more conducive to the im
medlate comfort of the population.
Excessively high prices for cotton arve
certainly not comfortable for the
masg of consumers; nelther are high
taxes nor any of the other heavy bur
dens of war., But prices for cotton
high enough to induce the maximum
possible production and also to pre
vent the civil population from pur
|chas(n more than its barest neces
eities .in the way of cotton goods
may not he inexpedient from the
peint of view of the war economy of
the nation.
