TO THE TAXPAYERS OF AMERICA:
O YOU fully realize that the continuance of oppressive war taxation, after war should
be ended, is largely due to the private wars which Mr. Wilson is conducting without
authority from Congress and which he maintains at the heavy expense of the people of
the United States?
In former times, when this nation was more truly a republie, its citizens more free and
their representatives more courageous, a President would have been impeached for such ar
bitrary assumption of dictatorial powers and for the imposition of such unwarranted bur
dens upon the citizenship.
The proposed League of Nations, which Mr. Wilson has not dared to refer to the judg
ment of the people of this country is merely a license for Mr. Wilson to continue, without au
thority, the costly wars and dangerous entanglements with European intrigues which he
is now carrying on without the sanction of Congress or the consent of the people.

DANGER OF RED REVOLUTION IN BRITAIN IS SEEN

by LORD SYDENHAM.
Former Secretary to the Committee
of Imperial Defense.
(By Universal Service.)
LONDON, Aug. 30.—1 note with
thankfulness that the British public
is beginning to understand that, be
hind the prevailing industrial unrest
and the strike mania, there are dark
forces whith, with alien inspiration,
are being directed to bring about a
red revolution in this country as part
of a world anmarchial movement.
All this is not new. The program
of the Clyde soviet committee cor-
Pefivf)nds closely with that of the sub
versives in. France in 1789, except
that the latter, after attaining power,
addf'd the deliberate purpose of re
ducing the French population by mas
sacre,
The coincidence of aims is not ac
cidental. The methods now being
employed to induce the people of
Britain to accept the revnlurinnaryl
programs are identical. Readers of
Mrs. Webster’s excellent study, “The
French Revolution,” will not fail to
see the extraordinary resemblance
between the situation here today and
that which preceded the cataclysm in
France.
WARNING IS PLAIN.
The warning is plain, and if we
disregard it we must be mad.
France had a king earnestly devot
ed to and personally initiating great
reforms, We have a government
pressing far-reaching reforms at such
a feverish speed that they can not
be properly, considered. For the sub-‘
versives here, as it was for those in
France, sthe main task is to corrupt
the people, and the means employed
—a propaganda of carefully chosen
falsehoods—are precisely the same.
“The nation,” said Charnford, “is a
great herd that only thinks of brows.
ing, and with good sheep-dogs the
shepherds can lead it as they will.”
This is the belief of the extremists
in this country, and we have no right,
in the light of past experience, to
assume that it is unfounded.
In France, as in Petrograd, famine
conditions were; deliberately created
in order to inflame the passions of
the people. If direct action by the
Triple Alliance could be brought
about here, the same results would
follow, and this is the object of our
subversives.
ROBESPEIRRE QUOTED.
“Elect me,” said Robespierre, “and
vou will be forever exempt from those
burdens which have so far been re
quired of you on*the pretext of the
needs of the state—too long have the
rich been the sole possessors of hup‘i
piness. It is time that their pnsm's-‘
sions should pass into other hands.
The castles wiil be overthrewn and
all the lands belonging to them will
be digtributed amongst you in equal
proportion,” ete.
This is the exact language now
adopted by the gels-constituted "Hh(‘»[».‘
herds” of the British people who are
straining every nerve to utilize the
great labor organizations as their in
struments,
The startling similarity of aims and
methods could be carried further, but
1 only refer to one other pregnant
fact. “Mhe inspiration of the sulnnr«‘
sives of France came, as'Mrs. Web
ster has shown, directly from the
German order of the illumnati found

LONDON, Aug. 30.—Coincident
with the sailing of Justice Louis
Brandeis for New York after his tour
of the Holy Land, comes unofficial
information through the British for
eign office that although a formal
division of League of Nations man
dates has not yet been announced,
Britain has decided to accept manda
tory powers over Palestine if granted
her.
It is understood that this course
‘has been decided upon. This con
firms the recent Universal Service
story of Justice Brandeis' prophecy
that the Holy Land will be taken un
der the British wing.
~ For the:past three weeks, & ever
since the justice returned from the
East, he has been in almost daily
conference with the British foreign
office. He goes home to announce
in Chicago that Britain will take
charge of the Jewish homeland.
CATHOLICS OPPOSE MOVE.
On top of this announcement, how
ever, British government circles have
received disquieting news from
France that the extreme '‘Catholic
party is very strongly opposing the
realization of the Jewish ideal of re
settling Palestine, mainly because of
religious grounds.
The Catholics in France, it is
learned, are using the appeal that
French Syria, abutting on Palestine,
really includes the Holy Land, and
they demand the inclusion of Pales
tine in the proposed French mandate
for Syria.
' Another powerful argument set
forth by the French Radicals is that
‘Jewish occupancy of Palestine would
}nnt be attended by the same rever
ence for the Christian Biblical places
as would result from a French pro
tectorate.
This claim Justice Brandeis par
ticularly denied before leaving Lon
don. He declared that the modern
exploitation of sPalestine will not
spoil the historic places—that the
Jews have not thought of touching
Biblical ground.
“On the contrary,” said Jacob de
Haas, executive secretary of the
American Zionists, “we want to do
everything to preserve them XKkeep
them sacred and enhance their ap
pearance."”
Meanwhile, at international head
quarters of the Zionist organization
here, plans are rapidly nearing com
pletion for the settlement of thou
sands of Jews in Palestine. Antici
pation runs high among the Jews of
Fastern Europe, Russia, Poland, Ga
licia and Roumania.
PLAN UNIVERSITY,
The initial step of the resettlement
of the ancient homeland is the estab
lishment of a university in Jerusa
lem. The nucleus for it has already
been started in different parts of
Palestine by Jews, with considerable
organization in Russia. Plans for a
government of the “Jewish Father
land” were outlined by Dr. Weize
mann, president of the Zionist com
mission.
“In the new Palestine' he said,
“there will be no room for capitalists
or big landlords, Our idea is to set
tle the maximum number of people
with a minimum grant of land for
each”™
The Zionists have engaged Prof.
Patrick Geddes, of Bt. Andrew’s Uni
versity, one of the greatest living au
thorities, to plan a new Jerusalem
and a university in that city. Geddes
and Weizemann will go to Palestine
immediately.

if you actually desire to reach the point of financial bankruptey and economie demoraliza

But if you, as patriotic American citizens, desire to adhere to the wise policies of the
farseeing founders of this republie, policies which have made this nation the greatest, the
richest and the happiest nation in the world, then you should reject this foreign League of

By a Universal Service Staff Corre
spondent,
LONDON, Aug. 30.—1 n its desper=
ate fear of national bankruptcy, Brite
ain has instituted a widespread came
paign of governmental economy. This
is the response to Premier Lioyd
George’s demand for a coftry-wide
awakening to the seriousness of the
empire’'s economic situation.
The fact that alarms the British
people most is that, with the armi=
stice ten months old, Britain's daily
expenditures are $10,000,000 in excess
of revenue, while the production s
low and growing lower, and the
United States is forging rapidly ahead
in foreign trade,
Commenting on the announcement
that construction on sixty eruisers
and small craft is to be suspended,
affecting twenty shipping plants, the
Daily News complains that 30,000
people are still employed in the air
gun defense works, despite the fact
that air raids ceased a year ago, and
asks why 14,000 women are still at
tached to war work with 61,000 men
in the air force tn France, when only
25,000 women were attached last
Christmas.
EXPENDITURES CITED,
“Can we afford a yearly expends
ture of 2,500,000,000 pounds in arma~
ments, 500,000,000 pounds on the Rus
sian adventure and 1,500,000,000 in
subsidies ?” asked the News. The pa
rer denounces the enormous inflatiom
of government staffs.
The Morning Post says:
“This assurance (of a policy of
economy) is given almost a year after
the armistice, the interval having
been filled with a scandalous exhibi
tion of such reckless extravagance as
to rouse the whole country.”
“It would have been better,” says
the Daily Mail, “if Lloyd George had
fixed a definite limit for each depart=
ment. His vague exhortation is like=
ly to produce little effect.”
Other organs have Tiscovered that
635 generals are on the active list
without troops; also that a force ac
tually is still maintained in London
watching for Zeppelins. Similar ex
travagance revealed elsewhere.
Meanwhile the press, however, con
tinues to demand a large navy. “John
ißu!L' for instance, Horatio Bottom
ley's publication, goes to the extremse
‘thus:
| AN EXTREME VIEW.
| “Are you quite sure that much of
the sympathy of the American press
for Ireland is not a mere cloak to
disguise designs on Britain! Listen
to this from the Chicago Tribune:
‘ “‘A great deal ot money will be re-
Lquin‘d te fight Britain. We had help
in fighting Germany. We will be
‘ulonp fighting Britain. She is in com~
imand of the seas.’
“Note the last words—see that they
remain true.”
‘ (Note—The Chicago Tribune's edi=
torial quoted by Mr. Bottomley was
not, as he makes it appear, a sulh
mons to war with Britain, or a flat
prediction of such a conflict, but was
entirely hypothetical. It was ad
dressed to the pro-Irish element In
}Amerl(‘n. pointing out what it would
'mean if threats against England were
translated into action.)
