There was a record established
Vor recruiting in February, 1 lio
most is being made of this, as if to
show that the army pay is more
popular than ever with the masses.
The fact is that the reason for this
recruiting in February is very sim
ple indeed. Many national guards
men were mustered out and those
returning to their homes and. iriends
and firesides found that their patii
oti< employers who bad urged them
10 go. had in the meanwhie filled
the jobs with other men. These
other men being more efficient were
retained and the other fellow had
to go job hunting. Following the
tine of least resistance they reached
the nearest recruiting station and
knowing tho manual of arms, they
join the regulars. That's about the
sine of it. Similar recruiting spurts
have always been marked when mi
litiamen were mustered out. It is
inevitable.
U \|{— WHAT FOR?
When comrade Kirkpatrick wrote
his philliplc against war and gave it
the above title, he appealed like
many another to “the toiling mas
ses The masses are not as a rule
easily affected and they were not uf
looted much by the said philliplc.
it lakes a cyclone or an earthquake
or a Johnston flood to get the mas
ses moving and to overcome the in
ertia of the average jobbtte.
But there is another side to war
upon which the men who denounce
it dwell seldom and superficially
That is the side that booms industrj
and makes the plutocrats more pie
thorit with millions. Just a minute
please!
The Krupp company of Germany
declared in December a second di
vidend of 12 per cent besides add
ing hugely to Its plant from war
profits.
The Cologne-Rootweller Powdei
wills paid 25 per cent in 1914. 35
l»er cent in 1915 and 50 per cent in
1916. The Mauser Company beside*
.Increasing its capital from two tc
Jen million marks paid dividends
of 2n per cent in 1915. and almost
as much again in 1916. The London
economist says that the iron and
steel companies of Great Britain
during the first nine months of
1916 ictid an average dividend of
12.1 per cent and added to their
surplus put aside 6.4 making an
average profit of IS.5 per cent. All
lines of endeavor in England have
been making enormous profits, not
least by any means being the steam
ship companies whose boats art
i ver; now and then seat to Davy
•Jon s locker.

the reports of $36 concerns shows

There- is some “vvliat for”, foi
war. if you want it. While ihc
great capitalists in the warring na
lions have been making inultitudin

IWTKIOT I.AJI'AT.
Tlie Band School of Social Sci
ence had a lion the other day when
an Indian exile Lajpat ltai, lectured
before the socialist scholars.
It was an interesting talk by an
exile wrapped up in t lie pleasant
mirage of nationalist patriotism and
he indicted the British rule with
some severity. England has done
much good in India, although Laj
pat did not say so, but it is so. And
just the converse is also true. Eng
land lias done much inquity in India
as Lajpat truly says.
And he concluded his interesting j
talk with the remark that "while
one country rules over another i
there can be no such tiling as po
litical morality or justice. England’s
sole interest in India is an interest
in dividends and profits. And we
want her to get out”.
One may sympathize with the
Hindu Bai. Without doubt he has i
diagnosed the case correctly as far
as England is concerned. But he
knows right well that were he to
have England out tomorrow, he
would have even among his own
people many rapacious harpies of
industry who would do even worse
than does Great Britain.
There are man« rajahs and maha
rajahs and gackwars and others not
to mention Parsee millionaires from
Madras who can give the English
cards and spades in the way of ex
ploitation. and without any damned
sentimental nonsense in the way of
uplifting the darker skinned folk
about It either. It is likely that
Lajpat knows that too.
