THK TIT.
Bread today as a million yester
days is still the staff of life. Even
if men have found that they can live
on bread alone, still they cannoi
live without bread as t ictor Hugo
pithily has said. It is the prime
food essential of any nation and
when it is deprived the people, the
people suffer.
The most essential element of out
civilization ought primarily to be
the feeding, clothing and sheltering
of the people. That first assured,
other development will follow. It
is the bed rock upon which progress,
mental, moral, social and physical Is
built up. The woes or a nation are
to be recorded as these things are
denied or as they are afforded in
plenitude and most of the strug
gles of the nations for betterment
have begun and have been carried
through upon the fundamental urge
of being fed. being clothed and be
ing sheltered.
It may be confessed that you
never would believe this to observe
the activities that seem to he carried,
on with legal and conventional sane
tion.
It is not so much the necessity
of seeing that society has suitable
shelter, comtortable clothing and
ample food that is the incentive ot
industrial operations, but the fact
that gain can be made by those who
own the means whereby society is
fed, clothed and sheltered.
No people regularly beset by
famine or the uncertainties of ex*
istence ever did progress; and when
the. ordinary necessities of life are
not forthcoming progress usually
stops.
••Ill faces the land to hastening ills
a prey
Where wealth accumulates and men
decay”
said the Irish poet, but men decay
only when they are deprived of pro
per sustenance and denied access tu
the means of substistence.
We may logically argue trom this
that where food, though it be plain,
is abundant. though clothing br
homespun it is sufficient, there also
will be the most progress recorded
It is a wonder that people never
give a thought to the reason why
America lias been progressive, pros
perous and more generally content
ed than other nations. Alost people
believe that it is by reason of tin
Declaration of Independence or the
American Constitution. Few ever
really recognize the fact that the
reason is much more material and it
is because of the fact that food has
been more plentifully distributed
clothing more easily and universally
obtained and shelter for the masses
more comfortable than elsewhere
The result ot this condition pro
dueed men who were imbued with
the principles embodied in the De
claration of Independence and were
prepared to go to some lengths tc
make secure the rights to life, liber
ty and pursuit of happiness they
knew of. and they knew how to ap
precinte. There can be no progresr
where poverty is general and wher
anything tends to bring about suit
ering and famine, there will arise
discontent and there will follow
reaction.
America produces ample wealtl
of food and other necessities U
feed ali its people comfortably. Bu
they are not fed comfortably Or
the contrary there is a continual cry
of distress, now taking the form o
rood riots, now of strikes and othci
labor demands so that men may ge
enough wages to buy the things tba
are needed but which have arisei
in price beyond the wage scale o
the employees.
Consequently the very first con
sideration in this war is how tha
the people may first be fed. Anc
for America, it would seem an ob
vious thing, that this should be the
first concern of the administratior
not how tire Allies are kept supplier1
with munitions and food stuffs, bill
how the American people should
nof want.
With these facta in mind, we turn
to the extraordinary scenes ot
Thursday in the Chicago wheat pit
with something like exasperation.
Here in the same city where a short
time ago women and chldren were
ruthlessly clubbed w’hen they rioted
over the high price of food that
made it unavailable to them, are
wealthy speculators engaged in
sending the staff of life still to
greater heights to the end that,
they may make millions and also
and inevitably that hunger and
want may become general. We turn
in vain to discover the government
in this crisis taking care of the
United States first as it would ap
pear to be the obvious duty so to do.
And we would expect that this
gambling in food stuffs, which is
staking the pangs of hunger of one
against the pangs of hunger of the
; other, should cease,
j is food to be mobilized for the
I Entente nations as dispatches would
j appear to indicate, and America to
i be looted to that end? It may be
J held that the interests of the En
j tente nations and the United Stales
j are now identical, and lest worse be
I fall it is essential that the Entente
.armies and peoples be fed. It may
be urged that as they are also in
, directly aiding the United States In
I this war. The United States is in
duty bound to see that lack of food
j does not render the nations lighting
I Germany. America's enemy, inef*
; rective.
j That is not the point at all. If
1 that were all that was at issue, the
position of the adirnistratiou would
at least be not unreasonable to in
telligent persons. The point is that
while there is an admitted Insuffi
ciency to go around, the hap huz
i zard system of distribution is n 1
| lowed and the thrice iniquitous
; system of speculation and gambling
in food supplies is allowed to pro
ceed unhampered.
If the food is short, the preven
tion of waste is the prime essential
and the prime essential towards the
elimination of waste is the. prohi
bition of private speculation in
wheat and corn and other food
grains. To allow the present system
less distribution, and the present
buying and selling and gambling in
the staff of life is morally iniquitous
and socially fatal.
Every writer who wrote with any
insight at all as to the European
war has pointed out that the indus
trial efficiency and the. industrial or
ganization has been the prime factor
of success—as much and as im
portant a factor as the operations
on the battlefield. To supply the
army of workers with food is a pre
requisite to such efficiency, without
which it cannot exist. What strikes
at the root of that efficiency is this
gambling in food: this allowing ii
to be the subject of sale and bartei
and speculation which results in pri
vation, which ends in physical ineffi
ciency and which benumbs industria
organization of any kind. That is
common sense. But those who are
affected by this condition and oui
of whose hunger and suffering and
privation millions are to be made
have never been the object of gov
ernmental attention. It is high time
that they were now. We have point
ed out in other issues that govern
nii'iits of the nations under th<
stress of war have been driven t«
attend to the workers’ conditioni
us never before. This war hai
doomed property, private propertj
to a place of secondary cMi’s'aeru
tion and life and labor of first con
sideratlon. This war is being fought
by lives and labor, and propertj
has to be seized in all the nuti'.iu
to conserve lives and to a'd labor
Only disaster can follow .1 failuri
to follow thus also In America, and
it is about time the Pit should go.
