COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENCE PILLORIED FOR
RETAINING CORPORATION CONNECTIONS
WHILE PEOPLE STARVE
Dec. 22, ' 1917. (by mail)—Today
■every citizen of New York who is
compelled to exist on his own earn
ings knows how he is feeling the
pinch. Feeling it, feeling it if he
has only himself to support, and
feeling it far worse if he has a wife
and children whom he desires to
see enjoy the comforts of life to
which they are entitled.
Politicians may piffle; a prostitue
press may promise relief, but while
this piffling has continued for
months and these promises have
been again and again reprinted, the
cost of everything that the p. ople
must have merely to exist still goes
skyward Sugar, they are now told,
will be sold around ten cents in
a few days. This price is robbery
ef tho most flagrant character, and
if there were men in charge of pub
lic affairs who were really running
them in the interests of the people
such robbery would be impossible.
Many citizens rre wondering why
all this burd n put on them when
they have heard .o much of "public
spirited citizens” who are giving up
their time to do these things for
thorn.
If the worker reads this article by
Ames Pinchot, he will understand
m?re about it. It is a portion
of his indictment of the financial
and industrial misrulers of the
country.
Pnchot shows ju3'. who and what
the members of the council of de
fense arc, and taking 33 of them,
including such profiteers as Chas.
M. Schwab of BctU'ehem Steel; E.
J. Derwind, the coal king; H. Gary
of the steel trust, he shows the wax
profits of the corporations they re
present. He shows how tho 48
companies with which these much
"sounded patriots” are connected,
netted over $900,000,000 in 1916 ol
the American government and tire
Allies, and calls attention to the
fact that from every xind’eatior.
their profits from the same sources
in 1917 will go ova? the biliion
poir.t.
Pinchot sitows the profits of them
48 corporations re only a part the
legalized loot which these plutocrats
are gathering. We do not print the

sell them at the same price or less

the common grades we have exerted
our utmost to be able to offer
something better, not necessarly
cheaper. Our effort was product

BUTTER
Our Alberta pickled butter is
especially churned for us and is
made from clean, pure and whole
some pasteurized cream. In fact
other buyers must wait and go
without u%til our orders are filled.
The Consolidated Creamery Co.,
of K1 lens burg Washington, is a co
operative institution of the farmers
of that vicinity who have success
fully marketed their products in
this way for Several yeurs and in
this manner they huve been able to
give the public as direct as possible
the best butter fresh and nnmixed
at a better profit to themselves and
less to the consumer. Our price
per 2 pound brick $1.35.
Our Ranch Eggs are ail guar

THU COUNCIL OP NATIONAL
DEFENSE.
By Amos Pinchot.
Neither the United Stales nor
any other country ;an carry on a
war which will make the world safe
for democracy and for plutocracy at
the same time. It the war is to
serve God it cannot servo Mammon.
And any man wno triess to make it
do both is not merely atempting
the impossible; but he is fighting
his own country in the most effect
ive way. As St. Paul says,“There
is a natural body and there is a
spiritual body.” All the natural re
sources of the country, all the arm
ies, navies, ammunition, food and
other physical assets we can muster,
will not make the war a success
unless there is also a sound spiritual
body of popular faith to carry the
nation through these times of un
paralleled suffering and sacrifice.
It is the spiritual side of the situa
tion which is being very unfortun
ately and needlessly weakened, be
cause Congress is refuse ing to pro
tect the war from the swarm of
hungry profiteers who are daily
tearing at it.
But what makes it more serious
and this is tus condition to which
I want to call your attention, is
that some of our principal financiers
and capitair.s of industry, who have
been called by the government to
serve upon the council of national
defense are the main offenders in
the unpatriotic business of discred
iting the war by commercalizing
it. In close cooperation with the
government, in daily conference with
our highest executive officers these
men are combining two irreconcdl
ble functions. They are sitting in
the morning as foremost patriots,
actively drecting the mobilization of
America’s resources and they are
spending their afternoons in taking
advantage of the necessity of the
people and the government by mak
ing legalized, but none the less de
structive financial raids upon them
—raids so provitable as to make us
look back, almost with gratitude,
at the comparative moderation of
Amercan profiteers during the civil
war.
The gentlemtn on the council of
national defence were placed there
in positions of immense influence
and power, they were not placed
there for the purpose of exploiting
the public and the government. On
the contrary, they were appointed
to save the public and the govern
ment from exploitation. The mem
bers of the council of national de
fense cannot serve the Unted States
and the pockets of the corporations
of which they are officers or direct
ors, at the same time; at least not
in the way they have so far chosen.’
