Some interMtllig sidelights on
the democratic movement among
tl:.' Itai .in people can lie found in
the dispatches of a special corre
spondent of the "New York World”
from Italy during the time of Pres
ident Wilson's visit to the latter
< ountry.
" s that there is it conahier
abV- strata of Italian society which
is no cra^' :! with imperialism.
This special correspondent stated
that some highly dramatic incidents!
occur el during ihe President’s visit!
in Home, as Hie Bolshevik agita
tors among the soldiers made a!
otfonuous’effort to nduce President
W .!-or. to give the Orlando govern-!
cent the go by and speak directly,

A iarge body of troops had been
av -mbled by the Italian Minister of'
War. on the “Piazza Venezia,’/!
v, i. iv cap! a in Dominic! Palozzoli, or
the famous Alp ne, made speeches
to the assembled people and urged
tc American Ambassador Page,
who was passing in a carriage, to
ask President Wilson to speak to
the people. Ambassador Pago tried
to xplnitt that the President was
IP- guest o, the Italian government
at such hud to conform to the
official program.
Captain Palozzoli hail before thts
s' el. :\ message to President Wilson

Pa la- V- ansi epeal: to the people cr.
-he street.
In Mailand, Socialist organiza
tions practically controlled the re
■■ ;>i Ion festivities given in honor oi
Pi • side at Wilson's \isit.
In Turin, judging from public ex
prv.v.'or.s of the representatives ol
mere than forty socialist organizat
ions. ['resident Wilonn was looked
-non a; a supporter of their inter
national id-'uts. Several of these
jrgan rations carried Red Banners
i the paradii whicl .1 dent Wit
son reviewed.
(By the wry that happened in a
uarcliy and we v.-ould like tc
t ow who.t wore the feelings of the
Pr-. sident when ho saw those rec
banners carrlct past him, knowing
with v.-hiir blood curdling aversior
and horror this emblem of the un:
:> -oiherltood of man is look
«-d upon by the capitalists in th;s
country.)
It.al -ii o!“cia!s in , Mailand anti
Turin told this special correspond
ent that the Italian socialists be
ll >v< :. that Presfden Will nn \ ■ !i
i ll! accord with their socialistic
aims, and this thought or belief on
1 a a< • - revot.
This is a rather interesting pic
iure •• f the internal conditions ;i
tfa'.y :nd v>» can sec that there nm>
bo some interesting development;
n the sunny south of Europe.
The c :opangn for going back to
tii;.' old grah'tr.ll t iros i., in lull
• ’v' Latest on the program is Mr j
Charier Evan Hughes, who took up;
the cudgels against government!
nr airship in a speech delivered be-!
fere the Institute of Arts and |
Jv'.iences of Columbia university.)
Kor was Mr Hughes at all gentle. I
A i c. us poor Misguided creatures!
who look to a gradual exetenslon oft
the rule of the people until it in-j
eludes ail industry were branded as)
“enemies of liberty,” favoring a
stale id' affairs lhat would consti
tute "a most serious offense against
A' eric n institutions.”
Judging from the use some people
make of that, much tortured word,
“American” to them means any-!
thin ; that promotes the selfish in-j
terests of a small, willful and pow-!
i ri.il group of financiers who would !
like io get control of all industry!
themselves. Do we ask for the abol-l
Ition of child labor? It is un-Ameri- j
can, say these gentle spirits. Do
vo demand fuller participation by,
the people in all social, political and J
Industrial functions? Un-American >
comes the reply. But that species of
camouflage has ceased to scare folk3
sway from* logical economic think
ing. It's no use, Mr Hughes. You
may imagine that the nation will
nova back to ante-bellum times, but
the nation .is going to be un-Ameri
can" enough to disappoint you.
Here is a sample of Hughes—full
but not useful logic: “It Is regret
table, but it is true, that govern
mental enterpises tend constantly
to inefficiency.” What kind of in
efficiency, Mr Hughes? The kind
Inoi about by pilivateers who d<
their best to throw a wrench Into
•- n-. rmnent operations so as to din
credit It in the eyes ott ho in.
'iic kina that ;s inefficient in th:
manufacturing of private profits
bat 'if!- is highly efficient in glvlnt
u-rvi;-' o tie people? \Vhat righ
.- •ve you to speak of governraenta
inefficiency when the private man
ag'.mont was so inefficient that I
had to be taken out of private ham
in order to win the war? Wha
right have you to speak of govern
menial inefficiency when the gov
rnment lias not yet had a rea
peace-opportunity to show what r
could do, and when it has been con
tending against treacherous priva
tear .sabotage from within?
Listen to this other gem from tilt
same speech: “The .instinct of th«
American people, 1 believe, can b(
trusted to thwart the insidious plant
of these enemies of liberty who, ii
siven their way, would not sto?
short of a tyranny which, what
v-.'ftr name it might bear, wtfuld leave
little room for preference as com
pared writ Prussianism”
Such a characterization of gov
ernment ownership and the people
who stand for it is nothing short oi
’mpudeuce. Consider for a moment
the revelations that have recently
been made concerning the profiteers
.Nothing of tyranny in that system
is there, Mr Hughes? Nothig ol
I ousianism in the .ilg.V tl
methods of private ownership as re
vealed even during the war, wher
sacrifice was the slogan of the very
companies who were selling inferiot
foodstuffs to our boys in camp and
were plotting to unload worthless
meat on the government is there? j
If there is anything more 'compara- j
ble to Prussianism than the private '
ownership system for which Hughe3
and his sort stand, then we should 1
like to be introduced to it on some !
line night when we were srfficientlv J
armed and had little to be robbed of;
in the dark.
No. Mr Hughes is simply the lat- j
est member of the “Let's Go Back”
club. It’s an old and almost sacred
order. We believe Joshua started I
when he stopped the sun. King Ca
nute was a prominent member, too,
ivhen he ordered the waves, by royal
command, to recede. And now comes
sur Lodges and our Hughes, who
cannot understand that the world
has moved away from them, and
that if there are any concessions to
be made, the concessions wiill have
to come from them.
The mountain of progress will not
come to these Mahomets of privi
lege. And if the Mahomets don’t
want to come to the mountain, then
let them at least keep quiet and al
low us to move forward.—New Ap
peal.
RICH FROM WRR RELIEF
According to an official report
made l»v the Federal Dlsiiict Attor
ney Sw: n, of New \ork. of the two
billion five hundred milhoii dollars
collected for War Relief in the IT. S.;
05'- of this amount was needlesslyj
wasted. As far as the investigators;
were able to determine, four million
dollars were stolen pure and sim
ple, as the report states. In New
York city alone.
That these accusations , have not
heed made lightly car. be scan by the
bulk of the report which has boon I
compiled by Assistant District At
torney Kilroe, and contains Slot
closely typewritten pages. Five,
I hundred and fifty four committees
and organizations were examined.
The invesygatoro received 947
••witten er-planations. Two thous
and four hundred and seventy four1
letters relating to the investigation I
were received and answered.

ing of a contract between an Armour

just mentioned. After twenty years
the entire installation and equip
