POST THE SLACKERS.
Alien slackers who renounced theii
American citizenship rather than
fight are looking overseas for help.
The Norwegian and Swedish govern
ments have protested to the state
department against deportation,
which the American legion demands.
This protest followed the disclo
sure made by the American Legion
Weekly in its issue of October 24.
1919. as to the number and loca
tion of these first-paper slackers.
This record, which had not previ
ously been given the public, was
read from the Weekly into the Con
gressional Record, and resulted in
stimulating favorable action of the
Lufkin bill, providing deportation.
The protesting governments plead
ed treaty rights. But it is clearly
the right of our Government to de
port persons who are “inimical to
the public welfare," which designa
tion fits the first-paper slacker like
a glove.
Protests must not be heeded, says
the American Legion Weekly. The
first-paper slacker must go. In
taking that action we may well sym
pathize with the protesting govern
merits. Under similar circumstance?
we would protest against such cat
Tle being snipped back to our
shores.
While alien slacker? who re
nounced their American citizenship
to escape military service have been
listed and classified and their de
portation will be insisted upon by
the American Legion, otht-r varieties
of alien slackers must not be lost
sight of. It possibly is not prac
ticable to deport them all. Their
number- reach into the tens of thou
sands, and in many instances they
are protected by treaty rights. Since
they never swore allegiance to the
United States, their conduct was
somewhat less reprehensible than
that of our own American slackers.
Certainly they are not to be com
pared with the first-paper slackers,
who are the most undesirable class
next to alien enemies—and they
must go.
But there i- a stigma upon the
whole tribe of alien slackers. In
deporting the first-paper slackers we
must mete out proportionate punish
ment to the others.
The Lufkin bill (H. R. 9410), now
before Congress, in addition to de
porting the first-paper slackers,
would deny citizenship to the oth
ers for a period of five years. This
is inadequate. So long as they are
permitted to enjoy the benefits of
living in America, withholding of
citizenship would concern them very
little. The law should provide that
their names be listed and the lists
published and posted in the com
munities wherein they live: and they
should be totally disqualified for
citizenship. This as a minimum
penalty. Tne legion's views in this
respect have been transmitted to
Congress through the legislative
committee.
BANKRUPT EUROPE.
A room at the Piccadilly is three
pounds ten, a dinner for two in a
cozy corner at the Ritz at least
: five quid, and a suit of clothes ten
1 times that figure. That's London,
| says an exchange. Multiply it by
two or three and you have Paris.
(Yet there is a waiting list a block
jlong at every London hotel. You
! can't get a table at the Ritz unless
j you know the head waiter person
ally, and even if you were wearing
ja barrel it would be three months
| before any Bond street tailor would
j deliver you a pair of trousers. You
! can't buy a seat in any playhouse
; except for weeks in advance. The
ijewelers and silversmiths are run
:ning three shifts, and a lot of aris
tocrats don’t know where their next
Rolls-Royec is coming from.
Belgium is more prosperous than
; ever. Great Britain’s exports are in
; creasing in volume with great rapid
: ity, and France is planning to play
a gigantic part in world industry,
i now being busy planning to annex
the trade of Germany. The altru
: istic Americans who have been sit-1
; ting up nights weeping over the
j future of Europe could have spent
| their time to better advantage
; thinking up ways and means where
jby the United States may be able
ito avoid being pushed out of the
markets of the world, including our
own market, when our friendly get

'are told we must help poor bar.k

DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Surveys by chambers of com
merce and industrial organizations
are in progress in sixteen states to
;ascertain public sentiment regarding
a continuation of daylight saving,
iana the campaign will be extended
^throughout the country before next
April, according to Marcus M.
Marks, president of the National
Daylight Saving association.
The states where the movement
is under way for permanently ex
changing "an hour of night for an
hour of light” are Massachusetts,
New Jersey, Delaware. Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Virginia. Tennessee. Illi
nois, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Colorado, Utah, Connecticut. Minne
sota. and Kentucky.
Proponents of the idea in Massa
chusetts, 2.800 manufacturers be
longing to the Associated Industries
of that state, who are making the
survey there, according to Mr.
Marks, reported that a bill would
be introduced in the next legisla
ture, which meets in January, and
that "it would be supported by a
majority in both the senate and the
house."
New York state for two years has
had a daylight saving law on its
statute books, and, Mr. Marks said,
any effort to repeal it would be
hopeless, without the help of legis
lators from New York and Buffalo,
most of whom, he said, had been
found in favor of the law. At pres
tent the months for daylight saving
i in New York conform to the old
'Federal statute, from March to Oc
tober. To have the law uniform,
Mr. Marks said, an amendment will
be introduced changing the time
from tiie last Sunday in April to the
(last Sunday in September. The
■New York board of aldermen’s re
cent action in passing a daylight
saving ordinance, it was saio, had
impelled other cities to take similar
steps.
“Fifteen of the eighteen mayors
of Connecticut," continued Mr.
Marks, “recently voted unanimously
at a conference in New Haven to
initiate campaigns in their cities at
once for daylight saving. Hartford
previously had blazed the trail by
| adopting an ordinance which will be
jin effect the last Sunday of April
| next year. Plainfield, N. J., has
■taken similar action. In Baltimore,
Md., a referendum vote showed that
five out of six were in favor of it.
Cincinnati has adopted it; so has
St. Joseph, Mich., and we are get
ting encouraging reports from Ho
boken, Jersey City, Paterson, Tren
ton, and Camden, X. J.; Wilmington,
Del.; Philadelphia. Sciunton. an 1
Pittsburg, Pa.; Richmond. Va.; Chat
tanooga and Memphis. Tenn.; Chi
cago, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Denver,
iSalt Lake City, Milwaukee. Louis
ville, and Lexington, Ky.
“It was the intention of the Na
tional Daylight Saving association,
following the repeal of the Federal
law,” said Mr. Marks, "to confine
its efforts this year to the Eastern
time zone, but so many cities and
towns elsewhere have registered such
an emphatic protest against the re
