DEFENSE 0I£ DISARMAMENT
In a recent state men; Samuel Comp
els, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, denounced militar
ists “who would take advantage of
every opportunity to promote and
feed the war spirit,” and likewise the
designs of the pacifists, “who would
disarm America first and the other
nations last.”
“Most of them,” declared Combers,
“now prefer to disarm all nations ex
cept soviet Russia, so that the dic
tators of Moscow might find easier
their road to a great dictatorship.”
It is the pacifist group that has
most vehemently criticised the de
fense day program—which is nothing
more than a review of the nation’s
potential defense strength, and a re
dedication of American patriots to
the cause of liberty. No man is
called upon to carry arms. No man
is expected to take part in a program
as a “military gesture.” The nation
is at peace. It is not belligerent, ag
gressive, threatening. The very fact
that it is at peace and that it hopes
forever to remain at peace is what
justifies the defense test.
An estimate made by the research
department of the Bankers’ Trust com
pany of; New York, showed that the
wealth of twenty odd nations active
ly engaged in the world war is $619,
000,000,000, compared with the pre
war total of $630,000,000,000. The
pre-war wealth of the United States
was estimated at $200,000,000, com
pared with $230,000,000,000 today.
The present wealth of the British
Empire is placed at $149,000,000,000;
of France, $60,000,000,000. The pre
war per capita wealth of the several
powers is segregated as follows: U.
S., $2,090; Great Britain, $1,489; and
France, $1,48-4. The per capita aver
age of today, not given, probably is
still more to the advantage of the U.
S., on a pomparative basis.
Pacifists may not beleive the great
wealth of our country—amounting to
almost half of all the nations en
gaged in the world war—is worth de
fending. But at least ninety-nine per
cent of the American people are pre
pared, should the emergency unhap-;
pily arise, to give the last drop of
their blood, not alone for this gigan
tic wealth, but for the happiness of
the 112,000,000 people who share it.
The defense test day program
merely means that the American peo- ■
pie are called upon to take stock of
their patriotism—to stand up and be
counted, without, in the slightest de
gree offering offense to any nation.
And Mr. Gompers said, “there is
something too craven for words about
those who snort at the burden of the
price of freedom.”

COUSIN OF CZAR IS A
CLERK IN U. S. BANK
NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 23.—An
other royal fugitive from Soviet rule
has been discovered working in the
United States. He is Prince Dimit
ry, a nephew of the late Czar and
a cousin of the Prince of Wales. He
is working as assistant to the man
ager of the foreign exchange depart
ment of the National American Bank,
in New York. He came here, ac
cording to friends, at their urging,
after having been found working for
a farmer in Denmark.
Prince Dimitry declared he hoped
some day to return to Russia “and
give my countrymen the benefit of
what I have learned here.”
Bank officials said he was making
good.
The Prince said his mother was the
Grand Duchess Xenia, sister of the
late Czar, and his father the Grand
Duke Alexander. His grandmother is
Dagmar, the Dowager Empress of
Russia.
The Prince said he and a group
of fifty others, who had been con
demned to death in the Crimea by
the Soviet government, escaped by
bluffing guards into believing they
were five hundred, and escaped on
board a British ship to Western Eu
rope.
