A correspondent of a famous newspaper, recently investigated con ditions in the Ruhr and the arti cles he wrote bear out an idea that has been expressed several times- men are becoming merely tools of production. In Germany, the writer said, wages are lower than the requi site amount for bare living necessi ties and threaten to become lower as the industrialists strive to capture foreign markets. The workers do not strike, because the union funds are gone, and many of the unem ployed would be glad to take their places at still lower wages. This is an example of the inevit able result of non-existence of effec tive labor unions. In the United States many of those who do not work at trades utterly condemn the unions. A union laborer will not do more than a boy could, they say: a man cannot paint his own house the anion claims the work; the union has no right to order an exten sive strike that may work a hard ship on the public; and if a union does order a strike, there should be no picketing strike breakers should be permitted to take the jobs, with out the slightest resistence by the unions. Those who hold to these notions forget the historical records of the pitiable condition of factory work ers before the organization of effec tive unions. The condition in Ger many today, as pictured by the cor respondent, is approaching slavery for the workers. The essential fact, that production goes on for the benefit of mankind, is overlooked. Mankind is driven to produce, and advertising agencies are overworked to secure consump tion of the overproduction. The unions are condemned for their ef forts to secure greater happiness for those who are usually termed the 'lower classes," and condemned by many whose own comparatively high standard of living is made possible by the concerted right of the union workers for a fair share of the prof its of their labor. Unions, with the full power of the potential strike, are evidently neces sary to the maintenance of living wages for the workers. If this coun try continues in its present course of breaking the power of labor unions, we may expect eventually a slave like mass of workers, or revolt and substitution of communism for the republican form of government. single public Interest The plan single public interest The plan stitutions from public funds did not orginlnally prevail in most states, and even where it was in use it was but. feebly devel oped in the early days of the Republic. That plan did not arise spontaneously in the minds of all citizens. It was only when the suggestion came forcefully and repeatedly from a few pion eers that popular interest was fully aroused. Vigorous cam paigns were required not only to establish the idea of public education, but also for its main tenance, and for its important extensions. Campaigns of national scope in behalf of education have been increasingly effective with each succeeding year. They have concentrated attention upon the needs of education, and the cumulative impetus of mass ac tion has been peculiarly benefi cial. It is clearly in the interest of popular education, and conse quently of the country, that these campaigns be continued with vigor. In the last few years we have placed much emphasis on voca tional training. It is necessary for men to know the practical side of life and be able to earn a living. We want to have mas tery of our material resources. But it is also necessary to have a broad and liberal culture that will enable men to think and know how to live after they have earned a living. An educated fool is a sorry spectacle, but he is not nearly so dangerous to so ciety as a rich fool: We want neither in this country. We want the educated to know how to work and the rich how to think. Now, therefore, I, Calvin Cool idge, President of the United States of America, do designate November 17 to 23, inclusive, as American Education week. I urge that the citizens do all they can to advance the interests of education. EDUCATION WEEK. Monday opened the fifth annual American Education week. The pur pose of the observance of the week, its score, and relationship to insti tutions of higher learning are point ed out in the proclamation issued by President Coolidge, which follows, in part: Education for the children of all the people, extending from the primary grades through the university, constitutes Ameri ca's noblest contribution to civ ilization. No child or youth in the United States need be de prived of the benefits of educa tion suited to his age and de gree of advancement Nevertheless, either through negligence or because of unfor tunate circumstances which might be controlled with suffi cient effort,' large numbers of children do not receive the full preparation for their life's work to which they are justly entitled. Many have reached maturity without even the rudiments of education. This condition demands the solicitude of all patriotic citi zens. It involves not only the persons immediately concerned and the welfare of the country depends upon the character and the intelligence of those who cist the ballots. Educate t has come to be nearer to the hearts of the - American people than any other The College Press A Hymn of Hate. In a setting reminiscent of the past wars of America and on an oc casion dedicated to the memory of those who died in the World con flict that wars might be abolished, Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U. S. N., retired, Sunday morning sang a veritable hymn of hate when he called upon the United States to pre pare for future wars in protection of our national wealth and characteriz ed Japan, Russia, and Germany as vultures waiting for the first oppor tunity to swoop down and devour our riches. His address was given in the Church of Heavenly Rest dec orated with 250 historic battle flags, at a special service for former serv ice men. The Admiral called attention to the fact that "religion and patriot ism have ever been entwined in na tions that grew great and that their decline was concurrent with the re cession of religious fervor." Japan was cited as the outstanding present day example of this. He then stres sed the need for competition as an impetus to progressive civilization and indicated that "effeminate United States is surrounded by na tions, intensely virile, ambitious, in telligent and poor." "As a result," he concluded. "Our probable ene mies are becoming stronger to at tack and we are weaker to resist Of course the longer the trend con tinues the weaker we shall be in comparison with them." There is something anomalous in this call upon religion to foster a militaristic spirit in the "Church of Heavenly Rest" It is true that from time to time Christianity has had a significant part in wars, has played its part in formulating a fighting morale. Indeed, the spirit of mili tant Christianity has dominated the church from the middle ages even to the present time. During the recent war, our preachers were our home generals and admirals. This was all very well. It is going a bit far, how ever to ask present day religion to act as an agent for arousing in peo ple a fear and hatred of our neigh bors, a means to remove that trust which alone can make possible world peace. The church must take a part in spreading its fundamental doc trine as the basis of international re lations. It must propagate thought, of love and peace instead of war and hatred. - The Rear Admiral's other state ment that this country is getting "effeminate" because of its smug complacency concerning the future, and that Russia, Japan, and Ger many are awaiting the first oppor tunity for aggression that they may despoil us of our enormous riches is sensational but finds little basis in sound reasoning. Few people would deny the fortunate position of this nation as a center of wealth and prosperity, unparalelled in history, but it can hardly yet be said that our civilization is corrupt that our wealth has removed all of our virile qualities. The nation, it is true, must avoid extravagance in peace, but it is equally essential that inefficient and unnecessary war preparations be curtailed. There is no surer harbin tr of strife and sorrow than a na tion that is forever thinking of itself and planning for trouble tv. the fu ture. Perhaps the future holds forth the ruin of America rt the hands of some such nation as Japan or Rus sia. Perhaps the westward march of civilization is inevitable. If such is the case then any preparations for war are mor futile. At any rate it is more sane to believe that an era of peace has been inaugurated, that International disputes will cease to be settled by such a crude and ante dated weapon as war, and in this confidence to minimize preparations for conflict to the all-important task of furthering peace. Such men as Rear Admiral Fiske belong to the passing generation in whom was bred the bogie of a Japa nese war. His remarks can there fore be set aside as of little worth. The new generation prefers to look upon such instruments as the League of Nations and the World Court in stead of avmies and navies, to preach religion ut goodwill instead of a fanaticism of antagonistic threats.
