How well he covered this great range of subjects will be
;Wft to his audience.
This paper has no fight with Mr. Clagstone. He is a
paid representative of the United States Chamber of Com
merce, travelling about telling his story and attempting to
impress his listeners with the fact that the United States
-t-Htfrmber of Commerce is a good thing for body'and soul.
... . But we do take exceptions to a letter that he read before
His audience, wherein it stated by some alleged celebrity, that
Khe press of the country was undermining the nation by its
attacks made on congress particularly the big daily news
papers. ' Do you scent the full meaning of this statement?
--"'If you i do not, here it is:
Congress and the real big interests of the nation in
cluding moneyed politicians are, and have been for a long
period of time, peddling the. propaganda that newspapers
should not criticize congress, state legislature or other public
functioning bodies. In their efforts they have found close co-operation
from nearly all of the states in the union where uri
tscrupulous politicians are anxious to have the press stilled to
that degree that nothing would, or could be said, detriment
al to their individual interests. It is a step toward govern
;Vnent censureship of newspapers nothing more, nothing
Jess. And what would suit the wily politician better, or
3;erve the higherups more faithfully than a throttled press?
This is the end to which the United States Chamber of Com
merce is working when it sends its emissaries into the field
Ao discredit a free press, trying to camouflage the real issue
' !by appealing to business men, farmers and others to support
Ttheir Washington, D. C, organization and program as out
pined to feather the nest of the multi-millionaire delegation
' "that now wants control of this government, that they may
further usurp the rights of the people, making it possible
.rthat no matter what sort of a rake suggest a plan to stifle
trade and commerce, or interfere with the legitimate busi
Tnm of the country, congress can put the deal over under
'cbVer of darkness and without undue Interference from the
press.
i , The United States Chamber of Commerce is controlled
r by-men of untold wealth, and, judging from its action in ref
!erice to government aid to World War veterans, we opine
that the whole bunch intends keeping what it has and adding
thereto. It was against the soldiers' bonus from the very be
ginning and fought with all its strength to defeat the meas
l sure. It is still opposed to any aid of the American Legion
;boys in compensation for their perilous work at the front. It
I'm against any and all things that vitally affect the big guns
:of the nation.
I " In fact, the organization is no place for the ordinary in
"dividual. He wouldn't get a look in if he were to appear be
fore the board of directors of this organization, unless his
-plcitdings redounded to their own benefit. It will do anything
foa prestige among tho common herd nothing particular
'for their benefit. It is built upon a foundation of service to
"a limited few at the expense of the masses.
- .... If it is not, the United States Chamber of Commerce
had better set a new standard of principles and tear off the
mask of deceit that is sure to throttle any good that it may
intend to accomplish.
" ' Of course, this body is anxious to "lino up" all local
chambers, for in great numbers there is strength, and when
this big power wants to accomplish a certain program they
desire the backing of all chambers of commerce to that end.
It's a wise chamber that "knows it's lx-rrii's" when it comes
to dealing with the offerings of the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
That will Interest your small
boy. It appllea to politicians, edit
ors, etc., aa well as hens.
