HOME INDUSTRY; A SOLID CITY BUILDER.
By Frank J. Chapman, Manager Salem Commercial Club.
'To have a real industrial center, it is necessary to maintain a local
industrial population. ,
, Every step taken by Salem people to expand a factory or shop, by
using its product, makes Salem look better to any manufacturer
seeking such a location as this city, because a supply of labor to
draw upon is vital to all manufacturing.
. . Every factory in Salem is a community asset.
'"Even if only a half dozen men arc employed, these men must live
and maintain their families here.
'The money they earn goes to the grocer, butcher, shoe and cloth
ing stores; the tax collector gets some; so does the dentist and doctor.
If money is spent for goods made elsewhere that can be produced
equally as well here, it means that such money goes away and stays
away forever.
It seems easy to see that we must keep our money at home, for
our own manufactured products, and this will eventually enable the
manufacturer to reach out and bring new business into our com
munity.. Buy home manufactured products. V
vThe "Acres of Diamonds" for Salem are largely in the berry
patches and orchards and flax fields of the surrounding territory
and their indefinite increase.
Salem Is over the top.

If all the people are represented
at the peace conference who want to
be there, there will not be room
enough In all Versailles, or all Paris,
or even all France, for the crowd.

. And in the meantime, the peace
conference Is being offered sugges
tions enough to fill a library full of
books.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. Secre
tary McAdoo and members of the
capital issues committee today agreed
that the committee should continue
indefinitely supervising proposed is-
But as far back as June. 1915. the
cardinal secretary of state declared
that "the holy see does not wish to
create embarrassments for the ltalJ
Ian government and look not to
foreigs -armies, but to the sense of
justice among the people of Italy In
conformity with its true interests."
One would have thought that this of
ficial pronouncement ''would bare
been sufficient to dispose of the sus
picion that the pope looked to a Ger
man victory to win back the tempor
al power. But the calumny was per
sisted in. Only a few months ago.
when the veracious correspondents J
were charging the Vatican with re
sponsibility for the Italian defeat, the
Italian prime minister felt called up
on to publicly deny these charges in
the chamber. But it would seem the
calumny is still doing duty. j
How anyone at all conversant with
history can assert that the pope has
"made no interposition in favor of

It turns .out that the German bat

bluff. It could not at any time have
licked "one side of" either the Brit

Tho Hun-Bolshevik government of
the Ukraine having been overturned,
the end of Bolshevik misrule In Rue-

serve the world for a geneiatlon.

of autocracy, the history of Germany
and of the world would have taken
a very different course, and the chief
causes of the present catastrophe
would have been taken away.
To destroy the liberal and repub
lican sentiment which led to that
flare-up was the chief preoccupation
of the reactionary rulers of Germany,
and to that end they used the schools
the army and the, bureaucratic ma
chine. The schools taught a mis
chievous jingo patriotism, the army
won glorious and profitable victor
ies, the government placated the
masses with welfare legislation. As
result Germany's rulers buried lib
eralism only to see it spring up two
generations later as socialism. With
the revolution of '48 the king of
Prussia could readily have made
terms that would have put not Prus
sia only but all Germany on the way
to a healthy democratic development
like that of England
The great split between the masses
and the upper and middle classes
which gave socialism so tremendous

It will take years for the farmers

Unci Sam is now in the banking
business on his own account, to the
extent at least of loaning war indus
tries (all run by private parties)
more than forty-three million dol
l&rs; forty million dollars of it with
out the medium of any bank. Those
loan were made direct, through the
War Finance Corporation, of which
Secretary McAdoo Is the head. There
will hare to bo some unscrambling
In tblg direction, too.
Mr. Gompers, It he expects the
wages of the labor in this country
t be kept up anywhere near the war
standard, will have to see that there
is a Republican administration at
Washington; In favor of the prlnci
pie of protection. Under the present
tariff laws. It would not take long
to bring about a great deal of uneni
ployment in the United States, and
the consequent lowering of wages In
nearly all If not In all lines.
The craft was estimated to be nearly
300 feet in length. Its number had
been painted out.
Near the Ship Wash lightship
three large British seaplanes, fol
lowed by an airship, were observed.
The Harwich forces and tbe sea
planes and airships made a most im
pressive sight.
One of the submarines was seen
to send up a couple of carrier pig
eons and at once a signal flashed
from the admiral that it had no right
to do this.
When the Bhips cleared the mine
field and entered the war channel
the "paravenes" were hauled aboard.
On Reaching point some 20 miles off
Harwich the ships dropped anchor
and Captain Addison came out on
the warship Maidstone.
British crews were put on board
the submarines to take them Into
harbor. With the exception of the
engine, staff a all the German sailors
remained on deck. The submarines
were then taken through the gates
of the harbor and the German crews
were transferred to the transports
which will take them back to Ger
many. As the boats went through the gates
te white ensign was run up on each
of them with the German flag under
neath. Each German submarine comman
der at the transfer was required to
sign a declaration to the effect that
his vessel was In running order; that
its periscope was intact; that Its tor
pedoes were unloaded and that Its
torpedo heads were safe,
u Orders had been Issued forbidding
demonstrations and were obeyed to
the letter. There was complete si
lence as the submarines surrendered
and as the crews were transferred.
So ended an historic event and the
first portion of the German submar
ine fleet is now In the hands of the
British navy.

In a few days ago, apart from being
ne of the greatest shipping men of
the world prior to the outbreak of
the war, was somewhat celebrated
ecause of his intimacy with the
let-man emperor. On all shipping
natters he was the emperor's trust
id adviser, second only, on occasion,
o Grand Admiral von Tlrpitz. There
was a report widely circulated, that
the resignation of -Von Tirpitz was
finally brought about by Ballin, who
leclare'd himself opposed to many
features of the submarine policy,
tnd having the emperor's ear, was
said to have warned him of the seri
ous consequences of the useless de
struction of merchant ships.
This. was in 1916, but after the
United States entered the war. Herr
Ballin had little to say and soon fell
Into disfavor, probably because of
'lis1 failure to support the emperor
and the government In the policy
which had brought about a state of

The ceremony proclaiming the lib
