We do not wish to frighten people but truth is truth. We give here a picture of what will happen if men and nations do not immediately establish Peace. We shout it to all who will listen that civilisation is doomed, and of course with it will go all the inlitutjons that you cherish, and perhaps all that you possess. Read the following and then see if it is not high time to invest in Peace. These facts are gathered from high and dependable authoritities and it is as true as any sayings of the prophets. Vcn, you must put yoursolf on the side of Peace. Therfi mill be a general war, or a continuation of sporadic wars in vpiich we do not become directly involved, that will bring al out the collapse of our economy and force .upon us an econorJc dictatorship, at home, in which case this system of civilisaliofl is finished. There will be a war, in which we are all engaged, in which case this system of civilization is finished. There will be a gradual conquest of tbe world by Germany, Italy and Japan. If they win, we will be alone against the world, facing thne strong empires on the march. There wjiil be a prolonged attrition of all economic life in the midst 'of jsivil and international violence, in which case all civilisation is finished. If immediate Peace cannot be established, as it should be, by the conversion of mens hearts to good will, then it must be commanded by force the force of superior armaments, at least here in he Western Hemisphere. on'men and string along with us for jeaco. .

OUTLINES A PROGRAM Cooperative League News Service. The Monthly Survey of Business of the American Federation of Labor for November, 1038, declares "American industry is today coming to grips with a problem which has never been faced squarel . . The new industrial revolution which took plare with the coming of electric power and highly productive machinery has without our realizing it shaken the very foundations of o ir economic order The captain of industry created mass production, but could not build up a man market able to absorb the they production of high powered industrial plants", the A. F. of L survey points out This situation has led to the creation of which automatically idle factories, idle men and idle mom-create starvation incomes for the masses of American workingmen. Pointing out that government regulation, while correcting some of the minor evils, is not an answer to the problem, the A F. of L. bulletin outlines the following program: There is no one panacea that wili solve it. There are a number of steps which will bring us nearer the goal. We have already embarked on the first step: Trade union organization throughout industry and a steady and rapid increase in wages. Secondly, we need to think of ourselves as consumers. The consumer is the key man of the power age.' His buying power is the gold mine nut of which resources for industrial growth must. come. Eight out of every ten consumers derive their buying power from wages or small salaries. Therefore the trade union has a responsibility as spokesman for more than three quarters of all consumer. As cors imers, however, our concern is not only for income, but also for the lowest possible price and the best possible quality in the goods we biy. Consumers cooperatives are already performing an essential functioi in controlling quality and price for farmers and some trade union members. 1 heir growth is the second measure for increasing buying power.
