It is the nature bf the business —the
character of the Enterprise.
Perhaps no manufacturing industry has the brdad ap
plication, the wide elasticity, possessed by the modern
automobile plant.
From Peace to War, or from War to Peace, is only a step when
the equipment is complete. There is little lost time, and little lost
energy^ From the bayonet to the plowshare is only a whisper.
The Pan Motor Company has invested in fixed assets-buildings,

There was no blacklisting at the
state mine and all employes were re
quired to be members of the.miners'
union. Blacklisted miners from pri
vately owned mines, found regular em
ployment and the town became the
center of the most active educational
movement in behalf of labor anywhere
in New Zealand.
A co-operative store belonging to
the .miners had practically all the
trade. A co-operative tailoring com-.
pany was organized which employed
some 20 tailors and made goods on,
orders from all over the country.'

From the public library more books
were read in proportion to population
than in any other town under the Brit
ish flag. The school is one of the best
and the head teacher is the author of
some of the best pamphlets on the
labor question anywhere to be found
in print. The pastor of the
church is the secretary of
Labor party organization and is
frequent speaker in the labor
paigns.

Joseph McCabe, the
tific lecturer and author, the man
who translated Haeckel's "Riddles of
the Universe" into English, told me
that he had' had a more appreciative
hearing in that town for a purely
scientific lecture than had ever b^en
given him anywhere in the English
speaking world.
I It has been found here as elsewhere
that it is not true that employes in
publicly owned industries form a vot
ing machine and always vote with the
party in power. In an election which
took place in that, parliamentary dis-'
trict while I was there the Tories, then
in office, got but one vote to every
seven cast against the Tory party and
in behalf of labor.
A BACK NUMBER

Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
Inclosed find an old 1916 clipping
from the Sioux City Journal, showing
up one of the despicable acts in
Roosevelt's career. Now*he is trying
his best to do some more, Still the.
Journal finds it possible to back him
up now.
T. R. has fooled the voters enough.
He is done for. A little noise is all
that he has left. A

-The editorial referred to gives an
account of Roosevelt's junker tactics
in seizing the Panam.a territory from
the republic of Colombia by intrigue
and force of arms. His explanation
was "We needed Panama and 1 took
it." Yet the same man is now berat
ing the German junkers.
To the shame of America this act
of rampant imperialism has-not yet
been righted for no other reason than
that we are stronger than little Co
lombia. In his message to congress on
December 2 President Wilson asked
congress to ratifjr the new Colombia
treaty "that our professions before the
world might square witi^ our prac

PACTS ON THE BANKERS
It was ascerteined at-that time that
1,247 national banks out of a total of
7,600 were openly charging rates -of
interest forbidden by the laws of their
respective states and by- the national
bank act, and that despite the easy
money conditions 2,743 banks were
charging on soihe of their loans inter
est of 10 per cent or more per annum.
One bahk admitted under oath that
it was charging an average of 25 per
cent per 'annum on all of its loans
another an average of 36 per cent and
a third an average of 40 per cent per
annum on all loans.—JOHN SKEL
TON WILLIAMS, (Comptroller of
Currency, in the Forum for November.

big papers are sure that the farmer is
