Under the new economic policy, the 5 peasant could sell grain where he ; Ghose, and the function of the new grain trust was to buy it from him, | trying if possible to control enuf of the market so that the peasant might be protected against private speculat- ors. It was this trust, last autumn, yee when the crop failure started wild shifts of prices in grain and livestock, which swiftly stabalized markets and prevented much suffering. Importance of Grain Trust. “Great is the importance of the a, State Grain Trust,” says Smirnov, } cgmmissar of agriculture, in an in- terview given on the third anniversary of the founding of the trust. “This trust, newly organized three years ago, had to build a market for peasant produce, stabilize prices, and keep this all in harmony with the in- terests of state industry, the condi- tions of our transport and our monop- oly of foreign commerce, Alds Induetries. “Capital was very scant, and con- sisted chiefly of leftover supplies of the department of supply, most of them the things which the peasants had not wanted. Bank financing was still imperfect and inadequate.

The experiences of the Italian masses with the brutal rule of American caplitalsim In the mines, railroads, building trades, in the textile Industry and in the garment trades, have created for our movement execilient opportunities for growth. A daily Il Lavoratore will help the Itallan masses in their dally struggles and will enable our party to bulld a powerful revolutionary movement among the Italian speaking workers in the United States. The Central Executive Committee of the Workers Party calls upon every member of our Italian Section to join wholeheartedly in the cam- paign FOR A DAILY IL LAVORATORE. We call upon every Italian worker In the United States to support our Italian Section in this cam- paign. A DAILY IL LAVORATORE means more strength for the Italian workers in their daily struggles against the bosses. A DAILY IL LAVORATORE means more consciousness and more determination on the part of the Italian masses in their fight against the Mussolinis of American capitalism. Every member of our Italian Section must at once answer the call of the Italian Bureau, and of the Central Executive Committee to transform the IL LAVORATORE into a daly in the short- Drive for Longer Hours Foretold.

But Wall Street does not trust those who placed Calles in power and Calles no matter how willing he may be finds himself restricted in his desire to ful- fill his promise to the bankers. This is the reason Kellogg hints of a revo- lution in Mexico; a De La Huerta revolution supported by the fascist! elements and the Catholic church. + io . O far the honors are with Calles, even tho the weight of metal and man power are with the United States. But Coolidge will not find it so easy to prepare the masses of this country for an invasion of Mexico. The workers and farmers of the United States will not feel elated over the prospect of going over the border and risking their lives to collect bills for the House of Morgan or see that their pillaged lands and their mines are returned to the American bandits who took them from their rightful owners. It looks as if “Nervous Nell” Kellogg pulled a boner. Hands off Mexico! . . o OGER WOLLF KAHN, son of Otto H, Kahn, financier and angel of artists, is now a fully fledged detec- tive in New York City. Young Kahn is a jazz orchestra leader and the de- tective’s badge was conferred on him at the opening of a roof garden where the scion of wealth is playing. A pub- licity stunt?

USINESS was stimulated in South Africa during May by the visit of the Prince of Wales. This informa- tion is sent out over the press service of the United States labor department. We are not informed what particular business was benefitted by § the prince’s presence, but venture to guess that the liquor business did not go down unless it went down Edward P.’s throat. Anyhow it is interesting to note that the DAILY WORKER stated that the price was travelling as an imperial salesman. And it is a poor salesman who does not boost his firm’s business. a > s UITE a rumpus was raised in the house Of lords recently when one of the peers stated that slave trading was going on in parts of the British empire. Viscount Cecil, one of those slimy pseudo-liberals whose hypocrisy makes such a hit with our half-baked pacifists, denied that the government knew anything about such activity. He said the league of nations was in- vestigating those rumors and the league favored pitiless publicity. The league is owned by Britian and nat- urally favors publicity for any wrong doing that other nations are concerned in, but it maintains a policy of sil- ence for the unsavory ventures of | Michigan a LOW BE CURSE Gary Li | Be Cottons in ama wy tliane OLDs, Federated Press.

HOWITT (Worker Correspondent) TOLEDO, Ohio, June 13—(By Mail) —Canton Ave. which has been known as the bad lands in Toledo for many years, and which has been a notor ious spot for holdups and murders, is experiencing a great change in appear- ance. About a dozen old shacks and tene- ments are being torn down. The rea- son for this change is not because of the fact that these delapidated struc- tures are a menace to the life and health of the slum proletariat who have been inhabiting them but; it is because that real estate values have increased. As long as these smug church mem- bers and. hypocrites who prate s0 much about our pure womanhood and who are the advocates of bible read- ing in the schools, could rent these mouldy, disease breeding, vermin in- fested, fire traps to unfortunate women who have to sell their bodies for bread; they were perfectly willing to do this. The Christly Plunderer, The heaviest holder of real estate in this neighborhood is a very pa(y)tri- otic church member by name Sam Davis, who has become wealthy by exploiting slaves in the trucking business. This man attempted to send his aged father to the poorhouse several years ago, but was prevented from doing this however, by indignant neighbors who learned of his inten- tions. The city has grown up around these slums and the real estate values have increased to such an extent that the parasites who hold this land can cash is now and can make as much as they would by renting to unfortunate wo- men and bootleggers. This is the reason that the fallen women who ply their trade on the street with the familiar salutation of “hello; dear,” will have to seek a place elsewhére in some other location, where the landlord is looking for donble or triple the rent that he gets now for some old shack, The City Prison. The most beautiful building that is being. built in this neighborhood, and which covers half a city block is the city prison, This building is being built on the site of what was formerly known as the slave market, or in polite English the state employment office. The wage slaves who came here for years to sell their labor power still come to this rendezvous; I suppose from force of habit. It is more than possible that many of these workers will be compelled to visit this beautiful building in the near future. This is just a guess, and a conting- ency which we hope will not happen, but economic conditions get worse and the crowd on the street here in- creases from day to day. It looks as if this would be the outcome.

Looking ’em Over The United States has as fine a collection of labor skates as any country under the sun, not even excluding Britain, the home of the species. It is interesting to watch these animals doing their stuff on the capitalist stage and begging for the applause that comes as part compensation for their services. _ In the higher grades the fakers manage to veil their treason be- hind a theory of class collaboration which at least gives an indica- tion of intelligence if not of honesty. But among the lower strata the brazen tactics of the street walker are used, and the capitalists are to come on and invest a small sum in a good proposition, in this case a deserving labor skate. ? We offer the following quotation from the Union Labor Journal of Bakersfield, California, as one of our exhibits in this rogue’s gallery : Labor Is loyal to the American government—that is as set forth in the constitution. Hence labor haa several conflicts on its hands. it Is fighting |. W. W.lsm and Communism, quite as much as these are fighting labor. 80 long as labor remains the overwhelming majority it is, when compared with these two named factors, it will keep thesa two revolutionary factors from the activity they plan. To the reverse, so soon as labor loses that position, then the revolu- tionary party will be In power. Strange as it may seom, labor has another enemy. This is with certain elementa of organized capital. There has been an effort all over America, and Bakersfield Is no exception, to bring about a condition which would destroy or paralyze the labor unions. For- tunately for the United States this has falled In the majority of places. It has succeeded in a few. We say it ls strange. One would think that with the sweep of radicalism, affecting many countries with the doctrine of absolute Commuism, that capital would be anxious to defend itself from these inroads by the bulwark that labor Is. Note that this parboiled idiot expresses amazement that labor should have as one of its enemies “certain elements of organized | capital.” Since Harry K. Thaw gave forth his famous “rabbit in- terview” during his “sanity trial” in Philadelphia, no other human being has succeeded in fathering a more obvious proof of intel- lectual vacuity than the writer of the above nonsense. Labor or- ganizations under capitalism, have no other reason for existence than to fight capitalism because in their efforts to improve the conditions of the workers, not to speak of emancipating them, they are faced with the opposition of the employers at every turn of the road. This despicable prostitute holds up the radicals as an example of what will happen to the employers unless they support financially, the stoolpigeons who are using the labor movement for their own private end and to the detriment of the masses. The sooner this foul brood is cleared out of the ranks of labor the better. the war. (“An American Diplomat in China,” Paul 8, Reinsch.) Japan lost no opportunities to make hay while the sun of allied favor shown on her endeavors in China In this she was ably assisted by the al- lied diplomatic corps.

The more money was wasted the better was the ’ “government pleased. It hoped to have China so securely in pawn by the time the war ended that Japan d have first call on the revenue ~ tresources of China even tho the allied imperialists welched on their secfet treaties. Japan was getting hitige concessions for little or nothing "while civil war weakened the nation.”* States touching the Atlantic sea- bo from Maine to, but not Includ- Florida. The miltarists, money with which to*pay their mer- cenary armies were warring on the Chinese people, simply peddied China to Japan: To pay for these loane China has mortgaged railway lines, gold, coal, antimony and iron mines. She has mortgaged the government printing Office at Peking, the Hankow elec- trio light and water works and na- tlve forests in various parts of the country, There is a clause in each one of snene agreements that the caring only for. the greedy Japanese merely acted as an appetizer for them and so outrage- ous were the terms of many of these loans and the corresponding conces- sions that Japan was afraid to have them known! The Japanese minister here hae warned the Chinese government | that If. premature disclosures of secret documents by China cause loss to Japanese financial and com- mercial interests, Japan will hold China responsible for such loss.

They even stretch their hands out for Europe, thru the medium of the Dawes plan. Imperialism, the Final Stage of Capl- ‘ taliem. HE natives must be “colonialized,” that is, they must be virtually en- slaved. Wall Street has the armed might of the United States govern- ment at its disposal for this purpose. 'Many a Yankee soldier has been sent out to Haiti or Central ‘America to fight and die for the National City Bank. In China today Ameri¢ah troops are taking a leading part in the latest outrages against the Chinese people, which have as their purpose the re- division of China among robber im- perialists. This is the ants of today. It is imperialism. ~- Imperialism is the final stage of capitalism, spri out of the soil of capitalism, res on the system of wage-slavery in home country and bringing with 9 My and greater sufferings for the workers.

The proclamation of the All-Amerti- can Anti-Imperialist League points the way. Trade Unions and Labor Fakers. HE American trade unions should be the first to take up the vital struggle of the workers against impe- rialism. Many of them have already shown their determination to do this. But the bureaucratic officialdom of the trade unions is not anti-imperial- ist but pro-imperialist. The compla- cent ’$10,000-a-year labor leadrs” are themselves enjoying the fruits of im- perialism; the extravagant profits wrung from the toil of colonial and semi-colonial peoples, enable the im- perialists to share a small portion with the so-called aristocracy of la- bor, a form of bribe-money of which the labor fakers are the first to take advantage. These “labor leaders” do not live the lives of workers. They do not represent the real interests of the workers. They interfere with every attempt to strengthen the unions by amalgamation. They sabotage the movement for’ the formation of a labor party to give political expression to the workers as against the political parties of the bosses. They lead the workers to the slaughter whenever a new imperialist profit-war breaks out! 4 leek MANIFESTO OF THE WORKERS (COMMUNIST) PARTY OF AMERICA The paid press agents of imperial- ism tell us that the United States has entered these territories “for their own good.” that American rule is beneficial that the natives like it and that “only a discordant minority” op- poses. This is the hypocritical lan- guage of imperialism—the same as that used by the British imperialists in India, and by profit-seeking impe- rialists everywhere. What are the facts? Filipinos and Latin Americans Wa Freedom. HE Filipino voters have time after time demanded immediate inde- pendence from the United States. Both houses of the Filipino congress are completely in the hands of the independence party led by Manuel Quezon, who has just scored another evorwhelming victory at the polls. Porto Rico has already forced the rééaii of one American governor-gen- eral afid, against the open hostility of American officials, has kept in of- fice a legislature elected on a plat- form of national independence.

A recent dispatch to the:capitalist press from Fez says: Without understanding the surprising discipline and organization which Abd-el-Krim hag been able to develop in a little time among the dissident tribes, without seeing the material which he has at his disposal and his manner of utilizing the natural advantages of the terrain, without seeing the possible effect the present situation may have on the loyal tribes, it is easy to believe abroad, even in France, the Abd-el-Krim, being a native adversary; if of no importance. Even here the tendency is to underestimate the new spirit which Inspires the whole of islam since Mustapha Kemal triumphed over the European armies of Greece and Abd-el-Krim’s victory over Spain... What has made possible the unity of the nomadic tribes of North- ern Africa against Spanish and Frencli imperialism? It is the belief in the ability and the right of the subject peoples to govern themselves, a confidence in themselves inspired by a mastery of the weapons of modern warfare gained as conscripts in the world con- flict, a hatred of foreign domination on the part of the peasants and herdsmen springing from their inferior economic status under for- eign rule. As. these colonial Movements rise higher and higher to plague imperialism when it needs stability, more and more does the immense practicality of the Cormmunist theory of the revolutionary role of colonial peoples as allies of the working class become apparent. é a The Empire Is Sensitive Great indignation is raging thru aristocratic circles in London over the action of Solomon, king of the Zulus, in refusing to accord the prince of Wales a royal salute. The prince has been playing the role of imperial drummer in South Africa and great throngs of natives have been induced to greet him by threats of force or promises of gain. But it seems that Selomon was not exactly pleased with the way he was treated by the heir to the British throne at one of those staged receptions. The Zulu chief indirectly told the prince to go chase himself with the result that Solomon’s followers. found con- siderable satisfaction in the spectacle of their chief telling a repres- entative of a big empire where to horn in at. This injures imperial prestige and it does not look any too good in the movies. So the imperial brigands are going to punish Solomon if they find him haps they guilty of lese majeste. will not.

Big Profits for the Trusts. HE profits of the bosses are great- er than ever. At the beginning of 1925, 81 industrial corporations re- ported undivided surplus profits of $1,652,057,381. Monopoly profits may be realized because every important industry in the land is dominated by a handful of individuals. There is the oil trust, the steel trust, the copper trust, the electric trust, the sugar All that is left When the worker# combine to im- prove their conditions they are greet- end with police clubs. If they initiate a big strike, the militia may be called out aghinst them. Injunctions are is- sued. Meetings are broken up. Strike- leaders are arrested. A “Business Man’s Government.” OR the government is on the side of the bosses. This means that a handful of mono- polists, who control American indus- try, also control the federal govern- ment. The policy of the government is their policy. The power of the government is theirs to utilize as they see fit—now in West Virginia, against the striking coal miners; now in far- off China, against the natives who re- volt against foreign profit-interven- tion, It is they who are behind the scheme for a general mobilization on July 4.

It results in devastating wars—the bloodiest and most tremendous wars the world has ever seen—tearing the workers from their families and send- ing them to kill and be killed on foreign battlefields for the sake of the money kings. The Next War. AR is one of the regular forms of competition between the great militarized imperial trusts of modern capitalism.

WORKERS PARTY OF AMERICA, Willlam Z. Foster, Chairman, C. E. Ruthenberg, Executive Seo. Illinois Industrial Situation Getting Gloomy By JAY LOVESTONE HE latest report on the industrial situation in Illinois in May 1925, just issued by R. D. Cahan, chief sta- tistician of the Illinois department of labor, shows very clearly that “the downward course of industry in Ih- nois continues.” The volume of employment in the state shows that conditions make May 1925 the worst May in four years. Reports from manufacturers employ- ing formerly about 40 per cent of the factory’ workers of the state show that the number of unemployed has been increasing by the slackening of operations in the factories by 21,000 since the middle of February. Indus- trial operations in Illinois are today 7 per cent below the level] of a year ago and 14 per cent below that of May 1923. Illinois Not Alone In Decline The report goes on to say “that Iilinois is not alone in experiencing the effects of depressed industry.... a preliminary statement issued by the press on June 10th by the New York state department of labor states that employment in that state had receded 1 per cent in May following a 2 per cent decline in April.” Unemployment a Serious Probiem The Illinois state department of la- bor declares that “the present down- began nearly two years ago.” Official figures indicate that there are now than thefe were a year ago today. Employmeitt is-continuing to decline. A yéar ago the unemployment situa- tion in Pilinois was already declared to be confidential. The Illinois depart- ment of labor had@ declared in 1924 that the unemployment situation was already a serious problem. Mining Situation Growing Worse The mining industry is not only not improving but actually growing worse There are today more mines closed down than there were a year ago. The largest mine.in the Peoria sub- district has just shut down. 15 to 47 mines .submitting monthly reports to the Illinois department of labor were completely inactive during May. Metal Indusries Hard Hit. The decline of employment was particularly noticeable and severe in some of the metal industries. The steel mills laid off nearly 4 per cent of their workers; tools and cutlery manufacturers 6 per cent; and agri- cultural implements 2% per cent. Automobiles and accessories concerns were the only outstanding instances of industrial expansion in this group. General Conditions Poor. UE to freakish changes in weather the out-of-door trades which tsual- ly are busy in May have been held back this year. Also, May usually shows a high level of employment. in the furniture and musical instrument | factories, May, 1925, however, was an ward course of industry is apparently | a continuation of a movement that | exception.

In the same period women’s clothes factories laid off nearly 12 per cent of their workers arid the millinery factories laid off nearly 30 per cent of their workers. The payroll of 1184 employers re porting to the state industrial depart-, : ment shows a decline of nearly 1 per cent during the month. British Rail Union on Officially Welcomes.
