RECOMMENDATIONS
 MADE FOR LOANS IN SOUTH AMERICA

Washington, Jan. 22-Group com mittees of the Pan-American Finan- ciaI Congress made recommendations yesterday for several loans to South American countries by American bankers.
 Dr. Louis Borja of Ecuador re- ported to that group 8 plan for the refunding of the entire internal and external debt of Ecuador involving 0,Oo0,000, and the plan was ap- proved. Under it enough money would be raised not only to refund the entire debt, but also to furnish a surplus for developing Ecuadoran transportation systems The com mittee recommended that larger American banks be encouraged to es- tablish branches in Ecuador.
 The Nicaragua group approved a recommendation to American bank eers to grant a $5,0O0,000 loan for railroad purposes within the republic, while the Bolivian delegates approv-

Industrial Unionism in
England.
By Colonna.

BY COlOnna.
Industrial unionisfn in England may be described
as raw organization with future. Examples Of
the weakness of purpose, and individuality OF ac-
tion have been adequately provided by the recent
strikes.
England is in the unfortunate position of having
sometimes as many as a dozen different unions
represented in one large factory-and, contrary
to promises, these unions do not support each
other
The attempted strike of the miners supports
this statement The British public, hypnotized by
their Labour M. P's, and chloroformed by the
press are siding with the Lloyd George faction
in word, they are begging permission to pay an
extra So per week for their COAL
Huge combines are now in process of formation
some are already a fact although they may not
be so obvious as those of the United States
Spasmodic strikes are the order of the day. This
in itself is good sign, but the mere fact that most
of these strikes are only brought about by one in
divdual union at time proves that unionism is
far from it's goal-Today it is the police, to-mor-
row the tram drivers, the next day the miners but
never all together, never any really large section.
On the other hand, the organizations of the
middle classes are more or less united. freedom"
leagues and peoples" leagues, to put down Boil
-shevism are springing up all over the country.
Unfortunately, the Communist organizations
(rather numerous in England, but not noted for
their size or work. have not quite grasped the
fact that industrial organization is necessary Un-
til they do, no progress can be made unless it is
done outside these parties.
Industry is imprisoned in the shell of
bourgeois rule. Until the moment, which will
undoubtedly come in which realization of the in
adequacy of purely political agitation thoroughly
forces its way into the understanding of the work.
ers arrives nothing but failure can attend the eff
forts of the cassconscious section of the workers.
but, when that is come, then new world will be
opened up to the proletarian, world in which all
are free, and where parasites are not.

Letters From, Russia.

Knowing that you are anxious to hear authen-
tic news from Russia, and are willing to pu-
blish same in your weekly, wish to state that
in my possession are few letters from Moscow OF
recent date (July, 1920.
One of them is written by the wife of form
er manufacturer, now employed in his plant as
worker. She says in part:
''We have suffered great deal, and are still
lacking many comforts but we are nevertheless
happy We glory in the thought that we are living
in period in which such great things are trans
piring The present may have many negative
features, but we are sure of positive gains in the
future. Yes it seems all so strange, like tale from
the Thousand And -One-Nights. Yet it is true All
are now equal in our country"
Considering that the writer of the above
words was, before the proletarian revolution bit
terly opposed to the workers cause, we must con-
clude that at least portion of the bourgeosie be-
came imbued with the ideology of the Communists
and now share their enthusiastic hopes for great
future of the Communist State
In another letter, woman of the intellectual
class tells of her search for position as libra
rian She says:
'I came to Moscow couple Of days ago.
registered in the Labor Bureau, and was offered
a few positions have not made my selection yet
but I am celebrating on the merits of the offers
When shall have chosen my place of work, l in
tend to bring my belongings and settle in Moscow
for good"
This description of the process of obtaining
employment in Russia impresses one very favor
ably The labor bureaus are evidently national en-
ployment offices keeping accurate records of the
supply and demand Of labor
The reports of the "militarization" and "en-
slavement" of labor so often appearing in the
capitalist press may be safely classed with the
rest of the anti-Bolshevist propaganda of the
bought-and- -paid-for newspaper agents. 1t is
also quite certain that our native as well as for
eign liberals shed useless tears and break their
tender hearts, bemoaning the lack of democracy
in the Workers Republic of Russia.
