Steel and Food
By Ernest Ling

The great boost of American business since
1914 is measured by Jumps of billions Of dollars in
export trade. At first this was mostly war business
with the Allies, manufactured products for use in
battle. Our trade with Europe changed from
preponderance of foodstuffs and raw materials to
the sending of finished steel products Now there
is still tremendous trade with Europe, again of
foodstuffs and raw materials, as before the waI.
In 1920 already there is favorable trade balance
of So 600, 600, 900. What is returned from Europe
is promises to pay 1t is these promises which are
gradually being converted into government bonds
of the European nations.
Meanwhile our manufacturers are looking else
where to send their finished products, and these
are going to South America and Asia In return
this country is receiving large supplies of raw
materials and foodstuffs from South America
the West Indies, and Asia. Production along these
lines is going downward in our own country, while
machine production goes upward. A great quantity
of the foodstuffs and raw materials are reloaded
for European trade
See what happens For the prime necessities
of life we are made to depend, more and more
upon shipments from the far places of the earth
Our own farming areas remain as little cultivated
as before; food production within easy reach is
made less and less profitable. The character of
production which is promoted at home-machine
production, largerly steel products s,-compels an
ever more insistent search for remote markets,
places where there are as yet no railroads or in
dustria establishments
Prosperity of metal! Men, women, children
cry for food - for the food that could be pro-
duced in abundance within few hundreds of miles
and they are answered with the figures showing
profits of steel!
Fabulous wealth starves the nation Thus does
capitalism, by its own prosperity, compel revolu-
tion. 1t is life against steel

is shipping 100000 tons of coal to France per
