According to Government returns
kor laao. II is stated in recent
x3tahement prepared by the United
States Bureau of Education, the peo-
ple OF the United States spent for
Isunries last year s22.T00.000,000.
sOf this huge sum, more than double
ne vast debt owed us by foreign
countries. $750,000,00O was for face

The point made by the Bureau of
Education is that the American peo-
pie in 1920 spent for things which at
SIS. 6.0o0 100000 more than We have
spent for education in the three hun
dred years Of Americas history. It
rs estimated that the grand total of
expenditures on educational institu-
tions of all kinds from the discovery
OF America to the present time has
been approximately $16,645, 100000.
In 1913. the last year for which COM
piete returns have been compiled,
there was spent in the United States
for public education, elementary and
secondary, 62,25e,164 for normal

diate the Monroe Doctrine and "our"
domination over Mexico, the West In

force our capitalist imperialists to
abandon "our financial superiority

/ They cannot. For their positions and
profits are dependent on the success
of BIG BUSINESS in its imperialist

has proved in the First World War

in a riot Of paytriotism, to applaud the
shipment Of millions Of American sons,
mostly workers, on marauding jun

the next world war they will no less
approve sending American sons to the
bottom Of the sea around Yap, the
Panama Canal, or the Philippines.
Now, he who wills the end must
accept the means. But our middle class
cravens want the spoils without the
robbery and war by which alone they
can be got. General Robert l.. Bullard

COOPERATIVE CAPITALISM.

-4
But Cooperative capitalism in distinction from
private capitalism under Soviet Government is
another aspect of State Capitalism, and in that
capacity it is useful and advantageous for us, Of
course to certain extent. In SO far as the agri-
cultural tax signifies the freedom to sell the remain
der of produce not taken as tax it is necessary to
exert all efforts to direct this development of
capitalism-for freedom of trade is the develop,
ment of capitaism,--along the path of cooperative
capitalism. Cooperative capitalism is like State
Capitalism in that it renders easy control obser-
vation and the maintenance of treaty relations be-
tween the State (the Soviet in this instance) and
the capitalists. Cooperation as form of trade is
more advantageous and useful than private trade,
not only for the reasons already Indicated but also
because it facilitates the organization of millions
Of the population. This in its turn is tremendous
gain from the point of view of further transition
from State Capitalism to Socialism.
Let us compare concessions with cooperation as
form Of State Capitalism Concessions are based
on large machine industry, whereas cooperation is
based small and partly patrarchal industry;
concession is granted to single capitalist
single firm, syndicate a cartel or trust. A CO..
operative society embraces many thousands even
millions, of small masters. A concession permits of
and even presupposes definite treaty for definite
term whereas cooperative society does not permit
of definite agreements definite terms. 1t is easier
to repeal law on cooperative societies than to
break concession agreement; for the breaking Of
concession agreement Immediately means the
break-off of economic relations alliance or economic
rehabilitation with capitalism, whereas the repeal
of law on cooperation or the repeal of any law
for that matter not only does not break off the
actual rehabilitation" of the Soviet Government with
the small capitalists but cannot affect economic re-
lations in general. 1t is easy to keep an eye on
the cOncessonare but it is difficult to do SO on the
cOoperator. The transition from concessions to So
ciaism is the transition from one form of large pro-
ducton to another. The transition from the coopera-
tion of small masters to socialism is a transition
from small production to large production e. to
a more complicated form of production. The latter
has this cOmpensatng feature, however, that in the
event of successful transition, it is capable of
tearing out far deeper, and more VITAL root of the
old pre-socialist and even pre-captast relations,
of that which puts up the most stubborn resistance

Such policy would put the So
cialist Party just where it belongs.
1t would merely serve to hasten the
transformation Of the Socialist Party
into Party of Scheidemans and Nos
kes, which must inevitably come. This
is policy of honesty. And in spite
of the fact that Berger and Hoan may
someday find themselves signing my
death warrant or that of my Com
rades I cannot help but like them for
their frankness.

Peace is cheap! That is the outcry

of March Is is still green, when our
goodly trades and professional people

The organ of the timid middle class,

all, be admitted that he was not al
together in disagreement with fusion,
although he said he did not think it
practicable AT THIS TINE.
If the Socialist Party persists in
this policy, it must fear for its future.
If it continues to denounce the Third
international and disavows the more
revolutionary tactics that are being
embraced the world over, it can, to
be sure, never hope to draw support
from the more advanced portion Of the
American working class. Continuing
a policy of aloofness toward the liberal
