With the open declaration by the
American communist party in it's
New York convention, just held, that
it is working for dictatorship of the
proletariat in America and that it
follows the lead of the communist
international, the futility of depart
ment of justice "flat-foot" methods is
shown.
The communist party claims a
membership of 10000. 1t is possible
that the claim is not too large. That
still leaves something more than 100,-
600 Americans who are not commun-
lists.
The number of communists prob
ably is about equal to the number of
millionaires in the United States
Small groups, well organized, shrewd-
ly led, can make an impression much
beyond their strength of numbers.
Thirty thousand communists, work
ing at strategic points, unopposed by
intelligent methods, can do much
temporary damage.
So far as the labor movement is
concerned, it is well konwn that the
communist propaganda machine is di-
recting it's attack in certain we'll
defined directions, in accord with the
long-standing Moscow declaration
that in order to capture America the
American Federation of Labor must
first be destroyed.
The New York meeting stopped
short of declaring in favor of armed
insurrection, not because the dele
tions, but because they wanted to re-
main at liberty. Their discussion was
equal to an assertion that they be-
lieved in armed insurrection, but that
the time was not opportune for say
ing so in public.
In connection with the New York
communist convention and reports
published in connection with that
event, it should be remembered that
there are in America a number of
organizations operating under COM
munist direction and in accord with
communist policy, though not all are
called communist The Russian Red
Cross is one of these. In addition to
this there is a Russian relief organi
zation and finally there is the Trade
Union Educational League, operated
by William H. Foster. This does not
complete the list, but these are the
principal links in the communist
propaganda chain in America.
Each separate factor makes what
ever avowals seem to it to best serve
the general purpose. There is an ex-
cellent degree of harmony regarding
this, because there is finally a single
source of authority, which is Moscow.
The labor movement is the best
equipped agency in the United States
through which to combat the COM
munist doctrine. First of all, the la
Dor movement is the first object of
attack. Second, the democratic phi

BOSSES DODGE PROBE

New York-Because of the obstruc-

Hapgood has resigned as impartial

The resignation is the elimination
of "high" wage claims by the bosses.

made, and finally the workers sug-

view published by that company is
probably one of the best in the field.
What great many persons un-
doubtedly do not realize is that these
reviews in time of need serve as prop
aganda agencies for high finance and
that their dignity and seeming author
ity makes them the more effective
when real need arises. The discrim-
mating reader will find much of in
terest and value in the pages of these
periodicals, but those who do not dis
criminate are likely to be brought
to false conclusions on most import
ant matters.
The publication issued by the Ma
tional City Bank is issued monthly
and averages about sixteen pages. The
National City Bank represents specu-
lative finance just as Morgan & Com
pany represents industrial finance.
The National City Bank, better than
any other institution, typifes Wall
street.
Nothing has so disturbed the Ma
tional City Bank as the recent cleo
tion in which progressives hostile to
railroad profiteering and to plunder-
ing in general were so uniformly sue
cessful if we are to believe the De-
cember issue of the publication issued
by that bank.
Here's Why Finance is Worried by
Outlook
1t will be interesting to know why
high fianance looks upon the progres-
sive victory as such a menace. The
explanation is in the following quo
tation from the National City Bank
publication:
Notwithstanding the evidence that
the depression of agricultural prices
has been directly related to the world
situation policies are proposed in the
name of relief for agriculture, which
if carried out must tend to check the
improvement in agricultural condi-
tions which is under way, and throw
the country back into state of dis
organization, uncertainty and confu-
sion.
"The stock market, which is quick
to sense developments unfavorable to
orderly business progress, has shown
decided weakness since the election,
railroad shares leading in the decline.
Although the country evidently is
suffering from the inadequacy of rail
road facilities, due to the fact that
railroad investments no longer COM
mand the confidence of the public,
one of the objects of the revived agi-
tation is the repeal of the transporta-
tion act defining what in the opinion
of the legislative authority, is a fair
return upon railroad property Moth
ing more would be required to make
the railroad situation hopeless. Rail
road service cannot be had without the
facilities, and these cannot be had
unless the investing public is assured
of return corresponding to what can
be had in other fields of investment.
One view commonly held at the
sources of this agitation seems to be
that the railroads are owned by few
rich bankers who are able to put
their hands in their pockets for all
the money needed to provide the nee
essary expansion of service. The rail
roads, however, are not owned by
bankers; the ownership is widely dis
tributed and will respond with addi-
tional capital only as it believes the
investment to be safe. The strongest
companies are able to borrow, by
mortgages or obligations that rank
ahead of their stock, but this is just
like putting second mortgage on
a farm. This process cannot be car
