Capitalism Drives
To Suicide, ShOlU
Insurance Records
CBy The Federated Pr.ss)

Death claims paid for suicides
during 1923 by one Of the largest
insurance companies in The country
indicate that the present economic
order is becoming increasingly intol-
cradle to the human beings for
whom it is supposed to exist. Sui,
eide claims paid by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company amounted
to $1,300,000 and exceeded by ap-
proximately $150,000 the payments
by the company for deaths caused
by automobile accidents during the
same period.
"The prevention of self destruc-
tion," according to the statistical
bulletin of the company, sis one Of
the major problems in the conserva-
ton Of life" Such sentence might
have been written in Rome 1000
years ago when the Mediterranean
world was dominated by a small
clique of very wealthy capitalists.

gogic observation made by Preobra
zensky, to the effect thar the stud
ents who had passed thru the Sverd,
lov university gam culture and
MARKHAM knowledge, but that this
knowledge is Of no use to them if
they cannot apply 1t 20 real life.
We know that all the rest of the
Sverdlov scholars and students Of
our universities hold circles, and
participate in Party work. And it
is well that they do so!
But to assert that there is no
room in our country for the appli-
cation of Merriam knowledge, in a
country where we have so many IL
literates and politically untaught; to
assert to the youthful members that
they will never be able to apply
their knowledge, for the Party pre-
vents them-that is bad demogogy.
comrades.
When Comrade Proebrazensl;y
makes such assertions. it is at least
incautious of Comrade Trotzky to
make the observation which he does
with regard to the youth, especially
if we consider Che circumstances
under which he makes it.
Another TrotzIky Mistake.
Comrade Trotzky makes another
grave mistake here. 1t is not cor
rect to regard this youth as a baro-
meter which the Central Committee
has to take as rule Of conduct. The
barometer according 10 which the
Central Committee has to regulate
its actions is-the workers in the
workshops and factories. 1t is not
our intention to deprsiate the value
of the other groups in the least.
But if we are speaking of who is
the weather maker for the Party,
then it is a matter Of course that
this role is played by the workers.
We seek these workmen alike, in the
nuclei and at their work.
The youth question has become
particularly acute at the present
time and We rlust come to definite
agreement. Should anyone succeed
in erecting a partition between the
main core of the Party and the
youth, this partition would naturally
be a great misfortune for us.
We are, therefore, convinced that
the overwhelming majority of the
really proletarian youth, now learn
ing under the guidance of the Party,
will discern the intrinsic character
of our differences of opinion, and
will say to the rraisers Of youth: Do
not praise us too much, we are not
going to allow ourselves to be di-
vided from the old fundamental core
of the Party. We want to learn
from the old main core of the Boil
shevist Party. ] think that the
great majority Of the youthful mem
bers will speak thus, and they will
be right.

jority of the Central Committee.
The rule of the bourSeoisie ant
parliament spoils people. That is
true. But fortunately these ele-
ments do not obtain amongst US,
and our past IS cleaner than that
Of Kautsky and Bernstein, and we
are carved from another wood al
together
The third passage in Comrade
Trotzky's letter which calls for spe-
cial objections on our part is that
in which lie speaks of the youth.
This is an especially wide and deli
cate question, and cannot be passed
over in silence.
The Youth.
Comrade 1rotzky expresses him
self as follows: "Since the Party
apparatus is unavoidably constituted
out Of the most experienced and
proved comrades, the worst corse-
quences of the bureaucratism Of the
apparatus will be its influence on the
theological political formation of the
young generation of the Party. II
is precisely owing 20 this circurn-
stance that the youth-the surest
barometer Of the Party-reacts
against the Party bureaucratism in
the most energetic manner" In
other words, the question dealt with
is that Of the Party generations, of
the fundamental core-the old Bel
shevist guard and the Youth.
! have already quoted the main
figures referring to the various ages
represented among Party members
We are fully convinced that there
are no differences of opinion between
US and our young guard, and that
there cannot be any.
In no case must we permit The
old Bolshevild to hold the young in
tutelage. This would be the most
foolish thing which could be done.
It is ridiculous to suppose that VIC
could act in the manner Of those
people who say: the chicken must
not try to teach the hen: listen to
what your elders say, 90 as papa
and mamma tell you; for we are the
disciples of Comrade Lenin, and
know that, given like conditions, the
rule is valid which says: the younger
the better.
Room for MARKHAM Knowledge.
We know that the day must come
when we shall be relieved of our
posts, that we old Communists will
be followed by the coming genera
ton. It is incumbent on us to help
this younger generation. to transmit
to it the political experience gained
by the Party Turing long decades
It is the task Of the Party to prepare
the way Cor the coming generation,
to give it the opportunity of learn
ing, so that it may be able to rem

To the DAILY WORKER: Since
the appearance of the DAILY

it, and l like it very much. At last
the working class of this country

English Communist paper. went a

ers and poor farmers have their
friend, their leader and their inspira-
ton. Now it is up to the members
of the Workers Party and their SYM
pathizers to distribute it, to place
it into the hands of the masses. The
DAILY WORKER must be read by
hundreds Of thousands of workers
and exploited farmers. 1t is their
paper, and if they will not read it,
we will be blamed because we didn't
reach them with the DAILY WORK

If we work with the same zeal in the
distribution Of the DAILY WORKER
as we have worked in collecting

DAILY WORKER will soon become
great factor in the class struggle Of
this country.
Tho in complete agreement with
the position of the DAILY WORKER
| would like, however, to make one
suggestion as to its contents. II
think it would be very beneficial to
the paper and to its readers if the
DAILY WORKER would have
"Press Review" section. / don't
mean the kind of review that is
usually carried by the English papers,
which contains only long extracts,
quotations or reprints from the other
papers and magazines. The "Press
Review section should be lively one
and interesting and it is impossible
to make it so by using long quota
tions or reprints. What we have to
do in this section is to take funda-
mental ideas from editorials, or ar
ticles of more influential bourgeois
papers or of official organs of the
unions or political parties, if neces-
sary by quoting sentence or two,
or even a paragraph, and either criti-
cize them as briefly as possible or

Of view, if such editorials or articles
agree with our position on some par
ticular question. l did like the criti-
cism of the "New Leader" of New
York, which occurred in the DAILY

Comrade Minors criticism of "The

entirely too lengthy, too many un-
necessary words. You cannot make

German Mark May
Take Another Crazy
Fit Before Long
BY LOUIS P. LOCKNER.
(StaR Correspondent Of the Federated

BERLIN, April 3.-From a psy-
Geological point Of view. one of the
most curious phenomena in Germany
is the sterilization Of the mark. A
terrific drop is predicted, however,
by experts. Where four months ago
the least desired form of money in
Germany was the mark, while for
eign exchanges were at 4 premium,
the reverse is true today. People
actually prefer the rentenmark to
the British pound, the Dutch form,
the Swiss franc. Only the dc liar
enjoys equal favor with the renten-
mark.
How did this change come about +?
1t is purely a question Ct psychol-
ogy. The German people have been
psychological into believing that
sterilization has taken place. That's
all. Balance your budget and stop
the issuance of paper money" was
the answer given by practically all
foreign experts who iinkered with
Germany, when asked now stabiliza-
ton could I've effected.
Becoming Expert Mathematician.
But the budget has not been bal
anced and the presses have not
stopped turning out paper money.
The gap between income and expen.
lditure of the national government is
worse than at any time before the
fall of 1922. During February The
national treasury ran behind 1885,
100000 gold marks (about $780,
000). This is due to the fact that
the return from the new tax laws
is not as big as the government
hoped. The rich fellows are, as
usual, esca2ing some OF the tax
burdens. AS for paper money, while
on Nov. IS, just before the stabili-
cation began, 92,3S4,7z1, 900, oO0.-
100000 paper marks were in circu-
lation, there are now six times as
MANY, namely 5S7,S74, 526, 900, Co.,
100000, marks in circulation.
Richard Kuczynski. one of the
ablest economists in Germany, warns
that; "A stability that does not rest
upon sound state finances but draws
its chief sus,enance from emotion,
from the confidence Of peopic that
has grown weary thru terrible suf-
fering, cannot last lorg." Kuz-
cynski urges big foreign loan.

TRACHTENBERC'S
ROCHESTER TALK
/ MUCH APpLAUDED
Lectures on Communist
Movement in Europe

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April g.
Alexander Trachtenberg, who has
recently returned from travels thru
Soviet Russia and other parts Of
Europe where he made a careful
study Of the European labor and
Communist movements, delivered a
most instructive lecture on the "In-
ternational World Situation" The
speaker was greatly applauded.
The speaker gave special empha-
sis to the activities OIL the various
European Communist sections of the
Comintern. Of Russia, he said: II
left it from the back door but I
entered it from the front door, this
time welcomed by the representa-
}tives Of the working clas.,.'
Feel the Revolution.
Zone feels the revolution the mo-
ment he's there" continued the
speaker. "The working class is ac-
tually in power and you cannot help
feeling it everywhere.
Trachtenberg travelled extensive
~ thru Russia, visiting factories,
co-operatiyes and agricultural sec
tions of the country, gathering sta
tistics and studying the actual con-
ditions from that basis.
Tells Of German Communists.
Describing the revolutionary stu
alton in Germany, Trachtenberg
told of the activities Of the German
Communist Party and explained why
the party did not want to call for
an uprising In November last. One
Of the reasons given by the speaker
was the betrayal of the left social
democrats. 'In time of crisis" he
said, "they prove to have no back
bone They refused 70 fight the
fascist movement.
Comrade Trachtenberg also dis
cussed the situation in Poland,
Czecho-Slovakia and France. He
concluded the lecture by emphasizing
the necessity of American labor
building up the American labor
movement and spoke in favor of
the workers independent political
action.
In another lecture-this time to
the Workers Party membership and
sympathizers-he detailed the activ-
tiles of our movement. To prole-
tartan party members who partici-
pated in the discussion Trachtenberg
said that they had no right to criti-
cize the Communist Party from
without as long as they considered
themselves Communists.
He spoke in Binghamton and
Utica also.

X. Conclusion.


/ have not touched upon every
point of dispute which might arise
from Comrade Trotzky's article. His
article is one which is not easily for
gotten. In the old Bolshevist days
we should have placed every SEN
tence under the magnifying glass,
and not left one stone upon another,
as Bolshevism was accustomed to
treat wrong programmatic articles.
We regret that Comrade Trotzky
should have violated the unanimity
once arrived at by the unanimously
accepted resolution of the Central
Committee, and should Rave come
forward with such an article. This
article will be debated and re-dcbat-
ed everywhere.
A discussion mas begun all over
Russia. But everything has it's
good side. The whole Party. includ-
ing our Pctrograd organization, will
consider the questions raised in this
article. / hope that our organization
will give clear and definite reply
70 these questions.
The composition Of the Central
Committee Of our Party is we'll
known to you; you know that it is
the pick Of the Party, s3fted ouc 25
years ago. The whole Central Com
mittee is agreed now even more than
in Lenin's time, that Comrade
Trotzky is still committing a fundq.
mental political error, as he did at
the Tenth Party Congress-, when
Comrade Lenin was obliged to op-
rose him.
