The Passing of Pittsburgh Plus

because Of the extra profits they were
making there and because of the pro-
lection Pittsburgh Plus afforded to
their undertakings in the East.
Equilibrium could not be main
tanned on that basis, however. The
West grew up. It's power multiplied.
The Importance of its manufactures
steadily increased. 1t too began to
have a surplus Of commodities, for ex-
port to the East and to foreign coun-
tries-and it could not afford to toll
crate discriminatory charges against
its output, if it was to meet the COM
petition of the general market. An
aggressive local capitalism had sprung
up, with interests distinct from those
Of the absentee investors. The local
capitalists resented the subordination
of Western initiative to the economic
imperialism Of the East. Circum-
stances like the continued domination
of the state of California by the South
ern Pacific Railroad, united native
capitalists with ranchers and farmers

empire was due to the existence Of
vast, rich and undeveloped lands lying
within its own borders. This territory
was not long allowed to remain I'M
productive. Hardy pioneers, starting
out over the mountains, conquered the
Indians and wild beasts, felIed the for
ests, planted the fields, and overcame
innumerable obstacles in preparing
the way for the hosts Of settlers who
were to follow. The story of "the
winning Of the west is a great epic
Of human courage, resourcefulness
and indomitable will. But the early
settlers possessed only their strength
and skill; they had no capital, and as
a consequence they were soon paying
interest to the merchants and money
lenders of the East.
The attitude of the East toward the
West was much the same as that Of
Great Britain toward the American
Colonies in the pre-Revolutionary War
days. 1t was dominated by single,
guiding principle, and that was to get

as much out Of the newly-opened-up
territory as possible. The welfare of
the West was never considered. 1t
was thought of only as an inexhausti-
BILE, exclusive market which should
and must pay tribute to the "home-
land" For long time, the Eastern
capitalists consciously and deliber-
ately retarded the development Of the
West. They objected to the appor-
tionment of public lands in the West;
they have steadfastly opposed the de-
velopment of Western waterways.
The famous Aaron Burr Conspiracy
was based on Kentucky's fear that the
East would prevent the river settle
ments from gaining the mouth Of the
Mississippi and the markets opened
there. The Whiskey Rebellion was a
protest of trans-mountain grain grow
ers against the excise tax with which
the East was burdening their toll.
AS capital began to accumulate in the
East, the irresistible call of the
higher rate of profit led the Eastern
capitalists to invest more and more
of their surplus out West; the con-
ception of imperial purpose was there
fore modernized. This period CORE
sponded with the rise of the Republi-
can Party, the party Of expansion.
Rails were laid everywhere. Indus
tries were opened up. New cities were
built. And at every stage of the pro
cess the Federal Government, owned
body and soul by the Eastern money
power, defended the imperial interests
of the exporters of capital. Subsidies,
scandalous grants of Western lands to
the railroads, discriminatory legisla-
ton and other abuses became fixed in
practice.
Periodically, the West revolted
against the investment-holding sea-
board; the revolts found expression in
the granger movements, the soft
money agitation, the free silver cam
paign and, to large extent, in popu-
ism.
Iron and steel are the backbone OF
modern industry, and steel was now a
basic factor determining the form Of
export of capital to the west. Pitts
burgh Plus came into its own, as a
levy on Western production. The bic
security holders with interests in the
Western states were quite satisfied tc
pay a premium on steel for the West

Not being the outgrowth of actual
colonial exploitation, the national lib
Grafton" movement Of the West ex-
presses itself in the struggle of local
capitalism for equal competitive OPP
portunity inside the circle of Ameri-
can economic life. This is the basis
for the new radicahsm" of the West
1T is the secret of the resurgence of
Ia militant movement of the lower
middle class in country where Big
Business long ago consolidated itself
in power over the wreck of a van
quished petty bourgeoisie. We often
refer to LaFollette as the spokesman
Of the middle class, but it is not al
ways appreciated that the middle class
element actively supporting him are
almost exclusively Western. Aside
from the condition of the farmers, La
Follettism has for its principle back
ground the insurgent attitude of ma
tive Western capitalism toward the
East. LaFollette's appeal to the
workers is merely for the purpose Of
exploiting the political power of the
masses in the interests Of the rich
middle class.
There has been another struggle be-
tween West and East-in the field Of
large-scale industry. This is really a
phase of the historical rise of Ameri-
can banking capital; the struggle of
finance capital against Industrial CAPT.
tai in the United States became a
struggle on the part of Wall Street to
complete its hegemony over the new
West. That the struggle is already
virtually won is shown by the recent
absorption of Western shipping in
terests and by the gradual lapse under
banking control of the Armour, Nor
ris and Wilson packing business, rep
resenting the last important strong
hold Of Independent capital in the
West.
The financial kings of the East now
have tremendous stake in the West.
Theirs is the dominant influence
there, politically as well as economic
ally. Thus the same individuals con-
troll both East and West. But in a
different measure. It is a mistake to
think OF modern American monopolis-
tic capitalism as single, perfectly
co-oridnated mechanism. fitting neatly

Conserving ON. oil

This new federal oil conservation board,
L just appointed by the president has
ahead Of il one Of the biggest and one Of
the hardest Jobs confronting any commits
sion in the government service.
II is because oil is something that
Nature takes millions of years 20 pro-
duce. and because even our generous sup
ply will last but generation or two lon-
ger az the rate il is now being used.
II is big because the defense OF the
country at present depends upon the OIL
supply. and because navy OF oil burn
ers can sail rings around navy OF coal
burners, and AN air fleet without oil Is
as good as no fleet at all.
The job will be hard because Il will
bring the government into conflict with
an industry that has found n mountain of
gold at the end of the rainbow, and It will
be hard TO curb the taste for wealth Of
those who have made millions overnight
and others who want 10 make millions the
same quick way.
It will be hard 10 make oil men see that
the country's good is ahead of their good,
that keeping oil in the United States
against the day when il is needed by
Americans is better than selling Il abroad
today at profits that are fabulous.
For his prompt action in initiating such
a commission, TO consist at the start OF
Secretaries Work, Hoover, Weeks and

mendation of the country, Before the
Job is done, he and his oil commission Will

A 1.-THE for the Air Service

MO BRANCH Of the national defense Is
~ making such rapid strides at present
as is the air service. The science Of avia-
ton, stimulated by needs during the world
war, made almost unbelievable strides.
Since the war aviation experts, both engi-
neers and designers, have kept up that
pace.
Consider some of these outstanding
feats:
Last week an army aviator, speeding
along at 80 miles per hour, coupled his
plane in mid-air at Scott field with an
army dirigible, stopped his engine, rested.
started his motor again and took off again
at an elevation Of 1900 feet.
Flyers in planes have crossed the Allan
tic, have circled the globe. have flown
from the Atlantic TO the Pacific between
dawn and dusk A giant dirigibe has
flown from coast TO coast. and back again,
weatheing storms. soaring over moun-
tains. travelling over land and sea at ease
in any weather,
Government aviation authorities say
that with S20,000000 year for expert
mental work and for the development OF
the science of flying they can make the
air service the most powerful branch OF
the country's national defense.
That sum is less than a tithe of what
is spent on the army or on the navy. The
air service should have the money il needs
Not only does il promise big returns in
terms of safety from foreign enemies, but
it may mean the predominance in the
United States of new industry, which in
time may become as great as any the
world has seen, save only agriculture.

Will She Spank?

4 ENCOURAGEMENT is made in the house
"A of commons that Great Britain
warns Serbia. Bulgaria and Albania that
they must take steps to prevent the spread
ing of the Albanian insurection, says
cablegram.
Sounds as if Great Britain were trying
to function dis the league of nations. What
is in her warning? What will she do if her
warning is scorned? Some unruly children
will persist in playing with matches until
spanked. The Balkans are such, and they
can start a world conflagration.
