Cne-E european manufacturers The European manufac-
turers could obtain cheap labor easily and at wage up
on which American labor could not survive So the
manufacturers of this country first restricted the loans
and credit to the farmers, forcing them to SELL and then
reduced the price produce which enabled them to
higher wage to their laborers Thus they could com
pete with the European markets, while farmers at
home were becoming poorer every day.
Under the Wilson administration VanderEp~and La

were refused access to it.
The bankers "club" that drew I'M this contract
was discussing the projects of importing cheap labor into
the country from Europe or China Public sentiment
was SO strong against cOOle" labor that the business
men hnay sent representatives to Europe to secure
cheap labor from the starvation centers This was con-

Interests were bankrupt So they issued and passed the
draft measures and sent thousands of men of the best
blood this country has seen Europe to defend the
gold of the American Interests.
Warren G. Harding upheld the same policies that
threw the American nation headong into the war; the
same interests which held the fortress in Wall Street
surrounded by every luxury and pleasure while the
thousands were weering in their blood in Europe to
support these Injuries
Harding was elected by the same interests They
knew he would support them In 1920 the election wear
the question Of exploitation was settled for another fo
years.
Let US take look at the situation of the country at
the time OF Hardngs election The imitation of currency
during the War caused the increase of prices on all po
ducts not controlled by the trusts So the BIG Business
interests OF the country discussed whether or not thew
should initiate the currency They were not as It Turned
out in favor of this method The issuing of money IS
very profitable to the bankers They had made billions
out OF the War IN this way and had inflated the currency
by several billions of dollars Now since the bankers did
not want the currency Debated they could try but one
other plan, and that was the contraction of credit
There were, according to our economists, two fields in
which they could contract currency one the field Of Rio
Business, and the other agriculture Since It did not
suit the Big Business interests to limit their credit the
natural result the choice of their field agriculture
Therefore, in their decision they were to cuta credit
by forcing all banks to restrict their loans to the farm

SITUATION MORE DANGEROUS TO GOVERNMENT

Letter by McAdoo to his campaign manager on
February II.
The capitalist must be in very desperate situa-

An expression endangers the foundations of the Re

The gravity of the situation can hardly be exagger-

The structure of government rocks upon it's very

Private monopoly gained control of the government!
The faith of the people in their government is

The security of Democratic institutions is mperiIed!
The UntedStates is not democracy today! It is not

The popular revolt will elect an nsurgent Third party
candidate!
The corruption of Washington casts off fumes of dis

The conditions in Washington are more dangerous to
government than Bolshevism ITSELF
And we affirm with gee that the ruling capitalist
class and it's government are indeed in greatest danger
They are in danger of completely losing the confidence of

The Great Political Crisis == BY oH

We are passing through of the deepest and moss
important political crisis of the United States The po
tcans and the press of the capitalists themselves are
forced to admit it. Indeed, not only do they admit the
Crisis but they proclaim it. they cry it out waing and
IN despair And to prove that this crisis is actually
present. and does not exist only in Radical desires we give
here few of the most important remarks of the poiti
clans and newspapers Of both big parties:
The people Of this country are profoundly shocked
Popular confidence in public is badly shaken All of
u.s. irrespective Of party to the people more or less
despatched. SOMETHING LIKE AN EXPLOSION
HAS OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY NEAR THE FOUN-
DAIlONS OF THE REPUBLIC."- Senator Pepper. Re
publican, in the Senate on February7
THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION CAN HARD
LY BE EXAGGERATED. IF THE CONFIDENCE OF
THE PEOPLE IN OUR GOVERNMENT IS TO BE
MAlNTAINED-nay, if it is to be deserved-aI officers
who have betrayed their trusts must be brought to the
bar Of the courts"
Senator Reed, Democrat in the Senate February 7.
mo SITUATION MORE HUMILIATING. MORE
DEMORALIZING, AND, TO SOME EXTENT. MORE
DISCOURAGING, HAS EVER BEEN HERETOFORE
for our consideration the consideration of those who
have gone before"
Senator Borah in the Senate on
February g.
"THE STRUCTURE OF OUR GOVERNMENT
ROCKS UPON IT'S FOUNDATIONS The only way to
restore to the government the confidence of the people
confidence so essential to it's perpetuty-s to follow ev-
cry guilty with the utmost rigor of the law and to
drive from office every who by connvance or supine
ness allowed this crime to be committed"
Senator Walsh, Democrat in the
Senate on February g.
What is going on in Washington is much more signi-
fcant and may become much more Ominous than any
thing which happens in meeting of Communists at
Madison Square Garden. IF 1T SHALL APPEAR THAT
THE faint OF CORRUPTION HAS DEEPLY PFNE-

The last surprise that has come out
of this unique school idea, and per-

came to the company last week in the
form of a letter from J. j. Shubert TO
Harry Jackman, the manager of the
company. In it Mr.. Shubert said that
he had heard of the song contest with
much interest and that, inasmuch as
the necessity had long appeared To the.

pleased to add a grand prize to be
bestowed at the end Of the season on
