BERLIN, June 1S.-IThe double
dealing tactics played by monarchist
Germany and England in their elabor-
ate preparations for the world war are
revealed by documents to be published
on the 25th Of this month in the four.
teenth volume Of official German Fore.
ign Office documents.
Territory and trade as factors In
deciding the alignment of the govern
ments of Europe in the struggle were
being weighed as far back as 1898, cor
respondence between Kaiser Wilhelm
and Count Won Bulow, then Foreign
Minister, shows.
Kaiser Guessed Wrong.
Asiatic rivalry between England and
Czarist Russia gave the emperor and
Won Bulow assurance that England,
even if rebuffed by Germany, would
never form an alliance with France
as long as France was allied with
Russia.
Feeling safe from English aggression.
Germany considered herself free to re-
ject suggestions of an Anglo-German
alliance, put forward by Joseph Cham
berlain, colonial minister.
A communication from Wilhelm -
Bulow, dated April 10, 1898, reads;
WiIhelm's Note.
"An honest understanding between
England and France would in any
event signify the end of the Russian
French union. Russia would be sure
to notice England's friendly attitude
to Germany"
Bulow appended the following noted
THAT does not matter, provided the
English cannot prove to the Russians
nor the Russians to the English that
we played double game"

THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON
LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS

Brother O'Flaherty frequently makes
some pretty good shots | know sew
eral noncom's who buy the paper for
his filings. Give us more of him. Who
ever A. v. F. may be, can't you get a
livelier bird from the Liberator
clique? That rubric should be newsy
and principally interesting. And not
necessarily lone hand game, either.
1t would be extremely interesting to
get the statistics on how many readers

Reply-We Are chastened.
Just as the editors of the DAILY
WORKER were getting all pulled VI
with pride, because of the praise given
our paper, along comes an anonymous
comrade with letter of harsh criti
cism. The DAILY WORKER, says he
is high-brow. 1t does not balance its
news. 1t hasn't got enough human in
terest stuff" It has no real foreign
news like HumanIte or Rote Fahne
It's writer's are mostly long-winded and
somewhat stupid-all except Tom
O'Flaherty And above all, why not
more letters from the workers, de.
scribing their shops, industries, ETC.
he asks.
We are humble and chastened after
reading this letter. Our news is UNI
balanced, doubtless; we are afflicted
with Communist squint that makes
st. Paul outweigh all other news until
June 18th. Our foreign news comes
to a great degree from Humanite and
Rote Fahne, but maybe it suffers in
translation. And we all admit-espe
cially when talking to members of the
Irish Federation-that O'Flaherty is
the only genius in the office. We admit
all our defects. We boast no more
until next week.
But the criticism that cuts us to the
quick, is that the workers do not
write enough letters to the DAILY
WORKER. All, now, that strikes
homel Our real editors, the readers
in the shops and factories, are not on
the job enough. We pass this on to
those responsible, with the repeated
request-take your part in editing
your paper Send in your news, your
opinions, your criticisms. Help to edit

Russia Glad Crook
Millerand is Out;
Dubious of Herriot

MOSCOW, June 1S.-Altho Russia
is rejoicing over the downfall of the
Millerand-P oincare regime in France,
most of the officials do not expect
much of the new Doumergue-Herriot
government. The big capitalists who
backed the Catholic Millerand are still
strong enough to prevent any great
change in the republics foreign policy
under the Protestant president.
Editor Steklov writes in the Izvestia
that the Herriot party has never de-
clared itself Socialist nor become a
party of workers and peasants against
the bourgeoisie, and that the left
bloc" has no program which could be
offered the masses to bring a fight
against reaction. Steklov denounced
Millerand as one of the most dishon-
est characters in France, and the
nneanest renegade in the world-one
who would betray any party.

large shipments Of Donetz coal to the
Near Eastern ports, where Russian
coal is successfully competing with the

.SWIFTS HIDE
HUGE PROFITS
OF EXPLOITING
Deny Farmers Give
Excess Capital
By LELAND oLDs.

(Fedefateu FreSS INDUSTRIAL Euirors)
Swift & Co., the giant meat-packing
and food trust which has piled up
profits Of over $25O,0OO,OO0 in less
than a generation, is all het up over
the Federated Press statement that
excessive profits have been made at
the expense of farmers and consum-
ers. The F. P. assertion that the true
magnitude Of Swift's profits has been
concealed by financial manipulation
stirred this big corporation to reply
in letter asserting that the current
s per cent dividends on $3.50, 100000
capital stock represent return Of
only little over 6 per cent on the
stockholders actual investment of
over S21S,OO0,O0O.
investor Profits Bring Excess.
This letter reveals how capitaliza-
ton Of enormous profits is used to
blind the public to the current rate
of profit The actual cash put into
the business by the owners, accord
ing to the federal trade commission,
is not $4,000, 900 but somewhat less
than SS6,233, 900. The remainder is
largely the capitalization of profits in
excess Of reasonable dividends. This
means that the stockholders annual
dividend is not 6 per cent, but IA per
cent, and his average profit since 1896
has been at the rate of more than II
per cent. To capitalize profits means
to earn excessive profits and put them
in the business so they will them
selves earn more profits.
From an original investment OF
100000 in 1885," says the federal
trade commission report on the meat
packing industry presented to Presi-
dent Wilson in 1919, Swift & Co. has
grown in 3S years to position where
the stockholders equity is now valued
at $234,576, 900, and more than half of
this increase taken at $130,092,OOO
has come from profits lover and above
reasonable dividends) invested in the
business, and S30,746,000 by reason Of
an appraisal of the property account
in the fiscal year 1918"
Sf2s, 900, 900 from Exploitation.
Brought up to date, this means that
Of the claimed 1913, 100000 investment
belonging to stockholders, the owners
have contributed not more than $780,
233 900 in cash. The remaining $685.
100000 represents forced contribu-
ton by farmers and consumers.
Federal trade commission figures
show that net profits to stockholders
-s<nee-1sae- have -totaled $251.721,10
or nearly three times the entire cash
investment Of the owners.
The character of this company's ex-
ploitation of the country during emer-
gency is revealed in the unexampled
profits of the two years America was
at war. Net profits for 1917 were
S44,65O, 900, and for 1918 $44,364,00O,
averaging more than four times pre-
war profits. Swift was the most
shameless of the packer war profit
GERS. These war profits represented
an annual return of about 30 per cent
on the entire net worth of the COM
pany and of nearly so per cent on the
cash investment of the stockholders.
Altho the big packers could not re-
flute these federal trade commission
figures, they had power enough over
appropriations made by the senate to
force the commission to discharge the
expert who made the investigation.

Herriot last year visited Russia
and arranged for soviet partici-
patton in the Lyons fair.
What this means for all Europe can
be judged from the note almost of ter
ror prevailing in the Polish and
Roumanian parliaments. They see
their large military subsidies cut off;
they begin to fear that the new French
government will deem Russia more
important than Poland or Roumania.
See Understanding With Russia.
A France returning to the old policy
OF understanding with Russia,-that is
what these little nations trained in the
devious ways of European diplomacy
see on the horizon.
A sharp note sent by Chicherin to
the Polish government regarding per-
secution of the Russian religion, has
caused a futter in Warsaw. It is
amusing to see a Communist govern
ment rushing to the defense of relig-
ion, but the protest concerns viola
ton of the Riga treaty guaranteeing
freedom to the small nationalities in
Poland. At present the village
churches, in villages of White Rus
SLAMS and Ukrainians, are being
forcibly taken from the Greek church
and given to the Roman Catholic
Germany Cans Red Raider.
Meantime Germany, where some
misguided reactionaries so far got
control of police powers as to raid
the Russian trade legation on the day
before the German elections-Ger-
many has had to make amends by
apologizing and firing the chief of
police who did the job. Time was
when Russian delegations were raid
ed by anyone-in New York or else
where. Now these affairs lead to
serious complications for the state in
which they occur. The German cleo
tons may stimulate French interest
in friendly Russian relations.
Anti-Russian Japs Lose.
Across Asia, Japan has thrown out
the military party which opposed
Russia, and put in the business mems
group which desires Siberian trade.
Prospects for speedy agreements have
never looked better China has signed
an agreement recognizing Russia.
Anglo-Russian negotiations seem to
be proceeding in business like way
in London.
In all these directions, Russia will
consult her own interests. In spite of
hutterings in the diplomatic centers of
Europe, it can be predicted she will
make no alliance with any other gov
ernments as long as she is ruled by
Communists and they are not. But
she may throw her trade in one direc-
ton or another, where she receives
the greatest advantages.
Old Man Hughes Behind Times.
And this is just the moment which
Secretary Hughes seized to send a
futile note to China, warning her that
an agreement. with Russia will be con-
sidered an unfriendly act. Hughes
was ignored.
The general tendency in Russia in
foreign affairs is to swing from the
old interest and admiration for Amer
lea, and to base, plans on Europe and
Asia.

The Socialists, tho numeri-
cally the strongest party next to
the Nationalist, figure largely
negatively. One reason is the
disunion within their own ranks.
The older Warehouses; like Scheide-
mann, Noske, Ebert, and Wells would
gladly go with the bourgeois parties
of the middle, but the more radical
element in their party which for the
first time makes its appearance in
the reichstag is opposed to coalition.
Communists United For Action.
The Communists have said little to
indicate their tactics. In public they
can say little enough, for their organs
have again been suppressed. 1t is safe
to predict that body Of 81 men and
women, welded in the closest-knit or
ganization of any of the parliamentary
groups, will be able to follow an OBJ
structionist policy that will simply
compel concessions.
Ludendorff a "comrade."
General Ludendorff has turned
"comrade." His party has suddenly
decided to give up the name of Peo-
pies Freedom party and call itself
National Socialist party. Comrade
Ludendorff has about as much to do
with socialism as have Herriot's
Radical Socialists" in France.
The royalists are planning frequent
demonstrations. They seem to be part
of well-laid propaganda for monarch
ism disguised as patriotism. In Bay-
aria it has been said that Prussia
would be captured for monarchists in
this way.
Socialists for Dawes Plan.
To clarity the issues, the Socialist
party demands popular referendum
on the Dawes report. They hope all
democratic and liberia elements will
vote in favor, while the reactionaries
will vote no. In tbs way they expect
test on republicanism and monarch
ism.
The Communists say they are not
interested il plebiscites of this sort.
They believe a workers congress
should be called to establish a united
front against the bourgeoisie.
