This is an asset and not a liability.
Thanks to this, they are not yet firm

They are looking for action and

Latin-America have influence far be-
yond what their organized strength
would indicate. We must not allow
the invasion of Gompers to further
create the impression that there are
no anti-American imperiaHst forces in
North America.
The manifesto issued by the Work
ers (Communis) Party, and the mani
festo issued by the T. U. E. L. and
the Pan-American Anti-Imperialistic
League, are only the beginning of the
campaign for uniting the Communist
and left wing forces in North, Cen

strengthen them against American i'm

is big and important task, one in
which our party must play a major
part.

organizations they "mis-represented'
would be expelled. They would re-
main, suppose, providing they elect
ed delegates suitable to him and his
chief, Gompers.
One of the immediate reasons for
this attack upon the Mexican Com
munist Party was the kissing Of Com
pers and Morones by Mexican work
ers on the opening day Of the con
gress. The other immediate reason
was the complete victory Of the Com
munists over Morones' lieutenants in
the convention of the Agrarian League
of Communes Of the state Of Vera
Cruz. This convention, with 400 dele
gates representing the most power
full agrarian league in Mexico, endors-
ed the Communist Party, affiliated
with the Peasants International,
elected a Communist president, vice
president, and secretary, and a Com
munist sympathizer as treasurer.
This was a blow to the Morones-Tre-
vino-Rico group Of class collabora-
tors who had boasted that they put
this organization under yellow social
list leadership.

whole life to the liberation Of the un-
derdog. 1t may seem absurd to think
that GOmpers could be even consider
ed socialist or a radical anywhere.
He is little too old to adapt him
self to the changed environment he
finds in Mexico, however, he makes a
brave attempt, and the interpreters
give the socialist phraseology to his
speeches. Besides, it is under this
cloak that the counter-revolutionar
the world over do their most treach-
erous work.
Gompers and Hughes, hand in hand,
are penetrating Latin-America in the
interests Of American Imperialism.
Where the democratic labor wing can
not accomplish the job, then all the
forces of the army and the navy come
into play The most brilliant chap
ter in the history of the Pan-Annerican
Federation of Labor, says Gompers, is
the part they played in helping to
defeat the De La Huerta uprising. 1t
is frank admission that the pur-

is to assist American Imperialism to
defeat British Imperialism in Latin

domination.

THE PIOUS MARCOSSON

A Review Of the eater Lenin-What"
Articles in the Saturday Evening Post
BY JOSEPH KALAR.
THERE are several ways in which
capitalism exerts an anti-Bolshe-
vik influence on the masses. We
have, first Of all, the amusing and ut
terly impossible caricatures as dished
out by the newspapers to newspaper
intelligences, the secondhand infiu-
ence OF the artists who maintain that
under Communism individuality would
disappear, and lastly. the polite and
urban monstrosities executed in subtle
shades by the more intelligent run of
lackeys. The newspaper caricatures
are not usually effective, except on
very immature and impressionable
minds. To the intelligent mind, even
tho it may be serving capitalism
against Communism, such mental in
ventions are exceedingly humorous.
The artists exert an influence only
among their own set-for 1t is up to
them to fear the displacement of a

Communism is represented as a hope
less one-even tho the case may be
a justifable one. In this way, the
great middle class Of boobery and
bourgeois feel that Communism is i'm
possible. To one with a halfway
knowledge of capitalistic propaganda,
the reason is plainly seen for this
smearing of falsehood with sweet
ness satisfying to the mediocre men
tai palate. Marcosson evidently has
hard time to suppress his feelings
Of sympathy, if artificial, but the
knowledge that the Curtis Publishing
company is one Of the most reaction
airy of forces in the United States,
with far-reaching effect on the mid
die mass, is sufficient to curb any
sympathetic break.
The Poor BoobI
Marcosson is still of the opinion
that Communism and Bolshevism are
upheld by fanatics Of a very magma
tive mental strain, who cannot see
the impractibility OF a Communist
state. To one who has studied Marx
ism as applied by the Communists,
this is absurd. There is nothing what
soever romantic or adventuristic about !

of reality. To The Marcosson intel
lects, we advise q study Of Commun-
istic principles, say, study based on
1.-THE A. B. c. Of Communism" Such |
a study should prove profitable.
The nature of Marcosson's intellect
can be grasped from this excerpt from
his first article:
Far more damning than all this is
the crusade against God. because Sow
let propaganda respects neither deity
nor man. The youth of Russia is be-
ing reared on the idea that there is no
creed but a perverted Communism.

grace Of individual as well as nation,

Is this undermining of what might be

And again, in the same article, he
says:

Southeastern Express Com

It is an almost invariable rule that the
sender is in a hurry for 1t to reach
destination and wishes 1t to arrive in

BY building a reputation for the
prompt and careful handling OF ship

zee has acquired a large clientele Of
shippers who consign articles to way
points between Indianapolis and Louis

eastern section of the country.
The Southeastern Express serves
the territory that is reached by the
Interstate Public Service electric lines
out Of indianapolis to Louisville. There
it connects with the Southern Rail
way which carries shipments into the
Southeast and the far South.
Through special arrangement. the
Southeastern transfers shipments to
other express companies operating in
territory it's lines do not reach, as
suring the quick delivery Of express
consigned to any point.
The company's offices in Indianapo

FILING SYSTEMS
IN GREAT DEMAND
Preference for Steel Cabinets
Evidenced in Trade,

AS improved methods OF transact
ing business are discovered, new
ideas must be adopted by the progress
i've business man who would keep
pace with the trend Of the times. and
his filing systems must be made to
conform TO up-to-date practices.
This fact. according to r. c. Hitler
of the Hitler Onice Supply Com
pany. 90 S. Pennsylvania St. is re
sponsible in a measure for the in
creased demand FOR the newer forms
Of filing systems.
The Hitler company handles both
steel and wood file cabinets of the
most modern styles, The largest num-
Der OF orders being received now, Mr.
Hitler says. are for steel cabinets.
He Is authority for the statement
that the purchase OF a steel cabinet
Is good business economy, as the DIFF
ference in the original purchase price
is more than offset by the added years
Of service.
Even In small offices and stores
steel cabinet is an economical pur-
chase, according to Mr.. Hitler. And
the small business today must keep
just as complete end efficient records
of its business transactions as the
largest business.
