LaFoIIette Idea Antiouated.

To the DAILY WORKER: Forty.
five years ago I was in college. The
professor in political economy was a
progressive" For the subject of an
Grafton for a college entertainment
he gave me 1.-THE Encroachments of
Monopoly" He gave me the New
York address of the "Anti-Monopoly
League" from which 1 could get data.
My Grafton was well received, vigor-
ously applauded and got favorable
comment by the town papers. Its
burden was; Crush monopoly, extend
competition, prevent special privilege,
give all business, big and little an
equal chance. In other words the
progressivism of that time, As years
ago, was exactly the same that is now

what the socialists are striving for
is not government of good capital

all workers"
How anyone but hypocrite can
write that and then face about and
not practice what he breaches, is be-
yond me.
Either Hillquit did not mean what
he wrote or he has betrayed the work
ing class by his surrender to good
government" in the guise of LaFol

A demand is being launched for in

of the prominent industrial and financ-

publican money drive are: e. T.

tspsoIaI to The DaIIy wOrkerl

SHANGHAI, China, Oct. g.
The Manchurian forces are con-
tinuing their fierce assaults on
the ChihIian sector. An intense
drive has been launched against
the Peking army's position at
Shankaikwan. Manchurian air.
planes are infIicting heavy losses
on their enemy lines. Several
troop trains have been bombed
successfully.
The effect of the severe de-
feat met by the Wei-Pu Flu
forces at Jehol has been de-
moralizing to the Chekiang
army. The loss of ten thousand
men may be the undoing of the
Picking defense and bring about
an end of hostilities much
sooner than many expect.
At this moment the foreign powers
ARE extremely disturbed over the
brilliant stroke of Soviet diplomacy in
China. The imperialist groups are
losing out with the Picking as well
as the Chang sympathizers. The
iManchurian war lord has imprisoned
several whites" who were in the
management Of the Eastern Chinese
railway. The white" official Os-
tromov and three of his colleagues
are now behind the bars.
The arrangement between Chang
and the Soviets as to the railway is
especially important. First of all the
imperialist interests have been in
terested in keeping it out Of Soviet
hands in order to enable them to
utilize the lines as base for hos
tilities against the Communist govern
ment. Besides, the leading powers are
financially interested in the railway.
According to the Isvestia the situa-
ton sums itself up as follows: "The
agreement is a new victory for Soviet
diplomacy, a new victory over entente
diplomacy, a new failure Of entente
imperialism and defeat of the i'm
perialist powers in China"
