A Year of Dividends

Talk Of wage-decreases is again in the air.
The employers and their. expensive economists
are preparing the country for new wage cut
ting campaign. That this drive has already as
sumed considerable momentum is evident from
the findings of official government surveys
which indicate very clearly that the wage ten
dency in the past few months has been down
ward.
Since one of the arguments that the bosses
will employ for their wage-slashing plan will
be poverty an examination of the conditions of
the capitalists in the last year will be most
appropriate.
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York the net profits in great number of
the countrys important industries were bigger
in 1928 than in any other year since the war.
The annual reports of manufacturing merchan-
dising, railroad, and public utility corporations
bear out the findings of the Government in
vestigators.
Furthermore, an eminent financial student
has also pointed out that in 1928 at least 445
concerns either declared dividends for the first
time, resumed the payment of dividends, in
creased the amount of dividends paid, or paid
out extra stock or cash allowances.
Not single month passed without some cor
poration taking action of this kind towards
dividend payment. The average number Of
companies acting in this direction every month
was 81. In December there were ~ Sucn cases.
The United States Steel Corporation was a
notable example Of this mellon-cutting mania.
These facts show that the cry of poverty
about to be raised by the employing class is a
plain falsehood. More than that These facts
establish that the new attempt to slash wages
to the bone will be launched only to guarantee
the continuation of these giant profits.
1t is an iron law under capitalism that the
fabulous dividends of the bosses invariably
translate themselves into low wages and misery
for the workers

The chaos prevailing in the ranks of the
Republican and Democratic parties is far be-
yond the comprehension of the regular" edit
oTial observers. Perhaps at no time before in
the history of our country have the official
stage managers of our capitalist political dramas
been in such nervous state of mind. They
are running about from coast to coast, looking
for someone who might be sold to the people
as pure of heart.
The Teapot scandal has raised particular
havoc with the presidential timber of the Demo-
cratic party. For the Republicans there has
never been any serious question as to the nomi-
nation of Coolidge. The Democrats, however,
are up against it, since McAdoo has been put
put of business
One of tbs dark horses about to be trotted
but in the Democratic stable is Mr.. John W..
Davis. AS far as we are concerned We would
not put a cent on his nose in the coming presi-
Dental race. Apparently this gentleman is
black enough for the owners of the Democratic
party to make him a worthwhile dark horse
At this time when the country is somewhat
agitated, to say the least, over the brazen man
ner in which the big interests have been COB
,ling up our national resources, it would be most
fitting to drop few remarks about the quail
hcations of this new Messiah from the Guggen-
helm Barony of West Virginia. There could
be chosen no better president to serve big inter
lists than this Mr.. Davis. Coolidge himself
would have hard time keeping up Win tne
services that Mr.. Davis could render to Wall
Street This Democratic white hope has been
employed as counsel for the big business inter-
ests for many years. Among his most esteemed
clients have been j. P. Morgan & Co., the Con-
soidation Coal Co.. the Associated Press, and
the big rubber interests of the country.
Applying the yard stick used by the Teapot
politicians we would say that Davis is eminent
" qualified to serve as president for the en-
Dloying class. But we would like to draw the
attention of the workers and farmers to the
tragic condition in which the donkey Democrats

The Three MternationaLs

Tho in existence only half decade, the Com
munist international has already stamped an
indeble imprint on the course of the historical
development of society-the course OF the class
conflicts.
The First international was the international
Of education. The First international laid the
theoretical foundation and under the leadership
of Karl Marx developed the philosophy OF ac-
ton for the subsequent international move
ments Of the working class of the world.
The Second international was the Inter-
national Of organization. The Second Inter
national gave rise to the highly organized
political and economic associations of national
working class movements. This international
marked the development of the working class
movements from the dominantly propagandistic,
educational stage to the positively, strong or
ganizational stage. During this period educa-
ton was being translated into organization and
action but in the main the action were circum-
scribed by the very limits of organizational
perfection attained by the Second international
principally the confines of the national boun-
diaries. The Second International succeeded in
developing powerful national parties of the
workers, parties capable of and sometimes
engaged in mighty class actions within their
respective countries. But this association did
not attain the stage of firm international organ
ization Of the workers.
The Third (Communist) international was the
first attempt at decisive international revolu-
tionary action of the worlds oppressed. The
Third International is the international of &C
ton. The Third international grew out of the
imperiaist world war-during period when the
world was in the midst of the most violent &C
ton. In the Third international we have crys-
tallized the education of scientific Marxism, the
organization of the working class beyond the
national lines and along the lines of inter-
lrationalsnn and the international revolutionary
action of the working class.
On this Wednesday, March 5, 1924, the Fifth
Anniversary of the Communist international,
voices of aspiring workers heard in all lands
are proclaiming:
Hail the Communist International! Hail the
World Social Revolution! Hail the victory OF
the Workers and Farmers"

The Hungarian ReceiUerShip

Step by step American capitalists are ex-
tending their sway over the destinies of the
war-vanquished and less developed countries.
The latest prize to fall into the lap of our
financial overlords is Hungary. The Magyar
country, bled to death by the reactionary
Horthy dynasty, has accepted the program of
the League of Nations for its reconstruction
a financial receivership.
w. P. G.. Harding who, as director of the
Federal Reserve Board, imposed such high in
terest rates and served the big interests so
shamefacedly that not even Coolidge dared
recommend him for re-appointment, has been
appointed the Commissioner General. 1t is sig
nificant to note that it was American capital
as represented by the Hoover Relief Admins
tration that engineered the establishment of
the bloodthirsty Horthy regime and now it is
again American capital which is running to the
rescue of the same black bands of reaction.
AS a matter of fact, the Hungarian royal
clique expressly declared its preference for an
American receiver on the ground, among other
reasons that it could influence American CAPT
talists most easily.
Without doubt the coronation of Mr. Hard
ing will be followed by the floating Of huge
loan in America to give new breath of life
to the present tyrants crushing the Hungarian
working masses. Already, there is talking of
$50 900, 900 loan of which at least $40, 000-
600 is to be foated in the United States. The
conditions for such loan would be the same
as those given Austria when it was declared
bankrupt. Austria is today coolie colony of
the international fnanciers amongst whom the
American banking magnates reign with UNI
disputed supremacy.
This Hungarian receivership marks another
positive advance in the development of Euro
pean policy for our ruling class. Again, the
Reconstruction" of Europe along the lines
most beneficial to the interests of our growing
impefialist clique is in the cynosure of politics
and business.
! Soon Hungary's internal class conflicts will
become the concern of the American bankers
and manufacturers more urgently than ever
before. Bonds speak louder than abstract
ideals and such hackneyed formulas as "self-
determination" with our capitalists. And what
concerns our bankers and industrialsts con.
Germs our government. What concerns oui
government unavoidably involves the fate ano
welfare of the farming and working masses Of
our country. Bonds must be protected against
striking Hungarian workers. American work
ingmen and farmers will be sent to the plains
of Hungary to defend these bonds bringing
huge interest to our exploiters.
The Hungarian receivership will sow the
seeds of new imperialist wars 1t will be the
toiing masses Of the country that will pay in
blood, with their lives, for the imperialist ven
lures Of our capitalists.

the key to the greatest phenomenon
of our time-the Russian revolution.
Russia. the most autocratic coun-
try on the face Of the globe, with
its millions kept n ignorance and
subsection, who could ever imagine
that these Russian workers and
peasants would undertake this ire
mendous task and, furthermore,
bring it to success. Many times
was putting this question to my
self and could not find an answer.
But now, after reading a few in
stallments of "A Week." I realizd
the great power which was hidden
in the hearts Of the Russian masses
and made itself felt in the time Of
the revolution.
Martuinov the AristOcrat.
Let US take, for instance, Mar
tuinov. Raised in an aristocratic
environment, all his associations and
connections were with the class
which received one blow after an
other from the revolution. A man
whose sweetheart whom he loved
with such ardor, belonged to that
class. Yet, regardless of all that,
he served the cause Of the revolu-
ton honestly and faithfully. He
gave up all his previous friends, his
parents, his sweetheart. But in spite
Of the high idealism and self sac
rifce of the Martuinovs the Russian
revolution could not be brought to a
success by them. In my estimation
two different elements were neces-
sary for success.
After all the Martuinovs are prod
ucts Of the old world. They have
been educated in the old schools and
have been psychologically connected
with the old order and its institu.
tions. True, they have accepted the
dogmas and teachings Of commun'
ism, but to them, the revolution was
an. ideal, a beautiful dream, not a
reality, and when the revolution
broke out they didn't have the cour-
age to tear down and destroy the
old social order with it's institutions

The only thing they did have at the
outbreak Of the revolution was ha-
tired in their hearts for the hundreds
of years of suffering and misery and
to the Klimins and Stalmakhovs the
revolution was not beautiful

in time Robeiko actually sat up
in bed, and lifted his head from
the pillow. She began telling him
all that she had heard from the
talk OF the Communists at the
Saturdaying Of how the wood-get-
ting was progressing. And she
felt, from his animation, how he
valued and was delighted at the
news.
Robeiko seemed to her even clev-
erer than Martuinov, whom she
thought very clever, because she
could understand nothing Of his
explanations. She saw his simple,
fearless waiting for death, and
she felt that if she did not be-
lieve in the immortality Of the
soul she could not wait for death
as calmly as he. -.
Late in the evening, Lisa went
of to her room. When she said
goodbye, Robeiko asked her to
visit him often.
She was walked by the noise of
boots and loud talk, sounding in
the corridor. There was deep blue
darkness out of doors and in the
room.
Lisa became anxious at once. On
account Of the heavy door, she
could not make out words, but
heard rough voices and the tramp
ling Of many feet. She put her
boots on with trembling hands.
She went TO the door and opened it
quietly, little way. -. She saw
in the passage and in the kitchen
peasants Of some kind in soldiers
great coats, and short Eur coats.
Some Of them had guns in their
hands, others, axes and pixies.
Among these er-beaten
rough faces, dirty and unshaved,
her eyes instantly perceived three
persons whom she knew.

where he had spent his youth

the young birch wood, under the
cool canopy Of the starry night,

membered some young girl, the
brown school dress she wore, her
gestures and smiles. But he
could not remember her name i. !.
Elena was it? Or Olga?
From time to time came fits Of
coughing, when his eyes swan and
ideas and images fed away.
Coughing tired him, and he lay
with closed eyes, and then, mn
perceptibly, began to think again.

from behind the closed doors, whis-
pers came to Robeiko's hearing,
some sort Of muttered conversa-
ton, and he heard them without
understanding them. Suddenly
there was knock at. the door and
a timorous woman's voice asked:
"Comrade Robeiko, can 1 come
int"
"Come in" he replied, and saw
in the doorway the figure Of a
woman. It was Lisa Gratcheva.

Robeiko looked at the line of
light that fell thru the half-open
door from the passage. Presently
this girl would go away, and it
would be dark in the room and he
would be alone again. From these
thoughts, Robeiko learnt how lone
ly he was. :. Probably he would
die soon: Of course he did not want
anything; milk would not do him
any good, but he did not want to
be alone again.
