had only theoretical grounds for my
belief, but now the theory is tested
and in some degree proved correct.
You remember the state of affairs in
1919. Since then our agriculture has
attained 75 per cent OF its pre.war
production. Industry is back to 40
per cent, and some branches Of It,
like Grozny oil, have reached 100 per
cent. Baku oil is at so per cent pre-
war production. In Donetz we are
producing more coal than we can use.
In every branch we can point to
actual progress. But now, as in 1919,
| believe that by means of foreign
help, thru a long term loan and the
development Of concessions, It would
be possible Immediately to accelerate
the process Of recovery, which has
visibly begun. The process, which
may take a quarter Of a century,
might with foreign help be accom-.
plished in less than ten years.
Even II left TO our own resources,
I have no doubt about the ultimate
result assuming only that we are not
hampered by wars and blockades and
that foreign trade continues so that
we can get spare parts for our fac
tories. etc. And see no reason to
fear these possibilities will be taker
from U.s."

NEW YORK, June 25.--A touch Of
military air was given to the curtain
raising of the democratic convention
by an especially arranged parade OF
New Yorks proudest policemen, street
cleaners and firemen. Bluejackets,
armed national guard men, marines
and sailors from the United States
battleship Colorado joined in the par
ade up the Avenue of Gold" Fifth
Avenue. @s
Many Divisions.
The lines are being fast dram for
a battle in the gigantic arena, Madi.
son Square Garden. At least a half
dozen groups-angry and in fighting
mood and speaking for the de-
mocratic machine from wide separat-
ed sections of the country are ready
to go to bat at the midday striking
OF the gong. These groups may be
classified along three main lines, con-
|servatives, liberals and progressives.
Most of the presidential aspirants
class themselves as the occasion re-
quires. The lines are not sharply
drawn. The bosses, like Taggart,
Brennan, and Guffey are working over
time to combine the sundry uncom-
bined delegations in order to use them
as pawns in the various horse-deals
that are now being planned in the
secret chambers of the rich hotels of
the metropolis.
Farmers Forgotten.
The writer made it his business to
spend some time in the Hobbies of the
hotels Imperial, Commodore, Meal
pin, Aston, and Pennsylvania, where
headquarters of the North Dakota,
Iowa, Montana and Kansas, Mime
sofa and Nebraska delegations are
lodged. Not word was whispered
or said there about the great agricul-
tural crisis or the suffering of millions
Of farmers. Yet there is quite some
fighting in the Hobbies over a mass of
issues" From appearances it seems
as if the bosses and the powers run
ming the convention are deliberately
stirring up exciting discussion among
the various delegations in order to
give them chance to blow of some
steam and lose their anxiety to launch
a vigorous discussion on the floor of
the convention.

did not give them enough patronage.
The Pennsylvania machine intrenched
In the big industrial centers and fin

the state are fighting McAdoo be-
cause he is for prohibition.
McAdoo is doing everything in his
power-and he has considerable power
at this moment-to counterfeit the
damage Of the blows struck at him
from the above source. He is yelling
frantically for the elimination of all
graft from government administra-
ton. His being smeared with oil, tax
reduction scandal, and Morse pardons
does not help him in this propaganda
of defense.
And while McAdoo is yelling his
head off against bossism, he is doing
his darndest to make an alliance with
the notorious political jobber and big
boss Tom Taggart of Indiana. The
latter is momentarily isolated from
the New York-New Jersey-Illinois
combination. McAdoo agents are
seeking to make the most Of this sit
uation, as they recall that in 1920 Tag
CART supported their man even at the
cost of breaking with boss Murphy of
Tammany and Moore of Ohio, then
Cox's campaign manager.
Gompers On His Knees.
Samuel Gompers who has been rest
ing at the Lenox Hill Hospital since
last week in preparation for his
quadrennial battle for labor at the
democratic convention is off his sick
bed.
The Grand Old Man of the American
trade union movement is on his knees

on the scene early today to line up all
the union-card holders to be found
among the delegates.

We've Been Expecting This

SAN FRANCISCO.-When little
Johnny brings his arithmetic book
home and reads you the example
about the stoYekeeper who made such
and such profit from such and such
a sale, tell him it's all wrong. The
National Retail Hardware Associa-
ton, in convention here, has declared
war on school textbooks because they
teach the children that business men
make big profits, and that's some
thing the children oughtn't to know.

placed on the rent problem they
have found time and energy to
help fight the battles of organ

In laundry strike involving hun
dreds of laundry workers in Coney
Island, "the Council came in after a
judge had issued an injunction and
warned all the working women on
Coney Island that strike was on.
Thousands of leaflets were distrib-

union books from laundry drivers.
Ended Strike in 10 Days.
1t took just ten days to win the
strike and sign up dozens Of houses
after the Council got on the job and
defied the injunction. The organized
men Of New York appreciate the help
that is being given them by the Coun-
Gil and many unions have Endorsed
their campaign for low rents. Kate
Gitlow says that the union men of
New York see that the women of the

homes, have great power if they will

APPOINTS NEh
ARMENIAN BUREE
Decision Set Forth
Letter to Branches

For about year the central execu-
tive committee OF the Workers party
has been working to build within the
Workers party an Armenian section.
After many difficulties it has finally
been able to create a bureau Of the
Armenian section which will have the
allegiance of all the Armenian
branches within the Workers party.
The decision of the central execu-
tive committee is set forth in the fol-
lowing letter, which has been sent to
all the Armenian branches:
Chicago, June "a, 1924.
To all Branches of the Armenian
Section of the Workers party:
Dear Comrades-You have been adj
vised that at the Boston convention
of the two groups of the Armenian
section 1t was agreed that by June /
the bureau of the Armenian section
should be combined so that the organ
ization should become one central
functioning party unit.
The central executive committee of
the Workers party took the matter up
with the two bureaus elected at the
Boston convention and instructed
them to combine, laying down the
conditions of their future work. II
found, however, that dissension and
controversy still existed and that it
was impossible for the C. z. c. of the
Armenian section to proceed with its
work on the basis of five members
from each group. The central execu-
tive committee therefore revised its
decision and directed that the former
groups Of the Armenian Workers par
tvs. d. Hunchakist party should elect
four members on the combined c. E.
G. and the Armenian Workers party
three members of the combined
GEO.
Upon this decision being presented
to the two groups, the group of the
Armenian Workers party-S. d. Hunch.
akist party Immediately elected its
four members, but the Armenian w.
P. group refused to elect its three
members, only one member of the
Armenian Workers party group agree
ing to serve upon the bureau.
In order that the work Of the AT
menian section might be united imme
diately, the C. z. c. has authorized
