What of Bulgaria?

censorship in which more than one govern
ment must be cooperating has prevented any news
of the progress of the revolt of the Bulgarian
masses reaching America for the last ten days.
Had the revolt been suppressed it is reasonable to
suppose that the welcome story would have been
cabled to every reactionary sheet in the world No
news is therefore good news for the workers of
other nations who sympathize with the Bulgarian
workers and peasants in their struggle against the
bloody zankov government
That the Communist party of Bulgaria is play
ing leading role in theuprsing is certain because
more than six weeks ago it issued a manifesto to
the workers of the world telling of the crimes of
the Bulgarian rulers, the numberless and indie
scribable outrages inflicted upon the workers and
peasants since the fall of the Stamboulisky govern
ment and the failure of the revolt that followed it,
The manifesto stated that all elements of the work
ing and farming masses were combining against
the Zankov regime and that it's overthrow was ex.
pected
Alexandrov, the leader of the Macedonian faction
that backed the Zankov government, has been as.
sassinated and portion of his forces have Joined
the revolutioniss since the manifesto of the Bul.
garian Communist party was issued The Macedon-
ians have usually held the balance of power in
Bulgaria and their detection probably means the
downfall of the Zankov government.
In the absence of news from Bulgaria we can
only hope that our analysis is correct and that
the Bulgarian masses have won their struggle for
freedom and under the leadership Of the Com
munist party at last on the way to a Soviet
republic In this event the euogies that the CAPT
talist press will print of the departed Zankov gov
eminent will be the best proof that the social revo-
luton is advancing in the Balkans

ERE we have two timely volumes

by the generally recognized foremost
agricultural economist in the country.
Not many worth while books on the
development of American agriculture
have been prepared in recent years,

some time, been an abundance of ma

DR.. Nourse deals with the develop

the per-Civil War days to the present
moment. The early periods are treat.

accorded the more thoro treatment.
The analysis of the effect OF the world

Provoking Japan

Japan Admits Dream Of War on United States y
says the Chicago Tribune in a six-column headline
over the story of Adachi's outburst at Geneva.
War with the United States is not merely a
dream of the Japanese ruling class, it is night
mare. The clashiAg interests of American and
Japanese Imperialism make war between the two
nations just about as certain anything can be
in this unstable world altho it is probable that
neither the rulers of Japan or the United States
want war right now.
internal unrest affecting all sections of the popu-
lation other than the aristocracy and the big capt.
talists has not vet reached such intensity that a
war for the defense of the national honor appears
to be the only way out for the Japanese rulers.
That it will before long afford them only this alter
native to surrender is known to every student OF
Japanese internal affairs.
Our rulers have given the Japanese governing
classes the finest kind of an excuse for war-an
excuse that for millions of japanese workers and
peasants might easily disguise the real causes of
an armed struggle with the United States. The
Japanese exclusion act is being used to weld to-
gether the japanese masses, not with the success
that might be expected among people whose repu-
tation for national pride is of the highest but with
some success nevertheless
If desperate Japanese ruling class can be
provoked into an attack upon the United States
it will certainly be rich dish for our war
nongers.
We have held from the first moment that the
agitation against Japan began that the handful
of Japanese in the Pacific states and their skill in
acquiring property was not the real basis of the
campaign but that the real reason for the hostility
that eliminated in the exclusion act the rivalry
of the imperialists of the two countries aroused
by the desires of each for the unrestricted oppor
unity of robbing and expressing the masses of the
Orient, China particularly.
We are of the opinion that the present Japanese
government will be swept out of existence by the
outraged masses, that the Coreans will revolt and
Il government with strong leanings toward Soviet
Russia will take its place in the event of war with
the United States
The workers of the United States then will be
faced with the task of preventing their rulers max
ing war upon the revolving japanese workers and
peasants and subjugatng them as they did the
Filipinos.
We must not be fooled by lies of the imperiaiist
press. Not single American worker has anything
in the Orient that needs defense from Japan, If
we take care of our own war-mongers the japanese
masses can be trusted to take of theirs. The
probability is that they will have their job almost
completed before start ours, if we can judge
by the rapidly increasing power of working class
organization and the growing discomfort in Japan.

Then discussing the possible effects
of Soviet Russian competition on GER
tain branches of American agricul-
ture, the writer's show that one can
more than easily "set off certain gen
eral advantages that would be derived
from a recovery of Russia. The re.
vival of production and commerce in
Central and Western Europe which
would attend the rehabilitation OF
sound conditions within Russia and
the re-opening Of her trade relations
with the rest of Europe would be re-
Elected in expanding trade in manu-.
featured products between the United
States and Europe generally, and II
would also doubtless improve our Eu-
ropean markets for such agricultural
commodities as tobacco and cotton"
This point knocks into a cooked hat
the argument so often used by the
enemies of Soviet recognition in their
attempting to mislead the workers
and farmers as to the true effects the
restoration of normal relations with
the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub-
lies would have on their economic
conditions.
The book also has valuable ap.
pendix containing authentic informa-
ton about private investments in pre-.
war Russia, the text of the Soviet de-
cree on the annulment Of the czarist
debts, the Soviet's reply to the Genoa

What class of goods can the allied
capitalists accept as reparations
without bringing about serious de-
rangement in their own and the rest
of the capitalist worlds industries?
This contradiction is insoluble be-
cause 1t is inherent in the very sys.
tenn Of capitalism. Interesting com.
ment on this point is to be found in
the statement OF Mr.. Hartley With
ers, the London correspondent OF
Barron's Weekly in its issue Of Aug.
II, 1924. We read this frank confess
sion: $50 that the real problem that
we all wanted the Dawes committee
to solve was evaded. II told us not
what Germany could pay her credi.
tors, but how many marks year
could be collected, for them to con.
vert, IL they could, into their own
currencies. And this evasion of the
core Of the problem, seems TO have
been largely unnoticed by the GER
eral public in the creditor countries
which assumes that It is going 10 re-
ceive what the Dawes report tells Il
can be collected"
More than that. The maximum
reparations. that the French can get
will be less than what they will have
to pay to the capitalists OF Great
Britain and the United States In
meeting their debts.

NF the political messes into which
~ the workers have been dragged
this year, the one now existing in
Colorado threatens to be a serious
contender for first place. The situa-
ton there is good reflex Of the con-
fusion existing in the politics of the
organized workers of America follow
ing on the endorsement everywhere
Of the sleight-of-hand artist from
Wisconsin, LaFoIlette.
The Colorado State Federation of
Labor has not only given it's endorse
ment to LaFollette and Wheeler, but
also to Alva B. Adams, junior senator,
for reelection to the Millionaire's
Club. Adams. it will be recalled, was
appointed by Governor William Sweet
to fill the term left vacant by the
death Of Nicholson. Sweet, who
cashes in on a nice bit of lucre an
nually as bond broker, is support
ing John w. Davis, democratic can
didate for the presidency. And Sweet
has the endorsement Of the American
Federation Of Labor in Colorado.
Bob's Committee Headed by Traitor.
Now! The gentleman who has been
put in charge of the Colorado cam
paign of LaFollette is John R. Law
son. Lawson was once a fighter. He
headed District Is of the United Mine
Workers of America, and was the
leader Of one Of the most glorious
strikes in the history of the Ameri-
can working class, the Ludlow strike.
AS result of that walk-out, with its
attendant, now infamous massacre,
Lawson was framed up by the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Co., run by John
d. Rockefeller Jr., the teacher of Sun
day schools, and the feudal lord of
the state, and was sentenced to a life
term of Imprisonment for his activity.
The case was, however, appealed to
a higher court, the decision reversed
and the entire affair was dropped.
AS soon as Lawson was freed from
Jail, he initiated and led secession
list movement out of the United Mine
Workers because, he Northumberland
perhaps correctly-that the interna-
tional officials of. the union has re-
fused to give the strike the support
It needed and deserved. For this, he
was expelled by the international from
the U. M. w. of A.
For some time, the name of John
r. Lawson was not heard until he fin
ally turned up as an employe of none
other than the Colorado Fuel and

This is the plight Of the farmers. We wonder
how many of the million who have been driven off
the land sharing in the wheat squirt 1t is grue-
some five years that the farmers have gone thru.
That is where they are today. Dreary facts speak
louder than dishonest election talk even from our
Puritanic president.

And Just as Persing and the Yer

war health, so will Dawes and his
London pact fail. The latest plan to

OF the world hegemony OF American

plan does not answer the paramount
question: In what form OF goods is
Germany to pay the separations?

TWO TIMELY BOOKS

with THE Problem of 1924 and After"
A critical examination of the valuable
data massed in these chapters will do
a good deal towards helping one see
thru the fraud of the present farm
prosperity that being sold SO widely.
Also, in the light of the fictitious and
exaggerated claims made for the
Dawes plan to wage the next war, it
is interesting to note that the author
concludes, upon the basis of unim-
peachable evidence that Agricultural
exports may be expected to drop still
further in 1924 and thereafter. For
American agriculture to plan her fu-
ture building on the foundation of an
expected revival and growth of the
European market would, therefore,
mean building on quicksand."
On the whole, Agriculture and the
European Market" is a very readable
volume containing invaluable materi-
al on the biggest industry of the coun-
try and dealing in scientific manner
with one of the most important prob
lens facing the working and farming
masses.
Perhaps in no country in the world
is there such an abundance of ignor-
ance about the economic potentalities
and conditions of Soviet Russia as
there is in the United States. This
little book, by Pasvolsky and Moulton,
should prove of help in dispelling
some of this dangerous ignorance. Be-

St. Louis, Feb. 11.-William G. Nc Adoo's association with the Doheny oil interests renders his availability as q presidential candidate doubtful, ac- cording to William M. Johnston. in- ternational president of the Interna- tional Association of Machinists, who presided at the opening session today of the three-day convention here oi the national conference for political action,
 "McAdoo did have the support of a considerable portion of organized labor. but there is now very serious question of his availability as a candi- date" said MT. Johnston.
 There seems to have been nothing illegal in McAdoo's service for the Doheny interests, but there is q ques- ton of the propriety of a formed cab- inet officer, after leaving his post, ac- cepting employment with such inter- ests and then asking to be nominated for president" said Otto F.

 The socialist party delegates to the conference will urge a union of all organizations represented in forma- ton of a third party, it was said.
 The conference represents national and international labor organizations, many farm organizations, the socialist party, advocates of single taxation, and cooperative organizations.
