CHORUS AGAINST U. S.
MORGAN imp RIALISM
(speoIal to The Daily Worker,

LONDON, Dec. Rome and Car
thage in the days Of their greatest
glory and profligacy were nothing
compared to America today. The
accusation is made in lengthy edito-
rial in the Daily Chronicle today. It is
evidently propaganda for Reputation
of the debt owed the United States by
England.
Commenting on Americas great
wealth, it said.
1.-THE suction Of Americas vast wealth
is rapidly drawing in all that money
can buy. There has been nothing like
it before in the history of the world.
The power Of Rome and Carthage was
small compared with that which Anne
RIGA Yields. All this power has been
won not by physical conquest, not by
the sword, but by new kind Of i'm.
perialism-economic imperialism"
The Chronicle bewailed moreover
that Europe is being stripped of art
treasures by rich Americans.

ESTIMATE OF $4,000
CHICAGO JOBLESS TOO
LOW, SAYS SWADECK

The estimate Of $500 unemployed
for Chicago is far too low figure,
according to Arne Swabeck, district
organizer Of the Workers Party.
The figure Is that given by various
estimates made by some authorities
connected with the state, city and
private employment agencies and
published by the capitalist press.
"The usual unemployment mini
mum must run considerably higher
than 95,ooo," says comrade swa-
beck, "as the unemployed minimum
for the country as a whole is 1850,
600 and chlcago's share must reach
over 100000 by quite a good deal.
In addition there are the seasonal
unemployed who are out Of Jobs
temporarily In particular lines.
"The unemployment record Of
recent months shows how the reIa-
tlon stands between Jobs and lob
less. In July there were 2o3 appll.
cants to every 100 Jobs; In AUGUST.
1o5 to 100; in September, f47 TO 100:
In October 1850 and IN November
slight rise with 1866 asking for Jobs
to every 100 jobs open. And this does
not count the seasonal unemployed
who are not generally applying for
work.
