SENATOR SHES
AIRED REMARKS
OF interviewer
Brookhart Denies His
Speech Conmunistic


WASHINGTON, May 2O.--One Of the
Workers Party members here took
up the challenge of his group to go to
see just what Senator Brookhart Of
Iowa meant in his recent speech in
the senate. The Senator's remarks
sounded suspiciousIy communistic to
the friends and they wanted to "get
the guy right"
The interview with the Senator,
who was in a non-committal mood,
follows:

Senator" / began, there is con-
siderable comment going the rounds
Of the Communists with reference to
certain remarks that you made in the
Senate recently"
ITO what remarks do you refer?"
interrupted the Senator.
"In referring to Henry Ford's in
dustrial machine you stated that you
believe it is not a good thing for the
country to accumulate wealth thru the
sweat and work OF other men. Some
of our members say that this is only
another way of saying that you are
opposed to the exploitation of labor.
The Communists would appreciate
your Interpretation.
81 am not" replied Senator Brook
hart, with the Communists. believe
in co-operatives."
81 am aware of that, Senator. Would
you care to elaborate upon your other
statement that you belong to the eco
nomic theory that never makes a mil
lionaire and never makes pauper. 1t
| is quite possible to interpret that re-
mark as belief in Communism. The
Chicago DAILY WORKER would be
glad to print your Interpretation"
"The WORKER will make its own
Interpretation anyway. have nothing
to add to what 1 said in the Senate. "

Missouri Federation Of labor.

MOBERLY. Mo.-The s1st conven-
ton, Missouri State Federation of La
Dor, opened in the Moberly high school
auditorium with almost 200 delegates.
Workmen's compensation legislation,
still absent from Missouri statute
books, is a principal topic before the
convention. Other matters dealt with
by the federation's legislative commit
tee are a miners washhouse bill,
child labor and the defeated indus
trial court bill modelled on the Kansas
measure that has proved a farce.

seems he lent millions of public
money to start stock companies
in the big industries that Polish
and French capital had grabbed
from the old Russian or German
states. Later he allowed these
millions to be repaid in de-
preciated Polish marks, worth
only a few thousand.
Still later he was director of one
of these companies which had been
presented with millions from the Pc.
lish treasury.
Mortgaged to Bankers.
But this is only one little sample,
The real profits are made, not in
small stock companies, but in great
international loans. Italy has just is
sued loan of 400 million lire to Pc
land, at 10 per cent. One condition

bought from abroad for the Polish
state tobacco monopoly shall be pur
chased of two designated firms in
Italy. Those firms appear to have a
stand-in with either Mussolini or the
Bank of Italy, for they will be repaid
three times or more by the workers
of Poland to the firms that have the
proper connections in Italy and they
will still owe the principal.
Must Guzzle French Boose.
OF course, the French are the real
beneficiaries of Polish natural re
sources. They have concessions in
oil which they are exploiting ruthless
ly, taking the crude oil out of the
country in order to build up refineries
in France over the protests of the
Poles, who would like to develop a
little industry themselves. France
also has a tariff treaty whereby she
gets 40 per cent lower duty than Ger

Predict Bitter Debate.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. May 90
Bitter debate was forecast as pacifists

the world in fact, are waging the
same struggle as are the producers
of this country. Recent elections in
these countries indicate that the pro-
ducing classes are making great gains
in their battle for control. The work
ers and. farmers of Russia have forced
the government out of the hands of
their exploiters and have established
a workers and farmers dictatorship
in its place. The next logical step
the workers and farmers of Minnesota
must take to improve their conditions
is to unite their forces nationally into
class farmer-labor movement; wage
relentless struggle against the cap
italist system ITSELF and at the first
opportunity set up government OF
workers and farmers in this country.
The Workers Party pledges itself to
blaze the way in this struggle. Our
organization, our money, our energy
will be used to bring about dicta-
torship of workers and farmers as OPP
posed to the present dictatorship of
capital.

JUNE 16.
The Workers Party has not filed
candidates for all offices. With the
large number of candidates filed on
the Farmer-Labor ticket the nomina-
ton of candidates by the Workers
Party for all state offices might cause
the election of men who were opposed
to the Farmer-Labor Federation and
the building of great national Farm
er-Labor Party at the st. Paul con-
vention on June IT. The District Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Workers
Party, therefore, recommends the fol-
lowing candidates to the workers and
farmers, and urges that you support
them on June 16. These men are
not Communists, Except those who
are listed as such in this IeafIet). They
will not carry out our program. Sup
port them, not because we think they
will go as far in waging struggle
against capitalism as they should go,
but because we feel that out of all
the candidates filed, they are the
staunchest supporters Of the Farmer
Labor Federation, and we believe
they will give the best administration
for the workers and farmers.

But the after effects of an alibi stay

l hold this truth to be self evident
that the better the abili the flatter
the failure. An alibi is a piece Of
dough which started out to be q bis

alibi is intended by Its fond parent
TO be an explanation. but It Is really
nothing but an admission.
An ahbi Is a worthless substitute
for an achievement. The world Is
roughly divided into two classes: those
who use alibis, and those who do get
