Socialist Hanumen.
To the help of the hangmen there
comes their trusted servant: Interna-
tional Social Democracy. Ten years
ago international social democracy
everywhere voted for the war credits;
everywhere it supported its national
bourgeoisie; it supported the versail-
les Treaty, which was dictated to the
vanquished people and set its sigma
ture to it; in all countries it furthered
the attempt to reestablish capitalism
at the expense of the proletariat; it
only conducted sham fight against
the Versailles Treaty, against the rob
berries and against the occupation of
the Ruhr. And now it is the first to
sing the praises of the plan of the
Morgan group. Social Democracy
has made use of every one Of the 20
reparation conferences in order to
dish up new illusions, and it now
seeks to make use of the 23rd repara-
tons conference of the victorious inn
perialist robbers for the same pur-
pose. On the occasion of every con-
ference the Social Democrats pro-
claim the beginning of new era Of
pacifsm and claim that this time the
conference will finally bring salvation
and reconstruction" This is done in
order to entangle the revolution in
pacifist-democratic illusions.

Every capitalist solution is merely prelude to
another complication. We have in mind the eco
nomic effects and political consequences of the
recent upward trend in the prices of certain farm
commodities.
The world wheat crop shows decrease of about
twelve per cent compared with the 1923 figures.
The areas hardest hit are the wheat producing
territories outside the boundaries of the United
States. Consequently the price of wheat has gone
up. This rise in price has been considered by some
the signal for revival of American agricultural
economy, the beginning of the end of the severe
depression in which agriculture has found itself
in the United States for the past five years.
But while the echoes of applause accustomed by
the increased price of wheat and corn were still
reverberating in many sections of the country the
department Of Agriculture let it be known that,
at most, this upward trend would boost prices to
a total Of two hundred million dollars. For the
country as whole, since only oneeighth of our
wheat crop is exported, this meant merely shift
and not an increase in the total purchasing power.
Now, we are further told the livestock situation
is an increasingly menacing cloud on the farmers
economic horizon. The prospect Of an extremely
poor corn crop and the simultaneous advance in
rye and wheat have tended to lift the values of
all stock feed Thus the survey just concluded by
the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation tells
us that "beef steers are about one dollar hundred
pounds lower than last year. veal calves dollar
and half down, wool six to seven cents lower,

Nor was LaFollette dangerously
hostile to the big employing interests
in the revenue measures proposed by
him to raise more than enuf money
with which to finance the war.

public must pay enuf for the products
to furnish good round profit for the
capital actually invested" Gong. Rec.

Not only did LaFollette differ
merely as to the method Of financing
the imperialist war, but he advocated
his own plan for adoption Of which he
argued on the ground that It would
safeguard the spirit of war among the

There is, and Of course can be, no

in waging war to collect Mr. Morgan's
money for him." Yet, having no H.
lusions about the character Of the
bloody struggle, LaFollette voted for
SIS out of so war measures. prior and
subsequent to this declaration.
The Wisconsin senator at no time
proposed to take away from the i'm
perialist diplomats and the financiers
their powers to make war. At most
LaFollette has sought to give the
masses who fight the wars a voice
along with the intriguing capitalist
statesmen and the profit-hungry boss
es. Thus we find him say in his Pc.

themselves, on whom the burden of
wal. falls, have a wholesome direct
expression-along with finance and
diplomacy, in determining whether
there shall be war. or whether there
shall not be war;"
Not Really Against CONSUMPTION
Likewise. LaFollette's opposition TO
the CONSUMPTION bill before It became
law was only to the method pursued by
the employing class in numbering the
sons OF the workers and poor farmers
and not to their right to call upon
the working masses to fight their i'm.
perialist battles. In the Wisconsin
state senate Hon. H. A. Huber, thus
on February %. 1918, defended and
explained LaFollette's opposition to
conscription on the basis OF military
efficiency:

Campaign CamoufIage

The two parties of big capital, the democratic
and the republican, are preparing to employ the
most ingenious strategy, the most skilfully manip
ulated camoufage in order to win the support of
the laboring masses in the coming campaign.
Such maneuvers are, of course, not new in Amer
lean politics. This year. however, efforts in this
direction will be intensified because of the deep
going unrest that has of late manifested itself in
the ranks of the organized and unorganized work
ing Tho redoubed in energy, these attempts
are fundamentally the same threadbare, timeworn,
hackneyed efforts that have characterized the Re
publican and democratic campaigns for many
years.
The republican drummers will try to sell the I'm
founded idea that the protective tariff means good
wages and prosperity for the working men. Need
less to say these Coolidge boosters will be silent
about the fact that the FordneY- McCumber tariff
act has levied an additional tribute of more than
three billion dollars on the laboring masses.
When the democrats will be making most noise
about the prosperity enjoyed by the masses during
the Wilson regime, they will be pathetically dumb
about the fact that the world was at war them
that conditions artiicially stimulated, that
the seeds were then being sown for the worst de-
preston in American history.
Nor will the republican orators attempt to be
eloquent ABOUT tne spreading Unemployment and
the increasing economic depression when they will
be laying most emphasis on a change of administra
ton being a cause for panic.
Likewise, both republicans and democrats will be
in a conspiracy of silence and avoid deliberately
the slightest mention of the strikebreaking char
acter of the United States government when they
will be yelling loudest for decisive majorities in
order to avoid the wheels of legislation being
stopped.
And Mr.. LaFollette himself will do nothing more
than avoid and eyade the issues confronting the
working and exploited farming masses by harping
on the need for an impossible return to the "good
old, golden" days of 1916. LaFollette's economic
program, the basis on which rests his political doc
trine, is fundamentally unsound.
In the coming campaign there will be but one
call aimed at rallying the workers to action, to
decisive struggle against their exploiters. This
will be the call sounded by the Communists. The
Communists alone will be the ones to raise the
class issue and thus attempt to strike at the roots
of the hardships and sufferings of the overwhelm-
ing majority of the population.

must be remembered, are the sinews
of all capitalist wars.
In fact, a summary of Battling
Bob's" war record reveals that he
voted for at least fifty-five out of sixty
war measures passed by congress.
Tho he opposed the armed ship bill
before the United States joined the
Allies, he did not speak on this mea-
sure, did not utter word against it
in the senate.
LaFoIlette Pledged Self For War to
Utmost.
When one thinks of the suffering of
the Communists, the revolutionary
workers, in every country for their
opposition to the imperialist blood
fest, he is Immediately convinced that
LaFollette did everything but fight
against the World War. There is an
unbridgeable chasm between the war
records of Robert M. LaFollette Of the
republican party of Wisconsin and
Karl Liebknecht of the Communist
Party of Germany.
Let us call upon State Senator
Henry A. Huber of LaFollette's own,
Dane county, to tell us of "Bob's" war
patriotism. Listening to Senator HUI
ber's speech before the Wisconsin up
per house on February 20, 1918, we
hear him say in defense of LaFol-
lette's war record: "War having been
legally declared LaFollette immedi-
ately accepted 1t as a fact. He set
about to make effective war. He be-
lieved it to be wise to make war as
effective as possible that 1t might be
the sooner ended. (This was exact
ly the reasoning of the capitalist SUI
per-patriots and the profiteers). Here
after l will give his record on the war
measures coming up for consideration
in the senate. II is a record to be
proud of. He consistently and patriot
ically supported the president and his
country to the end that we might win
the war at the earliest possible mo-
ment with an honorable and abiding
peace"
Didn't Interfere.
And turning to an address deliver
ed by LaFollette before the United
States senate, as reported in the Con-
gressional Record page 6S1) OF April
IA, 1917, we read II do not desire to
hamper our own effort to speedily
prepare to prosecute this deplorable
war"
Ten days later LaFollette took oc-
casion to tell the senate (See Cong.
