The Canal Zone Celebration

American governmental, naval military and
commercial authorities are now celebrating the
tenth anniversary of the official opening of the
Panama Canal.
This is an historical event of the finest order
The Panama Canal has undoubtedly proved of
great service to enhance the development of in
dustry and commerce in the Latin-American coun-
tries. 1t has also brought closer the millions of
the American continents to Asia the greatest labor
market in the world.
But there is another phase in the role Of the
Panama Canal in history. 1t is significant that so
great a monument to human progress, that so
marvellous an engineering feat the cutting away
of thousands of miles of natures obstacles should
also serve as agency of destruction and OPP
preston. The Panama Canal is one of the first
lines Of defense and ofense in the strategy of ag-
grandizement adopted by our imperialists The
Culebra Cut is serving as short cut to the i'm
perialist ambitions of our ruling clique in Asia
and the Latin-American republics.
1t will not be out of place at this time to re
count some of the other achievements" of American
Imperialism The working men in the Canal Zone
are not permitted to organize. Low wages and de-
grading working conditions are the lot of these.
Then the treaty concluded between Panama and
the United States after the fake revolution en-
gineered by Theodore Roosevelt in Colombia en-
ables the American government to gobble up the
small republic any time it sees fit to do so. Only
two weeks ago the Coolidge administration grabbed
another stretch of land covering twenty-five miles
belonging to Panama. The oil companies, hiding
in the folds of the stars and stripes are also Gel
ebrating the tenth anniversary Millions of acres
belonging to Panama have been gobbled up for
oil by the Sinclair company the Gulf Oil, and other
American groups of exploiters.
American capitalists are clinching their hold on
European resources. They have firm grip on the
South American industries and markets. They
are making great strides in Asia and the near
East The tenth anniversary of the opening of the
Panama canal should serve to remind our working
class of the brutal aggressiveness being developed
by their BOSSES

Reaetonary politicians see, or at least they pre-
tend so, great relief to the suffering farmers in
the recent advances in the price of and wheat
Loud rejoicing about the predicted return to con
servatism by the restless agrarians has filed the
capitalist press. What justification is there for
this? Have the farmers gotten relief in the new
grain prices?
1t is buncombe! The farmers on the whole are
as bad off as ever Prices for wheat and corn have
gone up because the farmers have less of these
commodities to put upon the market Corn adj
vanced in price yesterday above the dollar mark
but why? Because of frosts and general unfavor-
able conditions for the corn crop! There will be
less corn than was expected-the price goes up.
But to say that the higher price for smaller pro-
duct is going to help the farmers out of their hole
is the rankest kind of nonsense.
The strangest thing about such propaganda is
the uselessness of it, 1t does no good to convince
the workers in the city that the farmer is all right
The farmer knows BETTER or at least he will know
better when he cashes in ON his crop. The truth
of the matter, known to the capitalist class also,
is that agriculture has been brought to crisis by
the capitalist system under which it must operate.
And the capitalist system has no way out except
the appropriation of hundreds Of thousands of
farmers, throwing them into the cities, there to
take their place among the propertyless workers
in the factories And the only way the capitalist
system has of doing this is thru the process of
bankruptcy Advance in corn prices is the
response to frost not to the needs of the farming
population

alton overtime to talk of the great revival of in

in numbers He forget to tell the country that the
vicious Fordney McCumber Tariff Act has levied
an additional tribute of more than four billion
dollars on the masses. The high sounding but
meaningless words Cooperation and diversified
ton" are offered the farmers
And to boast of the Washington Conference as
peace gathering is to build out of cannons and
war victims skulls a monument to international
peace. This is precisely what Coolidge did in his
speech. His whoehearted Endorsement of the
Dawes plan to enslave Germany is another sample
Of the peace the capitalist war makers can bring
to the world.
On the whole the Coolidge address is notable
contribution to the brazen declarations of the
Yankee imperialists. He promises to encourage
American citizens and resources to assist in restor-

government and talks "of the mighty influence
which our moral influence exerts thruout the

LaFollette
After the workers have been fed up on the plati-
tudinous Coolidge, who points with pride to his
wage-cutting Misunderstanding labor batting ad-
ministrataion; on the cyncally arstocratic Davis,
who boasts of his long service on the payroll of
j. Pierpont Morgan on the unctious LaFollette,
who cries for return to the golden past of 1776"
while he makes alliances with the most corrupt
and reactionary union officials and with politicians
supporting republican and democratic party or
ganization-after all this, it will be refreshing to
hear the worker, Foster, proclaiming the war of
the working class against all of its exploiters the
proetarian revolution the rule of the workers thru
their own councils.
William 2. Foster enters the presidential cam
paign under the banner of Communism. There will
be no bunk given to the workers that they can
emancipate themselves by voting for Foster On
the contrary the Communist message in this and
every campaign is that only the working class it
SELF in the most bitter struggle against the CAPT
talist class can abolish exploitation The presi-
Dental campaign is merely one of the means of
rallying and uniting the revolutionary will of the
workers, to give it expression, and to establish
in the minds of the working masses the great revo
lutionary lessons of the class struggle and the
proletarian dictatorship. That is what Fosters
meeting tomorrow in youngstown will mean.
