Anatole France Speaks of Jack London

which reminds me that against the
poor everything and anything is per-
mited. All proletarians Of Europe
have, like their American class COM
rades, felt the imprint of the iron
heel on their own bodies
One of these days, however, the
fight between Capital and Labor will
again flare up. Then one will ex-
perience days like those Of the revolts
in San Francisco land Chicago, the
indescrihable horror Of which Jack
London has already portrayed before
hand. Nevertheless, there is abso-
lutely no ground for the assumption
that on that day (be it near or dis
tant) Socialism win again be ground
under the iron heel and choked in
blood
In the year 1917, someone had ex-
claimed to Jack London: 'You are a
terrible pessimistw Sincere socialists
reproached him with bringing fear
to the Party. But they were wrong.
Those who have the rare and precious
gift Of being able perceive things be-
forehand, must openly call attention
to these dangers which they sense in
advance. I recollect that the great
Jaures said more than once: "With
US the forces Of the classes against
which we have to lead the fight are
not sufficiently known. They have
the power and they are credited with
possessing virtue. The clergy have
forsaken the morals of the church in
order to take up those of business;
and The whole Of society will, as soon
as it is seriously threatened, enter
the field in order to defend itself"
He, too, was right, just as Jack Lon
don was right, in holding the
prophetic mirror before us in order
to reveal our failings and shortsight-
edness.
We will not compromise the fu-
ture. It belongs to US. The Pluto
cracy will fall. Now, in its fulness
Of power, one already recognizes
signs Of its collapse. 1t will disap-
pear, because every caste regime is
doomed to death. Wage slavery must
disappear, because it is unjust. II

Farming is an industry requiring
work and brains. An experienced
farmer ought 70 do better than an
inexperienced city man. But many
thousands of farmers have been so
ground down by their years of profit
less labor that they have remained
ignorant of improved methods that
have come to the notice of the bet
ter orientated city man. The very
diversity of the farmers work makes
much of the knowledge of the car
penter and the school teacher, and
the butcher. and all the rest of them
come in mighty handy. But this is
not the solution of the problem. The
survey itself shows that ex-farmer
and ex-city man fail in about the
same ratio.
This attempt to set farmer against
farmer according to past vocations is
ridiculous. To 60 over the same
ground covered by this survey and
find out why each of the 35 city men
turned to farming would throw inter
esting light on the workings of the
capitalist system. It would be found
that some of those carpenters, ma
chinists. engineers, ETC., were victims
of a lost labor cause, and blacklisted
because Of their activity on behalf Of
the working class. So the only way
left for their families to get bread
was to scratch it out of the soil. To
gather those fifty-eight farmers to-
gether and have them tell one an
other their life stories would give a
qualified writer the basis Of the great
American play and the great Amer
lean novel, both. It would uncontro-
vertibly prove the need for the soli-
darity of the working class, of land
and Of town, for the common cause
The daily worker., 1924-01-26

The digest of this report concludes
from this showing: "That means that
most of them were totally ignorant
of the industry which they sought to
pursue, and, in addition, were unfa-
miliar with the part of the country in
which they sought to produce living.
They lnew nothing Of its soil, its
climate, its labor conditions, its
prices, its production costs and its
markets. Should a sailor walk into
a watchmaker's shop and apply for a
job as a watch repairer he would be
acting in a manner no more incon-
gruous than the deep-sea divers, the
carpenter and the wrestler, and any
of the rest Of them, in boldly taking
UP the difficult pursuit of farming in
strange country. The report says
that it is not surprising that these
strangers failed in large numbers"
"The attempt of inexperienced and
unit met to succeed under conditions
requiring q high type Of agricultural
ability and experience produced its
natural results" says the report on
the survey, "In the area Of heaviest
failure 519o of those who went upon
the land were without previous farm
ing experience and S09c had no cap
ital."
So the report maintains that the
reason why Montana farmers fail is,
first, because they are not Montanans,
second, because they are not farmers.
The report itself gives the lie to
this conclusion. The survey showed
619c nor, farmers, 39SO farmers. The
619o produced SIZE of the worst fail
ure, the 1870 produced 49SS. The
single Montanan in the So is such a
minor factor that there is no basis
of comparison.

THE wholesale bankruptcy Of large
i sections of our rural populations
is Of such serious portent to the pol
iticians, especially in presidential
election year, That some alibi must be
offered. At first the tactic was to de-
nv that the farmers were badly of,
the Republicans maintained that they
were prosperous but didn't know it.
This Christian Science prosperity was
not antidote for eighty cent wheat
that costs twice that to raise, so a
nqw tack was tried.
The Montana Department of Agri-
culture has found out the real reason
why farmers fail. They just don't
know their business, that's all. To be
a proper farmer one must be an ex-
pert in soils, q botanist, biologist, q
weather prophet, an agriculturist, a
machinist, a merchant, a banker, a
traffic manager, and a dozen other
things which in the city may pull
down $1,000 a year-each. 1t ought
to be great consolation for the Da-
kotans, disposed after three genera
tions Of slavery, to learn that all
that's wrong with them is that they
don't know farming.
Out of fifty-eight farmers in a re-
cent survey only twenty-three had
been farmers before settling in that
part of the country, and only one
was native Montanan. The former
vocations of the others were: two
: doctors, one miner, two deep-sea div
ers, two school teachers, two black
smiths, one bartender, three maiden
ladies, two cowpunck9rs, one sea- 60
ing engineer, one mail carrier, one
globe-trotter, six musicians, two dray-
men, two butchers, two milliners, two
jack-of-all-trades, and two wrestlers.

Why the Farmers Fail Bz WILLIAM KKgsE

of ridding themselves of the para
site coupon-clippers who live off the
sweat and blood of Americas work
ers.
What is really the matter with our
farmers is that they are trying to
wage an individualist struggle against
capitalist regime. The plutocratic
COLLECTIVELY made up of railroads,
banks, elevators, packinghouses,
chain stores, commission brokers,
canneries, implement. makers, seed
wholesalers, fertilizer magnates, and
all the others who stand between the
producer on the land and his fellow
producer in the city-they are err
ganixed. Thru their Chamber of
Commerce, Manufacturers Associa-
tions, Rotarians, Kiwanis, Ku Kluxes,
and other organizations they control
two major political machines and such
side shoots as occasions may demand.
Thru the control of these parties they
control the American government, the
State, in all its branches. Thru the
control of the political State they
are able to enforce their claim of
ownership of the socially essential
public utilities. The formula of cap
italist power is simple: Exploitation
thru ownership; ownership thru polit-
ical power; political power thru class
organization.
The workers and farmers must fol-
low the same formula. Alone they
can do nothing. The Montana sur
vey declares that 304S of the worst
failures had no capital. That is false.
One hundred per cent Of all failure
had no capital, relatively speaking.
That's why farmers fail. That's why
workers are robbed. When they have
all capital, collectively, there will be
no further failure or robbery.

At a certain meeting in Moscow
of Representatives Of Communist

others responded-in fact, all but
