can be measured by the following
comparisons:
/. This annual war expenditure
would have paid more than So per
cent of the 1923 railroad wage bill
Less than one-third of it would have
made good all the railroad wage re-
auctions since 1920. Less than one
tenth of it, turned into railroad wages
would have made unnecessary the
1922 wage cuts which precipitated the
general shipments strike.
2. This peace-time war budget
would have provided ample funds to
purchase the entire 1928 corn crop,
with more than $10O,O00,OOO to spare.
1t would have bought the entire wheat
clop plus the entire cotton crop. The
money required to carry out the pro-
posals of the farmers representatives
to save the wheat farmers from bank
ruptcy would have been mere drop
in this war bucket.
3. 1t would have provided for build
ing as many homes again as were put
up in 1928 and in addition would have
paid the entire coal mine wage bill.
4. 1t would have paid the country's
school bill twice over.
Bonus to War Profiteers.
The biggest factor in this annual
war burden is the $1,236,590 1852 which
the people pony up for the benefit Of
the rich bondholders. This annual
contribution of over a billion dollars
is the bonus to war profiteers for their
willingness to sell the government
supplies at exorbitant prices.
The magnitude of this annual war
interest and sinking fund charge can
also be best shown by comparisons.
It would have paid the entire 1923
wage bill Of the coal industry with a
generous margin to spare. It would
have paid the entire annual earnings

the farmer-labor political move
ment.
Holding sacred, as the Farmer-La-
Dor Party of Missouri does, the prin-
ciple of Independent working class
political action, we are yet COM
PEELED to face the fact that we have
not the necessary organization to go
thru with the electoral campaign
this fall. 1t is the purpose of the
Missouri Farmer-Labor Party to
continue in the field, striving in
every way possible to advance the
cause of working class political &C
ton, independent of the exploiters.
One Thing to Do.
Under the conditions mentioned,
there is but one thing for the Mis-
souri, Farmer-Labor Party to do.
Since we cannot ourselves carry on
an extensive campaign against the
two old parties and LaFollette's in
Observation-Disclosures party, we
indorse the candidates of the only
working class party which has not
united with the small business men
and the disgruntled politicians Of
the old parties, in support of LaFol-
lette's personal candidacy.
The Missouri Farmer-Labor Par
ty does hereby indorse the national
and state ticket of the one party
which has consistently and valiant
ly striven for the realization of a
mass party of the wage workers and
exploited farmers - the Workers
Party Of America. We pledge our
support in this campaign to the
candidates of the Workers Party
and will carry on an active cam
paign to advance the cause OF indie
pendent working class political &C
ton.

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
CEUTA, Morocco, July 21.-General
Primo Rivera is planning to make a
great military offensive demonstration
against the rebellious tribesmen who
have been attacking the Spanish out
posts in the Moroccan mountains.
There are 10000 peninsular troops, in
GLIDING infantry, cavalry, artillery, en-
gineers, supply and ambulance corps,
a few auxiliary units and 10000 native
troops. In addition there is a foreign
legion Of adventurous numbered at
5000.
The Spanish dictator, who has been
going over the situation here, claims
that he has decided to withdraw reg
ular peninsular troops from the fight
ing front after the demonstration,
which is supposed to put the fear of
the lord into the hearts of the Mo-
roccan tribesmen. Rivera claims that
he will use only volunteers for the
flying columns and IN punitive expedi-
lions. The small outposts will be
abolished.

In short, il the country could free
itself Of this peace-time war charge
foisted on 1T by the ambitions of its
financial oligarchy every one would
have more money to spend, demand
would increase, there would be more
regular employment and more ade-
quate return to all producers. All
competent economists recognize that
the uncertainty in the business world
is due in considerable measure to the
staggering war burden that is cutting
down the spending power of all peo-
pies.
A recent report of the Bankers
Trust company of New York shows
that the four chief "victors" in the
world war owe $179,221 ,O0O, 900, or
nearly as much as the entire pre-war
wealth of the United States. This
means that the peoples Of the United
States, Great Britain, France and
Italy were in no real sense victors.
The war made them tributary to the
money power.

made until it has been ratified by
you.
Remind them that you voted for
series Of new demands, that you
went on strike for these demands
and that you intend to continue the
fight for these demands. Tell the
officials that even if this agreement
is, as they say, only the old agree
ment with certain changes, the mem
bership must nevertheless be con-
suited with regard to these changes.
Don't let the leaders persuade you
that their reason for not wanting
you to discuss the agreement is be-
cause they are afraid to have the
bosses see how we'll satisfied you
are with it. This is sheer hypocrisy.
The leaders themselves are suppress
ing every member who lifts his voice
against this agreement. 1t was the
leaders themselves and not the mem
bership who first rushed in to sign
the agreement. The leaders don't
want the membership TO discuss the
agreement because they know that
it brings no improvement whatever
in the conditions of the industry,
that 1t offers no better chance than
before to the workers to make a
living. And they know there are
still enough cloakmakers acquainted
with the conditions Of the trade to
make this fact clear to the member

not want to bring the agreement be-

sure you would reject it.

YOUNG SLAYERS
PLEAD GUILTY.;
TO TEST SANITY
Grove Calls Loudly for
Leopold-Loeb Blood

States attorney Robert e. Grove
is out for at least two hangings: Ma
than F. Leopold nd Richard a. Loeb,
confessed slayers OF the school boy
Robert Franks. Grove wants to wear
bloody feathers in his cap. He an
nounced when the boys pleaded guilty
in court yesterday morning that the
change of plea made no difference to
the states case.
"They should be hanged" he said.
Grove Would Crush Others.
States attorney Grove would like
to be as harsh to the two Polish lads,
Louis Derus and his companion, both
under IS, who attempted to ape the
Leopold-Loeb demand for ransom.
These two poor boys are held in the
jail for their threat to Robert Franks
sister. Their counsel has said that
he could prove his young clients Gin
sane" or at least incompetent" If he
had the millions of the Leopolds and
Loebs to back him.
Grove says that these two Polish
lads are doomed. 1.-THE state has
clear case" is Mr.. Groves cocky
phrasing. And the sentence may be
twenty years Imprisonment for the
misguided young men who never had
been able to get an education except
from the streets and who have not
found the profits system of capitalist
society any profit to them. The pro-
fits have gone to the Leopolds and
the Loebs, and their sons, who had
so little to do that they plotted MUIR
ders for thrills, set the example which
melted the unschooled Polish lads to
try their luck in the same way.
Court Hangers Miss Out.
Tomorrow morning the hearings on
the sanity of Nathan Leopold and
Richard Loeb will be opened. At
torney Bachrach, who is assisting
Clarence barrow, chief defense coun-
sci, argued that the alienists of the de-
tense and of the state should consult
together to avoid making science a
laughing stock by having utter dis
agreement among the doctors. Bach
rach also pointed out that such action
would keep most of the unfortunate
details Of the case out of the reach
Of the public and would avoid dis
astrous effects of other mislead young
people attempting to find out for
themselves" the thrills that Nathan
Leopold and Dick Loeb sought.
Darrow's move to have the young
men plead guilty puts the burden of
the case upon the state. The defense
will only offer mitigating circum-
stances and will make its greatest ef
fort in the attempt to prove the
wealthy young men deranged men

LA FOLLETTE'S
LABOR RECORD
HIT BY GITLOW
PhiEadelphians Applaud
w. P. Candidate
BY ADRIAN JAKlRA
Especial to the Daily Worker.)

PHILADELPHIA, July 21.-Ben-
jamin Gitlow, Workers Party candi-
date for Vice-President, was given an
enthusiastic reception at a mass meet
ing held in this city last Friday, July
IS.
The meeting was called by the
Philadelphia Farmer-Labor Party in
order to enable the delegates to the
ST. Paul Convention to report and for
the purpose of discussing the latest
political developments. Gitlow was
one OF the spealDses. The hall was
packed to the doors.
A thunder of applause and cheer
ing rocked the hall when comrade
Gitlow was introduced as the Work
ers Party candidate for Vice-presi-
dent. All those present rose on their
feet and continued to cheer, and APP
plaud for several minutes. His elo-
quent and vigorous speech was like
wise met with continuous applause
and cheering.
Hits LaFoIIette Labor Record.
In his speech comrade Gitlow gave
a splendid review Of the anti.labor
record Of Coolidge and Davis and of
the petty bourgeois character Of the
LaEollette movement. One cannot re-
call single measure introduced by
LaFonette in the interests of the
working class during his fourty years
OF publio service. He has never even
put up serious fight against injunc-
lions, despite Of the fact that he
claims 70 be opposed to injunctions.
LaFolette's own state where he is
in complete control over the political
machine, is well known as an Open
Shop stronghold. He spent q good
deal Of his time in order to get cor
rect railroad valuation, which to the
working class means absolutely moth
ing.
Meciuru and JakIra Speak.
Other speakers who addressed the
meeting were H. o. McClurg, secre-
tary Of the Philadelphia Farmer-La-
Dor Party, who gave detailed report
on the work Of the St Paul Conven-
ton, and comrade A. Jakira, who
spoke on the role of the Commun-
lists at that convention and on the
socialist party betrayal. The latter in
its official appeal to its membership
states-"We are stepping back pace
or two to meet the main army of la
Dor, then to march forward together"
The same argument was given by
the socialist parties Of various coun-
tries ten years ago when the world
war broke out. They then retreated
ito the main army Of labor" and to
the camp Of the capitalist brigands,
but instead of marching forward to-
gether" they have since been seen
in continuous retreat. The Commun-
lists are the only ones doing the for
ward marching.
The Philadelphia Farmer Labor
Party is calling a special conference
for July 31st at the Machinists' Tenn
pie for the purpose OF taking final
action on the coming presidential cleo
tons.
