WASHINGTON ISN'T A SINK OF
INlQUITY

A very dangerous thing is going
on in this country.
Reckless admission of "testi-
mony" that is largely gossip. and
reckless partisan defamation to-
gether with careless reading and
hasty judgment on the par. of
many people, are joining TO paint
in the public mind picture Of Of
fetal life in Washington that is ut
terly false.
Not once, but many times, some
such comment as this is heard ::
"Oh, ! guess the whole mess down
there is rotten,'
How far from the facts, even the
published facts taken at their ut
most worst is the hasty conception
this carcleSaly uttered sentence re-
fleets.
Out of all official Washington,
two men are accused. Nothing is
proved against either. In the case
Of Mr.. Fall, circumstances seem
damning enough, but he is not con-
victed. In the case Of Mr.. Daugh-
erty. the evidence seems very
largely gossip out Of very unde-
pendable sources. He may or may
not be what a member of the pres
idents cabinet ought to be, bnt
there isn't against him at this
moment any tangible proof that
would induce a jury to convict "A
friendleSs vagrant.
There is such thing as a sense
of proportions, and ii is folly to
lose it, Nobody is HAPPY about
what is going on in Washington
except perhaps political ghouls
who hope somehow to extract poll
teal profit from il. 1t is clear
that things have happened that
never should have happened. 1t is
the hope Of good citizens that il
will all be cleared up SO that the
guilty may be punished and the in
nocent freed of blame.
But official Observation-Disclosures
ing congresses. in the main. hon
est and devoted. 1t may seem stup-
pid sometimes. 1t is all bound
around with red tape There is
too much partisan politics there
to clutter up and delay and confuse
and defeat public business.
But so far as financial dishonesty
is concerned, there is very little of
it. Probably, indeed. there never
has been a time in the history of
the country when there was 80 lit
tie OF it.
There was q time, when the
country was just learning to ex-
plot its great natural resources,
when Gthe exploiters wanted favors
of government and congress and
Washington officials could give
them, when the country couldn't
have stood real investigation
anywhere near as we'll as it can
now. Great financial interests en-
gagged in this exploitation were
very close to political processes.
There were no interstate commerce
commissions and trade commits
siOns and treasury officials to
scrutiniZe their books, and liberal
appropriations for legal expenses"
went unchecked and allenged.
There was, no doubt, bribery in
those days.
Today bribery is very rare in
deed. either in national or state
governments. Twenty years ago it
was Il commonplace in st. Paul.
Today it is almost unknown.
Washington is NOT a rotten
mess. There is evil there, as there
is wherever men seek money they
have not earned.
But, there is good there, too, and
great deal more of it than one
might expect who knows how cas-
ually the American people treat
their political duties. - Duluth

Por, it is a waste of time for any

reading it, which ought to suffice for
the whole Party.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-26

Fascism "can have no prejudice
against any of the various parties If
it confines itself to the dogma of ma
tional welfare" National welfare in
this case being the welfare of the
capitalists of the heavy industries.
This self-revelation Of Odin Por is
valuable for Communists inasmuch as
it teaches us that when dealing with
opportunists Of every variety in the
United Front we must relentlessly
criticize even the meek and mild guild
socialists, for unless they are avowed
Communists, accepting the discipline
of the Party, they are all potential
murderers Of the working class. At
the critical moment when the work
ing class enters decisive struggles we
can always expect our liberal labo-
rites, yellow socialists and sentiment
tai professors whose hearts ache for
the exploited workers, to embrace
Fascism or some other form of
vicious reaction that tries to throttle
every vestige Of working class ex-
preston. The worst feature of such
specimen is that they murder the
working class while protesting
friendship for It. Such people OBJ
ject to open dictatorship Of the pro-
letariat, but their simple souls en-
brace the bloody dictatorship of capt.
taiist hirelings so long as they are
assured that it is in the interest Of
the nation or some other bourgeois
entity.
AS for the book, Fascism, by Odin
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-26

French and Italian industrialism and
that in November, 1914, he started
the Popolo dTtalia, the sole aim of
which was to endeavor to win the
workers and petty bourgeoisie to the
side of the industrialists in favor of
war against Germany.
Odin Por says nothing about the
economic and political forces that
brought about the weakening of the
government, nothing about the part
played by Giolitti in disarming the
workers after the evacuation of the
factories in September, 1920. There
is not one word about the causes Of
the temporary unity between Giolit-
it's agrarians and the industrial fas-
cisti after Mussolini had, a few
months previously, adopted the slo-
gan execute Giolitti." Finally he
says not one word about the inner
contradictions that are today rending
Fascisna in Italy; nothing Of the con-
fliet between the agrarian squad
rons" and the original industrial Fas-
cisti. He refrains from telling his
readers why Mussoini denounced the
use of violence on the eve of seizing
power as a matter Of defense Of in
dustrialism against the agrarian
squadrons.
There still remains the task, for
some Marxist, of writing book on
the economic foundation Of Fascism.
Such book ought to be written for
the purpose Of clearing up much con-
fusion in the movement regarding
this phenomenon. Many Communists
imagine they see grave symptoms of
Fascism in every reactionary move
ment. Such people are superficial
observers who simply utilize popu-
lar label to stigmatize anything they
dislike. Such a procedure is not sci
entiic. Fascism is only possible I'M
der certain economic and political
conditions a9d a real analysis of the
rise of Itahan fascism would help
toward correct attitude toward this
movement.
While Odin Por reveals nothing of
Fascism, he does reveal great deal
of himself. He is a guild socialist
and proclaims the doctrine that Fas-
cism and guild socialism are per-
fectly compatible. He quotes favor
ably Fascist propaganda who says

Fascisnl. by 0don POr. (Alfred A.
Knopf, New York;

Knopf, New York;
The careful student of current his
tory welcomes every addition to the
literature of that modern phenom-
enon called Fascism, but unfor-
tunateIy this book is not an addition
to that literature. 1t is the most alb
surd, empty connection Of stupidity
published in a decade. One can read
it and at the conclusion know abso-
lutely nothing about Fascism. There
are no explanations Of the economic
causes Of Fascism and not even a
narrative of events that took place
in the labor movement in Italy m the
hectic months Immediately preceding
the Mussolini coup d'etat.
Signor Por says he re-read Machi-
avellrs The Prince and A. E.'s The
National Being in order to detach
himself from history In the making.
His book bears eloquent testimony Of
the fact that he succeeded admirably
in detaching himself not only from
history in the making but from all
other history and even plain horse
sense. He holds that Machiavelli's
theory Of resorting to any means to
the end in defending the nationalism
Of Italy is justifable and that Mus
solini adopted this policy, which ac-
counts for his success.
In all the literature Of Fascism
there is not one single work in the
English language that deals with its
economic foundation. Some writers
call Fascism purely middle class
movement, others a new labor move
ment, others purely industrialist, and
few bourgeois historians see in
Fascism the solution of all ills aris-
ing from the war. Even many Com
munist writers visualize it as purely
middle-class. They mistake the mass
supporters of Fascism for the eco
nomic basis of it. Fascism in Italy
had its origin in the industrialist
north and Mussolini was the spokes-
man for the heavy industrialists long
before there was a Fascist movement.
No one has yet written book show
ing how Mussolini consistently rep
resented the interests of the heavy
industrialist capitalists against the
agrarians. 1t is not mere accident
that Mussolini played the turnkey Of

CARELESS AUTO
DRI Y ERS ARE
CAUSE WORRY

Although the majority of motor
vehicle accidents arc caused by
failure to signal properly, drivers
are becoming more careless than
ever, according to reports maze to
the Automobile Club of Southern
California. This costly negligence
is becoming more marked m spite
of repeated warning on the part of
authorities and the fact that d mo-
torist failing to signal properly ON
turning is culpable in ease of ac-
cident.
One report made to the au.o club
extended over four years of check
ing cars turning at prominent cor
ners in Southern California. Dur
ing the year 1920 one in every IL
drivers failed to signal properly.
These dcrilections have grown more
common until at the present the
check shows that one driver i'll five
is guilty of this breach of law.
No particular class of drivers is
named. Limousncs are equally
guilty with flivvcrs, and male and
female display similar disregard
for safety. 1t has been suggested
that unless all drivers make proper
signals, "a drastic campaign be insti-
tuted to enforce this necessary reg
ulation to safe driving.
