lea, who have established their control
over the home country with hired,
armed force of police and army, now
need equally a travelling armed
force-a navy and marines. These
are formed, and when foreign peoples
object to the taking of an oil field or
to some other exploitation method,
the travelling" police is sent to en-
force the will of the capitalists. The
navy is the travelling -salesman-of-
last-resort" of the American capital
lists.

But the agents of the American
oligarchy are not the only ones who
are seeking fields abroad. Other
capitalist countries are ruled by
financial kings who also are feverishly

can't make more goods at profit, so
they close down. Or, if the American
capitalists win, the Germans have the
trouble.
That So-calIed LAST War"
Ten years ago on this fourth day
of August, pistol-shot picked off a
gold-braided agent of Austro-German
Imperialism in little ouHof-the-way,
jerk-water town of Sarajevo, in the
Balkans. In the natural" course Of
life, it shouldn't make the slightest
difference whether one royal buffoon
among the worlds 1,750,O0O,00O popu-
lation remained alive or dead. But
this royal buffoon, the Archduke Fer
dinand, represented a whole complex
system of Austro-German imperialism.
In his gold-braided body was assaulted
the whole complex structure of COM
mercial-financial ambitions of German
and Austrian capitalists. In his
death was blow, more symbolic than
real, at the hopes of Berlin manu-
facturers and finance-capitalists for
the sale of pots and pans and che
misses, and the investment of railroad
engines in Asia Minor, and the corol-
Larry ambition to dominate the Balkan
peninsula as the road to that market
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-26

And so the world war began.
1t is sleepy fool indeed who does
not at last know that the great finance
capitalists of each country control
the government of that country, and
that thru the mouths of their govern
mental puppets the great capitalists
give commands to armies and navies,
TO go hither and yon, 10 make war
and to make peace. The armed
forces of each country are to the
great capitalists of that country
simply an enlargement of what the
corps of gunner were to the poultry
king" of the slums of New York.
Aiming the Millions.
But with the strain OF world com
petition, the finance-kings try to
crush each other by having the big
gest army. In a certain stage they
hire as many wage-soldiers as they
can get; then in a later stage, theS
seize whole population and by force
compel every able-bodied young man
to become conscripted gunman for
them. Whole populations are thrown
at each others throats.
The travelling statesmen are rein
forced; machine guns take the place
of sample-cases; gun-pointers take
the place Of mining engineers.
In August and September, 1914, the
inhabitants of Europe and half of
Asia driven into the slaughter such
as no savage in the jungle could view
without trembling. Ten million men
were killed and many millions more
left alive in mutilated condition.
More and more millions were brought
into the fire. The German financial
barons, with their aristocratic part
ners, coldly played the chess-game OF
death with SO many millions here,
so many there, so many HIVES for

KEEP THIS IN MIND

Every voter should keep in mind a
few highly important facts recently
expressed by Senator Smoot during a
running debate in the Senate. Senator
Jones of New Mexico, Democrat, had
criticised the Republicans for paying
off the National debt too fast. Senator
Smoot had explained that the Republi
cans were trying to reduce taxes as
we'll as pay off debts, and, speaking
of the rapid reduction of the debt
said:
I do not think there is anyone
in the country who realized that
the business of the country would
increase as 1t did and enable us to
collect the amount of money un-
der the existing law that was col
lected. Eenators will remember
the amount that was given as the
estimate of receipts during the
year 1922. The amount collected
has exceeded. every estimate in
every case, beginning with the
amount estimated to be collected
by the tariff down through every
section of the revenue law. AS
the Senator from Massachusetts
has said, we would have had a
bill passed to reduce the taxes for
the year 1928 to the extent of rs
per cent, but it failed of enact
ment before March Is. However,
the Senator knows that such
provision is incorporated in the
revenue bill that has just been
reported to the Senate
There you have an important differ,
ence between Republican and Demo
cratic fiscal policies and results. The
Democrats always get less revenue
from their legislation than they ex,
pect; the REPUBLICANS get more. The
Democrats get less because their laws
discourage business; the Republicans
get more because their legislation en-.
courages business.
Which policy will you vote for next
November?

STONE WILL ASSIST DAUGHERTY PROBE
Promises Aid in Prosecution Of
 M. s. Dausherty

Washington, April %. Attorney 1 General Stone has agree dto have the department of justice aid the senate Daugherty investigating committee in l litigation arising from the at tempt to punish M. S. Daugherty, brother of the former attorney gen. eral for his refusal t, testify. The arrangement is understood to have been effected after seevral con- ferences between membrs and officials of the justice department. Soon after he took office, MT. Stone indicated that he was willing to cooperate in every practical way toward disclosure of the full facts as to the questions under investigation.
 M. s. Daugherty, who ignored two committee subpoenas and also failed to produce the records of his Midland National bank at Washington Court house, Ohio, was arrested yesterday in Cincinnati on a warrant issued under a senate resolution citing him for contempt. He secured his freedom on a habeas corpus writ. and is to appear in the federal court at Cincinnati on May 10. A department of justice at torney may be present at that hear ing to look after the interests of the committee and of the senate, but de- tails are yet to be worked out.
 Chairman Brookhart said today that he sought Mir. Stones assistance yes- terday after the federal court at Gin cinnati had acted. The attorney gen eral and Assistant Attorney General Seymour, he said, agreed after a con- ference to have the department defend the senate's right to arrest and hold the witness.
 The Midland bank has a restraining order. returnable at Washington Court house on May 10. before a local court, preventing the committee from going into its books. The department of justice may also take care of this In addition the Western Union Telegraph Co.,, has refused to give the commit tee telegrams it is seeking but pro- cedure against that corporation has not yet been called to NIT.

good, experience has shown that a six per cent income by railroad enables the company to pay both its prefer red and common stockholders very handsome dividend on their stock.
 Although this bill was met with considerable opposition by the rail- road companies the speaker cited two supreme court decisions whereby the courts upheld the bill as both consti- tutional and fair to the companies and the public. In one of the decisions handed down by the courts they de- 1 cided that a profit in excess of six per cent had at no time belonged to the carriers and that for this reason the clause in the railroad bill of 1921 which stated that any profit in eX- cess of six per cent should be divided evenly between the railroad and the government was perfectly fair and constitutional.
 In closing the speaker said that he looked for no railroad legislation in the present congress and that if there was none the railroad outlook was op- timistic.
