rs season than they have had for
years. Considering the entire situ-
alton. the purchasing power derived
from this years cotton crop is Of a
very substantial nature. Taking the
cotton-growing South as q whole, the
final purchasing power should be in
excess of that of last year, which, in
turn, was the best since 1890.
Evening star., 1924-11-29

cially gratifying to know that sup
plies of cotton Will be adequate to
furnish consumers with cotton goods
this season, for the country had three
successive crop failures during the
period 1921. 1922 and 1928. Last
years production totaled 10,140,000
bales. Production in 1922 was 9,762.-
900 and the 1921 crop totaled only
7,954,000 bales.
Yield Bringing High Prices.
The South will enjoy nearly as
high value for this years crop as 1t did
for the 1928 CROP even though farm
ers may not be getting quite as much
per unit this year as last. The esti-
mated farm value of cotton as of
December 1, 1923. was $1,563,3470O0.
Prices to the farmer at that time
were ruling around 80 cents per
pound. The per pound price today Is
about 90 cents. In other words, a
reduction of about 80 per cent has
occurred this year in cotton prices
Based on prevailing prices, the farm
er will receive about $1,40S.00O,0OO
for the 1924 production of cotton-a
figure within 10 per cent Of Decem-
ber's farm value last year. Despite
the lower prices and even reckon
ing the total farm value this year
about the same as last, 1T is esti-
mated tnat the actual money received
as profit by the average farmer is
greater than that received as profit
last year. This is because the yield
per acre showed a good gain this
year over last and hence the cost of
production per unit was much lower
Industrial Products Lower.
Another point in favor Of the cot
ton farmer is that prices of indus
trial products have also tended down.

what prepared for Barron's remark
that when he read the stenographic
reports Of Doheny's testimony at
Washington in the oil steal investiga-
ton, he could hear This rugged sincere
voice in denial that his loan to per-
sonal friend of 30 years standing had
anything to do with Doheny's leasing
of the California naval reserve" Hav-
ing swallowed a camel, Barron is not
going to strain at gnat. A man who
can believe Doheny wants to raise the
Mexican people more than he wants
Mexican oil. can believe anything.
OF course Barron may not believe
any Of the nonsense he is writing
about Doheny and his laudable mo-
tiyes He may simply be trying to fool
others. But that is not a necessary
explanation. There is a cult, religion
Of business, which glorifies all its
processes. According to this religion,
business is the architect of ciyiliza-
ton, the source of all material and
spiritual well being. 1t is the fountain
of progress and the indispensable
means of individual and social health.
Barron is high priest of this religion.
1t is conceivable that, like other
priests, he accepts the prescribed ar
ticles of faith.
There has been nothing in the Wall
Street Journal condemning the oil
steals. The only crooks that the Wall
Street Journal knows anything about
are labor leaders who foment strikes,
politicians who oppose reductions in
income surtaxes, and agrarian agita-
tors who tell the farmers that their
troubles are due to something besides
the normal working Of economic law.
Occasionally the paper mildly frowns
on Democratic politicians who accept
retainers from oil magnates. But brib-
ing public officers to procure dishonest
alienation OF public resources does
not apparently meet with it's censure,
provided the alienated properties get
into the right hands. This attitude
does not, however, prove conscious
moral depravity. Il may be only a
result of excessive devotion to the
business religion.
Consider what this devotion entails.

BY ANALYST.

nOPULAR belief has it that there
is no sentiment in business.
There is at any rate plenty of
sentiment in business propaganda. 1t
is pretty well all sentiment, Of pc
culiarly maudlin sort. Apparently the
business mind, which has to be sober
and realistic in dealing with the solid
facts Of industry and trade, functions
in another way when it steps out Of
its own proper sphere. Otherwise its
fantastic childishness in discussing
such questions for example as the
motives of Mr.. Doheny in developing
oil fields is inexplicable.
c. w. Barron, publisher of the Wall
Street Journal and other financial pa
pers, has typical business mind. He
is hard-headed and sober enough when
Analysing economic conditions and
profit prospects. Those are the quail
tiles that have won for the Wall Street
Journal "the richest circulation in the
world" But when it comes to talking
about business ethics, Barron is lu-
dicrously and idiotically sentimental.
He has been writing articles paint
ing Doheny not as profiteer but as
a philantropist. Doheny, according to
Barron, is a pioneer. of civilization It
was in that role that he went into
Mexico. Some years ago Barron made
a trip to Mexico with Doheny to see
some of the latter's oil properties.
When he asked Doheny what he might
say in his papers about the situation
Doheny replied: Nothing about me
or my properties. We can take care
Of ourselves. But help the people Of
Mexico if you can"
Barron pictures Doheny, not as a
profit monger yearning to exploit the
material resources of Mexico, but as
a humanitarian pining tc give the
good people Of Mexico right, justice,
and freedom in a modern system Of
society" Barron says Doheny told
him that to accomplish this end, he
would "sink all his interest on this
coast ten thousand feet deep in this
sea-"
After this effusion one is some

1t rests on the principle that private
business is an absolute good. Conse-
quently anything that promotes pri-
vate business must be good, too. Get
ting valuable public resources into
private hands has this effect. 1t is
therefore not merely defensible but
praiseworthy One who thinks # sin
to keep oil and coal and timber where
profits cannot be got out Of them is
not apt to boggle at any Irregularities
that may be necessary to correct the
evil The end justifies the means. A
devotee of the religion of business
need suffer no pangs Of conscious for
not reprebating the oil steals. They
will probably yield a stream of profits
that will wash away every stain.
Barron and his sort are probably not
aware how ridiculous they look in try
ing to make business look like phil
anthropy. They have to be more or
less under the influence Of their own
sentimentality in order 70 spread it
with an air of conviction. Moreover,
it has the advantage of fooling others
as we'll as themselves, and that is an
important consideration now that
great numbers Of people are getting
suspicious about the truth OF the
theory that business is a beneficent
force always and everywhere. There
is consequently likely to be more
rather than less ilIusioneering about
business in the future But it is worth
while to puncture the pretty bubble
that the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF private
business, however achieved, is neces-
sarily a public benefit.
This myth springs from the assump-
ton that business is synonymous with
production. Secretary of State Hughes
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-30

has stated the assumption in its classic
form in giving his reasons for not
recognizing Russia. Private produc-
ton is not enthroned in Russia; there
fore Russia is an economic vacuum, in
which no production at all is possible.
Since the facts refuted this naive as
sumption, Hughes has not repeated
it; but it lies at the root of the whole
religion of business. For the eleva-
ton Of business into religion, it
must be represented as the sole ef-
ficient agency Of production. It is a
fact that production is the basis Of
civilization. II the Barrons and
Hugheses and other apologists Of CAPT
talism are permitted unchallenged to
make production synonymous with
business, there is no escape from the
conclusion that business interests
should have the right of way over
everything else.
Confounding business, which is
merely one mode of production, with
production itself, enables business
leaders to claim as their work all the
results Of science, invention and la
Dor. It is highly ingenious trick that
has never been sufficiently exposed.
Under certain conditions, production
is impossible except under the leader
ship Of business men. But the world
now has proof that under other con-
ditions, production can be carried on
without their help. This is the truth,
now historically established, that is
destined to shatter the whole fabric
Of business sentimentality. When it is
more widely appreciated, attempts to
show looters Of the public domain in
the guise of public benefactors will be
less successful.

time close attention will be paid to
the petty-bourgeois influences that are
making themselves felt in the party.
Comrade Molotov's thesis takes
cognizance of the fact that certain
elements in the party, petty-bourgeois
in nature and psychology, are inter-
preting this tendency for party-demo-
cracy to mean that the proletarian
dictatorship is to be changed or modi-
fed. The thesis proposes to wage a
relentless struggle against these ele-
ments to the point of completely elm
mating them from the party, if this
should become necessary. Comrade
Molotov's thesis will in all probability
be adopted by the Congress.
Conclusion
Great are the responsibilities of our
Russian Comrades, but just as great
are their opportunities for revolutions
airy service. We are certain that the
Russian Party will successfully solve
its problems and will continue in the
future, as they did in the past, to
guide and promote the efforts of the
revolutionary workers the world over
to destroy the rule of capitalism and
establish the International Soviet Re
public.
