The index figure for number of
workers employed in New Jersey
(1923-1O0) was 81 in September last
year, and 81. this year, an increase of
4 points.
The total payroll for these same per-
iods was So and SO, an increase of but
Z points, and therefore a positive de-
crease in earnings. The official index
for average weekly earnings, relative
to 1923, showed September last year
poo, while this year it is SO. When
compared with the cost of living here
is clear wage slash of 10 per cent.
In Illinois the average weekly earn
ilgs, (relative to 1920, dropped from
u01 in September 1924, TO 1915 IN
September, 1925. v7e

Production has been increasing by

Not only have money wages been
reduced. Not only have wages been
cut still more thru the higher cost of
living. Also the workers have been
forced to speed up, and in some cases
to work longer hours, so that produc-
ton has enormously increased.
This years mass of surplus values
appropriated by the capitalist class
is doubtless the greatest ever known.
That is why the Wall Street stock
market is so joyous, and why the price
OF stocks has flown skyward. All of
this is "cashing in" on the accumulate
ed and perspective Surplus values"
squeezed out of labor in such rich
abundance during 1925.

EoR capitalism, the key problem Of
economies is, how to increase
profits. And for this, the principal
means is to reduce the proportion
that goes to labor as wages, out Of
the values labor created, and to in
crease the proportion that goes for
interest, rent and profit.
This can be done directly in two
ways; by reducing the wage rates, or
by increasing the intensity of labor.
And there are various indirect ways,
one of which is to keep money wages
stationary while the cost of living
goes up.
All these means are in active oper-
alton today.
Government statistics disclose to
some small degree the successes OF
the capitalists in their schemes for
increased exploitation. In Commerce

The Preface FOR America

TNHE present work is devoted to a
consideration of the ultimate desti-
mics of England, subject that may
be of interest to the American reader
for two reasons: First, because Eng
land occupies very prominent posi-
tion in the world; second, because the
United States and Great Britain may
be regarded as twin stars, one of
which grows dim the more rapidly
as the brilliancy of the other in
creases.
The inference to which | am led by
my study is that England is heading
rapidly toward an era of great revo-
lutionary upheavals. OF course, the
English secret service men and their
American disciples will declare that
l am engaging in propaganda for a
proletarian revolution, as if it we're
possible for an outsider, by means of
pamphlets, to alter the course of evo-
luton of a great nation! AS a matter
of fact, I am simply attempting, by
Analysing the most important factors
in the historical development of Eng
land, to explain the historical path by
which that country will be made to
encounter obstacles-internal as we'll
as external-to its continued exist
ence. To accuse me of revolutionary
meddling in the affairs of foreign
countries. on the basis of such state
mentsy would be almost equivalent to
accusing the astronomer of bringing
about a solar eclipse because he has
predicted it's occurrence.
DUT do not understand me as saying
- that astronomical phenomena are
parallel to the phenomena of society.
The former are accomplished outside
of us, the latter thru our agency.
Which does not mean, however, that
historical events may be achieved by
our mere wish or directed with the as
sistance of pamphlets. Far more
books and newspapers have come out
and are still coming out with the
avowed purpose Of defending and
maintaining capitalism including
British capitalism-than have ever
been published to attack it, Ideas of
any kind may be effective only when
they are based on the material con-
ditions Of Social evolution. England
is headed for revolution because she
has already entered the stage of CAPT
tarist disintegration. If the guilty
must be found, if we must ask: What
accelerates Englands progress on the
path Of revolution, the answer is, not
Moscow, but New York.
This answer may appear paradox
cal, yet it is the simple truth. The
powerful and constantly growing in
fuence of the United States on world
affairs is rendering more and more
impossible and hopeless the situation
of British industry, British trade, Brit.
ish finances, and British diplomacy.
THE United States cannot but tend
= to expand in the world market, fail
ing which its own industry will be
threatened with apoplexy because of
the richness of it's blood. The United
States can only expand at the expense
of the other exporting countries,
which means, particularly, England.
In view of the patented Dawes method
of Harvesting the economic life of an
entire mighty nation in the traces of
American supervision, it almost pro-

on its debtors, or giving them an ex-

to European countries, the United
States is placing them in a gradually
Tightening economic dependence, in
the last analysis an ineluctable situa-
ton, which is the necessary condition
for inevitable social and revolution

ing in cooperation with England thru !

laboration means for England an in-gs
creasing loss of independence. Eng
land is leading the United States to
hegemony, as it were. Relinquishing
their world rule, the diplomats and
magnates of England are recommend
ing their former clients to deal with
the new master Of the world. The
common action of the United States
and England is the cloak for a pro-
found worldwide antagonism between
these two powers, by which the
threatening conflicts of the perhaps
not remote future are being prepared.
This brief preface is not the place
in which to speak of the fate of
America itself. There is no doubt.
that capital today nowhere feels itself
so strong as in America American
capitalism grew marvelously, chiefly
at the expense of the European
belligerents at first, now by reason of
their return to peace" their "rehabili-
tation." But in spite of all its huge
power, American capitalism is not a
self-contained factor, but a part Of
world economy. Furthermore, the
more powerful The Industry of the
United States becomes, the more in
innate and profound becomes its de-
)endence on the world market. Driv-
ing the European countries farther
and farther down their blind alley,
American capitalism is laying the
foundation for wars and revolutionary
upheavals, which in their frightful re-
bound will not fail to strike the econ
omic system of the United States also.
Such is the prospect for America. In
revolutionary development, America
does not stand in the front rank; the
American bourgeoisie will still enjoy
the privilege of witnessing the destruc-
ton of its older European sister But
the inevitable hour will strike for
American capitalism also: the Amer
lean oil and steel magnates, trust and
export leaders, the multimillionaires
of New York, Chicago and San Fran
cisco, are performing-th uncon-
sciousIy-their predestined revolution
airy function. And the American pro-
letariat will ultimately discharge
theirs.
