world that fascism was stable and
that the opposition has not been able
TO seriously iniure the Mussolini die
tatorship.
TT was proven recently in articles
! written by bourgeois journalists
that Mussolini has juggled the treas

inevitable disaster
MAYOR HYLAN Of New York is
4s4 candidate for the mayoraIty to
succeed himself The fight is now in
TIE primary stage and Tammany is
out for Hylan's scalp. Hylan and his
-lTammany opponent are birds Of
feather. They only disgree over the
division of the spells of office While
Hylan claims to be a progressive, he
Is really clever reRotionary. His
main platform is q i've cent fare and
abuse Of the ~raction interests"
HYLAN Is supported by William
J. Randolph Hearst, who has pri-
vate feud on with AL. Smith, governor
Of the state. Between the Tammany
candidate Walker and Hylan his op-

who will place the interests of the
workers as his first and only consid-
Bration, is the standard bearer of the
Workers (Communist) Party.
A NEWSPAPER correspondent by
a the name of Walter Duranty,
sends a very interesting dispatch
from Moscow. Duranty returned to
The Soviet capital after a years abb
bence. He finds conditions have
changed considerably for the better
during tho year. Large buildings are
being constructed also several lines
of auto buses and taxi cabs and
many street car extensions. There
are more shops than ever and the
people have generally cheerful ap-

bumper crop. This is estimated at
200 200, 900 bushels. This will permit
the export OF quarter of million
bushels, while leaving the govern.

lion bushels. The reporter found the
children plump and healthy and the
number of beggars. which were a pest
during the days Of czardom, consider
ably decreased.
GUARANTY says that there are now
