They abandoned some of the most
fertile parts of Morocco at great
cost in money and men, leaving be-

France Exerts Pressure.
Il believe France must have exer-
cised enormous pressure on Spain to
induce her to commit such a ridic-
ulous action. The French probably
threatened to withdraw all of SPANS
so-called rights over Morocco. But
what rights are those? The only rights
that France and Spain have they
derive from this country's weakness.
That weakness will not last forever"
In speaking of the French view
point, Abdel-Krim said:
Fear Moroccans.
"The French viewpoint / under
stand perfectly. France is devoured
with imperialistic ambitions. She is
nation of tremendous military power
and vast colonial aspirations. The
French fear the Riff state because
they know they are insecure in Moroc-
ca, Algeria and Tunis, and they are
afraid to see us elevated into posi-
ton of leadership in Islamic Africa.
France believes that she is colo
NAL power Of the first rank. She
knows better than any other European
nation how to enslave subject popula-
lions and dominate mems souls. For
this reason France fears us and has
decided to destroy us.
Make Peace, or Lose Afrlcai
"If France is discreet she will
make peace this winter. II she does
not make peace she will lose all
North Africa.
I'VE can Withstand ten years OF
such attacks said Krim referring to
the fierce attack of the France-Span-
ish forces on Abd-el-Krim's men, when
the combined fire of the battleships,
fortress on Alcehumas Bay, artillery
and airplanes failed to drive the Riffs
back on Cape Moro Nuevo. "And we
are willing to do so in the defense of
our liberty and honest"

several years investigating the course

Doubtless it was by pre-arrangement
with Lenin that Douglas disclosed
that real wages are four points lower

fore we enter the league
TN an effort to counteract Borahs
appearance in Chicago where he
fired the opening gun in his campaign
against the administrator world
court plan, Senator Geroge Wharton
Pepper, of Pennsylvania, in two
speeches in that city, upheld the
proposition to enter the court, while
still insisting that it is not the back
door to the league.
1t looks as tho at the coming SEES
sions of congress we will have the
spectacle of the democrats support
ing Coolidge against the opposition
within his own party.
For the revolutionist it also bears
out another of our contentious: That
the time is fast approaching when we
will have one reactionary party, rep
resenting finance-capital in the United
States. From present indications the
republican party will fulfill that func-
ton. It's victory over the democrats
in 1920 on the league of nations ques-
ton has placed it in strategic posi-
ton so that it can offer more to Wall
Street than it's competitor which was
revived in 1902 for the specific pur-
pose of serving the interests of the
House of Morgan.
For the Communist it will be
illuminating to watch the antics of
the agents of Imperialism in the Of
fetal machine of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor as they swing from
their traditional support of the demo
cratic party to supporting the repub-
lican party. Already, in the last cleo
ton, we saw tendencies in that direc-
ton, with John L. Lewis of the miners
and even Mother Jones, former Social
ist coming out in support of Coolidge,
while the balance of the officialdom
were reluctantly paying lip service to
the LaFollette movement.
The new political developments in
relation to the world court issue lend
emphasis to the Communist demand
for the creation of labor party that
will break away the masses from the
old parties and mobilize them on a
class basis. When they learn that
they can expect nothing from the Coo
lidges except the most vicious sitting
Of every effort to improve their condi-
tion and when they realize that Borah,
altho he opposes Coolidge on foreign
affairs, is the representative Of in
dustrial capital and is just as deter
mined to crush labor in industry as is
Coolidge, they will flock in millions
to the standard of the labor party.
which is even now being advocated by
thousands of trade unionists in this
country today. Within a labor party,
striving for parliamentary success
they will soon learn the fraudulent
nature of capitalist democracy and,
as the class struggle intensifies, as
it must intensity, be swept toward the
leadership of the Communists, prepar-
atory to storming the final citadels
of capitalism.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 27.-The

lauded today by John E. Edgerton,
president of the National Associa-

Edgerton deplored the trend to
attain pleasures and ease without
having earned them" and declared
that much Of the diseord between
employers and employees was caused
by forces "outside of industry" He

the president himself personally re-
quested Borah to run for vice-presi-
dent. A request for Frank o. Lowden,
former governor of Illinois, and one
of the industrial group, to run also
met with refusal. Every effort was
made to palliate the opposition group
1t is plain that Borah refused because
he could not agree with the policy
being pursued. Charles g. Dawes, a
representative of banking capital, was
chosen as vice-president. Tho still
opposing the league because to sup
port it would split the republican par
ty and because it was not possible
within so short a time to swing public
sentiment back of it, Coolidge and
the official machine of the party &C
cepted only the world court which,
however is an adjunct of the league,
and which as Borah correctly charges,
is the means of entering the league
thru the back door"
Borah, who, in his Chicago speech,
scored the Administrations proposal
to enter the world court, is still up
holding the historic past of the re-
publican party. He speaks for the
industrialists who still resist the
domination of finance-capital.
THAT the United States is deeply
4 involved in European affairs is en-
phasized by the fact that every event
in Europe has its reflex, in one form
or another, in American politics.
Both republicans and democrats
saw in the outcome of the Locarno
conference, vindication of their stand.
Senator Borah, the most able de-
batter on the floor of the senate and
occupying the strategic position Of
chairman of the foreign relations
committee views Locarno as a blow at
the world court. Says Borah:
'lf the court is so good, why did
not the nations signing the Locarno
agreements agree to submit disputes
arising under them to this same
world court? Did they? They did
not. They agreed in matters of dis
pute to select their own arbitraI
commissions.
"They set up a permanent con-
Citation council at Locarno. It
shows, to my mind, that the faith
of members Of the court in their
own creature is not so great"
Senator Morris Sheppard, of Okla
homa, one of the spokesman for the
pro-court group, composed of admin
istration republicans and the demo-
cratic party, who is himself demo-
crat, sees Locarno thru different
spectacles:
"The Locarno agreements confirm
and strengthen the leadership of
the league and show it more than
ever to be a permanent institution.
Arguments against the world court
based on its alleged weaknesses and
ineffectiveness, are shattered by
this latest development | feel GER

THIS GASOLINE TAY

In view OF the proposals of different boards of
county supervisors in California and members of the
STATE ghWay commission to increase the gasoline tax,
the policy of other states is attracting attention The
increase recently in the price of gas also has centered
interest on this matter
Of the 40 states in the Union (including the Dis
rct OF Columbla there IA which have no gasoline
tax at ALL leaving So which use this method of ra snp
funds. Eleven of the 35, nearly one-third have
tax OF one cent gallon. The two cent tax has been
liked IN IA states and nine of the others have high
er tax than two cents. Utah assesses two and half
cents gallon. Seven states charge three cents. and
Arkansas heads the list for heavy taxation of the motor
traveller and is alone among all the states with four
cent tax.
As a general rule the states assessing the heav
est burden the moorSt are those having the least
diversity of taxable property.
One reason assigned by economists for the general
of the gasoline is that it is the most painless
system yet devised for raising it is paid
few cents at time through the year by motorists 1t
IS also pointed out by economists that the virtue OF
any particular form of taxation depends largely on
how the funds raised used. In California, the tax
motor vehicles is devoted largely to maintenance
widening and improving state highways, which proceed
ure is generally approved.
The proposals from parts of the state that
the gas tax be increased for the purpose of raising
funds for highways construction are arousng wide
capital investment and they benefit abuttng
and adjoining properties and improve communities
generally, their cost should be assessed against
only class-he motorists who comprise less than
one-fourth of the population.
Determined opposition to this movement has been
presented by the Automobile Club of Southern Caifor
mia and other prominent organizations the grounds
that such taxation is uneconomic and is justified
from the fact that less than 10 per of the
hcuar travel is state highways and that the motor
ist is already being taxed approximately twice much
for his motor vehicle as for equal amount Of real
estate.

This is normally dull time Of the year in many

the country.
Agriculture, naturally, is more cheerful than it
has been for years.
A banker speaks of the improvement as decor

means fitting appropriate" That is what the
