Kandota township Farmer
Wins Bank Suit Case
Todd County Finds That Aldrich
Note In Little Sank Bank Was
Forgery

An interesting case that took up
the greater of two days of the pres
emit court term was the suit of the
Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of
St. Paul against Chas. l.. Aldrich, of
Little Sauk,. to collect note of $475,
which the. Credit Bank had secured
from the Todd County Credit Com
pany in the course of business.
Aldrich resisted payment on the
ground that his signature was a forg-
cry; that he had never given a note
to the Todd County Credit company
and that the first he knew there was
claim of such note outstanding
against him was when the Little Saul
State Bank failed and an investlga-
ton of it's affairs and those of the
Todd County Credit company were
investigated.
The intermediate Credit Bank is a
government institution organized dur
ing and following the war to meet
the demands for better credit accom-
mediation for farmers. 1t operates by
taking farmers notes from banks and
from credit corporations that are or
ganized for the purpose OF financing
farmers. The Todd County Credit
company was company organized by
L. H. Nelson and "A. H. Hendrickson
to meet the requirements of the gov
eminent as to a local organization
for financing the farmers. The Todd
County Credit company made many
loans for farmers, turning the paper
into the government bank at st. Pau
and thereby getting the money for
the farmers.
When the bank at Little Sank fail
ed the government officials began a
check-up of the paper that had been
turned into it and found numerous
farmers who claimed they had never
signed the notes the government
SOUGHT to collect. Other farmers
claimed that the notes held by the
government bank had been raised
and did not now call for the sums
the original notes had been signed
for. There has been much gossip and
SPECULATION about these transactions.
The government bank sued five or
six farmers in order to bring matters
to a head and to find out where 1t IS
at All, these cases were on the cal
endar of the present term. The inst
case, tried was the suit against Chas.
L. Aldrich.

growth. The Soviet state, is therefore,
faced with the question whether 1t
will invest the net profits which it re-
ceives from industry in order to ex-
tend the Industrial apparatus and re-
new machinery, or whether It will In
vest 1t as trading capital
TINE second method is less advan-
tageous for the general develop
ment Of economy. The Soviet govern
ment will, therefore, to a certain ex-
tent, admit private capital in trade,
in order to guarantee the turnover
of the industrial products, and thereby
the development of industry, and to
promote the exchange between town
and country and, as a result the al
lance between the peasants and the
workers.
Private capital, which is again, to
certain extent, making it's appearance
as a result. of the situation created by
the new economic policy, prefers to
indulge in all kinds Of shady, business
speculations which promise a high
profit, which however attempt to
evade the control Of the state and of
the state economy and disturb and
hamper the general economic con-
struction Of the country. 1t is there
fore in the interest of the Soviet state
to indicate definite field of activity
for private capital, in order to have
the possibility Of constantly control
ling its activity.
The various comrades who spoke
pointed out that if private capital
would abandon it's shady backstairs
speculations and develop its activity
in the sphere indicated by the state,
there would take place certain alter
alton in the policy of the state to-
wards trade-capital. The necessity of
stabilizing the valuta involved an ex-
tremely sharp struggle against private
capital, as the latter's speculative ten
denotes, which were specially directed
towards forcing up prices, were calcu-
lated to endanger the whole stabiliza-

ton reform, which is still the most
important prerequisite for economic
construction. Comrade Scheinmann
stated at the same time, however, that
the pre-condition for another regula-
ton OF the taxation Of private capital
is that private capital keeps its books
correctly. The prerequisite for the
discounting of private trade bills by
the state bank is that these bills are
genuine. Some speakers who came
forward as representatives Of private
capital emphasized the political loyal
ty of the private business people,
whereupon a comrade pointed out
that it was not question Of political
loyalty, but mainly a question OF bust
ness loyalty and the exclusion OF
those jobbing and specializing methods
which are mentioned in the penal
code.
GONE other representatives of priv
~ ate capital attempted in speeches
and questions to complain that in pro-
letarian Russia they had to take sec
ond place to the workers as being
"non-working elements" 1t is diff
cult for them to obtain housing acom-
mediation etc. This called forth
sharp reply on the part of various
comrades. Comrade Scheinmann de-
clared: there can be no talk Of the
government concerning itself with
such questions. 1t is known to all that
the government is conducting pro-
letarian class policy, that it will con-
tinue to do so and that it will give
preference to the workers in every
thing. There can be no talk that the
government is calling for private cap
ital. In the first place 1t does not
need it. 1t can live without private
capital, and If private capital does
not agree to the proposals which are
made to it, then the government VIII
draw the necessary conclusions. Sec
ondly, it is here a question OF busl-
ness. Capital does not come when one
asks for it, but only when it is assured

private capitalists than one ever sees
in Moscow at one gathering, gave a
quite different impression. The new
bourgeoisie have a QUITE different ap-
pearance from that which one usually
associates with the ordinary type OF
bourgeoisie.
Some prominent Representatives of
the economic institutions Of the Soviet
power delivered speeches, in which
they sketched the problem which is
implied when one speaks of the role
OF private capital in Russia. Comrades
Smilga, the vice chairman of the
state commission for planned econ
omy, Scheinmann, the peoples COM
missar for home trade, Kaganovitch,
the vice chairman OF the All-Russian
exchange congress, Schleifer, deputy
peoples commissar for finance, and
Syromolotov, deputy peoples commits
sar for home trade drew attention to
the following facts
The development Of Russian indus
try is proceeding at a pace which,
compared with the .pre-war develop
ment, can be described as rapid. In
the pre-war period an annual increase
of production by to 5 per cent was
regarded as very considerable, whilst
the increase of industrial production
in the past economic year already
amounted to over 80, per cent, and in
the past half of the new economic
year rs per cent, and in various bran
ches of industry even to 40 to SO per
cent. At the same time we observe,
in consequence of the development OF
peasant agriculture, an increased pur-
chasing power and an increased de-
mand for goods in the villages. 1t is
evident that these two factors render
necessary an extension Of trade, and
in particular an increase of the com
mercial apparatus and of the capital
invested in trade. The apparatus OF
the state and cooperative trade, in
spite of the considerable progress
they have already made in recent
times, does not suffice for this rapid

n. r. DAS, head of the Swarja fac
~ ton which succeeded to the con-
troll Of the Indian National Congress
at Belgium in December of 1924, has
given another slogan to the nation,--
that of council-entry "for the purpose
of mending or ending" the present
system of government. He has led his
own particular faction back to the
folds of safe and sane constitutional
ism, away from the stormy sea of
mass-action envisaged in the original
program of incorporation. Both he
and Mr.. Gandhi have repudiated all
forms of direct action, including civil
disobedience and non-payment OF
taxes, and they have automatically cut
off from themselves the very back

BY LEO (Moscow)

a SHORT time ago there was held
4 ! in Moscow an extremely interest
ing meeting. One of the biggest halls
in Moscow was almost entirely filed
with so-called Nep people, as the new
bourgeoisie in Russia are called, who
have ventured to make their appear
ance after the introduction of the new
economic policy, or "Nep." A dis
cussion took place as to the role of
private capital in Russia and the ways
and means in order to attract it to
commerce. The Craftsmanship of this
meeting was in the hands of repres-
entatives of economic institutions of
the Soviet government.
For Moscow, the capital of the
country of the proletarian dictator
ship, such meeting, consisting for
the greater part Of representatives of
private capital, is quite a unique phe-
nomenon. The subject of the meeting,
the role which private capital has to
play under the present conditions in
Russia, where, on the one hand, the
central and most important positions
of economy are in the hands of the
proletarian state and, on the other
hand, the forms of money and goods
economy are still retained, touches
one of the most interesting questions
regarding the economic construction
and economic future of Russia. This
is all the more so as the bourgeois
press abroad and it's social democratic
allies are deliberately spreading all
kinds of stories regarding the role of
private capital and of the new bour-
geoisie in Russia. A favorite method
of their is to represent things as if
Communism and the commencement
of socialist organization of economy
are nothing more than a mere screen

RESPONDING slowly to the pres
~ sure Of events and the spirit of
our age, a labor party has been
launched in India and formally an
nounced during the session recently
concluded of the All-India Trade
Messrs. Lajpat Raj, Sir Sankaran
Nair, Chaman Lal. D. P. Sinha. M. N.
JOSH and other well-known leaders of
the Indian labor world. Reference has
been made to the nature of the dec
larations made by these leaders in the
preliminary conferences which led to
the formation of the labor party.
The prevailing spirit was that of OPP
portunistic nationalism seeking a new
instrument to further its own pur-
poses, rather than the creation of a
truly working class party which would
reflect the genuine interests and as
pirations of the Indian proletariat.
Moderatism and excessive caution
marked the speeches of these pio-
neers of an Indian labor party. The
sentiment was expressed by one of
them that IAN Indian capitalist was
preferable to a British one" and it
was further declared by another that
the newly-formed party should not
over-emphasize the labor point of
view! 1t is considered undesirable by
these new-found champions of the
Indian working class to introduce
into India the doctrine of the class
struggle, or to create such a party
which will in any way jeopardize the
interests and ambitions of Indian cap
italism.
TN such hands, the new labor party
4 will not go very far. The birth of
a political organization of the Indian
workers is a still-birth, and no amount
of theoretical schemes on paper will
succeed in breathing the breath of life
into this defunct embryo.
Yet the growth Of an Indian labor
party is historical necessity, already
long overdue. The position of India
as the seventh on the list of indus
trialized countries of the world, and
her aggregate total of 20,000,000 pro-
letarian workers prove that some or
ganization to express the economic
and political needs of this vast mass
