Course of Economic Development in September

These figures do not include gold,
which in the first eight months of
1924, showed an excess of imports of
S256,647 900 while in 1925, gold net
exports were Sal, $4,000, making
net addition to the export of values
in 1925 by the United States of almost
400 million dollars over 1924, for the
first eight months.
Summary.
Only one pessimistic note is sound
ed in the financial and commercial
papers of the American capitalist
class. That is statement made by
c. w. Barron, publisher of Barron's
Financial Weekly, who said:
"Business is too good. It is pros
perity and business expansion that
breed the trouble for the future.
Business is too good when it tempts
large owners of stocks to part with
their shares at rising prices and
tempts the public to go into debt
to buy them"
This statement would seem to be
but a general recognition of the in
evitable cycle of capitalist production
which must sooner or later call a
halt to the phenomenal boom now be-
ing experienced in America. But as
yet there are no definite economic in
dications that this boom has reached
its climax. Both statistical records
and reports from widely separated
cities" says Dun's Review, give in
creasing evidence Of the upward
course of business"

Intrigues Against Labor Unity

cialist" speeches. They advised, how
ever, the workers to vote for Thomas
for mayor.
Thomas made bad break, how
ever, when he burst into white heat
of indignation against Ambassador
Herrick for congratulating the Ameri-
can aviators in Morocco. He forgot
in his excitement to mention that the
French socialists voted deliberately
the money with which to buy these
aeroplanes.
The German socialist Braun was
positively amusing. He boosted for
half an hour about the republic of
Germany, and how the monarchy was
dead. The proof was the fact that
even Hindenburg took the oath of al
legiance TO the republic. Hindenburg'
oath to the republic is no more a
guarantee for it than was Lieb-
knecht's oath to the monarchy;
neither of them meant ii, nobody be-
lieved either of these ''oaths," and IL
was a guarantee for no one except an
out and out imbecile.
WHEN Purcell took the floor the
w workers in the audience receiv-
ed him with the singing of the In
ternational (the socialists seem TO
have forgotten that song) PurcelPs
speech rang with one keynote: World
trade union unity, labor unity. He
didn't mention any names, or any or
CARNATIONS, but he said that he was
fully aware OF the many intrigues
