AFFORD TO the agriculturists the facili-
ties for exercising powerful and con
slant influence upon the general poll
tics in every country and above all,
upon agrarian policies, the congress
resolves to found the black ~agrarian
International: N
I. To organize Genital unions of the
agricultural organizations in every
country.
2. To create agricultural groups in
the parIiaments, uniting the represe n
tatives of agricultural and kindred in.
terests without distinction of political
convictions, for the purpose of con-
slant cooperation.
8. To remind the agriculturists that
at parliamentary elections they
should demand from all candidates
formal pledges to defend the interests
of the agriculturists.
4. To establish an international or
ganization whose task will be to
establish constant relations among
all the central agricultural institu-
tons and organizations of the coun-
tries.
In other words, they are trying in
league with industrial and financial
capital, and with the active support
of the state, to create something like
worldwide agrarian trust.
THE attack is directed not only
1 against the toilefs, but partly also
against the petty nercantial bour.
geoisie.
OF course, all this cannot be fully
realized by the landlords under the
conditions of the capitalist regime
with its inherent antagonisms. Never
theless this is certainly no utopia.
We see already IN Germany how
these attempts are Being carried out.
It is to be regretted that this does
not attract the due attention of our
German comrades. The Iandbund of
the junkers. having secured control
Of the distribution lof agricultural
credits by amalgamaHng the peasants
credit organizations With the "Renten-
bank" has succeeded in laying the
foundation for theSs German agrarian
trust. In Berlin the landbund OF the
junkers has established a gigantic
bread factory; in Pomerania II has
already organized its sugar refineries;
1t is now organizing a number of
different factories for the conversion
of agricultural products and its own
buying and distributive agencies, and
its dictatorial appetites grow day by
day.
Altho the wholesale purchasing ex-
pertinent Of the Cooperative Alliance
Of London does not convince us of
any serious success to be achieved
by the landlord organizations in this
direction, nevertheless It ought to be
borne in mind thatlthese actions will
create fairly strong Illusions among
the peasant masses and will contri-
butte to the STRENGTHENING of the hold
of the black agrarian reaction upon
the toiling peasants.

THE month of November seems to
l. show a slight recession in produc-
ton and trade as a whole, from the
month OF October. In comparison to
November of last year, however, it
continues the Upward tendency Of
American economics which has dom
mated during 1925. Profits continue
to be announced in unprecedented
volume. Basic and key industries
claim that production will continue
upward in the next few months.
American capitalism is in a jubilant
and holiday mood. Following are
some of the specific reasons for the
joyous sounds that come from Wall
Street.
Iron and Steel.
The American Iron and Steel In
stitute reports production of steel in
gots for November (25 days) at
3,9O7,353 tons, compared with October
(27 days. 3,S93,O2S tons, and Nov.
1924 (25 days. S,121,149 tons. In daily
average production, with percentage
of change, this gives the following
comparisons;
Daily Production Of steel Insots.
November, 1924 ...........124,S46 tons
October, 1925 ...............144,186 tons
November, 1925 ...........156,294 tons
Percentage increase.
November over October 1925, 8 per
cent.
November, 1925 over November,
1924, 25 per cent.
Unified orders of the U. S. Steel
corporation increased during Novem-
Der by almost half million tons over
October.
If December production equals that
of November, the year 1925 will be
the high record for all time for steel
production, being half a million tons
greater than the peak production of
the war years. Operations in Deem
Der began at 81 per cent of capacity.
Railroads.
Traffic continues at high figures.
For the last week in November, car
loadings were lis per cent above the
average for the past six years.
The increase for the whole year
1925 to the end of November is even
greater, being 14.S per cent above the
six year average.
Gross revenues of railroads for the
ten months ending Nov. /, were more
than $5,OOO,OOO, 900, representing an
increase over the six year period of
6.4 per cent. At the same time, ex-
penses of operation showed a decided

Total ......$7,449, 1913, 766 $6,632, 2S5, O5S
Thus, the total foreign trade in
creased by over 500 million dollars,
but less than half of this increase was
in the exports.
New capital fiotations for October
and the ten months give the following
interesting comparison between total
and foreign investments:
October ,s.s 1925. as.. 1924
Total new
capital ..,..,.$42S,144,154 $6S2,9O6, 1874

capital. s4,s5O, SS4,554 ,$4,75s, 4S6, $40
Foreign :. SO7,O69,OOO S0S,105, 800
The year as a whole thus keeps
about equal to last year in the export
of capital. The apparent drop in Octo-
Der is due to the fact that last year
the month included the big loans bas-
ed upon the Dawes plan, while this
year the month is only an average
one. Present financial and political
disturbances are undoubtedly check
ing the flow of loans abroad, but this
is only temporary-new Dawes plans
for France and other countries will
make way for the continued flow of
dollars.
Employment, Wage Rates and
Earnings.
While production has been expand
ing at such phenomenal rates, en-
ployment Of labor has not followed the
same course. The increased produc-
ton has been accomplished by the in
classification of labor. This fact is
brot out by the following figures, in
which, altho the index for employment
is based on 1928 while that of produc-
ton is based on 1919 therefore the
absolute figures are not comparable)
yet the degree of change shown by the
two sets of figures are valid for COM
parison. The figures are:
1925 1924
Sept. Oct. Oct.
Mfg. production ..........122 1873 121
Total number e
employed ....................... 81 go 8S
From September to October, employ
ment increased only one point while
production increased Is. From Octo-
Der, 1924 to December, 1925, employ
ment gained points, while produc-
ton advanced II.

sity Of international action against
their oppressors. This article re-
views the struggles of the land work
ers and shows them the way. The
concluding instalment follows:
TINE landlords in a number of coun-
4 tries where { he land question
drives the peasant masses towards
revolution, in order to gain favor at
least with prosperous elements of the
village, have agreed to the alienation
of an insignificant part of their estates
for the purpose of distributing this
land among the peasants on the basis
of purchase, while at the same time
they are trying to increase their
landholdings at the expense of the
crown estates. After all is said and
done, this measure can in no way
solve the land question, but for some
time it will no doubt foster the illu-
sion among the peasants that they
would get the desired land allotments
in a peaceful way.
The exposure of this astute ma
newer of the landlords is task of
prime urgency for all the revolutionary
elements of town and country. At the
same time it should be clearly pointed
out that this maneuver is not in
tended to obviate the land-famine,
but to benefit only a small group of
the peasant population.
Furthermore, in the fight for the
peasantry, the landlords are trying
to get entirely into their hands the
distribution of the state credits
granted for the assistance of agri-
culture.
TN bidding for the support of the
peasantry, the landlords are now
playing the trump card OF credits,
and the Warsaw congress, discussing
the question of credits, arrived at the
following decision: Whereas agri-
cultural credit constitutes the most
powerful factor towards the success
full development of agriculture. and
whereas the proper organization
thereof calls for the existence of a
central crediting organ in every coun-
try, the conference therefore con-
siders desirable the creation of close
permanent contact among the respec-
tive organs Of all countries for the
formation of an international institute
Of agricultural credit, and the con-
gress instructs the international
agrarian commission to convene for
this purpose special conference.
This means paving the ground for
the big agrarians to !. become the
guardians Of the peasant masses in
need of credit during the period Of
somewhat stabilised capitalism.

EXPENSIVE PROGRESS

Progress Of the Wisconsin political brand is an
expensive luxury Most citizens of the Badger state have
been more or less vaguely of this fact for
siderable time.
Every year when tax paying time comes around they
momentariy acutely conscious of it; when progres
sive legislatures swelling the bill and increasing
the state with regard for any other element of
taxation they uneasy sensible of serious apprehen
sion.
For that kind of progress does cost money Each
splendid forward stride toward state socialism, toward
interfering with the individual in the conduct of his af
fairs, toward pulling the ctizenry heavenward by the
boot straps requires board commission bureau
with a we'll paid chief or chiefs in charge And each
board commission bureau requires well paid secre7
tares and clerks and senogaphers and inspectors and
what not
And these things cost money. And, although our
progressive statesmen do not discuss the fact it is in
conference.-the that the only way for the state to get
money to pay for them is by taxing its people.
Perhaps, if these various additions to the public
pense were producing clearly beneficial results if the
condition OF the people notably improved through
their exertons might reconcile ourselves to their

pie have actually suffered a result
Roy P Wilcox, by his dramatic exhibition of the
state pay roll is bringing the facts of administrative
tTavagance close home to the public mind A realization
of the great army of state employees and officials and the
political value of well disciplined support of that mag
nitude is going to illuminate the minds of the citizens
who have before remarked been but vaguely conscious

have paid heavy bill.
Nominating and electng Mr. Wilcox will be the first
blow to emancpate the state from this control If the
power of the Madison crowd is shaken at this election it

state elections
On the other hand if the candidate, hand picked by
these rulers is successful at the special election it will
