some accusation of Communism, but
he is not fooling his followers, and
least of all is he fooling the steel trust

henchmen who run the republican and
democratic parties.
The class lines have been drawn
tighter in Minnesota by the entry of
the workers and farmers into state
politics with a mass party of their
own than ever before, not barring even
the pre-war period when the socialist
party had strong following in the in
dustrial centers.
In the ranks of the party itself the
division is still proceeding, not by the
oretical discussion, but by the expert
ence gained in meeting the practical
problems of the struggle.

Historical Description
The description Of the history of
these five cities is a story of the strug-
gle which the Russian masses waged
to insure their Soviet state against
world capitalism. For example, we
learn of Kharkov, 'sOn the 18th of
November, 1917 the power of the So
viets was declared under the leader
ship Of Artyem and the first Ukrain-
ian central executive committee of
the Soviet Ukraine was formed. In
the beginning of April, 1918, Kharkov.
was occupied by the Germans. After
their retreat in the middle of Novem-
Der of the same year the town, as also
the whole Ukraine, came under the
rule of Petlura. In the first days of
1919 the Red Army took Kharkov,
where a Soviet government was form
ed with Rakovsky as president. In
the end of June the same year Denikin
occupied the town, but had to evacuate
1t on the 18th of December. In the
beginning of 1920. Kharkov was finally
proclaimed the capital of the Ukranian
Soviet Republic" sig
And so it is with the other four
cities, all of which are rich in revolu-
tionary history. Because of its treas
ure fund OF facts onDallgphases of the
Soviet Union, this guide book is
valuable not only asa reference book

SECOND ARTICLE.

EXAMINATION of the Minnesota
- farmer-labor movement as it ap-
pears in action in the present primary
campaign in which Magnus Johnson
is opposed by Thomas Davis, lawyer,
discloses some important facts from
which we can draw some valuable con-
illusions.
First Of all it is noticeable that the
development of the movement to the
point where it appears as a political
party opposed especially to the repub-
lican party which the Minnesota mass
es, particularly the farmers, have sup
ported for decades, has not precluded
the entry into it of elements which
are not only foreign to the most lib
eral conception of what farmer-labor
party should be, but which have defed
even the very loose discipline of the
organization and are endangering its
success in the present campaign.
THE Davis forces have taken advan-
l tage of the primary law to disobey
the decision of the party convention
which nominated Johnson by an over
whelming majority and are really do
ing the work of the republican ma
chine inside the farmer-labor party.
Davis is supported by the worst ele-
ments in the ranks of the workers and
farmers, labor officials and rural poll
ticians, the offscourings of the defunct
nonpartisan league, careerists of the
worst type whose sole desire is to get
into Office and grab something for
themselves.
TT is very doubtful if any consider
L able number of this element will
support Johnson in the fall campaign
after Davis is defeated This group is
much closer to the still more reaction
ary bloc which is supporting Leach in
the republican primaries and rejects
entirely the idea of a farmer-labor
party, than it is to the farmer-labor
party of which nominally it is a part.
Both the Davis group and the So
called labor group still farther to the
right consist of former socialist poll
ticians, labor officials and professional
men for whom there is no room in a
close corporation such as the republi-
can machine.
These groups are perhaps the nu-

Ignorance of imperialism, this stage
of capitalism, is boundless. 1t is al
most incredible that one can live in
the world today and harbor such il,
lusions.
CERTAINLY Berger's theory utterly
- ignores the basic principles of
Marxism and the law Of surplus-value,
by which alone can be explained con-
temporary imperialism. 1t is not sur.
plus population that is responsible for
the imperialist policy of nations but
the fact that workers produce far
more than they receive in wages. AS
industry develops this surplus con-
stantly increases.
To avoid the effects of ever recur-
ring crises capitalists are forced TO
combine into trusts, to strive to create
monopolies in order to protect their
investments. These great combines
eventually outgrow the confines of the
national boundaries. The great bank
ing combines under whose influence
great monopolies are created are forced
to export ever greater quantities
of capital. When capital is invested
in undeveloped countries il is neces.
sary to control the political life OF
such countries.
In the case of France after the war
it was essential that if she were to
realize her ambition to become a great
industrial power and secure hegemony
over Europe Ga dream since shattered)
she had to control sources of raw
material. That was one Of the reasons
why she struggled so desperately to
overthrow the Soviets in Russia. Since
she is now challenged in Syria she
fights with every means at hand to
maintain imperialist domination, and
not because she wants territory in
which TO train soldiers for wars on
continental Europe.
pBRGER'S colonial theory ignores
- the class struggle and national
colonial struggles and places imperial
list policies upon an absurd population
theory that harks back to the Dawn
Of the last century and is a vulgariza-
ton even of the ridiculous illusions of
that ancient plagiarist, the Rev.
Nautilus.
Certainly the United States has no
problem OF over-population, but not
even Mr.. Berger can deny its imperial.
list character. American armed forces
did not seize Cuba, the Philippines.
Panama, and Haiti because OF pressure
Of population, but because finance and
industrial capital had investments
there to be protected and wanted 10
make those investments safe for Wall
Street and clear the path for more
investments.
Mr.. Berger vehemently denies any
sympathy with the Bolsheviks and
frequently displays his lack of under.
standing Of even the most elementary
facts Of past or contemporary history
by comparing us to Mussolini and
other capitalist despots, and talking
twaddle about "red Imperialism, but
we assure him that II he would en-.
deavor TO learn the facts about Boil.
shevik theory and practice he would
not make such miserable plumbers
when he tries to talk on international
policy.

MIR. Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee
A'A is the lone socialist representative
in congress. In that respect he is
unique. But his label is the only
thing that distinguishes him from
many of the republicans and demo-
Gratis that sit in that body. When he
discusses political problems there is
nothing whatever in his arguments to
indicate that he is in the slightest de-
gree different from the old party rep
resentatives.
When the question of the French
debt settlement was up in congress
the Milwaukee statesman displayed
considerable German moral indigna-
ton and declared that the recent war
with Germany twas not our war;
(meaning this country's war;. He
further adds that we had no excuse
for going into it because we had no
quarrel with Germany.
Certainly such an attitude displays
pathetic lack of understanding of
the nature of imperialist wars. In his
further argument Mr.. Berger aban.
Ndoned his moral indignation and
stated correctly, albeit poorly and
with an inability to grasp its 'funda-
mentals, that it was the Vaccinations
Of "big business" that got the United
States into the war. If Berger had
said the workers had no quarrel with
the German workers he would have
been right, but the workers do not
control the government of the United
States.
He carefully refrained from expos.
ing the imperialist character of the
war and the role of Wilson and the
United States government in defense
Of the interests in Europe of the
House of Morgan.
A N analysis of the theoretical basis
of his objection to cancellation by
the United States of fifty per cent OF
the French debt brings to light the
fact that this eminent leader of the so
cialist party is utterly incapable OF
understanding the nature of imper-
ialism even to the extent that it is
understood today by every competent
bourgeois historian and economist, not
to mention the MARKHAM writer's.
For him the contributions to the
analysis of Imperialism from the pens
Of Lenin, Hobson. Hilferding, and
even Kautsky, have been in vain. In
assailing the colonial policy OF
France, Berger said in the house de-
bates Of June 2:
ats (France's) colonial empire is
second only to that Of Great Brit
ain, although France does not need
any colonies, for the simple reason
that France HAS NO SURPLUS
POPULATION" Emphasis mime
n. M. W.
Berger misses entirely the historical
role of Imperialism.
He further INDUCES IN absurdities
by declaring that the French are bad
colonlzers because they have a tend
ency to intermarry with the natives
Following this profound and excep
tional observation, for 1t is a known
fact that no other imperialist .citizens
ever marry natives Gas Is evidenced

This guide book to the Soviet Union
which is printed in English, is as the
preface explains, much more than the
ordinary guide book to make travel
easier for touring foreigners.
Records Soviet Advances.
1t records the tremendous advances
made by the Soviet state in the years
since the October revolution placed
the workers and peasants in power.
The advance in science, and the pro
gress of the Soviet state, on all fields,
has of course, been especially rapid
since the end of the attack of the in
ternational bourgeoisie against the
Proletarian Republic, and the famine
which followed. The guide book is a
matter of fact account of the actual
conditions now prevailing in the So
Wet Union and records this progress.
The first section includes a descrip-
ton of the physical geography of the
country, a sketch of Russian history,
the role of the Communist Party in
the Soviet Union, of the Red army.
Of Culture and Education, and of the
condition of agriculture, industry and
trade. This first section alone makes
the new guide book valuable to those
who have no prospect of visiting the
Soviet Union.
Especially interesting is the chapter
on Russian History. The fight be-
tween the merchants and the feudal
nobility for political supremacy; the
part played by the struggle of the
peasants against the boyars and the
Cossack revolts leading to the estab-
lishment of the rule of the czars at
the dawn of the 18th century.
The guide book continues, "The
urban bourgeoisie and the petty aristo-
cracy succeeded in 1913 in browning
an aristocratic merchant named Ro.
manov as the car of Muscovy."
Divine Right Of Romanov.
Thus was established the divine
right" of the Romanovs to play the
part in Russian History of the op-
pressors Of the workers and peasants,
in the service Of capitalism. Other in.
teresting pictures Of Russian History
are briefly told, including the peasant
reyolts, the revolt Of the Dekabrists
in 1905 and the period of the revolu-
ton following the world war.
The second section OF the guide
book gives special information, such
as explanations of weights and meas.
ures, post telegraph, railways and the
Russian alphabet.
Information on Cities.
The rest of the guide book is de.
voted to information about the Ave
largest cities of the Soviet Union,
Moscow, Leningrad, Kharlkov, Kiev
and Odessa. Here the contents por-
tray wildly the differences between
the Soviet Union and the capitalist
states. Instead OF streets named after
captains Of finance and generals who
led imperialist slaughters, we find
Karl Marx Street, Rosa Luxembourg
Square, Karl Liebknecht Street, Lenin
Square, Vorovsky Street. The mark
Of the proletarian state sinks deeply
into every phase Of life in the Soviet
Union.

Economic Theory ola Socialist Statesman

the Philippines where the offspring Of
American soldiers who have deserted
their native wives is one of the crying
problems of the administration of the
islands), Mr.. Berger contradicts his
charge that the French are bad, mean
ing unsuccessful, colonizers, by recit-
ing the ramifcations of the colonial
power of France.
This is followed by another startling
observation:
"For a people of about 100000
(which uses these colonies mainly
as training field for its troops in
the bloody business of war-this
continuous war business Is certain
ly an Improbable business"
TT is not its economic development, its
L growth into an imperialist nation,
that drives the French ruling class
forward to colonial conquest, but the
fact of their being obsessed with a
warlike madness. This purely sub
jective mania for war manifests itself
in the French sending soldiers into
colonies so they may get proper train
ing. 1t was not desire for imperialist
conquest that caused the French to
lay waste Damascus, the oldest city
in the world, over whose streets has
passed the pageantry of all the ages,
but simply the fact that those ancient
buildings furnished good targets for
airplane bombs, heavy and light artil-
cry, liquid fire, poison gas, shrapnel
and bullets.
If the unpopulated Sahara Desert
possessed equally good targets for
practice in warfare the French would
probably have left undisturbed the
populous city of Damascus. The moral
here SENS to be that colonial peopels
should not live In buildings that make
good targets for the French army, or
better still that people should not
erect buildings. In which case the
French could make a deal with Eng
land to use the great sphinx and the
pyramids as largest for practices.
Unpopulated areas would be much
better colonies for the purposes of the
French as interpreted by Mr.. Berger
because there would then be no temp
tation to indulge in miscegenation for
the simple reason that there would be
no natives to marry.
PUT, to get back to the first propo-
- sition of the Wisconsin statesman
Why do the French engage in colonial
conquests at all when they have no
problem Of surplus population? This
Is the real contribution to history and
economies by Mr.. Berger, whereby he
would persuade the French that they
really do not need any colonies until
such time as their population out
grows the boundaries Of their own
country
The fact that French capital grew
from It's competitive to its mopoloistic
stage and that long before the war
great banking combines were organ.
lied that began to export capital to
other countries, mostly in the form
Of loans TO governments, and that as
It's share OF the Versailles loot France
secured colonies in Asia and Africa
in the form OF league of nations man

question, according TO Berger. Ills
