the vilest kind of treachery and fabri-
cations.
The joint action committee was &C.
cused by a Forward pen prostitute Of
having squandered from a quarter OF
a million to a half million dollars dur
ing the last fight. But this scoun-
drelly lie could not be made to stick.
The report of the union officials
showed, in minute detail, how the sum
total Of their expenditures, $4,000,
had been obtained and spent. And
instead Of creating distrust, the For
wards succeeded in creating only an
CRY feeling and bilarity. These repre-
sentatives and cohorts of the worst
thieves in the union wrapped their
ulcerous political bodies in the toga
Of outraged virtue and honest indigna-
ton. The Forward, the ten-storted lady
Of thousand perversions, began TO
protest its virtue!
Where the left wing opened its ec-
counts, their challenge to the former
administration to account for the
$27O,O they spent to fight the rank
and file, and for the thousands in addt
ton spent by the individual locals in
the same manner, was conveniently
ignored. These gentlemen, compared
to whom Tartuffe was a Saint Fran
els, also forgot the quarter OF mil
lion dollars which Perlstein squan-
dered during the dressmakers' strike
in Chicago, for which he never gave
an accounting. Or for the half mill
lion dollars which Fineberg spent In
the notorious 'stoppage" of the cloak
makers in New York.

In 1921 industrial production stood
al. less than 15 per. cent of the 1913
output. During September last, the
last month of the Soviet fiscal year,
production had advanced to 50 per cent
Of the monthly rate for 1913.
&. Industrial Production Increase.
Industrial production for the fiscal
year 1924-25 increased nearly so per
cent over the previous year, according
to estimates. Grain production in
creased so per cent and is estimated
at So per cent of the pre-war crop in
the present territory of the Soviet
Union. The crop Of 1925 is given al
2.732,00o bushels. The technical
crops. including potatoes, sugar beets,
fax, hemp, oil seeds and cotton, have
passed the pre-war average for the
Russian empire. The potato crop last
year was two and a fifth times the
pre-war crop, oil seeds two and half
times. Sugar beets were 65 per cent
bales, as compared with a pre-war
average of $4,000 bales. Flax and
hemp were above the pre-war figure
Livestock attained the pre-war total
except for horses, in which the esti
mate was 25,O00,OO0, as compared
with 31,OOO,OOO in 1913. On the other
hand, the number of tractors on farms
had increased twenty-five fold.
Railway mileage last year was
about 5000 miles greater than pre-

ARTICLE III.


Two projects of symptomatic impor-
lance were framed on the basis of the
extension of the T. U. movement in
to new lands: ~ The Pacific con-
ference of working class organiza-
lions called on the initiative of the
Australian trade unions; ~ the
Pan-Asiatic congress Of labor unions
convened on the initiative of the In
dian and Japanese unions. Both are
as yet projects only, but it may be not
ed that while the first aims at link
ing the working class organizations
only, certain prominent leaders of the
reformist T. U. movement of Japan
are dreaming of a Pan-Asiatic confer
ence attended by representatives of
the workers, employers and govern
ments on the type of the Geneva labor
office of the league of nations.
But, apart from the dissimilar ma
ture of both conferences, they show
that outside Europe there are plenty
working class organizations which
have had the problem of the interna-
tional labor movement thrust on their
notice and which are now beginning
to look in their own way for some So
lutions to this problem.
With all their essential differences
both conferences are symptomatic as
denoting that the trade unions Of
fresh countries are about to enter
the arena of the international T. U.
movement with their own demands,
their own requirements, and their
own views.
American seamen's Conference.
Another very illuminating circum-
stance pointing to the awakening of
the workers of these new countries is
the All-America Seamen's conference
to be held in Montevideo on the 18th
of March of this year. 1t was to have
met in Havana, but the wild persecu.
tions of the Cuban workers by Anne
rican Imperialism put it out of the
question.
Amsterdam Notices Orient.
Up TO twelve months ago the East
simply did not exist for the Amster.
dam International, but since the Chi
nese labor unions joined the r. |. l.
U. and the Chinese workers have
shown that they represent a force to
be reckoned with, Amsterdam has
reused itself and begun to play ur
to the Indian trade unions, many OF
whose leaders are, as is we'll known
promising young reformists. OF course
the Amsterdam International had nc
wish whatever to do with the Chi
nese labor unions that had appealed
for help to the European workers
What could Amsterdam have TO dc
with any struggle against imperial
ism?
Amsterdam Avoids Struggle.
The mere mention of struggle is
enough to upset the digestion OF the
Amsterdam leaders and break in or
their peaceful snobbish, well-beinl
that abhors disorder, disquiet and dis
regard of existing laws, especially
when'the people who violate them are
wild. uncultivated" workers. How
be It, we are confronted with a de
yelopment of the labor movement in
the non-European countries and an
urge towards international federation
which faces the II. |. l.. u. with the
many tasks we now propose to deal
with.

But cloth won't break.
In union, strength
And hope is found.
Hold firm; at length
To win you're bound.
You downed your tools

The handbook gives an explanation
Of the system Of producing trusts and
marketing syndicates in the socialist
state, and explains the regulations un-
der which production and trade may
operate, and the concession system.
The growing Importance in the ma
tional economy of the cooperative or
CARNATIONS, with their 22,000,000
members. receives considerable at
tention. The consumers co-operatives
ran $4,000 stores in 1925 and had
business turnover of a billion and
half dollars. The rapid rise of the
Soviet banking system and the devel-
opment of the Soviet budget are fea-
tured in the handbook. 1t is explained
that Soviet currency has now been on
gold basis for two years.
The foreign trade turnover for the
fiscal year 1924-25 is valued at $685.
631 900, an increase Of SO per cent
over the previous year, and nearly
half of the 1913 figure. Imports ex-
ceeded exports by $65,500,OO0.
Imports on Increase.
The imports by countries show an
interesting shift as compared with
pre-war days, from Germany to the
United States. In 1913 Germany fur
nished 42.6 per cent Of Russian i'm.
ports, last year 16 per cent. In 1918
the United States furnished 81 per
cent of Russian imports, last year 80
per cent. Soviet customs figures show
imports from the United States for
the year of $96,949, 800 and exports
of S10,902,00 as compared with re-
spective figures of $40 900 and ST.
100000 in 1913. Cotton, machinery,
J tractors, motor cars, trucks and met
1als were the principle purchases in
the United States, and furs, many of
which were shipped via Latvia, Ger
many or England, and therefore did
not figure on the Soviet customs list
of exports to America, formed the
principle items of export.

ALFALFA WEEVIL
CONTROL FILMED

"Alfalfa Weevil Control" a new
motion picture Of the United States
department cf agriculture, gives a
general idea of how to combat the in
sect and is Of particular interest, in
western states. Alfalfa is described
as the foundation Of agriculture in
the west-"A hogs idea Of Heaven
and as one Of the worlds most
valuable forages. About 1904 or 1905
the alfalfa weevil, which belongs to
the same family as the cotton boil
weevil, was discovered in Utah.
Since that time it has spread slcwly
but steadily until now it q found in
seven states. Because of the impOr-
lance Of the alfalfa crop, the alfalfa
weevil constitutes a serious menace.
Several states enforce quarantine re-
stritions to prevent further spread Of
the insect, and the luggage Of auto
mobile travellers is often examined.
Two measures Of control are shown
in the picture. busting with powder
ed arsenates is still in an experiment
, al stage but appears to have promise
Of proving effective. The use Of
poisonous sprays has proved It's
worth and is particularly recommend
: ed. Several types Of sprayers are
shown, including one with a very
4 wide boom. Several scenes showing
sprayed and unsprayed fields, side
: by side, are particularly interesting
in depicting the benefits Of this meth

ally considered sufficient to permi
plants to make new growth, and pro
tects the second crop as well as th

OUer-C Civilization Chief Menace
To Nation, Says Famous Author

Our civilization carries wluain l.
the seeds Of its own destruction,
thinks Harold Bell Wright, most
popular living novelist. IN a recent
interview Mr.. Wright deplored love
Of luxury and the falling away from
the stern ideals Of the nations
founders.
"The bitter necessities of their
lives, their struggles for existence
with nature and with savage enc
mics, developed physical qualities Of
endurance and strength which
brought with them their moral cOun-
terparts. There was no place for the
'Weakling; the dishonest and the de-
generate were given short shrift.
The physically and morally unfit
perisned in that early struggle. In
the main it was the men Of purpose
and strength who survived; who be-
came the nations founders.
"Today all that is changed. Our
vast material development has made
life soft. It's prizes are quite as
much for the willy as for the
strong.
"TWo main effects have flowed
from this materialism. Cunning, il
some measure, has superseded
moral and mental vigor as a requi-
site for success. And the idea of an
l~exacting but benevolent God has
been thrust back out Of the everyday
consciousness Of the race. Material
developments, large cities and build
!ings, marvellous transportation IA
fcilities, an ordered cOmplexity Of
life, give men the illusion Of secur.
! ity, Of self-sufficiency. 1t is only
with the c~atastrOphies Of earth
quake, flood or fire that they realize
ne is an illusion. The ideal Of the
home is less real since men no Longer
have to fight to preserve it. The
conception Of the family as a uni
has weakened in proportion as it hal
ceased to be menaced. Concerning
the moral health Of nations, it seem
that nothing fails like success"
"What is the remedy for this con
| ditiOn?" we asked.
"The claiming Of our inheri
'tance," replied Mr.. Wright. "0u
fathers and grandfathers were tn
pioneers and we are the sons Of on
fathers. Latent in us are the sam
qualities which necessity evoked i
them. This inheritance Is the under

cit would seem not" Mr.. Wright
answered, smiling, eff there is any
significance in the number Of mes
sSges Of approval I received when
the book was published. People in
every part Of the country sent me
greeting cards. They had caught
the plea for a retaining Of our au@
but-lost inheritance which is the un!
derlying ideal Of the book. And on
these greeting cards, reaching me
on holidays and between holidays
they had written a word or two Of
approval and encouragement. This
was a deep pleasure to me. The
