sequently the military appropriation
can be boosted only gradually. But
the point is that 1t is being boosted.
Every year 1t jumps several million
and always more and more young lads
to become wards Of the war depart
ment for thirty days of the year in the
campus, or If in school, to wear uni
forms each semester.
Not Interested Except in Soldiers.
DUT we have taken pains to make
~ clear that the chief interest of the
War Department is NOT the physical
or mental well-being of its recruits
except insofar as it is necessary for
a good soldier to be strong and fit
physically and of certain mold men
tally.
So that the physical training in the
camps serves two purposes: 1t is
necessary for soldiers to be ft; and
the promise of this fitness iG a strong
urge to the lads and big help to the
War Department press agents.
Building Men" Is Twaddle.
THE War Department is far too wise
l. and ancient a political institution
to spend it's hard earned appropria-
lions on anything except preparation
for the blood baths it has been created
to prepare for. All the twaddle spoken
by the great men of the country from
President Coolidge to President Green
about military training building men"
cannot confront this fact and face it
out.
An Anomaly.
ONE of the anomalies of the situa-
~ tion, however, is this: While the
chief supporters, as we have very we'll
shown, of military training in this
country are the biggest financial and
industrial combines of capital in the
Iand-the American Federation of La
Dor is also on record in favor Of
Citizens Military Training Camps. At
the Ell Paso convention of 1928 a reso-
luton to this effect was passed. In
April 1924 Samuel Gompers submitted
a resolution in the annual meeting of
the National Civic Federation of which
he was a member, urging "all citizens
to continuous cooperation with the
Military Training Camps Association
and the civilian aides to the secretary
of war in encouraging young men to
volunteer for the Citizens Military
Training Camps" Readers of these ar
ticles will recall the identity of the
association referred to by Gompers.
That organization of war profiteers
and jingoes was able to say, on the
strength of Gompers' resolution:
"The above resolution has extreme
weight, since the National Civic Fed

THE only thing that prevents the
! camps from adding to the annual
recruiting total in larger numbers is
the limitation imposed by the fact that
the congressional appropriation grows
much more slowly than the jingoes
desire. For them this. is a sad fact
and they use every possible influence
to make it otherwise. There is a large

into all forms of cooperation, not only
in buying, but also in credit and in
production.
state credit plays a great role thru
the cooperative credit union. The
government gives tractors and ma
chinery on credit, but it gives these
chiefly to collectives, both because
the money serves more people in this
way, and because this is building the
road to socialism.
Lacks of the Present Day.
TIN planning for the future, we must
not forget the chief lacks Of the
present which are ~ unemployment;
(2) high retail prices; 90 goods fam
inc. But in fighting all these the chief
weapon is increase in our state in
dustry, both the big central industry
and the smaller local municipal in
dustries. The number employed in
heavy state industry has increased
from 1924 when it was 100000 work
ers, till now it is 100000 workers.
In all our industry, large and small,
we have now over seven million work
ers. At the same time the number
of unemployed has sunk only slightly
from 76O, 900 to $4,000, as many peas
ants kept coming from the country
in search of work in the expanding
industry.
zone reason why there is not enuf
goods for the demand is that the peas
ant no longer pays so much money to
landlords and government. His tax,
es in 1913 were over ten roubles per
person, but in 1925, only 31s roubles.
Also he has no rent to pay to land
lords. This money paid to landlords
and car, went abroad in large
amounts. Today. the peasant wants
20 buy wares with 1t. So that, even
when our industry passes pre-war pro-
duction, that will not be nearly eruf
for the peasant. Meantime we must
fight high retail prices, which comes
from this goods scarcity, by means of
our co-operatives.

ALMOST BILLION
FOR u. STEEL
IN II YEARS
Gold Sweated Out of
Unorganized Labor

The earnings Of the United States
Steel Corporation for the past eleven
years have been in the vicinity Of a
billion dollars. according to tabula-
ton recently made by Dow, Jones and
Company.
This gigantic open-shop industrialA
octopus has squeezed this fabulous
sum out Of the sweat and blood Of its I
slaves, in addition to princely salaries
to figurehead officials and large Sc
cret fund for spies and anti-labor &C.
tivities in general.
Stockholders Get Theirs.
The exact sum earned by the corpo.
ration in the years from 1915 to 1926
inclusive, is $97S,S37, 25O.
1t has paid to holders of the stock in
this time $415537294, or less than
421a per cent, so that the surplus in
that period has been increased by
$563, 299, 456.
Funded Debt Reduced.
Working capital has been increased
by more than S311 100000 and funded
debt reduced by $4,000, OOO-a total
for these two items of $435,OOO,O00. In
consequence of the reduction in fund
ed debt annual charges have been re-
duced by $7,315,6 41-from S33,321 $50
to $4,000, 349-a saving equivalent to
S1.44 share annually on the common
stock.
Added to Surplus.
In the eleven years a recent tabula-
ton by Dow, Jones & Co., shows
United States Steel has added to sur
plus total of $571 $685. 37, of which
$1S5, 100000 was appropriated for
plant expenditures and the remainder,
1886, 65S,637, held in profit and loss
surplus. The difference of slightly
more than $S,O0O,OOO between surplus
earnings and total additions to sur
plus is due to adjustments made from
time to time.
How the corporation has used this

MTE must now consider the proper
w line for our industrial develop
ment. The capitalist world, for in
stance, would like to sell us cotton
goods But we say: Not so much
cotton goods, but machinery for max
ing cotton goods. Not so much auto
mobiles and tractors, but machinery
for making these things. The CAPT
talist world wants to make us depen-
dent on it. But we wish to be indie
pendent. This is very important to
us; otherwise some day the capital
ist world will suddenly demand the
old cars debt from us, the interest
on which alone is a billion roubles
a year, and we should have to come
under their power or be strangled for
want Of goods.
Policy of Industrial Development.
A T the past party congress there
"A were two theories about the kind
IF imports we should encourage. The
minority wished to admit frankly
bat Russia is an agricultural coun-
ry, export grain and import manufac-
.ured goods. But the majority de-
cided that this would play into the
hands of capitalist nations and place
MS in subsection to them, and that
we must in every way strive to de-
yelop our industry TO meet the needs
Of the country.
"ln this our metal Industry is most
important. For a long time this in.
dustry Jagged far behind all others.
But in 1924 suddenly industry, tran
sport and agriculture all began to
need machines, rails. ploughs, reap
ers. So the metal industry more than
doubled in = single year, but even
then did not reach more than had
pre-war. This rear we expect TO bring
1t to SO per ccnt OF pre1war Some
branches are far above pre-war, as
for instance, farm machinery and i'm.
plements, which is 100 per cent Of
pre-war.
Imports Below Exports.
ut IS also our policy to keep our
imports below our exports. This has
been argued by many, who think II
unimportont. But the majority de.
,ided that It is very important. For
II we sell 100 roublas worth and buy
1875 roubles worth then clearly we
must pay for the rs roubles with gold

8. How Russia is Building Socialism.
BY ANIsE.
July 25.-It's a fairly dry and long
= little booklet-the Soviet primer on
How We are building socialism in our
land" Most of what it tells is known
already to anyone who has followed
Soviet building for the past FIVE years.
Yet it contains in such good compact
form the entire policy of the Commu-
mist Party in the organization of the
nations life, as expressed again at the
last congress, that it is worth not
only reading again but keeping on
file.
The author disposes rather brusque-
ly, of all who say that workers and
peasants interests are opposed For
the average peasant, he says, state
socialism is better than capitalism,
since it is only the rich peasant who
expands under capitalism, while the
poor and middle peasant is helped
more by cooperation.
The worker thru state Industry and
he peasant thru cooperation, are
hand in hand building the socialism
IF the future. This is the chief theme
II the little book.
State Industry Grows.
THE growth OF state owned indus
l. try in a worker-controlled state,
itself a grewth towards socialism,
tates the booklet And since 1921,
our state industry has grown much
faster than private industry From
92l22, the total production of state
industry was only $50 million roubles.
lo24-25 it reached billion 600 mil
ion. This year it was hoped to reach
our billion, and while It will fall
omewhat below this, due to grain ex-
or falling below expectation, yet it
Jill be very far in advance Of the
revious year.
Private industry has also been in
reasing, but in steadily less proper
ION. Two years ago state industry
made up 63h per cent of all produc.
ion, cooperative industry 81, handi-

uction 3ia. Now state production has
"isen to II per cent, cooperative pro.
duction 10 51s per cent, while private
apitalist production has dropped to
3 y per cent OF all production.

Able Detectives Needed

other police work in addition to
vice activity is essential in reduc-
ing crime. An able detective force Is
necessary.
The pictures. records and measure
nents of notorious criminals are all
on Ale. Able detectives know them
and they should be arrested as soon
as they set foot In city.
Well-policed streets are also es.
sentIsL A thief will hesitate to
stage a. hold-up or robbery II he
knows the cop on the beat is honest
and is on The Job.
Vice has the same relation to
murder as It has to other crime.
Most murders are the result Of gang
feuds. and bootleg and dope wars.
They cannot be controlled in the
ordinary way. However, II dumps
are eliminated and thugs are forced
out of town. the number of murders
win decrease.
During my first year In Philadel-
phia murders decreased by 20 per
cent. and most of these were priv
ate feuds where gangsters killed
each other. Many others were of the
love type of staying, which like
wise, cannot be entirely eliminated.

In my second year the murders
increased over 1924 by 10 per cent,
but the number was still lower than
in the year prior to my admiRistra.
