Industrial country than it ever was.
1t has more and larger factories. A
greater unskilled and poorly paid
working class employed in heavy in
dustry. Highly concentrated trusts
and corporations controlled by large
bankers. Agriculture and small bust
ness have been relegated to the back
ground since the war. Tremendously
heightened industrial technique has
taken away from the skilled worker
the economic privilege of his skin.
What does 1t all mean7 1t means
this: Before the war France was the
ideal home Of small business, urban
and rural. Now France has become
the ideal home OF big business. Be
fore the war politics in France was
dominated to large degree by the
so-called democracy, the medium and
small bourgeoisie OF the cities and vii
lagos. Now big agrarian, commercial
industrial and finance capital is the
dictator in French politics notwith-
standing the fact that the medium and
small bourgeolsie still retain a ma
jority In the parliamentary institu-
tons OF the country.
The intense political struggle in
Franco. which Is accompanied by
change OF governments nearly every
day. reflects this fact: That big CAPT

ence OF the medium and petty bour-
geoisie represented by the Bloc de
Gauches. led by Herriot) and to estab-
lish its dictatorial powers in the gov
eminent as it is already established in
industry, commerce and finance.
INITIATION also has played its role
l. in the present crisis. Due TO in
fation, the petty bourgeoisie and the
peasants have lost about five-sixth
OF their capital The sum would
amount to about 100000, 100000
francs, which is one-third OF the ma
tional wealth Of France. Ten million
people have suffered as a result of
imitation, of whom nearly five million
have been completely ruined.
In this France has repeated the ex-
perience OF Germany. The capital lost
by the peasants and small business
people was taken hold of by the bank
ers to buy up real property and to
strengthen their control upon the eco
nomic life OF France.

rious one and may lead to the de
velopment Of revolutionary situation

GREAT strikes, involving tens of
~ thousands of workers, are shak-
ing the economic system of the United
States. This would prove once more
that prosperity" under the present
order is decidedly a one-sided affair.
The capitalists prosper, to be sure,
but the working masses get more ex-
ploitation.
Six months of bitter struggle is the
up-to-date experience of the textile
workers in Passaic, New Jersey.
Thousands of men, women and chill
dren-woefully underpaid, overwork-
cd, prosecuted and mistreated in
every way-went on strike six months
ago to resist a wage cut from a wage
which was already much below the
subsistence level. They fought brave
ly. Tlsey underwent tremendous sac
-rifices. But they cannot lose. They
must not lose. They will continue to
tight until they win.

l. cloakmakers are putting up brill
liant fight against being forced back
into the Sweat shop" They have
been on strike only two weeks but the
power of their discipline and organiza-
ton already received a splendid dem
onstration. One of the chief demands

lance to the American labor move

struggle that these strikers are en-
gagged in, and because Of that It must
be fought to finish and won.
T1HE coal mines of West Virginia
l. are again on the strike map. The
miners of SCOTS Run are putting up
a game fight. They are struggling for
the right to be organized. The success
Of their fight would achieve the I'M
ionization of 10000 miners in the
Fairmont district of Northern West
Virginia. This would mean ire
mendous step forward in solving the
critical situation OF the United Mine
Workers Union which is the backbone
Of the American labor movement.
CAPITAL is fairly well united
" against the workers in all these
struggles. The unity Of the workers
is still far from what it ought to be.
Capital is making full use Of the
police, the courts the military and
the whole oppressive machinery Of the
local and federal government. But
the workers are stiM playing the
politics of their enemies.
A strong union is an absolute ner
cessity and so is an independent po-
litical party of the workers. The
workers must win their strikes and
enriched by the experiences Of their
struggles they must proceed to build
their own political party.

it possible? Big capital. whom the
Briand-Cafilaux ministry was trying to
accommodate to certain degree,
wants to impose heavier taxes upon the
small business men, the peasants and
the workers. But the latter. quite
naturally, would not agree to that
