The "Swell Mob" of New York.

In it's search for hectic entertain
ment New York has lately developed a
taste for the might club" which mas
for some time been a feature of Lon.
don life. These establishments-com'
bined restaurants, cabarets and prl'
yate gambling resorts-have gained
large patronage. Memberships" are
not so scrupulously guarded that 1t is
especially difficult to gain admission.
They are virtually public places. Some
of them are perfectly respectable, 9TH
ers are Of decidedly doubtful charac-
ter. Seekers for exciting diversion,
for amusement in the twilight zone
of semi-lawlessness, have thronged
them, the majority of the patronage
coming from wholly reputable persons
avid for post midnight entertainment.
One of these resorts, which has been
an especial favorite of fashionable
folk, has just been found to have been
for some time the rendezvous OF a de-
lectable band Of thieves. jewel robbers.
safe crackers and hold-up men, some
of whom are suspected of at least
three murders and of robberies total
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
in loot. Six men and a woman have
been arrested, one Of them on leaving
this particular place. Search OF them
Welded four large caliber pistols. seven
boxes of cartridges. two black silk
| masks, three heavy "swag" bags, and
| list of underworld characters, includ-
ing gunmen and fences
| It does not follow, of course, that
the night clubs in New York are all
tainted with this kind of company
But the suggestion is that they are
| convenient meeting places for the un'
| derworld, especially the leaders OF
criminal gangs. And it may be that
knowledge or suspicion of the patron
| age of these places by dangerous char
acters of this ilk has much to do with
their popularity among perfectly law
abiding but curious people. 1t is
well known fact that many persons
like TO hover around criminals and the
scenes of crime, who themselves would
never think of breaking a law. 1r
Paris a favorite diversion Of tourists
Is to go under escort to notorious dive
freuuented by apaches. So profitable
is this patronage to the proprietors oi
these places that they are even sus

and desperadoes.

private capitalist economics, and there
is lack of comprehension of the
fact that there can be such thing
as non-capitalist private undertakings
The discussion at the XIV. Party Con
gress dealt with all this, but it has
not been so completely formulated un-
til now.
r MUST first of all draw your atten-
1 ton to a theoretical compilation
Of all oppositional proposals, ideas
assertions, theses, etc. to Comrade
Preobrashensy's book, "On the New
Economy" Here the economics of
our country are regarded as follows;
On one side we have state economies
on the other private economics, and
nothing besides. Private capitalist
economics, the economics of the small
peasantry, and every kind Of private
economic undertaking - among the
poor peasantry, the middle peasantry,
etc--are all thrown together
TT need scarcely be emphasized that
4 this standpoint Is entirely wrong
When Lenin asked, WHO is going to
defeat whom?" we the capitalists or
the capitalists us, he put the question
from the viewpoint Of; Who is 60
ing to win over the peasantry? Shall
we win over the main mass Of the
peasantry, or will the capitalists do it?
In Lenin's conceptions the peasantry
played chiefly the role of an object
subject to the influence of the oppos-
ing class forces. And when we put
the question of who is going to de-
feat whom" the answer will be es-
sentially decided by the question of
who succeeds in drawing over the
peasantry to his side, for the strug-
gle between the working class and
the capitalist is a struggle for the
peasantry. 1t is thus entirely absurd,
and flatly contradicts Lenin's stand
point, when private capitalist econo-
mics are identified with agricultural
economics in all their various strata.
| THIS brings us to the second ques-
L ton of this series of peasantry
! problems: the question Of pumping
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-09-25

over" means from agricultural sourc-
es, and from private economic under
takings, into industry and into state
economies. This is no simple ques-
tion. 1t is perfectly clear that our
state industry cannot obtain the
means for its expansion solely from
the work done by the working class
within this state industry itself, and
that it must necessarily draw on the
non-industrial reservoir for the means
to support and expand industry. One
Of the resources upon which we must
draw, Is the peasantry. The peasant
ry must take its share in helping the
state to build up socialist state of
industry, and thus the tax revenues,
the industrial profits on the goods
which we sell to the peasantry, and
other various revenues, are drawn to
a certain. extent from the peasantry.
T WOULD be entirely wrong to say
4 industry should develop solely up
on what is produced within this IN
dustry itself. On the contrary, the
whole question Is: How much can
we take away from the peasantry, to
what extent and by what methods can
we accomplish the pumping over proc
ess, what are the limits of the pump
ing over, and how shall we calculate
in order to arrive at favorable results?
This is the question. Here lies the
difference between us and the opposi-
ton, a difference which may be de-
fined by saying that the comrades Of
the opposition are in favor of an i'm
moderate amount of pumping over,
and are DESTROYS Of putting so severe
"a pressure upon the peasantry that
in our opinion the result would be
economically irrational and politically
unbelievable. We do not in the least
hold the standpoint that we are
against this pumping over, but our
calculations are more sober, we con-
fine ourselves to measures economic
ally and politically adapted to their
purpose.

THE fourth thesis, finally. advanced
l. by the comrades OF the opposition,
is the assertion that our state organs
are almost completely degenerated,
that they have become entirely de-
tached from the masses, and that
the state, economic, trade union, and
cooperative organs. as also the party
organs and above all the state eco
nomic organs, are Joining forces with
the N. 2. p men, the kulaks (rich
peasantry), etc. To this | must OBJ
serve: It is true that thru the fault
Of our bureaucracy there is a tendency
to such degeneration among us; this
cannot be contested But we must
contest with the utmost decision and
energy the suggestion that our state
industry is already degenerated, that
It no longer represents the industry
Of the working class. This is an
assertion towards. which the opposi-
tional comrades are steering, and they
have very nearly ventured to express
it outright.
OUR Industry ls the state social
" list industry of the working
class, but It has fallen a victim
to the bureaucratic spirit. This Is
our definition. The fight against
bureaucracy must therefore form
one Of our leading tasks, and here
we must unfold ever Increasing en-
erpy. But still we are very far
from a position which would justify
the comrades of the opposition In
advancing such a thesis.

THIS is how matters stand with re-

country. 1 now pass to the second
problem, one of most decisive i'm
portance; to the problem of the peas
antry, and to the economic aspect OF
this problem.
When we attack this question first
from its theoretical side, one point
stands forth conspicuously, and
draw your attention to it because ii
represents, SO to speak, the spring
board from which the New OPPOSE

or that question in connection with
the peasantry. This is the manner
in which private capital and peasantry
are identified with one another, and
agricultural economics confused with
capitalist economics. Private econo
