NEW ORLEANS, La, May IA R.-
Mississippi flood waters, with all the
reinforcements of the Yazoo, the Black,
the Red and other southern tributaries,
were assaulting five south central
Louisiana parishes tonight, pouring
through earthen embankments which
crumbled before their onslaught
Hope of saving the Bayou Des
Glaises section, part of the Sugar
Bowl" and the Evangeline country, dis
appeared with the falling of the Klein
wood plantation levee before the at
tack of the water. Other breaks at
Moreauville, Bordelonville and Cotton
port still had left levee board officials
with the hope that they might be able
to save part of the rich district.
With the breach at Kleihwood, in
the middle of Big Bend, along Bayou
Des GLASSES, work was abandoned along
the 30-mile stretch from Cottonport
to the southernmost of the bend.
Four crevaSses occurred today in Bayou
Des GLASSES and another levee went
out at Cottonport along Bayou Rouge.
Three other breaks had occurred pre-
viously, one at Cottonport and two at
Moreauville.
The affected district is approximately
100 miles northwest of New Orleans
and on the opposite side Of the river.
In addition to the five major breaks
along Bayou Des Glaises, aviators fly
ing over the district reported at least
is minor crevasses through which the
water was tearing.
The escaping water tonight already
had blanketed more than $50 square
miles of fertile Avoyelles parish farm
ing lands and were spreading swiftly
southwark to cover the crops and
thickly populated settlements of four
other parishes, st. Landry, st. Martin,
Idera and st. Mary.
More than 100000 persons will be
affected by the flood and another mill
lion acres will be added to the other
millions already covered by the Missis-
Sippi in the greatest flood in the his
tory of the valley. Before the sweep
ing mass of waters has reached the
Gulf of Mexico it will have cut a
devastating path from the northern
boundary of Arkansas to the southern
shores of Louisiana along the Gulf.

III is no secret that the big capitalists of the
United States very favorably inclined, to say
the least, towards the fascist governments of
Europe, particularly towards Mussoni. We have
yet to find the American big banker, ndustrialist
merchant, who upon his return from Italy failed
to praise the greatness" Of Mussolin They all
like the hangman and oppressor of the Italian work
ers and farmers And why? 1t is the manifesto
ton of repressed complex for similar Dictator
ship in the United States.
THE Morgans and Garys, who wax so eloquent
on the achievements of the fascist regime in
Italy, can already sec the day when American i'm
perialsm powerful and still growing as it is today,
will enter the path of decline These captains of
finance and industry, who amassing ire
mendous fortunes at the expense of the sweat and
blood of the toiling of America and the
world over, quite in position to visualize
slackening production, growing unemployment, I'M
rest and resentment of millions of American work
ers whom the trade union reactionaries will no
longer be able to keep in check. Hence the ques-
ton arises in the minds of the present day rulers
of the United States: Do the present methods of
government offer sufficient guarantees against this
coming upsurge of class assertion by the American
working class? Will the capitalist dictatorship in
the government, masked at present with intricate
methods of democratic FORM be able to withstand
the onrush of working class awakening which is
bound to come?

AND the point of view which is gaining ever more
- favor in the eyes Of big capital is to gradually
free itself of the mask and camouf1age of "demo-
cracy and to institute as much is expedient the
methods OF open dictatorship. This trend is quite
evident in the political development of American
capitalism; away from capitalist democracy and
toward capitalist fascism. The system of govern
ment is the same in both instances capitalist
system-but the practical methods and means Of
government are different, the fascist methods being
adapted to the maintenance of capitalist ruIe
in time of sharpened class struggles
IN the light of these considerations, the issue Of
third termism, as far as the working masses are
concerned, becomes an issue of struggle against the
autocracy and dictatorship of big capital in the
American government. The efforts of certain Sec
tions of big capital to retain Coolidge in the presi-
dency for third term becomes even more menacing
Just because of this trend of American capital
towards open dictatorship and the use of fascist
methods. To be sure this is not precisely the way
Senator Edwards looks at it, but just the same this
is the only way in which the working masses must
view it. And seeing it that way, they must awaken
To the situation and prepare to fight.
DANIEL J. TOBIN, treasurer of the American
= Federation of Labor and president of the Team
sters and Chauffeurs' Union, sees a great menace
to the American workers in the national wage cut
which Mussolini is enforcing upon Italian
labor Tobin happens to be right, this time But
what is he doing to help American labor to meet
this menace in effective way?
Here is what Tobn has to say on Mussolinis
charter of labor:
III this plan succeeds in Italy it is not IL
logical to suppose that other nations will be
drawn into competition on similar basis-a sort
OF worldwide race to see who can live on the
least Any economist can see what this means
to the present industrial system"
THE question that every American worker should
ask himself is this: What are the Italian trade
unions doing to resist this nationwide wage cutting
measure of the fascist dictator? The answer is
that the Italian trade union movement has been
outlawed and crushed as preparatory measure to
cut the wages and further enslave the Italian
workers. Strikes too have been outlawed And the
most conscientious coaborators of Mussolini in the
destruction Of the Italian trade union movement
were no other than the conservative and reaction-
airy officials Of the trade unions Of Italy
WHY does not Daniel J. Tobin discuss this angle
y Of Che situation? Is it because IL hits directly
home? Is it because it shows up the conservative

Editors Notes

A political term is coming into vogue. Il
"A spells: Third Termism. The other day the Chi
cago Tribune carried item headned: Third
Termism The 1928 Issue, Edwards Says.
WELL, it looks to us a convenient sort of phrase
" for the political purposes of capitalist polti-
clans who are opposed to Coolidge running for
third term. But the issue involved in Coolidges
third term for the presidency of the United States
is much bigger than the phrase itself would indi-
cate.
CENATOR Edward ]. Edward, democrat of New
Jersey, is quite definitely opposed to third pres
idential term for Coolidge. And for very good rea
sons. He wants his own party in the saddle. He
says
"Any attempt on the part of President Cool
idge to dictate the destiny of these United
States for more than eight years will be met
with just and proper rebuke."
NOW, we maintain that it is not really President
Coolidge who dictates the destiny of these United
States, but the big capitalists They doing all
the debating that there is to be done in order to
maintain the present capitalist system. Coolidge
and the republican party are the political executors
of the will of big capital We further maintain that
the election of democratic president, which would
undoubtedly please Senator Edwards, would make
very little difference in the situation. Big capital
operates through the democratic party almost as
good as through the republican party, and in some
respects even better.
is it to be concluded from this that the American
-
working class and the poor farming classes are
to be Indifferent to what has been designated as
Third Termism? No. not all Only the working
masses must realize the full implications of what
Third Termism means, whether it be for Coolidge or
some other capitalist politician.
IT is to be observed that big capitalist interests
quite generally view with sympathy the idea of
Third Termsm. 1t kind of appeals to them. And
why? The answer to this question is to be found
in the general change of the state of mind of big
capital with respect to the traditional requirements
of the so-called democratic system of government
of the United States Big capital, and also medium
capital, is becoming distrustful of the
efficacy Of its own methods of government from the
point Of view of keeping the toiling in sub
lection. Ever often the magnates Of finance and
industry in the United States casting chances
across the Atlantic, to the seat of Italian Bulgarian
and Polish fascism, signing and hoping that some
day American capitalism may find its own Mus

Tigers TROUNCE
OHIO BUCKEYS
BY SCORE OF 200

PALMER STADIUM, PRINCETON,
N. j., Nov. QP-Ohio States battling
but disorganized Buckeyes invaded
the Tiger lair today and emerged
badly battered and torn after one
sided fray on water soaked grid
iron. Princeton's flashy eIeven, ex-'
hibiting a stonewall defense as well
as sharp hard hitting attack, swept
the Ohioans off their feet and won
by the decisive score of 20 to o.
While the chilled crowd of close to
10000 spectators looked on, Prince
tons brilliant sophomore halfback,
Ed Wittmer, of Pittsburgh, scored all
three of the Tiger touchdowns with
one tfhe years greatest exhibitions
of ball carrying. Wittmer's slashing,
plunging drives were the outstanding
features of game that kept Prince
tons unbeaten slate clean and gave
the east its biggest intersectional win
so far in the 1927 campaign.
Outplayed by wide margin for
three periods, kept out of the reach
of the Tiger goal and forced back
constantly on the defensive by sue
ceSsion of line battering tIlrusts, Ohio
State cut loose with its only scoring
threat in the closing few minutes OF
the game.
In this last desperate charge, led
by the twisting dasles of Byron Eby,
Ohio's forces swept down the field
from their own 10 yard line to
Princeton'S three yard line, where Eby
made it first down. Four plays were
unable to bulge the Orange and
Black Wall and the last bid, COM
pleted pass, resulted in yards loss.
The Tigers. took the ball on downs
as the final whistle blew
Princeton profited greatly by the
breaks" The Tigers got two of their
touchdowns as the direct result of
blocked kicks, but the other was the
product Of sustained 10 yard march.
Wittmer, ably supported by Mike
Miles and Jack Norman, furnished
the scoring punch each time.
