AMERICAN IMPERIALISM IN CON
SPIRACY AGAINST SOVIET UNION

If there was any doubt regarding the malevolent
designs of Wall Street against the Union of So
ciaist Soviet Republics that doubt is now dispelled
by the action of the state department at Washing
ton IN refusing to permit the shipment of 100000
rifles to Russia, says the Daily Worker of New
York. The state department does not place en-
bargoes, officially or unoffically-as in this case
upon arms to a country unless it views that nation
as an enemy and is preparing for war against it.
There is one other country which Wall Street
has on the arms embargo list, and that is Mexico.
In the case of Mexico the Washington government

doing everything in its power to concoct a case
Tor intervention so that the Wall Street bandits
can pillage that rich country of its resources
In the case of the Soviet Union the United
States government participates in the conspira-
cles against the workers and peasants govern
ment because it knows that as long as Russia re-
mains the formidable proletarian power that it is
the conflicts between the imperialist powers for
a new redivisiOn of the world must be held in
allegiance
In regard to shipments of arms it is noteworthy
that no embargo is placed upon weapons to those
European nations that have become vassals of
imperialism and that comprise the reactionarv bloc
that is being created against the Russian revou-
ton
This arbitrary act by the state department must
be the signal for new activity on the part of labor
IN favor of recognition of the Soviet Union and
against the worldwide conspiracy that is on foot
to again make capitalism supreme turnout the

Farmers Average 30c An Hour

More than 5000 hours of physical
work plus experienced management
plus the benefit of $4,000 to $4,000
OF property-all for 1858. That's

producing the food, cotton and other
agricultural products which are the
basis OF its existence. If we disre-

The department of agriculture has
tried to answer the question, how
many hours does the average farmer
work! From records kept by 282
farm operators in IL farm states the
department finds that the hours of
the average farm operator vary from
ZO24 per year on cotton plantations
IN Texas to 3405 per year on dairy
farms IN Wisconsin. The unweight-

War on international Steel Giants

A gigantic attempt to trustify the
world steel industry under the con-
troll of American financiers will be
the problem confronting Ebert Gary's
successor as chairman of U. S. Steel.
The cutthroat battle now developing
between the great national steel com
blnes of England, Germany, France
and the United States presents a pic
ture on an international scale closely
resembling that within the United
States during the last 10 years of the
18th century. The situation is so Sc
rlous that the Craftsmanship of u. S.
Steel will probably be largely nom
inal, with the actual control passing
to some sort of triumvirate including
a flnancier, super-salesman and a
technical expert.
Facing U. S. Steel is the United
Steel Works Corp. of Germany partly
financed by American capital. This
German trust represents an amalga-
nation of four companies which were
driving each other into bankruptcy.
1t is a half billion dollar corporation
and made profit of more than $780,
100000 in the 6 months ended March
81, 1927.
Omitted Steel" says The Wall
Street Journal, employs $4,000
persons. It's coal properties and an
nual coal capacity of 37,188,OO met
ric tons are the largest of any com
pany in the world. The company has
"a coke plants with a capacity of g.
100000 tons and is making the fullest
use of byproducts. 1t has sc blast
furnaces with a capacity of 9,5OO,OOO
tons of pig iron, 81 steel plants. ca
pacity over 100000 tons Of raw steel
and other mills with a capacity of

The estate includes every sort OF

miles of frontage on Lake Winnipe-
saukee. The enormous house is built
of stone and handhewn oak. There
is a servants house, a greenhouse, q
bOathouse, stable, a garage and z
gate lodges.
"Within this private domain" says
the ad, await all outdoor sports
both summer and winter; riding, driv-
ing, golf and tennis, canoeing, hunt
ing, fishing, bathing, INCORPORATING,
shooting, skating, snowshoeing, ski
ing, sleighing and toboganning."
What man would not want all this
for his family. Yet under the pres
ent system it is all for a single ex-
elusive family of the American dollar
nobility.
What would it be in Russia? Once
upon a time under the car, it would
have been what it is in America to-
day, the country estate of some mem

Balance Of Trade Hurts Workers

The international investing class is
steadily increasing its tribute from
the workers of all lands, as PORTRAYED
in U. S. department of commerce
report on the balance of international
payments TO and from the United
States in 1926. A large part of the
report is devoted to the investment
OF American capitalists in foreign
countries and the investment of for
elgn capitalists in America. The lon
sided balance in the exchange of com
modltles is compensated by transfers
OF title to the means of production
and by luxurious travel by the privi-
legged classes.
The simples part of the report from
the view point of labor shows that the
United States exported $5,038, OOO, 900
OF commodities in 1926 and imported
$4,59O,000,000. The country sold to
foreigners $448, 100000 more of the
products of American workers than
it purchased of the products of for
eign workers. This socalled favorable
balance of trade may arnear to have
meant more jobs for American work
ers but it really meant that Ameri-
can workers received that much less
goods in return for their products
sold abroad.
Did American workers receive any
thln9 IN place of the products of for
elgn labor that should have come in
exchange for their products? The
departments figures answer an en-
phatic No. The balance was met
largely by foreign services to Ameri-
can tourists and by foreign securities

sold to American investors. Out of
the complicated figures covering i'm
ports other than commodities the
largest figures are new American in
Vestments abroad to the tune of ST.
AZ OOO,OOG and tourist expenditures
amounting to S761 100000.
These socalled invisible imports TO-
tallng more than 100000, do not
go to the producing class. The in
vestments swell the wealth and pow
er OF the American exploiting class
while the tourist money BUYS FOREIGN
services largely for this same class
and its parasites. Few wage earn
ers are found either among the mr.
chasers of foreign bonds or in the
gambling palaces of DeauvilIe and
Monte Carlo. '''N
These two large items throw the
balance heavily against the United
States. But the balance is restored
by other figures connected with the
exploitation of labor by the interna-
tlonal owning class. These incInde
the S678,00O,000 in interest and divi-
bends paid to Americans on their
privately held foreign securities and
the $3.50, 100000 while foreigners in
vested In American securities.
Exports are advantageous to the
workers only as they bring an equal
return IN products of foreign labor
colnsumable by the workers them
selves. Where the balance is increas-
lngly struck in terms of greater pow
er and privilege for the international
investing class, foreign trade becomes
a means of oppression.

WALL STREET INCREASES HOLD
ON ARGENTINE

On Saturday of last week the convertibility into
gold of the Argentine national currency was of
ficialy established, thus placing that country on
a gold basis. 1t means that the public and private
debts of that nation are to be measured by the
gold standard.
Wall Street, by its mastery of the world gold
supply, forces all those nations in its clutches to
pay in its own currency. On the same day the Of
fetal decree establishing the gold standard was
proclaimed preparations were also made by the
Chase Securities Corporation and Blair & Co. to
float a S40,0OO,O0O bond issue of the Argentine
government. This issue is to be applied to the
funding of the floating debt of the Argentine state
railroads. 1t WILL of course, be secured by the
properties of the railroads What really happens
is that the bankers of New York have claim on
a portion of the surplus wealth produced by the
working class of the Argentine forever, or until
the bonds recalled or transferred to new forms
This latest bond issue is only the elimination of
a series of inroads made by American bank CAPT
tai in the Argentine. In June, 1926 the House of
Morgan and the National City (the Standard Oil
bank floated $45OOO,0OO issue for that country
Since that date the same banking houses have
floated five Argentine loans ranging from $17,-
100000 to $3O,00O,0OO in round figures
These figures are reasons why the Coolidge
Kellogg-HoOver government of Wall Street is
constantly on a rampage somewhere in Central
and South America. After the workers of this
country have produced such an enormous surplus
lat it cannot be disposed of within the confines
OF the United States it is invested in other coun-
tries and then the capitalists have the audacity to
demand that we become enthusiastic about fight
ing to protect their right to exploit the workers
of other countries with the investment capital they
obtaine through exploitation of us.
The next time we hear patriots raving about at
rOcities in any of the American countries we
should remember the investments of Wall Street
and demand that American forces not only be not
sent to defend their interests but that gunner Of
imperialism get out of those countries and stay
out.
AS for the workers of Latin-America they should
