The Main Point in the Program
This is the main point in the
domestic program of Wall Street. In
the fight against this slave scheme,
whose workings we see already . in
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado, the
labor movement must first of all ex-
pose and defeat the official leaders
who are a part of the imperialist
machinery. w
Minimum Necessities.
The labor movement must be
wrested from their control. The mill
ions of workers in basic industry must
be organized, labor party i9iust be
established, there must be general
revolutionization of the working
class. These are minimum necessities
yet they can not be accomplished. IL
the control of the labor movement re-
mains in the hands of the Wolls,
Greens and Lewises who have led the
workers into period when Morgan
heads the steel trust while less than
100000 workers are organized in
unions whose policy and structure
was pitifully inadequate for even the
earlier period of competitive capital

Wealthy Woman Beats,
Enslaves Maid, Charge

NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 30
Mrs. T. S. Arico, wealthy wife of an
automobile salesman, was charged
with enslaving Anna Lameu, her
aid, in her home for the past three
years, beating and starving her.
Anna Lameu, 20, is in the hospi-
tai at present, being treated for
bruises she claims she received when
she was beaten with length of hose
and heavy wire, for not carrying out
Mrs. Arico's orders to the lady's sat
isfaction. The defendant was re-
leased under $4,000 bail.

Now for the appointment of Nor
row of the house of Morgan as Mex
lean ambassador. Lenin continues:
Fourthly, monopoly grew out of
colonial policy. To the numerous
"old" motives on which the colonial
policy was based, finance capital
added the struggle for the sources
of raw materials, for the export of
capital, for spheres of influences"
that is, for spheres of advantage
Gus transactions, concessions, mon
opolistic profits, ETC., and finally
for economic territory in general.
(Our emphasis.)
What it Means.
1t is clear that the new activity of
the house of Morgan indicates to some
extent at least a new stage in i'm
perialist development. 1t would be
a bold statement to make if we were
to say that the open appearance of
Morgan and Morrow in the active
field of industry and diplomacy meant
that American Imperialism has passed
its peak. Yet there are signs that
the present = and increasing - in

growth, as previous ones have been,
but of decay.

From Historian to Hysterian
James OneaPs Review of the History of the
American Working Glass;.

Now as to my Grimes" Mr.. Onea
finds many of them in my boo'5--
some of them real 'crimes" and SOM
Of them of his own invention. In hi
"review" he discusses only two OF
three issues of historical Importance
More than two-thirds of the review
is the hysterical cry of a ruined
''sweet sixteen" He thinks that
have robbed him of something very
valuable and therefore he cries as
loudly as he can.
What are the Grimes" charged
against me by our eminent hysterian
Mr.. Oneal? Let US take them one by
one.
The "Crime" of Failing to Discover
Subject
Mr.. Oneal says: Except for q
book of Simons mine was a pioneer
work" But why this complaint
against me? Where did ever at
tempt to rob Mr.. Oneal of his con-
tribution to American labor history?
I never thought that Oneal had copy
righted the entire subject of American
history.
The Crime of Failing to Discover
America Properly.
My critic says: "Binba has not
learned that the old theory that the
discovery of America was solely the
result of a search for new trade
routes is no longer tenable." He says
that he committed the same "crime"
seven years ago. By reading his re-
view one who does not know my friend
Oneal at least as we'll as | do may
get an impression that he is the holt
est of saints, that he would not even
dare to attempt to commit the crime
of putting a word in your mouth
which you have never uttered or at
tributing to you an idea which you
have never advanced. But here Mr.
Oneal at the very beginning of his
TRADE commits this most serious
crime that can be charged against
any author. I open my book and
read, "The discovery of America was
an accidental result of the search for
shorter and safer routes from Eu
rope to Asia" Do l say 'solely?" No.
What / do r1aintain is this: The
main, the fundamental motive that
inspired the adventure" of Column
bus, as well as others, and led to the
discovery of America was material
motive, a necessity of discovering
new routes for trade with Asia after
the old routes through Constaninople,
through the Red Sea and the Arabian
Gulf became unsafe. But Oneal tries
to make me say that there was no
other motive or source of inspiration
to those who discovered America.

n Said About Morgan, NoryoU - Ex

Two of the four "main phenomena
of monopoistic capitalism" listed by
Lenin in his imperialism" are of the
greatest Importance in connection
with the new roles of Morgan and
Morrow. We quote:
Thirdly. monopoly is an out
growth of the banks. From
modest Intermediates they have
transformed into mOnopolies of fl
nance capital. Some three to five
of the largest banks of the most
developed capitalist nations have
realized personal union" between
industrial and finance capital; they
have concentrated in their hands
the control of many billions, which
make up the greater part of capt.
tai and money incomes of the whole
nation. A financial Oligarchy,
spreading a thick network of de-
tendency over all the economic and
political institutions of modern
capitalist society without exception
this is the most glazing cOnse-
quence of MONOPOLY.
Lenin, writing thus in 1915, while
in exile, explains the special signifi-
canoe of such surface developments
as the appointment Of the head of
the most powerful banking institution
in the world to the craftsmanship OF
the most powerful industrial concern
in the world.
The Longest Questions of Policy.

Extension of Wall Street Rule

Monopolies, the financial oil
garchy, the tendency toward DOM
ination instead of the tendencies
toward freedom, the exploitation of
an ever greater number of the
smaller and weaker nations by
handful of the larger and more
powerful ones-all this has pro-
duced those peculiar characteristics
of imperialism which cause US to
characterize it as parasitic or stag
mating capitalism. The develop
ment of the ''investor nation" the
usurer nation, whose bourgeoisie
lives on export capital and by clip
ping coupons" appears more and
more glaringly as one of the ten
denotes of imperialism. 1t would be
erroneous to think that this tend
ency toward stagnation precludes
the rapid growth of capitalism, for
such is not the case. Individual
branches of industry, individual
strata of the bourgeoisie, individual
nations show, in the epoch of i'm
perialism, more or less forcibly one
or the other of these tendencies. In
general, capitalism develops with
Incompatible greater rapidity than
before, but this development be-
comes generally not only ever more

appears also in the stagnation of
