aid. This sounds very good when the
financial aid is mentioned But where is
the financial aid coming from? 1t is quite
evident that the corporations S25,0OO,O00
which it claims to have invested, is only
the value of the foreclosed land which no
doubt was pooled by the bankers, with
the intention just to sell it. There is no
mention made of this large sum of money
to be loaned to the victims who are to
work the land. If there is any money to
be spent, it will be for the prefacing of
this venture with politicals to disguise the
act of again milking the farmers by the
same banking process which separated the
last multitude of workers from what they
lost after starving themselves for years
In vain struggle against the profit
system.
"There is no chance for the farming in
dustry as whole, to prosper under the
capitalist system. If there are an abund-
ance of produce raised, then the stock
gamblers manipulate the prices so as to
make the gambling profitable, and the
price goes down. And if there is a part
failure Of the crops, then the farmer suf-
fers on account of not having anything to
sell. No matter what happens there is no
prospect of prosperity for the farmers. It
is well known fact that most of them
will not realize sufficient income to cover
the actual cost of production, which in the
end will fall into the hands of the money
lenders.
"The politicians who align themselves
with such fake farm schemes, have a
double purpose in mind. First, thew look
for soft birth in the enterprise with a
retainer that is to be taken out of the
earnings of the toiler. And the second. is
utilizing the misery of the farmers as a
spring-board to political eminence. So long
as the bankers, railroads and grain and
elevator trusts are free to gouge the
farmer to the limit there will be no last
ing prosperity for him, and the downward
trend must continue because of inexorable
economic conditions that are an integral
part of capitalist production.
This $25,000,000 worth of capital which
must have been earned by some one 9TH
er than the promoters of this corporation.
VIII only serve as a cesspool in which the
workers and farmers may sink lower in
TO the despotism of capitalism. And so
the workers and farmers will be led bv
the capitalist politicians. Republican and
Democrat alike defend the capitalist pro-
cess of exploiting the producers, and onlv
polltlcal lmbeciles can expect benefits
from such sources. 1t will be when tbe
workers form political party of their
own, who will inaugurate a system that
Will produce for use instead of profit. that

now misery and starvation accommodates
them to the grave"

The Russian market for American
machinery grew from $64,342 in
1922 to S4,6637, ZIP in 1926. VENUE
la and Chile have also jumped as
markets for American machinery.
Another article in the same issue
describes the Citroen company,
Europe's leading motor car manufact-
urer, employing American machinery
and American methods to produce
400 low priced cars daily. Citroen
employs about 10000 workers at an
average of SLIGO a day and aims al
a daily production of 100 cars. The
department says:
"By increasing his production and
expanding his domestic and foreign
program year after year, Citroen
looms large in those great markets
where American and foreign cars
meet on an equal commercial foot
ing" Eventually this spells wage
cuts for American workers.

The marked expansion of the ex-
port trade in American machinery,
described in the U. S. department of
commerce weekly, should interest
labor. This phase of imperialism
means providing the competitors of
American workers with the most up
to-date methods for underselling
American products.
In 1926, according to the depart
ment, the United States exported
S156,000,O0O of industrial machinery
to all pars of the world. This com
pares with S550,O00,0OO exported in
1910. Since 1919 this country has
placed about S1,500,0O0,OOO of ma
chinery in other lands.
Latin America leads as a market
for American machinery. In 1926 it
bought machinery valued at $685.
900 or 1850 of the total ex-
ported. Europe follows, having taken
SIS, $4,000 worth or 24.596 of the
total, while exports of American ma
chinery to Canada totsled $31,072, 900.

corporation was formed for the purpose
OF agricultural development in four
northwestern states, Minnesota, North and
South Dakotas and Montana.
Louis j. Hill, chairman of the board of
directors of the Great Northern Railway
Co., heads the list of directors of the new
corporation. D. C. Shepherd, president
of the Exchange Bank of st. Paul. is also
on the board. Three of the board direc-
tors are from st. Paul, two from Mime

Dakotas. Norman Hotter of Helena. and

Some one asks "what is the solution?"
How people buy the products of the machine
and those employed without wages?
The working day must be reduced from eight t.
six hours, and the working week must be reduced
from six to five days. 1t is only in this way car
the work be divided among the people-only b!
this policy can all the workers live.
The benefits and savings of the machine mus

In other words production for profit must Civ
