Wolfe Exposes Lies
Of Eastman in Dec,
Issue of Communist

That Max Eastmans intellectual
gymnastics as revealed in his recent
article in the New Masses and in his
new book MARX, Lenin and the
Science of Revolution" is simply ar
rogant intellectual snobbery and de-
liberate Justification Of Marxism-
Leninism, is the charge of Bertram
d. Wolfe in an article featuring Ii G
new issue of "The Communist"
Eastman Mistates.
Z "Maes according to Eastman,
writes Wolfe, lis fatalist and Len
in doer, Marx a prophet and Lenin
an organizer, Marx a theoretician and
Lenin man of action (whose theories
were wrong, but whose practice was
right, Marx priest and Lenin an
engineer, Marx a metaphysician and
Lenin a scientist"
A passing acquaintance with Marx
Life, or the most superficial study OF
Marx works would have convinced
Eastman to the contrary and thus
prevented him from making his orig
inal contribution" to Marxism, Len
inism and the New Masses"
Marx Active Reyolutionist.
In support of his argument Wolfe
points out the record of Marx as a
revolutionary organizer in every
country to which he was exiled; his
activities in the League of the Just,
the British Labor Movement, his
direction of the First International, in
behalf Of the Paris Commune, etc.
In answer to Eastman's charges
that Lenin as good revolutionary
engineer" was bad in theory, Wolfe
in point after point exposes Eastman's
charges not only as misinterpretation
but as deliberate Justification and dis
honesty in the use of the statements
of both Marx and Lenin. In con-
Guiding his sharp answer to Eastman.
Wolfe says: "The last words we will
leave to Lenin who seems to have an
tlclpated Eastman's new science and
had it in mind when he wrote: PEOPLE
bend every effort to elaborate some
thing extraordinary and in their zeal
to be intellectual they become ridic-
ulous. ,"

RenuS Case Judge
Allows Graft Tale,
Alta Disadvantages

CINCINNATI H., Nov 29-The
defense in the Remus trial today con-
tinued to introduce testimony show
ing Remus to be insane at times. The
ruling Of Judge Shook, which yester-
day prevented Remus from making
public his threatened revelations of
graft in the prohibition service was
later modified, without any flood Of
evidence about the service. and the
attitude of those interested seems to
indicate that there is q tacit under
standing that relations between pro-
hibition agent Dodge and Remus'
wife may be discussed in court, with
out emphasis on the graft aspects OF.
involving anybody else.
Tough Federal Attorney.
The prosecution itself today made
bitter attack on the reputation of
Allan Curray, defshse witness, and
one time federal district attorney at
st. Louis.
Were you not forced to resign
from the government service because
Of malfeasance in office and because
you became involved in a white slave
case" demanded Carl Basler, assist
ant prosecutor.
The witness denied it, but when
defense attorney Charles Fl. Elston
demanded that Basler retract the ac-
cusation the latter refused point
blank.
Later, word was received from
Washington that the Remus prose
cution had gained the cooperation
Of the attorney generals office and
would be supplied with department
of justice files.
Graft AngIe.
Remus charges that Franklin
Dodge, prohibition agent. conspired
with his wife, Imogena, to swindl.
him out of Sl,800,000 bootleg profits.
He pleads temporary insanity as his
excuse fer killing her in par;
short time ago. Yesterday the judge
ruled that evidence connecting Dodoa
and Mrs. Remus (which brings in
the graft angle) was inadmissable
until case of insanity was estab-
lished by the. defense.
Later the Judge ruled that enough
evidence to demonstrate probable IN
sanity was before he court. This
however, weakens whatever Remus
mas to say about the graf, as it
5cc27nea admittedly the story q a
man Of u1sounl mentality. There
are indications that the state is using
all its efforts to get Remus out Of
the way rs soon as possible and to
silence him until he can be executed

ADMITS WORKERS
BARELY SURVIVE
$500 a Year for Most of
People, Says Economist

Despite official propaganda about
American prosperity, the mass OF
people in the United States is not
prosperous, according to Professor
Irving Fisher of Yale University, one
of the leading American college econ
omists. He estimates that more than
90,O00,00O Americans, or so percent
of the population, make only little
more than their expenses. The vast
majority of Americans, Prof. Fisher
declares, cannot put any savings
aside. On the basis of the highest es-
Inmates of national income" pub
lished by government and private
bourgeois agencies, Prof. Fisher es-
timated that in 1926 more than SO
million people in the United States,
out of a total of 1T million, receive
an annual income of about $500 each.
The UnprosperOus.
"These SO million people," Prof.
Fisher says, comprise the combined
poorest and lower middle classes.
They are 65 per cent and Is per cent
respectively of the whole population.
The poorest class alone, comprising
rs million people (65 per cent of the
totaD receive about 1856 per cent of
the national income or S34,740,0 900
less than $3.50 annually per person.
This class includes not only manual
and office workers, but the small
business men, many managers and
most engineers as we'll"
The average family of five, accord
ing to these figures, gets an annual
income of $4,000, or little more than
is required to buy the minimum of
necessities among industrial or office
workers in New York. 1t leaves little
or nothing for vacations, unemploy-
ment, sickness or savings. The aver
age surplus left for family of five
among the 100000 people consid-
erred is SLIT.
with only an estimated SLY of
income per family above the minimum
of comforts and necessities during a
year that is often called the most
prosperous ever Known, this majority
of the American people cannot yet be
said to be in danger of having too
much income. Those in the lower
groups must surely be hard put to it
to make ends meet"

Report General Motors
to Absorb Mack Corp.

Stock Exchange reports yesterday
indicated another large maker of
trucks would soon slip into the fold
of the giant of the motor industry,
the General Motors Corporation, as
e result of the present industrial
slump.
When Mack Truck stock forged
ahead to leadership on the exchange,
reports were circulated that General
Motors was a large stakeholder and
that Mack Truck would soon be num-
bered among the General Motors SUBJ
salaries. The Stock Exchange showed
also that an exaggerated hope is felt
in banking circles Of broad expan-
sion of motor production as result
of orders for 1928 models.

Good and evil planetary influences

trology. The afternoon hours are held
more favorable than those of the
morning. This is read as a lucky day
for starting out on a journey, and it
should be especially favorable to
travel In the air.
Again the stars presage inventions
Of the most amazing sort. and the
seers declare that they will change
life as much as the telephone and
radio have altered customs.
This IL held to be a most favorable
sway for all psychic investigation and
for philosophical studies.
Education makes immense progress
this year, it is said, and in the uni.
versities are many supermen and
superwomen, it is declared.
Bankers and f1nanciers of the United
States are approaching a time when
their dictum will be of international
concern, more serious than in previ-
Gus times, astrologers prophesy.
This date should be an suspicious
one for making investments or for
dealing with brokers.
All the occultists insist that many
great fortunes will be made in Amer.
lea before the end Of this year
Europe is to patroniZe our manu-
features, If the stars are rightly read.
and there will be many rush orders
that may precipitate legislative dis
cussion.
From this date on. world events are
to move with terrible inexorableness,
and this country is to prosper while
others turn to it for aid.
Persons whose birth date it is should
exercise tact and diplomacy in their
affairs all through the coming year.
Children born on that day may
struggle in their early years and reap
tremendous rewards later. All should
have unusual personalities.
