The New York Times Runs
Into A Few Contradictions

crease rather than to reduce naval
ornaments?
NOW as to The Times, attempt to
~ distort the actual situation rela-
tive to increased production. In
creased production is a positive fac
tor for Capitalist nation only if its
markets continue to expand. If rising
production faces narrowing market
crisis cannot be avoided.
On the other hand if production is
sharply curtailed because of shrink
ing market a political crisis, is bound
to occur which will assume serious
proportions at once.
GREAT Britain has lost much of her
v world market and this in turn has
produced industrial stagnation which
have been followed by tremendous
upheavals. (the coal strike, general
strike, etc. Similarly the consequent
inability to export the required
amounts of investment capital to her
colonies has created an opening for
American financial and political pene-
tration. Canada, Australia, China
THE total of world production and
trade may be back to or even above
the pre-war level but the DISTRIBU-
TION of it has changed-the share
of Great Britain is SMALLER.
The share of the United States in
world trade, and particularly in ex-
port of capital, has increased ire
mendously-and largely at the ex-
pense of Great Britain. In Canada
alone the comparative figures (for
1924 given by Robert w Dunn in
American Foreign Investments" are:
United States ,.$2,425, 100000
Great Britain ;. 1,890,000,000
Before the world war the figures
were:
Great Britain ..$1,860, 100000
United States Alt, ,220
CIGNIFICANT also is the fact that
y the first loan of its kind ever made
by American financiers-$7 SIS, 100000
to the Australian government-was
floated in 1925.
In the light of the important facts
listed above it is clear that The
Times faces a continual contradiction:
It must either admit that imperial
ist war is caused by and fought for
the conflicting interests of the CAPT
talists and thereby discard the fiction
of the high spiritual motives which
actuate the ruling class, as well as
the fiction of capitalism unshakable
stability, or it must continue to make
fool of itself every time it tries to
cast aspersions upon the Soviet Union
and it's leaders.

THE New York Times editorial
writer's are never at their best
when dealing with some world prob
lem in which the Soviet Union or the
Communist International is involved.
Since no world problem can be dis
cussed realistically without taking in
to consideration the existence and
policy of these two great forces, The
Times staff of international experts
is in constant difficulty.
On Friday, August &c, The Times
found it necessary to correct what it
evidently believed was a dangerous
impression created by it's CORE
spondent's report of an interview with
Trotsky by the American labor dele
cation now in the Soviet Union.
THE Times correspondent reports
Tfotsky as follows:
"The capitalist States, however, he
went on, were now back at the pre-
war level, and further increased pro-
duction would be followed automatic
ally by a new war, and this war by a
revolution, first of all in Europe, with
the United States enjoying a respite. -
FIRST Of all The Times disputes the
Trotsky thesis that a surplus of
products creating a struggle for mar
kets is a cause of war. 1t takes the
position that increased national pro-
ductiOn is guarantee of peace, APP
parently on the theory that everyone
is so good natured as a result of
prosperity that war becomes i'm
possible. The conclusion to be drawn
from such statements is that wars are
caused by something as yet underlined
which sours the naturally sunny dis
positions of the masses.
TOATH to amt the implications of
~ the struggle for markets resulting
from increased production and the
diplomatic maneuvering eliminating
in war-"politics carried to its logi-
cal conclusions Times chides
Trotsky for first predicting the
breakup of the British Empire as a
result of declining production and
trade and then reaching the same
conclusion from an estimate of the
result of increased production.
THE TIMES says:
at is only few years since
Trotsky in his Whittier England
proved conclusively from the declin-
ing figures Of English production and
trade that the British Empire was
done for. Now he has no difficulty
at all in proving that the British EN-
pire is doomed by increased produc-
ton and trade"
"The same fate awaits other ma
tons, not excluding the United
States"

By H. M. WICKS.

WITHIN the two old parties of CAPT
talism, the republican and demo-
cratic parties, there survive strong
third party tendencies that cause not
a little uneasness among the profess
sional politicians.
The soil upon which the third
party, the petty bourgeois La Fol-
lette Movement, arose has not be-
come impoverished since the cam
paign of 1924. Instead it has become
more rich and more deeply furrowed
by the prolonged economic depression
among the farmers of the Middle
West, while the cotton crisis lin the
South has brought entirely new ele-
ments to the point of breaking their
traditional political affiliations with
the democratic party.
The Mellon tax policies enforced by
the Coolidge administration have
served to antagonize anew a consider
able portion of the middle class ele-
ments, who supported the drift to-
ward a third party in 1924 and then,
at the last moment deserted, in typi-
cal middle class fashion, to the camp
of Coolidge on the fake issue of "con-
tinued prosperity" This class ex-
posed in 1924 its historical role as a
vacillatipg, unstable element that
fluctuates between the various class
elements in Society, but that always,
in the last analysis, supports the
most vicious reaction. However, at
this moment, considerable portion
of the middle class elements of the
towns and cities Of the agricultural
area are deeply resentful toward the
Mellon-Hoover-Cooi gang for
lifting the taxes off the shoulders of
the big capitalists, while leaving I'M
touched the figures in the middle
brackets. The middle class received
no reductions in taxes as a result Of
the last revision. The Mellon policy
on interallied war debts, the funding
of considerable portions of h e
italian debt in order to pave the way
for Wall Street investments at higher
rates in Italian industries, while
scorning the suggestion of aiding the

financial relief measures, has served
further to intensity the drift against
the administration. The utter con-
tempt for the demands Of the farmers,
displayed by the puppet, Coolidge,
when he vetoed the McNary-Haugen
farm relief BILL not only aroused the
farmers of the Middle and Far West,
but also Infatuated large sections of
the cotton, rice and tobacco growers
of the South. In spite of the eco
nomic insifficiency of the McNary-
Haugen bill, the vast majority of the
population Of the corn, wheat and
cotton belts were convinced that it
would have helped to establish protec-
tive equality Of agriculture in COM
parison with other groups, especially
industrialists, particularly favored by
tariff walls.

Gus influence in the Middle West as

At the same time agents of the Wall
Street dominated democratic party
are rowing the South trying to per-
suade the agriculturists that Al
Smith, governor of New York and the
favorite democrat candidate for the
House of Morgan, is in reality a lib
eral who deeply sympathizes with
their demands.
But in spite of the success achieved
in preventing marked trend toward
a third party revival there are
powerful elements in both old parties
who. unhesitatingly talk about prac-
teal organizational steps to unite the
disconnected masses Of the country
into new third party drive.
WITHIN the past few days num-
p" Der of prominent politicians,
representing sectional groupings in
their parties, have spoken quite
plainly about political combination
of the agricultural interests of the
South and the Middle West on a COM
mon program. Henry A. Wallace of
Iowa, one of the prominent middle
west republicans advocates such an
alliance. So does George w. Bean,
republican national committeeman
from Florida. On the democratic side
such sentiments have been expressed
by Col. Ousley of Dallas, Tex, for
merry assistant secretary of agricul-
ture in the Wilson administration.
The list could be continued in
definitely, proving that even the local
machine leaders reflect the deep-go-
ing resentment against the old par
ties that manifests itself among large
sections of their former supporters.
The next few months will decide
whether the game of the old party
politicians will be successful; whether
they will be able to induce their dis
senting clements to accept their re-
dictionary Wall Street candidates now
parading in the guise of friends of
the farmers or whether another abor-
tive third petty bourgeois party will
arise only to meet defeat again as
three years ago.
THE class elements that are in re-
volt in the ranks of the two old
parties are too weak to lead an in
dependent political existence. Fur
thermore there are distinct class an
tagonisms between the poorer farmers
and tenant farmers on the one hand
and the well-to-do proprietor farmers
and the mkklle class elements of the
towns on the other hand that can
never be reconciled. These middle
class elements will abandon the strug-
gle against the bankers the moment
they are assured an existence as
leeches upon the poorer farmers.
1t is their fate inevitably to sink to
mere adjuncts of Wall Street (col-

THIS is state of affairs that de-
= mands the most astute political
juggling on the part of the leaders
of both the old parties. Both lead
ing groups in these parties are doing
everything in their power to try to
overcome the drift toward a new
third party alignment. Thus far the
party leaders have met with re-
markable success. in combating the
third party tendency. OF course the
task of sitting a third party move
ment is not so difficult as it was in
1924, in spite of the fact that the
economic conditions are more favor
able for such a movement today than
at that time. This paradox is to be
explained by the fact that the heavy
defeat administered the LaFollette
party has caused the middle class
politicians to again turn to the fold
of the republican and democratic
parties and strive to realize within
those parties the demands they feel
they can never realize through a
separate party The LaFollette de-
feat has also created wide pessimism
among the audible clements who sup
ported the third party in 1924. They
also feel that third party movement
IS hopeless, so they too turn to the old
parties, hoping to use their political
power, mostly mythical, in support
Of candidates favorable to them. The
chiefs of the republican party are
fully aware Of this condition, so
since 1924 they have had Frank O.
Lowden posing as a defender Of the
interests Of the farmers in order to
pave the way for Dawes (also sud-
denly become interested in the ques-
tion of farm relief or some other re-
liable defender of Imperialism AS
long as Lowden and other stalking

class elements win pin their faith in
them -cnd remain within the party.

both the two old parties.

magnitude, that the leaders of both

Tresca is charged under the Sulli-
