For MussOlini-and Al Smith.

spread the gospel of Fascismo in its

The Fascist Herald, which boasts of being
the only fascist newspaper published in the
English language, carried the above in its
second issue And in the same issue it carries
page:
"vote for Alfred E. Smith for President.

ton"
It would be a mistake to draw from this,
after the fashion of an empty-headed Heflin or
John Roach Straton, any conclusions affirm
ing ''the anti-Americanism of Al Smith nor
do we mean to prove any "anti-Americanism'
on the part of Mussolini's boot-licks in this

could find for doing in America the equivalent
of the work that Mussolini does in Italy. That
means destroying the labor movement Ito the

threats and conquest of weaker peoples for i'm

By REBECCA GRECHT.

The illusion that the democratic
party represents the ''plain people, +"
as opposed to the money power and
trusts, who find their political ex-
preston in the republican party
an illusion which still has sway over
the minds of millions of workers
has received heavy blow since the
national conventions of the CAPT
talistic parties.
Alfred E. Smith, democratic can
didate for the presidency, so-called
"friend of the people," enemy of
the trusts, and guardian of the
"public interests" selects as his
campaign manager and chairman of
the democratic national committee
John ]. Raskob, vice president and
director of General Motors, and at
the time of his appointment chair
man of the finance committee of
General Motors, thus directly asso-
ciated with J. P. Morgan, ruler of
American finance capital. Raskob
is also heavy stakeholder in the
United States Steel Corporation, of
which Morgan is the head.
In 1924, Raskob supported the
republican, Coolidge; in 1928, Ras-
kob becomes the campaign manager
for the democrat, Smith. A mem
Der of the ultra-republican Union
League Club of Philadelphia, Ras-
kob becomes also, by special cleo
ton, a member of the National
Democratic Club. He is now good
republican and a good democrat. In
other words-a good representative
of Morgan and Wall Street.
Thus Smith, the workers friend
places his campaign in the hands
of a capitalist who dominates one
of the most powerful open-shop,
anti-labor, billion-dollar corpora
tions in the United States-General
Motors, subsidiary of the House of
Morgan.
interchangeable Parties.
Raskob is not the only big bust
ness republican now turned demo-
crat. William H. Woodin, president
of the American Car and Foundry
Company and the American Loco
motive Company, has come out for
Smith. The democratic presidential
nominee can now boast of the sup
port of as good a capitalist and
financier as any backing Hoover.
In addition to being president of
the corporations mentioned above,
Woodin is a director of the Ameri-
can Exchange Securities Corpora
ton, Montreal Locomotive Works,
the Cuba Company, Cuba Railroad
Company, Compania Guiana Con-
solidated Railroads Of Cuba, and
American Ship and Commerce Cor
poration. He is a member of the
American Iron and Steel Institute,
the New York Chamber of Com
merce and the Merchants Associa-
ton. The action of Woodin was
hailed by Smith forces as indicating
the feeling Of assurance in financial
and industrial circles that Smith is
also their man, and big business has
nothing to fear from his election.
This is further indicated by the
split in the DUPONT family, one of
the pioneer republican big business
families in America. Frank and
T. Coleman Dupont support Hoover.
The more influential and powerful
figures, however, Pierre and E. I.

Another Chicago conlrade, who
does not wish to have his name pub
Iished, Che is employed on a trade
paper in La Sale ST., tells of his
visit to a vendor of optical goods.

The Democratic Bubble Bursts

party on the ground that it was op-
posed to a high tariff, Senator Pitt
man of Nevada, chairman of the
resolutions committee at the Hous-
ton convention, FASTENED to issue a
statement that the democratic
party has abandoned it's low tariff
policy. In his eagerness to assure
big business of the safeness of
Smith and the democratic party,
Pittman goes on to say:
"Permeating the whole demo-
cratic platform is the sentiment
for the protection of business,
both large and small. Men
like Raskob and Woodin, who have
greater business interests at
stake than Senator Smoot and all
the rest of the republican poll
ticians would not associate them
selves with democratic party and
be supporting the election of
Governor Smith if there were the
slightest doubt of the meaning
and sincerity of the democratic
party and the purposes of Gov
ernor Smith when he becomes
president"
Pittman is not alone in his pro-
testations. Leading democrats
seize every opportunity to assure
big business that they have nothing
to fear from this representative of
the "plain people," who would pro-
tect them and fight the working
class just as we'll as Hoover could,
and is as much defender of Ameri-
can imperialism as the republican
candidate.
Smith Flag in Wall Street.
Thus the liberal mask of the
democratic party has been torn off.
While in the past the two capitalist
parties have expressed the separate
interests of different groups or sec
tons within the capitalist class, to-
day this no longer holds. We have
witnessed in American within the
last 25 or 30 years tremendous
consolidation of economic power,
the growth of huge industrial and
financial combinations, gigantic
accumulation and concentration of
capital. Industrial and bank capt.
tai have merged. Finance capital
rules America. Finance capital
dominates its twin political repre-
sentatives-through Andrew Mellon,
the republican party, and through
John j. Raskob, the democratic
party.
1t is no accident that for the first
time a democratic banner floats
over Wall Street. Smith is safe for
business, and American amperial-
ism. Wall Street has taken him to
its bosom as andidate-even
though it may decide that Hoover
is preferable choice for election.
