an enslaved world to judge from its words:
1T would be dangerous part
to expect any favorable change. .
Coolidge reprOached with having
chased gaiety and smiles out of the White
House. 1t is scarcely Hoover even with his
great qualities who will bring them back"
On the other hand the Paris Matin fawns
before Hoover with the hope of kindness;
Hoover is the man who brought American
business to the degree of prosperity it
joys today. He is the who in years
increased by IS per cent the exports of the
United States.
But he is also the man who in the dark
days of 1914 aided the famished populations
of invaded Belgium and France and wish
him all the success he deserves.
The German capitalist press for the most
part falls over itself with hope for kind
nesses from the new warden of the world
penitentiary. The Lokalanzeiger makes no
bones of it-Hoover is, in the mind of this
paper, to force through policy Through
out the world" This Berlin paper says:
"Hoover's victory means that the White
House will continue policies that have proved
most advantageous to Germany. The newly
elected president is famous an economist
and Germany, with its Dawes problem, hopes
that he will be able to force through sound
economic policy throughout the world In
view of the reparations problem we are glad
to see at the head of America who will
place economic realities above political am
bitons.'
The Nachtausgabe says.
"HOover's election means the continuation
of the present American policy. America will
stick with determination to the carrying out
OF its naval armament plans and will not con-
fuse the European debt problem with the
will be stronger than Coolidge's because he
knows European conditions better from his
activities on this side of the ocean,"
But the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,
representing heavy industrial interests, goes
in for equally heavy sentiment:
His brain power makes Mr. Hoover a great
statesman. Let us hope that his heart will i'm
part human warmth to this greatness, for
without it nothing truly great ac-
complished in this world"
All comment that has been cabled over
from the European press in general shows
a consciousness of the fact that new squirt
of aggressiveness of American imperialism
is foreshadowed by the election of Hoover.
South America and the Far East are sadly
consigned to the American imperialists as
their meat. Mexico is as good as doomed to
colonial existence in the backyards of Wall
Street, in the view of those whose language
dares to hint anything about it.
But the comments quoted here are solely
from organs of capitalism. Necessarily, these
capitalist papers cannot have any true con-
ception of the revolutionary forces which will
keep Hoover from being president of the
world" They are slavish in their attitude to
the big, fat Hoover-symbolical fat-the
symbol of the present tendency toward con-
centration of the world power in the Ameri-
can oligarchy. This is true, even though
the British and other ruling classes are them
selves looking to the coming world war as
chance to dispute the power of the Wall
Street giant. And to the revolutionary forces,
these capitalist powers are of course the bit
terest enemies. But evolution-inevitable,
memorable world revoution-stand between
Hoover and his world throne World war
stands between Hoover and his world
throne and out of the world war-world
revolution of both 'home" proletarians and
colonial subjects.
That Hoover knows this, that he is an ex-
pert in fighting the forces of revolution on
behalf of reactions fundamental reason
why Wall Street put Hoover over Hoover
is an expert in Central Europe where by
trickery and violence he engineered the over
throw of the workers Soviet government
of Hungary; he is an expert on China, and
an expert on Soviet Russia-also from the
point of view of counter-revoution.
Herbert Hoover is the symbol Of world en-
slavement. The struggle against American
Imperialism is world struggle into which
the masses of the United States of Latin
America of Asia and Europe must be drawn
and will be drawn.
The Workers (Communist) Party of Amer
lea is the opposite pole to the Wall Street
oligarchy headed by Hoover 1t alone leads
the fight against the coming imperialist
world war. 1t alone tells the workers that
to work for the defeat of the Wall Street
government in the coming imperialist war is
the way to bring the greatest benefit to the
toiling masses of this country It alone tells
