E. Mitchell of the National City
Bank of New York welcomed the de-
velopment as an aid to the whole
banking business. Mitchells state
ment indicated that labor banking fit
ted in well with the plans of the domi-
nant financiers, by breaking down
class lines between workers and own
ers, by spreading an idea that bank
ers are not parasites and by getting
the workers into the habit of using
commercial banks, thus providing a
basis for further expansion of credit.
Prior to labor banking one of the
problems of bankers had been to get
the workers weekly balance of I'M
spent wages into the banks to increase
reserves against commercial loans.
Wage earners mistrusted the banks.
The stocking or ginger jar or some
other hiding place at home contained
the family working capital until it
was spent.
Labor banks, and especially the ac-
companying propaganda, have gone
far to break down this barrier of mis-
trust For every wage dollar avail
able to the labor banks probably 10
swell the reserves of the capitalist
banks.

''There can be no doubt" says the
Mexican Press Service, semiOfficial
organ of the government, "that the
American ambassador, Mr.. Morrow,
will play an important role in the set
Element of this matter Mr. Morrow
who is to be regarded not only as
spokesman of the North American
administration but also as represen-
tative of international finance has in
the last few weeks had an opportunity
to form a proper, unbiased opinion
concerning MeXico's development. His
recent trip through northern Mexico
with Pres. Gales has shown him what
education, irrigation and a raising of
the living standards of the Mexican
masses means to the entire Mexican
nation. He, more than anyone else,
will understand how little even pay
ment of the full amount of Mexico's
debt can mean to the international
bankers and how very much such pay
ment would mean to the Mexican gov
eminent at the present time; he also
will be the first to understand that in
the long run an amount so invested
will bring far greater results to Am
erican industry and finance than could
ever be expected from regular paying
off Of this obligation"
The international bankers have no
desire to strangle Mexico. They want
to annex it in business sense and
reorganize it in the interest of Amer
lean capital. This will serve the pur-
poses of profit better than political
annexation by the United States. This
is the real politics and Morrow is its
ambassador. Small items in the daily
press reveal the fact that other repre-
sentatives of the house of Morgan
are in Mexico City consulting him.
Now that the United States has be.
come the chief supplier of new CAPT
tai business diplomacy is taking the
place of big stick tactics.

Increasingly Dwight Morrow is re-
vealed as a receiver appointed to re-
organize bankrupt Mexico and it is
even rumored that his next job may
be in Russia where another people
has attempted to carry on business
according to other than strict capital
list practice. Another representative of
the house of Morgan is at present
playing the same role in Germany.
MeXico's problem is to secure
enough income over and above neces-
sary operating expenses to meet its
fixed charges. These, involving the
interest and sinking fund on its huge
funded debt, were fixed by agreement
with an international bankers COM
mittee of which Thomas Lamont of j.
2. Morgan & Co. was chief. For 1928
they amount to $58,500,000 which
would have to come out of a total
government income of $140,000,000.
Such large payment is impossible,
1T cannot be met without endangering
the educational, irrigation and road
building programs of the government.
Mexico is in the same position as a
corporation whose fixed charges are
too burdensome. 1t does not want
to meet the situation temporarily by
increasing its funded debt. 1t wants
change in the debt treaties which
is tantamount to a reorganization of
its financial structure. To obtain this,
like any corporation at the mercy of
the lords of credit, it must give the
bankers a say in the conduct of its
business. That is where Dwight Nor
row comes in.
Morrow is being consulted by the
president and finance minister of the
Mexican business concern. He is be-
ing given an opportunity to study all
the possibilities of the country as q
going concern. He will recommend
changes in its economic policy neces.
sary to assure ability to meet its
fixed charges and to secure the new

Elements of
Political Education
Continued from last week.

Is. WHAT WAS THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM OF
FEUDAL SOCIETY IN THE FIRST
STAGES?
The economic system of feudal society in the
first early stages OF its existence was generally an
agricultural type of economy natural in the char
acer of its production closed-in within the boun-
daries of the domain. The phenomenon of ex-
change existed only in an embryonic form, and
therefore there was at yet no money in circulation.
The relations between the village community the
peasant population and the owners of the domain,
which included the peasants lands were based upon
natural dues. There were separate peasant hold
lngs OF farm land, but these were distinguished by
their small dimensions; the greatest part of the
land was concentrated in the hands of the big land
lords and the church. The dependence of the peas.
ants upon the big landowners, who gave them
small portions of land for cultivation was express
ed IN the payment of rent to the landowner, or
the performance Of service by the peasant, i e.,
the latter worked a part of the week on the lands
OF the landlord. The rent was generally collected
IN natural form: grain, corn, flax, poultry eggs,
sheep, etc.; the labor was generally three DAYS in
the week. Both the landlords and peasants farms
were cultivated on the three-field system.
Being natural in character, the economic system
of the landlord sufficiently variegated, since
the landlord had to fulfill nearly all his needs by
his own production or by the production of his
serfs. Having under his rule fairly large guam
ty of labor power, the landlord was able to intro
duce within his economic system a certain divi-
sion of labor, making some engage in carpenters
work, other in construction, some in the making of
weapons, etc. Thus there arise in the manors the
beginnings of the medieval handicrafts
At this stage of feudal society, there are not yet
any urban economic systems. The cities of the
Roman Empire which survived the invasions OF
the Germans suffered a severe decline in an econ
omic and political sense, and lost their former
Importance, namely, the Importance of places
where exchange of commodities was carried on
where there was constant market. The majority
of the cities reduced to the level of villages
and the city territory was converted into farm
land. But even in those places where the cities
were preserved, as for example in Italy and in
Southern France, and where traces of the city's
free nandicrafts were preserved, they played an
insignificant role in comparison with the handi-
crafts of the feudal domains These city artisans
satisfied most of their needs by their own, also
natural, production; they had gardens and little
fields, their cattle which they pastured on the
common meadows, they spun and wove themselves
etc.
Such was the economic system of feuda society
IN the first century of its existence.
