The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-21

What is the answer of British cap
italism to this disturbing economic
situation? The files of 504 compa-
MES which published their accounts
in the first quarter of 1928 show a
Is percent jump in net profits. The
net profits were 61,800,000 pounds in
1923, 100000 in 1927. In miscel-
laneous industries the ordinary divi-
dend rate for 1928 was 14.2 percent
against 1876 percent for 1927. For
textiles the dividend rate remained
stationary at 10 percent; in shops
and stores it rose from Is percent to
II percent, in iron, coal and steel it
rose from 2.6 percent to Al percent.
Miners, railway workers, textile
workers have suffered wage cuts, in
creased working hours, increased in
tensity of labor and rising ratio of
exploitation. The excuse has been the
failure of British markets. Mean
while the British capitalist class ex-
acts an increasing return on its in
vestment.
Great Britain is the mother of cap
italism. 40 years ago the British cap
italists passed the zenith of their pros
perity. Since then they have been
driving down living standards while
they forced up returns on capital.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-21

none has business been reestablished
on the prewar basis.
Meanwhile food exports rise. Great
Britain imported 22,000,O00 hundred
weight Of wheat the first 3 months
of 1918, 26,000,0O0 in 1927 and &c.
100000 in 1928. The British bill for
imported meat was 100000 pounds
the first months of 1918, 24,000,0O0
pounds sterling the first months of
1928 Il pound, $4.86).
Imports Of iron, steel, tin and cop
per are greater in the first 3 months
Of 1928 than in the first 3 months of
1918. The imports of petroleum the
first 8 months of 1913 were 114,000,-
900 gallons. In the first months OF
1928, 466,000,000 gallons.
Britain is losing her world markets
The story is told in her shrinking ex-
ports and in her failure to recover
her trade during the economic wan
after the war.
Population Increases.
AS British agricultural production
shrinks, British population is increas-
ing. Year by year more food must
be imported. British resources are
failing. Minerals, fuels and industrial
raw materials must be imported in
larger quantities even in the face OF
diminishing exports Of finished com
modities.
