Germans See Imperialism.

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-The German
capitalist papers laugh at the "peace
and good will' camouflage thrown
over the tour of inspection which
President-elect Hoover is making
through American colonies and
prospective colonies in Latin Amer
lea.
The Deutsche Allgemeine zietung
says:
"The relations of the United
States to most Latin American coun-
tries were and are not of the best.
The North American diplomats sue
ceeded in preventing the Latin
American States from building a
solid, unified front against Wash
ington and revived the binding
power of the Monroe Doctrine. But
the latest antagonism between the
forth and the south was not settled.
"That Mr.. Hoover wishes TO ap-
pear as the representative, in a
sense well known, of the power of
expansion of the United States, is
shown by the fact that he is MAX
ing the trip on the warship Mary
land. Mr.. Hoover is travelling not
only as g business man but also as
the representative of a powerful
navy with which the Latin American
countries are not able to compete.
at is reported that his trip is to
serve as a means of studying the
prospects for a second Panama Canal
through Nicaragua, However, it is
rot to be expected that that fact
will lead to the withdrawal Of the
marines from Nicaragua, where they
are the cause of so much scandal in
Latin America"
The purpose Of Hoover's trip, ac-
cording to the Vossiche Zeitung, is
the consolidation of the Monroe
Doctrine to the ultimate degree, for
new investments of North American
capital and for closer economic hege-
lnony between the United States
and the south"
There are two observers of the
president-elect's journey and they
are following with anguish the prog
ress of tie Stars and Stripes on the
Maryland, namely, England and
Spain. To PIT the matter bluntly,
there will be a struggle in the near
future between the pound and the
dollar for supremacy in Latin-Amer-
lean economies"

THOMAS WOULD

Would Form New Party
Of 'Progressives'

At the bi-weekly luncheon Satur-
day of the League for Industrial
Democracy, the reverend Norman
Thomas, recently the candidate of
the socialist party for president of
the United States, spoke for the dis
solution of the socialist party,
proved what Communists have long
known, that the socialist party was
and is no more a party of the work
ing class than the republican and
democratic parties, and urged the
liberals and progressive" in those
parties to "get together with the
socialists" in ian effective opposi-
ton to the republican party" which
is pictured as new liberal party.
eve must start the work of or
ganization now. We cannot expect
the labor movement to take the
lead, considering the present leader
ship it has" Thomas added that
he would soon have a more specific
program on which his "progres-
sives" and socialists could unite.
The lecture was given under the
title of What Next; a Political
Symposium" and DR.. Henry Mos
kowitz, a democrat, and former rep
resentative Chandler, republican,
also spoke.
eff America rejected the mild lib
eralism of Smith" Moskowitz added,
"what chance is there for social

Chandler declared that the recent
election showed that the country
"has. no need of either democrats OF
socialists" and said that the "pro-
gressives' chance lay in Occasion

publican party.

real understanding of motor plants
is possible until one is familiar with
the assembly lines which bring to-
gether the different parts of the
car. The Hudson goes through in
about an hour and a half, the belt
moving about 10 feet a minute,
which is 10 feet a minute faster
than it moved 10 years ago.
The tendency is to run the line
just as fast as the human machines
beside it can be made to keep up
with it and complete. their opera
tons. And young workers are bet
ter able to stand the pace. 1t has
been estimated by a Chrysler en-
ployment manager that not more
than two per cent of the men on
this production work are over 80 to
35 years of age.
The machine sets the pace and
does the driving. No man can be
lazy even if he wants to be. Work
ers in certain Dodge departments
complaint that the line moves so
fast they can't leave it for a second
even to get a drink of water. If
worker does interrupt the process
in any way he is committing the
cardinal sin in the world of mass
production holding up the line"
That's when foreman may be
needed to supplement the moving
apparatus and to give the worker
warning, a scolding or "bawling
out" telling him how many men
there are outside who would like
his job.
Straw bosses, the workers call
these inspectors and work leaders.
Against them, and the foremen, the
workers grumble often and vigor-
ously, especially when the bosses in
sist upon shouting: "Speed 'em up"
crush along there" Better keep
busy, the big boss's liable to be
along any minute" or you're hold
ing up production, get a move on"
these and hundred other varia-
tons of the incessant speed-up
theme. And sometimes, as workers
in the Briggs plant have testified
there may even be physical kick
to accompany the verbal lashing.
One careful student of the Ford
plant shows that Gin 1919 in the
motor assembly room on certain
conveyor lines the unfinished motors
moved by given point at the rate
of 40 an hour; by 1925 they were
moving at the rate of 60 an hour.
On other lines in 1919 the rate of
speed was 120 an hour; in 1925 it
had been increased to 1870 an hour"
AS a result of this speeding the
Ford plants were in 1925 turning
out 1920 cars week with the same
machinery with which they had
manufactured only $4,000 cars a
week in 1920. Since the report was
made the speed has been still fur
Their increased both at Ford's and
at all other plants.
But increased production does not
usually result in an increase even
Of nominal wages. Workers on the
motor block line in a Hudson Essex
department were reported recently
to be turnin govt 800 pieces for the
same wages they received when do
ing 500 to 600 pieces. A student
who worked summer in a Detroit
plant writes, 81 have seen men who
made more than the required $40
pieces per hour have their schedule
/ increased to 400 pieces per hour
