PICKING, Aug. 18.--While the
Roy Chapman Andrews expedition
into the Cobb Desert of Mongolia
failed to find evidence that human
life, as symbolized by the first pre-
dawn man, originated in that re.
gion, it did make astounding dis
coveries of new forms OF prehistoric
animal life which will astonish the
world, according to members of the
expedition here today.
Men and women OF the stone age
10000 years ago, thrived in the
Monaghan Desert, although it was
not a desert at that time.
1t was fertile region OF lakes,
rivers and abundant vegetation.
Stone implements used in hunting
and in every day life were dis
covered by the explorers.
Huge Monster
One Of the most interesting dis
coveries was the fossil remains OF
an animal that dwarfed anything Of
the dinosaur age. This monster,
which thrived in the then fertile
jungles Of Mongolia. was probably
200 tons in weight and lived on
vegetation. Single bones OF this
ancient monster are as big as a
full grown man. 1t often grew as
high as the Woo1worth Building.
The theory of the scientists of
the expedition was that the beast
grew so enormous that it eventually
succumbed to its own size.
Life 100000 Years Ago
Fossils dug from the clay OF hill
sides indicated that there was ami
NAL life in Mongolia more than
5000, 900 years. ago.
Careful study OF data indicates
that the Cobb Desert was probably
thickly settled BY cave dweIlers
10000 years ago.
The Andrews party brought nearly
100 packing cases to Picking contain
ing fossils ana implements of all
kinds. Even this collection il in
complete for some of the discoveries
had to be left behind. owing to the
inability Of the expedition to carry
them.

HOOver's Plan For permanent
Capitalism"

Of course Herbert. Hoover's project for
SO, 900, 100000 fund to stabilize prosperity"
is not a proposal to do anything for the work
ing class, but just the reverse.
That is why the convention of bureaucrats
of the American Federation of Labor at New
Orleans received the proposal so cordially.
The American Federation of Labor must al
ways be the first servant to kiss the feet OF
any imperialist proposing vast scheme for
further suppression of the working class.
In the nature of things the president-elect
who is put in office through the power and
at the expense of finance-capital is there to
increase to the very highest possible degree
the amount of surplus profit extracted from
the working class by the great industrial
combines and banks, and to extend colonial
empire for the super-exploitation of colonial
slaves e American finance-capital through
out II ! orld
The -rojcct of Hoover is one of the i'm
portant developments of the past few weeks
that, along with Coolidge's Armistice Day
speech and Hoover's own empire tour"
through Latin-America are tangible signs
of the sharp advance in United States I'M
periaHsm. Hoover, undertaking the role of
"super-engineer" of American capitalism,
was put into office on a program of world
conquest The Wall Street empire of which
he dreams cannot but look beyond the two
American continents, to the continents of
Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.
But the latest Hoover plan undertakes to
guard against the forces which will over
throw capitalism, imperialism and all of the
hideous, bloody structure of world-slavery of
which this super-Caesar dreams. Hoover is
not fool, but he is a capitalist wise man."
and his plan for permanent capitalism will
fall into the most gigantic wreck ever to be
known to history. Hoover sets himself to
overcome the laws of capitalist development,
decay and decline. He sets himself as the
leader of capitalism who will destroy the law
according to which capitalist society in
evitably-by the forces of its own expansion
in prosperity the worlds economic
processes into panic, crisis, stagnation, I'M
employment, vast movements of the proe
tariat and of the colonial people, and
revolution. By holding back" construction
currently undertaken, the present army of
unemployed, between three and four million
lis augmented, and for the workers the re-
suit will be that they can starve slowly and
by smaller regiments rather than all at once
in one grand crash.

Underground Organization.
The creation of a foreign organ,
which was forbidden in Germany,
was of necessity followed by the
construction of an illegal apparatus
for it's distribution. The "Rote
Feldpost," as this organization was
called, became the basis for the re-
sumption of all organizational
wires" which had been severed un-
der the destructive effect of the
law, and thus also the basis of the
reconstruction of the Party organ

the collections arranged by the Par
ty in aid of the exiled victims of
the Small state of SIEGE" which
also constituted a form of recon-
struction of the prohibited organ

inexhaustible ingenuity, the prole-
tartan masses of Party members de-
veloped the methods of their poll
tical and organizational work, thus

BY A. B. MAGIL.

The New York Volkszeitung has
been having its hands full of late
trying to reconcile the mass of con-
tradictions and hypocrisies that
constitute its policy. Its editor, the
renegade, Ludwig Lore, who was
expelled from the Workers (Com-
munist) Party at the fourth ma
tional convention of the Party in
August, 1925, for his virulent re-
formism and opportunism, has been
doing some remarkable balancing
stunts. In the field of international
politics his opportunist task is COM
paratively easy. Since no action by
Lore himself is involved, he can
sling revolutionary" phrases with
impunity, tho, of course, he never
loses an opportunity to Islander the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, the German Communist
Party and with discretion since it
is fashionable for even liberals
nowadays to purr sweet words
about 'the Russian experiment")
the Soviet Union itself. And it is
not remarkable that this thorough
going reformist and renegade should
be one of the most voluble American
champions of Trotsky and Trotsky-
ism.
But IN the American scene Lore's
Job is not quite so easy. He is for
the policies of the American sFedera-
ton of Labor and against them; he
IS "for' the Communists and
the left wing and against them; for
the yellow socialist party and
against" it, and SO on. Aloof from
the fray, viewing it's petty turmoil
with an impartial" eye. Ludwig
Lore, super" revolutionist," careful
ly weighs the merits of each side
and hands down the law. A pleas
ant and highly flattering role. But
like all such impartial" detached"
observers, when the test comes. this
super-revolutionist is always against
revolution and for betrayal.
This sort of intellectual charlat-
antry seems to have landed Com
rade" Lore with one foot at least
if not with BOTH in the socialist
party swamp, fact which has be-
come increasingly apparent during
the last few weeks. In an editorial
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-11-23
Lore, Editor of "Volkszeitung," Going Fast
Towards Socialist Party

on Oct. % he praises the election
campaign of the socialist party as
having been in welcome contradis-
tinction to the campaigns of the
"other working class parties" He
speaks of the SIPS earnest eff
forts. to deal with the campaign
issues without shooting its brother
parties in the back"
The fact that this gentleman, who
still pretends to be a follower of
Marx and Lenin, invariably speaks
of the socialist party as working
class party, is sufficient revelation
of the depths to which the lofty
Olympian has sunk. Probably no
party in the Second International
has gone further to the right, has
become more openly a petty bour-
geois organization than the American
socialist party. In this the S. P. has
the advantage over most of its
brother parties of the yellow inter
national since it no longer has even
a small proletarian following to COM
pei it to maintain some pseudo-so-
cialistic window dressing.
But Lore chooses to ignore all
this. In an editorial on Nov. he
deplores the division among the
working class parties" (including in
this category the socialist and So
cialist labor parties), and suggests
united front" during the elections.
(Of course there exists no such d.
vision as Lore processes to deplore
since there is only one workingclass
party, the Workers Communist
Party, which is divided from all
parties of the bourgeoisie, whether
they appear openly as such or under
various socialist" guises.)
Lore's friendliness to the socialist
party is further evidenced in his
official regrets over the defeat of
Victor Berger, the wealthy S. P.
bureaucrat and publisher of the Mil
waukee Leader, the yellow Social
ist" sheet which accepts scab adver-
tisements, apes the Hearst papers

RENEGADE Makes Progress

socialist party elector had received
$4,000 from Col. Herbert Lehman,
Tammany candidate for lieutenant
governor, to carry on his campaign
against the rank and file.
When police and right wing thugs
attack meeting of the Retail Gro
Gerry, Dairy and Fruit Clerks Union
(Oct. ,30), Lore doesn't trouble him
self to find out the facts. He merely
has one. of his flunkies rewrite the
capitalist press. Unfortunately for
Lore and the Volkszeitung, the cap
itahst press outdid itself in the re-
porting of this story. Such idiocies,
such wholesale fabrications are
more brazen than is usual even for
the prostitute sheets. But Lore, the
detached, impartial" observer, re-
hashed most of them.
So lofty has Lore become that he
is contemptuous even of those in
whose name he processes to speak.
The results of the elections show
"the utter stupidity of the American
voters" editorial of Nov. 81. The
triumph of Hoover is the triumph
of Wall Street "over the stupid
masses" (the same).
These are the terms of cynical
aristocratic hopelessness in which
this "workingclass leader" reacts to
the present victory of American i'm
perialist reaction.
Perhaps it was only one of those
condolences that on the same day
(Oct. 28) that Lore praised the cleo
ton campaign of the socialist party
tricky and treacherous article on
Tom. Mooney appeared in the Eng
fish department of the Volkszeitung's
magazine section, written by the
Rev. Norman Thomas. incidentally,
this article was also printed by In
dustrial Solidarity, organ of the l.

lished in the same English depart
ment an ecstatic blurb for the Bri-
fish Labor Party and an article by

lie prosecutors, police functionaries,
etc.
Before the decree of the emergen-
cy law the Party relied chiefly on
certain economically backward re-
gions of misery, such as Chemnitz
and the villages of the Erzgebirge.
The bulk of the weavers in these
parts, hit by the progress of the
steam loom, and forced to exc out
their existences by all sorts of ac-
cessory employment at home, such
as the carving of toys, were easily
accessible to the teachings of So
cialism. But these classes repre-
scented an uncertain basis for the
Party. At the very first elections
after the PRONUNCIATION of the So
cialist Law it was apparent that the
Party had made step forward and
had conquered an additional foot
ing in the great industrial cities.

and cannot in appearance or policy
be distinguished from any other cap
itafist newspaper. An editorial note
in the Volkszeitung of Nov s states:
"The reelection of Victor Ber-
ger, which we announced yester-
day after we had received report
from the national campaign bu-
reau of the socialist party, has
unfortunately not been confirmed.
With his defeat the socialist party
loses its only congressman and the
American workingclass its only
spokesman in the national house of
representatives"
American workers will be sur
prised to learn that they had a
spokesman in the house of represen-
tatives.
Lore knows the true character of
the socialist party; despite his re-
formism, he is not quite so naive.
But Lore has purpose. 1t is not
for nothing that this professed
Communist" let's pass no opportu-
nifty to throw mud at the Workers
(Communist) Party. And it is not
for nothing that he speaks with
such sympathetic understanding of
the socialist party. Lore is isolated
and it isn't pleasant for a man of
his stripe to be isolated. And since
the Communists will have none of
him, he finds the feeble fires of the
socialist party very comforting to
his soul. Despite his political sophis-
tication, it is easy-and quite con-
venient-for him to grow ideologic-
ally towards the socialist party. And
SO Lore, who at first pretended to
be sympathetic to the left wing in
the cloakmakers' union, is now sup
porting the president of the scab
international, Benjamin Schlesinger,
the tool of the yellow Forward and
friend of Tammany Hall. Inciden-
tally, the Volkszeitung took special
pains to "clear" Schlesinger of the

Abyssinia Human He'll
With 100000 Slaves

LONDON, Nov. 22.-In Abys-

lists have substantial control, there
are 100000 slaves, despite the
continual statements of Ras Tafari,
its king, that he will abolish slavery.
During the last two years be has
only liberated 1,109 slaves.
Ras Tafari gives as his excuse
that the native chieftains and
priests object to the abolition of the
system, but those better acquainted
with conditions which prevail in a
country exploited by foreign cap
italists claim that these chiefs and
priests must get substantial returns
for the slaves they sell to mill and
mine owners.
Visitors to Abyssinia describe that
country as human hell.

contractor, to the labOrer, to the material men,
to the factory, to the factory employees to the
merchants, to the farmer. 1t goes like the
house that Jack Built and unemployment is
at end"
But Hoover and his spokesman will be
sweeping back the waves of a sea that will
drown them despite the S3,000000,000 broom.
1t must be remembered that the "stabiliza-
ton of prosperity" project is only small
part of the Hoover program. Warships and
the invasion of the Latin-American countries,
the lust for conquest of all Asia, the bull
doing of Europe, the malignant enmity to-
ward the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
-imperialist d-war-constitute the rest
of the Hoover program
But what will the S3,000,000,000 fund pro-
ject mean in the very narrOwest sense in
which Mr.. Bill Green speaks when he says:
'The proposal approved by President-elect
Hoover is an unqualified endorsement of La
boris program? Or Johnny Frey, when he
says:
Its substance not only complete
dOrsement of our trade union basis for wages
but in addition endorsement of of
the policies of this federation for relieving I'M
employment through the utilization of a re-
accumulation in times of plenty"
These utterances of the A. F. of L. fat
boys are the veriest criminal rot, though of
course the worst capitalist plan is truly an
endorsement of A. F. of L. policies. If the
project goes through it will mean the more
direct, the more controlled use of government
funds for the purpose of policing the working
class during periods of economic depression
and wide movements of unrest To ham
string the trade union organizations to split
up demoralize and defeat the working class
at moment of crisis, will be the aim. It
would lower the standards of the working
class-for the project is of the capitalist
GLASS; and its administration would be by
government which exists only to suppress,
defeat and exploit the masses at the highest
degree possible for the benefit of the parasite
capitalist class.

In Party practice this internal
change was first characterized by
the fact that the creation of a. for
eign organ of the Party for the pur-
pose of illegal circulation in Ger
many became the most-contested
crucial problem of internal party
discussion. All the Right elements
opposed the foundation of such a
publication and with them at first
went the better part Of the leaders,
not excluding Bebel. Even under
the emergency law, they did not de-
sire to overstep the limits of legal
ity. 1t was only under pressure on
the part of the members that this
resistance of the petty bourgeois
leaders was broken.
Even prior to this, however, in
Brussels, Karl Hirsch, a comrade
exiled from Berlin, had upon his
own account founded a periodical
called "Die Laferne," in which he
criticized the poor behavior of the
Party. He was followed by another
exiled socialist, one Johann Most in
London, who founded the ''Freiheit,"
a publication which, it is true, sub
sequently passed completely into
the channels of tty-boergeois
anarchism At the time of the great
est chaos in the Party, however.
these independent publications of in
dividual comrades soon had their
circle of readers in Germany.
