castings were the principal items of
Soviet imports into this country.
Total purchases were about 1884,
100000 and sales S16,o00,000.
Machinery Orders Increase
It must be noted, however, that
in the past two years industrial
equipment became an item of in
creasing Importance on the Soviet
purchase list here. Orders placed
for machinery and other equipment
for Soviet factories now being built
or expanded amounted for the past
nine months to about $10,000,000
AS against about 100000 in the
corresponding period of the preced-
ing Soviet fiscal year. Purchases
of agricultural machinery and sup
plies amounted to $8,771, 593, also
considerable increase over last
year,
"Of the raw materials, the prin-
cipal items were cotton, which is
being purchased by the All-Russian
Textile Syndicate, SO Broadway,
rubber and metals. These pur-
chases totaled for the nine months
S60,60s, 1928, more than double the
figure for the corresponding period
of the preceding year"
Purchases by the Amtorg Trad
ing Corporation, the All-Russian
Textile Syndicate, Centrosoyus-
America and Selskosojus-America,
the four principal companies en-
gagged in Soviet American trade,
amounted to S83,193,449. Sales of
Soviet products by the Amtorg,
Centrosoyus and Selskosojus
amounted to Sill, 965,073.
Shipments of products to the U.
S. s. H. by American concession
aires, imports of Russian manganese
into this country by the Georgian
Manganese Company and sales of
furs here by American firms hav-
ing special contracts, aggregating
about $5,000,000, must be added to
the above figures.

VIC oiu SdpiIdheC OIueT is struggling
to save its prerogative. Capitalist
competition has developed malad-
justment between production and
consumption to the point where prof
its can be saved only by reducing
labor costs.
The predicament of the British
railway workers is closely parallel
to that of their fellows in this coun-
try. They face the sorry choice of
reductions in wage rates or reduc-
lions in the number of jobs. In the
last 2 years the British railways
have effected drastic savings at the
expense of their staffs by laying off
men. Part-time work has also been
common in the shops.
Speed Up.
Alongside this reduction Of 10000
workers there has been a continue
ton Of the speeding up which has
made the occupation of the average
railwaymen today one of the most
strenuous and nerve-wracking in the
whole of industry.
That sounds as if it had been
clipped from an American labor pa
per concerning reductions in force
in this country. Nor are the railway
workers the only ones who face this
predicament in both countries. In
England as in the United States
there is no adequate market for the
full product Of the coal mines and
in both countries hundreds of thou
sands of coal diggers are out of
work while the remainder work for
low wages. In the steel industry
steady improvement of machinery
has been cutting the number Of jobs
offered by blast furnaces and mills
on both sides of the Atlantic. In
textiles it is the same.
Growing Unemployment.
The last 8 weeks has seen steady
growth of unemployment in Eng
land, the registered number of un-
employed having risen to 1,217,00O

OPPOSITIONjN
EGYPT GROWING
New Move Attempts to
Remove Nationalist

CAIRO, Egypt, July 21.-Feeling
runs high here against the latest
move of King Fuad, who dissolved
congress and suspended elections
for three years, leaving the country
under a virtual dictatorship.
The nationalist party of Egypt,
the Wafdists, are extremely angered
at the move, which they consider
an attempt to end their opposition
to cooperation with England and
her governors.
Have Big Following
The Wafdists have a huge follow
ing in Egypt, which will not stand
for cooperation with England,
which they look upon as their sup
pressor, nor are they disposed to
stand for this recent move and the
accompanying state of military
rule.
The nationalist consider the alb
rogating of whatever civil rights
were theirs as lmaneuver on the
part of England, under the cover
Of the king, to subject Egypt to
complete dictatorship under British
Imperialism.
The Wafdists have exhibited in
the past their enmity to British
domination and their opposition in
the congress, together with public
support, has forced England into
dictatorship and military rule, in
an endeavor to wipe them out, they
say.
The cabinet is headed by Premier
Mohamud, wealthy business man.
The cabinet itself is composed
chiefly of merchants and industrial
lists.

of British population are slowly dy-

Demand New Status.
Such contrasts abound in every
capitalist country. Unemployment
grows chronic. The workers are
asked to cooperate in preserving
stability. This means that they are
asked to cooperate in reducing labor
costs in order that the few may
continue to buy Injuries during the
period of transition to a new era
Are the workers going to let slip
this opportunity for demanding
new status in the age which is to
follow?

Fascist Troops ROut,
Kill 100 in TripOli

TRIPOLI, July 22.-The band of
tribesmen revolving against the Ital-
ian rule in Tripoli were attacked by
fascist troops, causing fifty to be
killed and an equal number wounded.
The revolutionists suffered casu-
alties double those of the troops,
which consisted mostly of natives
and were differed by Italians.

Disturbs Imperialists

LONDON, July 21.-At the mo-
ment when the capitalist world is
patting itself on the back over the
Kellogg peace pact, the news from
Egypt is extremely disquieting.
King Fuad's suspension Of the
Egyptian parliament for three years
places Great Britain in the posi-
ton of fathering the latest dictator
ship of the old world.
1t seems obvious that King Fuad
and his new premier, Mohamud
Pasha, had British consent in dis
solving the Egyptian senate and
chamber of deputies and instituting
direct rule by the king and pre-
mier, which is regarded as bearing
many resemblance to the Spanish
and Italian relationships.

New Gas Process Is
Attracting Experts

LINTON. Ind. Dec. 26 G.N.S.l--A
new process of making gas. tried
for the first commercial use here,
has attracted the attention of ex-
perts from many States.
A hydrocarbon, known as butane,
is the basis of the process. Shipped
here in tank cars and in liquid
form, the butane is mixed in suf-
ficient quantity of air to formulate
gas on the same principle as gaso-
line and air are mixed in the car
buretors Of an automobile.
Under the new method, expensive
equipment necessary in larger cities
is eliminated and tas service. there
fore, is available to small commu-
mites which could not get it if the
supply had to come from the sys.
tenn in general use.
