ART REPRODUCED
 IN GEMS FOR DRESS ORNAMENTS

NEW YORK-The woman of today is ornamenting her costume with gem-pictures of famous buildings, we'll known landscape scenes and sundry architectural triumphs, where diamond and em erald studded brooches or barpins used to be.
 London has sent to New York shipment of diamond-outlined Japanese temples, formal designs of sacred places of worship in the Orient. A long. oblong slab of diamond forms the pillar of the fane. and smaller round and square cut ones mount in the de- sign to a luminous peak of tho arch.
 In the lot on display in an ex- elusive Fifth avenue shop is de sign that has caused consterpa- ton among the salespersons Guesses on it's identity have va ried from Grants Tomb to the Church of Notre Dame. But at least it is building carried out in jewels.
 Landscapes of extreme width and length are reported to have found great favor among the London ladies, and now simple black frock is seldom seen unless it has a pin two inches by three inches depicting a pastoral scene upon it's front expanse.
 A little house with diamond walls, coral roof, a diamond pail sade, jade shade trees and aii onyx background is popular model. Others are more rural scenes, with dots of topaz indi- eating the contented herd lowing in the distance.

W0MAN'S SMALL FARM IS M 0 DEL IN EAST TEXAS

WOODLAKE, Texas, Feb. 16-- A woman is the exponent of ln- tensive agriculture in eastern Texas
 Four Pines, the 2i-acre farm Of Mrs. J. Lewis Thompson, is a model of the new idea in farming where extensive agrica tare has been general because of the cheapress Of land.
 It enF,ia1izcs the in,pogt-a1a Of a comfortable. attractive hum,. The source of living is secondary to the mode of living. But the raising of poultry, garden and dairy products is done on a scien. tific and business basis, there be- ing systematic crop rotation and adequate shelter for purebrcd fowls and animals.
 Much of the food consumed by the family is produced on tho farm. Eggs, tomatoes, sorghum and cotton provide the income for buying manufactured articles.
 Mrs. Thompson believes that the small farm is "a neglected field of opportunity.
 "A community of small farms," she says, "is the most desirable place to live, thanks to the auto mobile, which links us with the city, and also thanks to electric power, which relieves us of the drudgery. Here Individuality has free play Nothing is more chal. lensing b ones wits than .ho competitive spirit Of nature"

colonial countries who have become
scared by the revolutionary mass
movement. BY plundering the colo
MES and semi-colonies, the bour-
geoisie in the most powerful imperi-
alist states obtain supplementary ex-
cess profits, out of which they
raised the wages Of a section of the
workers in the home countries and
in this way gave them an interest in
this plumber and bought their loyalty
to the imperialist "fatherland," This
systematic bribery particularly af
fected the aristocracy of labor and
the bureaucratic strata of the work
ing class: the leading elements of
social democracy and the trade I'M
ions, who proved to be the direct
channels of bourgeois influence
among the proletariat and stalwart
pillars of the capitalist system.
But, by stimulating the growth
Of the corrupt upper stratum of the
working class, Imperialism at last
destroys the influence of that
stratum among the working class,
because the increasing contradictions
of imperialism, the worsening of the
conditions of the broad masses of
the workers, the enormous cost and
burdens of military conflicts, the
fact that certain Powers have lost
their monopolistic position in the
world market-loss of colonies, etc,
undermine the basis of social dem
ocracy among the masses.
Similarly, the treachery of the ma
tional bourgeoisie in the colonies and
semi-colonies and their rapproche-
ment with the imperialist powers
leads, in the final analysis, to the
intensification of imperialist OPP
preston, to the decline of national
bourgeois influence among the
masses of the people, to the intensi-
fication of the revolutionary crises,
to the unleashing Of the mass agra
rian revolutionary movement and to
the creation of favorable conditions
for establishing the hegemony of the
colonial proletariat in the popular,
mass struggle for independence and
complete national liberation.
Imperialism has greatly developed
the productive forces of world cap,

it has demonstrated that the pro-

Imperialism, therefore, is moribund

of such struggles in an increasingly
acute form. To an increasing extent
it leads to the method of fighting,
by forcing down prices, being aban-
doned in favor Of methods of forcible
pressure (boycott, high protection,
tariff wars, wars proper, etc.. Con-
sequently, the monopolist form of
capitalism is inevitably accompanied
by imperialist wars, which by the
area they embrace and the destruc-
tiveness of their technique are unex-
ampled in the worlds history
Under such circumstances state
power and the armed forces of the
state acquire special significance for
the bourgeoisie. Hence, finance cap
ital reveals a tendency to develop
state capitalist forms, which on the
one hand facilitate the struggle for
foreign markets and the military
mobilization of industry, and on the
other hand lead to the exceptionally
monstrous growth of militarism
(armies, naval and air fleets, the
employment of chemistry and bac-
teriology).
Thus the epoch of imperialism re-
produces the fundamental contradic-
tions of capitalism to an ever-in-
creasing degree. Competition among
small capitalists ceases, only to
make way for competition among
big capitalists; where competition
among big capitalists subsidies, it
flares between gigantic combinations
of millionaires and their govern
ments. Local and national crises be-
come transformed into crises affect
ing number of countries, and sub
sequently into world crises. Local
wars give place to wars between
coalitions of states and to world
wars. The class struggle is trans
formed from isolated actions of sep
arate groups of workers into nation
wide struggles and subsequently in
to an international struggle between
the world proletariat and the world
bourgeoisie. Two main revolutionary
forces are organizing against the
powerfully organized forces of
finance capital; on the one hand the
workers in the capitalist states; on
the other hand, the masses of the
people in the colonies oppressed by
foreign capital are marching under

mate this contradiction by cutting
road by fire and sword towards a
single world state-capitalist trust,
which is to organize the whole of
world industry. But this ultra-im-
perialist utopia-so highly praised
by the social democratic biologists
encounters objective obstacles Of
such magnitude that capitalism must
inevitably fall beneath the weight of
its own contradictions. Imperialist
wars, which are growing into world
wars and by which the law Of the
Capitalization of capitalism strives
to reach its utmost world limits-a

by so much destruction. and impose
such burdens upon the shoulders of

Of the proletarian revolution.
Imperialism is the highest phase
of development of capitalism. 1t de-
veloped the productive forces of
world industry to enormous dimen-
sions and has re-fashioned the whole
world to it's own model. Thus it
draws within the orbit of finance
capitalist exploitation all the colo

The Workers (Communist) Party
has been carrying on many cam
paigns. The workers of the coun-
try know the activity of the Party
in Passaic. They know that the
Party members have been active in
the miners strike, in the strike in
New Bedford. They know that the
Communists have done their full
share in raising relief for the min
ers and textile workers, and in pro-
viding for the defense of the ar
rested workers.
The workers know that the Com
munist Party is the only force in
the country for combating imper-
ialism. They know that there is no
pacifism in the propaganda and or
ganization of the Communist Par
ty, and that the anti-imperialism of
the Workers (Communist) Party is
not the "anti-imperialism" of the
socialist party, of the democratic
party and of the numerous pacifists
The workers recognize in the fight
of the Communists against Amer
lean and world imperialism, mob
ilization of the workers for mill
tant action to prevent, if possible,
another world slaughter.
Informal" War.
In the struggle against the butch
cry of Nicaraguan workers and pea
SAINTS by "brave" American marines
and aviators, the socialist party
made protest only against the fact
that Coolidge had failed formally
to declare war on Nicaragua. In
the murder of the Chinese workers
and peasants by Courageous" Am
erican marines, in conjunction with
British and Japanese marines, the
British Labor Party and its "emi-
nent" leaders, Ramsay Macdonald
ad J. II. Thomas, proposed not only
that British Interests" should be
protected, but if protection were to
be given at all, then a large army
should be sent.
In the fight that has been going
on in the United Mine Workers, the
socialists have given full support
for relief to John L. Lewis. The
money they collected for relief went
to Lewis to pay the salaries of him
self and his hundreds of organizers
and other officials-and all their
expenses.
Lewis, in a letter to a republican
committeeman, declared that he
would be satisfied with the nomin-
alton of Hoover. Who nominated
Hoover? 1t was none other than
Andrew Mellon, the open shop scab
coal operator of the Pittsburgh Coal
Company, one of the first to repu-
date the agreement with the United
Mine Workers.

between the various parts of world
capitalist economy and a change in
the relationships between the princi-
pal classes of capitalist society.
This new historical period came in
as result of the development of the
principal dynamic laws of capitalist
society. The law of the concentra-
ton and Capitalization of capital led
to the formation of powerful monop-
olist combines (cartels, syndicates,
trusts), to new forms of gigantic
combinations Of enterprises linked
up by the banks. The merging of
industrial capital with bank capital
and the monopolistic character of
this form of capitalism transformed
the epoch of industrial capital into
the epoch of finance capital. Gree
competition" of the period of indus
trial capitalism, which came in to
take the place of feudal monopoly
and merchant capital monopoly, is in
its turn being transformed into
finance capital monopoly.
The growing employment of COM
pick machinery, of chemical proc
esses and electrical energy, the rise
in the organic composition of cap
ital and the consequent decline in
the rate of profit, which is only
partly offset by the high, cartel
prices policy still further stimulate
the quest for colonial super-profits
and the struggle for re-distribu-
ton of the globe. Standardized and
mass production creates the neces-
sity for seeking new foreign mar
kets. The rise in the price of raw
materials and fuel stimulates the
quest for the sources of these mate
rails. Finally, the system of high
protection creates an added slim
illus for the export Of capital, and
this is becoming the decisive and
specific form of economic contact
between the various parts of world
capitalist economy. The total effect
is that the monopoly of colonial mar
kets, of sources of raw materials
and of spheres of investment of cap
ital has extremely accentuated the
general unevenness of capitalist de-
velopment and has intensified the
conflict between the "great powers"
of finance capital over the redis-
tribution of the colonies and spheres
of influence.
The growth of the productive
forces of world industry thus leads
to the further Observation-Disclosures of
economic life and at the same time
to the struggle for a redistribution
of the globe,-which is already di-
vided up among the biggest finance
capitalist states, and to a succession

3. Because the more states in
which we get on the ticket, the
more significant will our campaign
be-not a mere propaganda cam
paign-but one in which many
workers will be able to vote for our

forced to vote for the other parties,

Tasks Ahead.
The election campaign will be a
real test for the Party. 1t will dem
onstrate whether we ourselves COM
prehend the Importance of parlia-
mentarism land let no comrade I'M
derestimate its value, particularly
in a backward country like the
United States, where the workers
as whole, have only the faintest
notion of the workings of 'their"
government, and have great faith in
capitalist democracy
1t will also be a test of the Party
in that it will show the extent to
which we have been able to direct
the attention of the workers to the
questions of government. The over
throw of the system and Of the cap
italist government is the aim of the
Communist Party. How many AM
erican workers have lost eli faith in
the American form of government
Many who are merely disgruntled
but do not understand the fight that
will be necessary-on all fronts-till
that government is no more.
We know that tens of thousands
of workers support the Party and
would follow and vote for the Par
ty, but they are not citizens. But
it is the duty of every Party mem
Der to bring to the polls every last
WOIheT ClIlLeH
Get Out Communist Vote.
And last of all, every Party mem
Der who is citizen must not fail
to vote. This is self-evident, and
yet many Party members, believing
that the elections are not worth
while (sectarians, they are, suffer
ing from Left Sickness), and in the
further belief that Communists can
not be elected, fail to register and
vote. This is not only a neglect of
Party duty, but serious hindrance
to our Party.
1t is not impossible for state and
county candidates of the Communist
Party to be elected this year! 1t is
totally within the range of posi-
bility-but only # every Party
member, every sympathizer, every
militant worker gets into the har-
ness and helps the Party in this
campaign. With the proper energy,
organization and enthusiasm, the
Workers (Communist) Party can
become real factor in the political
life Of the United States, holding
not in our eyes alone, but in the
eyes of the American workers and
farmers, the uncontested and in
contestible position of .aader of the
American workers and farmers.
