to Imperialism, that they really are not so
badly off, because "the most precious rewards
of life do not lie on the side of material gain
He hastens to prove that the poor rich fellows
who stayed at home and made their millions as
war profiteers are just as worthy people, for
although chose who went into the armed
service offered their lives nevertheless:
{" those who contributed to the wartime
charities to the purchase of liberty bonds and to
the payment of the taxes contributed their
property" Cd
And what a case is made for the Millionaire
profiteers Did not their larger payments of
income tax made them quite as noble as the
poor devil who though dying on the battle field,
nevertheless paid no taxes? Read this:
Those who possessed very large incomes paid
into the National Treasury about 80 per cent of it,
which, with their state and local taxes, came very
close to a taking by the government of their
entire property for during the 1t was, in
fact practical CONSUMPTION for an indefinite time
of the property of those of very large incomes.
While of people were in the service,
others producing food turning out munitions,
looking after the affairs of government, and carry
ing on the necessary activities of commerce and
transportation.
His idealization of the private enterprise"
of capitalism, becomes almost frenzied in his
demands for the speeding up of trustified
industry, the determination of all protective
measures for the workers and of the workers
who resist the speed-up, which he refers to
under the terms "slackness and the Stacker"
The foundation of prosperity" he says
"All rests on the determination of waste and
the waster and the elimination of slackness and
the Stacker. 1t the coordination of national
effort through adequately trained citizenship,

Coolidge is expounding to the best of his
capacity, the imperialist program of today for
the United States.
Cooidge's speech was, of course, a yelled in
terpretation but true one of the Kellogg
pact as war manoeuvre of the United States
Imperialism. For:
it detracts nothing from the right and
obligation of ourselves the other high contract
ing parties to maintain adequate national de-
Tense against any attack "
And the snivelling little Wall Street clerk
made his speech between orders to U. S.
marines for conducting the war in Nicaragua,
and other marines for warlike acts against the
Chinese people.
Coolidge demonstrated what needed no more
proving, that the United States is embarking
now for the biggest and bloodiest war in his
tory, as we'll as the harshest enslavement of
the working class at home.
Finally, the Kellogg pact must be understood
fundamentally as a war plan against the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics, the only great
power which is not permitted to enter into dis
cussion of its terms.
The working class must prepare to fight
against imperialist war and to defend the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, the
Socialist Fatherland of the workers of all
countries.

Happily" Mr.. Coolidge Prepares
for War.

"Our loss of life, happily, compare
lively small. but the cost in direct outlay to the
national treasury ran between 100000, 900 and
s4O,OOOOOO,OOO"
This is Calvin Coolidge-the very essence of
the little president of the big Imperialism.
Coolidge spoke to the American Legion and
the character of his audience seems to have in
spired him to put more crudely and therefore
more transparenty the real meaning of the
Kellogg pact to be signed at Paris on the 9th
of this month.
But not that he did so Intentionally
Coolidge spoke about the World War in the
boastful spirit of the little merchant suddenly
become a Croesus The tens of thousands of
lives of American conscripts that were sacri-
feed he can ''happily" dismiss, but the terribly
large sum of money that it cost-ah this is
what hurts his soul! Still, he says, the war
''afforded us place in the world which we did
not have before"
Referring to what he calls a new DISPOSE
tion" toward "the rule of law" he says:
"This has brought about among the nations of
the world new sympathy for each other and
new forebearance toward each other which did not
before exist. 1t has eliminated a great deal of
sefshness and produced desire for mutual
hepfulness, at the cost of considerable sacri-
flee"
Behind these oily phrases is all of the SNUG
feeling of national bourgeoisie which before
the war was in the class of debtor nations, but
which, after the war has made it the creditor
of the world, feels that "a great deal of sell
fishness" has been eliminated.
And what is this about, but the Dawes
pan?:
in their foreign relations all over the world
very distinct manifestation cen be seen in the
attitude of the great power of wholesome restraint
and an effort to conclude by patient negotiation
what but short time ago would have been de-
termined with an iron hand"
What is he talking about there but the
peaceful enslavement Of other nations to the
finance-capital of the United States? What
does he mean by patient negotiation if this
does not include such settlements as the Dawes
Plan for enslavement of Central Europe?
Coolidge sees a general submission of the
nations of the world to American capital, and
a sort of imperial Roman citizenship for the
American capitalist abroad
"a citizen of the United States holds posi-
ton higher than that which was ever held in any
time past. The opportunities which enjoyed
by our countrymen far superior to those which
ever to any other people.
He sees Transformation in the internal
political and economic conditions of the United
States which is fulfillment Of the dreams of
Imperialism. Class divisions appear in the
vocabulary of Coolidge as the division between
the man who might be called upon by the gov
eminent in time of need for his life,' and such
as might be called upon for "his property"
And about this Coolidge philosophers He
tries to assure those who give only their lives

VISITORS TO NEW ENGLAND

According to an estimate of the American Automobile Association more than 1000, GOO motorists will visit. New England this summer. pending fully Sl50,o0o,0o0 within this tier ot states.
 This sum Is regarded as fair compensation for the loss of rela- tive manufacturing supremacy. A century ago New England was the great manufacturing section Of the United States. In recent years other sections have crept up in the manu~ featuring scale and New England relatively Is as important as il once Nas.
 The money derived from tourists therefore, Is q silver lining to the cloud. But II need not be overlooked that the money from tourists does not find its way to the same sections of New England that have limped ln- dustrially. Lowell, Fall River, Law renee and similar stricken textile centers will see little of if. The tourist money will go where there never was much manufacturing rural Maine, New Hampshire, Yer mort.
 Still, for New England to annex S15O, 900, ,000 tourist money in one year-provided the estimates are not too high---is something, no matter what sections get the bulk of the money.
 What the automobile association could have added is that the visitors will get their moneys worth. No oth- CT part of the country is richer in scenic and historic values than New England. It stands supreme as va cation spot of the first magnitude,

THE CASE OF MRS. KNAPP

Those who paid more than cursory attention to the evidence during the trial of Mrs. Florence F. s. Knapp. former secretary of state of New York, were not greatly surprised at the tury's verdict.
 II may be hard 10 explain why woman attaining such a high post ton in the service Of the Empire State should have made so many mistakes that the jury construed as fitting the charge Of grand larceny.

FINDING THE ENGINEER

So the water board is having trouble In finding the right man for the post of city water engineer made vacant by the recent turn of events. Chairman Hatch just tells us that various aspirants have come here to sec about the job but that none Of them have made enough of an inn pression upon the water board. to warrant their employme In other words they didn't sell themselves and their abilities. There of course is the possibility that some of these had ability, maybe enough ability to fit Into the picture; but that isn't enough. The water board has to be shown all this in some tangible manner and the fellow who can radiate confidence in his abilities usually stands the best chance of be- ing hired.
 The job of hiring the right en- sineer for the water board itself needs ability. If perchance the board should employ an incompetent en- gineer, one who merely sold his per sonality during the preliminary in terviews, then the board would get as much public censure as the en' gineer.
 The city's water works extension plan under way requires unusua ability on the part of the engineer il charge. No doubt the water boart will not make the mistake of at tempting to obtain the highest typ of supervising engineer at the low est possible salary. There can be n doubt that an able engineer can b secured if the salary is made sufii ciently attractive. On the other hand to obtain a capable engineer with out payment of an eXtrava gan salary Is quite a trick. This is th problem confronting the Tate
 board.

FOR INSTANCE, THERE WAS
 FLORIDA"

Scores Of financial writers have been trying to explain the stock market boom, but the best eXplana- tion we SO far have read is one that the stock boom is a replica Of the Florida land boom and will have the same finish. Several years ago, when VIC ventured the opinion that the Florida land boom ultimately would collapse a dealer in the Florida product told us We were crazy. Today anybody venturing the opinion that the stock boom also will collapse some day is thought mentally irresponsible. So We won't say so definitely, preferring 10 wait until it happens.
