gregate of Communist electors will
have increased between 1924 and
1923 by about $1,000, or by well
over 100 per cent.
Gain Seats.
The social democrats, who in the
old Riksdag had 105 seats, will have
to content themselves in the new
house with go or at the most SO
seats. The Communists, who had
hitherto four seats, will have seven,
or at most eight. This proves the
"justice" of the electoral system so
zealously defended by the social
democrats. 1t is a proportional sys-
tenn, but without general lists like
in Germany, so that the big parties
are greatly favored at the expense
of the small.
This also appears from the fact
that in the old Riksdag there was
a social democrat deputy to every
1000 votes, freeminded deputy to
every $4,000 and Communist
deputy to every 1900 or more.
Thus, if the seats had been justly
distributed, the Communists would
even in the old Riksdag have occu-
pied no fewer than IL, and the So
cial democrats 81, instead of los
seats.
The electioneering campaign,
which began in the spring, showed
an extraordinary accentuatiorf of
class differences in what was hither-
to often termed "idyllic" Sweden,
with an especially virulent increase
of the policy of calumny against the
Communist Party and the Soviet
Union. In this respect the social
democrats We'd with the extreme
right, and it is hard to say which
of the two deserves the palm. The
petty-bourgeois government of the
freeminded party took part in the
election struggle by arresting, with
the help of a White Russian "agent
provocateur", one of the employees
of the Soviet-Russian telegraph
agency "Tass," on the charge of

social democrats succeeded in gain
ing los seats and in overthrowing
the government of the right. They
had promised to reduce military ex-
penditure by 80 per cent and to in
troduce general unemployment in
surance. 1t was to these promises
that they mainly owed their success.
For the third time in the history of
Sweden they undertook the govern
ment of the country, but although
they were in power for almost two
years they did nothing towards the
fulfillment of the promises they had
made. Though in 1924 they had
maintained that they would spend at
most 50 million crowns for national
defence, purposes, their military
budget figured at 1873 millions, added
to which their most influential leader
helped the right in 1927 to gain a
further los millions for the increase
of the fleet. To what degree they
allowed themselves to be influenced
by the bourgeois parties appears
from the fact that they did not even
venture to suggest to the Riksdag
the realization of the unemployment
insurance project, although they had
already drawn up the relative bill.
Thus Sweden is one of the few coun-
tries paying no unemployment bene-
fit at all, although there has been
chronic state of unemployment
since 1920 with an army of unem-
ployed of about 10000.
In 1924, 1,765,OOO out of 100000

more than the half) took part in
the elections. Of these, $4,000 were
social democrats and $4,000 Commu-
nists. At this years election there
was participation of 100000 vot-
ers, about 100000 Of whom voted for
the social democrats and 10000 for
the Communists. The results from
Stockholm may be expected to in
crease these totals by some 100000

A former president of the United States,
Woodrow Wilson, also democrat and agent

the democrats interpret the Monroe doctrine
by using armed mercenarieS to overthrow
duly constituted governments and place in
their stead puppet governments that would
supinely serve the interests of Wall Street.

banditry inaugurated by Wilson to include
Nicaragua and other nations.
Smith approves the same sort of fright
victims of imperialist vandalism by calling
campaigns of wholesale murder examples of
"the brotherhood of man." Just as Tor
quomeda, the dungeon builder of the Roman
Catholic inquisition in Spain solemnly de-
clared that he burned people at the stake be-
cause he loved them and only desired to save
their souls, so Smith, who embraces the same
superstition, uses the arguments of the in

difference is tht Torquomeda acted as agent
of the feudal barons, while Smith speaks in
behalf of modern Imperialism.
There is but one demand, and one only,
that can be made to ensure the confidence
of Latin Americans and that is the uncondi-
tional evacuation of those countries. With

pies of those countries to conduct their own
affairs.
But none of the capitalist parties, demo-
cratic, republican or socialist" will ever do
such thing because that would be equiva-
lent to abandoning their imperialist designs.
Only the Workers (Communst) Party
fights effectively against imperialism. We
wage a fight in this country against the i'm
perialist government by endeavoring to mob
ilize the masses for revolutionary struggle
against the Wall Street government at Wash

them to rise as one power against the muir

improved distribution methods.
Merchants today are putting more brains-in
their work. They get better expert advice, they
understand markets better, they train their

The best way to make the people of Dicken-
son realize the fine quality of the service they
get from their stores is by consistent advertis-
ing of those stores. AS they read the news

Let wedding bells, ring, then in tune with

Pay Dirt

town does not need a gold rush or an coil

light overnight by the discovery within their
portals of some natural resource Turing men in
the quest for wealth; they have come from all
corners Of the world to places that seemed to
offer the opportunity of building fortunes.
But a town may have other assets than oil
wells or sold mines. If the information is broad
cast that in a town can be found good wages,
prosperity good business and industrial advan-
tages, the town will grow steadily more pros
oercus despite the fact that it lacks the lure
of gold.
Thus each town has its own gold mine, its
own oil gusher, community prosperity always
produces ''pay dirt" The world will come to a
Gown that has what the world wants, be that
gold, OIL or merely good living conditions.
Community advertising will attract prosper

many virtues, but no one will know of them.
