A Congress to Prepare for War.

THE special session of congress in session that
called under the mask of farm relief is finally out in
the open as prepare for war; congress This exposes the
actual reason why it was called together hurredy after
Hoover was installed in the White House on March a.
Chief Importance attaches to the proposed legislation
giving the president special powers to draft industry in time
of war This month already legislation introduced
providing for the conscrption of man-power.
Such legislation has already been put their statute
books by the great mperas powers Europe In support
of these war preparations the European socialists have played
special role sometimes oudoing the mtarists them
selves.
The drafting of industry in time of does not
of course that single privilege of private ownership will
be abolished Chief and foremost among these privileges is
wartime proftakng Drafting industry merely signifies
the intensive development and organization of all industry on
war footing Much has already been done in this direction
ntensyng and energzng the Wall Street sector of the

congress.

be considered as a form of the ac-
tive participation of the population
in the work of the construction of
socialism.
What is, in reality, cooperative? :?
1t is a free association of citizens
enjoying their civil rights, which has
for it's purpose to place the citizens
in direct touch with all that concerns
their material needs: food, clothing,
household objects, etc.
Cooperation, in its entirety, having
the same purpose, forms at the same
time a powerful organization, which,
with the aid of its stores growing
steadily in number, assures in the
Proletarian State the functioning of
retail commerce.
Thus, it is the whole populace
which is called to fill this important
social function.
Therefore, the number of coopera-
tors and the structure of the CO.
peratives constitute the best proof
of the vitality of this organization
which replaces the whole army of
middlemen in capitalist society. The
Soviet system, in that which con-
Germs production as well as consump-
ton, proves itself to be infinitely
superior to the capitalist system. On
one hand, the absence, of the middle
