That the mantle of leadership of
this struggle against the American
bosses should fall upon the shout
ders of Great Britain is not a bit
surprising. Aside from the fact
that Rhodesian copper under Brit
ish control must find larger mar
kets, it is important to note that
copper is a war industry. The war
over copper constitutes an impor-
tant link in the chain of Anglo
American economic conflicts that
are rapidly leading to an impe-
rialist war.

Export of Capital and Tariff Retaliation

Vandenberg said that both Henry
Ford and General Motors have
branch plants in Trieste, and the
increase in Italian tariff might
EARLY be part of campaign to force
American manufacturers now en-
gagged in expatriating capital to ex-
tend their operations there" There
is a grain of truth in this statement
which clearly shows the contradic.
ton between the export of capital
and the export Of commodities. In
considering the tariff question, this
important feature of Imperialism
should not be left out of account.

In connection with the tariff
raise in Italy on manufactured i'm
ports, chiefly automobiles, from
America, Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan, the representative of the
automobile bosses in the American
Senate, said Wednesday that while
there might be an elements of re-
TAXATION in the Italian decree, never
theless the opportunity to force
American manufacturers to estab-
lish branch plants abroad in line
with their policy of the last two
years seems to be very alluring."

Chrysler Cuts 10 Per Cent

Walter P. Chrysler, chairman Of
the board of the huge Chrysler Cor
poration, in one of the most sick
eningly hypocritical announcements
ever made by trust head land that
is saying a good deaD, declared a
wage cut of 10 per cent for all
salaried employees in the company.
He stated as follows:
"The 10 per cent reduction of all
ries, which Chrysler Corpora
lion has made, is consistent V 4 a
retrenchment policy which the cur
rent depression in business. de-
mands. Labor has already contrib
uted substantially through reduced
working hours, and it was felt to
be only fair that salaried employees
should also bear some of the bur-
den. The reduction applies to all
salaried employees uniformly, from
Mr.. Chrysler down. (Chrysler, of
course, gets his income through
profits.) 1t is a tribute to the
morale and loyalty of the organi-
7ation that the ACCESSIBILITY of this
move has been generally recognized
and cheerfully accepted.
1.-THE Chrysler organization is de.
termined to operate its business or
a profitable basis under whatever
conditions may exist, and the readi'
ness to make all necessary sacri.
fees as indicated by this move is {
factor of strength which is bounC
to be reflected in the ultimate sue
cess of the company and its con
tinued progress in the automobile

The strikers held their ground for

good order to a meeting place just
outside of the city limits.

and will probably charge him with

KANSAS CITY, July 3.-The
price of wheat to the farmers has
dropped in the last three weeks
from SO cents to SO cents. Farmers
are using it at this price to feed
hogs instead of corn. The Kansas
governor is pleading with the bank
ers to help the farmers to store their
wheat by additional loans, but since
the farmers have old loans to pay
for wheat still in storage from last
year, the prospects are gloomy that
II bankers will loan any more
and if they do it will only put them
that much more at the mercy of
finance capital controlling the local
bankers.
Kansas City flour mills, thinking
to take advantage of the cheap
wheat, are running full blast--but
whether they are going to sell as
much as they think, that is another
question. Growing unemployment
will surely lessen the demand.

MACDONALD FOR
SIMON REPORT
Further Enbarrasses
Indian Liberals"

LONDON, England, July 3.--A
statement issued by the British
equivalent of the "'White House
spokesman" declared yesterday: "To
say that the Indian Statuary Com
mission Report (the Simon commits
sion report) is a dead letter is
ridiculous. 1t is a document of
enormous authority and intrinsic
value, by far the most constructive
contribution to the solution of the
problem of the political situation in
india that we have"
IN these words, coupled with the
announcement that the Simon re-
port would come before the October
round table conference" in Lon
don, does the British "labor party
government take its stand even
more openly or the basis of i'm
nerialism and exploitation and sub
jugation of Indian workers and
peasants. It blasts conclusively the
hopes of Indian liberals" that the
Simon report, for even more cen
tralixed and arbitrary control of
India, would be repudiated by Prime
Minister Macdonald.
