capital therefore interfered with prosperity.
These arguments were advanced in the days be-
fore mass production had flooded the world with
volume of economic surplus undreamed of in an
earlier epoch. So great is this volume of surplus
that flood, fire and earthquake can have but little
effect upon it. War is the only force which can
appreciaby reduce the volume of modern economic
surplus. War is therefore the great modern pros
perity maker.
During the World War the total volume Of
wealth consumed was more than ESQ billions dol.
lars. For years before this wholesale destruction
OF wealth swept across the capitalist world the
British Isles were wallowing in a slough of chron
ic hard times The war raised the Islands to
level of undreamed of prosperity. With the enc
of the war and the liquidation of 192O-21 chronic
hard times returned and they have gripped the
British Isles for decade.
Is there relief in sight? Yes. In two direc
tons. The first is another capitalist war that
will burn up accumulated surplus and call bacl
Britain's 100000 dole receiving unemployed tt
their jobs. The second is the establishment il
the British Isles of cooperative understandable
commonwealth under which it will not be neces
sary to slaughter or burn in order to convert raw
materials into the things that the human race re
quires in order to go on living.
War does pay exploiters under system of ex
ploitation. But it does not and cannot pay tn
masses who make the factory fodder and cannon
fodder of business class industrial. and militar,
enterprise.

of fact, however, war has many advocates and de-
tenders.
ID War pays the contractors and profiteers,
nunition makers, uniform makers, brokers and
bankers who supply directly or Indirectly the COM
modities with which wars are carried on. War
profits are usaully high profits because in war
time the need for commodities is very great and
buyers will always pay we'll for what they must
have in hurry.

This fourth point deserves some additional COM

theory that caamities make prosperity. An

man is above noticing the price of his sandwich A
full-sized verbal battle was launched in the House
of Representatives recently when Representative
Frank Murphy of Ohio expressed annoyance over
the cost of club sandwiches in the House restaur-
ant. Seventy cents was just too much for little
bread and chicken and trimmings, Mr.. Murphy
contended, especially when a $4,000 appropriation
was then being asked for the deficit of the res
taurant.
Armed with two club sandwiches and numerous
menus from Washington dining places, Represen-
tatlve Charles L. Underhill of Massachusetts went

well known restaurant, Mr.. Underhill acclaimed:
Look at the size of this piece of chicken and COM

Commissar's answer to this men
acing question.
But they might have saved their
kopecks. They could have guessed
in advance that the answer was
an emphatic affirmative. Wars,
M. Voroshilov believes, are in the
offing-between the capitalist ma
tions themselves and by all of
them against the Soviet nation.
The seizure of the Chinese-East-
ern Railway in Manchuria last
autumn was, in his opinion, ga
test of Soviet defense capacity y
The raids by Basmatchi bands or
ganized on the territory of At
ghanistan was another such "test,
presumably by the British govern
ment. In both cases, it will be
recalled, the Red Army emerged
with honor to itself and heavy
casualties to the enemy.
'The fact that we have thor.
oughly punished bandits of al
kinds" the War Commissar warns
"does not mean that they will not
try again in the future"
He draws sharply the irrecon
ciliable opposition between the so
.cialist economy in the Sovist Uni
on and the capitalist world sur
rounding it. The presence of {
strong and prospecting Sovie
country he regards as a constan
stimulus to the bourgeois world
which is fearful of uprisings O.
workers and peasants.
Nevertheless M. Voroshilov
seems to consider it possible t.
postpone the inevitable attack OF
the Soviet Union. Lenin had ex
pected an interval of only 8 or
years after the end of the inter
ventions before another attemp
would be made to crush the Sow
ct experiment. That interval ha
already stretched more than min
years. This was due to fear O
foreign governments of revolution
airy repercussions in their owl
countries, as well as GROWN,

HOOVER FEARS HE

Washington-FP-So bad is the

heavy a blow has the Hoover ma
Jority in the House dealt industry
through its bloated tariff bill
which has brought reprisals from
abroad, that the Hoover admins
tratiOn now fears that it will lose
the House, as well as the Senate
IN the November elections. EN-
ployment is in a desperate plight.
Canada, threatened by the Grundv
tariff, has struck back at Ameri-
can steel mills. Other countries
are reducing their American pur-
chases. American foreign trade
shrank $290,0OO,OOO in the first
three months of this year. The
only country whose trade with the
United States increased was the
Soviet Union. All the rest reduc-
ed their contribution to employ
ment in American factories and
mills.
"The employment situation ex.

WI ASHIN TON, D. c.
wv Senator Lynn J. Frazier, OF
North Dakota, was explaining to
me why agriculture simply has to
have government backing, in or
der to put up a fight for a half
way decent existence, against citi-
fied business and urban industries,
with any prospect of getting at
least as good as a draw.
1t may surprise some folk to learn
that Senator Frazier is the only 1OO
per cent dirt farmer in the upper
house of congress.
Time was when genuine, horny
handed yoemen were quite numer-
Gus on Capitol hill. In fact, their
group, next after the lawyers, who
always have predominated, once was

cline of rural influence in govern
ment, who would have imagined that
the honest-So-goodness farmers dele
cation in the senate had dwindled to
one lone solon.
The farmers have more senate
spokesman than that, to be sure.
However, with the exception OF
Senator Frazier, their spokesman are
not undiluted farmers themselves.

Nye, is as agriculturally-mind as
anyone could ask, but, by calling

Senator Norris of Nebraska Though
1t is true enough that he grew UP

also runs a farm, but it is not his
sole preoccupation in life.
several senators (Keyes Of New

DEMAND VETO
OF GRUNDY TARIFF

More than a thousand economists
joined in a plea to Hoover to veto
the Grundy tariff, if Congress dar-
ed pass it. They pointed to the
certainty of deepening the bust
ness slump if this billion-dollar
burden is heaped on the existing
load which the consumers must
carry. They pointed to the need
for better trade relations with all
countries, in order that American
export trade may improve. But
the tariff lobbyists laughed, and
assured everyone that Hoover
would sign any tariff bill that came
to him. They said that if he did
not, the fairfield manufacturers
would defeat him in 1882.
Hoover, worried sick by the re-
lection of his injunction judge
Parker, for the Supreme Court
was finally persuaded to abandon
his plan of denouncing the Senat,
and organized labor and the Negro
organizations for their showing-ul
of Parker. He issued an announce
ment that prosperity was coming
back-and next day Canada's gov
eminent began the tariff war, anC
