Preparing For War

Jaw gwanl There can't be any war on this
Soviet cause England hates America, and
France hates England, and Germany hates
France, and Poland hates Germany and Ger
many hates EN- all; while Italy and the Pope
can't agreed"
Such are the arguments one can hear from
sngle-track minded folks who simply don't know
what they're talking about Even the stones
ought to realize that just such campaign
against the Soviets we have now is the plain
preliminary to active war and intervention. And
war there is certain to be- 1t is getting to be
an accepted idea Nor are visible signs of pre-
paration hard to find.
For example, the American steel industry now
uses Soviet Manganese because it's the best there
is in the world (not because it's cheaper, or is
dumped" in fact it costs higher price, but
is worth it,
Yet on the Cajuna Iron Range of Minnesota,
where there is the biggest deposit of mangan-
ese ore in the United States Though low
grade ore), new mines are being dug although
only three out of 81 mines are working The
81 not being worked are now being put into
shape for working
Why is this if American imperialism aims to
continue trade with the Sovets? If it does not
intend to be cut of by war from getting Soviet
manganese?
More TheNnneapols Star on June related
how Major Hopley of the War Department was
in Minnesota, "has been successful in producing
ferro-manganese from low grade ore in Mime
sofa, and experimenters are now working t
facilitate this process"
few days earlier, Minnesota papers told he
the War Department was spending $4,000
in the state, to make the inland waterway
navigable "for the transport Of munitions" And
to make clear that the A. F. OF L. Is part OF the
imperialist war machine, the report added:
Organized industry and organized labor are
being given their legitimate and all-important
place in the scheme Of national defense. They
are being prepared for the war load that Will
be thrown upon them In such an event"
So the A. F. Of L. is being prepared foT
war. And kindly note that the A. F. OF l.. pap
ers are filled with anti-Soviet propaganda. Then
| figure out what all this means.

have been compelled to call special interna-
tional conferences with view to finding ways
and means of meeting the danger which would
have resulted from crisis in Russia.
Permit me to ask whether the fact that one
sixth of the globe or about one-half of the
area of Europe is immune from the crisis the
fact that there is one country in the world
whose imports of finished goods rises from
year to year, whose orders keep the factories
of other countries busy and thus reduce un-
employment and charter foreign vessels TO
transport these goods, the fact that this coun-
try itself has no unemployment problem and
that it's citizens are not compelled to seek en-
poyment in thousands in other countries as
was the case under Tsarism permit me to ask
whether all these circumstances aggravate or
ameliorate the world economic crisis.
Is the world economic crisis aggravated or
ameliorated by the fact that the Soviet Union
purchases from so to rs per cent of the total
export of certain branches of the engineering
industry in Germany, Austria, Great Britain
and Poland? There can be no doubt that the
orders placed by the Soviet Union abroad,
orders which increase from year to year, rep
resent a factor which makes for the amehora-
ton of the crisis. In view of the fact that
SO per cent of the total tractor export OF the
United States in 1890 was purchased by the
Soviet Union and that in the same year the
Soviet Union purchased IL per cent OF the
total export of the textile machinery from
Great Britain % per cent of the total export
of agricultural machinery from Germany 21
per cent of the total German export of lathes
and II per cent of the German export of all
other classes of machinery, and that in the
first quarter of 1880 the Soviet Union pur-
chased 81 5 per cent of the total Polish eX-

Camps

comrade who says he is employed only part
time and has very little money, yet longs to
spend a week in some camp, writes us to find
out why the camps that advertise in the
Daily Worker are so high in their prices"
Well are they high? We know that they're
too high priced for us poor devils on the Daily
Worker, but are they high compared to other
camps? We had our steno look that up. And
she reports:
The other camps charge just twice what the
camps do that are known as our camps, yet
these more expensive camps do not pay union
wages to their workers as "ourS" do, some Of
which have rate Of $3.50 week In fact
many capitalist camps make 1t a practice OF
swindling their workers out of their wages en-
tirely.
What's to be done to make it still cheaper.
we don't know We might get gay and remind
you that what you really need is full time work
at higher wages then that price wouldn't hurt
you Or remind you that until you make pro-
letarian revolution and nationalize the land, all
the customary load of private ownership of land
has to be borne by workers camps.
But that doesn't meet the immediate need
for masses of workers who wither away in the
hot cities because they cannot afford even a
couple of days in the country. We might be
wrong but it occurs to us that possibly there
should be different grades of camp facilities and
appropriate charges.
1t seems to us, from the little we know Of
1t, that the idea has been that anybody who
comes to camps expects to have private room,
with four-poster bed and hair mattress bath,
radio and ice-water and a swarm of servants
to be complained about to the management if
anything isn't just like the Hotel Pennsylvania.
Naturally that costs plenty
But as for us, who have slept in Wyoming
jungles and cooked our mulligan in an oil can
we would feel better if some camp would allow
us to flop out under a tree in our own blanket
and eat la carte or not at all and charge us
accordingly Indeed that's more like camping
and less like moving the Bronx Coop fifty
miles up the Hudson and calling it camp

The Crisis and Soviet Exports.

It will not be difficult for me to show you
+he sbsurdity of such a contention. All that
Is necessary is to point to the moderate share
taken by the Soviet Union in world trade, 1t
must also not be forgotten that not only those
markets which absorb Soviet exports are SUI
fering from the crisis, but also those markets
IN which the Soviet Union appears exclusive
w as a purchaser Figures taken from the
renorts of the economic organizations of the
League of Nations clearly illustrate my con-
tentions. For instance, the price of coffee
sunk from 1925 cents pound in September
1929 to 1913 pound in March, 1880. In the
same period the price Of tin fell from 2O4'9
hounds sterling per ton to 165 pounds sterling
per ton The price of rubber also fell from
1O.5 to rs. In the same period the price OF
rice fell by AZ per cent, the price OF olive oil
h., % s per cent, and the price of silk by 481
per cent
Economic crises occurred before the exist
ence of the Soviet Union, and that being the
case, | think we may say that the present
crisis would have occurred, perhaps even IN a
still more acute and extensive form, did the
Soviet Union not exist, but in its place existed
a Tsarist or bourgeois Russia, l. e., political
and economic organism similar to the other
countries of the world. Without doubt such
a country would also have fallen victim to the
crisis and the result would have been that the
crisis would have been still more severe than
# is at present. The Statesmen who are now
doing their best to ameliorate the results OF
the crisis in the other countries, would then

materials any more than any other exporting
country? How is it that the export of GER
tain countries is regarded as legitimate, whilst
the export of the Soviet Union is declared to
be an attack against the world economic sys-
TEN? What arguments can be advanced in
support of cutting down the export trade OF
the Soviet Union, especially as any such ac-
ton would only be in the interests of other
countries?
Before I go any further, | would like to
remind you that the export trade of the So
Wet Union is in most cases not as great as
the export trade of Czarist Russia before the
war.
In 1910 the grain export of Czarist Russia
totalled Is rer cent of the world export, whilst
in 1880 the Soviet share of world grain ex-
ports was only 20 per cent. The same applies
to the export of manganese ore Isl per cent
of world exports under Czarism, but only 30
per cent under the Soviet regime, to the eX-
port of flax (53 per cent compared with AZ
per cent? to butter Us million tons as COM
pared with 10 million tons), and so on. Why
one might ask was no attempt made to con-
denim the export trade of Czarist Russia? Had
there been no Czarist exports, prices would
have been at much higher level, and this
would have been in the interests of those
countries which competed with Czarlst
Russia.
AS far as the export trade is concerned the
Soviet Union is only just beginning to take
the place in world trade which it was COM
PEELED to relnquish as a consequence of the
world war, the military interventlons and the
blockade.
Why did the growth of the Canadian grain
export trade from 2,350,0O0 tons in 1913 to
100000 tons in 1928, or the increase of the
export of Argentine butter in the same per-
iod by $40 per cent, produce no protest?

Corrupted Horses

Somebody sent us clipping from one OF the
Youngstown papers forgetting, as usual, to say
which one). With all Of the police clubbing,
casing and shooting Of boys and girls who had
gathered for National Youth Day, what do you
suppose, the capitalist paper selects as source
of regret?
1t is that police horse of the mounted brutes
was banged in the face.
We like horses ourselves, but when 1t comes
to choosing between workers and horses, we
won't mourn the bruises of police horse.
Police corrupt even dogs and their horses are
trained to strike with fore feet, kick, bite and
trample "rnobs" For that kind Of horse we
can not have any more sympathy with than for
an armored car.

The National Guardsmen stand ready.
But the miners have taken firm hold OF the
strike. They realize that the National Miners

they conduct the strike

When the pay checks of the miners are ex-

ceived single cent in cash in their envelopes,
then it can be understood why this strike Is
literally strike against starvation. If one goes
