The Presidents S I err,

Exactly one-haf Of the term for which Presi-
dent Hoover was elected has been completed. Only
little more than a year from now his party will
decide whether to renominate him or to select some
body else to carry the Republican banner Between
now and June Of 1892 both parties will concentrate
their attention not upon the administration of the
Government of the United States but upon how best
to hold to seize the reins of Government for them
selves.
There is something radically wrong with sys-
tenn which gives the President whether he be Dem
ocrat or Republican, barely time to get settled i'll his
job before tthe country is thrown into turmoil over
the question of his successor Everybody with good
sense recognizes that that is true, but the problem is
how to change it.
One proposal which has been seriously put forth
many times, and which might work better than the
present system is to amend the Constitution so as to
make the Presidents term seven years. with 40 re-
election. That would relieve the President of all ne
cessy for playing politics" in office with an eye to
denomination, and it would give him time to master
the JOB and prove his constructive ability.
Probably it will be q long time before that plan
can be put into effect, if at all Another suggested
system is to shorten the time between the election
OF the President and his assumption to office we'll
has good sense in it, too After President and
Congress have been elected in November the old
ones continue to function until the Fourth Of the next
March. Once the people have decided upon change,
Why not make the change effective at once?
The Congress whose sessions ended March 4th
IS not the Congress that was elected last November
Those Senators and Representatives will not meet I'M
less called i'll special session, until next December
more than year after their election Then, after
single session in Congress- the members of the lower
house will have to go out and seek reelection
In 1887, when the system was set up in the Con-
stituon, it took weeks months to travel be-
tween the outlying states and the seat of govern
ment, and it was necessary to give newyelected Of
flcals plenty Of time after election before taking up
their duties But there is such excuse now Two or
three weeks would be plenty Of time after election
day in which to count all the votes and have them
certified, and inaugurate the President and the
June until November takes up very much more time
than is needed in these days Of rapid communications
and universal ability to read to educate the voters
to the merits OF the different issues and candidates.

Dissertations Upon Newspaper
Criticism In General

Every once in a while some reader comes into
the editorial office Of the Nogaee international and
in the course of general discussion of various mat
tiers Of public interest," queries:
why don't The International jump on some
pet aversion Of the speaker who either thinks that
the law is not being enforced that parts Of it are
too tight or that some official is not doing his duty
or that relief is needed from something or other.
Well, boys and girls, if The international jump
ed on everything that open to criticism i'll Santa
Cruz County and the nation at large it wouldn't have
much room for anything else, and when it got
through the process there would be other callers ask
ing why it didn't tackle something else.
So while we are not going to "take the lid, off
anything just at this time we will call your attention
to the fact that whenever politician is criticised in
the press he raises the banner OF persecution and
there are always sinnplended people to believe that
the editor is nursing pet spite against the noble
servant Of the public veal.
When a political figure has defence against
eIsDaDeT criticism he brushes it aside with the de
claTation that the press is bounding him, and there
are always gulible brethren ready TO disbeeve ev-
erything IN print and swear to the persecution al
legation.
When a newspaper in Arizona makes charge
against public official or criticses conditions in
its territory it has to have the goods else the in
Jured party could take it into court libel charges,
and prosecute the writer. When newspaper makes
charge it is made in cold hard type where the
world can read the facts and the editor cannot hide
behind 'T-didn't-say-it defence
Now, the editor Of this newspaper does not be-
lieye that every newspaper is ideal, or that there
are not some editors who take care Of themselves or
their parties-innterest but it does assert that in
nearly every case Of criticism Of public officials or
conditions the newspaper is acting imparay at its
cost in the interest OF what it conceves to be the
lest welfare Of the public.
The readers of newspaper can Judge the truth
Of its charges by its Life, which cannot lie If there is
newspaper in Santa Cruz County which has been
published honestly and aboye-board, taking straight
out, open positions on public issues standing for law
can safely bet your money that when such news
paper makes criticism of public affairs that it is
right and that the politicians who issue denias based
on counter-charges, are wrong.
We just pass this thought along at this time for
the edfcation Of readers who may prefer edfication

/. PREPARATIONS FOR ARMED INTERVENTION AGAIN

The danger of armed inJerven-
ton against the USSR. has become
a direct danger for the whole of
the world prOleSariat. The rela-
tons between the capitalist and
socialist systems have entered a
new historical phase. The probe
tariat of the U.S.SR. in the period
of extreme acuteness OF the post
war crisis of capitalism, relying on
the peasants in the collective farms
and the poor peasantsin alliance
with the middle peasants, with the
assistance of the revolutionary pro-
letariat of the capitalist world, is
already completing the foundations
of Socialism on one sixth of the
globe. The feminist policy of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and Of the Central Commit
tee, and the enthusiasm of the
working class and of the broad
masses of toiling peasants in the
work of building up Socialism
have finally destroyed all the hopes
OF the capitalist world and the
forecasts" OF the Trotskyists re-
garding the degeneration of the
Soviet economy into capitalism.
In these conditions, international
imperialism is again discussing the
question Of solving the historical
conflict between capitalism and So
ciahsm by means of war. The sue
cesses OF the five-year plan OF So
cialist construction in town and
country, which the masses of the
workers contrast with the growing
crisis and disintegration of capital
isna, have in themselves become a
ssaHger to capitalism. The i'm
provement In the standard of nv-
Ing OF the workers In the USSR

leled suffering, mass unemploy-
nent, want and fascist tyranny

portions in capitalist countries ew-

of capitalism on the other hand,
,strihngiy illustrate the difference
between the two world systems -
Socialism and capitalism. The eff
fort Of capitalism to solve the crisis
at the expense of the proletariat
and the working peasants of all
countries is leading to a general
capitalist offensive on all fronts
against the toiling masses of the
capitalist countries and siInultane-
Ously and inseparably linked up
with it, to the acceleration of war
preparations against the USSR.
The growing world economic
crisis and the ruthless struggle
among the imperiaist powers for
markets intensity all imperialist
antagonisms and cause them to be-
come exceptionally acute. The
danger of armed conflicts between
the imperialist powers is growing.
But the growing antagonism of in
terests between the imperialists
does not diminish, but on the con-
trary, increase the danger of war
of intervention in the USSR.
In the conflict between these two
world systems-capitahsm and So
cialism, which are diametrically op-
posed in principle-the Second and
Amsterdam Internationals are de-
finitely on the side of capitalism
in the work Of preparing for in
tervention.
The French bourgeoisie - the
chief organizer Of the anti-Soviet
war-have already created num-
Der OF political and military ALLAN
ces for the purpose of encircling the
USSR poland, Rumania, Finland,
the states OF the Little Entente).
The same aim Of encircling the
USSR is pursued in the Pan
Europe scheme and also in the
plans for a coalition Of the So
called agrarian countries of South
Eastern Europe, etc. (Rumania,
Hungary, Jugo- Slavia, Bulgaria,

! etc.. The revision and supplement-
ing of the statutes and powers of
the League of Nations also has the
purpose of preparing the ground for
openly organizing a crusade against
the USSR.
The feverish increase of anna
ments, the renewal and extension
of military alliances, and the gre
pa-ation of joint plans for mobil-
ization by the Trench General
Staff is putting the countries on
the Western border of the USSR
in a state Of military preparedness.
During the last five years a new
war industry has been created in
these countries under the hege-
mony of the French and British
war industry; while countries of
the second line" (Czecho- Slovakia,
Sweden have been converted into
regular arsenal for the anti
Soviet war.
Strategic railroad lines are fever
ishly being laid down Poland, Ru-
mania, Jugo-Slavia), and naval
harbors, new lines of fortification,
military bridges are being construc-
ted, all in accordance with the plan
Of the attack on the USSR. ST.
simultaneously with the feverish
growth in the numerical strength
and equipment of the standing
armies an extensive system of
military training of the general
population is being developed thru
the medium of fascist sport and
similar organizations. The French
General Staff, and its touring gen
erals, are drawing up plans for the
united anti-Soviet operations of the
armies Of the states bordering on
the USSR. under a single COM
mand. The remnants of the coun-
ter revolutionary white guard
armies Of Kolchak, Denikin and
Wrangel, are continually financed
by, French imperialism and are
