Few Americans, matter how we'll posted the history
of their country know that of the Kings of England

Some Plain Truths

tive will be driven to the
conclusion that a five-billion-
dollar prosperity loan would
have been the most effective
preventive Of extreme meas
ures.
But Garner recognizes the
principle; and the nation s
obligation - which is some
thing Mr.. Hoover, lowering
over the ticker tape and see
ing conspiracies in the fact
that there is no bull move
ment in the market on stocks
no longer paying a dividend,
cannot see.
That is one Of the reasons
the public is forced to the
conclusion that Mr.. Hoover
is unfit to grapple with the
crisis.

Then it will be too late to buy
a dollar for 80 cents. The op-
portunities will be gone.
When a horse balkS, the balk
is in his head, not in his legs.
He moves when he thinks he
will. And when an American
business man is depressed THE
SLUMP IS IN HIS HEAD.
There is nothing serious to pre-
vent him from making money
if he thinks he will.
when FEAR rules the will,
nothing can be done, but when
a man casts FEAR out Of his
mind, the world becomes his
oyster. To lose a bit of money
is nothing, but to lose hope, or
lose nerve and ambition, that
is what makes men criprles.
This silly depression has
gone on long enough. Get rid
of it. 1t is inside of you. RISE
AND WALK"
Is 1t Time?
That's Mr.. Casson's analysis
of what ailS us. I wonder if
it's true. I suppose it is, to a
certain extent. Fool fear plays
a large part in all frenzy. But
aren't there other factors in our
present dilemma which Mr.. Cas-
son is overlooking?
Was depression caused by the
market crash, with our result
of hySteria, or is it a symptom
of a natural and inevitable
change in the living and work
ing conditions of the human
race?
The human race never has
and never can stay put. With
each generation it grows, and
with each growth it changes,
adjusting itself to new condi-
tionS. Human stupidity being
what it is, these adjustments
are usually violent and depress-
ing, for we do not know how to
look ahead, and we never start
adjusting soon enough.
so THERE IS ALWAYS A
PAINFUL PAY OFF" FOR
OLD BLUNDERS BEFORE A
NEW ERA IS USHERED IN.
There was a pay-off when
men stopped living in caves
and began to live in tents.
There was a pay-off when they
left their tents and went to
live in cities; when they turned
those first crude cities into
states; when small states as
Sembled into large nations.
New VS.. Old
Each new way of living
meant giving up an old way of
living - with a tremendous
amount of blundering and COM
planning.
ISN'T THE PRESENT DE-
PRESTON JUST ANOTHER
PAY-OFF IN HUMAN HIS
TORY?
For many years we have
needed a new adjustment of
working hours, living condi-
tions. wages and relationships
between employers and en-
ployes. Even before the war
we had "outgrown our pants"
Then came the consequences
of that sorry mess. And now,
aren't we getting ready once
more for another step in hui
man progress?
Think it over. Maybe you
can't dig up much ready cash
out of this confusion. but you
can dig up a lot of interesting
ideas if you look for them.

The Reasons for
the Depression

But his candidacy aside,
the views of the second
most important officer Of
the nation are Of impor-
tance. With these views we
find ourself in hearty ac-
cord. He puts his finger on
one Of the reasons for the
depression when he says:
This country has erected
tariff barriers that are
practically excluding the
products of foreign nations.
This makes it economically
impossible for these nations
to buy from us the products
of our farms and our fac
tories, thereby aggravating
our industrial depression. "
No economist will chal-
lenge the conclusion. No i'm
porter or exporter who does
not know it. There are at
this hour at least two mil
lion people out of work in
America because of the loss
of our foreign trade.
That manufacturers know
it is evident in the fact that
the greatest among them, IN
search Of the lost markets,
are now building branch
factories in other countries
with American money these
branch factories employ, not
American, but foreign
labor; this foreign labor is
paid with American money
which foreign labor spends
with foreign merchants.

which it had a clear man.

vided for the opening Of
negotiations with other ma

IN HE most significant and
l. important political de-
velopment last week was the
statement of Speaker John n.
Garner setting forth, in
downright manner, his views
on outstanding problems be-
fore the people. He has
acted wisely in remaining
aloof from controversial
matters until the work Of
the House is over.
While true, as he says,
that his 80 years in Con-
gress have revealed his
general views on govern
ment, and true that he has
voted on at least some phase
of every pending problem,
his candidacy for the presi-
dency, pressed upon him,
makes his present action
one Of courage.
No man ever accused this
white-haired, blue
fighter Of cowardice.

Garner Hits
Straight

Like some Of the other
candidates, Garner takes his
stand foursquare for a pub
lie works program to put
the jobless back into the
purchasing class for the
benefit, not only Of their
wives and children, but of
the merchants and manu-
facturers and farmers. He
hits straight when he says:
Enough work must be
provided to keep the people
from starving, and we shall
be fortunate indeed if this
irreducible cost minimum
does not greatly exceed the
amount provided in the re-
lief measures which I spon-
sored."
Public work must be pro-
vided-or we shall face some
very unpleasant music next
winter. And the Garner
bill, which is more advanced
than any other pending, will
not, we are sure, fully meet
the requirements of the
crisis. The time may come,

ing, when the most conseIEa-

The Most Impressive
Feature

Feature
To many the most impress
sive feature of the Garner
statement is his unequivocal
position on prohibition. The
brevity of it illustrates how
few words are necessary
when confusion and conceal
ment is not the plan.
Thus:
" When the prohibition
amendment was proposed, I,
as a member of Congress,
voted against it. I have
never believed it sound or
workable and it should be
repealed"
So that is that; "short
horse soon curried."

CESS, and not the joke we
once thought it. Marrying for
"Love-AND-" may not be so
"idealistic." But it makes mar

man and less of an alternative
for a woman. And less of a lot

Honest to the
American People


More honest to the Ameri-
can people, by far, is the
statement Of Garner:
THE Government of the
United States owes it to its
citizens to collect from the
debtor nations to the extent
of their ability to pay and
there should be no film
flam accepted as to that
ability to pay"
There is not a nation that
owes us that is not able to
pay by slightly reducing its
budget estimates for war
purposes. If they are not
willing to make those re-
ductions, there is no reason
why we should take upon
our shoulders the debt bur
dens Of the world.
What an affront to COM
mon sense and justice that
this should be asked of us
when we have the greatest
deficit to meet Of any ma
ton; when our taxes have
been piled on until the back
of business is breaking;
when we have ten million
unemployed!
A snooty elevation of the
eyebrows cannot answer
that.

love - and convenience. Or
luxury. Or prestige.
Marriage is no longer a
graft" on one side and a
harity institution or an
autocracy on the other. 1t is
cooperative affair, a fifty
fifty partnership; and its key
note is RECIPROCITY!
Now that women are getting
into the limelight, sharing the
laurels and the responsibilities
and holding down highly paid
jobs, the average woman has a
great deal more to offer a man
than lust love" and coddling
and home cooking. And the
average man is gradually be-
ing sold on the quid-pro-quo
marriage.
Of course, there still are lots
of good. old-fashioned mar
riages. There always will be.
There always will be hosts of
men who want an old-fash-
ioned home, with a wife-mother-
SWeetheart-and cook in it. And
there always will be thousands
of women, to whom the one
and only desirable career on
earth is that of being some
mans RIB" and the mother of
his children. The old-fashioned
marriage always will be the
most popular, because God
made men and women that
way.

Garner's Stand on
Cancellation" of the Debts

Courageous, too, because it
flies in the face of powerful
financial interests, is Gar
ner's stand on the "cancella-
tion' or transfer of the for
eign debts. 1t is worth re-
cording that on the day
James NJ. Beck was remind
ing the English people that
the repudiation of debts
means loss of confidence in
the repudiators Mr.. Garner
should be saying:
"An individual who bor-
rows money and makes no
honest effort to repay is dis
honest; and the same applies
to a nation.
"If foreign debts should be
cancelled the credit of the
nations involved would be
destroyed and they can not
borrow again"
This is such a trite conf
ment that we are increas
ingly appalled, by the in
sistence of persistent propa-
gandists of the international
banking group that it is dis
honest and detestable that
we should even ask our
debtors to attempt to pay.

WHY THE WAR WILL NOT
BRING BACK PROSPERITY"

The sales tax is already before Congress. The
Glass -Steagan Bill is already starting the infla-
ton. Even the forced loans are beginning-the
Hoover Governments Baby Bond" scheme. The
fact that these measures have already been in
PRODUCED shows the closeness of the war. It is
the plan Of the Hoover Government to have all
these measures already working when the war
begins so that only an extension of their APP
plicaton will be necessary, and their introduce
ton will not be obstructed by the resistance of
the masses of the population who will be against
the war.
Thus it is clear that the idea of "war pros
perity" is the most dangerous mirage for the
workers, which can only lead them into still
deeper misery and millions Of them to their
death. Japan, which has already begun the war,
does not seem to be enjoying much prosperity.
On the contrary, its economic difficulties have
increased, news leaks thru the censorship Of
increased unemployment and starvation, of de-
monstrations which are being savagely repressed
by an increasingly fascist government.
Organized Resistance
But how did the American workers react dur
ing the last war to the prosperity" that was
provided for them by the capitalist class? Only
their organized resistance prevented the bosses
from driving them down to lower standards of
living during the war. During the last war from
the A. F. Of L. Despite the fact that Gompers
Green and Vol had sold the A. F. Of L. body
and soul to the bosses war machine, they were
unable to completely prevent the struggles of
the workers Time after time, from 1917 to 1919
the workers forced concessions from the bosses
by strike threat of strike. Despite the pledges
OF Gompers, the menace Of these 100000 or
ganized workers hung like sword over the heads
of their bosses, holding back the full force Of
the bosses attack
Today, the extent TO which the workers will
be able to resist the war and misery lies now In
the extent to which we, the revolutionary adj
vance-guard Of the working class, will be able
to lead the masses Of workers TO organize and
struggle thru the revolutionary unions OF the
TU.UL, thru the, rank and file opposition
groups in the A. F. Of L., to the extent that
we will be able to make their daily struggles
part and parcel of the struggle to stop the war
against the Soviet Union, of the struggle to turn
the imperialst war into civil war.

SOciaI-democratiC workers, members of the re-
fOrmiSt trade unions! Your leaders, the kings
ministers OF imperalist world war stand shoulder
to shoulder with the criminal inperialist war
makers. They deceive you with the slogan:
mo more warl" Before the last world war they
came forward with hypocritical phrases against
war and then actively took part in 1t. The
Second international and the Amsterdam Trade
Union international are the worst meters of the
capitalist offensive; they prepare the way for
fascisn. They carry out brutal wage cuts, they
come forward openly and cynically as organizers
pf strike breaking And now they crown their
e-dnes with the preparation for the new inn
perialist world war The japanese social demo-
cracy, following the example of the German and
French social democracy in the year 1914 grants
war credits to Japanese robber imperialism and
defends the predatory attack on Manchur1a and
Shanghai; it is allied with the most reactionary
military clique.
The leaders Of the Second international &C.
cupy first place in the Indictment against the
Soviet Union. II is their ministers, their police
presidents, who protect the transport Of arms
and munitions for Japanese imperialism. 1t is
their press which, in order to justify the crime
inal actions of the social democratic leaders put
forward the slanderouS and lying assertion that
the weapons and munitions which are being
produced in the armament industries of the
whole of Europe for Japanese imperialism, are
destined for China and the Red Army; that no
danger Of intervention threatens the Soviet
Union that the Soviet Union has concluded a
secret agreement with Japan. The appeal Of
the international Trade Union Federation
against the transport Of arms and munitions is
exposed by the practical actions Of the social
democratic and reformist leaders as q new de-
ceitful manoeuvre. It Is the leaders Of the
Second and Of the Amsterdam Internationals
who forcibly prevent any active revolutionary
mass struggle against the war-makers and those
who make profit out Of the imperialist war. 1t
is they who tell the unemployed that war will
bring them bread and work. At the same
moment when the social-democratic and re-
forrnist leaders talk about peace, the German
social-denocratic party vote for Hindenburg, the

you as cannon fodder at the fronts as wage
slaves in the munition factories against your

fresh taxes, increased usurious interest, more
forced sales, more compulsory labor for the big
