CURB SHARES RISE
IN QUIET TRADING

CAUTION IN CREDIT
POLICY DEFENDED
Strieter Bank Requirements
for Loans Seen by Kansas
Institution.
BY C b. UPHAM.

Stricter credit requirements on the
part of commercial banks are predicted
in the current bulletin Of the Federal
Land Bank of Wichita, Kans. At a time
when there is considerable criticism on
the part of laymen to the effect that
the banks are partly at fault for the
delay in return of prosperous conditions,
because of their hesitancy to extend
credit accommodations to business and
industry. this Federal agency speaks out
in justification Of greater care and eau
ton in extending bank loans than has
marked the action of bankers in the
past. ,.,
uniformed criticism OF their present
insistence on liquidity. 1t is all very
we'll. they say, to talk about courage
GUS credit policy to stimulate INDUSTRY
and the necessity for greater lperallty
in meeting the credit demands OF COM
mercial customers, but the oanker can
not look at the matter either In tne
abstract or regard the mass OF credit
as a whole. He must deal with the risk
incident to the individual credit appli-
cation in hand, and must keep proml-
nent in his consideration the condition
of his institution, and the fact that it
is not his own money that is being lent.
In the light of their experience, the
wichita bank bulletin reads, 1T is eX-
pected that banks will inquire even
r,ore closely than heretofore into the
financial condition and business habits
of ali who wish to borrow"
The Wichita Land Bank, generally
regarded as one of the most conserva-
tive tive of those institutions, has strenu-
o,,sly I opposed any moratorium to the
farmers indebted to it. The BANK mas
announced its intention Of not taking
advantage of the recent law authorizing
f1eA the Secretary of the Treasury to sub,
scribe % to the capital stock OF Federal
land banks. 1t continues to lend to
farmers who meet its requirements,
having made e5 loans in the FIRST two
month Months of 1882, but It's rejections to-

U, S. FOREIGN TRADE
IS WELL MAINTAINED

BY the Associated Press.
Although values of American exports
and imports declined approximately
one-third In 1891 from those Of 1880,
studies made public today by the Com
merce Department showed that the ac-
tual volume of imports dropped only 10
per cent and exports 20.
Earnest A. Tupper, assistant chief Of
the Division of Economic Research,
made the foreign trade analysis, show
ing exports of 2,424,000 900 and i'm
ports OF $1,000, 100000 during 1881. He
asserted the United States export trade
dropped slightly more than domestic
business and import trade slightly less.
Commenting on the study, Frederick
M. Feiker, director OF the Bureau OF For
eiQn and Domestic Commerce, char
acteri2ed the showing as "a magnificent
effort on the part of our foreign
traders" The volume of business, he
said, was large In the face OF extreme
handicapS."
Political and social unrest, price
weakness. large and increasing world
stocks. changing commercial policies,
strained finances and depreciating ex
change were ascribed by Tupper in his
study as the chief causes OF the falling
off in business. The 1881 business was

Old Parties Serve Capitalists

The capitalist parties -Republi-

together with their A. F. of

this election campaign in different
garb; each will pretend to offer a
way out of the crisis beneficial to

Use jobs and plenty to the workers
if elected. But behind all their false
promises and all of their apparent
differences, the workers must see
their reactionary actions while in
office, their brutal attacks on the
workers and their protection of the
rich. The workers must see that
these parties have been and are
now the defenders of the capitalists
and the bitter enemies of the
workers.
Leading the attack against the
workers is the Hoover government,
with its bipartisan coalition of Re-
publican-Democratic parties. Com
posed of rapacious profit-seekers,
loyal agents of Wall Street, corpo-
ration promoters, and the biggest
capitalists themselves (Mellon-Hoo-

these partners in the robbery of
the masses seek in the coming cleo
tions to again ensnare the masses
in the age-old swindle of turning
out the Republican rascals" only to
replace them with their Democratic
twin brothers.
In order to trick those workers
and farmers who are no longer fool
ed by two-party fakery, NEW DEM
agogy and promises are being in
dulged in to make the masses
choose between ''PrOgressives" and
'HReactiOnaries" within the two
open capitalist parties.
But this is merely the division of
labor between two parts of the
same gang of swindlers, who are
working together on one platform,
which is the capitalist way out of
the crisis.
The so-called Progressives have
exactly the same reactionary pro-
gram. as Hoover, the program to
lower the living standards of the
masses in order to raise the profits
of the capitalists. The progressive
Republican, Pinchot, as governor
of Pennsylvania, drives through the
wage-cuts against miners, steel
workers and all others, with the
same ruthlessness as Hoover does
nationally; his state troopers kill
strikers and unemployed workers
and smash labor unions just as eff
fectively as his 'reactionary"
brothers. The progressive Demo-

Rally Against Starvation and War

Against all these parties which
openly or hiddenly attempt to
force through the capitalist way
out of the crisis, the Communist
Party calls upon the workers and
farmers of America, white and
Negro to rally for the struggle
against starvation and war, for
the immediate demands stated
above, for the revolutionary way
out of the crisis.
These measures represent what
a large majority of workers and
farmers WISH TO HAVE NOW.
These things can only be gotten by
fighting for, them. They cut across
the capitalist way out of the cri-
sis, because they do not take into
account capitalist profits, for
which the capitalists and their lieu
tenants will fight to the death.
1t was the Communist Party
alone which forewarned the work
ers of the approaching crisis long
before the crisis began; it was the
Communist Party which has per-
sistently warned the workers of the
war plans of the imperialists; it
was the Communist Party which
alone raised the banner of mass
struggle against unemployment,
lynching, police terror, wage cuts
and imperialist war.
The great hunger marches and
demonstrations of the unemployed
in hundreds of cities; the strikes of
the miners in Western Pennsylva-
mia, Eastern Ohio, West Virginia
and Kentucky; the textile strikes in
Paterson, Lawrence and many 9TH
err cities; the mass mobilization
against terror in Chicago, Detroit,
Harlan, etc.; the strong fight
against lynching, for the defense of
the Scottsboro boys-all these, in
which the Communist Party played
the leading role, are the best proof
that the Communist Party alone
deserves the confidence of the
workers.
The Socialist Party and it's cleft
ally, the Music group, especially
has tried in the past and tries now
to break up the workers fight for
the program put forward by the
Communists, by bringing forward
its own substitute of Something
just as good, by making its fake
program look as much as possible
''like the Communists, by talking
revolutionary, by arguing for
choice of ''the lesser evil', by put
ting themselves forth as "the same
thing only more practical.
But all their demagogic claims
are given the lie by the capitalist
class itself, which takes the Social
list Party and its leaders, especially
its darlings, Norman Thomas, the

starve the unemployed and club
strikers, smile upon the lynching of
Negroes and dispossession of bank
rupt farmers, the same as any ''re-
dictionary.
The difference between Progress
sive and ReactiOnary is merely on
the surface, for purposes of dema-
gogy, to hide the same basic pro-
gram of the capitalist way out of
the crisis.
Openly supporting the Hoover
program, is the officialdom of the
American Federation of Labor. It
fights against the workers and for
the capitalists ON every essential
point. It fights against UnemplOy-
ment Insurance, against the bonus
for the ex-sOldiers, it prevents
strikes and signs agreements for
broad wage-cuts, it fights for huge
grants of money to the corporations
and taxation of the masses, it sup
ports new laws to help build greater
giant monOpolies, it helps prepare
imperialist wars, especially the war
against the Soviet Union. Through
its deceitful "non-partisan" policy
of reward friends and punish en-
emies", it delivers the workers
gagged and bound to the Republi-
cans and Democrats, progress
sives" and reactionaries, in order to
further confuse and divide the
working class. 1t decks itself out
in victories" like the so-called
anti-injunction law, which fastens
injunctions and "yellow dog con-
tracts ever more firmly upon the
workers than ever before.
The reactionary Officialdom
of the American Federation of
Labor is an agency of capitalism
among the workers for putting
over the capitalist way out of the
crisis.
The Socialist Party, together
with it's self-styled cleft wing
the Music groups the little
brother of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. It's special task is to
cover up the same program with
the mask of Socialist phrases, and
thus to prevent the awakening
workers from organizing for
really effective struggle. 1t sup
ports capitalist monopoly and trus-

slogans of naturalization of

respectable churchman, and Morris
Hillquit, the millionaire lawyer, to
its heart.
The Socialist Party is openly
recognized by the capitalist press
as the Third Capitalist Party,
which more and more becomes
, equally respectable in capitalist So
ciety with the other parties, as the
capitalists more and more need it
to fool and trick the awakening
workers.
Even to force concessions NOW
from the three capitalist parties,
there is no weapon so powerful as
a vote for Communism and partici-
patton in the daily struggles led
by the Communist Party.
Every concession, even the small
est, has only one powerful argu-
ment in its support which is lis
tened to by every capitalist poll
tician; that is the argument that it
is necessary in order to keep the
masses from turning to Commu-
nism'. The capitalists will grant
nothing to keep the masses from
the Socialist Party. They, on the
contrary, help drive the masses to
the Socialist Party as soon as the
masses begin to break away from
the Republicans and Democrats.
In the election campaign Of the
Communist Party, there is room
for the organized participation and
support of every worker in Ameri-
ca, man and woman, white and Ne
gro, without regard to whether he
is a member of the Communist
Party or not.
Every worker and workers or
ganization which is ready to fight
for the immediate demands is in
vited to be represented in the Com
munist Campaign Committees
which will organize and conduct
this campaign.
Support the Communist Election
Campaign. Rally behind its plat
form and candidates. Make this the
starting point of gigantic mass
movement against starvation, ter
rOr and war. Resist with all your
energy and strength the brutal at
tack of the capitalists. Fight for
unemployment insurance, against
wage cuts, for relief for the farm
ers, for equality for the Negroes,
against the murderOus capitalist
terror and against the plans for
new bloody imperialist war. Re-
sist the carrying through of the
capitalist way out of the crisis.
Fight for the workers way-for
the revolutionary way out of the
