The figures for 1882 are of course
not complete, but from all appearan-
ces, interest and dividend payments
this year will fall only slightly below
the level of 1929. While wage and
salary earners have had their total
earnings cut in half, stock and bond
holders are collecting almost as much
in 1882 as they did in 1929.
Since dividend and interest pay
ments in 1880 and 1881 were $1,644
million above the 1929 level, even
though the interest and dividend pay
ments of 1882 fell slightly below the
1929 payments, the net result for the
three years is a gain for property
holders of a billion and a quarter, or
a sixth Of their 1929 total. In the
same three years wage and salary
earners suffered a net loss equal to
more than nine-tenths of their 1879
income total.
Wage and salary earners are the
buyers. Stock and bond holders are
the investors. The American ruling
class is slashing wages and salaries,
both in private enterprises and In pub
lie service, down to depression depths
Meanwhile they are continuing dlvl-
dend and interest payments at a pros
perity figure. At the same time that
they heap still higher the mass OF sur
plus capital they force still lower the
purchasing power upon which they
must depend for a revival OF their
system of profit economy. They are
cutting their own Threats.

WILL MOVE ARMY
NEAR BIG CITIES
TO CRUSH UNREST

WASHINGTON - (FP) - Testi-
mony that Secretary of War Hurley
and Maj. Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
chief of staff, had told him that their
policy was to concentrate federal
troops near the great centers of pop
u%lation, and that Hurley talked of the
danger of reds and Communists,
was given the Senate Dec. 80, by Sen.
Connally of Texas. None of the Adj
ministration senators rose to dispute
his statement.
Connally was protesting against the
War Departments plan to withdraw a
cavalry unit from a fort neal Maria,
in the Big Bend region of the Mexican
border, and to bring the troops to
Kentucky, where they would eventual
ly be made to ride in armored cars
instead of in saddles.
Sen. Norris suggested that possibly
the ultimate destination of the troops
and others was not Kentucky, but the
District of Columbia.
"Recent events" said Norris, "have
put in the mind of the War Depart
ment the idea that a very large army
is required here. l am wondering
whether the transfer contemplated is
not just the first move. The Depart
ment may ultimately bring them to
this city in order to protect this great
capital against dissatisfied citizens
who may congregate here asking hat
various measures be enacted by Con-
gress."
81 had not intended to mention
that" Connally replied, "but | will
say that when | inquired of the Sec
rotary of War and the Chief of Staff
if the Federal government owed the
citizens along the border no protec-
ton from foreign raids, and if they
thought that was purely a function
of the State constabulary, and when
| asked them why they wanted to re-
move these troops they told me that
their policy was to concentrate these
troops in a few great posts near the
centers of population. And then the
Secretary of War, with a glitter OF
fear in his eye, referred to the reds,
and the possible Communists that
might be abroad in the land"
Connally said he challenged this po-
sition, to Hurley and Macarthur, sug-
costing that guarding the cities
against "reds" was as much a respon-
sibility of the police as was suppress
sion of raiding along the Mexican bor-
der. He said that the Army leaders
then fell back upon the stock argu-
ment that they needed to have the
army posts zeal the big cities where
civilian units can be trained" and

NEW YORK-(FP)-The masters
of United States business continue
their practice of economic suicide
cutting down on the income and pur-
chasing power of the workers, and
piling up huge funds Of surplus cap
ital IN the hands of those whose imme-
date demands for food, clothing and
shelter are already satisfied. Such
"retrenchment" and sterilization"
policies make it harder to sell goods
and thus p~rolong the depression.
Business Week publishes the follow
ing estimate of wage and salary de-
creases from 1929 to the end of 1882:
Year-Total wages and Loss from
salaries paid 1929 level
1929-$53,252 million
1890 45,5O3 millions 7,749 million
1881 37,741 million 15,511 million
1892 28,232 million 25,O20 million
Loss for three years-$48,280 million
The total loss in wages and salaries
for the last three years is almost
equal to the total amount paid in
wages and salaries during the whole
of 1929. The purchasing power of the
wage and salary earners of the United
States for 1882 is only about half
what it was three years earlier. The
policies followed by American big
business during the recession have
thus cut away half of the purchasing
power of those Americans who rely
upon wages and salaries for the money
with which to pay their rent and do
their marketing.
Contrast this record of decreased
purchasing power among the workers
with the increased investing power OF
the stock and bond holders.
The journal Of Commerce collects
and the Survey Of Current Business
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Commerce publishes each
month a summary of the dividend pay
ments of certain corporations and OF
the interest payments on industrial
municipal, state and federal bonds
This is not a complete record of United
States dividend and interest payments
Far from it. But it gives a good ides
of the direction in which dividend anc
interest payments are moving.

ECONOMIES DUE
IN AGRICULTURE

Drastic economies in expendi-
lures of the Department of Agri-
culture are expected to be recon-
mended in the budget estimates
for the fiscal year beginning
next June.
Such is the tenor of rumors
flying through the department,
partly backed by unofficial in
dications from officials controll-
ing agricultural appropriations.
Among the. reports is one hint
ing strongly that the Bureau of
Plant Quarantine may be merged
with the Bureau of Entomology.
If such a merger is consum-
mated, officials said today, ad-
ministrative expense would be
reduced and a number of en-
ployeS eliminated, although they
refused to answer whether Or
not the action is definitely con-
tennplated.
