No doubt any American Social
movement should have one foot IN
the Rockies, the other in the Al

but the native Americanese. 1t
should root itself in the red clay and
black soil Of this country.
The Communist Party has failed to
overcome some Of the sectarian habits
formed in previous years. 1t still
needs to start humbly and earnestly
on a new voyage of discovery in pro-
letarian America.

action be adopted and that pro-
cess of thinking about this question
among the masses may be speeded-
up and intensified. Such results
will be sufficient to justify the Con-
gress being held.
What questions can be clarified?
First of all, the very gathering
of the Congress is in itself declar-
alton that extraordinary agencies
must be set up to obtain rallying
of forces against war. That means
the recognition of the need for a
broad united front of all the forces
in the country who are against war,
not only in words, but also we may
hope in deeds. 1t would be a use
full step to fight against war, to set
up such a united front center of
mass struggle, to expose and oppose
all forces making for war. That
means, in short, that only by strik-
ing out along new paths-by revo-
lutionary means-can war be ef-
fectively opposed. This question
will be clarified by the very gather
ing of the Congress, and at least
to some extent further by its delib-
erations.

Walt Whitman.

Walt Whitman is now conceded
even by the most stupid OF literary
professors to have been America S
grandest and most representative poet

the American poet who came closest

the fishermen, farmers, housewives,
soldiers.
It is Fascism that is foreign to the
spirit of every race, for it Suppresses
the majority of nation; it Is an
armed tyranny over the Working
Class.
Communism simply means the rule
of the majority - the rule Of the
workers and poor farmers; the self
expression and creative glory Of
downtrodden, silent millions Of
people. Looking backward. Which

The FaSciSts make their appeal
mostly to the lower middle class-the
doctors, lawyers, storekeepers, small
manufacturers, clerks, farmers and
white collar elements. This class is
being crushed by big business, and
Fascism, in the person of the loud
mouthed Huey Longs, promises them
immediate relief. These Hueys and
Father Coughlins and the like sound
almost revolutionary, until you ex-
anime very carefully what they are

They never promise to really
change the system. They want to
reform it. But you can't reform a
Ford Model T Of the year 1920. Its
day Is done; no amount of polish
will make it a good car; capitalism
Is finished; and fascism, a new coat
Of varnish, can't make the old clap
trap tin can better machine.
1t is the Workers who suffer most
under Fascism. They are being
beaten down In wages to the starv-
ing point in Germany and Italy; their
trade unions have been destroyed;
strikes are political crime. And
the lower middle class that put Mus
solini and Hitler in power, is begin
ming to see they are nothing but
the same Tammany Hall windbags,
LARS and racketeers as other capt.
alist politicians. The masses starve
In Fascist lands; it is only a small

AS a matter of fact, the same eco
nonic laws will produce about the
same results on any soil. You know
a peasant when you see him, whether
he is Chinese, Russian, African or
Texan. And when the lower middle
class is being crushed IN the modern
world BY the wars and depressions
of capitalism, 1t turns to fascism as
a sunflower to the sun. 1t accepts
the leadership OF the biggest capital
ist in their terroristic attacks on the
workers.
At first there were people who said
Fascism was purely Italian, and ex-
planned with all the usual hokum-
it was Latin, 1t was racial, 1t was
the Roman Empire again, etc, etc.
But fascism is the international foe
Of Communism. It develops the same
forms everywhere. The Germans
aped the Italians, and then Fascism
was said to be racially Teutonic. But
the Irish have now their own Fascist,
and the placid Brftons have theirs.
In France, which was supposed to be

the United States or England, 10 per

lust formed a Fascist party. Even
the Jewish race has q Fascist wing,

recently they began their nefarious
work by assassinating Jewish labor
leader.
Yes, it's the same the World over.
The inflamed bourgeois degenerates
OF each land, whipping themselves up

paration for new wars-many new
wars.
But Communism is more native to
sach land than Fascisn, for it is
rooted in the great working mass,
those who create the national life,
those who have fertilized the soil with
their blood and tears through the
centuries, those who make peace, who
build and create.

204O West North Avenue.
The day before the meeting a

various sections of Chicago, calling
upon the workers to demand the i'm

STOCKS STRONGER
IN FINAL TRADING
TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE SOx
Break in Repeal Issues
Causes Uncertainty, but
Rest Regain Poise.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July ia break In
the liquor stocks temporarily unsettled
today's market and produced an irregu-
lar reaction. The repeal issues closed
lower, but the rest Of the market re-
gained its poise and showed gains on
the average at the end.
The gold mining stocks were strong
all day, and in the last half hour the
other metals turned upward under the
leadership of International Nickel, st.
Joseph Lead and American Metals.
Taking 1t all and all, the action OF the
market was reaSsuring. It showed that
the advance was not dependent on con-
tinued speculation for the rise IN one or
two groups.
Grains Come Down.
The grains came down after Mondays
violent advance, but that was to be ex-
pected. Wheat closed "a to IA cents
a bushel lower The foreign exchanges
advanced against the dollar.
The turnover in the stock market ran
to around 5000, 900 shares
The opening was higher, with the
liquor stocks still the leaders. Some Of
them came out in large blocks, as for
instance Commercial Solvents, the first
transaction in which was 20. % shares,
up 334 points. The others registered
gains of greater or lesser amounts but
the advances were not held. Before
the first hour was over offerings ap-
peared in volume and there was q
sharp setback, large in points but not
out Of proportion to the previous rise.
BY noon the losses in such stocks a.
National Distillers, and American Com
meTcial Alcohol ran to 6 or points.
Commercial Solvents, for which the
opening was 81, broke through so ON
this weakness. Selling Of the alcohol
stocks unsettled the general list, which
was moderately lower. Before this had
happened, however, the usual list Of
new highs had been set up. Among
them the rubber and tire stocks and
the gold mining issues were con.
spicuous.
Opinion Divided.
The gold stocks were bought ON fur
Their reports from London of the
premium continental hoarders were
willing to pay in the open market,
Most OF them went to new highs be-
fore the reaction set in, including
Homestake, Alaska Juneau and McIn-
tyre. The strength in the rubbers was
a reflection Of Mondays advance in
the price Of crude. Rubber futures to-
day opened lower
Opinion was divided as to the imme-
date future Of the market. On this
point the action of the railway shares
was held to be significant As group
the carrier stocks are still below the
highs Of July Z. They advanced mod
erately IN the early trading today. but
not enough to create confidence. Tho
feature was the ST. Paul issues, in new
high ground in sympathy with the
strength in the bonds Of that road.

Proposed Imitation Would Raise
Property Values After Other
Prices, Expert Believes.

CHICAGO, IL. May 2o.-Comparing
the proposed imitation with the 225
per cent rise in prices during the war
years of 1916 and 1917, A. D. Theo-
bald of Chicago, director of research for
the American Savings, Building and
Losn Institute, affiliated with the
United States Building and Loan
League. asserts that the prosperity OF
those years was brought about primarily
by Government activity.
"If we do have imitation, the effect
will be rising real estate prices" says
Mr. Theobald. That certainly hap
pened during the war, but in the next
six months, after imitation is under way.
we should not expect real estate to be
in the front rank of the price rise, as
are stock market securities and whole
sale commodities. The rise will be a
little later and a little slower, but
steadier. Rents will rise, but not i'm
mediately and probably fairly slowly.
The tendency is for interest rates to
rise. as is indicated by the war expert
ence The best criterion is bond yields,
and one table for 10 great railroad
bonds-prime investment after Govern
ment securities at that time-the yield
was stable during 1916. but rose rather
rapidly during 1917, going from a little
more than per cent to per cent in
the middle of 1918, an increase of
around 20 per cent in the interest rates
on that type of security
