Between 1920 and 1929 more than SIC, OOO,-
100000 worth of foreign loans were f1oated in the
United States.
These figures bear out we'll enough the con-
tention of the communities relative to the ex-
tensive investment of capitaliStic countries in
overseas areas. 1t is also most certainly true
that new areas for further colonization and eX-
ploitation are now practically at an end. Like
wise, foreign markets are likely to become more
and more restricted.
Wholesale f1Otations of billions of dollars of
foreign bonds are also probably a thing of the
past. Even in the United States investment in
foreign bonds has all but ceased. If capitalism
depends upon ever expanding foreign markets
and greater expectation of capital abroad, then
the outlook is dark indeed.
The fact is, however, that it is finance
capitalism, directed by the great investment
bankers, which requires foreign investment and
exploitation for its continued existence. The
great moguls of predatory finance have been
behind the export of capital. 1t is probably
true that the contraction of foreign markets and
investments may spell the doom of finance
capitalism.
TNHIS is something however, which one who
l. wishes to save capitalism should greet with
great shouts of joy. Finance capitalism is the
undying and implacable enemy of any new
capitalism" which may be based upon adequate
purchasing power ana Une interests OF con-
sumers. The death of finance capitalism is the
only thing which can breathe the breath of life
into our paralyzed industrial capitalism.
1t is this finance capitalism which is respon-
sible for the fact that over $4,000, 600, 900 of our
investments abroad, exclusive of war debts, now
are in default. The whole story is told in its sad
details in Max Wunklers Foreign Bonds: Ar
Autopsy"
The same group is also responsible for the
fact that our social income has been diverted
from proper reward to workers and farmers into
speculative profits for the few who can not con-
sumo any large part of their gains and, hence
are unable to keep the wheels of industry turn
ing.
Industrial capitalism, however, does not re-
quire foreign investments of markets for its
very existence. If the masses are given a decent
share of the social income, they will have enough
purchasing power to provide a sufficient and
dependable home market.
But any such distribution of the social in
come requires economic vision and statesman
ship upon the part of those who control our
economy. Thus far, this does not appear to be
forthcoming. 1t is this point which the COM
munists should seize upon if they wish to find
the most vulnerable aspect of contemporary
capitalism.

Liberal Viewpoint
by DIR. HARRY ELMER BARNES

OF late I have been debating with leading
~ and well-informed communities on whether
there is the slightest possibility Of saving the
capitalistic system.
Any honest progressive will admit frankly
the desperate task involved in trying to save
capitalism, in the face Of the shortsightedness,
self1shness and greed which its responsible lead
ers exhibit.
The latter have shown an amazing incapacity
to profit by the all to clear lessons of the last
four or five years. But this is quite a different
matter from maintaining that under no condi-
ton could capitalism be rehabilitated
The committee almost invariably bases its
argument primarily upon a very dubious con-
tention.
1t asserts that capitalism requires vast
foreign markets, the export of a large volume of
capital, and the exploitation of backward parts
Of the earth.
In support of this thesis it is able to
bring forward a large amount of quantitative
evidence. Even nonsocialistic books tell the
story clearly with respect to the growth of i'm
perialism and foreign markets in the last gen.
Grafton.
Overseas investments of Europeans had be-
come very extensive by 1914. French invest
ments abroad amounted to $40, OOO,0 0O, 900, and
those Of Germany to at least $4,000 0O 900. The
English investments in India alone were around
S2,000,0 00,0 600. Large quantities of goods were
shipped to colonial and backward areas.
ONCE 1914, it is the United States which
has become the spectacular investor in for
eign areas. The following table presents the
total of our investments in 1882:

articles, ran away from him in Con-
gress and became a general revision.
Apparently the first act under which
any President entered upon a compre-
hensive program of tariff bargaining
by executive agreements was the Nc
Kinley act of 1890. According to the
statement of Assistant Secretary of
State Francis B. Sayre, in the hear
ings before the House Ways and
Means Committee this Winter, he
said that while the "constitutionality
Of this provision of the tariff act was
attacked in the case of Field VS.. Clark
on the ground that, in authorizing
the President to suspend the free i'm
portation of certain products, the
Congress had delegated to him both
legislative and treaty making powers"
that the Supreme Court had ruled
this not to be the case.
Wilson Bill Long Debated.
The next tariff legislation was the
Wilson act. 1t was a low tariff, tar
iff-for-revenue-o only, bill. 1t was de-
bated for three months in the Sem
ate, from April 2, 1894. to June S.
1894, and was passed on August 81
of that year.
President Cleveland pleaded for this
low tariff and eventually allowed it
to become a law without his sigma
ture. While the debate was going on
he wrote his famous and spirited let
ter to Mr.. Wilson, ending with the
words, Every true Democrat and
every sincere reformer knows that
this bill in its present form and as
it will be submitted to the conference
falls far short of the conSummation
for which we have long labored, for
which We have suffered defeat with
out disbursement, which, in its an
ticipation gave us rallying cry in
our day of triumph. and which in its
promised accomplishment is SO inter
woven with Democratic pledges and
Democratic success, that our aban-
donment of the cause or principles
upon which it rests means party per-
fldy and party dishonor." With such
tempered steel did the gentlemen of
the nineties fight for their causes.
In 1897 came the Dingley, Repub-
lican, high tariff act. The hue and
cry OF the time was to protect the
tin plate industry. The committee
reported it out of the Senate, saying:

The tariff, stumbling block Of so
many administrations. is having its
day in the Senate again. Only this
time the proposed legislation is tar
power to the Chief Executive than
any proceeding act or bill, dealing
with tariffs.
In this bill. which passed the House
after a debate of little more than a
week, the President does not suggest
a general tariff revision, schedule by
schedule. He proposes trading sys-
tenn, with the privilege of raising or
lowering duties by not more than 80
per cent or transferring any
article between the dutiable and the
free list" This limitation, as Sena-
tor Harrison pointed out on the floor
of the Senate last week, was estab-
lished by section 315 of the tariff act
of 1922 and continued in section 336
of the tariff act of 1880.

ment that is essentially new" con-
tinlled Senator Harrison, precipitatlng

1t was back in the seventies that
the question of tariffs first became

than one President has become en-

the Payne-Aldrich tariff act became

tration, it became the gibbet on which
the Republican power was hanged.
Though the Underwood Simmons bill
passed in 1918 and the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber in 1921, President Wilson was
saved from tariff difficulties by the
war, President Harding by death, and
President Coolidge by strategy. Presi-

first bill which provided two sched-
ules of duties, a minimum and a
maximum, was debated in the Senate
for three months, remained in con-
ference for a month and was passed
on August S, 1909. The report from
the conference said, "It has been the
cardinal principle OF the party in
power that the tariff should be pro-
tective to American industries and
American workmen" This act was
instrumental in putting the skids
under President Taft.
In 1913, with the Democratic ad-
ministration there was a return to
low tariff with the Underwood-S Sim
mons act. Not without a legislative
battle, however, because it was in
committee Sc days and debated on
the Senate floor for 81 days. The
argument for this was "the American
people have decided, as free
men must always decide, that the
power of taxation has no lawful or

NEW DEAL

CHICAG0-(FP)-The New Deal,

by Norman Thomas, distributed by
the Socialist Party, $40 Randolph st.
Thomas does not join the Roosevelt
bandwagon nor does he ballyhoo the
presidents efforts to get Old Mar
Capitalism to stand erect and walk
again, as the following sentences
taken from the pamphlet will show:
"What Roosevelt did was temper
arily to stabilize capitalism with a
few concessions to workers. In no
sense is the new deal socialism. Even
if Roosevelt succeeds in putting five
to six millions back to work as he has
promised, this will leave more unem-
ployed in America than in all of Eur
ope. The only real benefit that has
come from this act 1.-THE NRA) has
been the spur that it has given to the
organization of labor. Instead of ac-
curing the railroads at a bargain
price Roosevelt's co-ordinator is try
ing to bring them back to a condition
where they will pay some profit to
their owners. Without effective or
~ganization of the workers involved,
the New Deal is bound to become the
instrument of a slave state"
