Stuart Chase Points to Sweden as
Yardstick for Recovery

THE cooperative societies of Sweden
own and operate ten precent of all in
dustry and handle some so per cent of
all retail trade in such essentials as
food, clothing, Shoes" says Stuart
Chase, author-economist in his latest
book, Government in Business" "The
cooperative broke the margarine trust,
the flour trust, the shoe trust, the cleo
trio lamp cartel. They break one pri-
vate monopoly after another by threat
ening to organize their own supply,
This has proved far more effective
than antitrust laws. The price Of
lamps was driven down from thirty
seven cents to twenty" he continues.
Sweden has obviously mastered the
yardstick technique with which Mr..
Roosevelt is now struggling. She has
the highest standard of living in Euro
pc, higher even than for the mass Of
Americans. She is now about 50 per
cent collectivized - including the CO.
operatives as public business. Private
business has resigned itself to the in
evitable, and from time t. time actively
cooperates in some aspect of state en-
terprise."

from Edmonton, Canada, to south OF
the Texas panhandle. The Soviet's
black belt, Of similar width, runs east
to west from the Rumanian border far
into the heart OF Siberia nearly
twice as far as that Of the United
States.
The only limiting factor Of both black
belts is the question Of rainfall. Every
year there are crop failures due to
drouth or pests in various parts of the
land, but it is now an established prac-
tice for the government to send into
these areas supplies Of food drawn
from its reserve stores. | talked with
farmers in various sections who had
been so assisted in past years. They
told me that the assurance of govern
ment aid in drouth years removed from
their families minds the greatest fear
that used to haunt the dreams Of the
old peasants. They laugh when you
talk to them about hunger.
With such a vast area OF rich land
there seems to be nolimit to the pos
sible production Of food products from
the mechanical Soviet farms. There
is nc doubt that within a few years
they will be producing more than a
liberal diet from every soil in the land.

Workers Oppose War

Sentiment expressed at Atlantic City was deep
er and stronger anti-war than was discovered by
newspapers supposed to be covering the pro-
ceedings. There was an undercurrent of feeling
that caused men to forget their minor differences
and vote in a body. The depths Of determine
ton to block moves toward war came to the sur
face when the Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers
introduced a resolution that met with instant
concurrence on the part of the Resolutions Com
mittee and quick recognition and support on the
part Of the delegates.
The resolution was unequivocal and it warned
administrations that there was likely to be an
upheaval if war propaganda gained in Roadway
in this country. The resolution directly threat
ened a general strike by all organizations affili-
ated with the American Federation Of Labor if
an imperalistic war seemed likely to involve the
people of this country.
All wars are imperialistic in that they are wag-
ed for conquest and profit. Wars are made by
men who never fight in them. Men who fight
and who provide materials for war are at a turn
ing point. Enlightened workers will not sup
port wars to make more billionaires. This is a
powerful deterrent and the point should be press
ed.

Labor and Radio

From inquiries to this office it is apparent that
some sections of the labor movement are awake
to the force that radio plays in modern life. Radio
has ceased to be merely a form of entertainment
and has become a means of shaping public OPP
inion in regard to public affairs. The situation
is not unlike the newspaper set-up. In the news
paper field there are powerful strings of daily
papers owned by syndicates and individual edi-
tors, subsidized by advertisers and acting as bull
warks for the propertied classes. No where in
the United States is there a labor daily paper.
Several attempts have been made to establish la
Dor dailies, without success. As a makeshift la
Dor has turned to the weekly and monthly jour
nalistic field with considerable success. We have
only to point to the weekly, Labor" with its
nearly a million circulation in the United States
and Canada, as one of labor's successful journal
istic efforts. In the radio field the parallel is ap-
parent. The National Broadcasting Company
and the Columbia Broadcasting System repre-
sent great chains Of radio stations dominated by
the property classes and subsidized by advertis-
ers. Labor has not yet entered the small station
field, the parallel of the weekly newspaper. VIC
FL, the outstanding example of labor in radio,
might be likened to the national labor weekly,
Labor" This brief analogy is being made at
this particular hour because an opportunity has
arisen for labor to enter the small station field.
The federal government recognizes the need for
the development of this field and put it at the
service of citizens groups, such as labor and
farm co-operatives. There is going to be a
breakdown in some of the wave lengths on the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts and this will open
up channels which have hitherto been closed. A
survey which has recently been made on the
possibilities Of utilizing go k.c. brings out that
more than 20 cities Of more than 100000 popu-
lation could utilize this channel without undue
interference with other stations in cities ada
cent. In addition to these 20 cities of the large
rank, a greater number of small cities could also
utilize this wave length. Now is the time for
labor to realize its possibilities in this type of
public communication and take steps to estab-
fish stations where labor groups, farm groups,
and other citizens groups can have true express
sion for their aims and aspirations.

Clothes and Brooms
Added to Union List

The Union Label Buying Campaign
initiated by the Miners Union is max
ing satisfactory progress. Some addi-
tional brands have been added to the
list OF the union made goods.
The m of a few more local
merchants that handle union made
goods have been added to the list of
the Miners union including the STRAIT
ford Mems Shop which carries an i'm
posing array Of union made mems gar
ments. The Montana Broom and
Brush Company, which puts out the
only union made broom in Silver Bow
County was submitted TO the Miners
committee also. The Miners and the
other unions can serve this company
and themselves by encouraging pur-
chases of brooms made by this COM
pauy. Before this union label CAM
paign is over it is the intention Of the
Miners to %acquaint all of their mem
bers and their wives with the need Of
purchasing union made goods and in
this particular case there shouldn't be
a n%on-union broom used in Silver Bow
County by the time the campaign is
over.

Government Penalties Pride

Pride, honor, integrity, have no place in the
vocabulary or in the operations of the Works
Progress Division or of the Federal Emergency
Relief administration The Government pen
allies any individual who has traits which we
have been taught from childhood are %virtuous
and admirable. What happens in the United
States when an Individual possesses these quail
ties? For one thing he is not allowed to work
for the Government in any of the projects under
the Works Project Administration Let us il
l~ustrate this.
Many men who were quite financially indie
pendent in the beginning of the depression have
lost their fortunes. Other men and women, who
did not have a fortune but who had saved a little
money or property through thrift and individual
ism, which we have been taught are the highest
qualities of an American citizen and who have
lost those possessions, are now reduced to a
state of peonage. Had these same individuals
been able to pierce the future they would have
acted differently. These same people sold their
homes, borrowed money, on their insurance poll
cies, ate up the nest egg which they had in the
bank because they were too proud, had too much
integrity, to ask tie Government to assist them
or to apply for relief. Now all Of their savings
are gone. Feeling that they rightfully deserve
some consideration from the Government which
they have assisted during the long depression
they apply to the Works Project Administration
for work. The crulest decision faces their re-
quest. They are rejected. The question nat
urally arises, Why are they rejected? They are
rejected this work by the Government because
they have not been on relief. How preposter-
ousl How unjust What a reward for the sac
rifices they made in their futile efforts to sus-
tain their Government. Following is a quota
ton of the official order from Washington pro
hibiting anyone from being given work on the
w. P. A.. if he had not been registered for re-
lief prior to October 81, 1885. These proud folks
may be given relief but they are not allowed to
work.
Montana labor news., 1935-11-21
No Qualifications Allowed After October 81.

The Works Progress Administration has been
notified from Washington that they are to ac-
cept no certifications from w. P. A. on clients
who come on relief on or after November /,
1885; that is, you are not allowed to certify new
or reopened cases for the works program after
October 81, 1885. This does not mean that they
may not be accepted for relief. A family may be
accepted for relief as long as Federal Emergency
Relief funds are available, but may not be GER
titled to the works program after the afore-
mentioned date. Inasmuch as this is a w. P.
A. ruling, it WILDE useless for the county admin
%istrator and caseworkers to forward COOS for
families accepted as of November /, 1885 or
later.

Rich Land, Collective
Farms Increase
Soviet Production

There is today a sufficient reserve OF
food in the Soviet Union to feed the
entire nation for two years, even if the
crops Of 1886 and 1887 were to fail
completely, Soviet statistics show. Such
have been the gains Of collective agri-
culture in the last few years.
Despite the fact that in recent years
the giant new industries Of the U. S.
s.. r. have called hundreds of thous-
ands Of peasants from the country,
farm production has been steadily ris-
ing. But the new collective farms have
transformed the face of the country
side.
Today when one takes the train
from the Soviet Union across the Dor
der into Poland one sees the fields that
used to exist in the Soviet country
side. For Poland's farmlands are cut
up into strips far too small for trac-
tors. A peasant may have a number
Of these strips, averaging 50 yards
wide and 100 long, in different parts
OF the village and spend much Of his
time running from one to the other. ]
saw no strips at all this summer in the
Soviet Union unless n counts the new
private plots Of land which are attach
ed to every collective farmers home
Today each farmer has about an acre
and a(half Of such land on which tc
grow vegetables for his own consump-
ton or sale.
American farmers are in the best
position to picture the vast farming
areas OF the Soviet Union because OF
the similarity between the two nations,
each Of which stretches from ocean to
ocean. In America, for example, we
have a rich black soil belt averaging
