between Japan and China are not

the effects of condition Of spiri-

The president Of the Norway

stitute it must come to the place
where they will conduct them
selves riehteously. He said that
he had noticed that his own nation
needed spiritual help, so he had
invited leaders of the Oxford

results, he said, were very crafty

Old CAPITALIST DEVICE TURNS UP
IN RUSSIA
Ia RRUCE CATTONl


Tho sneed-np is an old and dreaded Ell"
envy of the American workman. The work
man resents it, and blameS it on the GU
riditv of his boss. Sometimes, if he is feel
mo especially rowelled by the practice, ne
bIames it on capitalism as an institution.
q So there is something rather odd in the
news that this same speed-up has made Its
appearance in-of all places-Soviet Rus-
STA.
Some of the Russians don't seem to like
It any better than their cOnferees in capt.
talistic lands, either. At any rate, recent
dispatch from Moscow tells how the gov
ernment is having two men shot for object
ing to the speed-up, and is sending good
many more to prison.
: 1t all started, as far as Russia was COLI
cerned, when ali ambitious Russian miner
discovered that by swinging his pick pro-
perry, making every move count, and TAX
ing less time out to chew sunflower seeds,
he could increase his production by some
thing like 400 per cent-which makes one
suspect, offhand, that his original produc-
zion couldn't have been anything to brag
about.
" Anyhow, he made his discovery and act
ed on it. and the government was duly I'M
pressed. Now everyone is doing it, willy
Nilly, from mine to factory to cooperative
farm.
This is boosting production, causing the
setting of many new records, creating a
buying boom in the Moscow department
stOreS-and, last but not least, causing
some Old-fashiOned capitalistic discomfort
to swing the picks.
3 And the Russians, who have a way all
their own of dealing with discomfort, have
handed out two death sentences and a
number of prison terms to encourage the
lazy.
This modern world is full of surprises
but none of them is much more unexpect-
ed than this business of workers in work
erS state suffering from that same work
erS bugabOo, the Speed-up. And it leads
one to wonder if it isn't modern production
ltself-the chronological necessity for turn
ing out constantly increasing quantities OF
goods at a constantly increasing efficiency
which is the basic cause of proletariar
discomfort.
That is to say that we are, after all. ir
the hands of our own technology. The ma
chimes have taken charge.
We have devised means of life, based
on mass production, which lays down it:
own rules. 1t steps up the pace of life, de-
mands that we be ruthlessly efficient, anc
breaks us if We can't stand it.
: 1t works under Communism as under
capitalism. Instead of adjusting itself t,
our needs, it forces US to adjust ourselve
TO it.
> Having started it, we cannot stop it, bu
must keep pace, no matter how it inks us
The rule seems to hold good in Moscow al
well as in Detroit

MILLS SCORES
u. 5. SPENDING

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 10
(U.SD.-Ogden L. Mills, Secretary
Of the Treasury in the Hoover
Cabinet, warned the nation last
night against the perils of "fin-
ancial drifting" In an address
before the Columbus Chamber OF
Commerce he denounced the
Roosevelt administration for what
he termed "the falacies underlying
its major economic policies"
Mr.. Mills raised four main
points in his indictment against
the Government at Washington:
/. Financing recovery with def
cits doesn't work.
2. A program of deliberate Gov
ernment spending is thoroughly
demoralizing to the whole nation.
8. Nearly every case of currency
Initiation in history has had its
beginning in chronicaly un-
balanced national budget.
4. Our Federal deficits have laid
the foundation for unprecedented
bank credit initiation; on the other
hand, their continuance consti-
tutes the chief obstacle to control
Of such credit initiation by the
Federal Reserve System.

Administration had made no i'm
provement whatever in the under
lying causes of unemployment.

i. s., FRANCE
HOLD BULK
OF GOLD

The United States and France
are the worlds two largest hold.
ers Of gold. Well ahead of France
in the value of our gold stock, we
have increased our supply several
billions of dollars in the last three
years, while France has lost
large amount.
When the United States reval-
ued the gold content of the dol
lar, in January, 1884, our gold
was worth $6,829,000,000. For
purposes of comparison, gold in
the United States was valued at
$35 an ounce. Toward the end of
November. 1885, our stock of gold
was worth 100000. This
gain of $2,973, ,000,000 from the
early 1884 figure (an average
monthly gain of $l35.O00 ,OO0) :,
has been accomplished in three
years:
/. Gold turned over to the Gov
ernment by Americans upon ma
tionalization of the metal.
2. Increased production of gold,
inspired by the higher price.
8. Shipments from other ma
tions. particularly countries on the
gold standard.
This third method has &C.
counted for the largest share OF
our increase. Weakness of foreign
currencies, when matched against
the American dollar in the foreign
exchange market, has made it
profitable to buy such foreign cur
rencies, convert the paper into
gold and ship the metal here.
Just this situation has been
plaguing France during the last
few months. Clinging to the gold
standard in the face of an in
ternal crisis. that nation has
watched foreigners and its own
citizens withdraw more and more
gold from the Bank of France. AS
q result, by the middle of Novem-
Der, 1885, Frances gold holdings
had fallen to four billion six hun
dred and sixty-seven million dol
lars, compared with five billion
four hundred and seventy-nire
million dollars only nine months
earlier.
