Perhaps the most ndubitable indication Of the

A survey of American peace movements from Left
to Right reveals an appalling confusion of aims and
political attitudes Particularly, there is an alarming
disposition ON the part of SINCERE church peace
groups to permit their activities to be directed by the
Wards, the Pages, the Niebuhrs, and the Schmalzes
whose political oyaltes have already gone over def
nitey to the cause of the SOCIAL REVOLUTION.
Unuuestionabfy the number of men and women in
the peace movements who are CONSCIOUS support
ers of communist revolution is small . But it
is the genius of the revolutionst that he is MOST
DANGEROUS WHEN MOST DISGUISED. He is
fortified at all times by a FIXED GOAL unifying
plan, and he EASILY OUTMANEUVERS the drift
ing majority which is painless before the challenge
of events. Particularly does the Lefst find it easy
to dominate when he enters the ambiguous environs
of pacifsm Since pacifsm is attitude rather than
philosophy, the Marxsts with their clearly defined
detectives find it easy to manipulate their peace CO.
workers TOWARD COLLECTIVIST ENDS.
From the standpoint of real world peace, the m
EXPERIMENTATION OF THE REDS IN the pacifst
movement is little short of DISASTROUS.
TIME MARXIST seeks not peace but CLASS
WAR He marches with pacifsm, not to end
war but to EXPLOIT PACIFTSM for the
launching of the most deadly nternecne strife which
has ever been suffered by mankind To admit such
INCOMPATIBLE ALLIES into its ranks is to for

THE WORLD
IN REVIEW
By JOEL SEIDMAN
Labor Economist and Educator
Instructor at BrOOkWOOd
Lab0r College

Lab0r CgLlege
The national craft union in
control of the American Fedora
ton of Labor did not distinguish
themselves for their wisdom at
the Tampa convention. Not only
did thev refuse to make any COM
promise on the industrial union
issue, but they restricted the
rights both of federal locals and
Of city central bodies.
These subordinate units in the
A F of l. structure have Of late
become too progressive to suit
the national craft heads. The re-
solutions they introduced at A +
of l. conventions, though they
could be defeated, proved annoy
ing. Some Of the city central DO
dies likewise offended through
their use of the boycott.
The restrictions adopted by the
Tampa convention are both IN
democratic and unrealistic. Fede-
raj locals in the future will have
to submit their resolutions to the
executive council a month before
the convention meets. Only If the
council approves will the resolu-
ton be placed before the cOnven-
ton.
National unions will not have
to follow these burdensome rules.
Their delegates will remain en-
titled to present resolutions di-
rely to the convention, until the
second day Of the meeting.
This discrimination against fed
eral locals is intolerable. Already
they were Disseminated against
by being taxed So cents monthly
per member, whereas nationa
unions paid but one cent.
Central labor bodies, in addi
ton, lose the right to declare &
boycott without the approval o.
national unions which have con
tracts with the employer. The ex
ecutive council has then to agret
before boycott can be declared
These rules will practically de
stroy the effectiveness of tn
boycott, because Of the time tina
will elapse before it can becom
effective.
The conservative craft unio
heads are seemingly drunk wit
power. BY their attitude the
may make a split inevitable, an
drive most federal locals ava
from the A F of L.
THE DIVIDEND RECORD
With the huge sum of $3.50
10000 declared in dividends j
November of this year, a new n
cord for a single month has bee
established. The old record {
1888, 100000, made in Decembt
Of 1880 looks very small in con
parison.
The vast increase in dividend
was due partly to returning pro
perity, and partly to the new ia
ON undistributed surplus corpo
ate earnings.
undoubtedly prosperity OF
sort has returned, with produ
ton being maintained this fall
a level 8 per cent above that
1923-26. There has been no pro
perity for wage-earners, howevt
with unemployment remainil
well above 100000.
Hourly wages, moreover rose
1886 to but half a cent abo
1885. Measured in terms of pJ
chasing power, workers actual
received less for an hours wo
this year than last.
The surplus tax law merely ]
quires corporations to distribJ
money to stockholders in the fol
Of dividends instead of holding
as surplus in the corporation
Golfers.
Prosperity is here for own
but not for workers.
