Various suggestions, including
the taxation of foreign invest

means of stcnming the influx Of
foreign gold which. in three years

that this flood will upset the bal

We,

People
Trotzky in Mexico Is
Seen as Menace
to South.
BY JAY FRANKLIN.

BY JAY FRANKLIN.
no FAR the most important single
news event of 1897 is the arrival
Of Leon Trotzky in the Repub-
- lie of Mexico. Not since the
Braganzas sailed from Lisbon to seek
safety for the crown Of Portugal in
their Brazilian possessions has the
Old World cast of such hot political
fragment into the Western Hemi-
sphere. To us 1t must become increas-
ingly important, since it. means that
world revolution" in the Communist
sense, which has been outlawed at
Moscow. is now to make its headquar-
ters in the New World.
Trotzky's exile from the Soviet
Union, which his politico-military
genius did so much to create, has al
ready caused a schism in the MARKHAM
church" 1t resembles the murders
and betrayals which followed the
death of Mohamet and which left
their mark in the great sectS Of the
Shiites and Sunnites, into which Islam
Is divided. Since communism repre-
sents an almost exact parallel to the
Moslem menace which Christian Eu-
rope faced a thousand years ago, this
division between the Stalinites and the
TrotZkyites is of the greatest practical
importance. Already it has prevented
Trotzky from placing his remarkable
talents as an organizer of red victory
at the service OF the Spanish govern
ment. The Madrid and Barcelona
juntas darned not offend Moscow by
accepting Trotzky's aid.
Trotzky breaches the Communist
Jehad, the holy war" of Marxism:
World revolution. Stain has aban-
doned international socialism to build
socialism in Russia. Moreover. it is
difficult to doubt that the fact that
Trotzky is a Jew led to a concealed
anti-Semitism In the country which
was so long the center of the anti
Jewish agitation now conducted from
Berlin. One by one the international
Jewish agitators who created the bol-
shevik revolution have been picked off,
executed. imprisoned or exiled. Trot-
Zky Is the only great survivor at large,
and he has organized his own-the
Fourth-International to do the world
revolutionary job which Stain has
abandoned or postponed. Now, after
years Of exile, during which Stain
made even chilly Norway too hot to
hold Lenin's running mate, Trotzky
has found asylum in Mexico, itself the
scene of the greatest contemporary
revolution in the Western World.
This looks as though our Southern
States were going to see some stormy
weather. Conditions of the agricul-
tural workers in the cotton belt are
not so bad as were the conditions Of
the poems in old Mexico-condition
which led to revolution there-but the
level of intelligence and education Is
higher here, so that lesser grievances
might provoke an equal or a greater
resentment.
With the chairman of the Appropri-
ationS Committee-RepreSentative Bu-
chanan of Texas-already trying to
prevent resettlement aid to "shiftless'
tenant farmers, and with Senator
Bankhead's farm tenant bill pared
down to $50 .000, 900 year, the social
and economic troubles of the cotton
States will not be solved swiftly.

the relationships no government In the
world, has so used publicity as the
Roosevelt regime. Propaganda has
been introduced as an adjunct Of gov
ernment on an unprecedented scale.
We have not, like the Germans or the
Italians, established a special govern
ment department of propaganda and
enlightenment" but we have attached
such departments to practically every
branch of administration. The poll
cies and achievements of this admin
istration are being sold" to the Amer
lean people by experts in the busi-
ness, by the high-pressure methods
already developed by councillors on
public relations in the great corpora
tions.
The rumpus raised over this par
ticular book brought out that the
Resettlement Administration alone
turnd out in eight months, between
November and last June. over a quar-
ter of q million copies of printed
matter. Heaven only knows what the
total production of all the depart
ments-agriculture, as whole. relief,
labor, commerce. Relief Administra-
ton, etc.-would amount to, il printed
stuff, reports. mimeographed hand
outs to the press, photographs for pub
licity purposes, news releases and
pamphlets were all combined in one
place. Huge FORESTS would be needed
to replace the paper consumed; whole
buildings would be insufficient to house
the mass.
Nor does Government propaganda
confine itself to printed and mimeo-
graphed handouts to the press and
public. 1t has adopted other press
agent techniques A stunt of the COM
mercial press agents has long been to
interest special writer's, whose names
carry weight, in the commercial prof.
ects which they represent. and offer
such writers free trips, hotels, auto
mobiles and other perquisites to make
investigations" and write articles
which are then sold through normal
channels to magazines and newspa-
pers and appear as completely disin-
terested reports. A while ago. when
there was campaign on the part of
Hawaiian sugar interests to persuade
Congress to let their product come
into the United States free of tariff,
and give it preference over Cuban
sugar, writers were offered luxurious

trips to Hawaii with all expenses paid,
II only in whatever they wrote they
would point out that Hawaii Is an
integral part Of the United States"
Several celebrities accepted the sug-
able Winter vacation.
The administration uses the same
technique Special writer's who are
known to be favorable to the admins
tration have been offered opportuni-
ties to get ION the inside" on special
stories. They have been invited to
accompany commissions, been given
access to all sorts of privileged ma
terial, and otherwise aided in earning
their livings. Those who have been
critical have found the doors slammed
Battling Problems Offered.
For the independent and objective
reporter who wants to find out what
is actually going on, the Resettlement
Administration offers some battling
problems. A number of housing prof.
ects, costing many millions Of the tax
payers money, have been started or
completed. I defy reporter to find
out shat they have actually cost.
That information, in any specific de-
tail, Is simply not forthcoming. 1t is
not even easy to view the projects.
Some months ago the New Jersey gar
ment workers housing project was so
surrounded by guards that I, visiting
it, had to use the utmost cajolery to
be allowed to see one Of the houses.
A few weeks later went quarter OF
the way across the country at my own
expense to visit a suburban project
near Cincinnati, and met the same
dificulty. There it stood, open to the
four winds and partly completed, but
very icy gentleman barred my way
from even walking through the streets.
But at the gate was handed hand
some little brochure, describing the
whole thing in glowing terms and con-
tanning photographs which presented
the project as though 1t we're prac-
tically completed and the houses ready
for occupancy. was told that both
these projects had huge waiting lists.
see no reason on earth why press
agents and promotion experts should
be attached to a relief administration.
Certainly it is not necessary to ad
vertise Santa Claus to the relief
clients. They will find the place with
out any high pressure salesmanship.
And why must it advertise itself to
the taxpayer? He has to pay anyhow,
whether he likes it or not. His sub
scription is not solicited. 1t is COL
lected. Yet the Relief Administration
and all its branches have press agents,
under one name or another, whose
business is to turn out stories" about
the poor, about the nobility of the
Government, and about specific cases.
This is a new departure for dem
ocratic government and a dangerous
one It got its start during the war,
when expert moulders Of public opin-
ion and public psychology were turned
loose by the Government to sell the
people the war. Before that in most
countries the foreign Offices and the
chancellries had secretaries who were
really press attaches, contact men
with the correspondents, whose bus
iness it was to facilitate their getting
news. That was q useful and prob
ably necessary function.
