| yesterday to present its views al
congressional hearings expected
next month to clear up the dispute
between the Commissioners ane
Guard officials over financial con-
troll Of the vast structure. At pres
ent the activities are being directed
by joint control committee.
Milo F. Christensen, District rec
reation superintendent, said the
board asked the Commissioners last
February to authorize it to direct
public functions at the Armory's
drill hall.
At the same time the board voted
to continue to seek the transfer oi
swimming pools, golf courses, tennis
courts and other recreational facili-
ties from Federal control to control
of the board. The facilities now are
operated by the Interior Department
through Government Services, Inc.
A special committee, headed by
James E. Schwab, will study the
situation. It also was instructed to
ask the Secretary of Interior not to
renew contracts with concession
aires until the board has had a
chance to act. The board contends
it is empowered to operate the rec
reational facilities but that the IN
terror Department has declined to
relinquish them.
Chairman Harry S. Wender ex-
pressed the boards opinion that the
National Capital Parks does not
specialize in recreation projects and
is not equipped to handle them
properly. According to Mr.. Wender,
the current administrative system
allows the profits of one recreational
project to make up the losses of an
other. The board, he said, feels that
project profits should be used to i'm
prove those whose healthy financial
condition shows them to be popular.
According to the board, the De-
partment of the Interior calls the
present management of golf, SWIM
ming and tennis facilities satisfac-
tory.

| The Federal Trade Commission re-
port on monopolies issued late in July,
showing enormous growth of monop-
| oily since 1910 in spite of the Clayton
Antitrust law, might Rave had post
scrip which read:
you AMT SEEN NUTHIN' YET"
The monopolists and their captive
| life insurance companies have just
uncovered a new device by which they
can dip almost directly in to the $50
BILLIONS of reserves of the big life
companies to further expand the grip
of monopoly on the USA.
Only a few days after the ETC warn
ed that monopoly has grown so great
that it threatens to dominate the ma
ton, the Wall Street Journal gave its
most prominent space to a report on
how the big life companies are buying
the real estate and buildings of giant
corporations and then leasing them
back to the corporations. The opera
alton, based on money collected from
millions of poIcyholders, relieves the
corporations of the necessity of tying
up money in real property, and re-
leases their millions for further expan-
sion and monopoization of the nations
economic life.
''This, in a quiet way" wrote Harry
Rohs of the Wall Street Journal staff,
sis financial revolution =. Actual
ly, the $500 million which insurance
firms have put into stores and factor
les, warehouses and laboratories,
doesn't add up to much more than an
experiment so far. It's pittance COM
pared to the $50 BILLION of assets
life companies tote on their books"
Rohs predicted that BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, collected together through
life insurance premiums, would ulti-
mately be funneled to the corpora
lions by the buy-lease system.
AS examples of who gets the benefit
of this life insurance money, the Wall
Street Journal man listed several
deals, as follows:
New York Life is building a 49,
story SO million office building in
Los Angeles for the General Petrol
cum Corp, a subsidiary of Socony-
Vacuum
Continental Can Co. plans to
build around the country some $40

Debs' 1910 Advice
Still Applicable To
American Labor
By ELWOOD R. KEPPLEY

Now that he is dead and safely
buried these many years, the organ
lied labor movement likes to claim
Gene Debs as one of their boys. A
sure fire method of securing applause
at most old line labor conventions is
to ring in the name of Eugene v.
Debs.
However, way back in 1910 Debs
wrote an article on working class pol
itics that is particularly timely today
and most of the big boys in the labor
movement will like it even less today
than they did then.
He said: "rne workers themselves
must take the initiative in uniting
their forces for effective economic
and political action; their leaders Will
never do it for them. They must no
longer suffer themselves to be de-
ceived by the specious arguments or
their betrayers, who blatantly boast
of their unionism that they may traf-
fic in it and sell out politically the
dupes who blindly follow them. |
have very little use for labor leaders
in general and none at all for the kind
who feel their self Importance and
are so impressed by their own wisdom
that where they lead their dupes are
expected to blindly follow without a
question Such leaders" lead their
victims to the shambles and deliver
them over for consideration and this
is possible only among craft-dlylded
wage slaves who are kept apart for
the very purpose that they may feel
their economic helplessness and rely
upon some leader to do something
for them"
There are exceptions of course, but
the very exceptions verify the rule!
And, the fact that many leaders" are
well intentioned but mislead will be a
poor excuse for the betrayal OF the
hopes and ASPIRATIONS of the common
people.

Doesn't Make Sense, Does 1t?

Under the Pick-Sloan plan 100000
of the 1,S4O0,60O acre feet of annual
run-off rising west of the 98th Nerd
ian will be used to restore Devils
Lake (Dakota); about 1,750,000 a.f.
will be available for irrigation in Mon
tana, North and South Dakota and
Wyoming, and the balance of the an
nual run-off will go to supply the 9-foot
navigation channel of the Army Engi-
neers. The four above mentioned
states, should Pick-Sloan become a
reality, will be without water for g.
100000 acres of irrigable land. Under

Bulgarian independence? In terms

ception of independence signifies

: This is the pattern. Hateful,
spiteful, malicious cracks with the
universal ring. 1t would take a
book to answer them. But it final
ly boiIs down to this: Those who
are determined to cultivate friend
ship with the Soviet Union are bad;
those who have deprived fascists
and neo-fascists of freedom of ex-
preston are evil. This policy leaves
just one embarrassing and unan-
swered question: Why did we join

LOBBYING IS Big

their speeches, giving them special
Imemorandums on how to vote, draft
ing bills for them, feeding dope sto-
| ries to the press, etc. Instead of hay
ing laws made by the peoples elected
made = or unmade by the highest
paid, high-pressure lobbyists of Big
Business.
This is one explanation of the mis-
cradle record of the 10Th and Both
, Congresses. The American people
wanted OPA, 9 to I, but virtually
every industry in the country, headed
by the NAM, had it's lobby down here
Yelling Congress to Kill price control.
Congress and the administration list
ened to the Hobbies and ignored the
people.
Killed Wagner Act
The vast majority of Americans
supported the great labor reforms of
the New Deal-the Wagner Act. the
anti-injunction act
and the Fair Labor Standards act
But the manufacturers sent high-paid
lawyers to sit with the congressional
labor committees and help them re-
wise the Wagner act and the Norris
LaGuardia act. The result was the
Taft-Hartley act, which undid all the
New Deal
When UE delegates visited their
sion, they found that the real estate
lobby had supplied every congress
man with a mimeographed sheet OPP
posing public housing and slum clear
ance The aft-Ellender-Wagner bill
was killed.
Lobbying is big business. During
April May and June of 1913 alone,
the oil lobby reported spending $70,-
900 to get control of the 'tide-lands
oil and to get steel pipe for their oil
fields in Arabia The railroad lobby |
spent $4,000 to pass the Reed-Bul-
Wrinkle bill which permits railroads
to get together in fixing rates. The
lobby spent over Y133,OOO |
in it's successful campaign to defeat |
the Taft Ellender Wagner housing |
bill
The highest paid lobbyist in Wash |
ington is Purcell L. Smith, repre-
senting the National Association of
Electric companies. He gets $4,000 |
a year for doing what he can to keep |
your electric light bills as high as
possible. Smith helped kill the $4 |
million appropriation for new IVA
steam generator.
Cure Up To Voters
With the election two months off,
the Truman administration has sud-
denly decided to "crack down" on
lobbyists. Some cotton and grain
spectators have been indicted for
failing to register as lobbyists. The

wall against co-operatives, and sup
port the NTEA and its successor
organization, should take look at
the Wall Street Journal story.
The loans to Sears and to Food Fair
Supermarkets should have meaning to
them. Smaller, independent business
establishments are being driven to the
wall many, many times faster by chain
stores, as they begin to monopolize the
food and retail industries, than by CO.
operatives Yet the bosses of the
NTEA, the us. Chamber of Com
merce and other disbursements organ
izations never sound single note of
warning about this very real threat
to Main Street merchants. The Wall
Street Journal story indicates that
such chain store loans may be espec-
tally favored by the life Insurance
companies, since store buildings in
good locations are preferred as an in
vestment
Independent merchants may short
ly be finding their own life insur-
ance premiums being loaned to
chain operation to put them out of
businessI
The Wall Street Journal revelation
is nothing new to persons working in
The Farmers Union cooperative insur-
ance field.
Farmers Union assurances were
founded and developed as a means
of ending the necessity of farm peo-
pie turning their funds into insur-
ance treasures which would make
the funds useful to the very monop-
olists who are reaching for an eco
nomic strangIehold on agriculture
Monopolists are making pincer
against farmers.
