The American renegades from Communism (Lovestone), who for |long paraded under the banner of {Comrade Bukharin, had curiously enough developed a theory on the jtariff which Bukharin had com- pletely smashed in 1915. Accord- ing to Lovestone the tariff policy of American imperialism is one of “the lowest possible tariffs,” while the protectionist policy is merely a hang-over from the pre-imperialist lepoch which is rapidly being liqui- iff was only an instrument of a young capitalism, but with the emergence of giant monopolies this policy must be transformed into one of “free trade” as the best means of conquering the markets of the world and collecting its bills. Pointing out that the United States, “that cassical country of trusts and of the modern tariff pol- icy,” gives the clearest example, Bukharin shows the inevitable close connection between imperialism and high tariff. Establishing this as the general tendency of imperialism, Bukharin concludes that “the very structure of modern capitalism gives birth to this form of economic policy; to- gether with that structure it comes jinto being, and together with it it will fall.” The Question of “Organized Capitalism.” The reference to the tariff as a means to “eliminate competition” in the home market raises the ques- tion, to what extent did Bukharin hold those views in 1915, which fourteen years later ripened into Workers’ Soccer News. The Metropolitan Workers’ Soccer League is offering one of the finest soccer menues ever served in New York.

The bourgeoisie has forgotten — or perhaps they remember too well the spirit of revolt prevalent among the soldiers who returned from France in 1919 and 1920. How then every soldier cursed the army, the war and everything connected with it. Feared Ex-Servicemen. At the close of the war the bour- seoisie, fearing this wide-spread discontent, and the consequences should the veterans ever unite, split them into numerous societies, in- stead of one great mass organiza- tion, after the age-old tactic of tting the enemy and pitting him against himself. The American Legion proved the most docile and bourgeois of these organizations and was used for the first attacks on the working class as in the Centralia massacre, but always under the sham of impartial support of law and order. The last few years, however, have seen an element of workers drawn into the American Legion by the huge membership drives, and these workers created somewhat of a proletarian strata among the de- repit lieutenants and officers that nad comprised its membership. This working cli element proved reluctant to join the Czar- ist-fascist May Day march which Major Curtis hoped to be a murder march. | The American Legion is the only | veterans’ organization which can \claim to have anything like a mass | | following. Out of the 5,000,000 of | men drafted into the last war, only an approximate million are organ- ized and the American Legion claims 750,000 of these.

C, Bragilinn F, 'OGETHER with the reconstruction of indus- trial life in the Soviet Union is being laid a new industrial base, both in town and coun- try. The growth of vast factories—Magni- torsk, Stalingrad, Dnieper Combine, ete.—en- tails the construction of new housing over a wide area. Indeed, many of these industrial centers are, at the same time, the centers of entire new towns—with schools, hospitals, libraries, boarding houses, children’s homes, clubs, sport grounds, etc. In the countryside collectivization is gain- ing grou’, daily, hourly. This leads to the concentration of great masses of the popula- tion around these gigantic grain “factories,” so that in time the once small village which had hitherto served the needs of petty indi- vidual farming must, in its turn, become a large-scale country town. 3 Municipal housing is already a great branch of the national economy. Over a billion rou- bles will be spent on it in the present year (1930), and for the period covering the Five Year Plan (until 1932-1988) anything from eight to twenty billion roubles (the exact sum cannot be determined as it varies with the Control Figures for each year) will be thus expended. The question of how these vast sums will be outlayed is occupying the atten- tion of a number of social, organizations, like trade unions, women’s organizations, housing cooperatives, municipal organs, ete. even school children are being given their say in the matter. And nobody knows better than they what tenement houses should contain in the way of playgrounds, play-rooms, gymna- siums, nurseries. ete. The construction of these houses is being life, Lectures are being arranged dealing with the new type of house and the future aspect of family and home life. The new education of children, the problem of individual or com- munal house-keeping, are other topics that are receiving much discussion and attention. It is firmly agreed by all that the new houses will have to be entirely different from those of the present day. The New House will have to serve not the individual but the Collective. It has been established that the preparation of food, even in the far from per- fect public kitchens that now exist, takes one- sixth of the time as that spent by individual house-wives. A similar enormous waste of time and energy goes on in other branches of individual house-keeping, care of children, laundry, etc. The great problem that the builders of the New House are engaged in is how to organize-life so as to avoid this unpro- ductive labor. The education of children also will assume different aspects in a few years hence. Some | authorities consider that children ought to live in so-called “hygienic children’s towns,” of course, under the observation of their parents. Together with. these, special “school towns” would be built for the elder children. Numerous plans and projects are being sub- mitted to the central authorities. The main lines laid down in the construction of the new towns are that they must consist neither of | sky-serapers nor cottages. “It is unhealthy for people to live in close proximity, in a com- | paratively small territory. While, on the other hand, cottages are uneconomic, especial- ly from the point of view of their utility sery- ice: heating, supplies, ete,” 000 people and must lie around the industrial enterprises. Similarly, agricultural towns will be built around the large state and collective The existing s; m of large towns it is thought, decentralize in the near fu- ture, beginning with Moscow, around which it is planned to build a number of small towns. As I have already pointed out there will be no giant structures in the new towns. Soviet architects are of the opinion that with the present rate of progress of building technique it would be ridiculous to put up skyscrapers, at enormous expense, which would have to be pulled down again after a few years. The “New Town” will be little distinguished from the “New Village.” All housing will be built on a cooperative basis and, therefore, externally, both industrial an] agrarian towns will be much alike. It is thought the best houses will be of the large block type—con- taining from one to two thousand persons. list slums. the ragtag of imp tion marks the y 1st—the amal- different fascist societies to carry out the threat of Major Curtis when he announced that the fascisti would demonstrate st the workers again next May onor of Admiral Dewey.
