ROYAL MISSION BETS A VARIED VIEW OF U.S, Impressed by “Paternal Spirit” By C. McKAY, Federated Press. MONTREAL — (FP)-~The British | royal mission to inquire into American industrial success likes to, gossip, but. only if direct quotations are not made in the press, Coming to Montreal, one member, alluded to as very important, said the ret they were searching for is prob- ably not to be found, but that Ameri- can capitalism will before long be suffering the same as the British now. A lot of Americans are not as well off as the golden stories of high wages and prosperity indicate, said another member. While wage rates are high, deductions for time lost through sick- ass oF unemployment bring down the general average. In England workers are paid, often in full, when ill, and also receive something when unem- ployed. In one big U. S. corporation which. boasts of high wages there thwart the efforts of the courts and police to railro m to prison as a ishment for their activities in the Organized labor must come to The workers every- where must rally to their aid. nd their polic The boss have manufactured another Mooney ¢ but on a Organized labor must smash this frame-up in the bud, by to Passaic for defense of these mn The address of the se el mmittee is 7 Main avenue, Passaic, N.

He took the stand upon completion of examination of Major Percy Owen, former prohibition director, co-defend- ant.

Another member of the mission ob- served on the contrary: “Employers in the U. S. and Canada know their men and realize they are not simply cogs in the wheel. They mix with the en without weakening discipline. hey knaw their workers’ problems and take a human interest in them. They find this is good business on their part.” This discovery that the noble pater- nal spirit of the old family firm had been preserved in giant corporations and adapted to the conditions of mass production greatly impressed some members of the mission as a notable example of American ingenuity. Another member said! “Over here employers and employes mix and dis- cuss their problems. In England they meet, true, but with employers on one side of the table and the empToy- es on tHe other side, a situation which does not make for comfort.” And with this observation, delivered with the air of imparting a profound secret, the missioner continued his study of the scenery from the deck of the harbor commissioner’s yacht. “In America employers do not com- mand discipline, they act so as to de- serve it,” said another of premier Baldwin’s pilgrims. One thing the pilgrims seemed to agree on was that public men whe talk about the decline of Britain ought to be muzzled.

Thrace. The radical republicans under M. Papanastassiou, who came out just a Gen. Condylis, Greek Premier. few weeks before the election day with a farmer-labor program, succeeded in taking away from the Communist ticket some seats. But their showing was very poor, considering that M. Papanastassiou was the leader of the republican forces, and that his party, the republican union, was the framer of the new constitution two years ago. Communists Stronger. The total vote cast for M. Papanas- tassion’s party gives it about 8 to 10 seats, mostly at large, while the Com: munists have gained ten seats: 4 in Saloniki, 2 in Larissa, 1 {n Kavalla, 2 in Florina, 1 in Xanthi, and expect to have at least five more in the final count.

However, the results; indicate that over 5 per cent of the total vote was cast for the Communist ticket, in spite of the fact that the Communist Party was illegal up to the Kondylis coup d'etat two and a half years ago, and all its leaders were either in prison or in exile. The composition of the new parlia- ment will be approximately as fol- lows: United liberal parties (repub- licans), 140; farmer-laborites (repub- licans), 10; liberal royalists (mon- archists co-operating with the repub- Heans), 50; popular party (mon- archists), 60; Communists, 15, and 10 independents, 12 of 13 Columbus Prisoners Back in Cells After Escape COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 11.—With 12 of the 13 prisoners who shot and clubbed their way outside the gates of the Ohio state prison yesterday afternoon safely back behind» the walls of the institution today, and a state-wide hunt on for the missing convict, several investigations of the prison break were in preparation, Crowded condition of the prison, together with a violation of the rules, which forbid the opening of both in- side gates simultaneously, was blamed today by Warden P.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. RMISTICE DAY is a time for delivering fake sermons on “Peace,” while at the same time beating up hysteria in preparation for the next war. It may seem that this is a difficult contradictiqn to impose successfully upon the people. Nevertheless, it is done. President Cal Coolidge did it again yesterday at Kansas City, Mo., where he de- dicated a “memorial” to war, on the eighth anniversary of the signing @f the armistice on November 11, 1918. eee It is an armistice indeed, an ad- mission that the last war was not “the war to end all wars.” An.arm- istice is a time for speedy recupera- tion and careful preparation for the next bloody encounter. That is thee period thru which we are now pass- ing. The next war will end all wars only if the masses who suffer will unite to end the capitalist system that breeds fratricidal struggles as an inevitable accompaniment of its conflicting imperialist ambitions. es Q8 No kaiser, on throne or horseback, ever boasted more vehemently of * the militarism at his beck and call, than Cal Coolidge, commander-in- chief of the American forces of war, —sea, land and air—bragged of the armed mighf of Wall Street in his speech at Kansas City. ‘Coolidge painted the glory pie- ture of war preparations. Four bil- lions of dollars appropriated during the last six years. “There is no bet- ter navy than our own in the world.” The army is “not outmatched by any other of like number of troops.” The entire military and naval forces represent a strength “altogether the largest we have ever maintained in time of peace.” Coolidge acclaimed the five-year program for improving the aviation service declaring, “It is a mistake to suppose that our country is lagging behind in this modern art.” So far as the air pro- gram is concerned, Coolidge issued this defi to the. rest of the capitalist world: ¢ “Both in the excellence and speed of its planes it holds high records, while in number of miles covered in commercial and postal aviation it exceeds that of any other country.” Thus the United States of Amer- ica prepares against the day when the capitalist armisti¢e will be bro- ken, the dogs of war again unleash- ed and the world again turned into a welter of human blood and agony, for the glory of profits. * are It was hardly a coincidence that, at the same moment that Coolidge started his speech at Kansag City, while guns were booming and whistles shrieking over the land, that there should arrive in The DAILY WORKER editorial office an additional installment of the flood of publicity that comes from the United States Army Information Service at 39 Whitehall Street, New ‘York City, (Release No, 910, Series of 1926), This publicity told of the rapid development of the “young science of shooting down airplanes.” This new fire-control system was given an official tryout recently at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with what the war depart- ment called “highly satisfactory re- sults.” It is declared that by means of this latest apparatus “a stream of high explosive shells, fired at the rate of 27 per minute, may be pro- jected in such a manner as to ex- Harvard-Princeton si Row Over Football, Make ‘Dirty Cracks’ CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 11.—With the Harvard Lampoon claiming that the undergraduate body favors an athletic break with Princeton, with Tiger was “out to get’ the football battle last Saturday, and with the Dally Princetonian replying that the attacks were “pure: insults,” the Big Three athletic war seemed to be revived today. Athletic relations between the two ancient rivals have been more or less strained since a movement was launched here to drop Princeton on the football schedule in favor of Mich- igan, but the plan was punctured by “Bill” Bingham, Crimgon athletic di- rector. If'the college#paper editorials are to be taken seriously, apparently the breach was far from healed by Bingham’s action, Queried today about the situation, Bingham said: * athletic direc! cannot be held responsible for edito- rials expressed in undergraduate pub- lications,” DENVER — (FP) — Colorado is as- sured of 2 years of industrial peace by the election of Wm. H. Adams to the governorship, declares the Colorado Labor Advocate. The defeated candt- date was @ former governor responsi+ ble for the lawlessness of. the constabulary known as the Plane.” Thus American militarism carefully and deliberately plans for the next war “in the air.” To be sure, at the same time the belief must be spread that there will be no war, that American im- perialism struggles for peace. Coo- lidge propagated this lie, as best he coyld, at Kansas City. Here is what he said with a straight face and the best show of sincerity that his or- thodox New England conscience could muster: “Our country... cherishes no im- perialist designs, it is not infatuated with any vision of empire,” declared Coolidge. “It is content with its own territory, to prosper thru the de- velopment of its own resources,” The actual history of the develop- ment of American imperialism, espe- during the last 30 years, effectively ties the indictment of perjurer to this fraudulent Coolidge utterance. he ee In the Pacific the United States has the Hawaiian Islands where it strengthens continually this mid- ocean fortress looking toward the Orient. The Spanish-American war dropped Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines into the lap of American greed, Millions of Filipinos today raise their fists in reply to Coolldge’s statement that the United States “cherishes no imperialist designs.” ¢ But. the United States does not possess alone the “vision of empire” that sees only new lands added to its domains. It sees the world also financially subjugated to its rule. Four billions of indebtedness impos- ed upon the peoples of South Amer- ica is but the beginning. Wall Street has supplanted “Lombard Streef, London” as the money-lender of the world and is proud of it. There is only this difference, that Wall Street proves the greater usurer and thus “Uncle Shylock” breeds enemies on every hand, against whom he will heave great need for his military machine, | 4. 96 It is estimated that American financé capitalism will this year lend more than a thousand millions of dollars in gold to foreign borrowers, In the three years just past, starting five years after the ending of the world war, the internattonal bankers of this country with “visions of em- pire” lent Europe four thousand millions of dollars. How will they collect the interest ranging from 13 per cent the first year to seven and eight per cent annually later on? How will they safeguard not to men- tion the collection of the principle? Only thru the use of the military machine—water, air, land—continu- ally maintained as a _ collecting agency. The wer drums beat on Armistice Day, heralding the pre- parations for the next slaughter. The imperialists prepare to defend their own, * * * Yet Armistice Day should sound the tocsin of preparedness for the toiling millions as well, Labor thru preparedness must build its own strength to take over rail power. In Place of the anniversary called “Arm- istice Day,” American workers must prepare for their victory that will: abolish profit rule and thru co-opera- tion with the workers of othér coun- tries usher in the Communist So- ciety that alone can bring universal peace thruout the world.
