S. and Britain Split Over China”—DAILY WORKER, This reminds us of the fable about the lion and the wolf, Once upon a time a lion and a wolf went a-hunt- ing. Suddenly they came upon a lamb. With one blow of his paw the lion killed the poor little lamb. Said the lion to the wolf, “I killed this lamb and I’m going to eat it.” Said the wolf, “No, you don’t.” Aiid so they both began to fight. While they were fighting, a fox came along and took the lamb away. Of course you can see that the lion and the wolf are the United States and the British governments, the lamb is the wealthy land of China while the fox stands for the Chinese people. OUR LETTER BOX IN SCHOOL. Dear Comrades: I am going te write a few things about my school. They weighed a boy in school and found he only weighed fifty-four pounds. They also eighed my sister. Then sent the boy to a fresh air school and they said if my sister doesn’t eat more and drink more milk she will have to go too. But how in the world could my sister eat more and drink more milk if the bosses CUT our fathers’ wages. My father was sick for eleven weeks, he cannot werk and doesn’t get any money. You workers should not let your children go to a fresh air school, but you should FIGHT against those rotten old bosses for more money so that you could buy more food for your *children—-HELEN KERTESZ. WAR AND FASCISTI By ANNA VALATKA I now recall in my mind the past days of: 1916. At that time I was but a small child, but now I do my: best in reading and writing, and so I want to tell the readers the why of the world war and fascism. We had in 1914 all throughout Europe, and es- pecially Germany and France, the working elaes or- ganized in strong unions, that kept the capitalist ruing class on the balance. The industries weren't Very prosperous for the ruling class, on account of the workers being ‘well organized. So what hap- pened? The capitalists found themselves in very serious conditions. On one side the over production, and,no commerce, on the other side, the workers asked for more bread. So the capitalists had to find some way to get out of those conditions. July 29th, 1914 the spark of war had to explode. The capi- talists’ excuse for a war was the murder of Prince Fredinand in Serajevo, Serbia. Two days later the Austrian army was marching to a war on the Ser- bian border. On the other side we found Germay and Frarce disputing the conquest of the world market. So it was a good excuse for those nations to join tho conflict. Germany joined the Austrian force 2»d France the Serbian forces. The rest of the Fries pean countries were watching closely the miovs ©” the nation at war. Serbia was losing ground. {0 Eagland found the proper moment to come is thir help. So did Czarist Russia and the other Evrene- nations, and dragged with them the rest of °)> world. In the war that lasted four years, mm!’ of workers fost their lives, millions were erin’ and the rest of the workers that were in the : ~ found themselves without jobs. Many of them w also persecuted by the fascist terror that swept #!i over Eurone after the war. We find but one country where the workers and farmers break the chains of slavery. That country new is called Soviet Russia, and it is well loved by the workers of the world. But not 40 by the capi- talist ruling class, that tries to overthrow that gov- ernment. We find the rest of the world a ruling elass that keeps itself in power, with fascism and white terror. I'll invite the workers of alt races, believing in fighting against war and fascism (that means hun- ger and starvation for the working class) to sup. port with all their power Soviet Russia.

Don't forget to look for the section next week in the paper even if there is no magazine, (Continued) Little Benjamin lived thru many sad days. His father was so unhappy that he no longer wanted te work, and many evenings he would return home with his back all bloody. Instead of the caressing and joy te which Benjamin was accustomed there was an unaccustomed silence in the house. Tom sat sadly on the ground, sometimes stroking sadly the wooly head of his little sen, but never speak- ing. Only once in a while he would ery out, “Han- nah!” and sigh deeply,, while great tears rolled down. his black face. And sometimes he would clench his fist, looking so angry that Benjamin took the little dog and crawled into a corner with him. The overseer was always unsatisfied with Tom, he complained to the master of the laziness and obstinacy of the slave. Had poor Tom known the results of his disobedience, he would have worked as industriously as he used to, in spite of his anger and unhappiness. The rich man celebrated his birthday. There was a great feast, chickens and calves and lambs were roasted, rich foods could be smelled all thru the house, the servants brought countless bottles from the wine-cellar, After supper the young guosts (To Be Continued.) ay)
