This cartoon is to call attention to the fact that some imperial practices ic ding are not so moral either, even by the standards of capitalist countries. The very break between the U. S. S.

A particular menace to the peace of the world is contained in the policy of the building up of a united Trade Union International. Demand Congress Nail Great Falts. WASHINGTON, June 19 (FP).— Benj.
