Gt BRITAIN is preparing for actual war with the Soviet Union. ‘The developments have gone beyond intrigue with border states, assassina- tion plots and attempts to foment civil war. In last Saturday’s issue of the Herald-Tribune, Harold E. Scarborough, that newspaper’s corre- spondent in London, has an article which gives in more or less detail the military preparations now being made by England for the war that is considered inevitable. * -_ * i is reported that Soviet troops are massing in- Turkestan but this British story is merely an excuse to increase the Indian army. When Lord Birkenhead, speaking house of lords\on March 30th last declared that the strength of the In-} , dian army must be measured in re- lation to wider contigencies he had in mind an attack on the U.S.S.R. And the former “Labor Peer” Vis-; count Haldane, suggested that a part of the home army be transferred to! India. f ! * * Fh | 'T is now stated that the Indian army will be placed under direct control | of the war office, a development making for greater imperial efficiency | and permitting the British govern-/ ment to switch this force to any, point where it considers the strategi-) cal requirements demand its presence. | The first move of the British in a) military sense is forecast for Spring.’ The British are expected to move from | Jraq and perhaps thru Persia. And’ it is said that France is watching the British movements with a sympa-) thetic eye.

Its de- struction would open up a vast field for unhampered capitalist exploita- tion and would be the signal for an attack on labor in all countries that, if successful, would reduce the work- ers to a condition of servitude never before experienced in the history of man.

AGAINST RUSSIA Dangers Worry Tory Bandits and Forgers CALCUTTA,.India, Aug. 14.—The British tory government is devoting a maximum of energy to building up a military force in India for the pvr- pose of endeavoring to strike at Rus- sia through Afghanistan and other | parts of the Near-East. It is pro- ceeding with great caution because this is one of its most vulnerable points and may prove fatal to the empire. The task it has mapped out for itself is to build up a mighty army under the domination of the 68,000 white troops in India. The standing army includes besides these troops 164,000 natives of India. Internal Difficulties. z Britain is faced with the problem of overcoming the strong objections to using the army of India outside the borders of the country. The force ‘is supported by the Indian govern- ment and the masses will object to the increased taxation necessary to create the sort of offensive foree that will be required for this sector of the conspiracy that is being hatthed against the Soviet Union. f Then therexis the further grave danger of arming a large percentage of the population which may, at a Entered as second-class ma't@r at NEW YORK, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1927 DEMONSTRATE FOR SACCO, VANZETTI the Post Office at New York.

(Special To The DAILY WORKER.) BOSTON, Aug. 14.—A large demonstration held on the Com- mon this afternoon to demand the immediate release of Sacco and Vanzetti was broken up when mounted police rode into a crowd of more than twelve thousand workers and dispersed the meeting. Powers Hapgood, young militant mine union leader, was placed under arrest charged with violating a city ordinance and Olsinio Careotta was severely beaten and placed under ar- \rest for “resisting an officer.” | Fearing a huge mass demonstration for the framed-up workers, Boston police informed the Socialist-Labor Party, under whose permit the meeting was to have been held, that no “radical” meetings could’be held on the Common today. The permits of the Workers (Communist) Party and of the socialist party had already been taken away. | As Powers Hapgood arose to teil the twelve thousand work- ers that the meeting had been banned by the police, Boston cos- sacks riding thru the massed workers rode up to the platform and arrested him. By three o'clock more than ten thousand workers had gath- ered in the Common to demonstrate for the immediate and un- conditional release of Sacco and Vanzetti. After the meeting had been dispersed by the cossacks, work- ers continued to pour into the Common where they formed small groups. They did not leave until after six. Hapgood was placed under $50 bail, while Careotta was placed under $206 bail. Both cases will come up in court tomor- row morning. : * * + With seven days of life left to Sacco and Vanzetti by their reprieve, organizations thruout the country are making plans for huge demonstrations to.snatch the two framed-up workers from the electric chair to which the Massachusetts oligarchy seems de- of the death of Sacco and Vanzetti.
