The same class that has held a chattel mortga; st the people of England, France and other European nation even be- fore our entrance int® the war and for the protection h we en- tered into the conflict? for one of the first thin 1 home was the activities of the American Legion: in s in New York City. The Legion had become a strike breaking agency unless it had actually been organized for that purpose. About the time I was asked to join the Legion but I answered that I had not lowered myself to the point where I would willingly join a gang of strike breakers knowing that they were such. After that, of course, there was usually a lengthy discussion. It seems so, gs that came to my tion Labor Baiters. On one occasion the socialist party, Mt. Yernon Local, held a meet ing in one of the public halls. While I was on the sidewalk in front of the door three or four young men came along, one of whom I recognized as one of the “boys” who had enlisted but remained at home. He did not see me but noticed the placard in the doorway announcing the meet- ing and started off “what the hell right have that bunch to hold a meet- ing, we ought to stop it.” With that I walked over to him and said, “Hello Carl, why not come in and listen to what is said; you might learn something.” Very much surprised, he asked if I was there to support the meeting and when I answered yes my young friend was ll more surprised and walked away but would not go in. It was just a case where I knew him and his family and friends and, altho many of them were acquainted with my views and sentiments, few knew how close I was to such an “unpatriotic”? movement. That is why he was so sur- prised and walked away. On another occasion during a discussion with a Legion member and after voicing my opinion of the Legion, he said, “Well, they have a nice club room, nice dances and affairs and I get a magazine every month and it only costs a quarter a moth.” Is the Legion subsidized? Legion Would Fight French. More recently: the convention is a most popular topic among the membership and tbe expression used by those who anticipate going is what a heluver good time we'll have. Summed up that és the real reason for the convention—a good time-and, altho I do not deny any- body a good time, the French workers should know the real ,reason for the convention, They should also know that the American Legion is just a tool of the capitalist class in the United States and a willing one. That, if the capitalists here were to at any time insist upon col- lecting their “pound of flesh” in the form of interest, etc., on the debts owed them by France, the American Legion would be among the first to ally themselves with the capitalists; even to the point of declaring war on France. The French people and more particularly the French working class should look behind the camouflage of friendship professed by the Legion and see the monster of national “patriotism” and national prejudice which has been and still is gradually shaping itself into a prejudice and hatred against all who are unwilling to “kow-tow” to a crawl before the capitalisttclass of the United States. After they have logked behind the camouflage and seen, let them help us tear it away. When the monster is unmasked, should the French veterans, workers and peas- ants make the Legion Convention impossible in Paris? They know their strength better than I and, if they do, it will be just so much more won- derful than to have made it next to impossible for Marie, Queen of Roumania, to remain here jn comfort. This is from a VETERAN, who was “over there” eight months and knows what some of the battlefields look like, who has cleaned lots of mud off his clothes, who knows of and has seen the destruction wrought in the battle areas and has been thru villages entirely destroyed with- out a wall left standing.

This |is not surprising, granting that | Walker is praising the black-shirt lregime in order to stand in better with the Italian-American politicians in New York, at the same there is no \essential difference between the way Walker’s cossack police treat strikers in New York City and the conduct of |the Italian fascist militia under simi- lar circumstances. The difference be- tween the two regimes is chiefly on the surface. : Persons coming to a mass meet- ing at the native tribunal on Gold Coast, West Africa, were met by a squad ofspolice. These officers held unsheathed truncheons. They allowed few to enter. They told people the hall was full. The meeting was called to protest against the new constitu- tion and the newly organized provin- cial councils. The people’s ery is | “Save the native institutions.” The jmeeting dispersed early. Officers came late, and finding the hall empty, went to the chiefs’ houses and ar- rested them in their bedrooms. The commissioner of the district is A. F. Fieldgate. A notice written on a piece of rough dirty paper stated that further meetings were prohibited. * * * In a eampeign for more and better schools the colored people of Atlanta Ga., are publishing some fieures.
