Speaks in Debate on Socialism LONDON, March 22,—The reform- ist policies of the leaders of the Bri- tish Labor Party were criticized by | Saklatvala, Communist, in the course of a debate on socialism in the House of Commons today. “Tt is entirely a mistaken notion to imagine for one moment that social- ism can be introduced alongside of patriotism,” he declared. “The La* bor Party wants people to think that socialism is going to come by press- ing some unknown button. It will only come by a socialist revolution and not humbug.” Before making her speech Lady Astor went to the treasury bench end hurriedly consulted Lord Curzon. While speaking to Curzon, she occu- pied Premier Baldwin’s seat.

The Allegheny Monongahela waterways take care of part of the Pittsburgh transport just as the Ruhr-Rhine water systems handle a share of the Ruhr trans- port. In Pittsburg, however, there are mountains. The Ruhr area is re- latively flat. At the center of the Pjtsburgh area is a towering, congested, rush- ing American city. The Ruhr in- dustries are scattered in Duisburg, Oberhausen, Essen, Dortmund. The roads in the Pitsburgh area are far superior. The German towns are cleaner; the houses are better built.

Police say they base their activ- ities upon the sup- position that Irish republican army men have stored arms and muni- tions in London or nearby towns awaiting an oppor- { tunity to shin them into the Irish Free State. The claim is that the smuggling of arms is preliminary to an attempt to reorganize the old Irish republican army, which carried on violent war- fare against the crown forces in Ire- land before the creation of the Irish Free State. | News of the discovery of the plot was communicated to the Irish Free | State government and it is understood that an investigation is under way to’ determine if plans are being made for a revolution against the Cosgrave regime.
