It only “fixed” the right of the United Stdates to naval equality with Great Britain, which resulted in the building of more warships. The London Naval Conference in 1929, called again for the “limitation” of armaments, was a complete fiop from ments to stop cheating the masses with fake maneuvers and to undertake real disarmament. In December, 1927, the Soviet government submitted to the Preparatory Commission for the Disarmament Conference of the League of Nations a plan of disarm- ament. The plan provided for the dissolution of all armies, navies, and air fleets.

It rejected the offer of the Soviet Union for a pact of economic non- aggression. Why?

But the capitalists did not accept the offer of the drunk or be absent here! And with starvation According to the information of the League of Na- tio: which does not the full amount spent on armaments by the imperialist powers, we get the fol- lowing picture. The European capitalist powers spent on armaments annually after the late war 30% more money than they did before the war. This despite the fact that the victorious powers had forced the reduc- tion of armaments in Germany and in the other de- feated capitalist countries. Says Mr. P. Jacobson, a former official of the League of Nations “In order to bring the armaments of those coun- tries (the victors—A. B.) down to the level obtain- ing in 1908 there would have to be an average re- duction of approximately 30 per cent from the level of 1928.” Especially great was the increase in the expenditures on armaments in the United States. The Army and Navy Budget in 1925-1926 was $528,701,000; and $658,- 000,000 in 1928-1929. An increase of 24 per cent. In the first nine months of the fiscal year, 1931, expenditures for “national” defense in the United States amounted to the enormous sum of $2,124,737,000, or 70 per cent of the total expenditures of the Federal gov- ernment. Seventy cents of each dollar spent by the Hoover government went for war preparations and arme aments. It has been estimated that there are at present under arms in the capitalist countries, including active reserves, 30,000,000, or about 10,000,000 more than be- fore the “last” war. This is the product of capitalist peace talks, con- ferences and treaties. They talk peace and prepare war. And the more they talk peace, the more they prepare war. gro’ g and so was the opposition of the masses to imperialist war. Hence, a new maneuver by the League of Nations. A new Commission, called the Temporary Mixed Commission, was set up in 1921, which was later replaced by a “Coordination Committee.” This fake dragged on until September, 1925, when it become ob- vious to the whole world that it was a fake and a bluff. Consequently, the imperialists decided to wipe the slate and make a fresh start in the criminal game of talking peace and making war. The result was the setting up of the “Preparatory Commission for the Disarmament Conference,” which is the League’s disarmament fake existing: today. What is the sum total of all these capitalist “peace and disarmament” efforts? Larger armies and navies, an intensified naval race between American and Eng- land, France and Italy, a trernendous growth of war air flects and poison gas weapons, an enormous swell- ing of military and war expenditu the sharpest rival- ries and economic warfare between the imperialist powers, the imminence of a new world imperialist war, with the menace of military intervention against the Soviet Union being the greatest and nearest menace. ‘The Soviet Union is the Greatest Factor for World Peace The Soviet Union is the greatest factor making for world peace today. The other factors are the growing determination of the exploited masses to fight im- perialist war with revolutionary means and the leader- ship of the Communist Intrnational in the struggle. The Soviet Union is following persistently a policy of peace. While standing ready to defend itself, with the active support of the toiling masses all over the world, from the attacks of the capitalists, the Soviet Union has repeatedly challenged the capitalist gavern- It is highly significant that the two imperialist powers, which are preparing for war most intensively, the United States and France, have turned out to be the main champions of the imperialist pact to outlaw and renounce war as an instrument of policy. The Kel- logg Peace Pact is a Kellog-Briand pact, the joint product of the “peace” efforts of America and France. This “peace” pact fits in very nicely, with the war plans of these powers as cover and screen for their war preparations. ‘The imperialist powers are trying to find a way out of the crisis by new wars and especially military inter- vention against the Soviet Union. Preparatory to mil- itary intervention, the imperialists are organizing and carrying on economic war against the Soviet Union. This they are doing by urging the boycot of Soviet goods and the stoppage of the import of machinery into the Soviet Union to disrupt the Five-Year Plan of Socialist Con- struction. The Hoover government is playing a leading role in this preparation for military intervention. Soviet “dumping” and similar lies are supposed to be the basis for the economic war against the Soviet Union. The Soviet government sucuceeded in explod- ing this lie also, and very effectively. At the recent Conference of the European Union Commission of the League of Nations, held in Geneva, comrade Litvinov, representing the Soviet Union, proposed “the complete cessation of all forms of economic aggression.” He had challenged the capitalist powers to sign with the Soviet Union a protocol by which: the parties undertake not to adopt in their relations with each other any discrimination whatsoever and regard the adoption in any of their countries of a special attitude militating against the interests of Soviet Union. The most militant opponent of this offer was the delegate from the United States, who declared that the U. S. will not join in any international wheat pool whatever. Thus become revealed the contrasts between the peace policy of the Soviet Union and the war policy of the capitalist states. Thus it becomes more evident that the capitalist governments, led by the United States, are rushing headlong into the preparations for military intervention in the Soviet Union. To hide from the masses the very acute state of imperialist rivalries, the imminence of new imperialist war, and in the first instance the preparations for mil- itary intervention in the Soviet Union, the imperialist powers are preparing for another disarmament confer- ence, scheduled to take place in 1932. ‘Whether it will actuaully take place, or not, is not so material for the war-makers and interventionists. The important thing for them is to be able to tell the masses in their respective countries that the govern- ments are working for peace and disarmament. The servants of British imperialism, the British “Labor” government, is already trying to “capitalize” the coming “disarmament” conference to check its weakening in- fluence among the masses. Hoover, too, points to this Conference as proof of the efforts of his government for “peace.” Meanwhile, they are increasing armaments and preparing military intervention against the Soviet Union. » That is why the August First anti-war demonstra- tions called by the Communist Party must be made into powerful mass protests against military intervention and for the defense of the Soviet Union. among the millions of jobless, any worker in America who leaves his job faces starvation, and these millions have been FORCED to leave their jobs. Their fellow workers have not approved, as in the Soviet Union they do of the measures dise ciplining the erring individual among them— the mass. On the contrary, here in America great factories employing tens of thousands are closed, and these workers, the mass, are thrown into starvation at the order of the approval of the man—the bogs or “the management,” the private owner or owners for which industry is run and to whom it “belongs.” In the USSR, industry belong to the workers, and it is their discipline which is enforced, their initiative which is building it up under the Five Year Plan. & Which would you defend, workers, the capi- talist dictatorship of the workers’ dictatorship?

A grim-faced Texas prison agent who broke his taciturnity only to exclaim, ‘In Texas we don’t fool’ snapped two heavy pad- Jocks on the door that had closed on Ike. “Ike was a little bewildered. He had just fin- ished thirty days in the House of Correction for petit larceny. Buta prison cell compared to his new quarters had all the expansiveness of the great outdoors.

Kerr, president of the American Thread Co. against which McMahon still has a strike declared “on” although it be- gan in March, 1925, against a 10% cut in wages of 2,500 workers at Willimatic, Conn. Their wages before the cut averaged $15 a week. One of the “labor” men, Peter J. Brady, is a frequent orator at Tammany banquets and a close personal friend of Trubee Davison, son of a Morgan partner and Secretary of War for Aviation. Possibly because of his interest in military aviation, Brady has been made head of the Civil Federation’s “Committee on Russian Affairs” which recently released a statement from a group of Russian socialists and White Guards demanding that the “Citizens of Free America” should not “mistake the Communist power for the true Russian government.” The Civic Federation once supported the Kolchak government in Russia, but since the Red Army drove out the unhappy Admiral from Siberia it has turned its affections to Grand Duke Cyril and other claimants to the throne, most of them now residents in Paris or the Riviera. | Still another “labor representative” on the committee is Ellis Searles, who now appears on the letterhead as the Secretary of the Civic Federation. Although an ancient clause in the constitution of the United Mine Workers pro- hibits membership in the Federation, Searles, counting himself neither a member nor an of- ficial of the U. M. W., sits on the N. C. F. in the name of labor. One of the most prominent members of the committee is another angel of the Civic Feder- | ation, Mrs. Henry P. Loomis, society leader of Tuxedo Park, N. Y., and sister-in-law of Secret- ary of State Stimson. A year ago she was ex- posed by a New York newspaper as a heavy contributor to Russian monarchist agents. John L. Spivak, prominent newspaperman, in a, writ- ten statement presented to the Fish Commit- tee—but which the latter purposely suppressed —stated that Mrs. Loomis had been contributing money to Russian monarchists in this country “and that among her proteges was the secret Russian monarchist agent, George Djamgaroff.” Later Spivak learned at the State Department that Mr. Stimson knew that Mrs. Loomis “was giving money to the Russian monarchists, of Committee would not accept them as “genuine.” bs But Whalen was meantime rewarded for his | he Battle ot W ildwood public service by being appointed chief snooper on Red movements for the Woll-Easley crowd. —_—; By TOM MYERSCOUGH (N.M.U.

The same goes for those who “prayed” for it on behalf of the Butler Consolidated Coal Co., the judge that issued it in answer to that “prayer,” the sheriff that accepted this boss weapon with which all thought the strike could be broken and the lousy degenerate criminals, “yellow dogs,” whose guns took one life and wounded twelve others.

This happened immediately after the march began. At the sound of the shots everybody started for the spot whence the sound came and the battle was on. (Investigation reveals that Reel’s criminal instinct first showed itself in 1911.) Being among the first group to reach the spot, I approached this gunman (Reel) and demanded to know why he fired the shots and why he picked an elderly woman to shoot at and soon learned that the lousy skunk possessed no scruples when it came to shooting. Oh yes, with language that is unprintable, Reel commanded that I “Get around” and pointed his riot gun at that part of my anatomy where my breakfast would have rested (if I'd ‘a had any) and pulled the trigger, but the gun didn’t go off.

That the wholesale deportations policy of the Hoover Administration is influenced by the Na- tional Civic Federation is seen in the recent elec- tion of W. N. Doak, Secretary of Labor, to the post of Honorary Vice-President. The desire of the Woll body to deport every alien workers is, under Doak, being carried out by the Hoover Administration with more than the accustomed ruthlessness. Doak doubtless consulted Hoover before he allowed his name to decorate the letterhead of the Civic Federation, which has always refused to permit its books to be ex- amined by the Natiomal Information Bureau, an agency for advising prospective contributors about the trustworthiness of organizations mak- ing public appeals for funds. “Join the nation-wide protest against the im- perialist war which is being prepared against the Soviet Union.

In her recent book Labor and Lum- ber, Charlotte Todes says Weyerhaeuser “has never tolerated union organization and has al- ways maintained a system of espionage to pre- vent attempts by the workers to organize for better working conditions.” Weyerhaeuser’s af- filiations are carefully concealed, financial re- ports are not published and every attempt at Federal investigation to reveal its profits have been successfully resisted. Another significant appointment to the Woll anti-Soviet committee is Wilson Compton of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. The wail raised about “forced labor” in Soviet | Jumber camps, initiated by the Woll-Easley fed- eration may also reflect the substantial contrib- ution of its chief financial angel, Mrs. Finley J.

Those who have wondered who has been supplying Woll with his torrent of statements on sundry public questions, might investigate the devoted research activities of Mrs. Shepard She is reported to have prepared in her man- sion at 579 Fifth Avenue the material for many a Woll speech, specifically the one he delivered at the Carnegie Hall meeting of anti-Commun- ist societies arranged by the monarchist agent George Djamgaroff, January 9, 1931.
