It is to last twelve days, from May 15th te 27th. The purpose is supposed to be a testing of aerial defense methods and procedure. The headquarters of the attacking aerial forces is at Pat- terson ‘Field, Ohio, while that of the “defense” is at Fort Knox, Ky., with the major portion of the men spread are of particular significance to us.

In this maneuver, however, there are thousands of men with a proportional amount of planes, equip- ment, etc., acting as a unit in a single section, and that in the interior of maneuvers. Army officials admit that they have been watching other countries to learn how they carried \! on aerial attack and defense.

Suppression of Communists, In a special meeting of the Greek Cabinet, Premier Tsaldaris stated that the persecution of the Communists had not yielded satisfactory results, Repressive measures against Commu- nist propaganda will have to be in- creased. Newspapers supporting the govern- ment declare that these measures will include the supression of all Com- munist newspapers, the prohibition of all Communist meetings, and the dis- solution of the red labor unions. Minister Pesmatzogli stated that no more strikes will be allowed, a perma- nent arbitration board being set up to settle all disputes between employ- ers and workers, Soon after this statement of the government 17 workers were sentenced to a total of 50 years in prison and exile, their crime consist- cist storm troops, organized on the German Nazi model. military uniforms and revolvers have been distributed among these bands.

With the international situation becoming more and more tense, its conflicts and animosities continually more sharp, and now on the verge of ex« ploding into actual warfare, with more unemployed, more ' wage-cuts, and more starvation and no actual relief by the Roosevelt administra- tion, but conditions growing worse through forced labor camps and in- flation—there is only one answer and that is war! And the preparation for this war, this annihilation of mil- lions of \workers, goes on with ine creasing haste. The war industties are the only ones going full blast. Under the mask of economy the army is “cut” to make it more efficient in war time, Under the mask of relief 250,000 young men—future cannon-fodder—' are put into camps, under army efe ficers, to receive training. And the schools and colleges are so productive that the Reserve Officers Training Corps, called by many leading army officials the backbone of national de- fense, turn out 40 thousand trained men annually, All of this and, more prove the close proximity of ‘war.
