About 170 such demonstrations have taken place recently, 12,000 con- scripted recruits taking part. In Znaim a young Communist was arrested outside the recruiting of- fice. This aroused the workers and the recruits, who assembled in front of the recruiting office, demanding his release. All Communists among the young recruits were arrested in Berehovo. The non-Communist recruits then marched to the recruiting office in protest. All the arrested recruits had to be freed as a result of this stormy demonstration.

Through its subsidiaries and direct- | ly, du Pont makes dynamite, smoke- | less powder, TNT, poison gas, and | other war materials, while Remington Arms turns out rifles, machine guns | and cartridges. During the World | War, it produced over 50 per cent of | all bullets and shells used by the ; American Army. | This establishes a giant vertical | munitions trust, with Du Pont mak- ing the explosives and its Remington subsidiary making the guns to use | them. The influence that this huge | war trust will exert in Washington for “preparedness” is apparent. In 1915, when Du Pont started mak- ing munitions for the Allied Powers. it distributed a 200 per cent stock div- | idend, in October, followed by an ad- ditional cash dividend of 30 per cent | in_ December. During 1916, Du Pont handed out | & total of 42 per cent in cash, plus |50 per cent in Anglo-French bonds, to its stockholders. | In March, 1917, and quarterly | Srereatter until March 1920, or well through the remainder of the World | dends annually. These profits were ground out of the bones of 10,000,000 soldiers kilied in | the World War, 3,000,000 soldiers mis- sing, and 13,000,000 dead civilians. Twenty more million soldiers were | wounded, millions of them crippled | for life. Three million starved in prisoner of war camps. Nine million children were made orphans, and 5,- 000,000 women widows, while 10,000,- 000 people were torn from their homes to live the life of refugees. But finance capital thinks the war was not in vain. Both the last war and the coming war mean untold millions of profits for the munitions makers.

The executive committee of the So- cialist Party answered ‘no’. Being a member of the yipsels, I know just how they feel about this whole question.
