Comrade- Delegates, Workers of France!
The Russian proletariat is already three years
at the advanced post; its sends battaons after
battaons to all the fronts to struggle against the
international oppressors. The proletariat sends
them because it wants to consolidate its conquests,
because it knows how many hundreds Of thousands

Lend a Dollar to the Revolution.

Lend Dollar to the Revolution.
A dollar invested in literature will quickly come
back to you when offered to workers. Besides in
forming yourself better, you can become the means
of teaching many others each month by the simple
method of ordering a dollars worth of pamphlets
and selling them.
The Toiler publishes and sells the best of the ;
literature Of the revolutionary movment. This is
the literature we should get workers to read. We
do not sell trash which misleads the workers We
are not in business for profit.
We want every reader of The Toiler who reaz-
es the needs of the workers to get busy on this.
Order dollars worth of our literature. Then sell
it to your acquaintances Then re-nvest the dollar
in more literature Follow this method during 1921.
You will find that long before the year is ended
that your work is counting for somthing. Look
over the list on page 15 Pick out some titles and
send us dollar for them.
Start the New Year with revolutionary spirit.
Do THIS during 1921.

betrayed the workers on national scope and after
wards have created among them an International
Federation to menace and to betray the interests
of the working class on an international scale
The New Industrial International
This is why against the International of Amster-
dam has risen the International Council of Revo-
lutionary Unions, which puts before the organized
workers of all countries the question of social re-
volution and of the Dictatorship of the Prole-
tarat The working class cannot have faith in those
who dance around the League of Nations, the or
ganizer of pilIages, because the men who have ere
ated together with the expoiters the International
Bureau of Labor are the most terrible enemies Of
the workingclass.
The Russian Revolution and the Russian Pro-
'letariat expect nothing from them, because they
are on the other side of the barricade.
But you, workers of France, will you allow Soviet
Russia to be crushed as was Soviet Hungary? Will
you allow that hundreds of thousands of Russian
proletarians fall victims 10 the unclaimed reaction?

Get on the job with literature.

1t is absolutely necessary during 1921 that each
and every socialist and radical dispose of the ltera
ture of the Left economic and political movements
of the workers, we must educate them, we must
get them to read our literature-NOW when they
are willing and anxious to do so. The opportunity
we have been hoping for is HERE NOW Let us
make the most of it, let us get on the job. Let us
do our DUTY by the workers NOW.
If you know what the Class Struggle means, you
must teach others. The best way is to keep supply
of literature on hand. When you meet worker
invite him to read it, sell it to him. Take litera-
ture to every union meeting Offer it for SALE Take
it to your shop and sell it to the workers there.
Always keep some literature ready for sale to
others. Do not allow worker to remain ignorant

Conversion Of
W arships Into
Liners Simple
Powell Says Battle Cruis-
ers Can Be Made Over
for Passenger Service
by Dropping Armament
Would Be Fastest Ahoat
Impossible to Change Them
Back Into Fighting Craft,
However, He Explains

From The Trtbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Conversion
of the six American battle cruisers
listed for scrapping in the American
armament program into transatlantic
passenger liners faster than any now
IN service was declared to be prac-
ticable and desirable to-day by Joseph
W. Powell, president and general man
ager OF the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tlon. MIR. Powell has Just COM
pleted careful inspection of
the United States ship Lexington,
now under construction at the
Fore River yard of the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation. His ex-
animation convinced him also that the
vessel, once converted into a CONNER
cial ship, could not be changed into
warship without almost total rebuild
ing.
The six American battle cruisers
now under construction include the fol-
lowing: Lexington, at Fore River Yard,
26.9 per cent completed; Constellation,
at Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
dock yard, 15.5 per cent completed; Sara
toga, at New York Shipbuilding Ger
poration yard, 29.4 per cent COM
pleted; Ranger, at Newport Shipbuild-
ing and Drydock yard, % per cent
completed; Constitution, Philadelphia
Navy Yard. lit per cent completed;
United States, Philadelphia Navy Yard,
ILL per cent completed.
Armament the Only Loss
at is entirely practicable and de-
sirable to build our battle-cr ruisers over
into highspeed passenger liners" Mr..
Powell said. "It would not be a great
task. and it would be far more eco
nomical to convert them into CONNER
cial vessels than to complete them as
warships. The only thing scrapped
about the vessels would be the heavy
armor and the armament, for we could
use all the other materials in the pas
senger liners.
1T would be necessary to remove
the blister protection on the sides and
take off the arnor shelf and build it
up to the third deck, on top of which
could be constructed the floating hotel.
and you would have one of the finest
passenger liners on the seas.
These cruisers are $50 feet long
and of ample width. The massive boil
ers could be carried and all the ma
chinery utilized. They are electrically
driven and oil burners, and provision
could be made in them for 900 first
class, 1000 second class and 1000
steerage passengers"
Spoiled for Original Purpose
Once convert them into passenger
ships he said, you could never recon
vert these ships into battle cruisers,
because you take off the torpedo protec-
tion and the armor shelf, so the vessel
could not be armored without practi-
cally rebuilding it. All the big gun pro-
lection is stripped off, and as there are
no turrct bases, armament coud not be
put back on without difficulty 1t wou ID
be far cheaper to build a new battle
cruiser than attempt to change the pas
senger ships back to cruisers"
Mr.. Powell said that the converted
battle cruiser would be new type OF
transatlantic liner which would give
the United States fleet the one ada
tion that it needed to compete properly
with ships under foreign flags The

One of the agreements which Presi-

it is pointed out, can be used very
effectively by the Japanese at home It
will be the first time that any official
act of the United States has ever ap-
proved the ownership by the Japanese
of the very important and large island
of Taiwan, for instance. AS to the
actual fact of Japanese control there
has, of course, been no doubt for years,
but this country has never recognized
and such recognition, it is said. can
probably be used effectively in quieting
the pride Of the Japanese people.
Also the United States, never having
approved the Versailles Treaty. and
being one Of the five principal Allied
and Associated powers, might have a
possible attack on the mandate award
ed Japan over the Marshall and Caro-
line islands. This same agreement will
recognize the japanese mandate over
those islands.
AS to Yap. which is one Of these, it

american world partnership. And
Europe feels that it has failed. that il
will take back nothing which even re-
metely resembles an American pledge
Of assistance.
Recognizing this fact, Europe has al
ready, in reality, gone home. Italy has
accepted defeat: only the British are
still keeping the field. and Britain is,
after all, an Asiatic power. which ex-
plains her interest in the surviving
agenda. Yet, If the truth were told, the
British disappointment is the greatest.
because British hopes were highest and
British needs greatest. In any event,
while the conference has gone under
ground and its operation becomes the
matter OF rumor and the basis for spec
uiatSon, no one can mistake the fact
that the spectcr of Europesn collapse
grows more and more compelling.
Any one who remembers the Paris
situation when Bella Kun came to Buda-
pest can fairly we'll appreciate the emo
tions in Washington at the present
hour. Then we were asked to recognize
that the agreement on the covenant OF
the League of Nations ovcrbalanced all
temporary ills; now we are asked to be-
lieve that agreement upon the principle
OF naval holiday has similar value.
But now, as then, the noise outside the
hall proves disconcerting.

War, Edison SAYS
Would Make U. S. Feared
by All; Inspection
Ended, Motor King Ready
for Battle With Congress
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

oSe"soS DlSPutCB 10 IHc tribune
FLORENCE, Ala, Dec 5.-Thomas A.
Edison's trip with Henry Ford to in
spect Muscle Shoals has thoroughly
convinced him of the vital necessity of
completing the project as great pub
lie service, he declared to-day, after he
and Mr. Ford had made a thorough
inspection of the power field Mean
while Mr.. Ford's eyes have been opened
wider to the possibilities of the plant,
which he now says can bring about the
industrial regeneration of the South.
After three days devoted to close OBJ
servation of the Wilson dam and the
two nitrate plants, Mr.. Edison gave
three reasons why he approved the
completion of the project and Mr..
Ford's bid and plans for it,
"First-1t will be the greatest insur-
ance we can have against war" Mr..
Edison said with this largest powder
producing plant in the world in readi-
ness at an instant's notice to be put in
operation, the United States would have
an asset which would make other ma
tions pause long before considering
any treaties scraps OF paper
''Second-The demonstrated ability Of
Mr.. Ford to handle a project of this
magnitude is unquestioned. No other
man has so far come forward with a
proposition which anywhere approaches
Mr.. Ford's.
"Third-The whole country knows
that if Mr.. Ford takes it over he viii
operate it for the best interests of the
common people and at moderate profit.
Furthermore, if Congress does not
accept Mr.. Ford's offer or that of any
other individual the government should
and must complete this project itself.
1t is entirely too valuable thing not
to finish"
Mr.. Ford told newspaper men that he
Tas more than satisfied with his trip
to Muscle Shoals.
THE possibilities of the project arc
far greater than | realized" he said.
81 am convinced that the operation OF
Muscle Shoals means the economic re-
generatio of the South.
THE South will have a new and more
solid basis for period Of remarkable
prosperity--not a time of imitation, but
one of solid, substantial growth, which
will see homes built, schools construct
ed and the general standard of living
raised The Investigations of Mr.. Edi
son and myself have convinced US that
the dam can be finished for the figures
| my engineers estimated it could be
done--$2S 600, 600 l shall not revise
my bid.
at is all up to Secretary Weeks and
Congress now. There will be bitter
fight. The enemies of the prof. ect-and
my bid--are many. They are silent,
powc rful, menacing.
Eve cannot fight them in the open,
as they won't COME out from cover.
But we will not fight them with our
hands and our mouths. We will fight
them with our brains. | am in this
| fight to the bitter end
The Ford party departed at $3.50
o'clock this evening for Detroit
Mr.. Ford said he would submit his
report TO Secretary Weeks within two
weeks. probably in writing.
