Mr.. Willard believes that Wilson
went to Paris with The highest
ideals, but without a plan; that he
made a failure of the American case
in settling the World War, and that
the giving of Shantung and other

wrong but unnecessary. The Senate,
he thinks. was right in rejecting
the work Of the Paris conference.
Japan's imperialism received its first

Berry Turns Prophet

Major-General George L. Berry, most often no
torious for his strike-breaking activities, and
sometimes known as the President of the Interna-
tional Printing Pressmen and Assistants Union,
has just completed a democratic campaign tour
across the continent.
General" Berry stopped in Chicago long enough
to let loose food of words over the bankruptcy
that has hit hundreds of thousands of farmers and
proclaimed that "This great element is demanding
satisfaction. And that they are going to get it."
Pity the poor farmers! The lord and his al
mighty hosts deliver the rural masses from such
deliverers and saviors. Strikebreaker Berry who
wants to be vicepresident has turned prophet; a
false prophet to be sure. But why.
The reactionary democratic machine is planning
to pull the wool over the eyes of the working and
farming masses in the coming elections and snatch
the control of the governmental administrative
machinery away from their republican competitors
now getting most of the pelf. In order to assure
the of this plan the big business interests
that will invest their funds in the democratic
party in this presidential election planning to
get some fake progressive or so-called friend of
labor to have prominent place the national
ticket and thus draw huge labor and farm VOTE
Mr.. Berry has been prominently mentioned as
probable vice-presidential nominee on the demo-
cratic ticket with this objective in view.
Strikebreaker Berry will not fool the workers
farmers by his crocodile tears the economic
depression in the rural areas. Berry before he
found the camp of the enemies Of the working
class more comfortable, advocated the formation
of a national farmerlabor party. He cannot today
halt the organization of such powerful party on
a countrywide scale. The laboring masses thru
out the land know of the inestimable services
General" Berry has time and again rendered the
bosses. The way in which Berry broke the last
strike of pressmen in New York is still fresh in
their memories. And the farming masses who
have IN recent days shown signs of great advance
towards independent class political action will
surely not be fooled The rising tide of farmer
labor sentiment sweeping the country will
dispose of such friends" of the disconnected
masses their enemy General Berry

MENTIONING THE MOVIES
"Drums Of Jeopardy"

Some occasional flashes of good
acting are utterly wasted in this I'M
believably impossible strung-together
movie hoakum. 1t has only one re-
deeming feature, negative one, but
the only one-it deals with a Russian
episode without throwing mud at the
Bolsheviks.
The fateful fools" are stolen from
the Russian Grand Duke, recovered
by his handsome American secretary,
carried across the ocean by his ItaI-
ian court violinist and turned over
to the American banker, who repre-
sents "His Highness" in Wall Street.
The villain pursues the gems, kills
the banker, casts suspicion on the
handsome hero, which is dispelled on
ly in a sensational raid on the Little
Russia Cafe" just in time for the final
clinch.
If the picture were shown in Rus
STA, especially the episodes purporting
to deal with that country, they would
cause no end of fun. The Cars
Jewel chambers are represented as
cellar easily entered from tran
some opening on an unguarded street.
All the handsome American has to do
is to ride up on horseback, dive thru
the transome, overpower the single
bewhiskered guard, grab the jewels,
and ride off and out of Russia just
like that. The Grand Duke is also
very careless; all gang of rough
necks have to do is to walk right in,
wallop His Highness with dog whip,
whereupon the jewels are turned over
to them. Any suburbanite would take
more precautions in guarding his
home brew than do these screen
mobiles in matters of crown Jewels.
The least plausible combination of
misinformation ever assembled, not
even rotten enough to be good. De-
cidedly not worth wasting any time
on.

Once more we celebrate the Inter
national Labor Day, May LIST, called
May-Day by many. In some places
we have parades, picnics, dances and
almost in every town and hamlet
where there are group of radicals
a meeting of some kind will be held.
This is done to show our information
al solidarity, to show that labor Of
every land and language has agreed
that May LIST shall be known as Labor
Day, not by the grace of God, or by
act Of parliament, but by the power Of
class solidarity.
To the class conscious worker,
wherever he may be, on land or on
the seas, sick or well, imprisoned or
at liberty, May LIST calls to him the
memories of the struggles of the past
and the hopes Of the future, as does
no other day of the year. The master
class have tried in vain to stop this
expression of international solidarity,
but the more they Cypress us the
greater is our determination to cele-
brate, to show in some way that this
day is different from other days.
In some countries public demonstra-
tions are forbidden, but you may rest
assured that the comrades will have
some kind of a demonstration that
will put their hearts in tune with the
workers of the world. Even in pri-
son they cannot stop this spirit from
expressing itself have spent three
May Days in prison and I know
whereof speak. One OF those May
Days was alone, the only radical in
that prison, but l put on little bow
of red ribbon and wore it proudly and
explained to my fellow prisoners who
asked me why l was wearing it, the
meaning of May Day. The two other
May Days spent in prison was in the
Federal prison at Atlanta, Ca and
was not alone. There were many of
us, paying the penalty of the law,
prisoners of war, held by the enemy,
in that bastile of American capitalism.

were allowed the privilege of going
in the yard for the afternoon. We

An W-Timed Raid

The old saying of being hoist with their own
petard is distinctly applicable to what happened
to the reactionary government Of Germany when
il rsided the Offices of the trade mission from
Soviet Russia in Berlin the other day-just pre-
vious to the election that returned e. Communists
to the reichstag with total of over 100000 work
ing class votes behind them.
The raid was made ostensibly as part of
search for a Communist who was evading the
police, but the breaking open of desks and the
rifing of files in accordance with the best Ameri
can police procedure, indicates that it was in
tended as a deliberate provocation as well as an
attempt to intimidate the Communist supporters
in the reichstag elections.
The Soviet government has protested and that
protest will be voiced by the Communist delegation
in the reichstag--a delegation that has surprised
even the most sanguine Communists by its size and
which includes many of the acknowledged leaders
Of the German Communist party.
More significant than the enormous vote polled
by the Communists or the fighting ability of those
elected is the fact that all the industrial centers
of Germany-the heart, nerves and arteries of the
whole nation-lined up solidly for the Communist
program. In other words, the Communist strength
is in places where it counts the most particularly
in a great industrial nation like Germany.
Faced with this condition of affairs the German
tools of international capitalism who are now at
the head of the German government are welcome
to all the consolation they derive from the
raiding of the Soviet trade bureaus
1t might be well to say in passing that the
House of Morgan whose plans for the enslave-
ment of the German workers and peasants have re-
eeived setback by the election results are
also welcome to all the satisfaction they

eminent of Soviet Russia which they doubtless in

Spike Moore, who was artistic, drew
the words of a revolutionary motto in
the sandy soil and that was our ban
ner. Many prisoners passing by
stopped to look at the words that were
printed in the sand and then they
would look at us and smile. That was
our May Day celebration and we en-
joyed it, perhaps more than you will
enjoy your celebration in gaily de-
corated halls. 1t may seem simple to
you who know nothing about life in a
prison, but to us it meant much. For
one thing, it meant going to "the

would sound when 40 percenter re-
