The country will soon be treated to another bat
tie in legal sophistres and abstruse judicial techni
calities United States "Beef Trust" Senator Wat
son of Indiana is on the warpath against the In
ternal Revenue Investigating Committee.
Senator Couzens of Michigan is insisting that
the committee investigating the prohibition unit of
the Internal Revenue Department continue its
work during the summer. Mr.. Watson, who has
for years served the packing and other big business
interests, is doing his best to stie the investga-
ton in order the political face and neck of
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon The
latter is now mentioning in Europe and laying
down the law of the American bankers to Herriot,
the Belgian Theunis, Macdonald and other Euro
pean diplomats at the London Preparations Con-
ference.
A majority of the committee has decided to re-
the investigation. Senator Watson, who is
always ready to applaud the sending of troops to
break up strikes of miners and railroad workers
under the guise of preserving law and order, is
now breaking the law by blocking the investigation
and by urging witnesses to refuse to testify. The
Indiana senator would have the country believe
that the committee has legal right to investigate
while Congress is not in session.
OF course Mr.. Watson is simply trying to avoid
any more truth leaking out about Melons shady
deals. Campaign times are not exactly appropri-
tics Mr. Watson ought to know. He has been
stepped in the flthiest brand of employing class
politics for many years.
But there is something more significant about
the incident Congress elected under the sys-
TEN which we are so often asked to believe sacred
and inviolable. This Congress appoints commit
tee and empowers it to finish certain piece of
work. Now Mr.. Watson is planning to call on the
courts TO choke off the investigation. This is the
usual style in which such operations are engi-
neered.
This is the blessed democracy that the workers
and farmers are asked to worship. This is the way
ia which the "wl of the people" is violated by the
very ones who are supposed to be serving them.
What hollow mockery. What sham the whole
show is! Senator Watson and his capitalist crew
will have their way, without doubt
When will the working class have its way?
Wien will this fraudulent democracy of the bosses
be cast overheard?

Snowden's Confession

OF all the dangerous 'Bolsheviks" who rode in
the tide of the last Labor Party victory in Eng
land, none was more feared than Mr.. Philip Snow
den A shudder went through the spines of the
Lombard Street bankers when Snowden was made
Chancellor of the Exchequer.
But now Mr.. Snowden is no longer a menace or
a mystery to the British capitalist class. In his
and mighty office Snowden has lost all ear
marks of pink labor evangelist or agitator. Mr.
Snowden has gone over the top for the London big
business interests.
For the first three months the Labor Chancellor
of the Exchequer was watched closely by the
hawks of Londons financial alleys. The official
observers began to say that Mr.. Snowden, the
labor agitator, as different from Mr.. Snowden,
the Chancellor, Mr.. Hyde from DR.. Jekyll. Then
on the eve of his first budget the British pound
began to wobbe bit because of the fear that the
dreaded capital levy would be advocated.
The employing class was most pleasantly dis
appointed There was not even the slightest hint
or mention-by inference or sufferance-of the
hated levy. Snowden's letter to the National Saw
ings Committee was another breeze which was
hailed by the overlords of English finance as a
most favorable politicoeconomic wind
Yet the real, "ful dress confession of faith" as
! Mr.. Roy Hopkins of the Annast we'll put it, was
| lot made by Mr.. SnOwden until the banquet given
annually by the Lord Mayor of London to himself,
the bankers, the merchants and the Bank of Eng
land was held. This a most suspicious
ment for the Labor Chancellor Snowden to reas
sure the bankers in these explicit words: "Altho
belong to political party which is supposed
neither to know nor to care anything about the
national credit, can assure you that there never
has been in Office a Chancellor of the Exchequer
who appreciated more highly than l that a Chan
cellor's first duty is to do nothing which will in
the slightest degree result in loss of confidence
in the national credit
The British employers know that Mr.. Snowden
is fully that the possibility of the levy
on capital is sufficient to cause another "1ight
of the pound" His unequivocal words are there
fore welcomed by them definitely putting on the
Ishelf this tax measure.
The exploiters of the English working class GER
tainly have good cause to rejoice. Mr.. Snowden is
doing for them in the name of the Labor Party
what the leaders of the Second International have
been doing for the German, French, Belgian and
other capitalists for many. years.

The Membership Campaign

1t is not merely coincidence that the Workers
Party selected the election campaign period as the
time to inaugurate drive to double the member
ship of the party This is the time when the work
ers most receptive to the Communist message
and the best time to show them that the Workers
Party is the only organization that offers solu-
ton of the problems affecting the working class
and maps the road along which the workers must
travel in order to emancipate themselves.
This year, the prospects for increasing the mem
bership of the party are exceptionally bright The
Workers Party is the only revolutionary party
with national ticket in the field, raising the ban
ner of Communism against all the bourgeois par
ties combined. No class conscious worker can be
in doubt as to what party he should vote for. All
the other parties support the capitalist system.
From the republican party to the LaFolette party,
there is only choice between good and bad repub,
licans good and bad democrats. But the Work
ers Party is the party of Lenin the party of revo
luton. 1t is the party that every redblooded
worker should belong to.
Our members are starting out on the campaign
to double the party membership with vim and en-
thusiasm. The new election policy of the party
has inspired them. The Workers Party enters the
election campaign with two noted fighters in the
lead: Foster and Gitlow. It's banner is clean.
1t stood true to the FarmerLabor Party policy
which was deserted by the yellow socialists and
the labor takers Already the most class conscious
and honest in the ranks of the reformsts are apply
ing for admission into the Workers Party Now
is the time to reap the harvest. "Vote and Work
for Foster" by bringing a new member into the
party.

War Over Peace Treaty?

VIII the United States and England go to war
to settle the dispute over the proper interpreta-
ton of the Washington convention for the limita-
ton of ornaments?
Other war threats are more immediate than this
one, but still this dispute over what the treaty
means, containing as it does the seeds of war, is
very Illuminating 1t helps to throw light upon
the essentially warlike and imperialist nature of
capitalist government and discloses the so-called
peace treaties for what they are, mere maneuvers
on the chess-board.
Great Britain and the United States among
other nations, entered into agreement for the
limitation of naval ornaments. This was supposed
to stabilize international relations and insure
peace between the agreeing nations. Out of this
very agreement Great Britain finds a serious
grievance. She complains that the United States,
in violation of the convention, is changing the
elevation and range of guns on battleships.
formal protest has been entered at Washington
On the other hand, Washington officials take the
protest very lightly They announce that they
twill go ahead with the program" refusing to
acknowledge that any violation of the treaty is
involved in the "modernization" of American
battleships that is being carried out.
The paragraph in the treaty to which the British
refer provides that in existing battleships mo
alterations in sde-armor, in caliber, in number of
guns, or general type of mounting shall be per
mitted"
Britain says this prevents Gus" from doing
what "we' do; ''we"-which is to say CAPT
talist masters in Washington who assume to speak
in our name-say it means nothing of the sort
Well, inasmuch as we don't agree on what the
peace treaty MEANS there seems nothing left but
to test out the guns on one another The one who
has violated the treaty most effectively will win
the test and establish his Interpretation of it.
A sense of humor is absolutely necessary in
dealing with the absurdities of capitalist imperial
ism. Have good laugh-but prepare for the next
conscription act that will soon be picking us up
for service in 'pacifying' Europe.

Rudolph spreckels owns great sugar interests in

tee, contributing of his time and millions The
tariff commission is recommending to the Presi-
dent cut on Cuban sugar tariff. Commissioner
Culbertson, one of those in favor of reduction is
reported to be a close friend of LaFollette. The
Wisconsin senator makes his first public statement
in the presidential campaign in the shape Of a
broadside against Secretary Hoover, charging
collision with Smoot, chairman of the finance com
mittee, and with western sugar interests in fore
ing up prices of sugar in the United States
All of which should be interesting to the farm

fight of the millionaire sugar king as the first order
of business Not the plight Of the bankrupt farmers
of the Northwest not the abolition of the injunc-
ton rule over labor, but the issue of lower tariff

THE LITTLE TIN SOLDIER

II like the story about Peter
the artist. 1 would like to hear
something more about Peter"
writes Beatrice Jackerson, seven
years old, of Washington, Dis
trict of Columbia.
This story is not about Peter,
but maybe we can tell more about
the boy artist another time. This
is about little tin soldier and
the little boy who owned him.
The. little boy who owned the
tin soldier used to put his shiny
little fighter with his red enamel
coat, an old-fashioned soldier he
was, on the floor. The boy would
pretend that the little tin soldier
was part of big army. The little
boy had found the tin soldier
where some rich child had lost it,
The little tin soldier could
stand a lot of rough fighting and
never get hurt. The little boy
sometimes played that his soldier
was hurt and then he wrapped
up the tin soldiers arm in a torn
bit of cloth.
The little boy always had his
tin soldier fight for the workers,
because he heard his father say
that they needed to beat the
bosses.
When the little boy grew up, a
great war began and the bosses
began to draft men to fight for
them. The little boy, who was
now young man, was drafted,
which means he was made to go
to war and fight altho he didn't
want to. He knew if he said any
thing about not wanting to go
that he would be put in Jail and
so he went off across the sea to
