AS WE SEE 1T

IN an article entitled: "Shall the
Progressives Organizer" the editor
of The Nation Oswald Garrison Viii
lard's weekly, patronizingly offers ia
Dor" a place in the new movement
which Willard is so anxious to see set
on foot. Dealing with the proposed
convention of the c. P. P. A. which
will be held in Chicago on Feb. FL,
Willard says: zone of the difficult
questions which will arise at the COM
ing =. convention is as to the respec-
tive roles to be assigned to the sew
eral elements in the movement. Labor
should, of course, be the nucleus and
take leading part tho not a domi-
mating part. We cannot feel that all
its leaders are sufficiently educated
politically and politically trustworthy
enough to take the lead.
nNNIHAT place the socialists will
wv take is for them to say. They
fought well for the ticket, showing
loyalty everywhere and a readiness to
subordinate themselves :" What
our condescending intelIectuals want
is an organization to which labor would
supply the ballast and the cash while
the liberals would do the talking and
the leading. The only section of the
labor movement that is educated
politically" is the radical section led
by the Communists. And it is safe
to say that the liberals would rather
trust to the political immaturity of
the labor leaders than to the Com
munists. "Untrustworthy" labor fax
ers are preferable to revolutionists
who believe in the class struggle and
who hold that only thru the over
throw of the capitalist system can
the workers be freed from their
chains.
THE Nation boldly plunges into the
! task of building a platform for
The new party. A few fundamentals
are stressed, such as, the conservation
of national resources and perhaps a
free trade plank, but If the latter
would look too revolutionary" il
could be dropped for the sake of har-
mony. The party might also be
asked to declare for peace, disarma-
ment, and the complete reversal of
our anti-imperialistic policies in the
Caribbean and elsewhere" This is
Oswald Garrison Wizards conception
of a program for the farmer-labor-in-
telligentzia-petty bourgeois, ETC., party
which he hopes will be formed at the
Feb. 21 convention of the G. p. P. A.
Glass conscious workers who have
seen the British labor party in action
will look with green eyes on this
abortion. The Workers Party is here
in the flesh; it is the party Of labor.
There is and can be no other.
NINA GOLDMAN, anarchist and
- darling of the bourgeois intel
lectuals, is alternating in London.
She is anxious to make Roadway in
England but the path of the renegade
is not easy The workers have con-

her as political prostitute who has
.Nid herself and can now be handled
,yitllout gloves. The revolution that

SECRETARY OF
NAVY DEMANDS
WAR ON JAP AN
Makes Secret Report to
Senate Committee
ispsslaI e Ths palIy workecl

WASHINGTON, Dec. f5.-
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur is
enjoying extraordinary immun-
ity in his fire-eating speeches
against Japan, nowadays.
1t will be remembered that
prior to the election he was re-
called from a speechmaking
tour because of his unbridled
language in boosting large
navy for the purpose of contest
ing the supremacy of the Pacific
Ocean with Japan.
A Piece of Bluff.
The capitalist press pointed out that
his recall was due to differences of
opinion between the navy secretary
and Calvin Coolidge, but the DAILY
WORKER held that there was no fun
damental difference between the atti-
tude of Coolidge on the question of
naval forces and that of Wilbur.
His recall was political maneuver
in order to maintain the fiction that
Coolidge was deeply interested in the
maintenance Of peaceful relations be-
tween Japan and the United States.
Now that the election is over. the
burning issue of economy is not al
lowed to interfere with the task of
increasing the size and efficiency OF
Morgan's navy. The big $4,000, 900
appropriation was slipped thru with
out murmur of opposition, while
Gals" press agents boosted about hi
saving the treasury a small sum in
travelling to the Chicago stockyards
in a pullman instead Of in a special
train.
At Secret Conference.
At a recent meeting of the house
committee on appropriations, Secre-
tary of the navy, Wilbur, declared that
war between the United States and
Japan was not alone inevitable but i'm
minent.
In arguing for the proposed naval
maneuvers around Hawaii, which are
the object Of attack in Japan, he as
serted that the Japanese navy, recent
ly, as cost of over two million dol
lars, engaged in maneuvers on a large
scale involving the use of the entire
navy.
No Talk Of Peace.
Secretary Wilbur also declared that
all the leading nations of the world
are increasing the efficiency Of their
naval contingents. According to the
secretary, Japan is building a fleet
designed to surpass that Of the United
States within few years. Captain
Henry H. Hough, who is in charge of
the espionage department of the navy.
told of inside information gathered by
his spies in Japan.
There is no doubt but the United
States capitalists are rapidly prepar-
ing for a war with the capitalists OF
Japan.

shal George D. Beaumont, is one of the worst

A letter comes to us from the Kluk van Camp saying "and as far as 'Cultuss Jake and his kind are con- cened, they do not exist at all; be- cause we are 100 per cent members of the Alaska Native Brotherhood, and when I say 100 per cent, I mean 100 per cent, and not anything un- der." The writer, James H. Gib- son, is of the type of progressive Natives who makes it possible to fully inform all the natives in his district about the real issues of the day. Stroller White would find that the average Native is better in formed than the average resident of "Snob Hill" on the real issues of this campaign.

ELECTION JUDGES

What questions are they entitled to ask voters?
 In the last primaries, certain cleo tion judges took it on themselves to cross examine would-be voters. Here are some sample questions:
 How long have you lived in Jake vile?
 Have you a residence in Junktown?
 Have you ever passed through Ju- neau?
 Where did you eat your Easter dinner?
 Were you at church Easter?
 At what church did you attend?
 Were you at Sunday School East CT?
 For the information of our friends who are watchers at the polls, and for the information of the voter, l wish to say that an election judge has no right whatever to cross-eX- anime those seeking to vote. Fur thermore, voters do not need to an' swer any questions put to them by over-officious election judges. Every bit of this excess of zeal on the part of election judges can be construed as intimidation of voters and also a hindrance of voting. This act is a crime under our statutes for which the over-zealous judge can be pros ecuted criminally.
 The only authority an election judge has is to challenge voter if that judge thinks he has grounds for so doing. Whereupon the voter must swear in his vote. To swear false ly is purjury. But the election judge may not challenge on mere suspicion for that becomes crime under our laws.

 Juneau against tho rest of Alaska.
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-05-15

It is not much more than a year ago, that Deputy Marshal Pride and U. s. Commissioner Dalameter al lowed a man to drink himself to death right there at Hoonah merely because it was not the duty of MT. Pryde or Dr. Dalameter to swear out warrant for the arrest of this man who was breaking the laws of Alaska. In fact, said MT. Deputy Marshal Pryde, he, the said Pryde, being a deputy marshal, was not supposed to do anything but to serve warrants when handed to him by the U. s. Commissioner. And while the two officers of the law were ar guing about the matter, the man-I should confess right here that he was a highly literate white man died of drink.
 And then-ah, then MT. Deputy Marshal and U. s. Com. acted at once because it was very plain in the very books that when man died, yes indeed, when he died, that inn posed a duty on these officers of the law.
 The missionary there, Rev. George Beck, had done his utmost to get the prydeful marshal to do something be- fore the man died, with no result. But after death, the prideful mar shal at once asked the missionary to take charge of the funeral.
 We have all kinds of marshals in this division, and this Pryde of Mar

and took him to the U. s. Commits sioner.
 Marshal Harry Pryde heard about the high-handed action of these il- literate Indians and told them that they had no right to arrest this lit crate white drunk, and prideful liar ry laid down the law to these illit- crates.
 The trouble was these illiterates could not read and foolishly thought that it was wrong for a white man to get drunk on account of some amendment to the Constitution they had heard about.
 Alaska is coming to terrible pass when illiterate Indians try to pass laws for the rest of us. In Hoonah, not long ago, the Indian council pass ed an ordinance compelling the par ents or guardians of children to keep the kids in school or pay penalty. Deputy Marshal Pryde, who is also kind of a deep-sea lawyer, heard about this outrageous attempt of these illiterates to keep their chil- dren in school, and he told them in nc uncertain tone that he could read, in fact that he had done a lot of just that, and he was there to inform them they had no right to pass any such law as that, and that if they did, Che filled his prideful Pryde chest at this point and in dicated his star of authority), he was there to protect the innocent vic tims of their illiteracy. Gurr-rr-r-r! He would not stand for that; no, sir!
