We Communists are not
Mortified at military
methods. What we object
to is using such methods on
our own fellow workers.
When the red army Of work
ers' Russia marched against
the counter-revolutionists we
hailed its victories. Anti-miI-
itarism for us means the or
ganization of the soldiers
sailors for the struggle for
their immediate demands and
for their united efforts with

FACTS FOR YOUNG WORKERS !.
THE WAR BUDGET OF "PEAcE-
Full" AMERICA.

According to the statistical material
given in the Wall Street Journal, the
United States of America lavishes
military purposes a greater proportion
Of its total budget than any other ma
ton.
On the basis of the proposed budget
the United States will spend this year
for the Departments of War and the
Navy no less than $674,5S1, 900 or
2l.7 per cent of the total expenses.
This marks a notable increase over
the former years, the proportion de-
voted to militarism having been 1876
per cent and 1913 per cent respective
ly in the years 1928 and 1924.
England squanders 1871 per cent of
its budget for military uses. France
1871 per cent. Following is a table
giving a comparative view Of the mill
itary expenses as proposed in the
budget for the year 1925-1s26:

From this table it appears that no
country of the world spends either as
large sum total or as large a per
cent OF its budget for military and
naval expenses as does the peaceful
