we're employed by the legion to get the
goods on the Communist school, And
they did. They learned that the pu-
nils we're taught that capitalism was
had and should be done away with.
This pernicious doctrine, it appears,
was kept dark secret by the Com
munists according to the finks of the
legion, and It was only by strenuous
snd clever work on the part of the
detectives that the conspiracy was ex-
humed.
TINE legion, in order to deserve the
4 Dupont powder trusts subsidy Is
planning to make war on Communist
propaganda II seems we heard that
threas somewhere before. This is not
novel and II is not funny. The funny
thing is the comment made by the
Milwaukee Leader, socialist paper,
on the determination Of the legion to
wipe out Communism. 1t says that
he legion used the wrong methods to
crush Communism To quote: "The
American legion should not bother
itself SO much about that Communist
school somewhere in Wisconsin
II the American legion rand others
would help the socialists to improve
conditions in this country, there would
not be any Communists to deal with. =
THERE you are. A socialist paper
4 invites the scabby legion to unite
with 1t in blocking Communism.
American workers who have not fol
lowed the history of the socialist par
ties OF Europe may express surprise
at this attitude on the part of the only
socialist daily in the United States.
But Ramsay Macdonald politely well
coined Mussolini's regime. The Ger
man socialists supported the Dawes
plan. The French socialists are sup,
porting the war In Morocco and the
Bulgarian socialists helped 'Zankov
spring the traps that broke the necks
OF the Communist and agrarian lead
srs OF the working class. The Amert
can socialists are only living true to
type.
THE governor of Ohio, recently par
1 doned or paroled % state prison
ers. Those prisoners were convicted
of most everything from shooting
craps TO manslaughter. The gov
ernor did not pardon Dominic Ventu-
ratio, miner who is in Jail as re
suit Of participation in a strike. The
greatest crime in the eyes of capitalist
officials is loyalty OF a worker to his
class
ECENT railway accidents in
" France are attributed to Bolshe-
yik propaganda. The effect Of the
propaganda is so amazing that the en-
gineers become Indifferent and let
their trains fly over curves and jump
bitches at will This Is almost as
ridiculous as the order given by the
Greek police to people attempting sui
eide. Unless they warn the police OF
their Intentions they may be punished
severely But what If they succeed?
