over departed rulers but because
those methods always prove to be
boomerangs.
THE workers should look with sus-
4 picious eye on all articles about
Russia or the working class move
ment, appearing in the capitalist
press. Even when the owners of those
publications are willing to publish the
truth, which is very rarely, their writ
ers are subject to temptations to color
the news In the Moroccan war for
instance, the French government pays
good money to the foreign correspond
ents covering the Riffian hositities
Correspondents working or capitalist
newspapers usually write what they
are paid to write. 3o
HOW many people notice that the
IL United States government is try
ing to regain the Qprestige in China
which it lost to the Soviet govern
ment? There was time when the
United States was looked upon as the
big brother" of the Chinese people.
But that day is gone by. Soviet Rus
STA is the real and only friend of
China today and the. Chinese people
recognize that fact. While all the
capitalist governments were devising
new tricks to rob China the Soviet
government turned around and treat
ed that country like an equal. The
result is that the workers and peas
ants of that potentially mighty repub-
lie of the Feast have faith in the
Soviet government while they look
with jaundiced eye at all the move
ments and professions of friendship
emanating from the capitalist powers.
IF the bible is the divine word of
L the christian god, it must all stay
as it is written. If it cannot be &C
cepted in its entirity, it carries no
more weight than a fairy tale. Some
of the defenders of evolution claim
that the bible and science can be
reconciled. Yes, by leaving the super
natural out of it and placing it in the
same category as the mythical tales
of other countries. The christian will
excuse his god for an atrocity imputed
to him by the bible He will admit
that no Chicago ,gangster would
escape the gallows for such crimes if
committed today. But, Jehovah had a
reason.
WHEN he told his sfayorite children
w of Israel, fighting the Caenanites
to kill all the male prisoners and the
old women and to keep the virgins as
compensation for the risks they ran
in serving him, Jehoyah's aim was to
add to the low population of the world,
the true christian viii say in defense
of such indicate conduct. Even the
kaiser would not dare issue such or
ders to his troops in poor little Bel
GUM" tho all the gods in the uni
verse, with the exception of few
anti-British gods, were against him.
Religion and science have always
been at war. They Cannot be recon-
ciled.
britain is carrying on dredging
- operations off the Esthonian coast
according to news dispatches from
Moscow. 1t is reported that Esthonia
has granted lease of two islands to
the British. Those islands will be
used as naval base for British opera
lions against Leningrad. OF course,
there is many slip between the cup
and the lip" and the best laid plans Of
the imperialist robbers aft gang
aglee" nowadays.
OUPREME KNIGHT FLAHERTY of
- the Knights of Columbus was sig
nally honorered by the pope recently.
The honor did not cost his holiness
much, it is true, but it means a good
deal to Flaherty. The pope gave the
supreme knight a medal, given only
to bishops, because Flaherty was the
bishop of the K of c. The reason is
that Flaherty is at the head of a
powerful religious organization, which
rivals the Masonic order i. the United
States. AS the chief executive Of this
order he Yields great power and the
Vatican Golfers will benefit by any
honor which may add to the material
and moral prestige, of the supreme
knight. 1t is neat stroke of bust
ness.
