THAT NEW RESORT!

The Press views with considerable alarm the pro-
ject to construct resort the line at Jacumba
where beer and light wines will be served. Judging
from the comments of many citizens hereabouts
tcularly those who cabins in the hills, there is
much similar feeling along the same line.
This newspaper is not here to lay down rules and
regulations for the conduct of individuals. If
woman wants to cross the line at Jacumba and get
his or her glass Cor glasses the may be) of
wine beer, that is none of business. But what
concerned with is the fact that if this pro-
iect goes through, the and only highway leading
to the mountain will doubtless become dan
gerous place for the staid citizen trying to escape to
the hills with his family for breath of cool air.
8iH The assertion is made that whiskey tequa
will be served Nevertheless it's quite possibeto at
tain just wicked and dangerous a"iag" wine
beer stronger liquors. 1t may take more glasses
to do it. but it be done And the results the
automobile driver to become just great
the highway if he had absorbed whiskey tequla.
That little narrow ribbon of highway the
desert and up through the canyon the fair green
hills beyond spells salvation in the time
it's quickest means of egress to the coast and
anything that makes travelling that highway haz-
eardous becomes menace to the entire valley.
rsS As~to just what effect the resort will have
on Jacumba and nearby. resorts are not prepared
rto say. That is problem Mr.. Vaughn and other
with extensive interests in the hills will have to solve
and it may prove serious one.

TRAILING THE FLAG

q The driver of lumber truck in Jamaica, n. Y,
has been fined $50 for "desecrating the American
flag He tied flag to the rear of his truckload as
a danger signal 1t would have been all right if he
had used Socialist flag there But the court held
hatthe Stars and Stripes absolutely must not be used
for any such purpose when the driver protest
ed he hadn't anything else to use except red sweater
which he had put on himself to keep warm.
1t is just another illustration of the difficulties
people always getting into with the national en-
bem. Directions for its proper have been given so
often that it might be supposed everybody would be
familiar with them.
- Some time the whole business may be smplified
by rule forbdding any display of the flag by private
Citizens except national holidays other public oc
casons. Promiscuous of the flag especially for
ornamentation, tends to over-famarity and ir-
reverence. To many patriotic citizens there is spe-
cal unfitnes and sort of personal arrogance in the
practice of Haunting big flags cottages
if the occupants were saying, Look at me- am
American!" Restraint about the flag is probably as
great virtue handling it properly suitable occa-
Sions.

The German Railway Strike

The present political crisis in Germany following
the death of Ebert one of long series, has been
intensified by the strike of railway freghthandlers
who have been joined by the workers of other oc-
equations and which may become general
The German railway workers have been among
the first to suffer from the operation of the Dawes
plan 1t is a striking coincidence that the day the
House of Morgan henchman, for whom the plan
was named, becomes vicepresident of the United
States, the German workers are forced to strike
against the reduction of their ptifully low living
standards. 1t is not hard to see what class the
Dawes plan is directed against.
The German railways were owned and operated
by the state, but under the Dawes plan they be-
come private property and their income is one of
the principal sources from which the reparation
payments and interest on the House of Morgan
loans is paid.
The railway workers of America can get an ac-
curate idea of what the inorganic oolidge-D Dawes
government has in store for them by studying the
effects of the Dawes plan their fellow workers
in Germany.
The DAILY WORKER expresses it's solidarity
with the German railway workers and urges them
to support the Communist Party of Germany and
its program, to strive always for the overthrow of
German and allied capitalism and the establish
ment of the dictatorship of the German workers
and peasants.

japanese Sedition Law Passed

The Japanese imperial diet has passed what is
probably the most drastic suppression law ON the
statutes of any country The full text of the law
published yesterday in our magazine section.
1t will be noticed that clause brings under the
provisions of the act anticapital propaganda or
organization work conducted in other countries.
japanese exiles and immigrants who retain their
connection with the revolutionary movement are
liable therefore to the savage penalties of the law
in case of their return to their native land
The law itself is the product of a ruling class
whose grip on the masses Of the japanese workers
and peasantry is slipping. II was the pressure
of the masses more than anything else that forced
the recognition Of Soviet Russia and a great sym
patty for the workers and peasants of Russia has
swept thru Japan. The bonds between the work
ers of both countries have been strengthened by
the signing Of the treaty.
On the other hand, the industrial and financial
system of the Japanese empire is in extremely
bad shape Late news places the number of unem-
ployed at 100000 and like most Of the other cap
taist nations its ruling class has been morgaging
the workers to the House of Morgan.
The only way out for the japanese rulers is a
war that might unite all classes behind them for
time. But this, too, is grave danger 1t is almost
a certainty that in the event Of war the 15,000000
Koreans would begin armed struggle for ma
tional independence and the growing strength Of
the labor and revolutionary movement in Japan
is a menace to any continued miltarist policy.
The drastic nature of the law just passed, pro-
hibiting il does even the ordinary activities Of
the workers organizations is the best of evidence
of the fear that the Russian revolution. the ire
mendous power of Soviet Russia in the Far East
and the spread of labor organization and revolu-
tionary thought among the Japanese masses, has
struck to the hearts Of the imperial government
and its support
