Thinking by Soldiers
Is Great Threat to the
Stability of Capitalism
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY the workers Of the United States beginning
learn, they didn't know before, that the army
instrument Of American Imperialism, and that the nost
important military post in American CONTROL" in the words
of the Chicago Tribune Is the Sohoed Barracks in Hawaii
Holding tightly to these facts, the capitalist press
beating the tom toms in favor Of the outrageous
of 40 and 20 years imprisonment imposed
diers Paul Crouch Walter Trumbu and the court
martalng OF eight more.
Soldiers in imperiast armies not supposed to have
ideas of their They must not question why they MUIR
der All they expected to do is bndIy obey the ORDER
Forward to the sIaughter They must ask why they
KILL only kill!
appears that Crouch and Trun1buI never questioned
the orders of the periast army In which they But
it was discovered that they had ideas OF their They
thinking robot-sodiers
They protested against msstateents regarding Soviet
Russia appearing in local newspaper the Honolulu Adver-
tse hey sought to correct these sstatemens That
their crime.
This Is not the first time that American soldiers have
UOssbs To Rs in
an army the vadvostok front in the against the
fight They Committed petty osnsss in order to be- sent to
the guard house. Many back the United States
to to serve long o terms Of in the military prison
the Pacific coast They subjected to the brutal
treatment for their Soviet ssympathiss.
One letter by soldier capitalist newspaper now
pprcks the whole American capitalist state into hyserca
action because Hawaii is its most important military out
post 1t not only Hegoand looking the Philip
pines, and sitting astrde the road to the East ndes is
not only the highway China and lookout towards
Japan, but it also eyes VadNostok where flies the flag
OF the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on the Pacific
Western European capitalism may build its Gordon sanaire
thru the Baltic and the Balkan against the Soviet
realm in the west But the meted to Crouch
and Trumbul in the army confession that U. s. imperial
ism fears for its anti-Boshevk blockade Pacific 1t
wasn't enough to Withdraw the American army from Vad-
vostok The Bolshevk germ already penetrates half way
across the earths broadest ocean.
The military of American Imperialism is no more
iperVous to Boshevk infection than the any
other capitalist nation. French martial Just
leased Captain jacques Sadoul charged with deseon from
the army OF inperiast France to the Soviet lines.
1t isn't so easy to drum up army nowadays murder
without thinking in democratic" America British
imperialism had to Syrian gendarmes and ercenaries
from Agiers do its killing protect spokesman Lord
Bafour Damascus But the robot soldiers from syria and
Algeria like the soldiers of other nations will learn their
identity OF interest with the soldiers and workers all other
lands.
They will learn in time of the Red Army of Soviet Rus
sa composed of soldiers who do their thinking and
who know why they fight.
The incident at the Schofield Barracks, Hawaii ind
Gates that dea the Communist dea peneates the
of ignorance in which the American dollar govern
ment seeks to dress its fighting forces There nothing to
prevent this armor from being pierced effectively
world struggle between capital and labor that it will be
rendered absolutely useless
