the women and children inhabiting the
villages, the survivors of whom no
doubt give thanks to heaven for the
blessings dropped therefrom.
2. The imperialists relieve the
Moroccan herdsmen of the unpleasant
necessity of caring for their flocks
and herds. This is indispensable in
the process of bringing civilization to
savage peoples. Having no flocks to
take care of, the Moroccans now have
plenty Of leisure, which they can de-
vote to reading The Milwaukee
Leader or Karl Kautsky's latest book.
8. The imperialists relieve the
Moroccans of their arms and ammuni-
ton. This is bringing christianity
and higher moral culture to the
lowly Riffs. No longer will they be
able to break the sixth command

BY BERNARD HERMAN

THE robber war now being waged in
L Morocco was started by the French
bankers with the active aid and
cooperation of the socialists. The
reactionaries and socialists voted as
one man in the French chamber of
deputies against the Communists,
who alone opposed the imperialist
war, who alone rallied the French
workers against this monstrous slave
expedition. AS Jean Longuet, one of
the leading French socialists said,
aghast: the Bolsheviks were actually
favoring the liberation of African
savagesl" These flunkeys of imper-
ialism raised the cry: 1.-THE war in
Morocco is a war in defense OF
civilization! A war in defense of
humanity" Well, here is how the
correspondent of the London Daily
Express describes the campaign in
Morocco against AFRICAN savages":
1.-THE last village we occupied had
previously been bombed by airplanes,
and the efficiency Of the air-worker is
only too evident. Smoking ruins are
all that is left of most Of the flimsy
native houses. The streets are i'm.
passable. Great piles of debris are
Thrown here and there, and everything
is in state of confusion.
"The natives headed by their chiefs,
carrying white flags, came out to meet
us at each village. They are always
met by the commander of the column
with the same formula: III you do not
bring out all your arms and ammuni-
ton, all your flocks and herds, to me
here within half an hour, will burn
the village to the ground and kill ten
leading men,
"Pillage under such conditions is
temptingly easy, and the commander
has considerable difficulty in restrain.
ing his soldiers. After each village
was taken, the men appeared carry

of the native officers, and to the great
amusement Of the commander and

bearing role of the white races and
the bankers toward the darker and
inferior peoples" From this descrip-
ton of the Moroccan campaign, we
can see that the French bourgeolsie
and their socialist lackeys bring the
following blessings of civilization and
humanity (of both of them) to the
"savages" of Morocco:

bring crushing defeat to America in
her next war.
Drum spoke for the war depart
ment, as his statement was prepared
in advance by the general staff as a
rebuttal to the two weeks testimony
given the board by army and navy
fiiers. He fayed the proposals both
Of COLONEL Billy Mitchell, stormy pe-
trel of the army air service, and of
General Mason M. Patrick, as unsound
in strategical value, worthless to the
national defense and intended only to
give aviators more special privileges,
higher pay and quicker promotion
than go to Americas other fighting
units.
Drum Settled" one great contro-
versy of the recent world struggle
while testifying. He declared it was
the war departments firm opinion that
the "dough-boy" won the war.
Assalls Coolidge Economy 4.
AS for the lack of funds" blamed
by many witnesses for the army's
failure to develop aviation, Drum laid
the responsibility directly at the door
Of the White House. He said the
economy policy of President Coolidge
forced the general staff to underman
the air service along with all other
branches Of the national defense.
An $SO,000,000 program for new air
equipment, planned by the war de-
partment, Drum said, had to be aban-
doned because of this economy.
Dangerous Policies
Taking up each recommendation
for new air policy, Drum character
lied them as dangerous to the nation
al defense
"The establishment of separate air
force Independent of the army cannot
be justified on any grounds what
ever" Drum continued.
"The idea behind all these plans is
the same. ID means separation in
stead Of union. 1t means aggravating
out present difficulties instead Of ap-
plying a remedy 1t will mean aid
and assistance for our enemies in
stead of their destruction and down
fall"

LONDON, Oct. 1s.-The rubber
monopoly restrictions under the Ste
venson scheme of Withholding the
supply and releasing only as prices
rise has been responsible for the
rise in both rubber and rubber
shares on the market.
Raw rubber has gone up to four
shiIlings and share holders are
cleaning up all arrears In dividends.
ceyIon advices say stock supply Of
rubber on October 5, is 400 tons
lower than on Sept. 10.
But the rise in price, while good
for rubber share holders has caused
a group of rubber manufacturers and
consumers to send a delegation to
the under-secretary of state for the
colonies, demanding an ending Of
the restrictions. All they accomplish
ed was to get promise that Colon
