Determination of the ruling powers
in America to consolidate the q. S.
military forces abroad into an army
Of hard boiled, reactionary colonial
shock troops, is what dictated the
barbarous prison sentences melted out
to Privates Crouch and Trumbull, ac-
cording to the Pan-American Anti-Im-
perialist League. The organization
has undertaken a widespread cam
paign to bring about amnesty for the
two Communist soldiers by means Of
international pressure.
ut is no accident" an official of
the league said yesterday, that the
convicted men were part of an army
Of occupation, stationed in a colonial
possession. The pretense Of democ-
racy and free speech cannot be kept
up in the colonies. Imperialism is
the rule Of the iron heel. Now that
the rulers Of America have embarked
upon that policy, American armies
must be made more and more like
all imperial armies-such as the Brit
ish expeditionary forces in India and
the notorious black and tans in Ire
land.

know that the Communist Information

pies struggling for national liberation.
Consequently every appeal to Com
munism among the American soldiers
must be instantly smothered.

British Labor is
Joining Hands with
the Russian Unions

LONDON, April 29.-The Anglo
Russian unity committee receives
every day a wider support among the
masses of British unionists, who make
up the strongest section of the Am
sterdam International. Regardless of
the resistance OF German and French
reformists, the British are determined
that their labor movement shall not
be wrecked by failing to keep step
with the increasing necessity of the
organized labor movement Of the
western world to join with the Rus
sian revolutionary unions upon basis
of united struggle against capital.
Unity with the trade union move
ments in other countries has become
necessity for British labor. Every
move to preserve standards or to Sc
cure more tolerable conditions comes
UP against competition with sweated
labor abroad. The war has given in
ternational capital a chance to play
one national working class against
another, lowering the standards of all.

overseas investments are taking away
the Jobs of British workers. Here is
mess out of which British labor can
not pull alone. So it is working for
cooperation with the labor forces in
other countries.

In PARKWAY Texas

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 90
Chester M. Wright until recently
press agent and stoolpigeon-in-chief
to Sam Gompers, has fallen into a
den Of altruists. Former friends of
Wright have received letters from
him Offering them a chance to make
fortune in the oil business Of Fort
Worth, Texas.
The letter which tries to inviegle
the dollars from the pockets of the
labor leaders takes about fifteen hun
dred words to say that Chester is
now in the same business that land
ed the Arctic explorer, DR.. Cook in
Leavenworth and that he, like Cook,
is willing to take the money of all
and sundry and invest it in oil wells
that are sure to make a fortune.
In the letter Wright says that the
government had indicted all the
crooks in Forth Worth before he came
around, leaving only good friends Of
Wright's and sound altruists. Ches-
ter denies that he wants to make a
fortune for himself in order to buy
pork chops. He wants to make mon

the betterment of mankind that he
holds near and dear to his business

fights. In fact, capitalist governments
are always fighting with each other by
some means or other. Just like two
drug stores on opposite corners, tho
in larger way. Two drug stores COM
pete for customers. One of them may
be driven to dabbling in moonshine
in order to keep going. The other
competitor has to follow suit or go
under. If the competition is keen
enough one of the druggists may
either bomb his neighbor or tell the
nearest police captain of the illegal
traffic in spirits.
MO doubt the officer is already
~ acquainted with the situation and
more likely than not is the druggists
best customer But "duty is duty" and
he may be obliged to raid his friends
premises. However, this is getting
into very interesting question which
is liable to lead US into trouble, so
let get back to the dollar and the
pound. Just as the two druggists
quarrel over business so do the big
powers. And just as the two rival
druggists may bomb each others pres
cription departments so do the rival
capitalist powers bomb each others
factories provided they can near
enough to them.
IN the past they have confined
L themselves to bombing each others
soldiers. 1t was rather pleasant for
the leaders of the fighting powers.
They had all the excitement and thrill
of a war without any risk whatsoever.
OF course the kings and statesmen of
modern times manage to keep their
hides safe but wars are no longer adj
ventures to be entered into lightly
when one suffers from an attack of
Indigestion or when ones mistress
runs away with the bootblack. Society
has grown very complicated of late
and wars take long time to prepare.
Not that there is any time lost. While
the generals are getting the poison gas
ready and the preachers are concoct-
ing spirited war prayers, the diplo-
mats are lying and framing up on
each other. There is no time wasted.
THE dollar and the pound are look
= ing each other square in the eye.
They will be blowing each others
brains out as sure as you are alive.
That is, American workers and British
workers will be blowing each other
brains out, unless, their brains work
better than in the past. The ruAng
class Of Iboth countries will sit pretty
while I u carnage is on and after it is
over, they will come to terms as they
did after the late holocaust. VIII the

SOUTHERN TO SHOW
FORESTRY IN SOUTH

WASHINGTON, d. c. March 70
TO demonstrate the results that can
be obtained by applying scientific for
cstrv practices to timber lands III the
South, the Southern Railway System
has put an expert forester and three
assistants in charge of approximately
1900 acres Of standing pine in Dor
chester County, South Carolina, and
will market the full grown timber
while preserving the young trees Tor
future growth AS the present loblolly
stand is cut, slash pines will be plant
ed so as to produce turpentine as well
as timber in the future.
In explaining the purpose of the pro-
ject, Mr.. Lincoln Green. assistant to
the president of the Southern, said:
"The South has the opportunity to
meet a national need with great profit
to itself by preparing now to provide
permanent source of timber supply.
The rapid depletion OF our forests max
es reforestation imperative. Timber
can be produced in the South in half
the time required in more northern
attitudes and by introducing slash pine
we can extend the naval stores indus
try into territory where it is now un-
known.
"The Southern is undertaking a
demonstration of what can be done in
the South, operating on lands which
we're originally purchased as source
Of fuel supply for the old South Caro-
lima railroad, now our Charleston di-
vision. We shall conduct our operations
strictly as business enterprise and
expect to make them show a profit.
