Army Spy in Shiny
Talk Against Reds
at Englewood H. S.
BY STANLEY BALcHUNAs.

Englewood high school had a visitor
recently. This gentleman's name was
Col. Hopkins. This man knows the
Star Spangled Banner. He was dress
ed in q clean, newly pressed uniform.
Col. Hopkins definition of Stacker
is a man who marries and then hides
behind his woman's skirts and then
says he cannot go to war. Col Hop
hns wanted TO impress upon us that
a bolshevik and a Stacker are the
same thing. A very good definition
Col. Hopkins, but we don't believe
you.
Another thing that Col. Hopkins
said is that, bolsheviks are all over
the country and cause trouble. That
is very true, Col Hopkins, but 1 think
that the trouble is caused by the capt.
talist class and the boIsheviks are
resisting the oppression.
This great gentleman was in the
secret service during the war and so
probably did not see the slaughter
out there which he praises now as
patriotism.
This is the kind Of speeches we are
getting in high schools for our edu-
cation.

DETROIT, Mich, June Henry
Ford, speaking of his airplane freight
line between Chicago and Detroit,
stated: "What we are doing is this: We
decided the time was ripe for serious
consideration Of aviation as an indus
trial transportation unit, and we con-
cluded the very best way for us to
study the proposition was to start fly
ing so we wouldn't have to depend for
information on what other folks did
and said.
"This air service of ours in really
on trial. We keep exact tab on every
detail connected with it. We keep
records on how the engines behave in
regular daily service, how they stand
heavy loads, what their cost is COM
pared to motor or railroad transporta-
tion, and how dependable they are un-
der varying weather conditions. So
for they appear to be pretty satisfac-
tory"
Ford stated recently that his indus
trial airplanes could easily be convert
ed into war planes. He is thus aiding
the government to build up a war
fleet.

NEW YORK, June i.-Most of the
governors of the 4s states, when ques-
toned as to their support of Presl-
dent coolldge's request that July
be set aside as all annual mobilza-
ton day, were far from enthusiastic
about the plan. Many of the gov
ernors questioned, rejecting the op-
position Of the workers Of their state,
offered objection and criticism to the
plan, aItho some Of them said they
would support Coolidge If he made it
necessary.
Gov. Henry L. Fugua, Of Louisiana,
declared: 1T is impracticable to
mobilize our state troops for July 4.
am inclined to think an annual de-
Tense day is too often. I feel that
every two or even four years is suf-
ficient for test, and not calculated
to emphasize and foster too mill
taristic spirit"
Against Mobilization.
Gov. F. S. Billins, of Vermont,
CoonuBes nome state, said he 'ap-
proved Coolidge's suggestion" but "As
to the matter of mobilization, that
will have to be taken up later. AS
understand it the president wishes de-
fense day to be entirely voluntary"
Mobilization on the fourth of July
is inadvisabIe for it would curtail the
recreation of citizens on a national
holiday" said Gov. Albert Ritchief of
Maryland.
Not For War Activity.
Gov. George Hunt of Arizona op-
posed mobilization day either on July
4 or on armistice day, II feel both
these days should be devoted to the
cause Of peace rather than considera-
tion Of further military activity" said
Hunt.
Some of the governors will be run
ming for reelection soon, and are
catering to the poposition of the work

YOUNG CANADIAN
RED DEPORTED
FROM WINNIPEG
w Ork er Sent to
England lUith Family
Especial to The Daily w0rkerl

Especial TO lNe GdiiJ WOFN6TJ
TORONTO, Ont, Canada, June H.
The deportation of comrade Jack
Gregg, with his parents and family
back to England for revolutionary ae-
tivIties has seldom been precedented
In the history of Canada. The family
came to Canada not long ago and set
tied In Winnipeg. Immediately the
family became active in the commun-
let movement, and comrade Jack
Gregg took a very active part In the
work Of the Young Communist League
In Winnipeg.
The family has been unable to sup
port itself like many hundreds Of fam
ilies in the large cities of Canada
and has been dependent upon the
city of Winnipeg for relief during the
winter. Five times the immigration
authorities threatened to deport the
whole family back to England, alleg-
edly because they had been dependent
on the city, and we're taking an active
part In the labor movement. Finally,
they have been deported. They sailed
on the 10th.
Made May Day Speech.
The incident which was responsible
for the final decision on the matter
was Comrade Gregg's speech on May
Day in Winnipeg. Comrade Gregg
spoke for the Young Communist
League Of Canada and pointed out
with enough force to make the bour-
geoisie afraid, all the evils of the sys-
tenn, and particularly the conditions
of the young workers.
This soorching attack upon the
flag of British imperialism was too
much for the master class, and they
have shown their fear and anger by
deporting the comrade back to the
old country. Such a step as this on
the part Of the bourgeoisie is absolute
ly intolerable. If they can get away
with 1t in one case, they will use the
same tactics again when it'suits their
end.
Y. c. L. Protests.
The National Executive Committee
of the Y. G. L. of Canada raises its
voice against such direct attack
against the Young Communist League,
and thus against the militant workers
at large. The master class would like
to destroy the fighting spirit of the
entire working class movement in this
country in the same fashion, by the
deportation of its militant leadership.
The National Executive of the Y. G. L.
of Canada will fight such action and
calls upon the working class as a
whole to protest against this menac-
ing policy.

DAYTON, Tenn, July 22.-The con-
cillsion of the Scopes trial brought
a rain of statements and counter
statements.
The first one came from William
Jennings Bryan. 1t brought imme-
date responses from Clarence Oar
row and Dudley Field Malone.
Mr. Bryan's statement asserted
that the case had uncovered an lin
sidious attack upon the authority OF
the Bible" 1t termed Clarence Oar
"ow's entrance into the case most
fortunate for the Christian Church, "
pronounced him the most perfect
product Of evolution in the United
states, and charged that Mr. Darrow
had "slurred the Bible. insubed the
court. shown his contempt for every
thing Christian and everybody identi-
led with Christianity.
Mr.. DarroW. replying, declared he
had not come into the Scopes case
until after the entrance Of Mr.. Bryan,
and added that he was inclined to
think that intelligent religionists
would like to get rid of AIR, Bryan. :

The statement OF Mr. Bryan follows:

unimportant. 1t dwarfs all other is
sues now under consideration by the
people of the United States and Of the
world. Is the Bible true? is the ques

attack upon the authority of the
Bible is organized, deliberate and ma

'Mr Darrows entrance into the case
has been most fortunate for the
Christian Church. He is the most con

OF religion in the Nation. He is the
finished product of evolution-the
most perfect that has Vet developed

that is cruel, heartleSs and destructive
in evolution. He is our exhibit A and
proves the criminal folly of entrusting

not believe that there is o God-he is

Mr. Bryan's convulsions seem que

scholars to interpret the meaning OF
the story in Genesis in the Bible as 10

1T is very likely that we were
wrong in this, as he probably is not
an expert But we had In mind the
fact that for several years the Sun
day newspapers have carried his
preachings to the world and we
thought Mr.. Bryan ought to know:
Evening star., 1925-07-22

How much Mr.. Bryan knows about
the Bible, or anything else, can best
be judged by his answers.
"Of course, ! cannot help having
some pity for Mr.. Bryan for being
obliged to show his gross ignorance

Mr.. Bryan informs us he shall
soon answer for all Christians. ! as
sumo he has the authority OF all
Christians for this statement.
Mr.. Bryan is not the best Judge
OF whether my questions were COM
petent enough to be answered. 1t is
enough to say he answered them, and
1t is rather interesting that the next
morning the court, of his own accord
struck them from the record. I can
not help wondering why the court
helped Mr.. Bryan out of his dilemma
especially so early In the morning
and before any request had been
made In open court.
Malone Expects Victory.
The statement by Malone:
Our objects in coming to Tennes-
see have been fulfilled. Though Prof
Scopes has been convicted. we have
made a record filed with reversible
error, which will, we believe. ulti
mately declare the Tennessee evoIu

achieved. Mr.. Bryan has been or

raise a smoke screen to cover the
shameless exhibition of ignorance and
bigotry which he has given through
out this trial.
IF Mr.. Bryan. with the courage of
his convictions, had continued his ex-
animation by Mr.. Darrow this
morning, instead of seeking the pro-
lection of the court to save him from
intellectual slaughter, he could have
claimed an opportunity to ask the
lawyers for the defense all the ques-
tions which he has proposed, and our
answers could have been given under

sufficient church and political power
to credte state religion in the
United States. 1t has been necessary
to expose the objects and pretentions
of Mr.. Bryan's present leadership.
After his examination by Clarence
Darrow yesterday no intelligent per-
son I'm America can believe that Mr..
Bryan Is an authority on science, ed
