THE Prince Of Wales is off on a
i $4,000 mile jaunt to boost the
wares of the British empire. He
touches at South Africa first and then
leaves for South America to undo the
dirty work started by General Perish
ing, the Wall Street tout who has
just returned from trip in behalf of
American capitalism. The king and
queen recently left for health cruise
in the Mediterranean Sea, They are
lucky to. have place to go. to.
DEFORE the prince boarded the
~ royal train, he had to listen to
Stanely Baldwin for fifteen minutes
giving him instructions. Not about
the latest dance craze, it is safe to
say 1t is more likely that the prem
ier advised the royal heir on how to
comport himself In South Africa where
the collar of empire is worn with ir-
ritation, and how to speak in South
America where the British pound is
engaged in losing fight with the
dollars of Wall Street. The prince
must do what he is told or his head
will come off, Not in a physical sense,
but economically The royal family is
very useful to the British ruling class.
1t makes good cement.
A S the London correspondent of the
"A DAILY WORKER cabled few
days ago, the public appearance of
Mussolini was SO per cent bluff. The
latest reports confirm the skepticism
that prevailed in England regarding
the dictator's health. The enemies Of
fascism are mobilizing and Mussolini
is in no physical condition to stand
the gaff. AS the Communists so often
predicted, on the first indication of
weakening of fascist leadership the
storm will break. The clouds have al
ready gathered.
1T is reported that even big business
/ is about to drop the black shirts.
The capitalist press now openly ad-
mits that it was heavy industry that
originally paid the fascist bills. The
recent strike in Milan convinced the
big plutes that the class-collaDoration
schemes of the fascist, backed by the
dagger, are no longer uo1e TO hold the
workers in leash. So big business be-
gins to look around for new servants.
Its eyes rest on the liberals. They will
be the next agents of capitalism,
which will try to function in the guise
of democracy. But this democracy
will be as much of fake as the spuri-
Gus brand we have in the United
States.
THE long night of terror thru which
4 the Italian workers have passed is
not yet over. To use a common
phrase: "The worst is yet to come.
There will be neither democracy nor
peace in Italy until the workers over
hrow the capitalist system which

is needs. The workeIB will establish

The majority, even tho it is called
dictatorship. There are stormy days
ahead for Italy, hut out of this storm
will come the calm of peace, when cap

The worse for the bible, says the anti

have decided to make the alleged
word of god to conform to the very
