nEFUSAL of the Norwegian govern
IN ment to grant amnesty to the i'm
prisoned Communists may result in a
general strike according to news dis
patches from Oslo, formerly Chris
tiana. The trade union leaders act.
ing under pressure from the rank and
file, have warned the government that
unless the Communists are released
labor win down tools. The yellow So
cialist press was recently ehortling

how to win the masses to their side.
THE continued existence Of DR.. Sun
| Vat Sen is seriously embarrass-
ing the capitalist powers, The wish
that he were dead is father to the
thot which is partly responsible for
tales of his demise, and other tales of
serious Illness The latest complica-
ton from which we are told Sun is
suffering is an abscess on his liver
The capitalist reporter who concocted
the liver story says that unless Sun is
operated on he will die Sun refuses
to permit an operation. Therefore
he win die. Everything is quite logi
CAL except the facts.
THE letters from Theodore Roose-
| welt to Henry Cabot Lodge now
running in several papers, reveal the
former as shallow time-serving poll
tician. There Is no redeeming feature
in the correspondence TEDDY" was
en- accomplished mountebank tho not
so nauseating hypocrite as his com
petitor Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt's
advice to Lodge was to stick to the
G. o. P. machine, even while differing
with it, Lodge saw in Roosevelt the
makings Of a good demagogue and
kept his eye on him, while Roosevelt
needed Lodges erudition and political
sagacity. They made good team;

that Teddy" was only addressing the
votes. - 1t

Ambassador Buchanan, stationed in
Petrograd NOW Leningrad) at the
time proved conclusively that it was
Britain's revolution. The car was go
ing TO make peace with the Germans
2 so J. Bull pulled his STUFF. But he
did not keep his name on the revolu.
ton very long. Before long Lenin put
his John Hancock on II. or course
Kerensky has kick coming and so
has the car df he could only kick
but Kerensky is lucky that he still
has his head on his shoulders.
DY the way what has happened TO
- once rather well known Hell
an Mariar Dawes? He made a lot of
noise during the election period and II
was epected that he would play oppo-
site to Calvin Coolidge in the White
House during the next four years.
Dawes supplying the fireworks and
Calvin the silence. Surely the gen.
eral did not use up all his obscenity
during the election fight!
