surplus values stolen from the work
ers. The Communists are denounced
as prophets of violence, yet it can be
easily proved that their program is
the only one that leads to universal
and lasting peace, because it goes to
the root of the causes of war and pro-
poses to abolish the cause, which is
capitalism.
MORALITY is very much a matter
A'A of time and geography like right
and wrong. A Christadelphian defended
Jehovah of the old testament for or
dering his once favored children of
Israel to dispose of their male cap
tives but to keep the virgins for the
good of Israel, on the ground that the
need for an increase in the population
justified the edict. It was admitted
that such conduct on his part today
would be considered very bad man
ners. In olden days the illegitimate
progeny of kings were more numerous
than their legal offspring and usually
more intelligent. | believe it was one
of the Plantaganets of England who
said, "A kings bastard is a houses
pride"
TIMES have changed and so have
Amorals. Thus we have Mrs. Guine-
we've Sinclair Gould, widow of the
late George ]. Gould, under a social
cloud because she lived in France for
several years with the deceased mil
lionaire, while the legal wife lived
elsewhere. Mrs. Gould has now mar
ried a Viscount Funsford. which trans
forms her into a baroness or some
thing of the kind. The Viscount will
transport her to London. American
society is quite curious to know
whether British royalty will receive
the ex-concubine or not.
WE are not in the least concerned
w with the morals of those parasites.
What we would like to know is, how
long are the working class going to
let lot of useless human cattle live
on their backs and spend their money
in riotous luxury? Gould could afford
to support more wives than the Sui
tan of Turkey, but most of the slaves
who supplied him with the money to
keep them. could not even support
one in ordinary decency. This is how

THE original interrupter found this

too much for his emotions. Wordless-

from his lowly pulpit, grabbed his

FASCISTS USHER
IN new REIGN
OF VIOLENCE
Destroy Headquarters Of
Catholic Clubs

PARIS, July 30.-The ordering OF
an American newspaper correspond
ent from Italy, the attack on Signor
Orlando and the smashing up Of sew
eral catholic clubs, mark the latest
phases of the deterioration Of the fas.
cist organization.
Even papers formerly pro-fascist
are now changing their policy despite
the immediate risks that a change of
front involve But it is apparent that
the power of fascism is on the decline
and the trimmers who rode the storm
one way are now going to ride it in
the opposite direction.
Originally Atheists.
1t is evident that Mussolini is un-
able to control his forces or else that
HIS entente with the Vatican is i'm
paired 1t should not be forgotten
that the original fascist tools of CAPT
talism, Mussolini included, had no
more use for catholicism than they
had for masonry, and that the official
alliance with the catholic church was
due to the need of such conserva-
tive body to aid the armed forces of
fascism in breaking down the work
ing class organizations and isolating
them from Communist influence.
Smashing Things Up.
In this period of fascist disintegra-
ton the irresponsible elements in the
fascist organization are wreaking
vengeance unfortunately knowing
that the day is approaching when
their bodies are just as liable as not
to decorate lamp posts.
American correspondents in Italy
are said not to be at all pleased with
the conduct of U. S. ambassador
Fletcher They feel that he has been
too willing to carry out the demands
Of Mussolini in seeking to put a
muffler on the correspondents It is
the opinion of those correspondents
that a little pressure from the am
bassador would cause Mussolini to
think twice before ordering the ex-
pulsion of an American reporter.
Vatican crIticizes 5enito.
The offlcila organ of the vatican ap-
peared with mild criticism of recent
fascist violence. Catholic clubs were
broken into and the Offices of catholic
deputies raided 1t was learned that
the leaders in those attacks were COM
missaries of public safety. Not only
did the blackshirts destroy ordinary
furniture but they burned crucifxes,
pictures of the sacred heart and of the
pope.
The leading papers in Italy have
been warned that any further criti-
cism of the fascist dictatorship will be
severely punished The general belief
is that fascism fears another and
more severe crisis than any it has
hitherto undergone.

Workers Starved Into Army.
After about half an hours worth of
picturing the fiowery side of soldiers
! life he contrasted it to the miserable
| condition of the workers. He said:
IF you are out of a job you don't
know where your next meal is coming
from. If you do work you work long
hours, and in stuffy room. You ride
in crowded subways to work, You
have to worry about rent. And if you
do work then very likely you are
praying that you get a weeks vaca-
ton without pay. Look how different
it is if you join U.S."
This is a picture of the workers
life given by an army officer in an eff
fort to draw some fools into the
army.
The above is only one of the many
means our government is employing
in the feverish recruiting efforts. The
other day several chorus girls from
the Ziegfeld Follies dressed, Of
course, in bathing suits, came out on
Times Square and City Hall Square
in an effort to vamp some fool young
workers into the army.
If in addition to the feverish re-
cruiting efforts of the government you
consider the recent mobilization day,
the maneuvers in the Pacific ocean,
the increased ornaments both of the
army and navy, then you realize that
there is something doing.
Predicts War Soon.
Here is how one of the speakers at
the above meeting put it: True, :"
said he, "a war is possible, even prob
able, but then that is thing we must
always expect. But then you have an
advantage also (if you join the army
the others who will be drafted and
will be green, while you will be ex-
perienced. You know what We say is
no bunk. Uncle Sam would not al
low us to promise you anything we
would not do"
Yes it is bandists, gangsters and
strike breakers that the army pre-
pares for peace" time; cannon fod-
der for war times, and as the officer
put it war must be expected and most
likely very soon.
The Young Workers League and
Workers Party with their propaganda
might not be able to stop the war, but
when the soldiers in the next wal
which is going to be much more
bloody than the last, will begin to
think, then all of the bloody imperial
lists, who are planning that slaughter
in order to make more profits, are 60
ing to land the same place the Rus
sian car and capitalists landed.
