and the products thereof must belong
10 the workers, But socialists all over
the world are supporters OF capitalism.
DRINCESS ASTRID Of Sweden mar
1 ried Prince Leopold Of Belgium
and the marriage ceremony was per-
formed In Sweden by the socialist
mayor of Stockholm. Socialists do
not even seem to be good republicans.
The princess Is a protestant Of some
brand and the prince is catholic, so
before the royal pair can share the
royal couch the pope must sprinkle
holy water on them, and incidentally
get rakeoff. Representatives Of all
the solvent European monarchies
were present at the wedding cere-
mony, including Mrs. William Philips,
wife Of the American ambassador, who.
we are told, wore only pearls" Now
that their princenngs are married OF
the workers of Sweden and Belgium
should sleep easy.
MYTH the Cantonese troops sweep
W ing up from the south and the
armies Of Gen. Feng moving in from
the west it looks as if there would
be nothing left Of the old imperialist
armies of China in few weeks ex-
ceDt whatever Chang Tso-hn can
snatch from the blaze. The Komin-
shun, founded by Sun Vat Sen, the
great Chinese liberator, which was re-
ported smashed several times during
he past few years by the capitalist
press, now stands in fair way of get
ting complete control of China. When
that day comes the imperialists of the
world will not rejoice. America and
Japan have already given indications
that they win not stand in the way Of
Chinese unity. They better not. Eng
land is in the soup and cannot undo
the blunders committed by her blood
thirsty rulers. It was good fun shoot
ing the Chinese while they were
armed only with bamboo sticks. But
a Chinaman with gun is about as
deadly as anything we can think of.

world thru its disgraceful kowtowing
to Nthe Queen OF Roumania refused
Nine. Kollontai, Soviet ambassadors
to Mexico, permission to visit this
country on her way to her post. This
is not surprising. Our ruling classes
are so conscious of their thievery that
they fear the presence of the repre-
sentative Of country where the work
ers have thrown OF the yoke of sIav-
cry might inspire their own slaves to
go and do likewise. Nevertheless. the
United States will be obliged to recog-
nize the Soviet Union and our bour-
geoisie must stand the humiliation of
seeing the red flag over the Soviet
embassy in Washington one Of these
days.
THlRTY-NINE years ago last Thurs
L day four labor leaders were hanged
in Chicago because Of their activity
in pushing the eight-hour day move
ment. An excellent story about this
tragedy appears on another page. The
two men who were murdered in 1897
had nothing in common with the labor
takers OF today. who spend more time
helping the employers rob the workers
than they spend organizing the work
ing class. There is nothing in COM
mon between the Haymarket martyrs
and men like William Green, John L.
Lewis and their kind.
A PICTURE OF two old people lays
4 in front of me. Harry ]. Kane,
81, and his wife. 60. were thrown out
on the cold streets because they could
not pay rent. No doubt they produced
plenty Of surplus value in their life
time, but evidently they cid not know
enough to get others to work for
