"WcH, at least can try!' offer

BANK INSPECTORS NEGLIGENT

Further investigation into the circumstances sur
rounding the closing of the Farmers and Merchants
bank at Imperial, indicates appalling lack of eff

which cost innocent depositors of the bank several
thousand dollars.
From reliable it is learned that the repre-
sentatves of the state banking department arrived in
the valley on the morning train from Los Angeles, on
October 10. Instead of leaving the train at Imperial
and taking steps to prevent the bank from being OPEN
ed, the state men came on to Ell Cenro engaged hotel
rooms, had their breakfasts and proceeded up to I'M
perial only to find that the bank-whch opened at
ocock-had been doing business for better than half
hour.
The state evidently were of the opinion that
the bank opened its at 10 o'clock but that does
not excuse their negligence 1t their business to
ascertain just when the bank accustomed to open
and take immediate steps to prevent it from opening
at all.
There were three in the party, are informed,
and certainly one could have to Ell Centre to
make necessary arrangements if they preferred put

GIN THE FOOTSTEPS OF
CHANG TSO-LIN"
The "Pravada' on the Raid on the "Arcos.'

The "Pravada" the Raid the "ArcOs.'
Moscow, 14th May 1927
THE leading article of the "Pravda' this morning
entitled, "In the Footsteps of Chang Tso-lin,"
points out that the events in "Asatic" Picking have
repeated themselves in a town with a thousand
years of European" culture. The laurels of the
bandit Chang Tso-lin, declares the 'Pravda," have
been captured by Joynson-Hcks.
The connection of the raid with the general in
tensfcation of the international situation and the
events in China is beyond question. The raid the
"Arcos" is nothing but link in the chain of Cham
berlain's provocative game in the swash-buckling
policy of sabre-rattling which might have such ia
tai consequences for the peace of the world. The
British imperialists provoking and challenging
the Soviet Union. The provocation in Moorgate
Street perpetrated because the provocation in
Picking had failed in its object The Conservatives
are not satisfied with the hanging expedition to
China alone. They doing their utmost to pro-
woke artificial conflict between Great Britain
and the Soviet Union although neither the people of
Great Britain nor the people of the Soviet Union
are interested in such conflict The conservative
robbers have not been able to think Of any half
way reasonable grounds for their action The only
excuse is that search is being made for
document" other. This excuse could be used to
justify any sort of meanness. If the police spies
have been given instructions to find documents then
they would certainly find them, for such things as
forgeries are not unknown to the world.
It is clear that the raid had been carefully pre-
pared According to the reports of the British press
many conservative leaders knew previously of the
intended raid. The raid proceeded by a furious
anti-Sovet campaign the part of the reactionary
press. The events in London clearly show the diff
ference between the robber policy of British inn
eerialism and the peaceful policy Of the Soviet
Union, the state Of the workers. We declares the
"Pravda," conclude treaties of peace and non-ag-
gression; they, military conventions and criminal
military blocks. We in favor of better life
for the workers of all countries; they suppress the
Working Class Movement and pass anti-trade union
laws. We are in favor of the emancipation of the
oppressed peoples; they charge the international sit
uation with explosives. We want peaceful trade
lations, and they do their utmost to undermine this
peaceful work with their bandit raids. We are in
favor of policy of consolidation Of friendly rela-
TONS and they step by step preparing break

PHRASES VERSUS ACTION IN THE SOCIALIST MOVEMENT

or work on Sunday when the union
does not permit? No. For that they
would have a fine Of only SIS and no
suspension. Their "crime" consists
of refusing to attend the well known
protest meetings against Communist
leadership in the trade unions. That
is not all. For the same and similar
Grimes" something like Is other we'll
known members were fined and sus-
pended, so that Shiplakoff finds it
quite comfortable to attack these in
dividual's opinions without giving
them chance to answer. That is
only a small fraction of what is real
~ going on in the Pocketbook Work

anyone within the socialist party or
any other place where socialists have
leadership get the floor on any ques-
ton and speak a little different from
their point of view and he will find
that every minute there will be a
point Of order, point of enlighten-
ment, objection, time limit, ETC., and
keep it up until with parliamentary
tricks stop the speaker from express
ing his view.
l mentioned above that at the
Young Peoples Socialist Leagues
conventions resolutions are passed

are they doing against the miserable
exploitation of our youth in the cot

order to organize youth against the
impending world war? I would not
be out of order to ask what are they
doing outside of hiking, running
dances land giving loving cups for
the best Charleston dance) and dis
cussing current events at their meet
ings? If you cannot do anything else,
then why call yourself socialist or
ganization?
Now it seems to me that the sooner
the workers who are still in the So
cialist party and the Young Peoples
Socialist League will realize that
beautiful and revolutionary phrase
ology are meaningless unless followed
by deeds the sooner these workers
will help build the Workers Party and
the Young Workers League, which
today embodies the real immediate

working class, ana that way be on the
right road - our final emancipation.

BY LOLEK.

ALMOST five years I spent as an ac-
"A tive member of the Young Peoples
Socialist League and the socialist
party, and not until recently did I
realize that my place was not in the
socialist party. Nay! Not only mine,
but no honest worker who thinks for
himself can belong in the above men
toned party It is true that quite
a few sincere workers still belong
there, but these workers and Yipsels
still fall for the beautiful phraseology
Of the socialist leaders. For do not
these leaders always speak of demo-
cracy, freedom Of speech, trade unity,
etc? Does not the Young Peoples
Socialist League at every one of its
conventions pass resolutions against
the Citizens Military Training Camps,
Boy Scouts and other similar organ
izations? Does not the Y P. S. l..
go in favor Of organizing youth mot
only working YOUTH against war?
Yes, they pass resolutions and speak
on these questions, but the truth is
that their actions whenever they do
act) are contrary to their resolutions.
And we as workers must all under
stand that it is actions that count and
not resolutions. In this respect the
socialist party is just like the CAPT
talist system, full of contradictions.
Let me show you some Of these con-
tradictions.
During the city elections, Norman
Thomas, one Of their main leaders,
used some of the strongest words in
condemnation of Matthew Vol, yet
Beckerman, Cahan, Shiplakoff, ETC.,
find nothing wrong in working in con-
junction with Woll against the pro-
gressive elements in the trade unions.
Not only do they cooperate with
Vol, but defend him against the at
tacks of the rank and file in their re-
spective unions as did Shiplakoff at
a recent meeting Of the Pocketbook
Workers. They cannot see the con-
tradiction of passing resolutions in
favor of recognition of Soviet Russia
and at the same time boosting and
defending Kerensky during his stay
in the United States. In the unions
they find that its quite within their
democratic understanding to fine and
suspend members for fighting for
progressivism. In the Pocketbook
Workers Union, where Shiplakoff is

Lenov's Badgers, certainly the out
standing novel of 1925, takes very
different conflict for its theme: the
conflict of town and country. Deal
! ing in particular with the life Of two
young peasant lads, Simeon and Pavel,
who come to Moscow and work there
until the outbreak of war, its general
theme is the innate antagonisms be-
tween the village and the town, espe-
cially as accentuated and intensified
during the period of civil war and
grain acquisitions. Partly perhaps by
reason Of temperament, Leonov paints
/ the struggle in sombre colors (there
is the very smell Of decay in his pic
ture Of Moscow back-street life in pre-
war days. and with the aid Of re-
markably pictorial style, by means of
which nature itself is made to play
an almost living part in the story, he
brings home all the blind misery and
inarticulate despair of the village
when confronted by the mysterious
and unknown, instinctively dreaded
forces Of the town. The peasant mind
is revealed with remarkable and SYM
pathetic insight, and almost one feels
that Leonov is at heart on the side
Of the village. But for him also the
immediate, and even the ultimate re-
suit Of the conflict is indubitable, the
fate of the village is memorable, and
