of ocean will soon be as unevent-
full as the crossing of an ocean liner.
Science and human ingenuity and
courage are gradually conquering the
forces of nature which have been in
combat with man since and before
the dawn Of history. Unfortunately
human inventiveness is not always
harnessed to constructive work, but to
the work of destruction. Airplane
feats in these days are chiefly for
the purpose of developing the de-
structive forces of capitalist powers.
THE first thot that strikes the mind
of the militarist, after reading of
the achievements of Lindbergh, Cham
berlin, Levine and Byrd and his com
rades is the possibility of dropping
bombs from planes on cities, distant
thousands of miles. There is not the
slightest doubt that such bombings
will be feasible within comparatively
few years. Instead of utilizing air
transport to bring the peoples of the
world closer together our ruling
classes will use every new improve
ment in flying machines to make wars
more destructive. This is good ar
gument to give a worker who is op-
posed to Communism because he be-
lieves that it means war.
WHILE American flying machines
w are romping in the air
over two mighty oceans, American
admirals are growing across Geneva
tables at British admirals. japanese
admirals watch and listen and get a
word in, once in while. The Japan
ese have not much love for either
the British or the Americans. Both
have committed hostile acts against
them, the British in dropping the
Anglo-Japanese alliance at the be-
hest of the Americans and the Ameri-
cans in passing the anti-Japanese ex-
clusion act.
THE three powers are jockeying for
position and as the Unitad- STAKES
and England are the chief rivals, the
willy Japanese statesmen are availing
themselves of the opportunity to get
something out of the squabble. Moth
ing will come out of this conference
except more warships. The New
York World is very anxious to make
it appear that progress is being made,
The World wants to see united
front of imperialism, this is real
league of nations attitude, a united
imperialism would be better able to
wage war on the Soviet Union than
a divided Imperialism. But there is
no indication that the imperialists
can reach an accord just now. Still
It is not wise to lay down any hard
and fast rule in this respect. 1t would
create a feeling of false security
which would be very dangerous.
sN an interview with an English
= correspondent a few days ago,
Tchitcherin, foreign minister of the
U.S.S.R. expressed his conviction that
there was little likelihood of peace be-
tween his country and Great Britain
in the near future. The Briton ques-
toned him about Communist propa-
ganda alleged to have been sent out
thru Soviet embassies. Tchitcherin
denied the charge, but turned the
tables on his interrogation by citing
half a dozen instances of where
British consuls, ministers and am
bassadors organized and financed
armed revolts against the Soviet
Union.
DOLAND is not sincere in its pro-
fessions of a desire for peace with
the u. S. S. R. Tchitcherin said. As
proof of this he cited the case of the
murderer of the Soviet Minister Vol
koff, whose life sentence was com
muted by the Polish authorities &c
Is years and who is receiving large
sums of money in prison from Po-
lish admirers, who honor him for the
murder of to- Soviet Minister. The
Soviet chief stated that the youthful
murderer will be a rich man wher
he is released and this will be an in.
