WILBUR DEMANDS
LARGER NAVY TO
SAVE CAPITALISM
FavOrs Intervention in
Latin America, China

Making extensive use of the "red
bogy," Secretary of Navy, Curtis d.
Wilbur, made a plea for a larger army
and navy, at the forty-first annual
Lincoln dinner of the Republican
Club, held at the Waldorf Saturday
night. American interests in Latin
America and China were offered as
another justification for a strong
army and navy.
Hates NatiOnalists.
Secretary Wilbur referred to the
nationalist uprisings. in China, and the
attempt on the part of the Sacasa
government in Nicaragua, as well as
the Mexican attempt to levy a tax
on American oil companies draining
away the national wealth of that
country, as "Bolshevism."

He feared he said, that the supres-
sion of the Knights of Columbus re-

Of the third international was already
clutching at the heart of our sister
republic in the South" and fervently
committed himself to the policy Of
''being strong" in order TO maintain
reactionary (Wilbur called them
'free") governments against the pos
sibility of a world revolution.
He quoted a Nicaraguan official,
one of the puppets set up by the
United States in 1925. as saying that
the peace and order Of Nicaragua de-
ponds upon the American flag.

Citing this as an illustration, Sec

American flag means in Nicaragua

there just as it did in 1918. That's
what the American flag means in
Haiti, peace and an opportunity for
the people to work. That's what it

Reverting to Communism, Secre-
tary Wilbur warned the Republican
Club not to take Communism too
lightly. eve felt" he said, that by

Empty House Greets A.
Beckerman When Local
Union Installs Officers

Abraham Beckerman and Harry
Cohen spoke before a small crowd
at the installation meeting of the
Knee Pants Makers Union.
The scheme to keep up the stop
page in the smaller shops is a trick
of Beckerman to take away their
trade and deliver the work to the big
manufacturers with whom he made
deal at the price of the workers.
The reaction to Beckerman was
shown by the reception that Becker
man and Harry Cohen received at
the installation meeting of the
Knee Pants Makers Local 10 last
Wednesday night.
After the big play-up of their
machine TO fool the members TO the
installation meeting, not more than
several hundred came, and lift the
hall as soon as Cohen and Becker
man appeared.

Newbold boasts of the splendid Off

POLICE BREAK UP
BOXMAKER STRIKE
ALWAYS AID BOSS
Scabs Not Allowed to
Listen to Pickets

(FP)-The paper box makers
strike has been called off after 49,
weeks struggle. Two thousand union
members are back on the job without
wage agreement. Three hundred
others are in shops that settled with
the union earlier in the strike.
Police brutality broke the strike
said Manager Fred Caiola, in a state
ment to the Federated Press.
1--WE could win against the manu-
facturers," said Caiola, but not
against the entire police department
of New York City. The police Tough
US in three ways:
Scsb Couldn't Quit.
First, by putting uniformed of
ficer on every scab wagon, before
there was any thought Of violence.
The cop prevented the strikebreaker
driver from listening to the pickets,
If the driver stopped to listen the
cop bawled: Hey, what are you
doing; drive onp Whenever the driv-
ers had the chance to listen to the
pickets they almost always quite the
Job and. often Joined the union.
Wholesale arrests were another
method of breaking the strike. They
arrested some.50 strikers in all. Bail
ing these men out bankrupted our
treasury. In nearly every case the
strikers were eventually discharged
but the bondsman got their $50 COM
mission--and SO OF $1,000, the usual
bail, kept draining our resources.
Rode Through Pickets.
Brutality was the third strike
breaking method. Mounted police
rode into pickets. Patrolmen merci-
lessly dubbed them. It was impos-
sible to maintain picket line. Mayor
Walker promised TO investigate the
matter but beyond the removal of a
couple Of policemen virtually nothing
was done"
Advance Police Protection.
Caiola tells how the manufacturers
arranged for police Cooperation" in
advance. They gave the game away
in their trade organ "The Shears"
The October issue Of "The Shears
tells of the splendid cooperation" the
police were giving the employers,
The joke consisted in this: that the
strike did not start till the following
day, October 3. The strike had
originally been set for several days
earlier, and the "Shears" going to
press at that time assumed that the
strike would be in existence before
its appearance, so spoke in the past

upon the question of wages. What
the industry needs is to think more
of production costs in the broader
sense. Although wages have been
the largest single item in these costs,
it is unsound to treat wages and pro-
duction costs as synonymous and in
Interchangeable terms. Efficiency, both
in labor and in management, must be
given greater weight than too many
producers have been willing to accord
it in the past"
No Strike Preparation.
Though the wage negotiators rep
resenting the union go TO the con-
ference pledged to resist wage cuts,
lewis has made no attempt whatever
70 prepare for the strike, which is
the unions only effective argument
against determined stand for lower
wages, such as the operators meeting
last month in Toledo decided upon.
During the last three years the
union membership, instead OF being
recruited, as been allowed to dwindle
away, as figures given officially in
the secretary treasurer's report to
the convention show, so that the
union has only about two-thirds the
man power it controlled when the
Jacksonville agreement was signed.
Lewis Misnses Money.
The diminution, progressiyes at the
convention pointed out, was due prin-
cipally to Lewis betrayal Of the West
Virginia and Connelsville miners in
their last strike, and to his policy Of
spending all the organization finan-
ces for maintaining his international
organizers as political ward bosses in
unionized territory, instead of for
organization work in the non-union
territories.
UnOrganized Must Strike.
Since sixty-five per cent Of the
coal produced IN the United States
comes from non-union mines, the
miucrs' chance &c win a real strike
depends upon these unorganized
miners walking out with the union
miners. If a strike does come the
progressives plan to act on their own
initiative to bring them out, in spite
of the lack of preliminary. propa-
ganda in these fields by the official
family OF the U. NJ, w. A.. and prob.

Defeat Offensive This
Spring of Imperialists
Against Chinese Labor
By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

II HE Transport Chaumont, with
i 1900 marines aboard, contin-
ues on its way westward across the
Pacific from Honolulu to tn e
Orient, with Shanghai, China, as
its destination.
Half-page pictures of the war
ship, as it sailed from San Diego,
California, recently with a full
passenger list" of cannon fodder,
appear in the Sunday papers. They
are accompanied with the latest
war zone pictures from China and
Nicaragua, including reproductions
of French and British battlesfnps
at anchor in the Harbor of Shang-
hal.
These are ominous events. When
the killing starts on a large scale
in China the American warlords
are planning to be on the job in
full force. GThey will not delay as
in the last world war.
The whole war program Of the
impcrialist powers consists Of a
rapid concentration Of their war
machines in the Far East. In this
the United States emulates, if it
does not keep pace, with Great
Britain. There is no doubt that a
definite program has been care
fully mapped and is being studi-
ously carried out.
The Sunday Worker, Of Great
Britain, points out that England's
plan is for the British army, sup
ported by naval forces, to advance
up the Hangtse River to Chekiang,
Marking, Wuchu, Kiukang and the
new capital, Wuchang, of the Cam
tonese government. But this ad-
vance, according to reports from
Pekin, center Of the imperialist
kept tyranny of Chang Tso Lin, will
not take place until the spring.
Owing to climatic conditions the
Yangtse River is too shallow in
winter to permit large warships
traverspg its length up to Han
kow.
The next stage Of the plans Of
British imperialism, in which
American dollar diplomacy"
shares energetically, is to provoke
an incident" in Shanghai. This
can be done very easily, according
to the best methods of the Amer
lean "frame-up." 1t will not be
very difficult to get some one to
take shot at missionary, man
or woman, preferably the latter.
If the intended victim is killed, so
much the better. The headlines
will be all the bigger in the press
back home, making it easier to fan
the war fury into flames.
American jingoes, headed by
Curtis D. Wilbur, secretary of the
navy, seized upon the birthday an
niversary of Abraham Lincoln, to
make propaganda for the impend-
ing war.

Boil SHEVIKS WIN,
SAYS KEYSERLING
IN SAD LECTURE
East Going Communist
Menacing West

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-The world is
facing new dark age, struggle
between culture and unculture, be-
tween Eastern civilization and West
ern civilization, declared Count Her
mann Keyserling, famous German
philosopher and scholar in a lecture
at Vienna.
Prof. Keyserling is author of num-
erous works in scientific magazines
since the war, in which he takes a
pessimistic view Of the ability OF
Europe to stabilize permanently and
continue the capitalist system, which
he regards as synonymous with civil
zation.
breads Awakened Asia.
Keyserling said in his lecture; That
he has fears regarding the colored
race: that the white man reached his
heights during the world war since
which the colored tide has been rapid
ly rising.
He said that the East is becoming
more and more Bolshevized, that a
tremendous epoch is dawning similar
to one in the past and that there will
be great migrations.
80 Holy Profits"
''To maintain and safeguard the
sacred fire of the spirit and the in
tellect through the long black night
that confronts humanity is the real
task of Europe, he said.
A community Of culture plays a
vaster greater role in history than
racial blood relationships, he said.
Every people, he said, "will even
tually so back more and more to the
original traits of character peculiar
to it. The East will become more
Eastern and the West will become
more Western"
Americans Primitive.
The so-called American type Of
man and women, he declared, will be-
come even more primitive and more
youthful making the contrast to
Europe still greater.
Reports Of the professors lecture
do not explain how he coordinates his
theory of the growing differences
between peoples with the well known
facts of the adoption Of industrialism
by India, Japan and China.

Wilbur followed carefully in the
footsteps Of President Coolidge and
Secretary Of State Kellogg, and
raised the threat Of Communism as
an excuse for developing a STRONG
army and strong navy, so that if
world revolt materialized we could
see to it that free government was
maintained" That ought to make
the workers Of Nicaragua, as we'll
as those China, laugh outright.
Every semblAnce Of political tree
dom has been suppressed in Mica
ragua, while only the valiant strug-
gle Of the Cantonese government
safeguards the freedom of the peo-
pies Of that section Of China that
mas been liberated from the grip of
the foreign invader.
Secretary Wilbur defends the
sending of marines to China and
Nicaragua. That is part of his job.
The press Of the Soviet Union,
however, speaking for labor in the
First Workers Republics, shows
that it has no illusions about what
is going on in the Orient. 1t points
out that the increased British naval
forces being sent to Shanghai is
merely completion of the provo
cation on a grand scale that is be-
ing directed against Hankow and
the other Yangtse towns, with the
deliberate and eold-blooded aim of
obtaining an excuse for naval at
tack upon the Cantonese.
Washington and London have
been trying to feed the Cantonese
with a multitude Of diplomatic
maneuvers, trying to hold the ad-
vancing Cantonese armies in check
until sufficient ships Of war and
soldiers were modified in the
neighborhood Of Shanghai to open
up the attack.
British labor is on the alert.
Masses demanding Hands Off
China" gather in historic Trafal-
gar Square in London. Appeals are
distributed to the soldiers sent
aboard ship for the long journey
10 the East.
In the United States the workers
still remain quiescent. Altho the
mass meetings already held in pro-
test by the Workers (Communist)
Party have been we'll attended, no
great sections of the working class
have as yet been drawn into ac-
ton. The issue must be raised in
thousands of local labor unions and
farmers organizations.
The working class must be
aroused against the pending war
this spring by imperialism in its
effort to crush the Chinese revolu-
ton. This is the important and
pressing task of the miIitants of
labor in this hour Of the gathering
storm.
