ABLE ADDRESS
is DELIVERED
BY DIST. ATTY,
Justin W. Harding De-
clares People Are Behind
Democratic Government

The Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution of the United
Staies were not simply announced,
thy were won by the people who
believed in the principles con
tanned in those documents, de-
elared United States District AT
torney Justin w Harding at the
patriotic exercises held at the
Palace Theatre yesterday morning.
He emphasized the fact that the
mere documents would mean moth.
ing If it were not for the prin.
ciples which are behind them.
and which are believed in by the
majority of the people
The history of America was
summarized in the talk and the
fact that the constitution was not
firmly established and proved un.
til after the Civil War, becau3e
until then it had no great tost
was. brought out Also that one
of the first functions of a gov
ernment is the security of that
government. This was stressed by
Mr.. Harding. The talk was splen-
didly delivered and was received
enthusiastically by a good sized
audience
Reads Declaration
The EXERCISES were brief but
most appropriate. Anita Garnick
read the Declaration of Indepen-
dence excellently in clear, easily
understood voice. Both Mr.. Hard
ing and Miss Garnick were. pre-
sented by H. l.. Faulkner. Chair
man, with a few appropriate re-
marks. Mr.. Faulkner prefaced his
introduction of Mr. Harding by a
short talk, in which he said that
America would never take the
place among nations to which she
is entitled until there was true
patriotism among the people who
live within her borders. Too many
people, he said, think of Christmas
as a day of feast and of pres
ents, and of the Fourth of July
as day of games, contests and
noise making, and forget the true
significance of the celebration
Attention was called to the World
war which was finished less than
ten years ago. and the fact that
on the platform officers from the
German navy, which was "our for
at that time. American naval and
army officers were sitting side
by side in peace"
The Juneau City Band played
several selections including the
Star Spangled Banner and closing
with America which was sung By
the audience.

in Cologne was read to the congress

Association for the Advancement of
Colored People. Pickens reported on
the Brussels conference of the
League in February-the first such
meeting of delegates from oppressed
peoples. Pickens declared "that a

far sounder basis for cooperation
among men than is similarity of

Mora Cnaaks
Richard Moose, organizer for the
American Negro Labor Congress,
pointed out that most American Ne

organization in trade unions. He cri-
ticized the congress for not delving
deeply enough into colored workers
problems. He proposed alliance with
other groups working against imper-
ialism.
"The Negro began to learn class
consciousness as we'll as race con-

ton "to the Soviet government OF
Russia for it's liberal attitude toward
the colored races and for the help
which it has extended to them from

chosen to work toward establishing a
permanent and continuously function

Utah Senator Flags US.
Dictatorship in Haiti;
Calls for Evacuation

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 29.-De-
claring that "if the voice of Haiti
could be heard it would be $3.50 in
favor United States withdrawal, :"
Senator William H. King of Utah
characterized American occupation of
the island republic as force" sup
ression" and as an aid Sin breaking
down the confidence that the South
American and the Central American
nations have in the United States"
"By secret treaties and by loans,
with their expected future obliga-
tions," King said, "the United States
has sealed Haiti's subjugation for the
next forty years" The senator called
upon the United States government
to restore to the Haitians the indie
pendence taken from them by the
American banks supported by the
United States marines and American
customs officials.
Haiti lost it's independence as a re-
suit of occupation by the United
States forces during the Wilson ad-
ministration, in 1915. The occupation
came after series Of futile diplo-
matte attempts to force the Haitians
to accept the loans of a group of New
York banks whose capital was to he
secured by customs receipts. The
Haitians failing to fall into this trap,
the marines were introduced and the
loans forcibly effected while Europe's
attention was distracted by the war.

English Workers Starve
AS Duchesses Roll Past;
Army of Voorhees, Cross

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The Board of
Works has decided to tear up Pic
cadilly to renew the multifarious
pipes beneath to relay the street COM
pletely. Traffic is to be diverted, the
familiar buses are to use the Mall.
The News Spreads.
The word has percolated thruout
Great Britain. The hopes of the
gigantic army of the voorhees, rose as
they heard of the thousands of men
wanted to ply the hammer and drill
on the concrete of far famed Picca-
dilly. They moved in on London this
voorhees,, hopeful army; young men,
middle aged men, elderly men in
shabby clothes, men who had lived
in trenches, fought in No Mans Land,
cheered to the echo and loaded with
decorations when the war was over.
At six o'clock in the morning the
famous street was filled with the
army. They had spent the night in
the parks, Drawing the damp and cold
of an English summer night, while
the aristocracy slept But they rose
with hope. Just seven men were
taken on to augment the force that
opened the work, the regulars. The
work goes OH, the hammers ring, the
compressed air drill grouches and
grunts, the jobless stand by, hungry
and heartsick, unwashed, penniless,
clothes crushed with many days sleep
ing in woods and outhouses; shoes
dusty with the tale of long miles on
country roads.
Army OF Jobless Recedes.
Today the army is dwindling. The
silk hat can find room to pass, the
duchess has space for her daily exer-
else; many of the army slept on the
embankment last night under the
shadow of the Cecil and the Savoy.
The old men are pathetic sights as
they lean YEARLY against the barri-
cades. 81 haven't worked for year.

of the others are worse off than l."
A Hand Feeds the Poor.
The army dwindles slowly, the rich
go about as usual. A sister of the
pavement stops and regards a group
of travel stained men, speaking the
tongue Of Wales. She smiles across
weary face and puts her hand into
torn handbag. She holds out a
silver coin to one, says a word in
welsh and moves on.

congress a demand that actual self

republic. Withdrawal of all U. S.

cept regularly accredited diplomatic
or consular representatives was de-
manded likewise.
West Indians were urged "to begin

Crouch Tells of China
Revolution to Packed
Middle Western Halls

'The resignation of Chang Kai-
shell marks new stage in the rapidly
changing Chinese revolution involv-
ing probably a rapproachment be-
tween the Hankow and Marking gov
ernments" in the opinion of Paul
Crouch, rebel ex-soldier whose adj
dresses under the slogan of Hands
Off China have stirred audiences
wherever he has spoken.
Village Meetings Packed.
Crouch, who knows American i'm
perialism from the point of view of a
soldier detailed to an American colony
in the Far East, is speaking under
the auspices Of the All-American An
ti-Imeprialist League Omitted States
Section). He is now in Minnesota
from whence he will proceed to Chi
cago and points east. The extraor-
dinarily large attendance even in
small towns, like Great Falls and
Plentywood, Montana, indicate that
the mass of the American people sym
pathize with the Chinese revolution
and want the withdrawal of United
States military and naval forces from
Chinese soil.
Referring to the much-discussed
resignation of General Chang Kai-
shek, Crouch points out that rap
proachment between Hankow and
Marking at this time can mean only
that the Chinese revolution is becom-
ing more and more a movement Of
the workers and peasants Of China.
"The Hankow government, he ex-
plains, "has moved rapidly to the right
of late and has carried on a per-
sistent campaign against the trade
unions. This is done under the pre-
text of attacking the Communists.
81 should not be surprised to see
Chang Kai-shel1 creep back into the
picture as a supporter of the Hankow
government after few months.
whatever form the revolution fol
the unification of China and against
| imperialism may take, however, one
thing is certain, that the great mass
of the American people will demand
that the Chinese be permitted to de-
termine the course of their own move
ment as they may find necessary. For
/ eign intervention must cease. All
AAmerican war ships and marines
must be withdrawn. 1t is not the in
terest of the common people of Amer
lea, but the interest of Wall Street
hhat American imperialist interven-
kion in China continues"
Y Crouch began his tour Immediately
upon being released from prison last
June. His tour was interrupted, how
ever, when he found himself perilous-
" near a breakdown as a result Of
illness contracted in prison. However,
as soon as he was able to go ahead,
he continued on the road
| He says that he is merely atoning
to the oppressed peoples of the Far
East" for his years of service in a i'm
perialist army of occupation.
