In these times when the clouds of
war are on the horizon, our capitalist
militarists are using every means at
their disposal to raise the war hyste-
ria among the population. Sex appeal
to the young men of fighting age is
one of the means as is shown by the
illustration. A few weeks ago Soviet
property was destroyed in Peking and
only the other day the ARGOS Ltd, a
Soviet institution was raided in Lon
don. The next step will no doubt be
the raiding of the Soviet Institutions
in the United States. All this is be-
ing done in order to provoke the
Soviet Republics. Their growing pow
er is felt by the Imperialists and ev-
cry attempt is being made to thwart
it. The United States is not innocent
Of all these maneuvers as we are go
ing ahead full steam making prepara-
tions for war. Suffice it to say the
growing propaganda and the strength
of the Army, Navy, National Guard
and the Citizens Military Training
Camps. The raid on Soviet property
in Picking was done with the consent
of the American Minister to China.
The Youth of this country must fight
all attempts at militarization, protest
against the part taken by our gov
eminent in the murder of Chinese
workers and peasants and express
solidarity with the Chinese Revolution
and the Soviet Union.

Suspect British Money
Behind Kurdish Raids
From Persia in Turkey

CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 4. =
The Turkish national government
is apparently trying to smoke out
the moneyed interests which have
been hiring Kurdish barbarians to
raid into Turkey from over the
Persian border, ravaging, burning
and robbing.
England has most to gain by
war between the two countries, and
has several times before, in con-
nection with the extension of the
British owned Kingdom of Iraq"
made use Of Kurdish mercenaries.
However, since in this case the
raid was started from the Persian
side of the border, the Turkish ma
tional authorities have sent pro-
test to the Persian government,
which is intended to clear up the
situation and fix responsibility.
Several Persian officers, long sus-
pected of being in British pay, were
captured leading the Kurdish
bandits.

the continued arrest and attempt at
mass terrorism of Sheriff Hardesty,
U. S. marshals, and dozens of depu-

A crowd of 1000 miners responded
to the call for more pickets at the
Florence mine and showed so much
