embassy in Peking which was carried out under the
instructions of British governmental circles was
intended to do this The British capitalists thought
that we would answer the insults and maltreatment
heaped upon the employees of our institutions in
China with active reprsas. They THOUGHT above all
that we would undertake armed action against Charp
Tso-lin who directly responsible for the raid
upon our Peking embassy. The British cantaI;s+s
wanted to XII three birds with stone: By pro-
Voklng us into in the East, they honed nc IN
compromise us in the eyes of the Chinese toiIore
they hoped also for econmic weakeniao of orr
country in consequence of the war and finally q
weakening OF the defense of western frontier
which would have made it easier for them to urge
our neghbors against the Ukraine and White Pree;s
But our government realized these not overintelli
gent plans of the British capitalists in time We
did not permit ourselves to be provoked In diff
cult moment we retained our GOODNESS and level
headedness Following upon the failure of the raid
upon our representation in Picking, came the raid
upon our Trade Delegation and ARGOS in London
The aim OF this raid to discover documents which
might have compromised our EMPLOYEES and beap rsod
as material to accuse of anti British propapanda
No such documents were found and the British COW

grounds were present for breach with us without
offering any concrete proofs

A FEW months ago comrade Bukarn pointed out
that the Soviet Union was owing to various cir
cumstances quite independent Of our will approach
ing difficult times Since then have stressed this
fact in various speeches and pointed out that despite
all efforts despite determined peace policy
our enemies wished to forced into war
Recent events have completely corroborated the
analysis of comrade Bukharin few weeks after
Bukharin's speech, we received the Chamberlain
Note and then followed the events which are now
wel-known. Our country is approaching a new
period of difficulties, and it is our duty to prepare
ourselves in all seriousness for the trials which are
facing
One still meet the opinion that we will be
successful in manoeuvring and be able to avoid
a collision with the enemy This opinion is to
certain extent justified, but it does not represent
the whole truth. The whole truth is that we are
now approaching period of history in which our
class enemies will inevitably force US into war
What has been international situation up to
the present? The majority of countries trades with
us, the majority of countries recognizes u.s. but at
the time the capitalist world tells us through
the lips of individual politicians through the
speeches of the representatives of the most reac-
tonary section of the bourgeosie, that it regards
the existence of the Soviet Union as temporary
phenomenon which must be brought to an end The
bourgeoisie of the whole world is united in the fond
hope that we will one day be destroyed Not only
Great Britain, but the whole capitalist world is of
the opinion that we, that is our state which has
new structure, who are building up socialism have
right to exist and must disappear from the stage
We have been in this situation now for ten years
since the commencement of the Soviet Power Tenn
porariy the situation relaxed, sometimes it was in
tensified. Now faced with a severe inten-
s1f1cation. In face of this, expect new
period in which the hostility of the capitalist world
towards will relax?
l believe that the answer to this question is in
the negative.
1t was no accident that in the British House of
Commons the representatives of the whole bour-
geosie supported the proposal Of the conservatives
to break off diplomatic relations with u.s. although
the British bourgeoise a whole is by no means
interested in breach of the diplomatic and eco
nomic relations with US. And because the whole
bourgeoise nevertheless supported the breach then
that proves that we have no right to expect new
spring of friendly and neighbory relations with the
outside world, but that, the contrary we must
prepare ourselves for the worst The comparatively

American government responsible for it. In this
the greenwich combination succeeded largely but
not fully The congress did go on record, despite
Green and Woll, protesting against the murder and
demanding the withdrawal of American military
forces from Nicaragua
The militant delegates from Nicaragua and Vene-
zuela whose courageous efforts were respon-
slble for forcing the congress into action, were
also instrumental in opening up discussion on the
so-called Monroe Doctrine attacking it for what it
ls-an instrument of American imperialism to subiu-
gate and Cypress the peoples of Latin-America
But Green and Woll, who had been Inundated on
the previous issues, succeeded in taking their re-
venge after all by attacking the Communists and
the militants generally, thus attempting to pacate
their masters-the imperiasts of the United States
who were naturally greatly dispeased with the
course OF the congress in the beginning of it's de-
hoefatons 1t was exceedingly beneficial to the la
Dor movement in the Americas that the Nicarag11an
and Venezuelan delegates succeeded in BRINGING
forth the issue of struggle against American i'm
per1ailsm in Latin-America, forcing Morones of
the Mexican Federation of Labor to come along part
OF the way and defeating the efforts of Green and
VOL to keep the whole matter out of the congress-

One of the unlucky aspects of the whole

Plans for Girl Scout Week are
making splendid Roadway. All the
troops are enthusiastically arrang-
ing last minute plans for their win
dow displays, which we hope will
give the people of Ely working
knowledge of practical Girl Scout
ing.
A song practice was held on
Thursday, October 6, to get ready
for the service on Sunday. Mrs.
Byrd Brownell kindly consented to
accompany the Scouts at that time
and the songs were led by Mrs. VIM.
Barker.
Services in honor of National
Girl Scout Week will be held in
the local churches Sunday. There
will be part of the service de-
voted to the Girl Scouting at the
Finnish and Catholic churches in
the morning, and a joint community
service will be held at the Presby-
terrain vesper hour-4:3 80 in the af-
ternoon. Every Scout is urged to
attend one or all Of these services.
Troops 1 and 5, the Senior Scout
troops hiked out to their camp on

that might arise in his territory. An
other film will show how to pick out
the good dairy cow and how to

FATS AND LEANS WILL
ATTEMPT TO PLAY BALL

War broke out at the D. & /. r.
depot this week and for a time
threatened to end the activities of
the railroad forces for the season.
Some one made the remark that
fat men were no good.
The two Hansons, Ernest and
Jack, supported the statement while
BONNER and Kcmpfer insisted that
skinny men couldn't even make a
respectable showing for what it cost
to feed them.
In order to save the depot and
Office fixtures from destruction, Jim
Moonan ended the controversy for
the time by suggesting a fat and
thin man contest and the leaders
are selecting two indoor baseball
teams. BONNER is the leader of
the fats and Ernest Hanson is
rounding up the cadaverous organi-
zation.
The battle will be staged at the
Memorial Gym on Friday, October
18th. It is presumed that the par
ade before the game will be led by
the same as headed the married
single mems game of last spring.
Both orders expect to have the
services of the famous DR.. Muck
and the fats expect to have Chief
Ellefsen and Gene Joncas as mana
ger and field general. There is a
rumor current that the leans will
have a distinct advantage due to
the fact that DR.. Thompson has
discovered new serum which will

FOOTBALL
(By William Coombe.)

The Ely high school grid team
met another defeat, at the hands
of the Eveleth squad.
The game started with Ely kick
ing off to Eveleth. They had the
ball on the thirty-yard line in a
short time with a group of line
smashes and end runs. The Ely
boys held them for three downs
and on the fourth down Eveleth
tried drop kick but it was short.
Ely took the ball and carried it
for a few downs without any good
results and punted. Anderson, Ely's
center. was taken from the game in
the next play with an injured leg.
This made the team weak in the
center position. Smrekar was
shifted to center, Banovetz taking
his place at guard. Eveleth soon
found Ely's weak spots and went
through for a twenty-yard gain.
The quarter ended with Eveleth
having the ball within scoring dis
lance. In the first play, Merhar,
fullback for the red and white,
was injured and taken from the
game. Hill took his place behind
the line. Ely held the Eveleth BOYS
for three downs, but on the fourth
down, Jagunich carried the ball on
a line smash for a touchdown. He
also made the extra point good.
Eveleth made a good gain on the
Kickoff. The usual end runs and
line smashes by Eveleth brought
the ball within the shadow of the
goal posts. Jagunich skirted left
end for twenty-five yards and an
other touchdown. The extra point
was made COOL. The score at the
end of first half was 14-O in favor
OF Eveleth. The teams played ten
minute quarters in the second half,
the college game taking the greater
part of the day. Eveleth seemed
as though they could not be stop
ped. AS a result they scored again
when Philstrom made a thirty-five
yard end run. The try for extra
point was made good. Ely started
a passing attack in the last quarter
but it was in vain.
The following boys made the
trip: Anderson. Banovetz, Skala.
Clough, j. S;nrekar, S. Smrekar.
Hill, Nicholas. Toutloff, Gouze, Mer-
har, Blair, Gerzin, Sayovitz, Lindv.
Lepisto, Olson, M. Zgonc, Walle.
Sasek, Kerranen. The Ely bows
have two straight wins over Two
Harbors and hope to make it three
when they tackle them at home ON

The greatest difficulty to be en-
countered in contest of this ma

They should be neither thick nor

be a compromise-one fat and one

GOOD ROADS ADVERTISE.

Our good roads, such as they are,
have advertised Minnesota more
than a million spent in any other
way, and we are strong for other
kinds of advertising at that. The
newspapers of Iowa have dubbed
together for the past two or three
years and given $4,000 to $4,000
worth of space to advertising the
greatness of their state, and every
cents worth of such space has been
neutralized by the howl of their
crazy politicians who feed upon dis
content. That state is now being
advertised to the whole country
through the manner in which the
individual county is voting vast
sums of money for paving. It is
a pity that there is such a long
time until our next legislature, but
let us agitate and be ready for it.

The iron ore mining industry is
good in northern Minnesota for
1000 years to come, in spite OF
the prevalent tendency among the
larger mining companies to force
the iron ore out of the ground In
an effort to find relief from so-called
burdensome taxation, w. G. Swart,
superintendent of the Mesaba Min
ing company, told an audience at
Hotel Duluth Saturday night, at
tending a public hearing on taxa
ton before the house interim COM
mittee.
"My generation, this generation,
or our children's generation will
never see the end of iron mining
industry in Minnesota or Michigan"
said Mr.. Swart. ''The situation,
however it IS growing with respect
to the heavy taxes being levied
against mining companies, will re-
main for years to come. Mining
property owners are flooding an I'M
willing market with ore, because
they are forced to take it out of
the ground to escape the unfair tax
burden they must pay if it remains
Underground.
THE miners of the northwest
are in distress because of the vast
ore mining operations brought on
by excessive taxation of mineral
lands in our state. In Michigan it
costs us 25 cents for every ton of
ore shipped. In Minnesota it costs
US 81 cents per ton. This alone is
putting a severe handicap in the
way of the miners. With these
conditions remaining and taxes in
Minnesota higher than in neighbor-
ing competitive states, there will be
a big and constant overlapping of
iron ore mining and shipping in
Minnesota" -
