Geneva naval
CONFERENCE is
NEAR WIND-UP

GENEVA, July 27.-In spite of the
announcement from London that W.
C. Bridgeman, first lord of the ad-
miralty, and Viscount Cecil, leaders
of the British delegation, are return
ing today to Geneva to resume the
parleys the prevailing opinion here is
that the conference of naval arma-
ments cannot proceed. The first SEES
sion will probably reveal such a deep
going division that it can never be
bridged by any conceivable compro-
mise. The conference is approaching
it's final crisis.
Gibson Pessimistic.
Hugh Gibson, representative of
American imperialism, at the confer
ence and chief spokesman of his dele
cation, is frankly skeptical of the out
come.
owe can see, within a few days
after the return of the British dele
gates" said Gibson, whether there is
any possibility of an agreement. If
there is no sign of an agreement our
delegation wants to return to Wash
ington"
Reject British Compromise.
The Americans examined with in
terest the details of the report on the
British compromise plan as published
in this mornings press, suggesting
limitation of the cruisers of the 10000
ton class y and creating a second
class of cruisers which will be unlim-
tied. The Americans will insist that
the unlimited category of cruisers
have a maximum of $500 tons with
8-inch guns. The British will proba-
bly, demand a maximum of $500 tons
with 6-inch guns. This situation as
sures the continuance of the dead
lock which was reached just as min
utes after the conference was called
to order.
American delegates point out that
the proposition of Britain would en-
able her to increase her ships far
above the number of United States
war cruisers, would also enable her to
tremendously increase her naval pow
er by arming her merchantmen with
6-inch guns so they could be quickly
converted into war ships. At the
same time the smaller craft would be
utterly useless to the United States
because of the long distance between
her naval bases. Britain has a net
of closely woven naval bases through
out the world and could readily fuel
smaller cruisers and operate in all
parts of the world.
Means Unlimited Competition.
The outcome of the conference
called by Coolidge to "limit naval
ornaments" will result in just the OPP
posite It will be the signal for the
most intensive campaign of naval
competition the world has ever exper-
fenced, with the two great imperialist
powers in mad race for supremacy
of the seas.
Already the aircraft race is on in
full swing; the war chemists are
working overtime perfecting more
deadly gases and liquid fires and high
powered explosives to hurl at enemy
armies and populations. The frenzied
race is to be extended to naval equip
ment in preparation for the next world
slaughter.
See Imperialist Designs.
Close observers at Geneva see in
the naval conference something more
than imperialist rivalry between the
United States on one side and Britain
and Japan on the other. They see in
the impending competition in arms the
worldwide preparation on the part of
the imperialist powers for an attack
| on the Soviet Union and the rebellious

nTHIS then is the back
ground of the Passaic
strike. Enormous prof
it's, low wages, the accompa-
nying poor living conditions,
night work in the mills, the
denial of civil rights, in adj
vent of workers demonstra-
zion, espionage, blacklisting.
the fierce fight against the
W O. * s. organization, all
these form the soil from which
springs the historic struggle
in Passaic. A struggle which
lasted from January rs, 1926,
to February %, 1927, during
which time the self-control of
the workers never lapsed to
violence, during which time
their morale mounted as they
grew to know each other and
as they became ever more re-
solved to come out of the
struggle with a Union. This
pamphlet aims only to show
the workers passing through
the many phases of the strike
and overcoming the successive
difficulties and disappoint-

and a final victory"
