Coal Production in
Don Basin Greater

The Donetz Basin, which has al
ways been the largest source of coal
for Russia, has completely recovered
from the depression Of 191S-1921.
The past six years have seen an in
tensive development of this vast coal
field. This can be attributed largely
to the growth of the industries in the
U. S. S. r. with the corresponding
increase in the demand for coal.
The Donetz Basin is exploited by
the State Trust Donugol, which OPP
crates, at present, $50 mines, and al
50 in part by the Steel Trust Yugo-
stall. Both soft coal and anthracite
are produced, also an intermediate
coal that is only slightly softer than
anthracite. Many of the mines Of
the Donugol are rather Anticipated,
and large proportion of the coal is
still mined by hand. Last year the
share of cutting done by machine
was only 1873 per cent of the total.

The League For War.

Take for example the League of
Nations, which in the opinion of the
mendacious bourgeois press and the
no Tess mendacious soeial-democrat
press is an instrument for peace.
What results are there of the League
of Nations prattling about the ques-
ton of peace, disarmament, reduc-
ton Of ornaments, etc. 1t has had
no good results except in deceivlng
the masses and except in outbursts
of armament, the aggravation of the
gathering conflicts.
"Can the fact be considered casual
that three years of prattling about
peace and disarmament by the League
of Nations; mean years of support
for this lying prattling of the So
called Second international while
nations are arming more than ever
and enlarging their former conflicts
between the Powers heaping up new
conflicts and thus sapping the cause
of peace? What else does the fail
ure of the disarmament conference
of the three powers Great Britain,
America, Japan) mean but that the
Pacific problem is source of new
imperialist wars and that the Pow
ers' wish neither to disarm nor to
reduce their ornaments. What has
the League of Nations done to pre-
vent this danger?
"Or take the instance of the re-
cent speeches of the Soviet delega-
ton at Geneva. The question is real
and not decorative. What explana-
ton is there for the fact that the
straightforward and honest declar-
alton by Litvinoff regarding full dis
armament simply paralyzed the
League of Nations to which it proved
to be wholly unexpected Does not
this fact mean that the League of
Nations is not an instrument Of
peace and disarmament, but rather
an instrument for screening new arm
aments and preparing new wars?
HypOcritical Cries.
"The venal bourgeois press Of all
countries from Japan to England,
from France to America, raises the
hue and cry about the 'insincerity' of
the Soviet propositions for disarma-
ment. Why then not probe the sin
cerity of the Soviet propositions and
Immediately prepare for practical
disarmament or at least serious re-
duction of ornaments? Why cannot
this be done?
COR again: take the present sys-
TEN of 'amity treaties between the
capitalist states: the treaty between
France and Jugo-slavia; the treaty
between Italy and Albania; the
treaty of friendship being prepared
between Pilsudski of Poland and
Lithuania-what is all this II not a
system of preparing new wars and
re-dislocating the forces for future
military conflicts?
Imperialist Armies.
Again, take for instance the fol-
lowing facts: from 1913 to 1927 the
armies of France, England, Italy,
United States, and Japan increased
from 1888 to 1892 thousand, and
during the same period the military
budgets of the same countries in
creased from 2,345 million gold
roubles to 3,948 million; the number
of military airplanes of these five
countries increased from 1925 to 1927
from 1855 to 4,340; the tonnage of
cruisers of these five powers in
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-12-07

1922 to S64 thousand tons in 1926;
the position of chemical warfare il
lustrated by the following statement
of Gen. Fries, chief of the chemical
warfare service of the U. S. A.:
"One aerochemical bomb weighing
450 Kilograms loaded with Lewisite
can make uninhabitable 10 districts of
New York while d hundred tons OF
Lewisite thrown by so airplanes can
make the whole city of New York UNI
inhabitable in at least one week"
What else do these facts mean
than that the preparation for new
wars is speedily proceeding? Such
are the results of the peaceful pol
icy and the policy of disarmament
of the bourgeois states generally, and
especially the League of Nations, also
remembering the social-democratic
lackeys of capital.
Weak "Justifications."
Formerly the justification for the
growth of ornaments was sought in
the fact of the existence of Germany
armed to the teeth. Today such jus
tifications' are invalid. Is it not
clear that the growth of ornaments,
inspired by the inevitability of new
imperialist wars between the Powers
and that the spirit of war consti-
tutes one of the fundamentals of the
'Locarno spirit? / should say actual
peaceful relations might be COM
pared to an old worn out shirt, all the
patches held by thin thread. Simply
a pull of a thread, tear here or
there would result in the shirt fall
ing to pieces, with nothing but the
patches remaining. Any shake of the
actual peaceful relations anywhere
Albania or Lithuania, or China, or
North Africa--and this building of
peaceful relations will crumble to
pieces. 1t was so before the last i'm
perialist war when the Sarajevo muir
der led to the war; and so it is to-
day. Sterilization gives birth to in
evitable new imperialst wars. DIDO.
Pointing to the passing situation of
the world revolutionary movement,
Stain declared: "No one capitalist
country can carry on serious war with
out first having consolidated its own
rear, repressed its own workers and
own colonies. Hence the gradual APP
plication of fascist policy by the
bourgeois governments results.
eve cannot regard as casual fact
the supreme right bloc in France, to-
day, or the English bloc of Hicks
Deterding and Urquhart, or Germany s
bourgeois bloc, Japan's War Party and
the Italian and Polish fascist govern
in the capitalist onslaught, against
the working class.
Attack Workers.
From these result the pressure or
the working class, in the form of the
Trade Union Law in England; the
Armed Nation Law of France, and
the abolition Of the eight hour work
ing day in series of countries
capitalist onslaught, against the work
ing class.
therefore more intense pressure
is put upon colonies and dependencies
and the more imperialist troops are
quartered in British spheres influ-
ence' and possessions.
at is easy to realize that this brutal
pressure of the fascist governments
cannot fail to provoke a response
from the oppressed people in the col.
onies and the working class in the
mother countries.

italism. Capitalism is finding the
actual limits of it's markets and
spheres Of influence too narrow.
The declaration of a group of in
ternational bankers in 1926 with re-
gard to freedom of trade resulted in
a flat failure.
The Economic Conference of the
League of Nations in 1927 which
aimed to unite the economic inter
ests" of the capitalist countries like
wise failed. The peaceful way to the
solution of the problem of markets is
still barred to capitalism. Only one
tissue" remains to capitalism: an
other redistribution OF the colonies
and spheres of influence by force, by
military conflicts, by new imperialist
wars.
Crisis of Capitalism.
From sterilization arises a grow
ing crisis of capitalism. The actual
preparations and the sphere Of in
fluence established as result of the
last imperialist war are actually
sdperannuated. 1t no longer salts
fies either North America which
strives to penetrate Asia, above all
China (as South America alone did
not satisfy herr, or Great Britain
from whose hands the dominions and
manv Of the most important markets
of the East are slipping away; or
Japan, with whom now and again
Britain and America interfere in
China; or Italy or France between
whom there exist i1.numerable "out-
standing questions" in the Danube
countries, as we'll as in the Mediter-
reanean; or less yet Germany which
is still deprived of her colonies.
Fight For Markets.
"Hence there is the general de-
sire and effort for the redistribution
of markets and sources Of raw ma
terials. 1t is therefore needless to
further discuss the Asiatic markets
and the struggle for them. Hence
there arises a series Of complex prob
lens in themselves bringing up new
conflicts, hence there arises the So
called Pacific problem (antagonism
between America, Japan and Great
Britain) which is the source of the
struggle for the supremacy in Asia.
hence the problem of the Mediter-
ranean (antagonism between Great
Britain, France and Italy,. and the
source of the struggle for the supre-
macy Of the shores of the Mediter-
ranean and the struggle for the short

walton of the oil problem (that of
antagonism.
1.-THE English press recently pub
lished the last plan of Chamber
lain's for settling the Mediterranean
problem. 1t is needless to say that
the fact that this plan appeared in
the press cannot be called casual. Its
value consists in that it clearly
characterized the strife, conflicts and
war with which the relations of the
so-called great Powers are pregnant.
Were there any attempts made at
a peaceful solution of the gathering
military conflicts during the period
under review? Yes, there were, and
even more than might be expected
However, these attempts were abso-
lutely futile. Even more = these at
tempts proved to be but a screen

Powers in planning new wars, a

PASSING OF THE PORCH

Another great American institution is passing. Once
thought deathless, it is rejected by the rising generation. Only
a decade ago it was indispensable to the American home but to-
day it is wholly foreign to that home. For centuries it was
more than an institution, it was a national tradition and an
honored ideal. Today it is ridiculed, maigned or, what is still
more ignominious, forgotten.
This tragic victim of progress is the front porch. No
longer. is it considered by architects in the drafting of their
plans for the modern home, and with the new" home-builder it
is as obsolete as the woodshed and out-kitchen.
While the solarium and roofless plaza which grace the mod
ern home have replaced the old-fashioned front porch, they can
never fulfill the ancient duties of the old. front porch" Once
the home was judged by its veranda. Formerly it was a covet-
ed privilege to rock in a chair on the front porch to see and be
seen, but in this revolutionary age it is considered very
bourgeois to expose ones self in such an idle mood and reposing
posture to the curious crowds. The porch has been abolished,
so the household can not sit out to see the world pass by on
parade, and to perfect the conspiracy against the front porch
high walls and hedges now prevent the parade" from looking
in.
Some through sentiment will miss the old front porch along
with the hitching post, cigar store Indian, watering trough and
bushing maiden, but the viewers-with-alarm with their custom
airy pessimism will see in it Confirmation of the report that
people don't build porches because the modern home is only a
place to sleep in and the report that the automobile has sup
planted the porch as the great American perspective and rest
resort.

SUCCESS TALKS

Jumping around from one job to another will ultimately
drag any man down to the bottom of the ladder and make him
a stepping stone for the real stickers in the game of business.
When you feel the fanced greater opportunities of other
fields tugging at your sleeve just hold a short communion with
yourself and remember that it's the man and not the line which
achieves success.
You will decide that there is nothing better than the work
you are doing and that you make your own opportunities by the
spirit you put into your task every day of the year.
The fellow who attempts to dodge that fact is only kicking
progress in the shins-Cheyenne Tribune.

SUNSHINE

Don't growl at the heat. 1t is earning so much every
minute it is difficult to estimate the amount. A hot, moist
June will make Mother Earth catch up completely with all her
crops on. millions of farms.
One may prefer cold breezes like those of a mountain top,
but they would mean a short corn harvest and a slim yield of
potatoes. Let June be as comfortable as a winter resort, and
down comes the quantity of nearly everything which comes from
the soil.
The hot nights are translating themselves into millions of
extra bushels of wheat, corn and oats. A sunny June yields
a bigger berry crop and hence a more plentiful supply of jeIies,
jams and other things one would be unable to get if the nights
were cold and mornings frosty.

Bers and cbsrs

Considerable hum0r was display
ed on Monday with the signs placed
in store windows announcing clos
ing hours. Some of the business
houses said they were big little"
stores and others favored the name
of being little big" stores, but it
is needless to say that all speak
for themselves. Some of the stores
are really big and some of them are
small, when the amount of mer-
chandise carried is considered. But
that which really counts is the
quality of merchandise sold rather
than the quantity and the service
rendered to the patrons. AS one
old timer says, "Size don't count
if it did a COW could catch a jack
rabbit"
Sure is good TO greet the many
former residents who are shifting
back to Cody this spring, and it is
also a sign that many agree tina;
this is a pretty good place to live.
