EDITORS NOTES

NIT BRAND considerable freedom of action with Ger
many, since the Franco-German dispute has all of
a sudden become 'of little consequence" in order
to for England greater freedom of action
against China and against the Soviet Union. In
fact this is how the press dispatch concludes Con-
stantine Brown in the Chicago Daily News:
The British have already won the French to
their side regarding China and expect that NJ
BRAND will confirm their present policy. In the
way they expect him to promise full sup
port in the coming dispute with the Soviet Re-
public, which last weeks raid on the Soviet
house in London made inevitable.
There is the whole story of the present friendly
visit of the imperiast rulers of France to the i'm
perialist rulers of England. It is to patch up COM
paratvely "mnor" differences, such as the fate of
the Balkans and the well being of Germany in order
to concentrate with combined forces against the
major enemy of the present moment This major
enemy in the eyes Of world Imperialism are the
workers and peasants Of China and the workers and
peasants Of the Soviet Union.
The danger of war is here. The conspirators
against the peace of the world carrying on their
damnabe intrigues without let-up or interruption.
Hence, the efforts of the working class and all
enemies of Imperialism must be doubled and tripled
to prevent this danger from becoming reality.
FOLLOWING the report of Henry L. Stimson per-
sonal representative of President Coolidge in Mic
aragua, that "the way is open for the develop
ment of Nicaragua along the lines of peace order

On the outward journey Tommy
beat par by two strokes, capturing
two brides and never went over
perfect figures. Ordinarily such
golf would have given him com
handing lead to start the lunch
ward journey. Not with Farrell,
however. The latter went over par
twice, shot three brides, turned N

Really Mace Should
Produce an Affidavit

Mace Liverwurst was telling q
crowd in front of the blacksmith shop
about cyclone he was in one time
at the close of the Civil war. He said
1t was the worst wind and electrical
storm he ever saw, and that bolt OF
lightning killed big fat hog for him,
and the wind twisted it in such a man
ner that the fat was rendered into
lard, a frying pan came bouncing
through the air and fell right side up
beside the hog so that the rendered
lard ran into it.
Mace said about that time the wind
blew the feathers off a big spring
chicken and tore the chicken into
pieces, which fell into the pan OF
grease, the lightning set the grass
afire and the grease got hot and the
pieces of chicken in the skillet fried
nice and brown. When Mace hesitat-
ed, 70 take chew Of tobacco, all his
listeners left In disgust, and as we
sauntered of we heard him say he
could prove it by a dozen persons.
