RUSSIAN clashes
AS PREDICTED
Lenin Forecast SoViet-lmperial-
list Trouble

London, July 20 UP) - Lenin's
fear of a clash between imperial
istic state and the Soviet" which
he expressed more than a year be-
fore his death in an article written
for the official Soviet newspaper
"Pravada,' has been justified, in the
opinion of many persons,by recent
events.
Although in 1928. few took cog
nizance of predictions of the coming
Soviet Imperialistic clash" made by
The apostle of Bolshevism almost
from his deathbed. Great Britain's
break with the Soviet and the many
diplomatic complications which fol-
lowed closely on the heels of this
break, have caused many to turn
back the pages of history to a chap
ter which appeared insignificant
when written.
Peace between the Soviet govern
mental institutions and the imperial
istic states is the only sure means Of
successfully coping with Russia's fu-
ture problems" Lenin wrote.
Under the present state of inter-
national relations in Europe, one
state is placed under the heel of
others--their victors. These victors
are able to grant a few concessions
to the oppressed masses-conces-
sions which retard the revolutionary
movement and create a semblance
of social peace.
AT the same time there are a
number of Oriental countries, not
ably India and China, which as Il
result of the 1mperialistic war. find
themselves completely beaten from
their former foundations. Their de-

SAYS BOSTON BOY
HAS SECRET PUNCH
"Spke' Webb, Boxing Coach,
Describes the Navy Double"

Baltimore, uly 20 R)-The Balti-
more News publishes signed arti-
Gle today by Spike" Webb, boxing
instructor at the Naval Academy,
describing a secret punch he says
Jack Sharkey will employ in his
fight tomorrow night with Jack
Dempsey, Webb states the punch is
known as the navy double punch"
and is similar to the pivot punch"
The article asserts Sharkey was
taught the punch by Lieutenant
Mike O'Regan, of the navy, who
was the first to recognize S]rarkey's
ability as a boxer when he was a
sailor on the L. S. S. Arkansas sew
eral years ago. Webb adds: 'Shar-
key is the originator of dozen or
more of other tricky wallops' which
make him dangerous to whomever
his opponent may be-"
First the user of the navy dou-
BILE punch must be a boxer of the
ultra scientific sort" Webb writes,
land he must have his wits about
him when it is attempted. 1t is es-
pecially effective against a rip-tear-
inf head-o on fighter of the Dempsey
type. The user of the punch in the
heat Of battle lures his opponent to
come in" 1t is then necessary to
sway the body well to the left and
twist the body in that direction the
required distance as to be in posi-
ton to use a back-hand punch with
the right hand.
"The object is then to cut back
with a snappy back-hand wallop
which lands on the right side of the
opponents face. In most cases this
causes the receiver to lose his bal
ance. Before he can right himself
he meets the full force of a left hand
hook clean to the jaw"
Webb coached Gene Tunney when
he was boxing coach of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces. He
coached the American Olympic box
ing teams in 1920 and 1924.

BYRD and N0V|LLE
again DECORATED
Given Distinguished Flying
| Crosses by Wilbur

New York, July 20 P-Two more
American aviators today possess that
coveted honor of the air-the dis
tinsuished flying cross-highest
award of American aeronautics.
Secretary of the Navy Curtis D..
Wilbur last night pinned crosses on
the breasts of Commander Richard
E. Byrd and Lieut.. George o. No
vile, for flying the America from
New York to France under adverse
conditions. The presentations were
made at a municipal banquet in hon
or of the four New York France and
one New York Germany nonstop
f1iers.
Clarence D. Chamberlin, pilot of
the Columbia, that ploughed through
fog to Germany, and Bert Acosta and
Bernt Balchen, shipmates of Byrd
and Neville, saw the medals pinned
on the natty white uniforms Of their
co-heroes, and Joined in the vigor-
Gus applause with 1000 banqueters.
Byrd's Suggestion.
When Secretary Wilbur had read
citations in which Commander Byrd
and Lieutenant Neville were praised
for their achievement, Mayor Walk
er, POSTMASTER of the banquet, sug-
gested that Balchen, Acosta and
Chamberlin, all civilian fiers, be in
Quoted into the reserve officers corps
so that congress might award them
similar crosses. He said the sugges-
ton came to him from Commander
Byrd. Only members of the army or
navy can be awarded the honor.
Secretary Wilbur expressed the
hope that lin view of the necessity
for the development of commercial
aviation" some form of recognition
will be provided by congress for the
civilian fliers.
Expresses His Pleasure
Commander Byrd expressed his
pleasure at the secretary's state
ment and declared Chamberlin,
Acosta and Balchen deserve the hon
or "as much as we do. if not more"
II want to say this" said Com
mander Byrd, Il am proud to re-
ceive this reception and to share it
with Clarence Chamberlin. He is a
gallant gentleman and a gallant
flier. and what he has done is un-
excelled in the whole history of av-
iation, If not in the history of the
world.
Il want to say a word about my
shipmates who went on the America
with me. Those fellows did not go
for glory. I selected them because !
thought they were the best in the
country"
Chamberlin humorously described
transatlantic flight as comparative
ly a simple matter. Most anybody"
he said, can fly the first 16 hours.
That's no trick at all. And after that
all you have to do is look down at
the ocean and then recall that it is
just as far back to America as it is
ahead to Europe"
Commander Byrd sketched the re-
suits of his flight from scientific
data gathered in long hours without
sight Of land or water, and predicted
transatlantic flights on regular
commercial basis within 10 years.
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-07-20

Il think" he said, these flights
will be made with planes similar to
the America, big, multi-engine
plane that can fly with at least 80
per cent of their engines dead.
think such planes should be equip
ped with dump valve, SO in flying
with the heavy loads, which Is the
problem in long distance flying you
can dump some of the fuel in case a
motor or two stops and get along
with the rest of the engines.
There should be sleeping accom-
modations on these ships of the fu-
ture, so that the crew can rest while
they are making a long flight. The
wheels should be arranged,so that
they can be pulled up and there will
be no resistance from the air.
Must Be Big Plane
Il think that probably the first
regular transatlantic plane will be
twice the size of the America: first,
as TO the wing spread and with
double the horsepower. ] think all
ships should be equipped with rub
berized boats and other equipment.
such as radio, SO in case of forced
landing there will not be consider
able danger to the personnel There
should be a system of tanks in the
wings, l think. say four or five tanks.
so that any engine can be fed from
any tank, and make it practically
impossible for the fuel system to go
bad"
Commander Byrd also urged es
adjustment of radio direction find
ers on the route to permit aviators
to get their bearings in case of thick
fog or thick weather, when it is i'm
possible to take Astronomical obser-
vations.
Today the fliers will be guests at
a luncheon given in their honor by
the Merchants association, and
night, Commander Byrd
said, he, if not all the filters, would
attend the Sharkey-Dempsey fight.

Heavy Sentences Promised for
A8itatorS

Vienna, July 20 R}-With order
restored after the serious riotng
that broke out in Vienna Friday, the
authorities are seeking to punish the
instigators and leaders. Nearly 800
persons have been arrested, and of
these rs have already been brought
before the courts for preliminary
examination. Heavy penal sentences
will be given to those found guilty
of participating in an uprising which
resulted in the death of 81 persons,
the wounding of 400, and damage to
public and private property estiimat-
ed at millions of dollars.
To prevent recurrence of the
disorders. the authorities gave in
structions that the funeral today Of
those killed IN the rioting must be
private.
Apart from the material damage
wrought by the Infatuated crowds,
government leaders and tinanciers
are beginning TO count the loss
through damaged prestige abroad.
In this connection Finance Minister
kiensboeck believes the Austrian
bank rate will rise one per cent. The
three-day tie-up of the railroads is
believed to have cost the companies
about two million dollars in revenue.

handing that Austria's police force

velopment has finally come to be
directed along the general lines of
the European capitalistic system.
General European fermentation has
begun in those countries and the
whole world now clearly sees that
they are being dragged into a
process which will inevitably lead to
a crisis for capitalism througbout
the entire world.
What tactics must Russia adopt
as result OF this world trend?
I'VE must carefully build UP our
state-maintaining the leadership of
the workmen over the peasants, but
increasing confidence in the latter
and exercising the maximum
aleount Of national economy.
Our advantage is that the whole
world is in a state of revolution.
Our disadvantage is that CAPT
talism has succeeded in splitting the
world and this split is further COM
plicated by the fact that Germany
the foremost cultured country in
capitalistic development - cannot
succeed in getting on its feet. All of
the capitalistic countries of the west
are preying on her and are refusing
to allow her to rise.
"On the other hand throughout
the entire east, hundreds of millions
of exploited toilers are being driven
to the last stage of human endur-
ance.
I'm this article we are not inter
ested in the question of the inevi-
liability of victory for socialism, but
in the question of what tactics We
should adopt to prevent the Western
European counter-revolutionary
countries from crushing us. In order
to ensure our existence until the
next military clash between the
nations of the West and the revolu-
tionary Nationalistic nations of the
East-between the most civilized
states and the most backward states
the latter must be civilized.
Meanwhile, can we avoid clash
with the Imperialistic states? Will
the differences between the In
rerialistic states shape themselves so
far as to give us pause for breath
ing, as we once received as result
of the American and Japanese diff
ferences?
THE solution of this problem de-
ponds on many questions. The over
whelming majority of the human
race will be forced to fight by
capitalism itself. The outcome of
that fight will be decided by the
fact that Russia, India, China and
the other Eastern nations represent
the great majority Of the worlds
population. This majority is already
drawn into the fight, therefore the
final victory for socialism is unques-
Meantime, we must face this
question. Can we stand fast until
the Western European states COM
plete their development toward So
cialism?
This development will not come
by simultaneous ripening but as a
result of the exploitation of one con-
quered country by another. Such ex-
ploitation has influenced the entire
Orient where the revolutionary
movement cannot be longer halted
