w do not know definitely what the outcome
w will be of the ~WRr Game" now taking place
around the Panama Canal but it is safe to assume
that, among other things, arguments will be
discovered in favor of Coolidges so-ealled disarma-
ment schemes
The theory of the Panama war game deserves
little consideration. What is it?
It is assumed that an Asiatic power called the
Orange, bound by treaty with European power
called the Black, are making combined attack on
the Panama Canal from the Atlantic and Pacific
sides The task of the game is to repuse this attack
To see that this innocent looking game is earnest
preparation for the grim business of real war, one
has got only to put actual reality into camouflaged
imagery. Call the imaginary Asiatic power by name
and you get Japan instead of Orange. Do the same
with its imaginary ally, the European power, and
you get England instead of Black And what have
you got? You have got vivid forecast of the
coming world war for the mastery Of the Pacific
between American Imperialism on the one hand and
England and Japan the other.
The commander of the canal zone forces. Brig
Gen. Charles Martin, in statement to the press
said the following;
All conditions Of actual warfare are being
simulated, the espionage system. The in
ternational situation Is growing worse hourly
and the canal is expecting to be attacked from
the Pacific by the Asiatic- 0range (Read: Jap

and Blacks seemingly do not wish to consider

Exactly. This is how the thing is going to happen
And while we being kidded with prosperity"
preparations going on for the bloodiest war the
world has gone through. 1t is time that the
American labor movement wake up to this danger.
THE outstanding event in the life of the sixty
4 ninth congress was undoubtedly its handling of
so-caled farm relief measures The critical condi-
ton of American agriculture, the deep dissatisfac-
ton Of the farmers together with the aggressive
stand Of various farmer organizations instru-

the farmers problems.

financial experts No wonder, since the world situa-
tion of British capitalism is cratic, too
The Chinese market is slipping fast and the Rus
sian market may go the way if the 'die-hards"
in the British cabinet prevail One may say that
the decline of British capitalism and its world power
IS beginning seriously to affect the minds of Eng
lish statesmen Nothing illustrates this better than
the truly stupid way in which the Soviet Union is
being threatened vilfied and attacked every day.
Blame it the Bolsheviks" seems to have be-
come the alpha and omega of British capitalist
craftsmanship. Anything that goes wrong = and
nothing seems to go right with British capitalism
now-a-days-is blamed on the Soviet Union. The
obvious intention of the British government is to
shift responsibility for its own failures and in
cidentally to mobilize sentiment in favor of its
criminal conspiraces against the peace of the world
and for war against the Soviet Union.
At last the Supreme Court of the United States
felt compelled for best known to themselves
to affirm the cancellation Of the oil land leases and
contracts awarded dishonesty to Edward L. Doheny
by Albert B. Fall during the latters regime as sec
rotary of the interior. 1t would from this
that it no longer possible to cover up the down.
right robbery of the peoples wealth perpetrated by
the oil magnates-the same fellows who are now
driving us into war with Mexico-in combination
with leading men in the American government.
Says the opinion of the Supreme Court
The facts and circumstances disclosed by the
record snow clearly that the interests and in
fuence of Fall as well as his official action were
corruptly secured by Doheny for the making
of the contracts and leases. that the con-
summation of the transaction was brought about
by means of collision and corrupt conspiracy
between Fall and Doheny.
Quite outspoken, isn't it? And an interesting phase
of the whole business is that practically the same
statement holds true with regard to the infamous
Teapot Dome oil leases held by Harry F. Sinclair
And now who are the fellows who refuse to recog-
nize the Mexican land laws, who are plundering
Mexico even more violently than they do the United
States! Precisely the same people In his reply TO
the inquiry of Senator Borah, for which the Cool
dge administration is now trying to cook up some
thing against the senator from Idaho, President
Gales of Mexico says that the people who refuse TO
recognize the Mexican law the companies con-
troled by the Standard Oil of Indiana, Edward l.
Doheny and Harry r. Sinclair. These are the fell
lows for the sake of whose profits Kellogg and Cool
idge would have the American people go to war
