COTTON IS QUIET;

NEW YORK. May 19.-~The cotton
market was comparatively quiet at
the opening today with the price
movement correspondingly narrow.
Liverpool cables made fairly
steady showing. but the market there
eased just before the local opening,
and first prices here were points
higher to ] point lower, more active
positions soon showing net losses OF
. to 3 points under realizing and local
selling. Trade interests were credited
with buying on the set-backs to l5.14
for July and 1880 for December, how
ever. and the market showed gen
orally steady undertone at the end OF
the first hour.
Private cables reported continental
buying supplied by hedging and Lon
don selling in the Liverpool market
and that higher prices for cotton
cloths were checking trade.
Trading became more active after
the publication of the weather map
and the forecast of thunder showers
in the Western belt. except in west
Texas. Traders evidently apprehend-
cd further rains or showers in the
Central belt and the buying move
ment sent the price of July up to
1898, even with the previous hIgh
level. while new-crop months made
new high records for the season, De-
cemher selling at 1851 These prices
represented net advances of % to 20
points and attracted considerable re-
alizing. which was absorbed on reac-
ti0ns of or 6 points from the best,
the market holding very steady at
midday.

arming feverishly, and strenuous at
tempts are being made to isolate and
weaken the Soviet Union.
A few days ago our press reported
upon the arming of Rumania by Italy.

tory to the Dniestr. We know from
British newspapers that these fruit"
consist of $4,000 rifles, IL million

guns, and machine parts of those des-
troyers ordered by Rumania in Italy

,ranted to Rumania in return for the
.reaty of friendship" concluded with
italy, with a view to guaranteeing at
The very least the neutrality of Ru-
mania in case of war between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia, the companion of
Rumania in the Little Entente. We
know also that in agreement with
Jugo-Slavia, Greece has the right to
transport war materials delivered to
its harbors, over Jugo-Slavia territory,
to Poland. Further, the neighbors of
the Soviet Union, the Baltic countries
and Poland, have been solemnly per-
mitted by a decision of the Interna-
tional armament conference in 1925,
to maintain secrecy concerning their
aramaments, in contradistinction to
the other powers participating in con-
ference. The aim Of this was to pre-
vent the Soviet Union from knowing
the stage of their ornaments and the
names of those gracious powers who
supply them with their arms.
IF we now add the proposal made
by Great Britain to the conference
of ambassadors-to prohibit Germany
to export boilers for sea-going vessels
and lathes capable of serving for the
production Of shells-we have a pic
ture of definite technical preparation
for war against the Soviet Union on

this combination, because even the
ing the latter the possibility of arm
ing itself, was made with the know
ledge and approval of Great Britain
which sanctioned in Livorno the proc
lamation Of an Italian protectorate
over Albania and consequently also
the possibility Of war with Jugo-Slavia
and its consequences including the
military and political rapprochement
between Italy and Rumania.
And now, as 1t is necessary to put
up smoke-screen to mask all this,
the obliging Forward shouts stop

ers a series of forgeries into being to
prove that the enemy of peace is the
Soviet Union which is allegedly manu-
featuring war material with the as
sistance Of German firms, which is CO.
operating secretly with the official and
the black German reichswehr and
which has practically concluded mil
itary alliance with the German gov
eminent. The English newspaper of
which we have already spoken, also
declared that q secret military conven-

tiles, and the Berliner Tageblatt
which attempted to refuse all these
inventions, could think of nothing bet
ter to say in defense of its govern
ment, than the lie that few years
ago the Soviet government proposed
such military alliance. Such a mil
itary alliance did not and does not
exist, either as proposal or as
fact, but it had to be invented in
order to provide further invention,
i. e. that the military authorities in
the Soviet Union and in Germany are
cooperating with each other, with
more or less believable basis.
On the whole, we consider that the
German social-democracy has well
earned its keep from the entente. 1t
has earned the right to receive the
noble peace prize, at least next year
for this year it has already been pres
ented to equally worthy recipients.

nunist workers: do you see now
where the rifles and ammunition come
rom with which they shoot you
DOWN.? 1t turns out, as we see, that
not Noske, the bloodhound" not the
5ocialdemocracy, but the Soviet I'm
ion, the country of the victorious So
cialist revolution, is the ally of those
reactionary forces which throttle the
German working class movement.
We always suspected that the Ger
man social-democracy, and in parti-
cular, its central organ, was on more
than speaking terms with those crafts
men who produce anti-Soviet forger-
les. The Forward has now proved
this. We do not know whether the
Forward occupies itself directly with
this noble calling or whether the pu-
pills and imitators of Drushelovsky
and his friends do the work for it, but
there is no doubt that this whole fairy
story which has gone thru various edi-
torial offices, is based upon forgeries.
Its aim is to do the entente service
which is looking for an excuse to
abandon the responsibilities towards
Germany which it accepted at Yer
sailles and Locarno, and to create an
atmosphere of hostility towards the
hated Soviet Union.
THE disgusting attitude which the
4 slanderers have taken towards
their own dear fatherland, which
they so zealously defended dur
ng the imperialist slaughter, does not
interest us In the least in this con-
nection. We are only interested in
the accusation which is made against
US. The accusation, that we are sup
porting German reaction and chauvin-
ism; that we are assisting Germany
to prepare for a war of revenge
against the victors of yesterday, in
other words, that we are the most
dangerous enemies of democracy and
of the peace of Europe. 1t is not pure
coincidence, that these new 'proors"
of our red imperialism" are very
much needed by the bourgeois gov
ernments at the moment, for all the

THANKS to the efforts of the Ger
l. man social-democratic lackeys Of
the entente, fairy tale was printed
in a great liberal organ in Great Brit
ain some time ago. This fairy tale,
after making the rounds of the vari-
GUS European editorial offices, finally
retired to a place unknown and ap-
parently gave up the ghost. The SEN
sation did not last long, although it
must be admitted that the wings of
this fairy tale fluttered so beautifully
as TO give an illusion of truth.
According to an agreement be-
tween the military authorities of the
Soviet Union and of Germany, several
German firms built three factories a
few years ago within the territory of
the Soviet Union for the purpose of
producing certain necessities of our
defense, so runs the story. Amongst
these things were aeroplanes, poison
gas, shells, etc.
If the beautiful fairy tale had only
been supplied with these wings, then
it would certainly never have been
able to fly; its attempts would only
have produced laughter. Its parents
were also aware of this deficiency and
they therefore added the following:
The war material which was, or which
will be produced in these factories, is
only partly to be used for the defense
of the Soviet Union, the greatest part
Of It to be sent to . Germany! A
short while ago no less than six YES
sells loaded with all these good things,
arrived in Stettin from Leningrad. In
other words, these factories are work
ing for the German reichswehr and
for-the German black hundreds, thus
driving carriage and pair thru the
Versailles treaty and assisting the
cause of monarchism and nationalist
reaction in Germany!

Anti-A|ien Bill Is Masked Attack Against UnionSr

Prevents Naturalization of MiIItants.
To urge each alien unionist to be-
come naturaIized as soon as possible
the duty of every revolutionary
worker-would not help matters much
after the passing of the Aswell bill,
to the naturalization of militant work
ers. Section IL provides that the rec
ord of registration shall contain "any
information bearing upon the fitness
of such alien for citizenship" This
certificate shall be surrendered to the
judge of the Court of Naturalization
(Section %. With the information
recorded on the certificate that he is
fighting militant; with record of his
participating in strikes; Of his ar
rests for picketing, etc., he is not
likely to be found qualified" (Section
81 for citizenship.
Thus by ostensibly legislating
against the foreign born workers the
bosses will be better able to force
damnable conditions, open shop and
lower standard of living on all work
ers, native and foreign born. This
sinister scheme for disorganizing the
labor movement, for preventing the
organization of the unorganized, for
making Intellectual blunt weapons of
the trade unions would mean the dis
ruption of every progressive labor
movement, severe blow to Ameri-
cas- working class.
A United Front Against the AntI-AIien
Bills.
Every trade unionist should take
these matters up for serious debate
in their respective unions; send Wig
orous protests, calling attention to
these facts, to their press Grade I'M
ion papers, weeklies, monthlies, etc.;
broadcast the contents and conse-
quences of the anti-alien bills thru
every possible channel; urge the dis
trict and state organizations to send
in protests and participate in the or
ganization OF mass movement for
protection of the foreign born, against
the anti-alien bills. Only by intensive
and systematic publicity can the or
ganized labor movement be rallied,
presenting a united front which will
destroy this cleverly planned often
sive of the bosses, and forcing them
to retreat!

his leave to go, giving "such inform
alton in regard to his movements as
may be required" What an easy mat
ter it would be with the able assist
ance Of the A. F. of l.. bureaucracy
to prevent militant trade unionists
from actively participating at import
ant conventions and meetings; Of
keeping the choice of the rank and
file away from such deliberations;
to control thru questioning the aliens
the work and activity of every labor
organization; to spy upon and keep a
close watch over every radical move
ment in this country. A clever and
roundabout way of preventing the
constitutional guarantee of free
speech and assembly. All speakers
and organizers would become taboo
except those officially sanctioned by
the bosses, i. e., the bosses own lack
eys and paid labor lieutenants.
The bill goes even further and
would make practically impossible
the attendance of trade unionists to
their own meetings. Section pro-

BY EDITH RUDQuIsT.

TNHE Aswell bill purports to be aim
l. ed only at the alien population of
America, but upon closer analysis
its provisions are found to be of vital
concern to every worker, alien or ma
tive; especially every worker who is
trade unionist.
1t was shortly after the "red scare"
of 1920 that the first of the anti-alien
bills was introduced in congress. 1t
was then thot to be rather easy
hing to put across such legislation
because the bulk of Americas native
population actually believed every
word the capitalist press printed
Ibout the vicious reds, bolsheviks
and anarchists" and these laws seek
ing to fingerprint, register and photo
graph the aliens were said to be 'for
the protection of the natives against
the onslaught of this undesirable ele-
ment." These earlier bills evidently
didn't pass muster in the Committee
of immigration and Naturalization
where they were sent for further con-
sideration.
The AsweIl Bill Against the American
Workers.
The Aswell bill however, stands
good show of being accepted verba-
tim. It's provisions outwardly appear
less fragrant, its language is milder
but the purpose sought for is there,
i. e., discrimination, not only against
alien workers but against all workers,
alien and native alike.
Its aims thus being properly yelled
and containing sufficient technical
legal phraseology to get the neces-
sary loop-holes, no doubt its constitu
tionality will be upheld and the COM
mittee will recommend it's adoption
to congress.
Smoke Screening.
The commissioner of immigration
recently showed surprise that anyone
should protest against the anti-alien
bills, saying, American citizens are
frequently called upon to record
themselves upon official registers.
Any sound and responsible govern
ment would expect and require that
resident aliens should similarly in
dictate their willingness to become
and remain law abiding part of the
population by properly submitting
themselves to enrolment in official
records" This is the sort of propa-
ganda broadcast by the capitalist
press to blind the natives as to the
true issues involved. Every Ameri-
can worker, every trade unionist must
become fully aware of the fact that
neither the Aswell bill, nor the other
anti-alien bills are for the protection
Of the natives, but are vicious
schemes for blacklisting all workers
so as TO better be able to hinder, yes,
even stop all trade union and other
class conscious activity of the work
ers.
Attacking Trade Unionism.
Section of the act requires among
other things that whenever any alien
is temporarily absent from the dis
trict in which he is registered no
shall report at such times and places
and give such information in regard
to his movements as may be requir-
ed" What sort of information will
be required? Political and trade UNI
ion activity, most essentially. What
effect would this have? Suppose
