He urged all workers to join the
Workers (Communist) Party of
America and in a short talk on the
recent aspects of American imperial

American big business, describes the

refuses to arbitrate in Mexico. re-

"The issue is one of stocks and bonds

Of Mexico says that he fights for a
greater life and broader freedom
for the common man. We must say
to Coolidge, if this is the case, as
you and Gales say, then we are for
the oppressed peoples of Latin Amer

He also called for complete sup

Ruthenberg Describes Party Role.
The last speaker on the program
was G. Z. Ruthernberg, Secretary of
the Workers Party. He is still I'M

between the old revolution and the
present one.
Where formerly we had blind pro-
tests, brought on by starvation and
intolerable oppression, now we have
intelligent, organized and class con-
scious revolution.
There is now a science of which
the founder was Karl Marx. Eenin

Chinese Workers Who
Accept Leadership of
Lenin March Forward
BY J. LOUIS ENGDAHL.

THE New York Times urges an
L American imperialist attitude
toward China contained in these
words:
"This is no time either for undig-
nified efforts of Precipitation or
for the use of force"
That is a rather healthy attitude
for the imperialists on the day fol-
lowing the wide distribution by the
Shanghai General Labor Union of a
leaflet concentrating the anniver-
sary Of Lenin's death and calling
on the workers of China to con-
tinue fighting for Lenin's princi-
Piles and the furtherance Of the
revolution in China. and turnout
the world. II is what the "dollar
diplomats" call "watchful watt
ing"
But this does not mean that inn
perialism surrenders the least bit
in its ambitions to maintain it's
prefit grip upon the Chinese ma
ton. The venomous serpent mere
ly recoils in the hope Of soon being
able to strike again. To scotch
the hydra-headed reptile is as much
the concern Of American labor as
it is of the Chinese people.
-
Battleships of many bandit ma
tons, especially of the United
States and Great Britain. are con-
verging on China. It is the obvious
intention to crush every attempt,
if possible, Of the Chinese revolu-
tionists to take over their own sea-
ports. They have already learned
that the avalanche of opposition to
imperialist rule is so great in the
interior that any attempt to hold
the great inland cities of China
would be another Napoleon's march
on Moscow, with the difference that
the Chinese cities would persist,
while the invading hosts would be
utterly destroyed. The New York
Times again declares:
"Under these circumstances the
policy of the United States gov
eminent to withdraw its nationals
from places of danger and to de-
fend them if they are attacked at
enc or two points of concentration
at Shanghai and Tientsin (sea-
port of Peking) is wise. To en-
deavor to protect them in the in
terror is as impolitic as it would
be difficult. Despite the fact
that she Great Brittany was ap-
parently abandoned her concession
in Hankow, she is planning to
make a stand at Shanghai, in which
place she is concentrating most Of
the British nationals who have
been living in the Yangtse Valley"
But the Times is quick to add
that, "Our policy Of benevolent in
action should not be taken to imply
an abandonment of our rights.
The only right that Wall Street
Imperialism seeks in China is the
right to profitably invest its sur
plus wealth stolen from labor at
home, thus still further enriching
itself. On this basis, the imperial
lists of the world find a common
basis of struggle, linking the war
ships of all the profit nations in

MANY ARE SEEKING VIEW
OF LINDBERGH PARADE
Fair Business Reported in Sales
of Seats in Window Spaces on
Pennsylvania Avenue.

While there has not yet been a
brisk business in window spaces along
pennsylvania avenue for view of the
Lindbergh parade tomorrow, there
was a fair amount of trading for
advantageous seats ranging in price
from $3.50 to $3.50 per seat.
In addition private stand was
erected at the southeast corner of
Fifteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue, which police reported had the
permission of the Treasury Depart
ment which controls the Government
owned land in that block, where seats
were selling for an average price of
SO apiece.
The trading for vantage posts in
the upper floors of buildings lining
the route of the parade today was
not as widespread as at inaugurations
and the prices asked were lower than
at such times. Whole windows could
be had at flat rate of $40 to $12.

Field From New Jersey.

Two huge mail sacks, bullying with
letters addressed to Col. Charles A.
Lindberg, Washington, D. c., "via air
mail" were flown into Washington
today by two famous air mail pilots,
Shirley j. Short and Harry G. Smith.
The two airmen, each plotting a

merce under the provisions of the air
commerce act. Application for the
registration of the Bellanca plane was
filed with the Department of Com
merce by the Columbia Aircraft Cor
poration Of New York City. The plane
was manufactured in September, 1926,
according to the statement on file in
the department.
After examination by an inspector
of the aeronauticS branch of the de-
partment the plane was registered as
an aircraft of the United States and
assigned the identification mark
NX237, which designates it as an eX-
perimental ship, licensed to engage in
international flights.
In his application for a license
Chamberlin said he had flown $500
hours, which since has been supple
mented by nearly 100 hours on the
endurance flight and the transoceanic
hop. He said he had built and con-
verified 231 airplanes since 1919. The
numerals "140" painted on the side of
the fuselage were placed there during
the national air races at Philadelphia
to designate it for the spectators and
the judges. In the races it was flown
by Lieut.. c. c. Champion of the Blu
reau of Aeronautics, Navy Depart
ment, holder of the present seaplane
altitude record.

WRG|N|ANS DROP
RECEPTION PLANS
Gov. Byrd to Take Part in
Welcome Here-0therS Call
Off Greeting at Capes.
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

NORFOLK, Va, June 1O-Gov.
Byrd of Virginia. will not attempt to
welcome Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
when he enters the Virginia Capes
aboard the u. S. S. Memphis this aft
ernoon, but he will go to Washington
tomorrow morning, where, at the in
vitation of the President, he will take
part in the official reception to the re-
turning aviator.
Mayor S. Heth Tyler of this city,
who also had planned the journey to
the Capes aboard a private vessel
with a party of Norfolk officials, also
has called off his plans for any sort
Of welcome.
Virginia's executive announced the
final cancellation of his planned vel.
come this morning following the re.
ceipt of messages from Washington in
which it was stated the cruiser would
not be permitted to halt in Virginia
waters or to receive greetings from
any other vessel.
Gov. Byrd had intended sailing to
the Virginia Capes aboard a private
yacht owned by Robert Daniel of
Brandon, Va. He had first thought
it would be possible to hold the
Memphis in these waters long
enough for the Virginia party to ex-
change verbal greetings with Col.
Lindbergh. When it was decreed that
the cruiser would not be stopped, the
governor believed it would be posi-.
BILE for the craft on which he would
be a guest to be brought close
beside the Memphis so that he could
signal his welcome. Officials at
washington, however, decided against
any sort of welcome prior to Wash
ington's reception.
we We're very anxious to go out
10 meet Col. Lindbergh aboard the
Memphis" Gov. Byrd said. "but in
Difference to the wishes of the Presi.
dent, who desires the first welcome
OF any sort to the returning aviator
be given in Washington, we changed
our plans.
Since these are Virginia waters
and we are Virginians, it seemed
wise to cancel our plans entirely and
go instead to Washington"

FORT MYER SCENE
Of WRIGHT FLIGHT
Lindbergh May Visit Place
That Pioneer Startled
10 Years Ago.

"When Charles Lindbergh comes
| to Washington he may visit spot
| which is historic in the annals of
| aviation and emphasizes the amazing
| progress man has made in conquer
ing the air." says a bulletin from the
National Geographic Society.
For it was at Fort Myer that Or
vile Wright's biplane rumbled down
a creaky launching rail that looked
like a chute-the-chute at a country
fair, wobbled a bit in the air and
cruised around for 571a minutes.
THAT happened in September, 1908,
less than 10 years before Lindbergh
was able to fly across the Atlantic
Ocean.
Man never before achieved such
progress in any engineering problem
as he has attained in his conquest of
the air. Since classic times he has
dreamed of doing so, and for CEN
turtles he tried in vain to add a third
dimension to his travels.
Great Progress in Is Years.
"Yet within Is years of the Wright
brothers first flights the United
States Nays NC4 crossed the At
lantic in the air, an Army squadron
flew from New York to Alaska, two
Army birdmen spanned the continent
by a nonstop flight from New York
to San Diego, and our air mail planes
had delivered letters in New York &c
hours and II minutes after they were
postmarked in San Francisco.
1.-THE fifteenth anniversary Of the
Wright brothers flight has been
called the golden flying year for in
1928 Navy aviator set a dizzy speed
mark Of nearly 267 miles an hour, a
faster pace than man had ever trav-
eled; also Frenchman assembled a
mile higher than Mount Everest's un-
scaled summit, farther skyward than
man had ever climbed, and two
American military aviators made a
new duration mark of more than SO
hours in the air, longer than man
had remained aloft before.
1.-THE requirements of flying brought
many collateral inventions.
I'm March, 1924, two United States
Army aviators flew from Dayton to
Mineola without seeing ground for $50
miles Of the 575-mile trip. That flight
was epochal, for it marked the success
full testing of the earth-inductor COM
pass, the turn indicator and the in
clinometer, instruments which now
enable the aviator to navigate amid
the fog or above the clouds independ-
ent of railroad. river or highway
marks.
Earth.inductOr Credited.
ut was the earth-inductor compass
to which Lindbergh credited his sue
cess in keeping to his course.
1.-THE dependability of the airplane
has been demonstrated notably in the
United States by the air mail route
from New York to San Francisco
the longest air service line in continu.
Gus operation.
I'm 1922 air mail planes achieved
aggregate flights of nearly 1900, 600
miles without a single loss of life; in
the following year they carried more
than 65,000,000 letters, Travelled more
than a million and a half miles, and
completed all but Ill of the 7,S47 trips
attempted.
"Lindbergh was mail flyer, and he
has paid generous tribute to the in.
ventions of the Army and Navy Air
Services which made his flight pos
sible.'

".Where Is He?" Cob
On Destroyer Asks
Sailor on Memphis
By the Associated Press.

U. S. S. MEMPHIS, June To-
where's Indy" was the greeting
Of destroyer Humphreys COB to
a Memphis COB when the destroy
er's launch came alongside the
cruiser 430 miles off the Virginia
Capes to get mail sack.
Never mind, sweetie," retorted
the Memphis COB. Never mind
where Indy is, here's your bacon"
and the sailor put the sack over
the ships starboard side and
dropped a line into the hands
stretching from the launch.
Nearly all of the Memphis of
ficers turned out to witness the
coming of the Humphreys, but
Lindbergh kept snugly tucked in
his bunk, much to the disappoint-
ment of the destroyer's men and
officers.
There was no other exchange of
conversation between the ships ex-
cept an AYE, aye, sir" from Lieut..
J. P. Bernard in the launch ac-
