PACIFISTS AID

Aid Victory of big
Navy" Group


WASHINGTON, March Pros
pect of even more rapid naval build
ing was believed insured today after
the provision requiring completion Of
the 16 proposed ships in six years
was eliminated yesterday in compli-
ance with the request Of President
Coolidge.
Trick Wins Pacifists.
The removal Of the time limit, in
addition to the apparent reduction Of
the number of vessels, has given ar
opening to the pacifists who are now
giving more open support to the pro
posed program. But in reality the
doing away with the time limit does
not mean a slowing down of the pro-
gram. Rather it means chance tc
carry out the full II ship program
by building these 16 ships immedi.
ately, which was the Interpretation Of
Coolidge, offered when opposing the
time limit and at the same time urg.
ing the immediate laying down Of all
the cruisers and the airplane carrier
Rear Admiral Beuret, chief con.
structor Of the navy department, also
made Representations before the
house committee favoring doing away
with the time limit and was supported
in his arguments by Assistant Secre.
tary of the Navy Robinson.
No Conference Till 1881.
President Coolidge in commenting
on the proposed program stated yes
terday that in his opinion there viii
be no new disarmament" conference
until 1881, indicating that during tbs
coming three years the building coult
go ahead full speed without any in

rade Ruthenberg; when we assembled
here today and bent our mourning
draped banners over a new fresh
grave, this gathering, this funeral.
this meeting ought to serve as a sig
nal for q more energetic fight for
cur ideas. for our aims, and slogans,
Under whose banners Comrade Ruth
enberg carried the fight.
COMRADES, again the world is en-
v tering difficult stage in its de-
velopnient. Again we hear the march
to battle, again are ripening power
full historical events. And now to-
gether with the growing Chinese
revolution, with the conspiracy of
the imperialists against U. S. S. R.,
together with the threatening danger
cf war we hear the growing widen
ing call Of the communists. call to
carry on a systematic stubborn fight,
a call to organize our forces, a call to
raise the banners still higher, so that
the working class of all countries, the
oppressed peoples Of all lands, the
toiling peasants Of the entire world,
win meet the terrible hour in a diff
ferent manner from the one in 1914
when the working class was fooled
and stupefied by the bourgeoisie and
deceived and betrayed by the social
democrats. This preparatory work
of nobilizing our forces can be done
as it should be done by Communist
Parties only, and only the Communist
International, as the great interna-
tional bro. herhood of the working
class, which is marching towards
emancipation. Not for a moment,
not for i second shall our energy be-
come exhausted. On the contrary,
again and again we say to ourselves:
With the death of Comrade Ruthen-
berg we lost one Of the most active
workers of the Communist 1nterna-
tional. But we will answer this loss
with still greater efforts on our part.
We will answer this loss with still
stronger mobilization of our forces.
We will answer shis loss with more
energetic organization of our great
struggle, the struggle for the over
throw of the capitalist yoke. the
struggle for the emancipation Of the
entire oppressed humanity, a life and
death struggle against the forces of
imperialism, life and death strug-
plp for a C0ntuuniat society. for the
emancipation of all humanity And
at this time we say to ourselves:
Comrades, workers, proletarians
of all countries unite.
Courageously and fearlessly carry
on the great struggle.
Long i've our victory.
Long live the international Revolu-
tion.

Valuation Made.

After fifteen years of figuring, the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
completed its tentative valuation of
the railroads of the United States, it
has just been announced. The reso-
luton calling for valuation of the
railroad properties was sponsored by
the late Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette,
and it passed congress in 1913, The
commission has spent $130,000,000 in
complying with the terms of the reso-
lution.
In view of the length of time that
has elapsed, it will now be necessary
to do some more figuring so as to
bring the valuation up-to-date. All
valuations are as of dates ranging
from 1914 to 1919.
