Nov. 1S VA smau white walled room in the ob- servatory atop the highest hill on Yale's campus IS the office of man whose work affects the daily well fare of nearly as many persons as that of a Ford. Durant or a Rocke- feller, yet who is almost unknown outside his own professional circle.
 He Is Dr. Ernest William Brown. new president of the American As- tronomical association and Sterling professor of mathematics at Yale.
 On Q shelf in his office stands book almost as thick as dictionary. Dr. Browns Yale Tables of the Moons Motion." which he spent 70 years of mathematical calculations to produce. From this book and from computations of small group of Dr. Browns fellow mathe- maticians arc derived tables used by navigators to insure safety of life and merchandise carried on the seven seas. For the Yale tables the author received the gold medal of the Royal Society of England.
 The chief object in these labori- ous computations on the moons or bit was to discover whether the at fractions of the sun and all other known bodies in the solar system can account completely for the moons motion.
 Many times in the past it has been suspected that this attraction was not sufficient. Other forces have been invoked to account for out standing effects. such as electrical attractions and repulsions and mag netic effects. But Professor Brown showed conclusively that the motion can be accounted for completely by gravitation.
 Such calculations. say Dr. Brown's S associates. must be made, like poetry. when man is in the mood The Yale mathematician does much of his creative work in his study ot home and on his farm.
 This farm is like few others. It is a small. colonial place. near Salem. Conn.,, l50 years old, kept and beautified by Dr. Browns own hands. Four full months each sum- mer he spends there alone. for he IS a bachelor-raising his own vegeta- blc garden, refusing to have even a telephone to intrude There. when he pleases, he does profound re- search.
 At Yale his interests and com panionships are widespread. He travels about in one of the best known old cars on the campus. One favorite recreation of his is reading detective stories

 CONSTIPATION

More and more people are eating bran for "health's sake" these days. And it's a fine thing. But not every body realizes whata difference there is in so-called "brans." Doctors say it takes 100fo bran to supply enough roughage to relieve consti- patton. Part-bran products, at best, can only be partly effective.
 Kellogg's ALL-BRAN is 1oo9s bran. It furnishes roughage 1T effective quantities-and in th- most effective form: cooked anG krumbled. It does a work part-bral products cannot hope to equal. Twr tablespoonfuls daily-chronic cases with every meal-are guaranteed to relieve constipation.
 Serve ALL-BRAN often. Wit milk or cream-fruits or hone, added. Be sure you get genuint Kellogg's though-in the red-and- green package. Use it in cooking. Sprinkle into soups. ALL-BRAN is sold by all grocers. Served every where. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek. ',

cabinet. He is reported to be in
hiding in Mexico City. Morones is a

of the most reactionary leaders Of
the Pan American Federation of
Labor, outstripping at times Green

The Panhandling Trust.

It's rather funny when John D. Godfrey
mendicant officer of the Brooklyn Bureau of
Charities, as quoted in a capitalist newspaper
conducting a campaign against panhanders
complains that 1000 beggars are making a
good living in New York City-chiefly from
panhandling in the subways. Just at the time
when the Interborough subway millionaires are
doing neat little "panhandling" job to COM
pei the payment of 7-cent fare that will
mean an increase of 40 per cent in their gross
income, or hundreds of millions of dollars, this
reference to subways looks suspicious. But
perhaps that is only secondary to Mr.. Godfrey
His primary purpose appears to be the pro-
motion of the lucrative business of the COR
gained charity" The charity monopoly is
losing something like S30,000,000 year, ac-
cording to this complaint, which is being picked
up by pencil-peddlers or by plain moochers The
crippled and broken victims of capitalism no
longer able to work and those unemployed who
may have given up hope of obtaining employ
ment, should still be slaves of the charity trust
according to the theory of the professional
charity organizers. Keep off the street, you
bums," they say in effect, 1--WE have mon
opoy on handouts and mooches."

By HARRY CANNES
and LEON S. RUIZ.

When Jose de Leon Toral, the 23-
year old art student, fired five shots
into the body of Alvaro Obregon,
president-elect of Mexico on July
18th, what a sigh of relief must
have escaped from the breast of
Wall Streets ambassador to Mexico,
Dwight Morrow!
Let us not be mistaken about
Obregon. He was not the foremost
enemy of American imperialism in
Mexico. His own pockets had been
lined through the sweat and blood of
the Mexican peasants. Oregon
found the revolution of 1910 profit
able to him; it not only gave him
political power but wealth. At the
same time, he had the support of
Mexico's revolutionary armed pea
SAINTS. He was the national unifying
force of these peasants. He based
his power upon their armed strength.
Obregon was by no means tool in
the hands Of Morrow such as Macha-
do, president OF Cuba, is in the clut-
ches of Wall Street.
Murder of Obregon Political.
The murder of Obregon was not
an accident or personal matter.
The combined enemies Of the one
armel general had attempted to as

made against Obregon.
The blame for the murder OF
Obregon was first laid to the church
by the chief of police when he said
he was ALREADY in a position to
make public that the responsibility,
for the crime belongs to the catholic
clergy" These very same catholic
clergy had been dancing quadrilles
around Wall Street, and were not
averse to a few murders to bring
back the happy days in Mexico when
everything was owned by the church
In later days, they were willing to
divide this honor with Wall Street
on the assurance of support from
this quarter.
Morones Friend of u. s.
Imperialism.
But now new charges have been
made. Contrary to the usual custom
the assassin has not been executed
summarily, but is being held in the
hope Of further confessions. Open
charges against Morones are being
hurled from the Obregonist camp.
He is called the psychological author
of the crime MQpnes with some of

Oppressed Must Learn Use of Arms to Cast
Off Slavery

AGAINST military training? What
kind of face will you have when,
on the one hand, you fight military
training in the City College of New
York and other colleges, and, on the
other, you institute military train
ing in your own schools?" Others,
however. are not so naive, they
are "for" the military training "in
principle"-but they raise all kinds
of arguments against it Gin prac-
tice"-"We aren't prepared for it
now" It'll bring all kinds of
'trouble,'"' and so on, arguments
that amount to the same thing in
the end.
TO produce such "shocks" was pre-
cisely one of the detectives for
instituting military training in our
schools; that is, to dramatic in
clearest possible form our feminist
position on militarism and to utilize
this to effect a real work of clarifi-
cation. Already some good results
in this direction have been obtained.
Not Against All Militarism.
Our feminist position on militar-
ism and war is very clear aad GER
tain. We are NOT against war and
against militarism "as such" We
are against IMPERIALIST war;
we are against BOURGEOIS mill
tarism ii. e., the militarization of
the proletarian and farmer youth to
fight in the interests of the bour-
geois-ie). But we are in favor of
REVOLUTIONARY wars WARS of
oppressed colonial peoples against
the imperialist powers, civil wars of
proletarian revolution); we are in
favor of the military training of
the proletarian youth to learn to
use arms in the interests of their
class and against the bourgeoisie.
"An oppressed class that does not
strive to learn to use arms /. i. de-
serves to remain in slavery" lien
in). We are therefore opposed to
pacifism (Which opposes, "as a
matter of principle" ALL war and

bourgeois militarism.
1t is not, however, for the actual
military instruction, that military
training was included in our school,
curriculum. We realize very well
that under present conditions and
for the next period of time, the
chief way for US to obtain military
instruction is in the military organ
izations of the bourgeoisie Irregular
forces, National Guard, military
schools, R. 0. T. c., C. M. T. c.,
etc.. (Of course, as Comrade Cor
kic points out, Jugendinternationale,
May, 1928, the sending of our COM
rades into these bourgeois military
institutions implies no rejection
whatever of the attempt to set up
class organization of the proletariat
tc provide military training for
young workers"). Our chief reason
for including military instruction in
our schools is to make clear, in
way that mere teaching cannot it
self accomplish, to the students, to
the league as a whole, and to the
young workers, our feminist posi-
ton on the question of militarism
and our complete differentiation
from the pacifists. And here also
we are having success.
Correcting Pacifist Errors.
THE American league has had some
experience with pacifism. 1t was
not so very long ago that we were
very correctly branded as having
committed some of the worst pacif-
list errors-and the fault was not
all ours, but was shared by the
whole movement. Since then, how
ever, under the closest direction of
the Young Communist international,
we have gone good way towards
stamping out the last remnants of
pacifism in our own league ranks,
and in carrying on broad propa-
ganda of the feminist principles of
militarism and war among the
young workers, but we can even
now record to our credit some sue
cess in actual -militarist activi-
ties, some noteworthy accomplish
mdlts. But the important thing
above all is that we are on the
right track. ..

Catholic Church, Morones, Allied With Wall

sassinate him twice during the last
two months.
His main enemies were: The re-
dictionary clericals and the Catholic
church, which had been waging a
losing fight. Gales was beginning
to make important concessions to the
church, undoubtedly under the coach
ing of Morrow. They did not know
what treatment to expect from Obre-
gon.
Morones, the reactionary leader of
the Mexican labor movement, par
ticularly the Confederation Regional
Obrera Mexicana (CROM), was ex-
tremely antagonistic to Oregon.
He had threatened to meet the as.
cension to power Of Obregon with
armed revolt. He was also candi-
date on the Labor Party ticket
controlled by Morones against Obre-
gon. Though he was the only candi-
date against Oregon, he received
about 1000 votes. At recent ban

ALL military training) Just as fun
damentally as we are to bourgeois
militarism and in fighting against
the influence of bourgeois militar-
ism and jingoism over the working
class youth, we must at the same
time fight just as energetically
against the influence of pacifism.
Pacifism is a deadly poison to a
class fighting for its emancipation
in present-day relations pacifism is
most useful support and prop for
imperialism. To break the pacifist
illusions of many elements of the
working class youth and to win the
youth away from both jingoism and
pacifism to the revolutionary class
struggle is one of our most import
ant tasks.
BECAUSE of perspective of revo-
= lutionary struggle, we are will
ing, yes, anxious, to have the pro-
letarian youth learn the use of
arms-especially the most advanced
sections of the young workers-for
this training on the part of the
working class is very necessary
prerequisite for the, proletarian rev.
olution. "The bourgeoisie has mill
tarized the entire people-now it is
militarizing the youth. Tomorrow,
perhaps, it will militarize the wo-
men. So much the better. So
much the faster do things go for
ward-so much nearer is the armed
uprising against the bourgeoisie"
(Lenin). Our main task, of course,
is to prevent the young workers who
are being militarized from becom-
ing traitors to their class; it con-
sists in winning them for the pro-
letarian class struggle and getting
them to use their training for the
benefit of the workers and not
against their own class. This is
our main task and this attitude is
in no contradiction tom the con-
trary, it clearly falls. in with--our
bitter and most determined struggle
against new imperialist wars and
