NOT A PARTY ACHIEVEMENT

As was to be expected, Herbert Hoover has let the country under stand that he considers the Kellogg Briand mutilateral treaty great achievement of and by the Republi- can party. It would be too bad, how ever, if this claim were emphasized | during the political campaign. The most serious result would be that Democratic senators might take the claim seriously and begin opposing I the treaty on political grounds when it came up for ratification in the Senate. Mir. Kellogg himself is somewhat alarmed over the prospect of throwing the treaty into politics and lost no time in radioing his displeasure.
 This treaty should be kept out of the political campaign. President Wilson no doubt regarded the League of Nations as a party achievement in the sense that the League was form ed through his instigation and sup ported by his Democratic admins tration. But that very fact helped to defeat it in the Senae. There were many Republicans. senators and others, who favored the League un- til it was made a party football Then came the crash.
 Chairman Borah of the Foreign Relations Committee is on record as saying he did not think the multilat- eral treaty would have much diff. culty in being ratified in the Sen- ate. But this was before Hoover started claiming it as great party achevel it. Friends of the treaty should do all in their power to soft pedal the political side in such an important international movement. What should commend the treaty to the Senate is the fact that 1t con- tains no provisions that if any na- tion starts an aggressive war in violation of it's principles the other to to 1Y.;tI l, such nation. It therefore is not a peace and war" treaty. The multi lateral Kellogg treaty merely speci- fies that in case of violation the of lending nation is branded as an outlaw It's moral force, therefore is greater than in the case of q "peace and war; treaty II is new international law. The signatory nation which scraps it immediately is out of the pale of international law. all relations with other nations Immediately are severed. and inter- national odium is the we'll -merited rebuke.
 Far from being q party achieve lnent such q treaty is ill reality a re- turn to the principles of internation- al good will as inculcated and sponsored by President Wilson. The war president failed to climax his 1 f points with success in his own country, although the League was born all the same. But who can say politicians and the politically minded alone excepted, that the multila,eral treaty is not an edifice built upon the seeds of international good will soWn at most trying period by a Democratic president?
 The nation has had one experience of what can happen if politics is injected into g treaty ratification Let there be no more of it.

right out into the thing as did in
this strike. What changed me? Well,
maybe it was when they put my two
boys in jail that did it, don't know
l used to always stick in the house
and sew patchwork quilts. Never
went out nowheres,- you just couldn't
get me away from them patches. And
my lands, / was sick all the time!
But now that I've got out fightin'
and organizin' like this, don't know
sick day And | don't spend time
cleanin' my house, either, the way
used to. l used to think, if l didn't
mop up that kitchen floor every day,
something terrible would happen.
But now-now just leave everything
and go out and fight. Pappy, he
cleans up the place and washes the
dishes. My boys don't have a clean
shirt to their backs half the time, but
they don't, care. just want to go
out and FIGHT all the time!"
Pm the only American woman in
this town that amt stickin with
Lewis" Mother Guynn will tell you
to her sorrow. "They talk about
Hunkies, but believe me, it's the
Hunkies that's dom the fightin' in
this strike, and | stick with them
And if it comes to that, l think the
Hunkies will have to go out and teach
the Americans what's good for them. I"
1t is when she talks to the Lewis
men that Nav Guynn's best fighting
spirit reveals itself. A steely CLEAN
comes into her light brown eyes and
a threatening ring to her deep voice
"You poor m S e + a b e, low-lived
things" she says to them. "Do you
mean to tell me you've signed over
to John L. Lewis after he's robbed
you and sucked the life blood out of
you all these years! Just because he
promised you dollar a week more
for relief. And you won't even oct
the dollar I've seen the time in this
strike when we didn't have a crumb
of food in our house for four days
together. And did John L. Lewis
help us? Don't you ever come near
me with any of your dirty yellow-dog
Lewis papers," she shouts, shaking a
powerful fist in their faces. eff you
do I'll smash your face in so you'll
never see again"
No yellow dog paper will ever come
near Mother Guynn. She is feared
by the Lewis gang in town as much
as she is respected by the Save-the-
Union people. We take off our hats
to her, to NAV" Guynn, the fighting
leader of the mine women. Sisters of
the working class everywhere, let us
follow herl Let us leave our kitchens
and in them our fears and sorrows of
the past. Let US organize and join
the fight of all the workers for the
freedom of our class!

labor literature and to make punish
able with prison terms the mere dis
cussion of politics, economics or re-

The Greek workers are enraged at
the attempt to destroy the Communist
Party which has strong roots among
the laboring masses and it is believed
that the passage of the bill will be
the signal for general disturbance
which may result in the disappear
ance of the present government.
1t is unofficially reported from sew
eral sections in the north that action
looking towards this end has already
been taken
The federal government employees
have already passed a resolution de-
claring for an immediate walkout of
the entire civil service as soon as the
illegalizing measure is passed.
The present situation was precip-
itated by government action in at
tempting to employ force against the
striking tobacco workers at Kavalla.
The tobacco strikers are demanding
recognition of their union and gov
eminent prohibition of the export of
unfinished tobacco, struggle which
they have been carrying on for years
with the federal government.
The present strike represents the
first complete cooperation between
the members of the two tobacco work
ers' unions, between which the gov
eminent engineered a split, admitting
one into the Greek Federation of La
Dor and excluding the larger union,
which is under Communist leadership
