The soul of our xpedition-the
airplane-was now somewhere out
in the unknown.
Throughout the day there was a
depressing stiffness on the ship. The
fog came back and vanisi.s1 again.
And then it returned anew, stealth
lily, like thief in the night.
At midnight the fog was scat

twenty-four hours that the airplane
had been away. At half past two
a cry rang out from the bridge:
"The plane is coming!" Immedi-
ately the whole vessel shook with
the tread of running feet, Flags
of "Welcome" were run up to the
masthead. Rockets scared up and
burrahs Numbered forth. Every
body rushed down to the ice to meet
the plane, which had alighted on the
ice at a distance and was already

a very strong east wind blew up,
snow began to fall, the. ships rig

with the plane. Again something
had gone wrong with the airplane's
radio apparatus.
The "Malygin" remained STATIC

a strange feeling. At first the ice

A Lame Duck Returns to England

Alanson B. Houghton has returned to his
post as ambassador to the court of the king
of Britain after his defeat as republican can
dldate for United States senator from New
York state. Thus we have another example
of the working of American democracy.
When a servant of Imperialism fails of cleo
tion even under the fraudulent forms of
democracy in vogue in the United States, it
does not disqualify him from holding office.
In other countries defeated politicians re-
main out of the picture until they again sue
ceed IN securing some sort of parliamentary
office. But in the United States when poll
tician becomes so discredited that he cannot
aspire to election even as a dog catcher he
lis taken care of by the political machine and
receives what is known as lame duck ap-
pointment
kellogg, defeated for United States sena-
tor in Minnesota where his record as a paid
pleader for the grain trust is too we'll known,
becomes secretary of state by lame duck
appointment. big BilP' Taft, defeated more
overwhelmingly for reelection for president
than any other person who tried to succeed
himself in that office becomes chief justice
of the United States supreme court also by
grace of lame duck appointment.
The return of Houghton to England as
ambassador is not surprising. What is of
passing interest is the sneaking, double
faced, deceptive role played by Coolidge in
the affair. When Houghton returned from
London to participate in his campaign for
senator he sent his resignation to the pres-
dent. Coolidge replied that he was sorry that
Houghton had seen fit to resign and praised
his record as ambassador. 1t was generally
taken for granted that the resignation had
been accepted. But when Houghton was de-
feated he was requested to return to-his post
and Coolidge explained that in his reply to
Houghton's resignation he merely expressed
his regrets but did not formally accept the
resignation.
Houghton's absence from London did not
impair the effective working of the Amer
lean embassy there, however Which again
shows that it is not the particular political
appointees who function as part of the gov
ernment machine but, as Lenin so often en-
phasized, a whole army of hirelings that
make up the bureaucratic apparatus of the
state. This apparatus functions at Washing
ton or London equally as we'll without the
government figureheads as with them
The Wall Street embassy at London, in
browbeating the British government, seems
to make greater progress than before not
because Houghton is superior (as he might
possibly be- to others who enjoyed less sue
cess, but because the power of American
imperialism, its domination in the capitalist
world, is so effective that it can carry out its
policies better than it did at a time that
Britain was the dominant power of the
world

departure they had reached King
Charles Land and alighted on the
ice-ledge frozen around the shore.
The island is mountainous and the
shores are stark, black granite walls.
The ridges of the hills are covered
with snow and ice. Three polar
beers were nearby as the plane came
down. Frightened by the noise, they
ran off into the hills. The aviators
set up the red flag on a neighbor-
ing cliff, stored the cans of gaso-
line near the shore and hurriedly
took off for the return trip. On the
way dense fog enveloped them.
They were forced to descend on the
ice and wait, and they had to wait
almost twenty-four hours. The mo-
tion picture operator took many
views and the world will see these
fantastic scenes of the north.
The next two days we remained
inactive while the aviators changed
the motor of the plane.
Finally, on June -, everything
was ready for d direct flight to Foyn
Island. Late in the evening we saw

thru a regular grilling before you're
allowed into that monkey house.
If you don't have Identification of
some sort they turn you out. The
first monk looks at your identified
ton and questions you. The second
monk looks over the names in a book
to see if you're not wanted by the
police or if you're not blacklisted.
And the third monk questions you
some more.
All the time there are monks
walking up and down and shopping
around and listening in to what
you're saying in line. We boys got
to be careful what we say, you know
Jesus, that place is like a regular
spoilers joint. The police, the ship
companies and the monks help each
other along.
After you get past those monks
sitting in their monkey cages then
you're alright for the night. They
herd you over on one side of the
hall and make a pretense of separ-
atlng the cleaner ones from the dir
tier ones. If you're dressed a little
nicer than the other fellow they put
you over on one side. But it really
don't make any difference. You all
sleep in the same dirty beds.
After they get thru seeing +ba+

go to sleep. You sleep altogether in

and no place to put your clothes.
so you sleep on the top of them.
You know, if you left them out.
there would be nothing left of what
you had in your pockets.
And while you're sleeping the big
bellied monks and cops walk up and
down watching you and listening in
to what you got to say. You see,
there's where the church and state
walks hand in hand.
AT five o'clock in the morning thew
turn you all out of your bunk. Thev
got some showers there but there
out in the open court yard without
any protection. And the water is
ice cold. So you don't take a bath
even if you feel like.
They herd you all into a large
mess hall and feed you some bread
cooked in water. You know what it
is, it's just stale bread they collect
from the bakeries in the city and
they dump it into some hot water.
And after you get thru eating that
you're done.
They turn you loose at six o'clock
and you go around trying to get
s...ip,.t.
And if you don't get ship that
day maybe you go back to the mon
key house again or just walk the
cobbled streets.

Lewises as the splitters of the trade union
movement
The sole defenders of the unity of the la
Dor movement against the disrupters, the
splitters, the red baiters and all the hirelings
of capitalism at the head of the A. F. of L.
are the Communists and the left wing of or
ganized labor. And it is precisely this van
guard of the whole labor movement that is
driving relentlessly forward toward the
mobilization of the masses of labor with new
and more powerful organizations preparatory
to the time when all the agents of capitalism
will go down to defeat before the revolu-
tionary fury of the exploited masses along
with the class they serve.

Political Significance of Case.
We felt that it was our duty to
support the cause of John Porter
as part Of our struggle against
Imperialism. Therefore, the ALL
America and Anti-Imperialist
League participated in this demon
stration. And the statements of
the government prosecutor regard
ing the increase in the penalty
shows the political significance of
this case; it shows we are not being
brought up here because we have
violated or have not violated some
technical regulation, but we are
brought up here because we repre-
sent a militant protest of the work
ing class, which the courts and the
authorities in this country are try
ing to throttle.
Will Continue Fight.
l wish to say for myself that we
will recognize no fine which the cap
italist courts may impose upon us;
that we will pay 10 fines imposed
upon us; and regal dless of what ac-
ton is taken here we will continue
to bring forward the case of John
Torter, and we will continue to ex-
rose the preparations of the imper-
ialists for another war-and we will
do this regardless of what the courts
may do to us, and regardless of what
the government, which is a tool of
Wall Street, may say about the
matter.

that we join our fight with the rest
of the working class in the United

withstanding, or at least not taking
into consideration, what race or ma

thing we want to know is that he
is worker and fighting for better
conditions. We join with him on
those grounds.
