The Italian section, at one time
a very strong section of the Party,

result that many of the fractions
found themselves loose, detached

The Best Preaching Won't Bring Peace

VIII these professional war-makers
take to peace?
Just as a fish takes to the dry
land!
We are for peace, delegates to the
American Peace Society Centenary!
We include millions of workers and
farmers who hate war as they hate
imperialism, capitalism. and the
whole social system that is built on
business-for- profit But long ago we
gave up any idea that war ends war,
or that war-makers can be relied on
to establish peace. We are relying on
our own propaganda for peace and
struggles for peace.
We are going to have peace,-when
the workers and farmers of the world
unite to end the economic system
that makes war.

BY SCOTT NEARING.

American peace society delegates,
assembled at Cleveland, Ohio, to
celebrate one hundred years of the
society's work, have made a bad be-
ginning. One Sunday they had preach
ers all over the country praying for
peace. The next day they welcomed
the German, French and English am
bassadors to the United States.
Back in 1917.
There are about 100000 preachers
in the United States. How many OF
them offered prayers for peace on
May 6 of this year, we do not know.
But we are quite certain that, with
a few honorable exceptions, these
preachers were praying for victory,
recruiting and blessing machine guns

Wall Street Has
Made Slaves of
the Haitians

THE Haitian people are convinced
I that the American government de-
liberately sent the marines to Haiti
to take the life of every Haitian, as
was stated by Jolibois Fills, the editor
of Courier Haitien," one of the daily
newspapers of Port-Au-Prince. Not
only, their lives are taken but all that
they have, because they are Negroes.
The United States took $4,000 IN
gold from the National Bank of Haiti
in 1915, In 1926 the United States
took in the Haitian Republics name
S3O,000,000 from Wall Street, which
was divided between Wall Street and
the so-called President Of Haiti, Mr..
Louis Rorno.
They put white superintendent in
every office and department of the
republic. They have IS per cent of
the office employees, white Americans,
with SIS per cent more salary than the
few Haitians that they left in the
offices, not willingly, but because
their work cannot be done by any one
who has not French education, as
most Of the Haitians. That is also
the reason why Mr.. Russell, the So
called "High American Commission
err" in Haiti is trying to get the Hal
tian peasants out of their homes by
force, because they have refused to
sell their lands to the Wall STREET rep
rasentatives in Haiti who want to
have lands for new plantation of
rubber.

ching parties and firing squads that
will be organized in the next Var
period.
There is nothing wrong with the
bulk of preachers. They are earnest,
devoted, well intentioned folks who
DO the best they know how. They suf-
fer, however, under two handicaps:
.(D a lack Of knowledge about the
world they live in; ~ incomes
drawn from business-for-p profit. The
world they live in is a world that
spends billions each year in active
war preparations. Business for pro-
fit uses war as one Of its chief assets
in conquering "undeveloped" territory
and smashing dangerous rivals.

as result of preaching. Peace will

That is true. )
Also, they were preaching peace
before the last war and will doubtless
preach peace after the next war. But
during that war they will undoubtedly

The answer of the Save-the- Union
Committee to the corrupt officialdom
in District IL has been a call for a
state convention to take the neces-
sary steps to Dust these misleaders.
The convention will be held in Belle
vile on May 10Th.
Depicting the condition Of the
union, the unity Of the officialdom
and the operators to destroy the
union, the necessity OF winning the
Pennsylvania Ohio strike and the
struggle for national agreement, for
the organization of the non-union
fields, the call closes showing how
necessary it is for the miners to rally
around the convention in order to
save the union for the rank and file.
The convention call is in answer to
the officials who have been signing
separate district and local agreements
having Illinois scab ON the eastern
fields.
Membership Rallies to Save Union.
The unity of the officialdom ex-
presses itself in these agreements
which are made to check the prog
ress Of the Save the Union Commit
tee. Without a specification of time
in the agreements it leaves the way
open for the operators to break them
whenever they wish and is conclusive

 To Conduct Breakup Contest

Thomas Jones, mayor and sever al times member of the Nenana town council and proprietor of the Nenana Gardens. will be manager of the Nenana ice pool this year. assisted by committee of equally prominent citizens of the interior town who were selected at a meet ing held recently to get the annual breakup classic under way The members are: Harry Davis. sour dough business man: Floyd Stone. Alaska railroal agent; Billy Thom- as, proprietor of the Railroad Ci- gar Store: Harry Carr, long con- nected with the Southern Hotel and a prominent Pioneer: Ed Lund, al- so active in Pioneer circles: John R. (Dixie) Hall, of the N. C. store; Henry Kaiser, Nenana city electri- clan, who will have charge of the electrical arrangements for regis tering the official time of the breakup Nearly all of those se- lected to serve on the 1928 com mittee, have served previously in similar capacity and are familiar with the intricate details of the work. Manager Jones also has served on earlier committees and is hopeful of making the 1928 sweepstakes the biggest in the his- tory of the Nenana contest.
 The contest will close this year on April 14th. several days ear Her than usual. in order to give the committee ample time to list the tickets before the breakup oc- CUTS. The guessing has reached such proportions that the commit tee must have more time to com plete it's listing. particularly in view of the possibility of an early breakup.
 The Nugget has been informed by Manager Jones that considerable money already has been received at Nenana from remote districts with requests that tickets be marked in
