other thing that was very noticeable
was the social relationship between
seanen and passengers. No "Sea-
men not permitted on this deck"

on the promenade deck, and at night
when the passengers had a dance in

just seaman. For an office to curse

Tense. Some of you American sea-

ticable, that sailors or firemen would
take advantage, but let me tell you,

SEAMEN'S DEATH
RATE VERY HIGH
But British Board of
Trade Don't Say Why

LONDON, (By MaiD. - The
Registrar General of the British
Board of Trade, which is the highest
authority of the empires shipping
interests, remarks upon the death
rate among the seamen as follows:
"The seamen's comparative NOR
tally figure from all forms of dis
ease is stated at 1878, comparing
with 926 for all males, so that the
seamen's mortality from disease ex-
ceeds the average by 48.8 per cent,
and his mortality from violence-39O
against ia by 430 per cent,
Mortality is swollen by many
exotic diseases, representing a risk
to which the home population is not
exposed, and the traditional dangers
of the sea evidently retain consid-
cradle Importance"
While this is proven by the Board
of Trade, what it does to reduce the
death rate Of seamen is exactly
nothing. On the contrary, it reduces
wages, imposes rotten and disease
producing food on the seamen and
as in the Vestris case allows
British Subjects" as sailors on
British ships that should have been
junked years ago, to lose their
lives for British-which is to sav its
own-profits,

Big Gun Protection.
Why do Hoover and Coolidge pick
battleships when they go on peace
missions to Latin America? Why
are United States marines needed
for free Nicaraguan elections?
Coolidge gave the answer in his
Armistice, Day speech. The United
States business interests have "a
great treasure" to protect-an in
vestment of some 5 billion dollars
in the Latin American countries.
Empires have just one method of
protecting great treasures. Ask
British, French, Japanese and Amer
lean statesmen-they protect them
with big guns.
Why has Hoover gone to Latin
America before his Inauguration
There are two reasons.
1. Latin America is impotent be-
fore the onrush of United States
imperialism. They have no 36,167-
ton battleships and no 16-inch guns.
Hoover, circling Latin America on
the Maryland, is like sheep dog.
rounding up the flock on the way
to the slaughter house. One dog can
handle hundred sheep.
2. Europe is. the real centre of
danger to United States imperial
ism. There is Soviet Russia. There
is Britain, building her united front
against the American empire. After
Hoover is inaugurated he will need
AL of his time and energy to pre-
pare for the job of crushing Euro
pean resistance to the on-march of
the American empire. He picks this
time to make Latin America safe
for U. S. imperialism.
So he rides south on the biggest
and best battleship in the United
States navy, fishing, iauntily, as he
goes and giving Latin America a
chance to smell 16-inch guns. The
Havana conference shows that, for
the time being, that is enough.
After March 4th, he will settle
down to the real task of smashing
the British empire and making the
world safe for United States ex-
ploiters.

great individual child heroes-shoult
be allowed to reach the hands OF
the Russian child. Krupskaya, Len
ms widow, is foremost among those
who think this sort of literature
should be withdrawn, inasmuch as
it will instill in the child a false
individualistic, view of life, and tend
toward increasing child-egotism
which will hinder both the child and
the state in the struggle for the
building up of socialism. Other
leaders, however, believe that this
literature of illusion" does not in
fluence the child to any great de-
gree, but, on the other hand, helps
the child psychologically in that the
superficial delight in the intrinsic
merit of the story is healthful
whereas the fact of the heroes and
fairies are lost, and become mere
screws in a machine that delights
the child. Two of the Soviet lead
ers foremost in holding this view
are Lunatcharsky, commissar of
education, and Tchitcherin, the lat
ter of whom has completely COM
mitted to memory the poem "Croco-
die" by Tschukovsky, fantastic
tale of child hero who "accom-
plished incredible deeds and subdued
the wicked crocodile and made him
spew up a victim" The question
remains unanswered and the con-
troversy goes on. |, however, am
more inclined to believe that, in
spite of the faulty morals of the
play, it would have no permanent
adverse affect on the workers child
In spite of bitches in the presenta-
ton, the entire mood of the produc-
ton is scintillating, and raises the
play above the level of several of
its most glazing sentimentalities.
Eva LIE Gallienne as Peter Pan leaves
little to be desired. Egon Brecher
as the pirate captain, is perfectly
cast. And it is useless to enumer-
ate the others of a cast so uniform
ly good that special mention must
be given to all who appear on the
stage.

Fight Against Trotskyiism and the Right Danger

At a meeting of the enlarged Po-
litical Committee of the Cleveland
district of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party, a resolution was adopt
ed condemning Trotskyism and the
right danger, and endorsing the ex-
pulsion of Cannon, Abern and
Shatchman from the Party. The
resolution follows:
81. The meeting of the Enlarged
Political Committee of District Six,
held on November II, 1928, approves
fundamentally the expulsion of
Cannon, Abern and Schachtman
from the Party. The enlarged Po-
litical Committee calls upon the
Central Executive Committee to
clean the ranks of all leaders who
manifest any similar tendency in
the Party and emphatically con-
dennis the counter-revolutionary &C
tions of these eX-comrades.
"2. The enlarged Political Com
mittee declares that these ex-mem-
bers of the Central Executive Com
mittee who voted over and over
again against Trotskyism and ap-
proved the expulsion of Trotsliy and
other leaders of the opposition from
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union and the Comintern, but now
defend Trotskyism, demonstrate
that they both were unfit for lead
ership in the Party and have con-
sciously deceived the Party during
The past few years.
