It is believed here that the army

MORE APPROVE
peace" PACT
British See Screen for
Armament Race

LONDON July I'm spite of
obvious credulity concerning the
power of the Kellogg multilateral
peace treaties to function in time of
crisis, the British government is ap-
parently preparing to accept the
Kellogg pact tomorrow.
Comments in the British press are
frank in questioning multilateral
issues, stating that they are OBJ
viously designed to protect Ameri-
can investors abroad. Skepticism is
general concerning the feasibility of
the treaties.
That the arrangement will not
prevent the British from increasing
their armament activities while af-
fording them a diplomatic screen, is
the best feature that some sections
of the British press can see in the
Kellogg plan.

TALKS PEACE:
PREPARING WAR

WASHINGTON, July 17.-While
Kellogg talks of "peace" conferences
and treaties to "outlaw war" the
navy department is increasing its
forces and rapidly preparing for
war, figures on armament reveal.
During the session of congress.
just closed, larger appropriations
for the navy was made. The enlisted
personnel has been increased to 84,-
900. Of this number, 60,186 have
been assigned to the sea-going
forces and 23,814 will be sent to air
stations and other shore stations,
training posts, etc.
Officers Increasing.
The number of non-commissioned
officers is increased considerably
The plans call for an increase of so
chief petty officers, 124 first class
petty officers, 100 second class petty
officers, and 205 third class petty
officers. Another 252 are included
in non-rated groups.
In addition to the enlisted per-
sonnel, training will be given this
summer to more than 5000 reserves.
This means $4,000 sailors for war
purposes, in addition to those who
will be drafted.
New Warships.
While newspapers have been car
rying reports of disarmament" the
government has been constructing
two new modern cruisers, the "Pen-
sacola" and the "Salt Lake City,"
Both were completed last week.
The preparations for war are not
confined to ornaments and in
creases in the enlisted personnel
Efforts are being made to popular
ize the service, and for this purpose.
"Fleet Week" celebrations will be
held in Seattle August 6 to II, in
elusive.
False Propaganda.
A revival of world war propa-
ganda methods are seen in false
hoods published in "Our Navy"
such as stories that Sandino muir
ders wounded marines and even
wounded soldiers of his own forces
The authorities deliberately circulate
these falsehoods, despite the testi-
mony of those who have visited San

The struggle between imperial
ism and the colonies has been inten-
sified since the Fifth Congress
Since then the revolutionary move
ment of the Chinese workers anC
peasants has developed tremend-
ously as has also the national revo-
lutionary movement everywhere.
The antagonism between the So.
Wet Union and the capitalist worlc
has also intensified. During the
period of the Fifth Congress there
existed a fairly stable balance be-
tween these two worlds. Today
however, the balance has almost
ended.
Pacifist Talk Is Cloak.
These antagonisms tend toward
imperialist wars and intervention
Imperialist war is now the main
world problem before the League Of
Nations and disarmament talk is
nothing but a cloak for increased
war preparations.
Stain pointed out that the socia
democracy is the chief agent of i'm

the working class. The socia
democracy alone, however, is moi
sufficient for the imperialists, be.
