Told You So

headquarters on Park Ave. When
asked to pose in the act of laying a
brick the other day by a group of
photographers, he refused and ut
tered that vulgar expression "bolo-
ney." It's a toss-ur whether Al will
get more votes out of "boloney" than
he would by posing as bricklayer.
Now that Tammany has adopted
General Motors, or vice versa, per-
haps the head of the ticket does not
want to insist so much on his early
association with fish peddlers and
bricklayers.
DIFFERENCE was made recently
AZ in this column to the division in
the ranks Of the British Labor
Party, which under Macdonald has
completely lost it's proletarian char
acter and is but the servile tool of
British imperialism. Papers like the
Forward of Glasgow, once, and not
so long ago, looked upon as the ex-
preston of the radical wing of the
Scottish l. L. P, is strongly OPP
posed to Maxton, chairman of the
l. L. P; to Arthur Cook, secretary
of the British Miners Federation,
and to John Wheatley, minister of
health in the Macdonald govern
ment, who favor a conference of all
left wing elements, including the
Communists, to fight the right wing
leadership of the Labor Party.
| GEORGE LANsBURG, until re-
Gently regarded a radical by
those that did not understand that
he was simply a Christian preacher
in the wrong pulpit, is lined up with
Macdonald. That things are NOV
ing leftward in Great Britain is
proven by the vote cast at the an
nual conference of the South Wales
Miners Federation in favor of the
utilization of the Communist Party
with the Labor Party.
WHILE this is taking place in Eng
" land the leaders of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor prattle the
old gag about non-partisan political
action. The socialists continue to
beef about capitalist corruption and
hardly anything else, as if they re-
garded their function in society as
political scavengers, a party or
dained by the capitalist god to funni-
gate the capitalist stables. It makes
no attempt to organize the workers,
either for their immediate tasks or
their future emancipation. It's out
to get big vote for Doctor Thomas.
THE Workers (Communist) Party,
with Foster and Gitlow, two pro-
letarian revolutionary leaders at the
head of its ticket, participates in the
textile strike in New Bedford as
well as in the coal strike in Penn
sylvania and Ohio, in anti-imperial-
list demonstrations against the occu-
patton of Nicaragua and in every
other aspect of the class struggle.
1t is the duty of every worker to
support the Communist Party in
this campaign and to contribute to
the Communist Campaign Fund, of
which Alexander Trachtenberg is
treasurer, with headquarters at 43
E. 125th ST., New York City.
HERBERT HOOVER has been do
- ing lot of thinking over his
election campaign and the strain is
showing its effect. Calvin Coolidge
who is recuperating at summer re-
sort after several years of service to
American imperialism warns Her
bert to take care of himself; that
he is too useful fellow to kill him

hot weather and the stress of trans
acting immediate tasks for his ap-

tains, he would snap his fingers at
Old Sol.
"EIGHT more nations answer KEEL
logg" headline reads. This
means that the cabinets of SO many
powers have accepted the fake anti
war treaty submitted to the world
by secretary of state, Kellogg.
Workers who understand the rival
ries between imperialist powers and
who realize the inevitablitv of war
as long as this economic system
exists will laugh this off. There are
other gullible workers however who
will take it seriously. But it's a
fake, designed to fool the imperialist
rivals of the United States, partic-
ularly Great Britain, and to hull the
workingclass of all countries into
a sense of false security from the
dangers of imperialist war.
