Kellogg Talks Peace,
Prepares for War

AS labor organizations and work
ers of New York are preparing to
demonstrate against the imperialist
war danger, at Union Square, Aug
ust A, at the fourteenth anniversary
of the opening of the last world
slaughter during which millions of
workers were murdered in the fight
for the redivision of the capitalist
markets, word comes from Berlin of

airplanes in preparation for the
next imperialist war. These planes,

weight and specially constructed for

voices in protest against the keeping
of American gunboats in China, the
slaughter of Nicaraguans by Amer
