demning the poor equipment, the
frosted" life boats (the rusted gear
hindering their free release) and the
complete negligence Of the officers.
The reporter finally succeeded in
convincing one of them that he was,
not concerned with getting anyone's
number, that, although he was white,
he wanted to get the real story. The
seaman told him confidentially that
he had read the Daily Worker and
listened to some of the Communist
speakers on the Harlem streets, and
that he thought the reporter was
not "spotter."
"You can't blame any of these
boys for not wanting to talk. Of
course, we all know that the boys
got to watch out for the spoilers"
Spoilers" seem to be an ordinary
phenomenon for the seamen and it
was very plain to them why the ship
wrecked Negroes did not speak.
On the sly the seaman told the
Daily Worker reporter that a friend
Of his, one of the shipwrecked crew,
who was the last to leave the boat,
would soon be out. Maybe l could
get him to talk. He told the re-
porter that the shipwrecked seaman
would come to his house at night and
tell the whole story. When l tried
to have myself invited to his house,
he refused.
YOU'D be mobbed if you come
down there. A white man never sets
foot there. They boys would think
I was bringing you up to see some
of the girls. And my friend himself
wouldn't talk if he saw you there.
1t was impossible to get the re-
porter an invitation.
But shortly the shipwrecked Negro
came out. White men at the door
watched him closely. AS soon as he
saw me in the group he began to
make his way off across the street.
l managed to stop him.

citizens gained ten times that sum.
The fiction of government expenses
is an article invented to impress
simple souls. Americas enormous
realth was born in the war. Even
the help given to Europe was a

See World Conflict.
The Tevere rorsees the present
struggle as a preluding conflict
which may end in the eclipse of
Europe. It states:
eve are at the beginning of
great drama Of Anglo-American ri
valry. Rivalry, perhaps, is not the
word because it is battle between
two forms of imperialism. The first
is old, the other new; the first is in
decadence, the other just awakening
to life. British military imperialism
now appears to be behind the times.
Certainly it is beaten in all four cor
ners of the world.

Seamen Defiant.
AS whole the seamen are angry
at the treatment the crew got at
the hands of the capitalist news
paper reporters, and there is pre-
vading spirit of sullenness and de-
fiance along South Street.
Later, at the International Sea-
mems Club, 20 South Street, two
eamen who had spoken to mem
oers of the crew yesterday, told the
reporter that the captain steered his
ship at the rate of 18 or 19 knots
an hour, broadside' to the waves,
during the height of the gale, thus
causing openings in the joints.
Many seamen would not believe
this story for skipper who had
been on the seas for 40 years would
never have taken this action, which
meant sure death for such an old
ship. According to the version of
other sailors, the captain, in an at
tempt to right the ship, which had
left port with a list, had run broad
side to the gale in order to shift the
cargo.
1t was this action which caused
the heavy side waves, and battered
the hull, which was already not sea-
worthy. Some sailors expressed the
opinion that the captain had tried
to right the ship himself and thus
avoid paying for salvage, which
would mean great expense for the
company. If he had succeeded in
his gamble with death he would
have been commended as an able
seaman by the company. But he
lost, and over a hundred were
drowned.

by chapter. But I'm careful who
I'm talking to-"
Memories of the scene were too
poignant. And some escaped him.
From him the reporter learned that
he and other members of crew who
were below in the forward part of
the ship were not warned or called
to save themselves, and only came
on deck when the listing of the ship
was great enough to alarm them.
Many of them thought that things
were all over when they came on
deck and saw all was in chaos. 1t
was a question of everyone for him
self. The captain and officers were
nowhere to be seen. He just began
to speak about the white passengers
when he stopped short and wouldn't
say another word.
= Il can't tell you a word, boy"
That was all the reporter could
get from him and he did not succeed
in meeting any other members of
the crew.
What About the Crew?
The seamen at the Institute all
defended the crew and called the
capitalist newspaper accounts all
lies.
"They only print what the pas
sengers say, and what the hell do
the passengers know about ships?
Why don't they ask the crew."
"The officers are all over at the
hotel and that's where the capitalist
reporters get their stories. They
keep the crew down here and watch
them"
when ship goes down and the
officers desert her, then the crew
has every right the passengers have
to save their lives. There's no diff
ference between passenger and a
member of the crew."
"All these lies in the paper about
the Negroes! You can't blame any,
body for saving himself when a ship
goes down. Everybody was ex-
cited"
