Many workers, even militant
fighters, take a wrong attitude to
the problem of war, and speculate
a0out "when" war will come. To
flem; war consists of only the actual
e,,a-sic1 C armies. They do not see
tlat wars arise from rivalries be-
tween capitalist powers, and that at
the present time we are in an actual
var situation, in which the forces
jeading to the conflict are lined up
the inevitable struggle. Behind
snoke-screen of Kellogg "peace"
les, both military and ideologi-
lpreparations for war are being
made.
Today, the situation is clear. 1t

e'itable but is an immediate danger.

The process of development of

The cooperative organizations of
American farmers have not been
ny successful. Although they have

"See the World. Join,the Marines

These signs blaze in conspicuous
places near the employment bureaus
and about the public buildings.
The prosperity (for the capital
ists) of the republican party under
Coolidge and now under Hoover
needs servicemen who will fight for
the interests Of Wall Street in the
lands of the oppressed colonials.
OF one time, I too, served in this
Army of Imperialism that is enslav-
ing the peoples of Hawaii, Mica
ragua, Panama, the Philippines and
other colonies. We (the army of
enlisted men) aided the hirelings of
Wall Street and Washington to
break the natives of Wall Streets
empire. In Hawaii we broke their
strike for demands of better living
conditions and for recognition of
their union and right to organize.
Ir Panama we aided the puppet
government of the Republic of Pan
ANA to shoot down it's citizens in
their capitol city when they struck
for better housing conditions. In
the Philippines we have bayoneted
and shot down the natives for years
because our masters of the sugar
trusts bid US, and in Nicaragua we
are dying with malaria, and the
bullets of the outraged working-class
of that country, for our masters.
The service of the United States
Army have been guilty of these and
hundreds of other crimes against
the colonial masses. But we were
forced to do this by unemployment

lies of recruiting officers.
And we have also suffered.

By L. M. (Moscow).

The calumny campaign of the
bourgeois and social-democratic
press against Communism is per-
manent affair. Their slogans and
sensations, however, are changed
from time to time or rehashed.
One of the latest sensations Of
this kind lies in accusing the Com
munists of spying. This SANDER
was concocted during the autumn
season in Paris, but is now being
spread to other countries.
On this occasion the tone is be-
ing set by the Paris "Matin." Re-
Gently this paper has frequently
published articles and "reports"
under such titles as Everywhere
in France spying is being carried
on on behalf of Moscow" "The
Communists are spying for the So
viets."
The ''Matin" publishes "quota-
tions" from secret Special reports,
said to be addressed to the head
quarters of the French Communist
Party and alleged to contain va
rious data concerning the French
war industry and proposals for the
establishment of special nuclei for
commercial spying. Furthermore,
the Communists in France are re-
ported to have invented an abso-
lutely new spying system consist
ing of the posting to headquarters
of ordinary postcards with photo
graphs of important strategic
points in all parts of France, which
F. r~-t-cards are compiled by experts
at the party offices. The post
cards are all said to be marked
with the hammer and sickle (!!D.
The "Matin" is of the opinion that

the Communists will in this way
shortly have the whole defensive
system of France in their files. All
the material is then to be sent to
Moscow for the use of the Soviet
Government.
The allegations of the "Matin"
are, however, true in so far as the
organs of the G, P. F., especially
"Humanite," actually get from fac
tories letters telling of the inten-
sive war preparations of the
French bourgeoise. This is no Sc
eret, and "Humanite" has often
published in it's columns such let
ters from workers. The worker
correspondents of "Humanite" have
grasped the fact that the fight
against the danger of war is by no
means to be confined to mere talk,
but that it is important to fight
against the concrete forms of prep
aration for war. On the 14th an
niversary of the world war and
afterwards they illustrated by con-
crete facts at. their worksssthe re-
cent extremely intensive war prep
arations of the French bourgeosie.
On account of these simple work
ers' correspondence the bourgeois
press sounded the alarm. They
write about "high treason" and
Spying" All this outcry only goes
to show that the worker CORE
spondents have hit French militar-
ism in it's sensitive spot. The i'm
perialists and their lackeys are in
different to an abstract agitation
against war, but when it comes to
having concrete cases indisputably
proved to show that preparations
for war are being carried on in
this and that particular place, the
affair gets a little too concrete"
for the rulers and their flunkeys.

The Fourth Congress of the Work

the Soviet Union was opened in the
big Red Army building in Moscow
with over 500 delegates attending
as well as a delegation from foreign
countries. Great enthusiasm and
cheers went up from the tremendous

da, and recognized leader of the
Worker and Peasant Correspondents
movement of the U. S. S. R., opened
the Congress.
Foreign Delegates.
Comrade Ulianova pointed with
pride to the fact that for the first
time in the history of the Worker
Correspondent movement in the U
S. S. R., there were Worker Cor
respondent delegates from foreign
countries. "This contact will oper
for us the opportunity of personal
connections with foreign workers

convey to workers in capitalist
countries the difficulties confronting
us in building our socialist economy
Our work is not only for the
U.S.S.R. but for the workers of the
world, she explained.
She then introduced Comrade Buk
harin, editor of the Pravda, Contra
Organ of the Russian Communist
Party, who greeted the delegates
and then went into a detailed ac-
count of the tasks and duties con-
fronting worker and peasant cor
respondents. After his report there
were greetings by the Czecho'
Slovakian, German, French and
American delegates which were re-
ceived with much enthusiasm.
Victim of Kulak.
On the platform, among the men,
bers of the Presidium, a peasant
woman with her head bandaged in
surgical gauze aroused interest
Upon inquiry we learned that she
was Comrade Briliova from pro-
vince in the North Caucasus, that
her home was attacked in the dead
of the night by vengeful kulak,
her IA year old daughter killed and
she herself shot at II times because
she had courageously exposed his
plotting against the Workers Re-
public.
The speeches by Bukharin and the
delegates stressed this struggle
against the kulaks which is develop
ing in the villages. The kulaks are
the rich peasants who have lined up
with the counter-revolutionists, the
priests, and the white guardists in
their treacherous activity against

Bill Haywood's Memoirs.
"Big Bill" Haywood was for a
generation an outstanding leader in
the American labor movement. His
fame as a revolutionary leader be-
gan during the great labor strug-
giles of the Far West at the begin
ming Of the century. Cour d'Alene,
Cripple Creek, Leadville, Ludlow,
Lawrence and Paterson, the Meyer
Haywood Pettibone case, and the
Chicago I. w. W. trial, in which
Haywood played a prominent part,
are landmarks of class warfare in
America. Starting work in a mine
at the age Of nine, and throughout
his life in America, Haywood's was
a turbulent existence; he was in the
front line of every struggle. In
"Bill Haywcod's Book" the reader
will find a complete story of these
struggles and Haywood's part in
them, up to his departure for Soviet
Russia. An account of his life and
work during his sojourn IN the
Soviet Union is also included in the
book.

workers in the mines, steel mills, on
the railroads, in garment factories,
etc. Several well-known poems have
been included. A particular feature
of the volume is workers mass reci-
tations, rot published before.
