A socialist Minister from Europe Visits
the Orient for the League of Nations

Mr.. Albert Thomas as their man to
direct the so-called labor office of
that organization. In this position
Mr.. Thomas has won new applause
from the imperialists, who love him
more than ever for his services in
keeping European workers away
from connections with the colonial
independence movements, in keeping
them fooled and stupidity obedient
to the imperialists, in preventing
them from winning their freedom
by over-throwing imperialism.
An example of what Thomas and

rified me-" replied Buchanan,
"But now, the war has changed
all that-we are all comrades"
Thus did Mr.. A. Thomas become
the close friend and "comrade' of the
rulers of the world, thus
the one-time socialist" became the
most valued tool of imperialist rule.
And when, after the war was over,
the imperialist powers set up their
league of nations which they hoped
would consolidate their power and
forever keep in slavery the weak
nations of the world, they turned to

his labor office do in practical mat
tiers, is shown by the Miners Fed
Grafton of Great Britain, one of the
biggest and strongect labor unions
in Western Europe, which has ex-
posed the labor office in its jour-
nal, 'The Miner, issue of June 10th,
1928. This journal explains how,
when the Miners Union had reques-
ted the labor office and Mr.. Thomas
to conduct an inquiry into the in
ternational conditions of miners, this
investigation was made, but only in
accord with the views of the en-
ployers, and its report had been used
by the employers in their war against
the miners to reduce wages and in
crease working hours.
Mr.. Thomas and the labor office
are used to establish the authority
of false leaders over the working
class in various countries. 1t even
deliberately cooperates with fascist
governments, which smash labor
unions, and recognizes and deals
with the fascist unions" set up by
the bourgeois and militarist dicta-
tors. The Italian fascists are part of
Thomas labor office, while the real
labor unions are smashed and out
lawed. Mr.. Thomas recently visited
Italy, talked with Mussolini, and
made public statements praising that
murderer of workers. He has done
the same thing in Balkan countries,
where similar conditions prevail.
Now Mr.. Albert Thomas is COM
ing to Asia to perform the same
kind of work. His first stop in the
Far East was Japan, where he came
to kiss the hand of the Mikado, and
confer with the Mikado's faithful
servant, Bunji Suzuki. His second
stop was Picking, where he was wined
and dined Tin company with the
French Ambassador by General Pei
Tsung-chi of bloody notoriety, the
director of the Shanghai massacre
of workers ON April IA, 1927. His
third stop will be Marking, where
he will arrange with Chang Kai-
shek for the Kuomintang to appoint
some tabor delegates" to go to &C.
neva. Then he will, with the bles-
sings of the British empire, go to
India to tell the Indian trade unions
to keep out of politics, to trust their
masters, and follow the good advice
of Mr.. JOSH. Under the leadership
of Mr.. Thomas, the Japanese labor
| imperialist Suzuki, and the reac-
tionary Mr.. JOSH of India, are plan
ming to set up a rival Organization
against the Pan-Pacific Trade Union
Secretariat. Already they have an
nounced an "Asiatic Labor Confer
ence", to be held in Calcutta in 1929,
while they oppose or ignore the p.
P. T. U. S. aand it's ten affiliated
trade union movements. All this is
the logical continuation Of the long
history Of treachery by Albert
Thomas, of service to imperialism.
Thomas wishes to do in Asia the
same things which he did in Europe,
for which the imperialists love him,
namely, to divide the workers, to
confuse their councils, to keep them
from fighting against imperialism,
{ to render them helpless cannon-fod-
der for the imperialists to build their
armies from, to perpetuate the rule
of Imperialism in Asia-these are
the aims of Albert Thomas in Asia
today. He is the most dangerous
enemy of the workers in China, In
dia, Japan, and the whole Far East.
Let Mr.. Albert Thomas be known to
all in his true colors.

 We cannot pass from this phase of our work without calling atten- ton to activity of the Ladies auyil- larN at Thanksgiving and Christ mas. As a measure Of this work :orty-tWo boxes were sent to vet "rans in hospitals, and eleven din- nerS were distributed to veterans about the city on Thanksgiving day. For Christmas, forty very fine bath robes were sent to veterans in hos pltalS and eleven boxes distributed to veterans about the ctiv. The post defrays small proportion of the expense Of this work.

Each boy is usually retained for two weeks and Ut the end of the period shows a gam in weight ana improvement in hcallh.

The follow lnb names occur to my mind when the boys camp is mentioned, Roger Whitman, Fred Ellsworth.

 Our Junior Achievement classes have been conducted as usual un- der the general supervision of w. W. Y. Squircs, Tho results are some what intangible but none the less real.
 Two Boy Scout troops have car ried on under Durwood B0chm and Robert Sackott. William Turner was chairman of our committee.

Awards

Early in the year we received from national headquarters cita- ton for having the highest score of 965 points on our Annual Merit Re port. This report is measure of the | morale and accomplishments of the Post for the preceding year. We won the membership cup of ! fered by the department for posts | having a membership ot 800 or more last year. Stable Colors were also awarded for reaching 100 per cent in the Derby.
 We were awarded the Eugene ?. Armstrong cup for the post showing | the highest morale and most effici- l cnt organization.
 prize was awarded to the Post at the state convention for having ! the greatest number in line for the l parade.
 Patriotic Anniversaries Memorial Day was observed as usual, by parade behind our own Drum and Bugle corps, and excr- CiSes at the G. A. R. memorial and the World War memorial. The day before the Legion provided speakers for the various schools. The graves of all veterans of the world war were decorated with the American flags and WreathS and on the graves of Legionnaires a Legion flag was also placed. After the parade the Ladies auxiliary served d fine lunch con.
 Recently we have participated in the celebration in honor of Count Casimir Pulaski. 1t is estimated that more than five thousand persons marched in the parade for the occasion.
 Our plans for Armistice day call for a more elaborate celebration than any of recent years. Arrange nonts are being made for this by Harry Vessels.
 Boost and Pull
 The publication of Boost and Pull as an essential part of our organiza- ton. Our thanks are due to Harry Jackson for the work that he puts into its publication each year.
 Recommendation,
 In conclusion 1 have but one rec onmendation to make; that serious consideration be given to the fi- nanCes of the Post with view to decreasing the amount to be raised each year by projects of one type or another, Too much of this sort Of thing places q large burden on the shoulders of few. The solution may lie in a class of contributing members, in a partial endowment or in the cutting of expenses. Whatever the solution may be 1 recommend

 One of the greatest jlstifications O. the American Legion is the com- Munlty service which it renders.
 First in importance is the thought care and financial assistance which we render to our disabled comrades and to other comrades. sick or in trouble of one sort or another.
