Churchills bid for Votes In England

Winston Churchill guardian of the British governments
treasury, has presented the conservative patys bribery
budget" to the House of Commons
Like the Hoover-Melon propaganda before the
ton in this country it is intended to win back of the
that the byeeecons clearly show to be melting away
rather rapidly 1t is anticipated that the tories will need
them in the rapidly approaching battle at the polls.
Thus with broad swoop the tax tea both foreign
and empire grown that has been force since the reign
of Queen Elizabeth which ended in 1903 is abolished Every
body supposed to drink tea The consumption is 10 pounds
per capita every year. So with the tax removed everybody
supposed be happy and vote for the conservative candidates
The tax, however, is eight cents per pound, which
amounts to so cents per capita annually grand total of only
S3000000 for the entire population which hardly enough
to build uptohemnute battleshp for the British
gesture is made toward the farmers with relief amounting
to the insignificant sum of $12, 100000 per year.
1t is inconcevab that these bribes will have any ap-
precabe effect upon the workers who beaten down by
this government aided by the traitors of the Labor
Party and the Trade Union Congress- with Lloyd Georges
Liberal Party also giving service during the heroic
strike of the coal miners and the historic general strike that
paralyzed the nation in 1925.
The Churchill budget continues the demand for the huge
preparations of British imperialism that develop the
against the Union of Soviet Republics This the big
feature of interest to British and to world labor Churchill
insists continuation Of the marist orgy demanded by
he absolute requirements of the safety of this island and
of the unity of the British empire, and also:
1--WE make large reductions the navy
falling below the which, opinion
fatal decision without opardzng food
Churchill argues for the growing aggresons of British
Imperialism the development of its navy to protect its trade
routes the exact struggle that leads with lightning speed
the next world Churchill also stresses the development
of British air forces
Every strength of the British empire will be used as
it being used today to prepare for and foent the
tack against the First Workers Republic.
Abolition of the tea and betting and the decrease
in the tax saloons outstanding socaled popular" fea
lures of he bribery budget dwarfed by the huge
ona debt of S38 loaded the backs of the
working class Small comfort in the fact that this treen
dous mostly the result of the last war; reduced by
S500000000 the past year. The budget providing
expenditures of 900 at relief for the
employed while gorifies and provides for greater
mens while British diplomats talk gby of disarmament at
Geneva.
Understanding this British labor will turn more than
to the standards of the British Communist Party that
rallies the oppressed against the rule of both Churchill
and Macdonald They will not be bribed" by the removal
of an insignificant tax tea, especially when they huge
ashes in their pay envelopes World labor will closely
watch development in the British election campaign
The Communist Party of the United States grees its brother
party the British Communist Party this international
May Day renewing the pledge for united action against
the threatening imperias against both American and
British Imperialism for the defense of the Soviet Union for
labor's conquest of all power
