NEW YORK, Oct. Is Q.N.s9~S
With the oils in the vanguard, the
stock market staged sharp recovery
from the low prices that had pre-

In the high-priced industrial group
the shorts were quickly run to cover
after a weak opening, which forced
sharp rallies of these stocks. United
States Steel, Westinghouse, General
Electric, and Western Union were
all up sharply from their openings,
in the first half hour, but s renewed
selling came into the market at the
beginning of the second hour, these
issues in sympathy with the, main
body of stocks gave way readily,
United States Steel dropped to 21S,

LEASE IS GIVEN
NICKEL PLATE

The Nickel Plate railroad, con-
tro1led by the Van Sweringens, to-
day received authority from the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
acquire and operate under lease the
railroad yard of the Northern Ohio
Food Terminal, Cleveland Ohio.
The lease is for 90 years and the
Nickel Plate will pay on the last
days of December and June of each
year, beginning in December next,
$58,655,20, with interest.
Commissioner Eastman dissented,
asserting that 'the yard was con-
structed by the applicants dummy
corporation, with funds furnished
by the applicant. / would approve
purchase by the applicant at cost,
thus giving the Nickel Plate direct
ownership of the yard; it should
have had 1t from the beginning.
1T Is quite clear that applicant,
which furnished all the funds, is in
control Of the situation and can
purchase If it so desires. No good
reason has been shown why it
should incur a fixed charge OF 6
per cent annually on account OF the
yard for a period OF 80 years"

GOULD To BUILD
NEW BANK
BRANCH

The Washington Mechanics Saw
ings Bank has been granted per-
mission by the Treasury Depart
ment to open another branch in
Washington, it was learned today.
The new branch will be opened in
tbe 1900 block of Connecticut. Ave.
n. W.. according to Ezra Gould,
president of the institution.
With the opening of the new
branch. the Washington Mechanics
Savings Bank will be in position
TO furnish almost city-wide service.
It was announced. There win be
three branches of the bank. In add
Sion to the main office.
Parking For Patrons
A recent purchase Of $4,000
square feet Of ground upon which
to erect the branch building was
made by the institution. 1t IL
planned to erect a building of
white limestone which will be so
designed as to provide additional
architectural beauty in that section
of the city.
Gould, who has made close
study of modern banking condi-
tions, construction and equipment,
will incorporate every known de-
vice to enable the institution to
work smoother and provide better
service for clients, 1t was learned.
Parking space adjacent to the
building will be provided for
clients, 80 that there will be no
trouble about the traffic situation.
A large park, entered by one drive
way and left by another, will be
provided.
The territory which ID to be
entered by the bank is q rapidly
growing one. At present there is
no similar institution within q
radius of two miles.

Anadale was seized with a severe
cold while In Baltimore last Satur-
day. It later settled in his throat,
making a minor operation neces-
sary. While his condition is not
considered especially dangerous by
attending physicians, every effort to
safeguard his health and insure
rapid recovery Is being made.
Reflected interest in recent move
ments of the New York markets
was shown yesterday with the In
cgeased attendance in local board
rooms. Some of them were crowded
to capacity yesterday and today the
attendance was even greater.
Intense interset in the activities
Of change was shown by those

Airplanes and Hydroplanes.

Thus the numerical growth of
aeronautic forces of the principal
imperialisms in the last five years
(1923 to 1929 increased in not less
than 1900. For France alone the
increase is 1079o. The numerical
growth of the aeronautic forces of
the imperialist powers is formidable
but this does not in the least hinder
the efforts of the apostles of dis
armament. To quantity there is be-
ing added the improvement in quail
ity. Since the imperialist war ended
in 1918, specialists agree that the
technical perfection of aviation has
made prodigious leaps. The rapidity
of planes has increased from 30 to
500, the range Of action (observa-
ton and pursuit) has grown from
80 to 7086, of bombing airplanes
from $50 to 5000; the rate Of drop
ping bombs and their accuracy are
four times as great as in 1918; the
intensity Of fire of their machine
guns has increased six or seven
times.
It is with these monstrous forces
Of destruction that TIE French gov

100000; Italy with four million;
America with 100000 and Japan
with 100000, making the formid-
able total of 20,700,000 reserve
forces for the five great powers.
Big Naval Growth.
AS for the naval forces the growth
of ornaments, the construction of
modern ships, cruisers, submarines,
airplane carriers, are likewise max
ing considerable progress.
From 1927-192S to 192S-1929 the
naval expenses for the three great
imperialist powers increased (offi-
cial figures) in America, from BAT
million dollars to 1872 million 1880;
in England, from 29O million dol
lars to 1926 million (12.5%); in
France from II million dollars to
100 million (40%). We see that our
peaceful France is way in the lead
in percentage increase, and that in
the name of the Renaissance of the
glorious French navy"
Aviation is given the greatest
consideration by all the imperialist
states. Aviation is the "civilized"
force par excellence of capitalism.

PARIS by MaiD Under the
slogan Prepare for the First of
August" Henri Barbe, member of
the Central Executive Committee of
the Communist Party of France, has
the following article in the June 26
issue of PHumanite, the organ of
the French Communist Party.
The Appalling Growth of Imperial
list Armaments.
In preceding articles we have ex-
planned the character and signifi-
canoe of the First of August, the
date of the mobilization. of the
masses of workers and peasants
against imperialist war; the date
especially set aside for the express
sion of the solidarity of all workers
with the country of socialism, the
Soviet Union. We have also tried
to present facts to show the serious
ness of the threat which hangs over
the workers: and to show how in
the political maneuvers of the i'm
perialist governments and of "our''
government in particular, it is a
new imperialist butchery which is
being planned.
! There are other things which are
no less significant in showing the
intentions of capitalist governments
l am speaking of ornaments. Ar
maments make up by their remark
able progress in quantity and quail
ity the perfect expression of i'm
perialist politics, completely orien-
tated towards war!
Two-Faced.
! And here is a very characteristic
fact, that the more ornaments are
developed, the more disarmament is
spoken of; in other words, the more
imperialism arms itself, the more it
tries to dupe the masses. But the
sinister comedy of disarmament
played with Socialism" in the lead
ing roles, has received some rude
checks. The Soviet delegation has
put the imperialists and their So
cialist lackeys with their backs to
the wall.
Moreover, to the Soviet plan for
disarmament, the answer has been
given of increased imperialist ar
maments. 1t is clear enough to the
proletarian understanding that the
imperialist bourgeoisie will not dis
arm unless the proletariat disarms
it with organized force, with the
revolution.
Socialists" Deceive Masses.
The league Of imperialist nations,
social headquarters of the second in
ternational has already compiled
dozens and dozens of kilos of ma
terial on disarmament. There are
said to exist $4,000 pages of tracts
on disarmament at Geneva, solely
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-07-16

consecrated to conferences, sub-con-
ferences, committees, sub-commit-
tees on disarmament. What lot of
paper! What an effort to deceive
the masses of workers that repre-
sents. And at the same time, while
there are being written thousands
of pages to deceive the masses of
people with the pretence of working
on disarmament, in each imperialist
state land forces, air forces, marine
forces and chemical forces are be-
ing developed, are being rapidly
modernized.
Let us take several of the most
significant figures.
Increase in Armaments.
First, the military budgets of the
three great imperialist powers: for
the United States of America, the
military budget was .293 millions of
dollars in 1918; it reached 708 mil
lions in 1927-1928, and increase of
1920. For England, it was II mil
lions of pounds sterling in 1918; it
reached lis millions 100000 pounds
in 1927-1928, an increase of $3.50.
(The figures for America and Eng
land are taken from the military
annual of the Society of National
Defense). AS for our peaceful
France, her budget in 1919 was 1
billion, 59s millions of gold francs;
in 1929 it is, in spite of the figures
of Painleve, who falsifies his war
budget as easily as the demonstra-
lions of the reservists, it is IS bill
lion, $50 million paper francs naval
and air forces included). Which
figure, translated into gold francs,
is 2 billion, 700 million, in COMPARE
son with 1903, an increase of nearly
70lc.
It is already seen from this dan
gerous growth of the budgets where
ornaments are going. The condi-
ton of the numerical forces of the
armies of the principal imperialist
powers is also conclusive. 1t has
been estimated that in comparison
with 1918, the number Of soldiers
of the five powers, America, Eng
land, France, Italy and Japan, has
increased from 1,827,000 to 1885,
900. This represents an increase of
100000 for the regular army "ac-
tive forces!" Besides, it is necessary
to take into account the fact that
the length Of service has been re-
duced in many countries, which in
creases the Importance of the growth
Of the army. But in order to have
an even better idea of the energy
of the imperialist states which is di-
rected toward preparing the masses
for war, one must glance at the re-
serves, whether wholly or partially
trained. Thus, France is ahead, with
5,500,0O0; England comes next with
