new school of philosophy was afoov.
Dewey's theory was in essence that
thought is not an ultimate and mex
plicable entity, but an activity incidental
and instrumental to the more primary
phases of living.
Human experience, in other words, is
primarily matter Of particular activi-
ties and only secondarily qualified by
general ideas. Beginning with ideas, as
philosophers have been wont to do, is,
according to Dewey, the same logical
mistake which educators made in be-
ginning with the adult. Adults are in
telligible only as fully grown children;
similarly, ideas are Ineligible only as
outgroWths of human life. Such a bio
logical and social approach to logical
theory was little short of scandalous in
those days and is still not quite re-
spectacle among pure philosophers.
But among educators, psychologists
and social scientists Dewey's ideas be-
gan to take hold rapidly, especially after
the publication in 1909 of his popular
little volume, How to Think" In this
way Dewey's philosophy received an ex-
tensive application even before it was
Systematically formulated. behaving in
this respect quite pragmatically. More
recently, however, Dewey has made sew
eral careful and systematic presenta-
tons of his philosophy, notably In
Democracy and Education" Recon
struction in Philosophy" Human Ma
ture and Conduct" and Experience and
Nature" In these works the pragmatic
movement in America has attained its
fullest technical elaboration and its
widest intellectual range.
The vigorous experimental application
which Dewey gave to his ideas in the
field of education will probably remain
his most famous contribution to Ameri-
can life. but this is only one aspect OF
his influence. After leaving Chicago In

Mediterranean Sea Life

recent lecture on the haunts and
customs of the sea fauna revealed that
since the opening Of the Suez Canal
fishes and crustaceans had migrated
from the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean
into the Mediterranean Sea, chiefly on
the Syrian coast, where they drifted
with the currents. It took q certain
species of crab 80 years to cross the
canal, but henceforth it multiplied rap
idly and settled all along the Syrian
coast. The same region Is now
completely bereft Of Holsters, while a
big crustacean called sea cicala and
huge shrimps, eight inches long, from
the Indian Ocean have successfully
colonized there.

The meeting of the

w YILL France once more defeat
M an attempt to bring about
wv Anglo American parity as
she did in all save the
battleship circumstance at
the Washington conference? This
question must be uppermost in the
minds of all who are giving any at
tention to the prospects of the forth
coming London meeting in January.
Moreover, while there may be COM
plete change of mind in Paris between
now and the new year, 1t is at least
accurate to say that at the moment the
French signs are distinctly unpromising.
II Is obvious at the outset that any
British, japanese and American agree
ment such as now seems assured must
In the nature of things be conditional
upon French and Italian decisions.
For the British, with their Mediter-
ranean interests, can only agree to
limit their cruiser tonnage to $40, 900
and their total number of ships to so,
provided the French and Italians
agree to accept in cruisers the same
ratio they accepted, not without ex-
IRENE reluctance on the French part,
in respect of battleships.
But today the French are openly
insisting that they are entitled, fol-
lowing the British example, to set their
own figure for their needs, and that
this figure must include equality with
the italians in the Mediterranean and
at the same time a further tonnage
equal to the limit fixed for the Ger
man navy by the treaty of Versailles
And it Is self-evident that any such
demand will not fall in with the
Washington ratio of 5-5-3-1. 75-that is,
the respective relative limits set for
Britain, American, Japanese and
French and Italian tonnage in battle
ships.
1t may be recalled that one of the
Severest criticisms passed upon BRAND
for accepting the Washington treaties
was that these accepted parity as be-
tween France and Italy. In this case
the French and Italian situation close
ly parallels that of the British and
Americans, with the difference that,
while Italy, like the Knitted States. In
sists upon parity, F1Shce, unlike Eng
land, is not willing to concede 1t.
France Wishes Big Navy.
France argues that, unlike Italy. she
has vast colonial possessions and an
exposed Seaboard on two fronts, the
Atlantic and the Mediterranean. In
case of a war in Europe it is a matter
of life and death for her to be able
to transport to Europe her colonial
and native forces both from North and
West Africa, by the Mediterranean anc
the Atlantic.

Imprison Three in a
Persecution Against
Palestine Communists

LONDON, Jan. 28.-The Jewish
news agency in Palestine, which is
ruled by England as inundated ter
ritory from the League of Nations,
states that Bar Nash and two other
workers have been imprisoned by the
british imperialists for supposed
membership in a labor defense Or
ganizaticn, which is prohibited as
"illegal" under the British rule
along with all groups alleged to be
Communistic.
The persecution of the Commu-
nists arises from their championing
the interests of the oppressed Arab
race. 1t is claimed that recently the
Arabs, who have for centuries held
certain lands now desired by the So
called nationalist" Jewish organ
ization, but now facing ruin by be-
ing driven off the land which the
British had sold to the Jewish or
eanization with funds given by the
Canadian Zionists, were asked in a
Communist Party manifesto to re-
sist expulsion from their homes and
all Communists were required to aid
the Arabs.
Bar Nash was sentenced to 100
days in prison and two others to rs
days each.

POLICE ATTACK
COAL Strikers
IN The Loire
Repulsed by French
Coal Miners

PARIS, Jan. PA number of
clashes between striking coal min
crs and police in the two important
French coal regions of the Gard VAL
ley and the Loire Valley have oc-
Cured in the past few days.
At Pontil, in the Gard department,
the gendarmes charged into the
miners, who were picketing. The
Infatuated miners drove the gem
darmes into the gates of the col
lieries and eXtinguished the fur
naces there.
At the pit of the Grande Combe,
large forces of gendarmes and re-
publican guards were sent by the
government at the behest of the coal
bosses. They also charged the
picket lines, but were repulsed.
In the Loire Valley, in the neigh
horhood of st. Etienne, over 10000
are now on strike. Clashes between
miners and their company thugs
and gendarmes also occurred here.
Police surrounded the daily mass
meeting of the Loire strikers in the
Labor Hall at st. Etienne, finally
breaking into the hall and arresting
several strikers. Most new arrivals
are barred from st. Etienne by the
police.

who spoke for them last night at

Eighth Ave-, a kindly reception.
The militant workers of the city
also gave him a warm reception--in
fact, it was inclined to be quite hot.
The result was much indignation on
the part Of the socialists and mon
archists. and much activity by them
and their allies, the police. A num-
Der of workers were beaten up.
among them Eugene Wall, men,
Der Of the Young Workers (Com-
munist) League, and A. Ivanov.
Chernoff was introduced 10 the
prosperous, bald-headed audience OF
reactionaries by Algernon Lee. Lee
disapproved of the Bolsheviks for
having dissolved the treacherous.
bourgeois constituent assembly,.
When the renegade socialist
Chernoff. began to speak, the mill
tant workers in the theater broke
cut into protests. All through his
speech he was interrupted by work
ers who told him he was not telling
the truth, who would not stand fol
his malignant attacks upon the
Soviet Union.
An august socialist sitting on the

great that Chernoff could hardly be

his statement he called for the police

GIANT RALLY TO
GIVE SIGNALF FOR
DRESS STRIKE
S. P. Scab Threatens
Police Action

At the huge mass meeting in Man
haitian Opera House, 34th st. and
Eighth Ave, Wednesday evening,
the dressmakers will give the final
word, the signal for the general
strike which the new Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union is to lead.
The meeting will begin Immediately
after work.
The intensive preparations for the
calling of the strike are about over.
For the past few weeks the union
has been constructing the machin-
cry that will lead and carry the
strike through to successful conclu-
sion. At this meeting workers who
are to go on strike will demonstrate
their determination to fight for
union conditions in all union and
non-union shops.
The fear of the employers and
their most valuable agents-the So
cialist officialdom of the company
union--is indicated by reports in the
employers press, where news stories
discounting the response the work
ers will give to the strike call ap-
pear regularly. But between the
lines can be discerned panic at the
impending walkout.
A significant aspect of boss pro-
paganda against the strike is the
fact that it is not so much the en-
ployers themselves, but their $50
cialist" aides, who are threatening
those who will go out on strike with
action by the police department and
other city coercive authorities.
Benjamin Schlesinger, company
union president who has as side lines
a bank dictatorship, and the selling
of advertisements, carried this threat
of police attack in the socialist"
yellow Jewish Forward.
These threats are a complete ex-
posture. They show that far from
being unconcerned by the imminent
strike call, these worthless are in
reality terror stricken.
The dress industry is largely open
shop. This was true even in times
when there was better union con-
troll. But now since the right wing
gang have destroyed the union be-
cause of their left wing leadership,
the open shop condition of the trade
is far more pronounced, and work
ing standards are practically nil
Workers are compelled to slave
under the most horrible exploitation,
A last call for volunteers to the
Organization Committee of 1000 will
be made at the meeting. The final
strike decision will then be made.

MEET TONIGHT
Urge Reputation of
Officialdom

The official call for a special
meeting tonight to consider the re-
instatement of members of the
Cleaners, Dyers' and Pressers
Union recently expelled by the Of
ficialdom, was really issued for the
purpose of getting the membership
to endorse the policy of the Off
Gals, members of the union stated
yesterday.
In circular issued so late that
there could be no time to answer it,
the officials urged the membership
to come to the special meeting to
support their policy of expulsion and
terrorism against the militants and
their policy of alliance and collab-
Grafton with the bosses.
1t is pointed out that the secret
supplementary agreements and the
permission to hire and fire has
broken down conditions in the union
and have forced workers to COM
pete with each other, thus playing
into the hands of the bosses.
All workers are urged to attend
the special meeting at Clinton Hal
at eight tonight to repudiate the
union-wrecking policies of expulsion
and collaboration with the bosses
practiced by the officialdom.
