er" reports from Durham that mass
meeting against imperialism took
place in Shepstone st. Point. The
meeting was chiefly attended by
Zulus and was so crowded that many

The speakers explained the char
acter of imperialism and pointed out
that it could only be fought by an
international alliance of all anti
imperialist forces in the colonial and
capitalist countries all over the

VIENNA, Austria, April 19.-Dr
Ender, christian socialist chief Of
the Vorarlberg government in West

What the fascists will do if DR..
Ender, who is known as pro-Swiss,

not been told, tho it is obvious that
they have little to fear from him.
Fascist preparations for thrust

made in secret, but it is common

lever INTENDED
REPUTATION OF
MAR INDEBTNESS
Will Be Major Plank
/, During Elections

LONDON, England, April 49,
With the announcement that the
var debts revision will be the big
,est issue for the labor party in the
on1ing British election campaign,
hat party of reactionaries yester-
lay came out in the open as watch
log of imperialist interest second to
neither Of the other two bourgeois
parties. Its stand more than ever
ade it clear that British working
ass voters must vote the British
communist ticket in May.
Philip Snowden, who first made
apital for his party out of debt re-
rision in a recent speech in parlia-
nent, again stated definitely that
he stood ever ready to champion the
interests of British capitalism.
"For two or three years / have
oersistently tried to arouse the
country to the seriousness of these
lebt settlements" he said. II am
sure the facts need only to be
Known to cause DISGUST with the gov
srnment which has so criminally
sacrificed the financial interests of
his country for the advantage of
)ther countries far more prosper
)us and which have not made any,
hing like the financial sacrifice for
The war that Great Britain has
made.
Nothing could be of greater adj
antage to the labor party than that
his issue should be made promi-
lent."
Snowden disclaimed eagerly any
Intention to repudiate the imperialist
war debts. 81 never said we should
cepudiate the settlements made.
What l said was that a labor gov
eminent would not be bound by the
principle of the Balfour note on any
egotiations which may be opened
,r the revision of these settle
lents."
Ramsay Macdonald, who, as head
Of the party, refused to commit HIM
self until he had seen the effect
which Snowden's proposal had on
the country, now admits that the
labor party will make debts revi-
n the issue in the campaign.
Snowden's proposals, especially
welcome to the British imperialists,
ook to revision of the Balfour note
which fixed the war debt payments
FOR Great Britain, the United States,
italy and France.

More Japan Workers
Jailed i'm Red Raids;
Thousands i'm Prisons

TOXIC, Japan, April 10. - Tho
strict censorship forbids all publica-
ton of news, it has been learned
that 300 Left wing workers and
Communists were jailed by the gov
eminent following Red raids Tues
day night.
The government is giving it out
that the arrests are due to evidence
obtained from class war prisoners
seized in similar raids last May.
1t is computed that the class war
prisoners in Japanese jails now mum,
Der thousands, hundreds having been
imprisoned under the ordinance
against dangerous thoughts" which
makes even the idea of change in
the existing government punishable
by death or long Jail terms.
The ordinance against dangerous
thoughts" was made law by the
diet just before it closed recently,
hopelessly torn by political disagree
ment.

ingly frail, but strong little body
glistened in the air.
Strong, broad-shouldered, Ukrain-
ian Nadtochi was snorting stolidly
in the water, and suddenly he roar
ed in deep bass:
"Oho ho-ho! Some lake! A lake
oil lakesw
THE lake is good. Now it is blue
and Joyous. And it roars angrily
in the mornings, spluttering with
white foam. And grows gray. And
| it is always rumbling. 1t can rival
the sea with its noise. When it is
calm one may look down to the
very bottom and see all the life in
it. One day a number Of men came
with instruments. They measured
the lake up and down. They took
The kids, in turn, into their boat.
These men spoke in a learned way:
the water in this lake is radioactive.
The children proudly communicated
the fact to ore another.
''The water in our lake is radio
active"
A big lake. AS one comes out
upon it from the forest, one feels
free and easy at once. The shores
bristle with high, wooded noun
tains. Right up to the clouds. But
they do not crowd the lake. Free
and clear it undulates in the noun
tain wilderness. And the forest re-
ioices because of the lake. The
birches bow down to it. Pines and
frs send it their balsamy fragrance.
Summer bungalows hide in the
woods. And some come out almost
to the very shore. There are seven
bungalows on the steep bank. This
is the children's colony. 1t stands
apart from the village and from the
other bungalows.
The colonists' little dock is a
cheerful sight. Four boats are rock
ing at the wharf. And the best of
them all is the white sailboat,
DIANA" On a canvas stretched be-
tween two high poles is a bold in
scription:
work and knowledge conquer
dement's"
Grishka liked this inscription.
Whenever he approached the wharf
in a boat he always read aloud:
q. conquer the elements" Get
that?
And what a word, clements!
You can't explain what it is, but
when you hear it you have the de-
sire to be mighty hero. The lake,
too, is one of the clements. That is
Why it rumblc5 so.

THE entire shore at the edge of
water is adorned with a piebald'
border of round, gray and-white
stones and golden sand glittering in
the sun. In one place a big old
stump peeps out of the forest. The
children painted on it the head of
an old man in red hat. In many
colors. And now the stump looks
like the living face of an old man.
Only, he does not shake his white
beard. Otherwise he is quite alivei
There, be is staring from the shore!
And On the steep bank, like a
beast Of the woods, only without
fur, appears Martynov, barefoot.
He, too, wears short trousers like
the children, and thin, sleeveless
shirt. He advances, crushing the
stones into the earth. His voice
GENES rumbling from afar:
"Hey, you! Swarthy International
Have you had your ducking? It's
time to wake the rest. Quick! /
want it done quick-khny!"
The four boys responded in diff
ferent tones:
"Khny! -. Khny! d. Khny!
Sergei Mikhalych, khny! ;"
No one in the colony knew the
meaning of this word. But to Marty
nov it meant everything. Khny-
good, khny-bad, khny-quickly and
nimbly. Whatever you wish. 1t
was only at the colony that Grishka
heard him use this word. He did
not utter it in the city. 1t was
Martynov's password-for here only.
A family word.
In the race, Grishka was the first
to reach the kitchen. Today Grish-
ia's squad is on duty. Eight chill
dren. Four girls are now at the
porch-table, apportioning the bread.
Clh, what dinner there will be to-
day. The day before they had agreed
to cook mama greats in a new way.
With pumpkins. The children them
selves decided upon the dinner and
cooked it themselves. Squads on
duty competed every day,--who
would turn out the best dinner?
But they did not know, as yet, how
to bake bread. They had woman
maker. But everything else they
did themselves. Look, what pile
of wood is prepared for the day!
They chopped it last night. Grishka
had worked quickly and nimbly.
Martynov noticed it, mac, grimace,
rubbed his hands:
"Ah, Peskov, Khnyv'
And all evening Girshka was
happy in that praise.

the rock is warm. 1t has not lost
yesterdays warmth during the
night.
The waves are advancing upon the
rock with a monotonous refrain:
"Ou-ou-ou-kh ou-ou-ou u.
ou-kh."
A big one swells up and rolls
en- boastfully. And covers the voices
of all the little ones and sings out:
"Ou-oukhkhou- ou-ou! -
AND it splashes over Grishka's
" bare feet. They are all scratched
from the stones and bushes. 1t
hurts bit when the sun dries them.
But it feels good.

Off with the knickers. On hot
days the boys wear no shirts.
Straight into the water. The waves
envelop him, embrace him, and
again h, wants to shout. He wants
to talk with the waves, the sky, the
forest, the hills, the birds, beasts,
and men.
"To-ho- bo-ho!"
And boyish voices respond from
the hill:
"Pes-ko-ov! Gri-sha-ka, yelling
DEVIL"
And three of them, bare to the
waist, in short Knockers, rush down
the hill. With their feet they make
stones roll down the steep slope.
At the head runs Taichinov, the lit
tie Bashkir with whom Grishka had
come to the colony.
His head is bent to one side and
he neighs like a horse of the STEP
pes. Then, with a leap as light as
that of wild beast, he jumps down
to the shore near Grishka.
"Must-a blow horn soon! What
for come first? No work, no eat"
"Ain't workin'? You naggin'

And he is already in the water
and squealing joyfully. Grishka
obediently ran out on the sand, bal
anced himself on his hands, head
down, adroitly turned somersault
in the air, and splashed into the
water head first.

JugO-Slav Dictatorship

BELGRADE, Jugo-Slavia, April
16.-Dr. Kumanudi, foreign minis
ter of Jugo-Slavia under the dicta-

to the Italian press against the cam
paign of stories of war preparations
in Serbia now appearing in Italy.
He denies that the Jugo-Slav gov
eminent is intensively preparing to
begin guerrilla warfare on the AL
bania and Hungarian borders.
The original charges were pub
lished by the Giornale D'Italia, edi-
ted by Mussolini's brother. They
stated that the Jugo-Slav general
staff had issued secret orders for
comitadjis to attack neighboring
states.
Commenting on these stories yes
terday the Belgrade press recalled

Umiomists IN Appeal
Against French IN Africa

The International Trade Union
Committee of Negro Workers has
issued the following appeal to the
international working class to fight
against the brutal exploitation of
Negroes by the French imperialists
in Africa.
The barbarous system of colonial
exploitation, slavery and oppression
is still flourishing in its most brutal
form. Forced labor and other forms
of oppression by French imperialists
in Equatorial Africa has killed off
native railroad workers at the rate
of tens Of thousands and swept away
whole sections of the native popula-
ton. While the international Labor
Office at Geneva, in the name of
civilization, is supposed to investi-
gate the conditions of forced labor
among the natives, this barbarous
oppression and bitter forced labor is
butchering millions in the colonies.
During the last decade the popula-
ton of French Equatorial Africa
has been reduced by six millions.
For the last several months native
workers have been in open revolt
against this French imperialist OPP
preston. At this moment French
imperialism is crushing these work
ers and carrying Civilization" into
Africa at the point of the bayonet.
This raping of Africa, the bathing
of the struggles of the workers in
their own blood and the extermina-
ton of the population in order that
imperialism may flourish is shrouded
in silence and secrecy. Only frag-
mentary bits of news leak out,

At the same time General Fran

surrendered to general AlmazGn,
federal, who states that Enriquez
will not be shot, but treated as

significant of an attitude of the
