Another step in the preparations
for war is the decision of war de-
partment to persuade recruits to go
tc Panama, Hawaii or the Philip
pines, instead of enlisting for SER
vice in the United States.
The former procedure of the re-
cruiting service has been to use the
lure of distant lands" Sunny
skies" and "dusky maids" on their
posters to attract the unemployed
and hungry young workers on he

presented to their minds. But once
safely inside the recruiting office,

made, is positive evidence of the in

Approach of War.
The decision of the war depart
ment to advise recruits to go to the
colonies instead of enlisting for the
mainland is another very important
evidence of the approach of new
imperialist war. This will mean i'm
mediate and tremendous increase in
the strength of the colonial garri
sons. But there must be a mask
for all of the war plans. Instead
of sending soldiers already on the
mainland to the colonies, which
might make the purpose too obvi-
Gus, the increases of the colonial
armies is to be accounted for by the
Increasing popularity" of colonial
service and the wishes" of the re-
cruits.

What Europe is witnessing is
simply an extension of the process
of American penetration through
the export of capital from Amer
lea. The $4,000 workers who now
toll in the motor assembly plants
of seven big American firms in the
vicinity of Berlin and the $4,000
Opel workers will now be sweating
for the same anti-union bosses that
are cutting wages in Detroit, To-
ledo, Flint, Lansing and Pontiac.
And workers in these American
plants can look forward to increas-
ing instability of employment, as
Ford and Chevrolet continue their
struggle abroad. Exports are not
likely to reach any phenomenal rate
of increase, as many motor experts
have predicted, if the "Chevies" and
Fords are turned out in larger num-
bers in European plants.

U. s. Wages Will Fall.
Regardless of which auto corpora
ton wins in this battle of the mo-
tor pugilists in Europe and Amer
lea, the real wages and basic work
ing conditions of the workers here
will be depressed. Wages are now
under the mark they reached in
1925, and speed-up is being achieved
by new systems of wage payment.
Detroit and Pontiac workers are
wondering what open shop measures
will be adopted by General Motors

The bout for the championship in
the lightweight, low-price motor car
field is now in full swing in Europe
between General Motors and Ford.
The Model T and Chevrolet struggle
in the United States is now being
carried on in Europe as the pressure
for expansion and more exports hits
both companies. With the "new
buyer" market stationary at home,
and with replacement demands de-
termined, the necessity for selling
cars to Europe in a new way be-
comes all the more vital to the De-
troit manufacturers.
But European countries have tar
ifs on cars. Ford and Chevrolet
have been getting an increasing
number of cars over the tariff walls.
But another method of beating the
game and selling cars to Germans,
French and Belgians is now being
vigorously pursued. Instead of re-
lying on the shipment of parts to
branch assembly plants in Europe
rhe American rivals are taking over
European fabricating plants.
Buys Opel.
General Motors has just delivered
a powerful blow by purchasing a
controlling interest in the great
Opel Motor Works near Frankfurt,
Germany. Opel turns out about 45
per cent of the German cars and
employs over $4,000 workers. Gen
cral Motors is putting $30,000,000
into the deal and will manufacture
cars that will give Ford hot run
for his money IN Germany.
At the same time comes the re-
port that General Motors will soon
take over the largest mass produc-
ton plant in Europe, the Citroen
Co. of France, which turns out about
$4,000 cars a year. If this deal
goes through it will make General
Motors not only the worlds great
est distributor of motor cars, but
the largest manufacturing company
in Europe.
Ford's Flock of Firms.
Ford takes another line. He Gre
ates local Ford companies in every
country where he has, heretofore,
had only assembly plants or distrib-
uting stations. He is now floating
stock in Ford companies in France,
Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and
Great Britain, where new factories
are being built. Ford, the man who
boasts that he has avoided the

The Masses
By GUSSIE PERLMAN.

Chained together here they stand,
There is elbow room for all,
If they would but lift hand,
They can make the order fall.
But they stand beneath the sun,
And their blood is turning white,
With the chains on they would run,
If the master thought it right.
And the master stands on high,
And he sneers at them and says:
Oh, these slaves for me would die,
And like the COW would eat the grass.
When child to them is born,
In the chain it finds it's place,
From mother nature it is torn,
And the smile fades from it's face.
The heavy chain becomes so tight
And he is sitting for some air,
But he is told that that is right,
Because the lord has placed him there.
Digging in the earth for coal,
Working in the shop till late,
Who takes possession of it all?
Is it the hand of unkind fate?
Oh you, masses, stand up right,
Draw the chains from you away,
Show the masters you have might,
That you too can win the day n
