Butter Without Water.

A representative of the Australian
dairy industry has been making q tour
of the world in the interests of the
Australian business men. He Is now in
this country moving through the West
and on his way to Canada. While in
England he took the opportunity to
confer with English business men about
the feasibility of shipping butter to
that country minus its water content.
This plan, If adopted, will mean that
the Australians will save more than ST.
000, 900 in freight costs curing year.
The price of the butter could be low
cred and the market would be increased
With the water extracted the butter
would be even less apt to acquire bac-
terra of harmful nature, he said.
Australia ships 10000 tons of butter
to England and consumes 10000 tons
herself. Butter manufacturing Is one
of the large industries of the country.

[. Fifteen Years Ago, and Today

1. Fifteen Years Ago, and Today.
In preparations for International
Red Day the Communist Parties and
the Revolutionary Trade Union
Movement have given particular at
tention to the section of the prole-
tariat employed in the chemical in
dustry. At this time there can be
no doubt whatever as to the role
the chemical industry of the capital
list countries is playing in the pres
ent feverish race in ornaments.
Chemical warfare will undoubtedly
be the fundamental form of fight
ing in the coming imperialist war.
The gas attacks we have all heard
of which occurred at Ypres on the
Western front and on the Skerne-
WITT sector on the Eastern front in
1915, and the subsequent develop
ment of chemical warfare from 1915
to 1918 will appear but mere pitt
full rehearsal compared with what
imperialism is getting ready to let
loose in the coming war.
But what, strictly speaking, was
the chemical industry at that time,
the source from which the means
were drawn for the mass destruc-
ton of these thousands of men? In
1913 Germany produced 121, 900 tons
of nitrogen, the basic product neces-
sary for the manufacture of explo-
skies. Germany's output represent
ed nearly 16 per cent of the worlds
production. 1t is true that during
the war itself German imperialism
rapidly built huge works for the
manufacture of nitrogen Ueuna
Works., but the output of even
those war days cannot be compared
in any way with the production of
postwar years and especially of the
present moment. In 1925 Germany's
output of nitrogen had climbed up to
100000 tons, and. in 1929 it is EEK
pected to reach 100000 tons.* 1t
has long been known that the Leuna
Works alone will be able to throw
nearly half. million tons of nitro
gen upon the market in the immedi-
ate future. This is under normal"
conditions and no doubt without any
particular straining of the machin-
cry of production, and without any
great call for nitrogen from the
military machine. The dye indus
try is the source for the production
of asphyxiating and poison gases.
Up to the war it was Germany like

oily in this industry. The war i'm

Responsibility for "Riots" at Union Square
and AStOr Place.

In stupid, vicious article in Saturdays New York
Evening Post certain scribber who calls himself Cedric
Worth tries to SANDER the Soviet Union by charging that
organized rotng by the representatives of the Soviet
bassy in Pekng evoked the Infamous raid in 1927.
1t useless here to again the fact that the Picking
raid part of the general imperat campaign of pro-
vocation against the workers and peasants republics of the
Soviet Union The forgeres the crude lies accompanying
that raid are too we'll known to need recountng
Most amusing though is the attempt of the Posts staff
writer to draw analogy between the Picking raid and recent
local mass demonstrations in New York City. Here
of Mr.. Worth's gems of wisdom:
in Peking we'll organized riots such
those that took place Union Square the of the police
parade small demonstration before the Chinese consulate
Place the other day. They dis
ORDERS but carefully led uprisngs."
In his efforts to viy the Soviet Union the Post writer
makes himself ridiculous He bames the Soviet embassy for
the Chinese demonstrations and rsng which he calls riots
But there Soviet embassy in the United States Whom
then does he blame for the New York riots?
There is only comparison made by the Post that
accurateha is the charge that Communist rsings and
demonstrations carefully led The fact that they occur
that Soviet ambassadors not the organizers of such
demonstrations.
But then capitalist newspapers not expected to tell
the truth about the Soviet Union 1t their job to aid the
mperiaist warmongers in the drive against the Soviet
Union.
The of New York and IF every other important
center in the United States will reply to such lies by partc
pating the worldwide strikes and demonstrations on
August against mperast and for the defense of the
Soviet Union.

Chemical Warfare, the Chemical Kings
and Their Social-Dennocratic Tools


PEELED the Allies feverishly to de-
velop their national" industries
manufacturing dyes. In the U. S. A,
in Britain and in France huge works
sprang up, literally over night, for
the purpose of supplying the imper-
ialist armies with poison gases of
home origin. According to incom-
plete data, the manufacture of dyes
was more than quadrupled in the U.
S. A. in the period from 1914 to
1925; while much the same develop
ment took place in Britain; output
doubling in France.
The production of artificial silk
has developed by leaps and bounds.
In the U. S. A. "rayon" production
has increased 48 times (from 700
to $500 tons), from 1928 to 1927;
in Italy 116 times (from $50 to
1880 tons); in Germany the in
crease was only from $500 to 49,
900 tons; in Britain from 5000 to
1890 tons); in France from 1900
tons to 1000 tons.
That is how the chief branches
in the chemical industry have devel-
oped. The figures given are quite
sufficient to enable anyone to real
ize the COLOSSAL POTENTIALI-
TIES IN THE PRODUCTION OF

smacks of a fiendish glee and has

it. Of course, only simpletons could
expect anything like an open and
true answer to any of these ques-
tions from an institution created by
the imperialists themselves, but
what replies are given are worth
noting. Imperialism's experts (Which
included Frossard, himself Director

Against Bond for

Disapproves Mas Bill, on
Ground That Probability
of Accidents Is Small.
RH the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FIeSS'
Army flyers are becoming so expert
and aircraft Improvements have so
diminished the likelihood of accidents
that the War Department has recon-
mended against legislation co require
applicants for Army exhibition flights
to furnish bond to insure the Govern
ment against damage claims.
In disappearing the Mas bill to reg
ulate exhibition flights by the Air Corps
and require a protective bond, the de-
partment pointed out to the House mill
tary committee that the probability of
accidents for which damage claims
might arise was decreasing.
There Is much general interest in the
development of aircraft transportation,
the letter said, and the consequent
opening of new flying fields in different
sections of the country has increased
the demand for Army and Navy planes
to give exhibition flights as a part of
the program opening the new fields.
Temporary legislation to require bonds
was passed in an appropriation bill in
1924, the department said. 1t added
that high premiums were charged for
such protection and during the whole
time that the legislation was in effect
there were no accidents.
The bill which brought the objection
would have provided that when flights
were made by Army planes on fields
other than those owned by the Govern
ment an indemnity bond should be fur
nished by the persons desiring the flight
to cover any claims that might arise
from damage to persons or property.

c. O.P. GOES WET
IN NEW YORK FRAY
National Leaders Are Expect
ed to DisSeCt "Run-out"
on Enforcement.
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-In in
formed political circles here, it is re-
ported that Washington is disturbed
over New York City's run out" on pro-
hibition enforcement, and that the
local Republican party situation will be
disSected at the Washington meeting
of the national committee on Monday,
with the possibility of future shake
up among the New York dispensers of
patronage.
Traditionally, the judicious dealing
of patronage has been a means of en-
forcing at least the semblance of
loyalty to national party program. If
enforcement is a part of this program,
and President Hoover's addresses and
activities have given abundant evi-
dence that it is, the New York Republic
can bosses either have not discovered it,
or else acknowledge no fealty to party
objectives.
Goudert Candidacy Is Cited.
Frederic r. Goudert, jr., chairman of
the committee of lawyers to defend
INDECENT victims of the Jones law, is
out for the Republican nomination for
district attorney, with strong support
of silk stocking Republican leaders, in
Guiding Charles Evans Hughes, and OF
In New York, law enforcement
centers pretty much in the district at
torney'S Office, and the city witnesses
the unique spectacle of a Republican
candidate for this Office, whose sideline
activity is rescuing, free of charge, the
unfortunates shared by the shiny, new
Republican statute.
La Guartiia Also Is Wet.
Fiorella H. La Guardia, candidate for
the mayoralty nomination, is rabldly
and voclferously wet. While Mr.. La
Guardia was accepted rather grudgingly
by the Republican leaders, many OF
whom had hoped to see the loyal
partisan, Representative. Ruth Pratt,
make the race, it was his record as a
party maverick, rather than his wet
views, which caused this distaSte.
So far as Republican officialdom was
concerned, there was not ever the max
ing of an argument in the prohibition
issue, with the incumbent Democratic
administration tossing enforcement back
into the Federal backyard. 1t is assured
that, whoever wins, Washington will
play a lone hand against the rum
demon.
Internal WrangIe Plays Part.
1H6 obdOC Al
in the midst of an internal wrangle,
which, incidentally but not directly,
affects the patronage outlook and posi-
bIv the future of the direction of party
affairs in this State. The members OF
the present triumvirate assigned by
Washington to apportion patronage are
divided as to the selection OF New York S

ler of Albany and Ogden Mills is sup
porting Mrs. Pratt.
AS the national leaders see it, New

clined to content themselves with the
Federal patronage and let the Demo-
