acy, the Sunday Worker states:
"The tory government, discredited
on every front by its black record
Of reaction and inaction, is about to
attempt a desperate coup to stave
off the inevitable disgust which will
be expressed at the polls in May"
The British Communist press
urges the workers to be prepared to
meet this tory offensive, which is
to begin with scare that would
justify intervention in Afghanistap,
cover the preparations for war
against the Soviet Union, stampede
the electors in a frenzed atmosphere
Of Red plots and sweep the tories
back into office on wave of
Khaki jingoism."
"The plot is well matured," the
Sunday Worker warns, "and is al
ready being put into execution"
Reports of Soviet activity on the
Afghan frontier, which the British
government, through the capitalist
news agencies, has been systemat-
ically spreading for days, already
Indicate that the tories have en-
parked on their conspiracy.
The Moscow gag is a little out
worn as an election stunt and the
tories are this time depending upon
their widespread arrests of working
class leaders in India to hoist them
into office. The tories are already
raising the alarm that the Indian
empire is in peril from inner revolt,
and that there is malign, foreign
influence, "the hand of Moscow"
The British intelligence service is
also making visits to the headquar-
tiers Of the Communist Party of
Great Britain, and is making every
effort to connect as many British
Communists as possible with the
agitation against British oppression
in India.

Note.-The father and mother of
Alexander Neverov (1SS6-1923)
were tillers OF the soil. With an
education slightly above elementary
he worked as teacher in various vii
Jage schools for over IL years. In
1915 he was drafted into the army.
Later he shOuIdered his rifle to
fight Kolchak. In I920-1921 he and
his family found themelves in the
famine area. This part Of his ex-
perience he utilized in one of the
finest bits Of pcst-revolutionary
writing,-in the novel "Tashkent-
the City of Bread"
Neverov's first story saw light
In 1906, but he actually grew to his
real stature since the revolution.
lis eye was always fixed on the
illage. particularly on the poor

in a brighter and happier life SO

The Goat got excited, started to
look for something to hit her with,
and Marya, threateningly:
"Just touch me. ] will break all
the pots on your goats head!"
This was the beginning. The Goat
would show his power-Marya

the bed, Marya-on the oven. The
Goat would go to her, she-from
him.
"No, darling, things aren't what
they used to be. Fast awhile"
"Come to me-"

The Goat would jump about the
bed, and go to sleep under a COLI

him on her arm, stroke his hair,

The Goat would pinch her-she'd

"And suppose it does hurt. . . 1t

And he'd pinch her again-he was

And as soon as he was satisfied,
she'd begin with him.
"Ah, you Goat, you Goat. Let me

500 JAILED IN
new JUCO-SLAv
TERROR drive
Follows Assassination
of CrOat Leader

VIENNA, Austria, April Con
troll of police powers unsurpassed
even in czarist Russia is revealed
in consequence of the Jugo-Slav
relationships action in the assassin
alton of Toni Schlegel, Croatian ma
tionalist editor. Five hundred men
and women were arrested in few
hours after the assassination, and
many of them are still incarcerated
in the Jugo-Slav prisons with no
more definite charge than govern
ment suspicion against them.
Toni Schlegel, former Creation
nationalist, who made peace with
the new dictator, King Alexander,
and General Zirkovich, the power
behind the throne, was murdered
mysteriously a few days ago. News
of his death reached Belgrade while
the members of the cabinet were
at dinner and the police were in
stantly called to capture the assas-
sins. They failed in this, but the
governments dragnet secured q
number of victims whom it has been
seeking to Jail on any charge for
some time.
The dictatorship is now function
ing so smoothly that the Jugo-Slav
newspapers print no item whatso-
ever that will suggest what the po-
litical situation in the country may
DE.
General Zirkovich, who was instru-
mental in causing King Alexander
to sign the decree making himself
dictator, is now the virtual dictator
of Jugo-Slavia.
Ruthless oppression of working
class organizations is the order of
the day and the dictatorial powers

TO SEND HERRICK
CORPSE TO U.S.A.
France to Exploit Body
for Imperialism, Too

PARIS, April 1.-Pending the
approval of Herbert Hoover, plans
to send the dead body of Myron T.
Herrick, American ambassador, who
died here Sunday of heart trouble,
to the United States aboard a
French cruiser were announced to-
day. The transportation on the
cruiser will be the fitting climax to
an imperialist's career.
A public funeral in France where
the body will be used to drum up
enthusiasm for the coming war, as
was Marshal Foch's, recently, will
be held before the body is shipped
across.
Devoted Imperialist.
Herrick devoted a long life to in
terests of American imperialism. A
member of the staff of William
Mckinley, then governor of Ohio,
and like him a lieutenant of Mark
Hanna, Ohio gang boss, Herrick
himself later succeeded to the gov
ernorship. His acknowledgement
was the oily, malodorous Warren
G. Harding.
In August of 1914, Herrick took
over the embassies of the Central
European imperialists, then at war
with the allied imperialists. In this
advantageous position he proceed
ed to carry on constant, unneutral
pro-Allied propaganda.
Herrick. bitter foe of the Sow
let Union, attacked it constantly in

Perhaps Lindbergh was thinking of

ART LOVERS CLUB
TO OPEN IN LONDON
Interesting Old English House
Is Being Made Into
Quarters.

LONDON, October Is (N.AN.A).-
A new and palatial club for art lovers
is shortly to be opened In Bruton street,
Mayfair. 1t Is to be known as the
Bruton Club, and an interesting old
house is being converted and enlarged
for the premises.
The club will comprise theater with
a seating capacity of nearly 900, where
works of new playwrights will be tried
out and where established authors Will
be free to attempt new and expert
mental dramatic forms; a studio where
artists may find a suitable place for the
taurant, a concert hall, a ballroom
large enough fer 800 people and a roof
garden for quiet retreat.
Much of the interior of the house
will be left as it is at present. The
fine old oak staircase which runs out
of the oak-paneled hall will remain I'M
touched, and so will the priceless paint
ingS on the ceiling over this main hall.
The dance hall is one which has re-
ceived royalty, and in the beautiful
library dozens of historic celebrities
have read books, some of which are ex-
tremely valuable and are still to be
found on the oaken shelves.
Everywhere the house impresses oaa
with its beauty and solidity. The mag
nificent oak paneling of the present
dining room, for instance, dates back
to 1913.
The club will be the last word in
luxury, but nevertheless original mem
bers may be enrolled o. the modest fee
of $3.50 for town numbers and $3.50
for country members.
