There she has lived undisturbed

once made her life, perhaps, too
full of excitement. But, despite
this .leisureIy and peaceful exist.
ence, Miss Rankin has kept "a
keen interest in the legislation on
the Hill.
1t is because Of this Interest
that she is in Washington now.
Especially does she keep in touch
with developments In interna.
tional relations.
She has long been an advocate
of legislation to outlaw war. Be-
lieved in Senator Borah's plans.
And now is supporting the Frazier
bill. which would make 1t legally
impossible to go to war.
Garden Party
Miss Rankin has been enjoying
the association with the women
in Washington, who are working
outside of the home well as
inside.
Especially interesting was the
garden party day or two ago

ARMS PROGRAM
Insists on 10000 Ton
Battle Cruisers

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Amer-
lean imperialism will stand fast for
its cruiser program, whatever at
tempts are made by England to get
modification more in favor of the
British empire in the forthcoming
clash between the two.
The U. S. stands for big shin"
10000 tons or more, because of its
relatively fewer coaling stations.
England, which has announced that
it will build ship for ship prefers
that the competition be confined to
$500 ton vessels.
No change will be made in the
American position at the prelimin-
airy disarmament conference in
Geneva beginning April Is, Secre-
tary of State Stimson said today.
Stimson said the general American
policy instituted under President
Coolidge would be continued. Sew
eral countries, he pointed out, de-
sired to combine the land, air and
sea armament problems, but the
United States was represented as
being only slightly affected by the
land and air questions and having g
principal interest on the sea.

STRIKE AGAINST
. WAGE CUT LOOMS
Workers Prepare to
Fight Reductions

LONDON, England, April g.
Strike action seemed looming at
Liversedge today when the Power
Loom Turner's Society decided not
to accept wage reductions proposed
yesterday by number of wooden
concerns.
simultaneously with the wage
dispute in the heavy wooden indus
try, Priestly Brothers, blanket
manufacturers of Liversedge, mott
fled the workers that a ten per cent
wage cut will become effective I'M
mediately.
The announcement brought about
large meetings of the textile work
ers at Dewbury and Bailey at which
resolutions denouncing the wage cut
and demanding that the bosses
withdraw it were passed.
Should the bosses fail to accede
to this demand the trade unions are
authorized to take a ballot of al
textile workers on whether or not
they are ready to strike against the
proposed wage cuts, all sections OF
the workers agreeing to follow
whatever decision is reached by the
ballot.
The reformist union officialdom
is understood to be attempting tt
sidetrack the strike sentiment of thC
workers.

PARIS, April 5.-The discussion
at the Congress of the Communist
Party of France continued today,
representatives of the Northern dis
trict denying that they underestim-
ated the active role of the social
democracy as handmaidens of the
bourgeoisie. They admitted, how
ever, that they did underestimate
the influence of the socialists.
Doriot Admits Mistakes.
Doriot admitted his errors rela-
tive to the tactics of the election
campaign and to the role of the
Left wing social democrats. He con-
demned the attitude of the Right
wingers in the Communist Party OF
the Soviet Union, who, he said, had
abandoned the building up of So
cialism. He also condemned the at
titude of the Right winger, Crozet
declaring that capitalist stabiliza-
ton was rotten even in France
where there is at present trade
boom.
Doriot concluded his remarks by
declaring that it is only possible
to defeat the Right wingers if the
basis for recruiting Party members
is changed in order to win the most
exploited sections of the working
class.
Rank and File for Party Policy.
Many rank and file delegates from
the factories spoke, stating that the
discussion was superficial if it per
mitted everyone to agree to Party
principles but to fail to carry GU
Party policy.
| Large scale factory delegations re
ported an increased production O
munitions. The delegates of thu
North district stated that they hat
no disagreement with the Part!
leadership, and recognized the ne
cessity for reorganization, saying
also, however, that the Party lead
ership was weak.
Monmousseau stressed the neces
sity of winning the most eXploite
sections of the working class and o
enlivening the Party by factor,
councils and public self criticism.

the British imperialist government
of Uganda ordered all exports to
the stricken district cut off. The
situation of the Negroes quickly be-
came terrible.
As the pangs of famine mounted,
the spirit of revolt, astir in the
African swamps, swept from Bel
gian Ruanda to the neighboring
tribes in British Uganda.
Drive Out White Oppressors.
Under the leadership of the King
of Ruanda's brother and a priestess
of the Nga Bingri tribe the sta2v-
ing and desperate Negroes carried
their revolt thruout the British and
Belgian districts.
The revolving Negroes declared
that the Europeans must be driven
out of Africa and called upon the
natives everywhere to rise against
their oppressors.
Kill Native Traitors.
The Negroes revolted first at Cat
sibou where native princes known
to be friendly to the foreigners
were killed outright. A number of
Belgian officials were also killed
and the remainder driven out.
Armed with all the terrors OF
modern warfare, the Belgian troops
were rushed to suppress the rebel
lion and, against them the Negroes,
armed only with spears and knives,
were able to make no real lesis-
lance.
British Hand Back Rebels.
The leaders of the rebellion fled
thru the swamps, tracked by the
Belgian soldiers, till they reached
Uganda. There the British authori-

POLAR
AREA RICH IN
COAL DEPOSITS
Monroe Doctrine May
Be Invoked

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Com-
mander Richard E. Byrd's explora-
ton venture in the South Polar area
has created a diplomatic situation
which has reached the point where
the State Department has prepared
note contesting certain British
claims in Antarctica.
The note is expected to be for
warded to the British government
soon. 1t was drafted after receipt
by the department of note from
Great Britain which implied British
sovereignty over virtually all of the
Antarctic region.
Innocent" Note Received.
There is no mention in the Amer
lean note of the Monroe Doctrine
buc it is understood the department
has contemplate taking the posi-.
ton President Monroe's proclama
ton could be made applicable tt
parts of Antarctica on the theory
that some of the South Polar region
is a part of the Western Henri
sphere.
The department prepared a reply
when there was received from Grea
Britain note, apparently innocu
Gus, to the effect that if Commando
Byrd wished to land on British ter
Pitory in making his explorations
Britain would be glad for him t.
Go so.
Must Resist British Claims.
To permit this note to remain I'm
answered, in the opinion of Ameri
can diplomats, would amount to al
admission of all British claims in tn
Antarctic.
The U. S. government is expecte
to make counter claims. The Bri
/ fish note mentioned the proclama
J ton of 1926 by the British Imperis
Conference, which made claim t
virtually all of Antarctic then know
to exist.
Official American interest in tn
Antarctic is of comparatively recer
origin. 1t is coincident with the re
port that large mineral and coal de
posts, similar to those in variou
sections of the Arctic, are to
found in Antarctica.

Stanislaw Patek, the Polish en-

post.
1t is believed that Pilsudski ia

A STORY of CIVIL WARS m the USSR.

"We know all that; we've heard it
before~
"That's all well and good, but
where's the bread?"
Again the irrepressible voices
were clamoring.
Catching sight of Andronnikov,
Reznikov was glad and embarrassed
at the same time. His flush be-
came deeper, and his tongue, the
mischievous thing, kept on moving
by itself like a wound-up top, con-
tinuing his speech:
Sand so we must hold on and
maintain discipline. -"
eyes, Hold on! That's why
you hold on to potatoes till they
rot!"
"What discipline can there be
without bread?"
Reznikov had no more strength
to cont,n
Due to his failure and to his long
speech he breathed hard, as if he
were tanning ten samovars with his
breath. Still, his face bloomed with
color, and he smiled, and his eyes
were as clear as ever, and his ears
burned like the ears of a little boy
after boxing" He was very,
very sorry that Andronnikov and
Bertenyev were there to see him
just at that moment. He, once
brave Social Revolutionist and a
terrorist, was ashamed at his fail
ure. He was also ashamed in his own
sight, that the people whom he
loved, for whom he had struggled
and suffered, proved to be so I'M
grateful. There it is, the many
headed people, full of anger, roar
ing like a wild boar.
THE CHAIRMAN arose. He was
without a mustache, beardless
and PARTICLES soldier, with the face
Ct castrate, and of4his chin mole
