AID M|TS BRITISH,
U. S. NAVAL FIGHT
Churchill in Canada to
Aid War Plans

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 16-Naval
jealousy between Great Britain and
the United States was again openly
admitted by Winston Churchill, for
mer British chancellor of the -eX-
chequer, in a speech here today.
'There is a wide range of differ
ence between the naval protection
needed by Great Britain and the
United States" he said.
limiting that the U. S. must keep
clear of any suggestion that Brit
ain chop down on the battleships,
he said: "The British navy is the
greatest asset of the British en-
pire. The two leading imperialist
powers should "share the freedom
of the SEAS" he added diplomat
cally, although his speech bristled
with suggestive references to the
impending break.
Churchill's visit is similar to the
Prince of Wales trip three years
ago - to insure the maximum sup
port for Downing Street when the
coming war splits Canada's ruling
class into two warning camps, pro-
Britain and pro-American.

5000 CARMEN IN
DUBLIN STRIKE
AGAINST BOSSES
Fight Wage Cut; Tie
Up Transportation

DUBLIN, Aug. 16.-A complete
traction tie-up followed the strike
of 1000 workers of the. Dublin Cor
poration Tramways today against
ten per cent wage cut.
A few privately-owned buses tried
to maintain service, but in most
cases they were unable to get be-
yond the O'Connell St. ,-2minals.
In their resistance to the cut the
men are fighting an open alliance of
the street car bosses and the cor
rupt officialdom of the reactionary
Irish Transport Workers Union,
consistent opponent of militant
workers action ever since it utilized
the unstable years during the civil
wars to consolidate its position with
the employers.
The strikers have the support of
the transport section of the left
wing Workers Union of Ireland,
which is urging the formation of
rank and file strike committees to
offset the conciliatory tactics of the
right wing union officialdom.

MILL WORKER
FIGHT BRITISH
STRIKE SELL0UT
Textile Mills Reopen;
Workers Furious

MANCHESTER, England, Aug,
resentment swept thru
out the mill districts today as the
100000 textile strikers learned the
terms of the sell-out completed by
the labor government, reactionary
trade union leaders and the employ
ers.
Led by the minority movements
and the Communist Party, however,
rank-and-file strike committees are
hastily preparing their machinery to
resist the settlement.
The mills, which have been tied
up for three weeks since the owners
gave their notice of the 1917 per
cent wage cut, will reopen Monday.
Because the court has not yet de-
cided the exact extent of the cut, it
was announced that the old rate of
wages will temporarily prevail. The
slash, however, will be retroactive,
tightening the already scanty pay
envelopes of the weavers when the
new wage scales take effect. The
employers, of course, won out on
their determined stand not to dis
cuss arbitration on any considera-
ton unless the wage cut was estab-
lished as a first principle.
At Blackburn, Oldham and Bolton
jeers and Kisses greeted the news of
the decision.
Two representative of the unions
end the employers will meet, and to
clinch the treacherous union leaders
deal with the owners and 'independ-
ent" chairman will rule.
Satisfied with the outcome Of the
arbitration decision, Sir Horace Will
son, official mediator of the labor
government, will today set sail for
Canada. He will join the labor i'm
perialist, ]. H. Thomas, who is aid
ing the dominion government with
plans to dump Britain's unemployed
on the Canadian labor market.

are the order of the day. We quote
few instances.
In LonglaviIle, Villa was deported

longing to the Communist Party"
In Villerupt the police deported
Pelati. The charge against him was
that he had taken part in the or
ganization of the funeral of a fell
low worker who had been killed by
an accident due to naturalization.
The funeral procession consisted OF
1900 workers. This was enough for
the police to deport Pelati and

rope of the revolutions of 1848 in
which the Partisan proletariat
provsd the foremost and best
fighters, the bourgeoisie, despite its
victory, was so thoroughly fright
ened that it ran back to the feudal
monarchist reaction against which it
had fumed and stormed. The bour-
geoisie had cause for fright. The
period following 1848 was a period
during which the working class was
examining it's shortcomings, was
learning to appreciate the events of
184S during which it had concep-
lions largely colored by the strug-
giles of the bourgeoisie against the
feudal-monarchist rulers, and was
beginning to develop new concep-
tons; that is its own class under
sanding.
But 1871 did not find the working
class able to hold power. The at
tempt of Theirs to take from the
Paris National Guard it's cannon
pYecipitated re uprising which had
been fastened by French defeat by
Germany. The revolution was
swiftly victorious. Power fell into
the hands of the working class
alone. No other class was able to
carry through the revolution. But
while Paris was struggling against
the armies of the bourgeoisie,, the
rest of the proletariat of France
stood by with folded arms showing
thereby that it was not prepared for
the task that critical historic mo-
ment had put upon it. The Com
mune was $50 greatly weakened
by the struggle between its two par
ties; the majority Blanquists and
the minority Proudhonists, neither
of whom were sufficiently decisive,
neither of whom understood what
was to be done. The Paris Commune
fell, after a display of proletarian
heroism, which provided an exam
pie for every working class revolu-
lion from 1905 to Canton.
Paris on the Barricadc5 is a book
let which deals with those stirring
days. 1t borrc IS the style of fic-
ton but it clings to historical fact
in its narration. In its tendency it
represent the growing maturity of
the working class which is making
it's struggles in any country part
of its culture and tradition in all
countries.
Despite its shortcomings, it is a
splendid booklet and should be
spread far. Its mechanics are SIM
pie. An old man, who was a lad
of twelve during the Commune re-
lates his impressions. The mechan-
les however, are the very things
which bring the shortcomings. 1t is
obvious that lad of twelve would
hardly understand the personalities
that led the Commune, the politi-
cal conflicts among them, the deci-
sions and DEGREES that characterize
them, etc. This very vital and in
teresting phase of the Commune is
therefore mostly omitted. Such a
view would "bI.l-" the Commune

Zeppelin were followed by indica-
lions that the Zeppelin works is
willing to sell if their price, believed
to be $1,5OO,OOO, is met.
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Aug. 16,
= The Graf Zeppelin, bound for
Toxic from Friedrichshafen on the
second leg of its world tour, left
the fertile valleys of European So
Wet Russia behind this morning
and scared over the Ural Mountains
toward the extensive fir forests of
Siberia.
After crossing into Soviet terri
tory from Latvia last night, the
huge ship was turned north of Mos
COW becaus1 of adverse weather and
flew over a region which many for
eigners believe to be " | and de-
serted, but which astonished the 20
passengers and the crew of 40 with
its appearance of prosperity.
They saw busy towns and viii
lagos, great forests and luxuriant
farms, overwhelming proofs of the
tremendous achievements of the U
S. S. R. in the building of social
ism. Peasants at work in the fer.
tile fields looked up with interest
at the monster of the skies - the
first dirigible to fly over that sec
ton.
On the other S g Of the Urals the
country changes. Far to the north
are frozen tundras; to the south are
steppes and morasses, while in be-
tween is a stretch of about 300
miles of virgin forest, with occa-
sional villages.
Soviet airmen, from the course
the Graf was taking, predicted that
it would continue to follow the po-
lar route across Siberia to the Fan
East, flying about 1000 miles over
almost uninhabited regions to Yen
issek, and thence to Yakutsk, on the
Lena river; Khaborovsk, on the
Manchurian border, where the impe-
rialist powers have concentrated
white guard and mercenary Chinese
troops for an immediate invasion
of the Soviet Republic; from there
the potential war bag will cruise
down to Vladivostok and across the
Japanese Sea to Toxic.

this that the booklet achieves lies in
those passages which speak about

reactions among t. various classes
to these DEGREES, which passages are
among the best in he originality Of
their contribution as compared in
this respect TO other works on the

novelists who write of the work

borrow phrase from the cynical
novelists who write of the the work
ing class but only to express their
own decadence in their attitude to-
wards it. In booklet so fresh and
straightforward as this such ex-
pressions have no place.
In the third edition we would also
urge a change of title. The pres

The booklet makes no attempt to
cover the entire political vista pro-

Why, we must ask, should the
