PLEASE DEPORT US

A "slip of a woman" spent 10
months in New Ireland, South Sea
isle inhabited by ex-cannibals,
whose economic progress is still
that of the Stone Age. She says
the folks there have mo conscious
ness of religion, no gods, no heaven,
no hell. Yet they live rational lives,
in many respects superior to ours.
1t is a secure society in the sense
that none fears old age. Starvation
or hunger is unknown; if one fam
lily is by some act of nature de-
prived of food, the more fortunate
ones see that the unfortunate are
fed" There are lots of other adj
vantages about living among can
nibals rather than among capital
lists, but we'll merely mention that
when Fish and Matte Vol want
to deport us, since there seems to
be some legal obstacle to sending
us to our choice land, the socialist
society of the Soviet Union, please
send us to New Ireland as a second
choice, only leave the Irish cops be-
hind. They haven't advanced yet
as far as the Stone Age.

ability and strength of the United
States.
These sports maneuvers are not
only confined to the imperialist coun-
tries alone but also to the colonial
countries. It is just two months
ago since a caribbean Olympics was
held in Cuba, under direct inspira-
ton of the American government.
Only a month after, an Asiatic
Olympics was held in Japan. In
August of this year the British gov
eminent is planning to stage an En-
pire Olympics in Canada.
The object of these "Olympics" is
very obvious, to win influence over
certain colonial countries, create
good will" and consolidate the base
of the respective imperialist powers
in the colonies.
At home, we find that the bourg-
eoisie are spending millions of dol

Not with the object of furthering

teur Athletic Union year book, the
leading bourgeois sport organiza-
ton.

countries realize the Importance of
this (A.A.U.) work and are waking

armies. The world war proved it
and even the Central Powers sing
praises of the form of arthletics the
A.A.U. promotes, and there is in
evidence tremendous athletic boom
in these countries"
The strong company sports move
ment, the city recreation activities
and all other forms of bourgeois
sports have but one main object in
view-and that is to prepare the
youth for the defense Of the imper-
ialist "fatherland."
Workers Sports.
Opposed to this bosses sports
movement is the Labor Sports Union
which is militant working class
organization fighting for the inter
es of worker sportsmen on the
field and supporting the struggles
of the working class generally. At
present it is yet a small movement
but with the support of the working
class we will build it into a power
full instrument in the hands of the
workers. In the past this support
has not been Forthcoming. A diff
ferent attitude towards it must be
taken by the revolutionary working
class.

UNEMPLOYMENT IN the USSR

United States, 100000 left the
farms of the Soviet Union and were
added to the list of workers in the
factories and construction enter
prises.
Still more important is a study of
those actually waiting jobs, in the
U. S. S. R. There are practically
no skilled workers seeking employ
ment. The overwhelming majority
are those waiting for their first
work (not counted as unemployed
by the United States census
takers); those who have no definite
employment (they would not, be
counted by the U. S. census as I'M
employed) and peasants, newly ar
rived in the cities from the farms,
unskilled, Of course, and not yet
given their first job. (They would
not be counted as unemployed by
the U. S. census.)
High Percentage Women.
Some figures show what it is like
in particular exchanges.
In Moscow there were no adult
men workers waiting for jobs on
April 1. Of the 10000 registered,
10000 were women; half of the
total were young workers who had
never worked before. Outside OF
the capital, to which everybody
wants especially to go, there is even
less unemployment. In Leningrad,
in March, there were but 24,500 on
the exchange, practically all of them
young workers, living at home and
asking for their first job, and
women workers, housewives whose
children have grown up, young
wives whose husbands have died, etc.
The treatment of unemployed, of
course, has no comparison. Unem-
ployed of whatever class in Amer

ton of the worker sportsmen were
modified for this protest demon
stration. This year the worker
sportsmen must answer the call and
come in force to these demonstra-
lions throughout the country. The
worker sportsmen must not only
come to demonstrate against the
war danger and the use of sports
as means of war preparation but
they must also come out as active
defenders of the demonstrations
against the attacks of the police and
fascist forces. The worker sports
men gave a good accounting of
themselves at the demonstration in
front of the British Consulate on
June 5. Such results must not only
be repeated but multiplied in the
future.
The Workers Defense Corps is a
crying need of the hour. The work
err sportsmen must help to form this
arm of the workers with which to
hurl back the attacks of the police
and fascist forces.

WHAT FOR FOR?

The Fellowship of Reconciliation
(F.O.R.) is in grave danger of a
split, despite it's name. A referen-
dunn to members signed by no less
bigwig than the scantified social
fascist, A. j. Music, reveals that
there are three "wings" in the F.O.
R. and the situation is most grave.
The terrible thing is, that it's all
over Jesus. The three swings" con-
flicting ideas are stated as "Posi-
ton Az, "B" and "C". The alpha
bet leaves room for more, but that's
enough for the unreconciled recon-
ciliationists. We looked 'em over
to see what the heck it was all
about, maybe there might be a left
wing. But darned if we could find
any. 1t seems that after having

REAL SIAMESE TWINS

From current swill-barrel paper
we get the idea that the economic
crisis has hit things hard. "The
Siamese twin business is not what
it used to be-" it says. In New Jer-
sey, a couple of girls, sisters, GO to
court against side-show proprietor.
They are demanding back pay for
the work they do, which is taking
Siamese twins (supposed to be
joined together by flesh so that they
must live tied up that way for life) =.
The girls faxed it with a wad of
rags and flesh-colored rubber COW
ering.
Kind of funny, but it's only a
very small example of how crooked
ness thrives under capitalism. Hoo

warships and plans to make fuss
in the elections over achieving
"peace" and disarmament" Capt.
talism and crookedness are the real
Siamese twins.

got the idea that it should declare
that it stood for something. Hence
all the row. Summarizing "A", its
adherents say that the F. o. r. must
"Keep Central and Typical the Ref
erence to Jesus, among other reas-
ons given-"The unique fitness of
Jesus of Galilee as a symbol of pac-
ifism." The "A-ites" say that F. o.
R. purpose" is that "Love elm
mates barriers of Glass;" etc. Work
ers can try that on the boss, but we
won't guarantee results. The "B"
position is to-"Omit all Specific
Reference to Jesus, claiming -
"That in retaining these symbols
and terms we take the position of
some in the early church who would
not accept believers unless they SUBJ
mitted to the rite of circumscion."
We would say that any worker who
follows Music into the A. F. of L..
can expect not only circumcision, but
castration. However, the "B-ites"
are dead set against bosses being
Disseminated against by workers,
and say the F. O. R. invites all "who
are ready to adventure upon the
way of love-, and we judge from
what they say that the uncircum-
sized are welcome. Position C" is
for Referring Definitely to the Way
of Life Exemplified by Jesus, but
Not to Leave this Reference Ex-
elusive" (whatever that means),
though they say they welcome those
who have faith "in the way of love
from other approaches" Concrete
ly, they propose that F. o. R. men,
bers can believe in Whalen's sway
of love" with blackjacks, as they
are for members who hold different
views "as to the employment Of ply
steal restraint in civil life, either
by individuals or police" All told,
it's hard choice Mr.. Music hands
out, but you can bet that he will
go with the police, Jesus or no Jesus.

The role of sports in this third
period of post war capitalism is
worthy of serious study and atten-
ton by every revolutionary worker
in order to be better prepared 70
mobilize every section of the work
ing class for the struggle of the day.
The bourgeoisie internationally,
have long ago realized the direct
connection between sports and the
preparation of the working class
for the defense of imperialist in
terests at home and abroad. They
are not losing any time in the APP
plication of this knowledge.
We may hereby cite a few con-
crete examples. The world bourgeois
Olympics held in Amsterdam, Hol-
land, in 1928, was an arena of in
ternational rivalry. Here each inn
perialist power viewed with others
through their athletes for record
performances. When an athlete
won an event the imperialist flag
O. the country was raised on the
flag pole. The United States press
at that time took great delight in
poking fun at the results of Brit
ISL athletes.
Since then the U. S. government
has been very active financing star
athletes for extended trips abroad
to take part in various meets with
the object of further advertising the

% Soviet Government figures show

But the important thing is, what
kind of unemployment is it in these
countries, and what are the trends ?
Where 1t Grows.
The unemployment in the United
States is basic. The workers are
being discharged in masses, in hum
dreds and thousands, when whole
plants close down or drastic cuts
are made. In addition, skilled work
ers are being thrown out, replaced
by their wives in some cases, re-
placed by children, replaced by other
workers who now do two mems
work for one mans pay, and with
wagecut at that.
This is true Of all capitalist coun-
ries. Unemployment is growing

AS information to show workers
Why they should rally to the Anti
War Demonstration on August
First, the Daily Worker publishes
herewith, an article by the Scripps-
Howard Foreign Editor, Simms, re-
printed from the N. Y. Telegram of
Wednesday.
This is not because we regard
Mr.. Simms as an authority or have
any idea that he is sympathetic
With Communists. On the contrary,
We republish his article as show
ng that even the dumbest of cap
talist press prostitutes recognize
he general crisis of capitalism and
he immediacy of the war danger
against the Soviet Union; pointing
out that Simms, far from being
sympathetic to the Soviet Union,
presents the whole question as
peril from the reds" which Gust
happens" rather than, as the facts
are, the world imperialists deliber-
ately conspiring to make war on
he Soviet Union, to which all the
red scare" and anti-Communist
prosecutions are preliminary.
This, of course, is a positive sup
port to the imperialists, and the
Simms article can be taken in no
7ther way.
Many Stupidities.
There are numerous stupidltles IN
the article, and some vicious re-
marks cautiously worded in the
language of an impartial" journal
ist who none the less knows on
what side his bread is buttered. For
example his reference to "Boss
Stain" is on a par with and an
aid to the renegade right wing such
as the Lovestone gang in America,
consciously used to flavor the COM
ing war with justification" in ad-
vance.
Another vicious remark is Simms
completely false quotation" of
Lenin about the east" conquering
he "West." Lenin was concerned
with "conquering" capitalism in
both West and East, and Sinms' lie
that Lenin said what Simms puts
in Lenin's mouth, is consciously
written to inject race prejudice into
what is plainly the worldwide
struggle between classes, justifying
he imperialist oppression of the
olored races.
More Boners.
There is also a perfect bonehead
comment about Poland, as though
the economic crisis there was due
to q quarrel between Pilsudski and
the president-while actually even
the quarrel" is a fake. Yet with
all this, and more we might men
ton, the Simms article recognizes
the fact of colonial revolts, of war
and revolution.
1t might be remarked that while
such a dummy as Simms admits
this, the renegade Lovestone and
Trotskyite cliques are united in
denying this, and helping the war
against the Soviet Union by mini
mixing the danger. Simms proves
The danger is real and immediate,
