REVEREND RUSSELL, man of god preached
sermon yesterday in which he apologies
to his congregation for the lack of success of
the London peace" conference "No one would
say that the conference was failure although
it fell short of the mark" he said, and then
our most reverend follower of the gentle
Jesus declares that the reason that peace
comes slowly in the peace conference is
because many places on the worlds map are
laid out in red and this spells danger to the
world"
He declares that the Soviets have no morals
of sex and no sense of private ownership and
no belief in god! Therefore we are slow to
disarm."
He also points to the terrible conditions in
India as one of the reasons why we hesitate
to give up our guns and battle ships
This most reverend gentleman, like the pope,
like Morgan and Mr.. Hoover, is preparing the
minds of his congregation for war and making
them think it is gods will even now before
it starts.
And the minister knows why 1--WE" are
feverishly arming for war. At the same time
he brazingly says the peace conference was
conference for disarmament. He says it in
the name of god and Mr.. Hoover recently said
it in the name of the state. How we'll they work
together. Mr.. Hoover declared:
"In the event of war the United States
will draft every bit of man power and all the
wealth of the country for war service"
Mr.. Hoover believes in the division of labor
The rich man will give part of his wealth
Qike hellD and the poor man will give his
life. Thus history repeats itself, for in the last
war, rich men gave their sons to the service
of their country safe in Washington office
at dollar a year land graft), while the sons
of the working class were sent into the trenches
to be made into mince meat by cannon and
bombs.
Mr.. Hoover is very severe about it--no play
ing around. He knows that the peace confer
ence dance. The United States got $685.
900 tons of battle ships per year for the next
few years out of it.
Great Britain got hers out of it and per-
mission is also given to sour" lesser cousins,
Italy and France, to continue to build war
machines. The peace conference cost million
doll RS and was keralded with the trrmpets
of the angel of peace all over the world 1t is
surely a remarkable trick. "Our" delegates
went to the peace conference and brought back
permission to build more battle ships.
Reverend Russell points claerly to the fact
that Red Russia is the main reason why, al
though 1--WE" call peace conference eve"
cannot really talk about disarmament.
Capitalism finds itself in the severest crisis
III ito ho'oly. iiooVei Iaiho VI prosperity anu
the stock market crashes. Government officials
declare that unemployment is passing and more
millions of workers thrown out of work.
Indian workers engaged in revolution
and the socialist" Ramsay Macdonald sends
British troops to shoot them down, being a
perfect servant of the British crown and Brit
ish imperialism. The crisis has reached Ger
many and ten per cent wage cut is made on
a national scale. In Spain the workers are
fighting wage cuts and getting beaten and
shot in the same up-to-date manner as in
modern America, and so on around the world.
But in the Soviet Union, rapidly and steadily
socialism is being built.
Opposed to all this bedlam Of imperialism
and all anarchy of production and all this hell
of starvation for unemployed work s, Soviet
Russia stands out, shining light to the work
ers of the world While the capitalist govern
