Talk For RedivisiOn
of War Spoils Shows
Sharper AntagOnisms

Since the demand for the revi-
sion of the Versailles Treaty was
voiced by Mussolini and then fol-
lowed by Germany and Hungary in
rapid succession in their answers to
the BRAND proposal for a United
States of Europe, the ice was
broken and official, semi official,
and unofficial cries for a redistribu-
ton of the world was uttered by
almost all those capitalist powers
that want a change in present divi-
sion of the spoils.
Recently, a speech delivered by a
German cabinet minister during the
election campaign demanding the
immediate revision of the Versailles
Treaty, as to be expected, created
considerable commotion among dip
lomatic circles and engendered a
protest from BRAND who summoned
the German Ambassador in Paris
to his presence and requested him
to "prevent such unseemly utter
ances in the future" Thus diplo-
matte skirmishes preparing the
ground for the coming imperialist
war are assuming more and more
an alarming and menacing tone.

competition; foreign business will
come to US henceforth through work
on our part. The days Immediately
following the war are gone and with
the1n is gone the ease with which
we conquered new markets. We
were alone in the field. Today
there are others and we must be
equipped to meet and depend for
victory only upon our ability to out
do our rivals. At the present time
the keenest competition is likely to
come from Great Britain, the pion-
eer in foreign investments"
But Wlnkler does not tell the
whole story. Behind this sharp
ened competition we see the huge
war preparations and the growing
imperialist war dangers. Markets
of the type of Argentina are life
and death matters for imperialism,
and it is not just a question of
friendly joust or sport, with the
winner taking the spoils and the
loser congratulating him. 1t is to
hack up precisely a struggle Of this
type that the Senate voted the
billion-dollar expenditure for naval
ornaments.

Battle for Markets Shows
Why War Billions Are Spent

The battle for the Latin American
markets, and especially for those of
Argentina, is becoming hot. A
fierce struggle is now raging be-
tween United States and British i'm
perialism for Argentine business
and investments. While following
the World War American imperial
ism made big headway; now, as the
world crisis grows, the British have
redoubled their efforts to oust Wall
Street from this market. That this
friction is reaching a high pitch is
the gist of an article written by DR..
Max Winkler, Latin-American trade
and investment expert, and pub
lished in the N. Y. Post (Aug. 16):
DR.. Winkler, commenting on the
D'Abernon Commission which wrest-
ed $80,0OO,000 in trade from the
U. S., and the proposed visit of the
Prince of Wales as a super-salesman
to Argentine, sttaes:

the United States will not stand by
idly, while Great Britain will strive
to regain the leading position in
trade with the Argentine Republic.

ORGANIZES NEGRO
Prick WORKERS

BACON, N. Y, Aug. 1S.-Sev-
enty-five Negro workers of the
Hammond brick yard walked out
against wage-cut of % cents and
a demand of the boss that they make
$4,000 bricks a day instead of
$4,000.
At first the workers did not re-
alize that thes- had to organize to
make their demand effective. In
stead they sat at home, making no
effort to enforce their demands. At
this the boss was tickled, figuring
they would soon be broke and forced
to return to work. But the Trade
Union Unity League sent an or
ganizer into the situation, who
helped them organize strike COM
mittee and prepare the entire yard
for strike. At this, the boss got
frightened and withdrew the wage
cut in an effort to break the unity
of the workers.
On account of the lateness of the
season, with only four weeks more
of work, the workers decided 70 60
back to work, having forced the
boss to retreat. fOut of the struggle
has grown strong shop commit
tee, which has set about organizing
the workers for real struggle

Augusta, Ga, Police Buy
Machine Gun, Gas B o m b S,
When Jobless Demand Work

there are many cotton mills and
other workers who are out of work
or on very short time with the low
est of pay, many of them with large
and hungry families. Next ques-
tion was vital one to them.
On April 4 the police commission
and Chief Britt, hearing the rumble
of revolt among the toiling masses,
asked this same council to authorize
them to buy tear gas bombs, tear
gas gun and machine gun.
Police Buy Machine Gun.
The bombs and tear gas gun was
granted, but not the machine gun
but the machine gun was purchased
anyway.
One young councilman was in
suited and demanded that the per-
son guilty of buying without au-
thority be punished. The same COM
missioner who asked for the bank
masters salary declared that the
letter from the council had been
confused with the original list of
articles and therefore it was pur-
chased by mistake.
This mans evasive answer when
asked what the police wanted with
machine gun was an insult TO the
whole working class. He said:
"Oh, we thought it would be nice
thing to have and some day it my
come in handy" A committee was
quickly appointed to hush this mat
ter up.
The clouds of revolt are gather
ing here and it is not the "reds" nor
Moscow" who is to blame, but the
exploiters of these poor workers
themselves.

What the Strike Fund Is For.
1t is for use in conditions such
as the splendid strikes of the South
ern mill workers, fighting brutal
exploitation, gunmen and the power
of the state, that the Trade Union
Unity League conducts its present
drive to accumulate a 100000
strike fund. The collection of this
fund is going along with cam
paign for increased membership in
the T. U. U. L., and of preparation
for the great Unemployment Day
(Sept. y demonstrations for. the
Workers Social Insurance Bill pro-
posed by the Communist Party.
The T. U. U. L. national office
has issued instructions for mob
ilization in all districts and affili-
ated unions and leagues for these
main objectives. The T. U. U. L.
stands for Organization and strike
against all wage-cuts. The leading
committees of the national unions
and national leagues are to direct
this united campaign, issuing for
the workers in their industries pos
ters, leaflets, recruiting and collec-
tion literature and publicity to the
press. The "Organize and Strike"
fund shall also be increased by af-
fairs and mass events of all sorts.
Build Shop Committees.
The number of mine, mill and
factory committees must be in
creased by the campaign and the
number of shop papers augmented.
The campaign will be carried right
through mines, shops and mills to
organize committees of action, ETC.,
and every wage-cut or case of wor-
sened conditions and speed-up will
be utilized, explained to the work
ers, and, wherever possible, a
struggle will be waged against it.
The T. U. U. L. instructs that special
attention must be given to the
problem of organizing the most op-
pressed classes-the Negro workers,
women workers and the youth. In
the textile industry, especially,
there are many women and young
workers.

The all-wise city council of Au-

most disgusting shows of capitalist
extravaganza was witnessed by a
number of workers who were pres

The first motion before these
capitalist tools was to appropriate
$1,500 to the city traffic commits

investigate for the petty capitalists
of Augusta why freight rates were
more from Chicago, ETC., the other
purpose was to gather data on some
obscure dam project down the Sa-
vannah river.

This data, mind you, had been
gotten once, but in the wrong way,
it was claimed by the traffic COM
mission, and had to be gotten again
a. the expense of the workers.
Next the chamber of commerce
asked for the amount of $4,000 to
advertise the city. This debate was
postponed until today, when, in
special meeting, they would decide
whether or not to give $4,000 away.
1t would be a safe bet that they
do.
Next, a motion to appropriate
salary for an instructor for the po-
lice band. 81 object" yelled wise
one, who later voted to appropriate
$50 per month, providing the police
department, which is financed by the
council, paid the remainder.
Next, a question in which the

that conformed to the desires ex-
