to satisfy some foul cancer of the
mind. The resenting of his filthy
epithets to him means opposition to
his authority and prestige and calls
forth campaign of petty spiteful-
ness of which he knows every dirty
trick of dirty trade.
Ashore he can act the part of
elderly benevolence to perfection. A
casual person would hardly believe
it possible that he is such a person
at sea. This notorious freak, for
all of his hard-boiled voice and size
and threatening gestures, when try
ing to intimidate man, is a cow
ardly snake, and has many woman
ish traits, including the wearing of
a kimona-like gown over his under
wear and his uniform cap, and his
room decorated with cute little fancy
curtains and flowers and womanish
gadgets hanging around as decora-
tions.
He is also much given to massag-
ing and powdering his elderly, beefy
face and thick neck, then with the
klmona dressing gown wrapped
around mis- large abdomen, a uni
form cap on his head and slippers
On his feet, his heavy fists clenched,
wild, maniacal light in his eye,
Captain Bluhm is ready for any of
his little diversions. This may sound
exaggerated, but there are many
who will bear me out. He is cum

NEW ORLEANS, La.-There is

Curious Antics of a Slave-Driver.
This man is in class by himself.
In ten years experience I've never
encountered anything remotely ap-
preaching him. His character is a
feverish mess Of perverted egotism,
filth and sadism, and the stunts he
pulls are so childish that it would
hardly be believable. For instance,
in one case all that occupied his i'm
agination was getting rid of all the
white hats worn by members of his
crew. Believe it or not, he eventu-
ally accomplished exactly this, by
having the hats stolen and thrown
overheard, one by one.

room, walk up to a sailor painting
or working on deck and apply lot
of obscene and filthy comments on

campaign inspired by this class is
abetted by the labor government and
is taken as evidence that the agree
ment just signed is by no means
immune from the fate of previous
agreements.
A couple of days after the sign
ing of the Anglo-Soviet trade agree
ment was announced the Soviet
press reprinted an article from the
Independence Roumain," the Off
cial organ of the Roumanian gov
ernment, concerning the construc-
ton of a naval base on the Rou-
manian coast of the Black Sea. This
paper states that the naval plans
of the Roumanian government in
clude the construction Of the naval
base, the building of small vessels
and the mounting of long-range
coastal artillery. AS Roumania will
not be in a position to conduct big
naval operations in the open sea,
says this paper, such operations
must be left to the allied powers.
1t must be presumed, therefore,
that the naval base is intended for
the use of foreign fleets from which
to conduct naval operations in the
Black Sea. Now the only power
against which such operations are
likely to be directed is the Soviet
Union. The Soviet press signifi-
cantly points out that the negotia-
tions for the construction of the
Roumanian naval base in the Black
Sea are being carried out between
the government of Roumania and
Admiral Henderson of the British
navy.

masses of capitalist Europe given
by the existence of the Workers and
Peasants republic is "the most seri-
Gus obstacle" of the political power
of capitalism-the control by the
capitalist class of the toiling masses,
which BRAND gives as essential to
"peace"-namely capitalist peace.
This is further made very clear
in the next paragraph, where BRAND
says that such capitalist solidarity
is necessary.
6. to create guarantees against
labor crises, which are a source of
both political and social instability"
Brands solicitude for the "joint
civilization" Of the capitalist nations
of Europe, a civilization" respon-
sible for the World War with its
100000 killed in battle and 30,-
100000 in disease, famine and
wounds is a touching prelude to the
preparation of a new war, disguised
as usual as security of peace
against the new civilization rising
on the basis of socialist economy in
the Soviet Union.
The effort of French imperialism
thus to take the leadership in the
anti-Soviet drive from the British
ruled League Of Nations, is artfully
hidden behind proposals to aid the
League in the carrying out of its
decisions, just as the checkmatirg
of American imperialism's ambitions
to lead this drive through the
"peace" maneuver of the Kellogg
Pact is concealed behind assurance
that the BRAND proposals are "not
aimed at the United States" These
are diplomatic boloney no statesman
takes seriously.
However, while the BRAND pro
posals show distinctly how grave is
the danger of imperialist attack
against the Soviet Union, the French
plan to gain hegemony for France
in this attack suffers from the in
herent antagonisms between the i'm
perialist powers, as shown by the
speech of Mussolini, made at Flor.
ence on Saturday. Here, Mussolini
openly voiced a war cry against
France, reported as follows:
"Mussolini shouted a warning TO
France that he intended to build
ship for ship, ton for ton, as many
warships as France built, and he
served notice on all of Fascismo's
enemies that Fascist Italy is ready
for all comers. Fascist Italy, which
is now powerfully armed, can now
propose it's alternative-either our
precious friendship or our danger
GUS hostility"
This is in answer to Frances at
titude at the London disarmament
conference and its recent enormous
naval review in the Mediterranean.
The inability of imperialism to
attain any inner unity as advocated
by the Socialist" super-imperialism
of Kautsky and Hilferding, was
shown in the recent collapse of the
Iron and Steel Cartel, not to men
tion all the rivalries of higher order
such as that shown by Italy, but
French imperialism's position is such
that its ambition for continental
hegemony can be expressed in no
other way, hence the BRAND pro.

and other more important develop

stage.
"The first of these is the tense
situation on the northwest from
tier"
Further dispatches from Pesh-
awar and other northern points tell
Of agitators wearing hammer and
sickle badges circulating among the
hill tribes, who have never been de-
prived of their weapons in spite of
many attempts by British punitive
expeditions, and of their message be-
ing gladly received. The "hammer
and sickle" stories are couched in
the romantic forms which British
stories of Russian influence" al
ways have, and are not to be taken
too literally, but it is beyond doubt
that Communist influence is grow
ing.
The British air force is recklessly
piling up a heritage of hatred here
by bombing villages, killing men,
women and children in a gigantic
terror campaign. Very little news
drifts out, but enough to show that
one plane has been brought down
in Khyber Pass, the road to Afghan
istan, in which country the British
last year financed a counter-revolu-
tionary movement and were de-
feated.
'Perished Among Friends"
The report, as it goes through the
censorship, says: "Both officers of
the aircraft perished after being
tended by friendly tribesmen." But
the same report carries admissions
thct wide scale raids on outlying
British police stations and isolated
garrisons are continuing, and this
alone bears eloquent evidence that
the hill people are not so very
friendly.
A meeting of the "all-parties' con-
ference" in Bombay, to make peace
between the government and its
enemies, has failed flatly. Even the
aggregation of liberals that did as
semble failed to reach any agree
ment except that they did not have
any sufficient forces represented no
matter whether they said anything
or not. Most of even the liberal
groups boycotted the meeting.
