ing along seth st. past cop. Some
workers near by jeered at the police
man, probably recognizing him as a
slugger in demonstrations or on the
picket line, or just expressing their
feelings about the capitalism that
clubs jobless andexploits workers.
The cop pounced on Levy, who had
said nothing, beat him up severely,
Communicated a cab and took him
to the station, had him arrested and
charged with disorderly conduct.
Before Magistrate Gottlieb the cop
falsely sWore that Levy made i'm

to think this last was a high crime
and demanded proof But the wit

Peace Talk Is Cover for War Preparations,

Demand War Funds Go to UNEMPLOYED

NEW YORK.-All talk about peace
treaties, Kellogg pacts, naval treaties
limiting ornaments was effectively
smashed in Geneva at the latest ses-
sion of the Preparatory Disarmament
Commission by the exposure of the
fact that the imperialist powers re-
fuse to reveal the rapid increase in
their armed strength.
This shows that the growth of arm
aments has proceeded at such a
frightful pace that the imperialist
powers refuse to permit the working
class to know the extent of the bill
lions being spent for war.
Clarence K. STREET, special cores
pondent of the New York Times in

Nov. 23) is forced to admit that the
peace talk is but the smoke screen
to cover up war preparations.
How great is the gap between

This the imperialists refuse to do.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Proof
that secretary of agriculture Hyde
was not indulging in propaganda
alone against the Soviet Union when
he uttered his vicious attack last
week, but was laying the basis for
actual war, is contained in the fur
Their war provoking action taken
under the direction of Hoover ana
Mellon through the treasury depart
ment.
A virtual ban on all Soviet imports
into the United States will be put
into effect.
Under a series of new regulations,
soon to be published by the treasury
department, any objection made to
shipments from the Soviet Union
would automatically bar the iinpor-
tation of the goods effected. In
orde~ to comply with the objections,
the Soviet Union would have to fur
nish a consular invoice descriptive
OF the goods" and since there is no
diplomatic relations between the
Soviet Union and the United States,
this would be impossible,
Hence, the latest order, when it
goes into action will stop all Soviet
imports In this way the American
capitalists hope to injure the rapid
advance of the Five-Year Plan and
rush war against the Soviet Union.
Unofficial sources in the treasury
department say that this action is
taken in harmony with "other
European nations" that have taken
the same steps. This refers to coun-
tries like France, etc, which are in
volved in the huge war plot against
the Soviet Union. The latest action
of the American imperialists is to
bolster up the war preparations.
That this action barring Soviet
imports will be followed by other
war measures is beyond doubt. The
American bosses will not stop mid
way. This drastic step will be fol-
lowed by others, all leading directly
to 81 attack against the workers re-
public.
Every worker must be aroused to
