USE CARE IN HANDLING
AND SKINNING RABBITS
First of Seasons Cases of lula
remia is Reported in State

Within a week after the opening
of the hunting season, the first of this
seasons cases Of tularemia-rabbi5
fever, as it is usually called-was re-
ported to the Bureau of Communicable
Diseases of the State Department of
Health. A bulletin on rabbit fever, is
sued by the State Department of
Health, shows that the diseass is usu-
ally contracted either in handling or
skinning infected rabbits, or through
the bite of disease-infected ticks and
other insects. In addition to the wild
rabbits, other animals that are sus-
ceptible to it include hares, squirrels,
chipmunks, opossum and wood chuck.
In some sections of the country it
has also been found in some species
of game birds.
The disease is spread from animal
to animal by the bite of infected in
sects, especially the rabbit tick and
the wood tick.
The presence of the disease in ami
mails that are being skinned or eX-
posed for sale may be detected by a
characteristic speckled appearance Of
the liver and spleen, which are dotted
with white or yellowish spots ranging
in size from pin point to others
much more noticeable. In human be-
ings the infection may be picked up
through a scratch or break in the
skin. 1t may also be contracted by
rubbing the face or eyes with the
hands after they have touched in
fected material The use of rubber
gloves by persons IN skinning rabbits
or preparing them for the table is
accordingly advised.
The diseass is usually accompanied
by a typhoid-like fever of two or
three weeks duration, accompanied
by great prostration, with long, slow
convalescence. The attack often starts
with a severe chill and with other
symptoms similar to grippe. In many
cases an ulcer develops at the site
of the infection with marked en-
largement of the glands that drain the
ulcer. The diagnosis may be con-
firmed by blood test and should sus-
pected cases occur in the counties of
Maryland the laboratory of the State
Department of Health is prepared to
make the necessary tests and will do
so at the request of the family ply
sicnan or Health Officer.
Tularemia was made reportable in
Maryland three years ago. Eleven
cases were reported in the State in
1928 and % in 1929. Of those report
ed in 1928, 6 occurred in the counties
and 5 in Baltimore City. Of those
reported last year, Is occurred in the
cot les and 10 in Baltimore City.
Iularemia occurs principally among
w. rabbits. 1t has not been found in
rabbits raised in rabbitries. Thor
ough cooking of the meat destroys the
germ. Thoroughly cooked rabbit is
accordingly harmless.

obligations. 1t is primary task of
the YCI. and all its sections, that
they wage tireless struggle against
militarism and develop energetic
anti-militarist activity among the
masses of the toiling youth both in
side and outside the army. =. -.
But in many respects the YCI. and
especially the American section has
only begun to fulfill this basic task.
In almost every country the YCL's
are still very weak in relation to
the demands and possibilities of the
present situation. In almost every
country the YCL's are faced with
the necessity of greatly intensifying
their activity if they are to keep up
with the growing struggles of the
young workers and play their part
in the winning of the majority of
the working class,
The Communist Parties must play
their part in the strengthening OF
the Communist Yout Movement.
The Communist Parties which lead
the YCL's must help transform the
Leagues into real Bolshevik mass
organizations such as will be able to
fill that tremendous role demanded
in this situation when the struggle
between the bosses and the revolu-
tionary workers for the working
youth is so greatly sharpened, when
young workers are in such great de-
mand by the bosses: as low-paid
workers and soldiers, and by the
working class; as among the most
militant fighters against imperialist
war and capitalist exploitation.
The Communist Party of the
United States must give real leader
ship to the Young Communist
League-USA which has such i'm
portant task to perform in these
coming struggles--just as real lead
ership is being given by the CT and
CPS to the YCI and YCL's in the
other countries.
In the United States, the YCL,
with the Communist Party, must i'm
mediately bucle down to the follow
ing basic anti-militarists tasks
which must be fulfilled in the short
est possible time together with its
class-brothers in the other countries

eyesight as the struggle between
the imperialists breaks through
their very pacifist talks. Even in
their publicity for this conference,
in the talks between Hoover and
MacDonald-the imperialists show
that they can only "talk" about 1u-
ture arms Limitations" even
arms reductions, but about ratios
within which they can continue
their struggle for arms supremacy
etc., while all their talk about peace
cannot hide their common hatred
and sharpened struggle against the
U. S. S. r.
The imperiolistS are preparing
for this 1VGr, not only aOith paci-

stripes to directly and Indirectly

organizations.
Militarism tries to shackle itself
upon the youth from their earliest
age: in the schools, through such
organizations as the boy scouts, etc.,
in whole series of bosses organiza-
tions; company sport clubs, rifle
clubs, military reserve organizations
such as the G. M. T. c., N. G., etc.
in fact, in all those mass organiza-
tions of the capitalist class in which
more than so per cent. of the work
ing youth are organized throughout
the world, and an even greater per-
centage in the United States.
But, against all of these war
preparations, against this mill
tarization of the toiling youth,
there is another force rising,
force which is becoming ever
stronger with the growing strug-
giles of the young workers, against
the attacks on their conditions
which are such a vital part of the
war preparations. This force is
the revolutionary youth movement
under the leadership of the
YOUNG COMMUNIST INTER
! NATIONAL.

in the colonies and semi-colonies.
Thus the crisis in the U. S.
is already sharpening the general
crisis of world capitalism. The
fundamental antagonisms between
the U. S. and Europe, especially
between the two chief imperialist
rivals, the United States and Great
Britain, are greatly accumulated.
A sharpened fight by the i'm
perialists for the colonies and eco
nomically weak countries is the out
growth with all that these new
attacks viii call forth in the form
of sharpened revolutionary strug-
gle by the colonial masses. Thus
the tremendous growth of the con-
tradictions between the capitalist
world and the socialist soviet re-
publics, contradictions which in no
way diminish with the sharpened
struggle between two bosses them
selves-any more than competition

our analysis of the evitability of
imperialist war into a position of
opposing peace. Nothing can be
more vile than this legerdermain.
The Soviet Union today is the only
nation in the world that has really
fought for peace. The Communists
fight for peace, but we declare that
peace under capitalism is an illu-
sion. 1t is a dangerous illusion be-
cause peace is the slogan thru which
the bourgeoisie mobilizes the work
ers in support of imperialist war.
Thus the last war was "War to end
all wars" The recent efforts to
provoke a direct war of the big
imperialist powers against the Soviet
Union was done under the slogan
of "no violation of the peace pact"
All the present war preparations,
jokeying for allies, maneuvoring for
the most favorable time to start the
war, cruiser construction, ETC., etc.
are being accomplished under the
pacifist slogans of "outlawing war"
and disarmament" The last re-
serve of imperialism, their agents
in the labor movement, the social
fascists and their new converts the
right wing and Cleft orportunists
are effective agents of the i'm
perialist war preparations are the
best spreaders of pacifist illusions
and anti-soviet propaganda.
Particularly in these preliminary
war preparations one can see the
two-fold character of the Wall
Street policy. Firstly, the effort to
perfect the bloc against the Soviet
Union (Stimson's note, etc.,. Sec
ondly, prepare the war against Bri-
tain-in the East, the Near East
and Latin America.
But things will not work smooth
ly for the exploiters. The existance
of a mighty Communist Interna-
tional in the next imperialist world
war in place of collapsing social
chauvinist Second International is
a mighty guarantee for the struggle
against imperialist war. Millions of
toilers will learn the lesson taught
us by Lenini SHOWN with war;
does not mean to fling the bayonet
away. 1t means the passing of pow
er to another class"

time at the Washington naval dis

campaign for naval construction
was strated of an unprecedented ma
ture. with the capital ships fixed
by treaty." says French, navy
propagandists in Great Britain, the
United States and Japan in1medi-
ately turned their attention to a
campaign for construction of ships
of the cruiser type"
Since the 1922 conference the U.
S. has built cruisers, Great Britain
Is, Japan 8, and France S. Of
course, 1929 figures, which include
the is cruiser program of Hoover,
even now built in private yards,
must not be included by bourgeois
gentlemen in such a list.
1t may paint too black picture
for the latest London disarmament
farce. But facts are facts and what
the bourgeoisie will not admit in
periodicals read by the working
masses they will sometimes admit
among themselves. Thus Mr.. French
is forced to conclude: "the bald and
unpleasant fact remains that naval
rivalry is going forward between
these two great English speaking
nations, and a navy building war, is
on between them.o
The naval rivalry is reflexion
of the economic rivalry between
Britain and the U. S. for the con-
troll of markets, colonies, sources
of raw material, etc. "Marxists
regard war as a continuation of
politics conducted by certain gov
ernments representing certain
classes" said Lenin. The U. S.
government, representing the cap
italist class, in their bloody greed
for more profits are preparing
war. The crisis forces the govern
ment of the U. S. capitalists to
hasten the war preparations. This
is the sum total of American
politics today.

means a war for new redivisiOn
of the world amongst the imperia-
list robbers.
Or to put it in the language of
Wilbur, former Secretary of the
Navy:
Our merchants and manufacturers
must be able to keep their hold on
the foreign markets on which they
have firmly established themselves,
and as a normal situation developes
again in Europe we must seek new
markets for our production. The
display of the national flag stimu-
lates considerably the struggle of
our business men for new outlets,
and the success of this struggle
greatly depends on the prestige
which modern cruisers create for
the state" (Speech of Jan. II, 1928.
Our emphasis).
Thus the race for ornaments has
kept pace with the race for mar
kets. Burton L. French, chairman
of the House Navy Appropriation
subcommittee, declares in an article
in Current History (Jan. 1890:
During the fiscal gear 1Uhich
ended on June so, 1929, the United
States spent upon her Macy, $974,-
60S,054, orsTlore than three times
az much as Germany spent an 1914.
Great Britain, IN her last fiscal

The disarmament sham, the So
called struggle for peace, which, in
each case, marks an important step
in the war preparations of imper-
ialism is unconsciously exposed by
this same Mr.. French. After 'peace"

between two bosses lessons their

the working class.
All this means war, immediate
war! War against the only coun-
try of the workers, the Soviet
Union. World war between the
imperialist power in which the two
most powerful inperialist gangs,
Great Britain and the United
States, will struggle for first
place as chief robber of the worlds
workers. Wars against the OPP
pressed masses in the colonies
which already show themselves in
one for NOR another, in Haiti, in
Palestine, in South Africa, etc.
How are the imperialist powers
preparing for this war which con-
fronts the world today as a living
reality?
First of all, by throwing smoke
screen over all their war prepara-
lions and over all those powder
in the form of interna-
tional antagonisms, which, with
only the slightest jar, will flare up
into the next world war.
The Naval Conference in London
plays on important part in the lay
ing of this smoke screen, as did the
visit of Macdonald to Hoover.
1t is just when war is nearest
that such conference becomes most
necessary as a means of hiding the
otherwise open signs of war. Re-
member the conference at the
Hague before the world war of
1914.

tai economic traits, distinguished by
least attachment to peace and free
dom, and by the greatest develop
ment s militarism everywhere.
One of the chief features of the
period we live in is war. Since the
last world war, the Communists
have ben pointing to the war
danger as the most acute danger
facing the exploited masses of the
world. Only the most servile tools
of the imperialists, the pacifist
phrase-mongers of the petty bour-
geois and social-facist stripe will
try to hide this danger from toiling
masses.
Since 1918 there have been a
whole series of smaller and larger
war collisions, from the struggle
Of Germany and Poland for Upper
Silesia, to the last imperialist at
tack of the Chinese war lords,
backed by world imperialism,
against the Soviet Union.
We have pointed out the basis
Of this war danger. Capitalism is
in world crisis and the sharp and
ever deepening economic crisis in
the U. S. at present, will in turn
sharpen the world crisis. The So
called solution to the crisis-the
establishment of an equilibrium
between production and consump-
ton, means new markets for U.
S. Imperialism. But markets are
not hanging around loose, they
are already possessed by this or
that country. Thus new markets
means a struggle for markets-it
