3-P0WER TREATY.
Leaves Widest Room
for Big Arms Race

LONDON, April 16.-Even the
three power "treaty" with its roomy
loopholes for the widest armament
race, is meeting with difficulty Of
formulation. First the japanese
delegation accepted the wording of
the draft treaty" then they dis
carded it, and the latest report is
that a treaty so unsatisfactory to
each of the big navy nations has
been drawn up that the imperialist
bandits will be able to sign it by
Thursday.
The chief feature of the treaty
is the so-called moving platform, y
which permits any of the signers
to increase its naval force to any
extent if it in the least desires to
do so.
The main difficulty in the three
power treaty is that the imperialist
representative find it hard to hide
the complete failure of the London
Five Power conference and the ire
mendous increase in ornaments, in
no way limited by any treaty, thai
has resulted.

Admit Right of Armed
Revolution, But Not
A gainst Capitalism

American imperialism "w S
shaken to it's foundations yester-
day" when Henry H. Curran, presi-
dent of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, told the
senate lobby investigating commit
tee that the people of the United
States have as much right to make
an armed revolution today-against
the Eighteenth Amendment!-as
they did way back in 1776. The
"wets," he said, had a perfect right
to use armed force to back up their
views.
There is no doubt that the hon.
orable Mr.. Curran will not be ar
rested and tried for criminal syn
dicalism and sedition. This is re-
served only for the working class
fighters who call upon the workers
to fight against the entire system
Of capitalist exploitation and wage
slavery.
