Navy Meet Shows Rapid War Moves

British imperialism.
Discussion on the security" or

screen to hide the failure of the CAPT
talist robbers at London to come to
any sort of an agreement on their
war naval building programs. AT
the same time, it is a direct threat
against the Soviet Union.
WASHINGTON, March So A
very ambiguous statement has been
issued by Hoover, declaring there is
no difference between him and the
London delegation. Hoover's state
ment completely does away with his
original bunk about disarmament"
and the "high purposes of the London
meet" Every day it becomes clear
er that the, war danger is sharp
ening, that the imperialist powers
are rushing their war building pro-
grams, and are maneuvering for al
liances for the next world war.

John Porter, a young worker, left
the U. S. army when he found out
that it was a machine to be used by
the bosses to break strikes. Instead
of facing the strikers with guns, he
went on the picket line in the New
Bedford strike and faced the bosses
shoulder to shoulder with the rest
of the strikers. The government had
not made any special effort to ar
rest Porter until it found him TAX
ing part in the class struggle. Then
it railroaded him to prison in a
hurry, where he was abused, and
mistreated.
