WASHINGTON, July IS. - Hoo
yer, the head Of the government of
hunger and war preparations, is
linking up the republican leaders to
force through an approval of not
only the so-called naval treaty"
but the secret agreements which go
along with it, chief of which is the
imperialist pact made at London to
make war on the Soviet Union.
Having told the Senate that the
secret documents contain nothing"
and that it is none of the business
of the masses who suffer from war
what secret agreements the govern
ment makes to get them into war
and therefore it is incompatible"
with imperialist interests to yield
up the documents, as he would be
"betraying trust" of secret imper-
ialist diplomacy, Hoover has new
job to make ratification of the treaty
an approval of the secret agree
ments outside the treaty.
The resolution of Senator Norris,
whose desire for catching eopular
support by a demagogic role as a
tribune of the people" has led to
an alliance of himself and other
takers of the so-called farm bloc
with the equally fake Opposition"
of the Bigger Navy" crowd, will
in the end aid Hoover to delude the
masses that there are no secret
agreements.
The resolution stipulates that in
ratifying the treaty, it is explicitly
and distinctly" understood that there
are no "secret files, document, let
tiers, understandings or agreements
which in any way, directly or in
directly, modify or change the
treaty, and that there is no agree
ment, expressed or implied except
such as it to be found in the treaty
itself"
The Hoover forces do not deny that
such secret agreements exist but are
working on the asis that the resolu-
ton must be killed because it is IAN
affront to the president"
The Bigger Navy" senator's say
they are not satisfied with the ST.
000,000,000 worth of more warships
Hoover's policy carries with it in
ratification of the so-called "dis-
armament" treaty, and say that the
secret agreement they are cncerned
over is the understanding with
Japan allowing Japan to build still
more cruisers in certain cases.
Norris and the other so-called
farm bloc" takers, joining with
these "Still Bigger Navy" senator's
led by johnson, are aiding the hypo-
crisy of the whole fake flight
which allows Hoover to put over
a monstrous warship building pro-
gram in the name of "a step toward
peace and disarmament" and to de-
mand and get approval of the secret
agreements, the principal one of
which is for war against the Soviet
Union.
While 100000 workers and their
families in the United States are
jobless and starving, the proposal
for spending $1,0O0,OO0,OOO to build
warships, would be difficult to put
over if it were not for this fake
Opposition" demanding still more
warships. BY attacking this "oppo
sition," most of which has been ar
ranged for the purpose, Hoover gets
the support of all the half-wittec
liberals and "pacifists" for the big
gest war preparations plan ever
adopted.
Secretary Stimson is maxim thu
most of this, by sending out prop
uganda intending to show that thu
opposition" here is contradictinf
the Tory Opposition" of the British
Actually, Winston Churchill in tn
House of Commons gave essential!
the correct analysis of the fake "dis
armament treaty for stereotypini
naval ornaments at very higl
level to the special detriment o
Great Britain"
Britain is adversely affected, it i
true, because she cannot help her
self, but both British and American
workers, suffering increasing unem
ployment and starvation have moth
ing in common with the Opposition
either in England or the U. S. A.
but they both have the same interes
in defending the Soviet Union iron
imperialist attack. and on August
will rally at the call of the Commu
mist Party to protest against imper
ialist war, the American workers de
