the case of manganese, wood pulp
etc. At present the Treasury De-
partment is holding up a shipment
of pulpwood from the Soviet Union
under the same hypocritical charge.
The U. P. report further states that
even before the complete embargo of
goods from the Soviet Union is put
into effect, there will be an embargo
on Soviet Oil. This embargo on Sow
let Oil is the preliminary step to
put across the complete embargo next
January /.
In order to keep the actual war
preparations as much as possible out
Of the newspapers, the Navy Depart
ment last week ordered complete Sc
crecy on all war information by all
navy officers. This is in line with
the governments efforts to fool the
workers as TO its secret plans for an
attack against the workers Soviet
Republic while at the same time
justifying its huge expenditures for
ornaments, The government desires
secrecy at this stage as to its real
purposes in order better to be able
to put over and hide the purpose of
its deportation and working
class laws as we'll as to keep the
workers from demanding the war
funds to relieve the terrific unem-
ployment burden by means of unem-
ployment insurance.
The capitalist press is becoming
more open as to the nearness of war,
particularly in connection with the
Hoover PREPARATIONS moratorium
scheme. A New York Times" cor
respondent in Geneva, commenting
on June Is on the Importance Of the
settlement of the reparations ques-
ton at once compares the present
situation in Europe with that in
July, 1914, after the assassination at
Saravejo which was the first step in
the declaration of war in the follow
ing August. The capitalist press adj
mits that the war is as close as in
July, 1914. The Wall st. govern
ment is completing the preparations
for the attack on the Soviet Union
and the most important barrier in
its way as far as the united capitalist
front is concerned is the antagon-
isms among the iinperiaHsts them
selves. The U. S. is trying to force
the united capitalist front under its
own leadership and is taking its own
steps in the attack by the embargo
on products from the Soviet Union.
At Philadelphia navy yard Saturday
the keel was laid for the cruiser
Minneapolis which is the fifteenth
to be built under the terms of the
London Naval Treaty. The capt.
talist class is trying to fool the
American working class as to the
war preparations by broadcasting the
fact that 1900 men will be employed
in the construction of this cruiser.
They are trying to fool the ten mil
lion unemployed into believing that
the solution for the unemployment
of ten millions is the construction of
battleships.
On August the working class will
demonstrate that it knows the rea-
sons for the war preparations and
that it will fight against the inper- |
falist war and for the defense of the
Soviet Union The working class
will raise mighty storm of protest
against the construction of arrna-
ments and will demand that all
funds for ornaments be given to the
unemployed for unemployment re-
lief. The workers know that the
Of cruisers will not
mean even the slightest relief for the
starving millions but that the con-
'truction of additional cruisers and
,ther ornaments is part of the
possess attack on the Soviet Union,
he workers fatherland.
