an ordinary transaction but a war
preparation and the French imper-
ialists insist that the United States
carry this part of the burden.
The British imperialists realize
that out of the Hoover Laval con-
ferences came the joint determine
ton to relegate the British Empire
to position of secondary import
ance. The counter attack of the
British imperialists is gathering mo-
mentum. Sir Walter Layton, editor
Of The Economist of London, ad-
dressing the American Chamber of
Commerce Saturday in London, made
sharp attack on the PREPARATIONS
section of the Hoover-Laval agree
ment.
The New York Times correspond
ent in Toxic reports the "rumors'
that are being spread about the re-
sistance of Great Britain to the Uni
ted States-Japanese plans for the
redivision of China.
These "rumors'' "allege that Sir
Miles w. Lampso, British Minister
to China, has reached an under
standing with General Chang
whereby Marking will protect Brit
ish commercial interests along the
Yangstse River, while Great Brit
ain will support China in the Man
churia dispute"
The British imperialists realize that
the other inperialists plan to reduce
the British Empire in accordance
with the lessened power of British
imperialism in the world struggle.
The imperialists are preparing the
attack on the Soviet Union while a
redoubling of the peace phrases and
conferences takes place. Thus far
81 countries have accepted the pro-
posal for one year armament build
ing truce proposed by the Council Of
the League of Nations. The only ma
ton which has agreed to this one
years arms truce sincerely is the
oviet Union. The remainder of the
powers are accepting this truce in
order to prepare under cover of it fol-
war. The United Press in a, dispatch
from Geneva states openly that the
peace forms of the League of Nations
and of the Kellogg Pact will be used
by Japan as a preparatory step in
the military attack.
ut was emphasized that If the
danger of oviet Intervention actu-
ally exists. Japna would be obliged
to seek Pacific settlement by APP

Influence OF German Communist
Party on Peasants Growing

BERLIN.-The influence of the
Communist Party on the masses OF
the peasants is steadily growing. A
new proof Of this fact was the con-
gress Of northwest German working
peasants which took place on Sunday
in Kirchweyhe near Bremen, Two
hundred elected peasant delegates
were present. Over 600 spectators
including hundreds of workers we're
in the congress hall. The congress
adopted all its decisions unanimously
and sent telegram Of greetings TO
Comrade Thaelman, the leader of the
German Communist Party.

commanded us to retreat. Very prob
ably he feared that we might observe
the speed-up system that the en-
ployed freemen are subject to.
so Cents Day
A young white worker got a pick
and shovel job on the twenty-first of
this month. He did not hit the speed
limit and got fired the next day at
noon. He received 60 cents for full
days work, as 81 was deducted for
medical examination. This was just
so cents too much to be the sure
enough free labor" the bosses spout
about.
The Missouri Pacific new railway
terminal job pays 10 cents an hour
for husky and heavy laborers. Lest
some scab might think this is an
advertisement, we wish to state that
vacancies are being filled as rapidly
as they appear.
The foregoing are the two big jobs
that are intended to, or supposed to,
alleviate unemployment and poverty
in Little Rock. They are not in any
way exceptional in the treatment of
workers or wages paid.
12ta Cents an Hour
For an example Of good old home
industry just peep in at the Southern
Cotton Oil Company's mill. In the
press room the maximum wages paid
are 121ac an hour. This rate applies
to panshover, form runner, and cake
stripper who are exposed to intense
heat. Less skilled and less heated
workers get eight and one third cents
an hour.
1t is no longer necessary for the
boss to provide for his slaves; labor
is almost free" in Little Rock.

SLUGGERS BULLDOZE SEAMEN

NEW YORK .-The Seamen's
Church Institute in New York main
tains a special squad of police who
carry deadly weapons In their pock-
cts. This squad is used to beat up
and bulldoze the jobless and hungry
sailors who come into the Institute
to get some shelter from the cold.
They have sora of secluded room,
surrounded by other rooms, an inner
room, where they put seamen
through what they call an educating

WINDOW CLEANER KILLED IN

NEW YORK.-A window cleaner
was killed when he fell from the
sixth floor of a building at 35th St.
and Fifth Ave. A worker cleaning
windows in New York or in any big
city is in constant danger as he works
high above the streets. Daily he risks
his life for measly wage while his
boss sits in his office collecting fat
checks for window cleanin."

manded that an open vote be taken
and not secret ballot to railroad
through this maneuver. A rising
vote was then taken, in which every
man in the hall stood up except the
labor takers, and voted down the
wage-cut.
The response OF these workers
against the wage-cut and the en-
thusiasm with which the T.U.U.L.
leaflet was received is proof of how
the workers will organize to resist
this attack. The T.U.UL. will use
this occasion here to build up groups

Along

WASHINGTON, Nov. A delega-
ton of worker ex-servicemen carried
their demands to the white house
when a committee Of ex-Servicemen
on Friday demanded that hey be
allowed to present their demands to
President Hoover. Josslin, one of
Hoovers pack of secretaries, refused
to allow the demands to go diretcly
to the president but said he would
take care of them"
This is the usual buck-passing that
the capitalists have followed in
handling the demands Of the eX-
servicenlen.

be open to any worker who cares to
60 back on the basis of arbitration,
which means wage-cut. Governor
Ely, another agent of the mill owners,
urges the workers to go back to the
mills. He says that while the work
ers are working they (the bosses and
A. F. of L. fakers) will discuss the
problem. This means that the work
ers who will go back, will get a slash
in their pay.

Rumania for the attack on the So
Wet Union has been made under the
direction of the French military staff
together with the chief Of staff of
the United States Army, Douglas
Macarthur, who conferred with the
army chiefs of France, Rumania, and
Jugoslavia.
The further steps that have been
taken by the French imperialists to
prepare the attack on the Soviet
Union are revealed in a special dis
patch to the Soviet Union Army pa
per, RED Army" from Warsaw. The
correspondent to the RED Army
points out that complete change
in the diplomatic relations of Poland
to Germany occurred ten days after
the new Bruening government took
office. This change occurred in the
period between the conference of
Morgan with Laval, bfore Laval left
for the United States, and Lavals
conference with Hoover. The change
occurred at the joint command of
Morgan and Laval.
The change took place through the
visit Of the Polish Vice Minister of
Finance, Colonel Kos, to Paris. The
correspondent Of the Red Army points
out that the miraculous metamor-
phosis" which the Polish official
news papers noted, resulted from the
attempt of Colonel Kos, part of the
inner circle of the Pilsudski govern
ment, to get French credits. The
Polish delegate was ordered by the
French imperialists to prepare for
political agreements with Germany
This is the reason for the changed
attitude of the Polish press.
The speech of Thomas Lamont, Of
j. P. Morgan and Co. urging the Ger
man government to come to some
agreement with the French imperial
lists on the PREPARATIONS question, the
visit of Pilsudski to Rumania, and
the changed attitude of the Polish
diplomats to Germany are all part OF
| the preparations for the military at
tack on the Soviet Union in which
Germany will be most important
military factor.
The proposals for the sale of wheat
by the Farm Board TO France is part
of the economic preparations for the
attack on the Soviet Union. Parker
Willis, writing in the New York
World Telegram, points out that the
sale Of wheat by the United State;
to France on credit means thai
France will not buy from Australia
or Canada, the sources of wheat ir
the British empire. The decision tt
buy wheat in the United States Ii
part of the attack on the British
empire by France and the United
States. 1t is. moreover, part of the
economic preparations for the attack
on the Soviet Union. Willis refers tc
this when he asks why the United
States should grant credit TO France
for such a transaction when France
has no need of credit facilities at the
present time.
'Ts there something about the
paper that Is to come out of these
last named transactions that makes
the Bank OF France prefer that
our reserve system carry it?'
