Breech- ClOut
Fundamentalisn

Bombay dispatch by wireless to the N Y.
Times of July 10 conveys to us the latest in-
formation concerning the all-absorbing question
of Mahatma Gandhi's breech-clout, grave
question of something more than etiquette as
we gather from the following expressions Of
Gandhi:
my lioncIoth is an organic evolution In my
life. 1t came naturally, without effort and
without generalization. My duty, as 1 con-
ceive it, if succeed in reaching London, win
be to add nothing to my lioncloth than
the climate demands If / am to win the
hearts of the English, want to, I can do
SO only by being 100 per cent truthful. Truth
is like the sun, and it will melt the Icy noun
tains of suspicion and distrust."
Which is, If we may say So a lot Of faith to
put in breech-clout, especially if the safety
pins are not trustworthy.
No doubt but that Gandhi will win the heart"
of Ramsay Macdonald, whose social-imperialist
soul will certainly go out when he watches the
respiratory heaving of Gandhi's enhancing
navel That, dear reader, surely will win IN
dian independence

Dumbness Or Destruction

The prairie Farmer of June 81, under 4
headline I'VE Might Destroy the Surplus" runs
an editorial remarking upon the destruction OF
coffee in Brazil. 1t goes on to reveal some
thing that most of you workers don't know, that
the Farm Board organizations have already
been destroying farm produce:
Last year California cooperative affill.
ated with the Farm Board paid its members
for allowing half the crop to rot on the trees,
in order that the rest might be sold for q
profit"
The editorial then quotes another farm
paper, "Wallaces Farmer" as saying
"A certain amount of widespread, deliberate
destruction might have a purging effect on
our economic system. Why not get ready to
consider deliberate destruction of One-third
of all of our food in an effort to get people
ready for cooperative planned thinking to
avoid such foolishness. Personally, think
little destruction of this sort would be prefer
able to the plain 'dumbness which now seems
to characterize economic leadership"
Now dear reader, these farm paper editors
are not RED destroyers," not Bolsheviks who
are supposed to just love to destroy things"
They are capitalists who advocate that food

Plots IN
The Far East

Workers fighting, the war danger and demon
strating on August First must realize that the
Soviet Union has already been attacked by the
armed mercenaries of imperialism. Not only in
the days OF the intervention Immediately after
the Russian Revolution, but only two years ago,
on the Eastern Soviet borders, the armies af cap
italism moved for a brief period against the Red
Army.
They were quickly hurled back But the threat
against the Soviet Union in the same quarter
is still there says Henry Hall, the author of
War in the Far East, the only pamphlet in Eng
fish which tells the story of the Manchurian lin
cident" in 1929 when the Chinese war lords
seized the Chinese Eastern Railroad. reading
of this pamphlet, prepared under the auspices of
Labor Research Association, will convince any
worker that United States capitalists interest
in the naturalization" of this road and their
conspiratorial activities with the Chinese butch
ers in 1929, holds real dangers for the future.
While these intrigues were in process in the
summer of 1929, Chinese and White Guards de-
tachments crossed the Soviet border and raided
Russian villages. The Chinese authorities in
Hardin arrested thousands of Soviet citizens"
writes Hall. Then the Red Army of workers and
peasants effectively repulsed the Chinese forces
and quickly brought the mperialist agents to
their knees ready to negotiate.
The whole story is told in detail by Hall in
GLIDING the part played by Stimson, u S. Secre-
tary of State. Those who want to read brief
account of how imperialist diplomacy worked in

Strikebreaking Against Negro Miners
The NAACP Convention has been made
major activity of the capitalist class in this
District, particularly because of the strike of the
coal miners, thousands of whom are Negroes
and the unrest among the steel workers of the
District.
The NAACP branches held meetings in the
coal fields, where they tried to influence the
Negro miners to support Pinchot who has been
engaged, together with the coal operators and
the UMWA in trying to break the strike.
The NAACP Convention has been made the
most of by the BOSSES in the attempt to draw
the $4,000 Negroes in this city away from the
growing influence of the Communist Party and
to fool them into believing that they can achieve
something by beggi--g for it instead of by fight
ing. The Convention had as its main purpose,
the drawing of the Negro masses away from a
struggle for the rights of the Negro for struggle
against the boss-class, for struggle on behalf of
their working-cass yerests.
Leaflets were issued to the workers of Pitts
burgh, and to the delegates of the Convention,
street meetings were held near the Convention
meeting place, to expose to the workers of Pitts

PISTOL FOUND IN R00II
Woman Washed Clothing of
Murderer, Belief of
Investigators.

bv JHited Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. IA
Miss Katherine Keller, Is, heireSs
niece of the late Judge Darwin 2.
Curtis, early today was arrested and
held for investigation in connection
with the four torch murders near
YpSilanti Tuesday morning.
Miss Keller is said to have been
the sweetheart of Fred Smith, one
of three men sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for the murders of the
four Sabotage youngsters.
The arrest was made by Lieuten-
ant Neil R. Black of the Michigan
state police. Black said Miss Keller
admitted she washed the blood
stained clothing of Smith. He found
bloody newspapers and a 3d. aliber
pistol in her home, he said.
The pistol had been fired re-
Gently, officers said, adding that
the young woman produced it read
lily enough from a dresser drawer
and denied it had been used in the
holdupS.
Believed Death Gun
He believed the pistol one of the
weapons used in killing Vivian
Gold, Anna May Harrison, both Of
Cleveland. and Harry Lore, Ypsi-
lanti, and Thomas Wheatley, Of
Denton, Mich.
1t was Smiths confession, Black
said, that involved Miss Keller.
Smith asserted the woman was with
him when the two white men,
Smith and Frank Oliver, and David
Blackstone, Negro, when they held
up the four youngsters Tuesday
night.
Miss Keller at first denied Smiths
story, but later is said to have adj
mitted the charge. She is being
held for further examination today.
Miss Keller was taken into the
home of Judge Curtis when she was
an infant, and is said to have re-
celved $4,000 from his estate.
Met Him During Reform
Her association with Smith. il
was said, came through the iurists'
sponsorship of the young man in
O%ASA W w AASAP nm ICIldDlilIdCG
himself when he was paroled for a
juvenile eScapade.
In preliminary questioning. au-
thoritieS gained admission from her
that she had been with the slayer
early in the evening. Their efforts
when the inquisition is resumed
today was to center upon learning
how she came in possession of the
pistol and the clothing, and to es-
tabliSh definitely whether Smiths
implication of Miss Keller had been
largely an effort to cloak his move
ments on the fatal night with the
seeming of responsibility.
Admits Being With Two
Smith made his statement to
Deputy Sheriff Clarence SNYDER.
Snyder said Smith reported the
young woman had been with the
three killers when they held up and
beat the four youngsters, but she
had left the party on the drive
through Ypsilanti to futile Hill
road.
Miss Keller told Snyder, he said,
that she had been riding with
Smith, Oliver and Blackstone Mon
day night, but that she left them
at $50 o'clock and heard nothing

1,067-M Mile Siberian Jump
From Nome Is One BeSet
With Hazards.

NOME, Alaska, Aug 14.-Facing
one of the most dangerous of their
7,000-mile vacation trip from Wash
ington to the Orient, Colonel and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh awaited
better weather today before soaring
away on an oversee flight to Ka-
raginsk. Siberia.
Already delayed here for almost
three days, the flying colonel and
his heiress wife we're eager to be
on the wing again and said if
weather conditions were favorable
they would leave today.
1t also was revealed today that
they are considering extending their
arerial vacation trip around the
world.
Lindbergh indicated he was plan
ming to go to China from Toxic,
then across India to Europe, resting
there awhile before returning over
the Atlantic to America by way Of
the Azores.
The black and yellow monoplane
which carried them safely across the
wastes of northern Canada and to
the rim of the Arctic ice cap, rode
the glistening waters of Safety bay,
twenty-one miles east of here. Its
tanks we're filled with more than
400 gallons of gasoline.
Inspects Every Part
With his customary thoroughness,
Lindbergh personally tested every
strut and bolt on the winged
monoplane. Expert mechanics pre-
viously had gone over it, but the
colonel wanted to make sure every
thing was all right. He pronounced
it in perfect condition.
While Lindbergh climbed over the
ship. into its cockpits. and looked
over the motor carefully, men from
the Nome coast guard station
grouped about. They had been TAX
ing turns standing constant guard
over the plane since the Lindberghs
landed in Safety bay.
The route which the f1iers planned
to follow from here is across Boring
sea, over the tip of st. Lawrence is
land. and thence across a wide ex-
panse of water to the east coast OF
Siberia. The distance is approx
mately 1,067 miles. 1t is an especial
ly dangerous trip, because storms
frequently spring up suddenly there.
Boosts Air Lines
After coming here Tuesday from
Point Barrow, the Lindberghs we're
entertained by business men of
Nome and by the native Eskimos.
Dances and kyak races were fea-
lures of the program.
Lindbergh made several informal
addresses, urging that residents of
the north1and work for establish
ment of regular airlines. He said
Nome was a logical stopping place
for future airways between America
and the Orient, and predicted it
would not be long until the Arctic
would have speedy, scheduled con-
nectionS with the rest of the world.
