During the last two years alone,
the French air lines have increased
their mileage 100000 miles, the
most notable trail blazed in that
period being the land and sea air
route to and from South America.
The planes fly from Paris down
the west coast of Africa to the
nearest point of land to Brazil,
whence the mails are conveyed by
boat to South America.
1t is hoped that by next year the
mails will be flown the entire dis
lance between Paris and Buenos
Aires. AT present the service saves
more than ten days.
Development of French aviation
in commercial air transportation in
the last two years is indicated in
the table Of Aero ostale Company,
which, however, does not include
Air Union, the French line which
flies hundreds of thousands of
miles yearly on the Paris-London
and other lines radiating from
Paris.
Anyways in both the United
States and South America contrib
uted largely to the total of world
mileage, while Canadian mileage in
four years has grown from 200 to
$3.50 miles.
The longest existing air route is
claimed to be the London to India
section of $500 miles, but this will
be eclipsed when the anticipated
Paris-Buenos Aires service is inau-
Nurated.

The demand for Moses scalp has

It also is understood that certain

ground that he is a political wet,
and always votes against prohibi-

The campaign against Longworth
chiefly involves the insurgents in

Several members have indicated
they might vote for minority leader

Among those who may oppose

Haitian Misleaders Dissatisfied
With Their Judas Bargain With U. s
Resent Refusal of American Imperialsts to
Give Them Greater Share in Loot-Use Threat
of Mass Revolt Against U. S. Oppressors

PORT AU PRINCE, Feb. 9.-There
are growing signs of an increasing
rift in the new accord reached some
months ago between the U. S. imper-
ialists and the Haitian bourgeoisie
for joint exploitation Of the Haitian
masses.
The latest sign that the Haitian
bourgeoisie do not consider that the
U. S. imperialists are making suffi-
cient concessions to the native bour-
geois misleaders as the price for their
betrayal of the national liberation
struggle is seen in the wrath of the
native bourgeois press against r. the

Haitian Government to acknowledge

BRAND BUSHES
WAR AGAINST
SOVIET UNION

A new step has been taken by
BRAND for French capitalism In the
war preparations against the Soviet
Union. At the recent Geneva con-
ference to discuss" the pan-Euro-
pean scheme, the French capitalists
tried to draw Italy and Germany
into the Tightening alliance against
the workers republic. Now an "invi-
tation" is sent to the Soviet Union,
as means of hiding the glazing war
preparations. Even the sending of
the invitation has its peculiar quirk.
It goes to Iceland instead of to the
Soviet Union. BRAND, of course,
knows the correct address of the Sow
let Union.
No action has been taken on this
invitation" but the press in the, Sow
let Union is exposing the whole war
machinery being built up against the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.
Recent editorials in the French
capitalist newspapers show that
France is rushing its war prepare
tions. For instance, the Paris Temps,
the leading expression Of the French
bankers and their government, writes
that "the fate Of Europe will be de-
cided in the next two years" 1t is
during the next two years" when the
Five-Year Plan is scheduled for conn.,
pletion. The Temps says, during this
period, ut is necessary to find means
TO guarantee security during this
transitional period"
Steps towards the type OF guar
antee" the French bosses want is
shown by the Moscow trial Of the
vreckers. Here proof was brought
out Of the definite war preparations
under the direction of the French
General Army Staff. Further proof
OF what guarantee" means is indi-

ARREST SHOE
ORGANIZER IN
PHILADELPHIA
Boss Judge Tries To
Break Strike With
Injunction

80 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 5.--Wfile in
New York City the workers are being
treated to a sham investigation of
corruption and graft in the chambers
of Justice" where (honorable?) mag
iStrates and supreme court judges ply
their trade, in the fine art of-legal
stealing of bank funds, etc, we can
witness another picture in the city
of brotherly love.
In Philadelphia where the cracked
liberty bell hangs, other judges are
handing out capitalist Justice" to
workers by throwing them into Jail
incommunicado--no hearing, no bail
and no definite sentence. Here we
have demonstration of real capt.
talist dictatorship, this time the VIC
tim is the organizer of the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union of
Philadelphia, Constance Lippa, who
has been conducting the eight weeks
strike of shoe workers against wage
reductions and speed-up in the
Finkelstein, Standard and Model shoe
shops.
After six weeks of militant strug-
gle the Model shoe company was
forced to settle with the workers and
withdraw the wage cut proposal and
recognized the shop committee. This
victory of the workers was answered
by the bosses with vicious injunc-
tons, depriving the workers of every
right to protect their jobs and to
break the strike.
Twenty workers were arrested defy
ing the injunction and thrown into
Jail, all were released since excepting
the union organizer, Constance Lippa,
who is claimed to be the Judges"
prisoner. The injunction judge bra
zenly boasts Of how he is going to
handle these radical labor leaders.
All efforts to have Lippa brought
to trial or to have bail set and Lippa
released pending trial have been in
vain. The bosses judge arrogantly
says he is my prisoner and I will
see to it that he does not conduct
any more strikes against wage cuts.
Lippa is not only being held with
out bail or trial but the bosses Judge
is also trying to have Lippa deported
back to Italy into the hands of the
fascist government.
The National Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union affiliated
with the Trade Union Unity League
calls upon all workers to rally to the
support of the fight for the imme-
date release of Lippa and the fight
of the shoe workers against wage
cuts, speed-up and unbearable shop
conditions. Send contributions to the
shoe workers headquarters, 80 North
10th Street, Philadelphia. Pa. Lippa
has a wife and four small children.

government TO follow the Wage-cut-

Against Lower Paid.
In the lowest clerical strata, en-

Board recommends that their wages
be reduced $3.50 year on the pretext
that private industries pay lower
wages. Their present scale is from
$3.50 to 1920 yearly.
The wage cutting recommended
tons are primarily directed against
the mass of lower paid federal en-
ployees and funtionaries.
