militancy will affect all Of the other
categories Of state employees.
There is still apprehension that
the men of the land, air and police
forces and the great army of school
teachers will take similar measures to
show their resentment against the
wage reductions undertaken by the
government for all these groups.
ALREADY tremendous propaganda
is working in behalf of the teachers
to make the government revise the
school cuts"
The government has promised to
Investigate" the complaints of the
sailors and the entire capitalist press
is playing this up as major VIC
tory Of the sailors. This has been a
victory for the sailors but the rea-
son the government is playing it up
is to prevent them from gaining a
real victory-the adjustment of the
wage cuts of the Macdonald hunger
budget. The capitalists want the
sailors to be satisfied with having
gained an Investigation" The sail
ors, though. demand not an "investi-
cation" but the wiping out of these
attacks on their living standards.
The real plans of the government
led by the socialist, Macdonald, ara
revealed in the statement made by
Macdonald to the House Of Com
mons Wednesday. The Times states,
Premier Macdonald told the
House of Commons he thought ad-
justments could be made without
materially decreasing the net
amount of navy economy"
Macdonald plans to make lad
justmsnts" without providing any in
creased funds for the sailors. The
adjustment" will be so miserable
that there will not be any benefits
for the sailors from them. MscDon-
aid is determined to go through with
the pay cuts for the sailors.
The planned character of the &C
ton of the sailors is even more clear
Iy revealed from the most recent sto-
ries of the actual events The re-
fusal Of the sailors to go out to sea
for the maneuvers was determined
at a meeting on shore on Sunday
where a strike vote was taken. On
Monday this vote was confirmed by
another meeting on shore. The ste
ceeding events according to the New
York Times account were as follows:
Tuesday morning was the zero
hour. The commander chief sig
nailed to the battleship Valiant,
whose crew had taken the initiative
in the strike to lead the line to sea
The 1900 men of the fleet stood
waiting anxiously. Men from other
ships declared afterward that had
the Valient got under way the rest
would have followed. Bat the men
Of the Valiant remained below
decks and refused to obey the Of
ficers.
Gan anxious council was held on
the quarterback. The officers were
fully aware that the eyes of the
fleet we're upon the Valiant. They
decided to try to raise the anchor
themselves. The pickets did not try
to stop them; they simply warned
that as soon as they raised one an
Choir the men would drop the other.
THE Valient remained at anchor.
Soon the sailors came from below
decks and crowded forward. The
cheer they raised was taken up on
the other ships and the strike was
on"
At Invergord the report states
sounds Of cheering continued to be
heard on shore from the vessels.

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., Sept. 17-An
editorial in Pravda comments on the
statement of Secretary of Commerce
Lamont to the Tass Telegraph
Agency of the Soviet Union) CORE
spondent, in which Lamont said that
the article in the United, States Daily
by the official, Pass, of the Com
merce Department was "the personal
opinion of the author only" This
official has written against the
granting of credits to the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics for goods
purchased in America.
Pravda says: Despite the ex-
istence in the United States of in
dustrial groups interested in trade
with the U.S.S.R., the ruling circles
in America increasingly conduct a
policy Of disruption of trade between
the Soviet Union and the United
States. The adoption of law grant
ing the customs officials of the
United States the right to impose
merely by administrative order an
embargo on imports from the U. S.
s. R. is sufficient proof of this.
1.-THE recent trip of Secretary of
State Stimson and Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon into Europe has
caused greatly enlivened activities
by all anti-Soviet groups.
Under such circumstances one
must recognize that If the official.
Pass, does not reflect what the
United States government says, he
at least reflects what it does, in
connection with trade between the
Soviet Union and America.
Facts are facts. All possible and
impossible obstacles are being put by
the United States against Soviet i'm
ports. Soviet exports to the United
States are but one-third Of the ex-
ports from America to the U.S.S.R.
and are speedily decreasing. This
can not but result in correspond
ing reduction of American exports
to the US.S.R." q

example of disobedience to other
services, civil and military"
The opposition is determined to
make the sailors feel the terror OF
the capitalist class so that the capt.
talist class will be able to use the
navy in its war plans-in the attack
on the Soviet Union.
In order to prevent the upsurge of
the sailors from sharpening and TAX
ing on forms of united action the
ships have been ordered back to their
home ports where they can be iso-
lated to a greater extent than when
they are united for maneuvers. Even
though the sailors were ordered back
to the home ports instead of on to
the maneuvers, which was a victory
for them, they refused to go until
they received written promise on
the part of the chief
that they would not be diverted from
the return home. The Times reports
this in the following:
"a message from Invergordon re-
veals the men still believe them
selves to be in command of the
situation. 1t was said their leaders
refused to allow the ships to weigh
anchor tonight until they received
guarantee from the commander
in chief that they would not be
diverted during the voyage TO dis
tant stations instead of to their
home ports"
The sailors will not be satisfied
with returning to their home ports
instead Of to the maneuvers. The
demands of the sailors is that the
wage cuts be withdrawn and until
this is done they are determined to
act unitedly in defense Of the very
lives Of their wives, their children
and themselves.
This was clearly stated in the let
ter sent by the leaders of the sailors
to the Admiralty. This letter, stated
that,
at is evident to all concerned
that these cuts are forerunner of
tragedy, misery and immortality
among the families of the lower
deck and unless a guaranteed writ
ten agreement is received from the
Admiralty, confirmed by Parlia-
ment, stating that our pay will be
revised, we are still to remain as
one unit refusing to serve under
the new rates of pay"
The sailors know that the MacDon-
aid budget wage cuts are aimed at
cutting even the present miserable
living standards of their families.
The Times quotes one Of the leaders
Of the sailors of the giant cruiser
Hood as follows:
1--WE are fighting for our wives
and children. The cuts cannot hit
us aboard ship, but our wives, after
the rent is paid, have only pound
left. How can they stand cut of
seven shiIlings and sixpence?"
The bitterness of the workers in
the armed forces has not been con-
fined to the Atlantic fleet. The Lon
don Daily Mail printed yesterday
morning a dispatch from Malta, in
the Mediterranean, saying that there
had already been some discomfort
among the British air forces against
the wage cuts. Furthermore the re-
sentiment Of the British workers in
the Woolich arsenal and other War
Department establishments near
London against the Macdonald wage
cuts has been admitted by the Brit
ish government. The Times reports
that the great fear of the British
capitalist class is that the growing

NATIONS PLAN ROAD
TO PANAMA CANAL
ENJOYS Discuss Link of $500
Miles From u. S. Via
Central America.

PANAMA CITY, Republic of Panama
March 17-An international highway
which would link the United States with
the Panama Canal Zone was planned
here yesterday at the Inter-American
Highway Commission. Delegates par
ticipating in the discussion came from
the United States Panama, Costa Rica,
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and
the Canal Zone. Colombia sent an
observer.
The highway, which when completed
would stretch $500 miles, would open
up to modern transportation some OF
the almost impenetrable regions of Costa
Rica and Nicaragua. The commission
will recommend a route, type OF con-
struction and other details.
T. H. Macdonald, chief of the United
States Bureau of Public Roads, who
heads the United States delegation, said
the highway undoubtedly would bring
many tourists from his country. w. R.
Ely, chairman of the Texas Highway
Commission, pointed out that Mexico
did not send a delegate to the confer
ence, since that country already has
completed a road from Mexico City to
within go miles of the United States
border.
A tentative route to be followed by the
highway was outlined yesterday after
noon from data compiled during the
last eight months by United States
engineers. It was said that ID per cent
of the preparatory field work already
has been done about so per cent is
proceeding and the complete report
should be ready for Congress by De-
cember.

Fearing that Hot Springs and Boise

tors of Reno sponsored the measure.
