This is the ninth and last of a series of articles

ions) which give in clear outline, the forecast
of what war will bring, the conditions that will
ensue and the historic developments that will
mark the Transformation of the capitalist war
into civil war DEVELOPMENTS in which every
worker will find it necessary to act agent
of that transformation. Let all understand,
then, that the developments which today
but forecasts will tomorrow be grim realities
which must be faced. Answer the
makers today in mass demonstrations-Edtor.
fF course, capitalism will fight the revolution
v airy vanguard tooth and nail with all the
force of its military dictatorship WAR is under
taken to divide and poison the minds of the
workers with nationalist dope, to externinate
their vanguard in order to weaken the revou-
tlonary movement of the proletariat." But this
work must be renewed stubbornly and resolutely,
again and again, and with self-denying activi-
ties the message must be carried to all the work
srs to all the soldiers All talk Of "boycotting war"
must be exposed. There must not be any con-
ceSsions on this score.
Here is what Lenin wrote during the last war:
NOV that the war has begun, 1t would be useless
to turn our backs on it.. people at the front be-
gin to think, begin to question things far more
than they do at home We must go there and
organize the proletariat for the final objective,
for it is utopian to think that the proletariat will
reach it by any peaceful means" Or elsewhere:
"a refusal to bear arms and a strike against war,
ETC.. is simply foolishness, wretched and cow
ardy myth of struggling unarmed against
armed bourgeoisie, the fiction that capitalism
can be destroyed without desperate civil war or
series of wars"
The Role of the Revolutionary Vanguard.
In the wars of the future, which would involve
the entire population, these factors will become
more significant and more widespread in their
effects. In the meantime dependent on the scale
and tension Of these contradictions, this unno-
ticed underground work among the masses may
evoke widespread movement and response, may
bring about mighty change in even shorter
period
AS Lenin remarked, it is in war time that "a
rapid change occurs in the feelings of the mass
eS, when the backward strata of the proletarfat
in the space of a few months, sometimes in as
many weeks, turn into an army of millions strong
following the lead of the revolutionary vanguard
Of the workers."
There is no doubt at all that the present de-
velopment Of the Communist Parties and the
revolutionary unions will enable them from the
very commencement of hostilities to achieve sub
stantia successes in this struggle and definitely

Statement of the 1'UUL on the
Lawrence Strike

AFTER nearly six weeks Of heroic struggle, the
- Lawrence textile workers have been driven
back to work without being able to defeat the
10 per cent wage cut. The strike was broken not
only through hunger and wholesale arrests but
primarily through the strike breaking and the
treacfery of the United Textile Workers and the
AL. officials
The Lawrence textile workers in this strike
maintained their splendid fighting traditions &C
cumulated through decades OF militant struggle
From the beginning to the end, the $4,000 work.
ers stood solid almost to man. It was only
when they recognized that the ALL and the
U.T.W. leaders, through their skillful and cum
ming treachery had trapped them, had prepared
the defeat, that they went back as body, almost
as they had come out in the most spontaneous
strike.
The Lawrence textile workers could have
scored a victory in this struggle The workers
were united and ready to fight to finish The
militant struggle they carried on for over five
weeks is proof of this. They we're defeated first
because they did not yet know that the militant
phrases Of Watt and REVERE, Music and Shul-
man. were but cover for the united conspiracy

"MEN AT WORK.
Princes And Perfumes

A french comrade reminds us Lies extremes Sc
touchant," or in plain English, Extremes meet. /"
which OF course may be carried too far, but in
this case 1t fits, as per the following:
THE making and peddling of perfumes has
come to be the chief occupation of many mem
bers of exiled Russian royalty. One Russian
prince, Prince Matchabelli, has devoted many
years to creating subtle scents for the delight
of the most fastidious women Prince
Vasili, said to be nephew the Gar and the
son of Grand Duke Alexander. is the road rep
resentative for the MatchabelIi perfumes; while
his wife Nataia sells them over counter at
the Bergdorf Goodman store, where they were
previously sold by Grand Duchess Marie"
This is from the New York Beauty Shop News"
OF Oct. is But while interesting it. doesn't tell
the whole story. You see perfume is created by
a combination of perfume essence mixed with a
substance called "skatol" which holds it and
makes the smell last. This "skatol is, be it said
the oily quintessence of the most smelly material
-excrement dung.
So it is quite natural (and after all they
are not extremes, except both are extremely
offensive) to find that Russian princes and skatol
have found their way together into the perfume
business along Fifth Avenue.

deal that is being put over on unemployed stem

THE method is to apply to an otherwise
reputable employment agent to send prospective

several call after usual office hours when they

in fact to turn out full-page letters with carbon

OF the mill owners the government and the vel
low labor fakers TO defeat them at all costs
When they found that at the critical moment
at the order of the mill owners the UT.W lead
ers came out openly and told them to go back
TO work, they were not able to again regather
their forces for the continuation of the fight The
defeat was also due to the failure to build the
organization Of the workers prior to the strike
The failure to build united front committees in
the mills, the failure TO build their own union
the National Textile Workers Union Had this
been done, it would have been impossible for the
UT.W, the ALL. to misead and betray the
Lawrence textile workers.
The weaknesses of the General Strike Com
mttee and the NTWU in the conduct of the
strike made it more difficult for the workers to
smash all their enemies The chief mistakes were
undue legalism, lack of firmness, loose organiza-
tion and the inability to develop the united
front OF the rank and file In ell phases of the
strike activity.
The Lawrence strike is OF the greatest signifi-
canoe to the workers of the u S. If we learn the
causes for the defeat we will be able to be vic

CAPITALIST Morality

Or perhaps It might be capitalist legality
it matters little. Anyhow cornrade noted that
the cops removed the Red Flag from the build
ing up in Harlem where our brave young COM
rade, Edwards of the Y.CL., laid in death and
from which he was buried.
The display of Red Flag is contrary to cap
italist morality or legality" or something
Anyhow it was removed by COPS
But the same comrades noted that the same
cops with the same morality" and the same
legality (Which of course aren't shared by Com
munists), in spite of the fact that capitalist
morals" and Flaw" forbid prostitution. never
molested the six streetwalkers who-poor VIC
tins of capitalism that they are-approach men
on that very same block, nor do they disturb
the brothels that abound on both sides of the
street.

Rather Interesting

But it is out of our reach. We speak about

we haven't the money in spite of all the won

They are two books published by Harper IL

second, More They Told Barron Barron you
should know was newspaper financial reporter
who became owner of the Wall Street journal
He was devil for keeping records OF every
thing any fnanciar told him, writing it down
and filing it away. When he died these notcs
were gone over and published in the books we
mention but can't buy So we have to tell ycl
about what they say in the words of Button
Rascoe who reviews them in the n Y Sun CT

doings.'
Hold your horses, brother, 1t hasn't survived
But he goes on to quote some of the words Of
the books themselves:
October II. 1909, r. H. Prince said: John
D. Rockefeller is worth billion. He makes
his money by simply tipping out S50OOo0,ooe
OF securities, then the market goes down and
he takes them back at his leisure. OF course
the market cannot stand the weight of his

back to the words Of the Sun reviewer:

rotten with chicanery from top TO bottom, But
we are glad that one Of its own darling bows

torious in the future struggles The fighting
spirit Of the Lawrence workers guarantees this
The major lessons we must learn are first that
the struggle can only be successful if it is car
RED on against the treacherous leaders, as well
as against the bosses, whose agents they are
And secondly, that we must have better organiza-
ton before and during the struggle, and over
come the reliance on spontaneity. We must de-
velop the unity of the workers and build the
fighting organs of struggle from the ranks of
the workers themselves
The Lawrence workers will very shortly be able
to turn this defeat into new advance If they
learn these lessons, and prepare for the next
struggle. This must take the form of fight
against discrimination for local demands in each
mill and department They must build their
mills committees build the National Textile
Workers Union
The mill owners encouraged by the blow
to THE Lawrence workers, may become more
brazen in their attacks But they will find that
the Lawrence workers will know better now how
to answer and defeat them
In the name Of all workers. we salute the fight.

organization, to drive out the bosses agents from
their ranks, and to smash the bosses attacks.

WAR PREPARATIONS IN
THE PACIFIC

WHnE tn1periahst Japan advances toward the
Soviet Union on the Manchurian front, the
sham battle between Hoover and the Navy
League is only screen to cover up increased
ornaments. The present war in Manchuria and
the war moves against the U. S. S. r. hasten
Hoovers armament increase. The imperalist
United States government has let out contracts
for the building of 5 new destroyers for the navy
department as announced by Secretary of the
Navy Adams, on Sept, %, 1881. Contracts are
as follows
One Destroyer Builder: Bath Iron Works
Corp, Bath, Maine. Cost: $2,626,0o0
One Destroyer Builder: Bethlehem shipbuild-
ing Corp, quincy, Mass. Cost: s3,o34,5oo.
One Destroyer. Builder: Navy Yard, Boston,
Mass
One Destroyer. Builder: Navy Yard New York.
One Destroyer. Builder: Navy Yard Puget
Sound, Washington, on the Pacific Coast
All II destroyers voted by the last Congress
will cost together about s1ooOeOOo and con-
tracts for the remaining of these destroyers
will be given out before long
For the U. S. Navy as a whole the government
spent over s375,oOOo0O and for the army $780,
$4,000 IN 1880. In air forces the United States
boasts that it now leads the world" with LISP
airplanes, 1884 officers and men, and an expen-
diture of s11o,oOoooo in 1880. Only France with
1867 planes approaches the United States in
strength of air forces.
In all, the United States spent $707 425, 900 for
ornaments during the last fiscal year This is
only what is officially admitted 1t leads a list
Of 60 nations in the figures on world ornaments

War Department Activities on Pacific Coast
The Secretary OF War in his annual report for
1880 shows that millions of these dollars are
spent by the u s government m the Pacfir
Coast and in the islands OF the Pacific for the
equipment Of war bases For the Panama Canal
Zone alone the war department spent S11 264 900
In the year ending June go 1890.
Up and down the Pacific Coast from the Canal
Zone north to Alaska, special activities of the
war department are seen in the expenditures
and appropriations Of the budget. Recent ex-
penditures for the Canal Zone include such de-
tails as: plans for Notifications, armament of
Notifications, submarine mines seacoast bat
teries, searchnghts and electrical installations,
and seacoast defenses for signal, engineers and
ordnance departments
The war department is also Continuing with
The work of building the Madden Dam to in
crease the storage of water available for use in
Gatun Lake, Panama Canal" This involves
large expenditure
Further up the coast the war department has
recently completed the building of military roads

A comrade send us in little story which we
take editorial liberties with in chopping I'D. and
we beg his pardon, but we think he won't mind:
There is an open man-hole in the crowded
street, with a section of iron pipe curved around
1t to guard against accidents Above it extends
a pole on which Red Flag is fluttering in the
breeze. Below it, hung on the iron pipe, is
sign
MEN AT WORK"
A chap eyes it all thoughtfully from the curb
then disappears. Shortly he returns with nice
white paper on one side of which he has srneared
wet paste, and, on the other, something written
In large letters with lamp black He watches
his chance and then pastes it right below that
Men at Work sign. Again on the curb he sur
veys it. 1t now reads:

| Pacific Ocean lie the Hawaiian Islands where
the U. S. government has established one of the
most completely fortified naval bases in the
world, and 5000 miles beyond are the Philip
pine Islands, also war base. Recent expendi-
lures Of the war department in the Philippine
Islands include the building of giant power
plant at Fort Mills Corregidor P. I.
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, is the most completely
equipped base in the Pacific and its extensive
Notifications and defenses are maintained by
the War Department.
That the Pacific Ocean is the next war center
Is admitted in an article by General William
Mitchell in the capitalist weekly magazine,
Liberty, of June 81, 1881 Pleading for more air
forces, he writes:
1.-THE United States is the only great white
power whose shores washed by that ocean
the Paciflc). Asia contains more than twice the
population of Europe. Europe could help us very
little in a contest with Asia.
"In the Pacific there are potential air bases
on the Aleutian Islands, the islands on the coast
north of Puget Sound, the Hawaiian Islands,
the Galapagos Islands Cocos Islands, and
other small islands that are within an aero
nautical stones throw of the Panama Canal.
Alaska is the key point to the Pacific, be-
base equidistant from either the Asiatic coast
or the American coast. Modern airplanes can
fly from New York to Peiping, China, by way of
Alaska in so hours"
Thus predicting the part air forces will play
in the war OF the Pacific Gen Mitchell con-
cludes: eve must have an organization that will
strike at the enemy's heart with our own air
force before he can hit US" And the enemy, he
says quite plainly in the article is the Soviet
Union
War has already begun in the Far East against
the Chinese masses and against the Soviet
Union and the United States is we'll prepared to
take part in this war.
