Black of Alabama. zone is that

"But even if I stood alone |

The manufacture of salt is a
government monopoly in India.
Gandhi's campaign last spring

opoly. He and his followers by
the thousands were jailed. Gandhi

and his reports are truly i1luminat-
ing. However, they do not prevent
the Tribune from publishing fancy
yarns about hunger and poverty in
the Soviet Union where help is
needed to man the growing Soviet
Industries.
And here we better digress and
nail the lie that Russian labor IS
"forced" or shaved labor. Russian
workers are employed thru the EN-
ployment offices OF their trade un-
ions and they are given work IN
whatever industry they are accus-
toned to work in Or If unski1led,
wherever they are needed. They
are paid trade union rates Of wag-
es and enjoy working conditions
away ahead of any set of workers
in the world even in times of pros
perity. The canard about "forced"
labor was invented by the plumber
bund press in their frenzied efforts
to gloss over the spectacle of at
least from eight to ten millions of
Jobless, in this, the wea1thiest i'm
perialtst country in. the world.
Those unemployed of ours would
be glad If they were "forced" to
work on a government job at the
union scale of wages and under the
most advanced union working con-
ditions.
The kept press would have us be-
ueve that "s1ave labor" and not
planned scientific production is
what enables the Soviet government
to beat the stuffing out Of their
impeiralist competitors in the COM
petition for markets in certain lines
OF industry. In nationalized heavy
industry the Soviet Union does not
have to pay rent, interest or profit,
to paunchy parasites who "weave
not; naither do they spin" Tho
Soviet Union is putting horns on
the capitalist. Jackass and making
him the laughing stock Of intelli-
gent workers the world over. What
will be the result when the Five
Year Plan is completed2 This is
what is making the ilnperialist rob-
bers quake even more so than the
propaganda Of the Communists.

Some years ago I listened to
flannel-mouthed socialist lecture on
the inefficiency of the Russian
worker. He had returned from MOS
cow-it was during the civil war
where he happened to land in Jail
for few weeks for keeping his
bazoo opene after the five O'Clock
whistle blew. He was mistaken FOR
a counter revolutionist but he turn
ed out to be only a fool. Yet this
amadhaun was considered just the
boy to prejudice the minds of the
American workers against Russia.
One American worker could do as
much work in a day as five Rus
slams. That was his theme song.
Well, they aren't now. They have
MT got a chance. And even II they
had the Russian worker of today,
with modern machinery to work
with and an ideal to work for is
not the pre-war Russian with anti
quated machinery and the con-
seriousness that he was slave OF

newspaper men in Havana who
criticize the government will be

was originally aimed particularly
at the editor of the insurgent Ha-
vana American who recently antic-
ipated a deportation order by fly

a. Police have been ordered ia

5. Soldiers have been ordered tc

partment store because women OF
the opposition meet in its tearoom
to "conspire." The department
store is declared to be a hotbed OF
sedition. The Havana Yacht Club
was recently padlocked under the
same pretext.
Other points of interest in the
revolutionary situation are.
1. Pres. Machado is said to have
money enough to pay his army and
police only until the end of Janu-

crushing debt or from the grave
economic problem caused bv the
world under-consumption of sugar
and the failure of the tourist crop
8. Fear Of u. S. intervention is
given as the reason by opposition
leaders and labor leaders for not
precipitating a revolution or call

a. Responsible American news

the Cuban press to Machado to his
failure to keep up the government

traditional policy of being "agin

Of any people. The efficiency OF the
Germans cracked when wall
Streets conscripts delivered the

efficiently than Russian mouth

The "round table" conference ON
India still continues to drag along
in London. This conference is NOT
! attended by a soul who represents
in the remotest way the Interests
OF the Indian masses. There are
plenty of Rajahs and other protect
ed and bribed tools Of British i'm
periahs1n but the Labor Party gov
eminent refuses a seat at the con
ference to even the petty bourge-
OILS Indian nationa1ists. It has al
ways been the policy Of imperial
istic powers to divide and conuuer
and hold on to their loot by a con
tinuatton OF the same policy. Brit
ain has pampered the Indian ruling
classes who are wealthy beyond
the dreams OF avarice, their wealth
acquired by the exploitation OF the
most exploited people in the world.
But there is lot of heat under
the Indian princes now and thew
fear that even the power of the
once invincib1e British Raj NAV mot
be able to save them much longer.
SO they are dickering for some con-
cesstons from Great Britain that
may be expected to fool the Indian
masses. a sop to the petty bour-
geoisie Of India, something like the
Free State" concession to Ireland
may satisfy the nationansts.
What the Free State meant TO
the people Of Ireland-we mean the
workers and poor farmers-is a
tragic fact. Cultura1ly tha Irish
masses have been showed back into
the dark ages. Books written by
/ authors who are not willing TO Kiss
the toe OF Musso1ini's pope are
banned and only drivel in praise of
neurotic saints is really popular
with the government. The masses
are just as badly off economically
If not worse-than they were m
der direct British rule. The Indian
people will have a similar expert
ence If their nationalist patriots get
control OF the government and the
guns. The fate of the Chinese
masses under the Kou,nintano
should be a lesson for them. It Is
interesting to note and also cheer
ing that while the Rajahs and the
pilots Of the British Empire are
dickertng in London, there is seri-
Gus fighting going on in India.
There is dtsaffectton in the Indian
Army. The famous Sink riflemen
are taking "beads" on British army
Officers. The Indian "pacifists" are
saying 1t with arms despite the
mumbltng admonitions Of Ghandi,
who may yet prove to the world
that he is Britain's last line Of de-
Tense against the Indian revolution.

GIVE MAHATMA OVATION


Bombay, Jan. 27.-The Mahatma
M. K. Gandhi, out of Jail less than
"a hours, narrowly escaped serious
injury tonight when a throng of
hysterical admirers sought to ga
Their around and touch their spirit
ual and political leader at a mass
meeting of welcome here.
A woman was crushed to death
and 30 others were injured during
a stampde to get near the plat
form on which Gandhi stood, earn
est but smiling, as he received the
continuous roar of their ovation.
The diminuative inspiration of
the civil disobedience movement a.
gainst British rule in India reach
ed the Esplanada Maiden at 6 D.
m. 1t was a solid mass of eager
followers of Gandhi. The crowd
was estimated conservatively at
100000. They were excited and got
out of control when they learned
that Gandhi, accompanied by Vail
abhi Patel, another nationalist
leader, had reached the esplanade.
1t took Gandhi and his escort an
hour to reach the platform.
Thousands stampeded when they
caught sight of his frail figure,
tiny against the background of the
men around him. He was CARRIED
simply in white homespun and ap-
peared tired. He sought to speak
but the confusion was too great.
His people could not be silent in
his presence. 1t was a remarkable
sight.
After five minutes Gandhi wav-
ed his hand and left. He got thru
the dense throng with difficulty,
closely guarded. The fanatical fol-
lowers wanted to touch him. In
the increasing confusion Gandhi
was extricated with the greatest
difficulty from the bowling mob of
his admirers.
Gandhi reached Bombay fror.

Bombay early this morning.
