SANDER of the periasts and interventonists against
the Soviet Union The capitalists expected that with this
wild and ridiculous lie they would be able to stop the
growing sympathy of the working women in the United
States for the country which is ruled by the workers
and peasants
At the present time the imperialst organizers Of
military intervention against the Soviet Union speak
longer of "nationahzed women" Everybody knows
it to be vicious and hypocrcal lie of the capitalists
Moreover, the tong in the capitalist countries
know that one of the Legitimate" institutions of capt.

capitalist exploitation crisis and chronic unemployment
inadequate wages for the necessities of life, that are
driving thousands upon thousands of working women
to sell themselves into prostitution. This is just
much part of the capitalist system the special
exploitation and oppression of women and children.
But the imperalists and interventonts still talk
ing about the destruction of the family in the Soviet
Union This is the sort of hypocrtca lie as was
the tale of nationalized The hypocrcy of the
capitalists knows no bounds Who it, if not capital

War Note Book

even went to the extent of preventing a peace
settlement because they had not reaped thir full
harvst of profits
The story of j. P. Morgan's part in blocking
any peace settlement by offering the support of
American imperialism in order to save the heavy
investments of the House of Morgan on the side
of the allies in the last world war is told by a
high French official M. Gabriel Hanoteaux,
formerly minister of Foreign Affairs for France,
in his History of the War of 1914, volume No. lot,
page 81, states that France was ready to make
peace in the latter part of 1914, but that it was
dissuaded from doing SO by three American
bankers and capitalist politicians namely, Rob-
ert Bacon, of the House of Morgan, fiscal agent
for the British government; Myron T. Herrick,
who later was made U. S. ambassador to France
and much fawned upon by the French imper-
ialists for his work; and William G. Sharp.
These men declared to French officials that they
would organize a special propaganda in the
United States which would assure Americas
entry into the war
These facts and many more showing the wide
network of war propaganda of the imperialists
throughout the last World War were brought out
in a speech made by Congressman M. A. Mich
lelson on May 26th, 1921 because Michaelson
felt that American imperialism had not gotten
enough of the spoils out of the last war and
therefore was tricked What he meant is that
the Petty ourgeoisie did not share sufficiently
in the booty of Morgan, Mellon, Rockefeller
Hoover and Company, and therefore spouted
their fake pacifism to befuddle the workers to
the present war preparations.
The present-day capitalist press reeks with
war propaganda in subtle form. War experdi-
lures are greater than ever. War maneuvres go
on every day. In Arkansas military training
camp, shut since the close of the last World
War, has just been reopened for the training
of farm boys for war. Billions are being spent
for war. The Navy Department is coming be-
fore the next Congress with bills for hundreds
of millions in addition to the $450000000 just
spent for naval war ornaments.
The capitalist press which lies about condi-
tons of the American workers, 100000 of
whom right now face starvation in the ranks of
the unemployed, just as glibbly lies about the
war preparations.
Billions are being spent for war; millions for

over to the unemployed Immediately for relief!

Ask Me, | Don't Know \
By JORGE

The capitalist press, including the N. 7. T1ine&
keeps insisting that there is forced" labor in
the Soviet Union But the Times of July O. pub
fishes a wireless dispatch from Moscow Begin
ming:
MOSCOW, July "A new problem con-
fronts the Soviet-how to tempt farm work.
ers to the cities to work in factories"
We thought that Messrs. Wales, Knickerbock-
er, Norman Thomas and Wo-Fish had proven"
that the Soviet "tempts" nobody but puts them
IN chains and forces them to go anywhere 1t or
ders and work
From orr sources we know that the wicked
Soviet "compels" them to accept wages social

that 1T is tempting" them to work.

their liStlessness, brought on partly through
malnutrition, lack of adequate food with
their wives and gaunt, pale, yellowish IistIess
children, they lie on their piles of rags and
straw in their huts and wait for the ned
whatever it may be-"
But dang it ALL two days earlier, In the Times
OF July 3, mentioned above, is the article con-
tinuing the story about tempting farm workers
to come to the city, we found the following:
"The collective farms have absorbed the
surplus agricultural labor and supplied the
farmers with food SO that they have almost
lost the stimulus to make the track to the city.
1t seems mighty hard for the Soviet to please
the capitalist correspondents Mr.. Wales says
the farmers are all starving to death and are
too weak to move SO the Five Year Plan Is a
failure" Another correspondent says that the
farmers are so chuck full of food they can't
move, so the factories are short of workers and
therefore the Five Year Plan is imperiled

Peace Pacts-Signs of
Slaughter
FOR THE 1MpERIAL1sT WAR

g. Lord Haldane advocated the development
of full international HSitthchkeit" or ethical
habit among nations as well as within ma
tons He recognized that its development was
more hopeful in the case of nations with some
special relations than within a mere aggregate
of nations. In this connection he said that
recent events in Europe and the way in which
the great powers had worked together to pre-
serve the peace of Europe as if forming one
community pointed to the ethical possibilities
of the group system as deserving of close study
by both statesmen and students"
N Y. Times, Sept. 2, 1918.
ITO be frank with you, it is my opinion that
so long as the world is what it is, there is no
cure for war. I feel that the best we can do
at present is to come to such understandings
with those groups nearest to us that we may
say, as between us We will not wage war
IT can not understand why some nations are
so fearful of conferences and consultative pacts
These agencies belong to the present age and
and are the best means we can take sometimes
to settle many problems which appear almost
insolvable Consultation does not necessarily
involve commitment
Therefore parity brings an entirely new note
into our national life 1t means that no longer
can we hold rightly to neutrality, if neutrality
is selfish and unjust, on the other hand it
might demand joint neutrality, if it became
necessary by so doing to maintain the peace
of the world; joint action If necessary to
preserve our Western civilization. admiral

SAYS BLISS AGREED
WITH GEN. PERSH|NC
Son Declares Differences
Were Over Expediency and
Not Fundamentals.
BY REX COLLIER.

Gen. Pershing and Gen. Tasker H.
Bliss. World War chief of staff, may
have had some differences of opinion
over expectancy in executing certain A.
e. r. policies, but they were in general
accord on the fundamentals of those
policies. according to Col. E. G. Bliss,
Reserve officer ard son of the late
general.
Asked to comment regarding Gen.
Pershine's reference to a debate he had
with Gen. Bliss over the latter's pre-
liYninary approval of British plan Tor
amalgamating some American troops
into British divisions, Col. Bliss laid
stress on the fact that Gen. Bliss al
WAYS had great confidence in Gen. Per-
shing'S judgment. -
While extremely reluctant 10 give

documents left by his father show that

he later talked the matter over, with the
result that Gen. Bliss came around to
my view"
Gen. Pershing was standing out for
an independent American Army.
MY father nsver discussed with me
the particular incident referred to in
Gen. Pershing's article" Col. Bliss said.
However, it must be apparent to every
one that under the stress of great
conflict some differences of opinion were
inevitable between such strong charac-
tiers.
II feel, however, that from my per-
sonal knowledge of my fathers views
during the war, any differences that
arose must have involved matters of ex-
pediency in carrying out general pro-
gram more than the general program
itself.
Had Confidence in Chief.
Personally, I know that my father
always had great confidence in Gen.
Pershing's judgment and held for him
a high personal esteem. Their mutual
friendship, which began years prior to
the war. extended up to the date Of
my fathers death
"A full expression of my fathers
views in connection with the matters
relating to the prosecution of the war
could not be given in a few brief COM
mentS. The records which he has left,
however, indicate quite clearly from
start to finish that his views represented
the best interests of the American
cause"
It is understood that Col. Bliss Is as

OHIO TO UNDERTAKE
TAX LAWS REVISION
Legislators Also to Consider Reso-
luton on Dry Act
Repeal.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February 9.-Re-
vision of Ohio's taxation system will
get under way this week with the APP
pointment of Joint Legislative Com
mittee of two Democrats and three Re-
publicans 10 draw up new laws as re-
quired by the classification amendment,
which will replace the old uniform rule
plan.
Besides taxation and further discus
sion on the drought and unemployment
situation, the legislators must give their
attention to several other important
questions during the next few days.
These include prohibition, which caused
stir earlier in the session when nu-
merous bills and resolutions to wipe out
all liquor laws we're introduced.
The first hearing on this question will
be held tomorrow when the House Judi
ciary Committee takes up the Nippert
resolution calling for a referendum to
repeal the State prohibition amendment
Next in importance is bill to repeal
the Ohio syndicalism law, enacted as a
war measure. This also will be con-
sidered by the House Judiciary Com
mittee Thursday.

As to fuel, the natural tendency Of
all troops, but especially Americans,
under such conditions was to use an
excessive amount. Nothing delights our
soldiers more than to gather around a
rousing fire either in or out of doors.
But the allowance of f1rewood was
limited and there was no such thing in
France as stealing the top rail from
fences, as our troops did in the Civil
War Many units had to go into the
forests and cut their own wood, and
the Winter was well along before our
forestry troops got to the point OF
keeping up the supply.
Then, as we have seen. there was
also a shortage of heavy Winter cloth
ing, although frequent cables early in
the Fall had called attention to the
probability of deficiency. No doubt
the demands were greater than the
Quartermaster Department could meet,
out the relatively small number Of troops
in France going through the Winter
under actual war conditions should
have been given first consideration.
Much of the clothing that we received
for our troops looked to be shoddy, and
being light and thin of course offered
insufficient protection.
The deficiencies were met in part
by purchases from the British, although

Objected to Buttons.
I recall an incident that occurred in
one of the regiments of infantry which
was composed largely of Irish-Ameri-
cans. This organization had received
a consignment of British uniforms with
brass buttons, which, of course, bore
the coat of arms of Great Britain
When the uniforms were issued a wave
of opposition swept through the outfit
against wearing British buttons. TIC

the changes were made. and the regi-
ment then turned out looking both
smart and serene.
The necessity for haste in preparation,
as we'll as the maintenance of morale,
made 1t necessary to carry out our
program of training almost regardless
of the weather, and even though it en-
tailed some hardships the constant out
door life kept the troops in good
health and hardened them for the
work ahead.
