Learning from MuLrooney

One thing the N Y. Times circulation manager
can boast Ct is that Herndon Evans Pineville,
Kentucky, editor, must read the Times" Any
how, the ancient alibis of Mulrooney are being
adopted in Pineville We refer to the "explana-
ton by Evans, that he and his gang did not beat
up Allan Taub and Waldo Frank no stree Evans
says Taub and Frank we're fighting with each
other to give the appearance Of being attacked"
just to make trouble for the kind-hcarted Ken
lucky fa5ci5ts.
Mulrooney's men have always commended that
workers in demonstrations throw themselves
against the pavement" SO hard as to sustain frac-
tured skulls, just to give an excuse to charge the
knd-hearted cops with beating them UP.
Of course, Communists are supposed tV be
funny people and might do some such thing, but
gee wtiz, the disease seems to be spreading to
lawyers and well known novelists Anyhow the
noyeliSts and dramatists that are on that com
mittee will have some right smart material for
their next novel or play,
Try This One on Stimson: Perhaps Mr.
Stimson, you could pull yourself away from
the transatlantic telephone long enough to ex-
plain how come that for the last many months
you have been making funny noises which you
claimed were peace efforts concerning China,
all of them politely based ON the gtnera1 idea

the broad inference that you don't agree with
the French proposal for a League of Nations

The Fourth Note

When the drive to "Americanize Europe" start
ed a few years ago, we met even in the Soviet
Union among the more backward workers there
with the lie so industriously cultivated by Amer
lean capitalists that I'm America, every worker
has an automobile and a radio"
Indeed them WIZ the daze' when the right
wing in our own movement was fascinated by the
strength" of American imperialism and talked
about 1t being "red-cheeked and young" Now
look at i'll And look at the Right Wing, tool
We we're reminded of this by the dispatch OF
the International News Service of Feb. Is, tell
ing of suicide of Ray Hayes, a San Francisco
musician-one of the aristocratic trades-who,
out of a job, took poison and then jumped out OF
a seventh storey window of Frisco hotel.
Hayes left four letters behind One to his wife
who expects to become mother One to his
mother Ono to the capitalist press, saying In
part
81 cannot get work and there is no one
can ask for help But the fourth note, says
the press: WAS in the form of a will. 1t be-
queathed his automobile, piano, radio and
three saxaphones to his widow"
Really Hayes should have bequeathed his
rugged indiWdualsm" also, but possibly to Pre-
Sident Hoover. However, what We want to call
attention to is the fact that this skilled worker,
though he had all that the lying propagand&
of American Imperialism said he should have as
an American worker an automobile and radio,
still he had NO SECURITY
How much better of, therefore. are tho work.
Crs of The Soviet Union who, building a socialist
society on the basis of their own government es-
tablshed by revolutionary ovethrowa Of the cap
italists and landlords, began by securing a living
to all who are willing to work and now are win
ming further security even in the enjoyment Of
autos and radios by building up a socialist
system.
The moral OF this yarn is not Of course that
American workers should not have autos and
radios, but that they should have sense enough
not to commit suicide but should overthrow
capitalism and gain security

THE lessons of tie last world mperialist war must
be made known TO the toiling masses of the
country Particularly to the younger generation
War TO stimulate trade, War to bring back
prosperity, are some of the key notes of Amer
lean Imperialism in its theological mobilization
of the masses for war We must actually and con-
yncingly expose the imperiatst aims and effects
OF war.
The main concern Of American imperialism
today is war against the Soviet Union against
Soviet China We must particularly expose the
lying campaign of bourgeois press to cover up
the great Socialist achievements of the first Five
Year Plan, and the establishment of classics
society through the Second Five Year Plan. The
figures of the huge expenditures on ornaments
by the imperialist powers, should be contrasted
with the figures of the peaceful policy of the So
Wet Union in the building of Socialism. Also with
the refusal to grant unemployment insurance,
while billions are spent on war.
Losses in the World War, 1s14-1S.
For all armies in the imperialist war of 1914-18
the reported number of dead soldiers was $685.,
I'll But that is only part of the story Nearly
100000 other soldiers were reported as "pris-
oners or missing and at least half OF these we're
dead.
Seriously wounded numbered over 5000 900, and
dead soldiers, at least as many civilians died.
either killed in air raids or dead from war dis
eases, starvation and exposure.
War widows in all countries numbered $780,
900. These women are left to earn living as best
they can, under postwar capitalism, and the
small widows pension is never enough to live
About 100000 children we're left fatherless by
the war, it is admitted by capitalist writers. And
at least 100000 men, women, and children lost
their homes and wandered as homeless refugees
over the land. So we have this list of what bour-
geois writers call ''the human cost of the great
world war'-the cost born mostly OF course by
the working class:
10000 900 known dead 100000 prisoners
soldiers 100000 war orphan,
3000,0 900 probably dead 100000 war widows
soldiers 100000 refugees
100000 dead civilians
100000 wounded soldiers
In the American army about 10000 soldiers
died in the war. over 10000 were seriously
wounded and nearly 10000 we're otherwise
wounded
Wa. Preparations
Every capitalist nation is prepared for war even
to the last belt buckle. The United States heads
the list of 60 nations in ornaments and spends
more than any other country for the army and
navy-$707 425,000 in the year, 1930-31.
League of Nations; Armaments Year Book) And
that vast sum is only for direct military and
naval expenditures.
Seventy cents out OF every dollar you pay In
taxes to the federal government goes for war,

by the u. s. government each year in peace

v. JEROME
HINDER a title held out as bait to the gullible
u a lberal-faScst has here produced a crit
icSm" of police methods which, in essence and
underlying motives, is as clear an apology for
cop and cossack as any that might be offered
perhaps without the Liberals hedging hypo
crisy) by Commissioner Mulrooney himself.
In this period of intensifying government ter
ror against the growing militancy OF the workers,
the bosses have need for the particular brand
of Liberal-fascis who, with gesture of paint
ing the devil black, will proceed to washing him
white.
Such retainer is Ernest Jerome Hopkins, and
such withdrawing Is his sensational book writ
ten with fearless frsnkness and honesty to
cite from the Jacket.
To begin with, the author proceeds from the
theory that police tyranny and violence mis-
represent our national scheme of justice" Cap
italist justice, that is must, according to him,
be kept out OF the mess, exonerated at the out
set from completely in police violence and cor
ruption
A piece of brazen chsrlatanry by which we
are asked to acquit the master that sicked the
bulldog on us!
And since "our justice" which is so spotless,
needs enforcement the police (our brave critic
OF brutality leads us ON are at bottom pursuers
OF justice, workers in the Of righteousness.
What better example could we have of the
Liberal-fasciSt method of action?-call1ng us to
a meeting against police brutality and then dop
ing us with reverence for brute boss justice and
for the brutes that seek to enforce it!
Unlawful police work" he warns lis the most
dangerous means of stirring that fire (of rebel
Mon) into blaze"
Yet, on its critical side, the book contains re-
velations of police atrocty that should make the
Spanish Inquisitors turn in their graves with
envy Here are tales of horror; of Confessions
forced through the unspeakably bestial and sad
istic Third Degree; of false arrests, to keep the
quota high or made as business drlmnings for
fee-splitting Shyster lawyers and bondsmen.
significant In this connection are the accounts
Of police vctinizaton of Negroes. Police break
into Negro homes especially without warrants,
insult the inhabitants, beat them, and arrest
them on trmped-up charges or on no charges
at all knowing that the black worker has no
chance in court. Most fragrant of all Is the
case of the Texan policeman who lured two Ne
groes into a bank and shot them dead SO as
to get the reward of $1,000 offered by the local
bankers association for the killing of any bank
robber.
Through it all however, with the scoundreny
double-dealing of the Liberal, the author at
tempts to create an atmosphere of understand
ing" for the policeman. He seeks to explain
away the brutalities ~ vestige, necessary
and natural remainder from an earlier stage
when I'VE were disorderly people" Or he Lifts
the guilt from the police by having them share

mean. 1.-THE police are human and, forgetting
their duty they. too, take sides" Through such
chicanery he actually apologies for police brut-
atty to Negroes on the grounds Of popular
