the fish ascend shallow water
and picks out the eyes of thu
fish, killing them quickly before
spawning. The writer has had
many experienced fishermen
make the statement that Gee
seagull has been here long be-
fore the white man ever was.
That is very true and cannot be
disputed by any one in au-
thority.
My statements are founded
On the facts that the seagull OF
today can consume just as many
salmon eggs and fry as he did
q century ago. Then above all
his destruction, along comes the
white man and he takes out Of
the waters Of Alaska between
SO,O00,O00 to 100,O00,OOO salmon

not make matters better for the
increase of salmon when done
year after year.
The next greatest destroyer Of
salmon eggs and fry is the bu-
reau of fisheries. The writer's
reason, with the aid of the bu-
reau Of fisheries figures, namely:
that when you clean out a creek,
end make a fume out of it, it
ceases to act as a spawning
ground, and no salmon eggs can
stay there to be hatched; for
nearly every fall, right after the
salmon spawn there are ex-

all the creeks and rivers to fill

capitalist lie that the seizure of the
Chinese Eastern Railway in 1929 by
the militarist tools of world i'm

volutionary justice" instead of the
first war move in the East of the
imperialists, especially American
Imperialism. 1t is no accident that
1t was only the next day that was
printed Trotsky's article, syndicated
throughout the capitalist press,

1t becomes more clear every day
that the forces released by the
crisis are rushing the inperialists
into a new world war. The argu-
ment that the fear of revolution"
will restrain the imperialist war
makers in the mouths of the social
faSciStS, who are the henchmen of
the revolution, becomes one of the
most insidious weapons in their
hands to dampen the workers alert
ness and readiness to struggle to
prevent the carrying through of
mass revolutionary actions. All with
the main purpose of dissipating the
fighting energy of the workers with
the plea that there is no danger of

The Social Fascists are especially

raising by the Communists the
demand for American imperialist
war ships under the direction of
Hoover to convey American cap
italist ammunitions to the Soviet
Union in China for a revolutionary

1t must be clear to the American
workers that, however sharp the

Japanese imperialism, and how

take place within the limitations of
the fundamental irreconcilable con-
tradiction, the main contradiction
between the two worlds, the world
of decaying capitalism on the one
hand and the world of rising So
cialist construction in the Soviet
Union on the other.
The revolutionary workers must
everywhere make use OF the con-
centrated work of the Anti-War
Week, eliminating April 9Th, the
anniversary of Americas entry into
the World War of 1914-1918, to
really rouse the million masses to
the fact that war is already begun,
a war which will involve the en-
tire world. We must sharply ex-
pose the slanderous lies of the
parties of the Second International
who are the most dangerous agents
of the war makers among the toll
ing masses. We must arouse the
hatred and the resentment of the
masses against bloody Japanese i'm
perialism and strengthen the n<o-
letarian solidarity with the growing
heroic revolutionary movement In
Japan and organize the struggle
against American imperiaIism's
participation in the rape of CHA
and the preparations Of the war
against the Soviet Union. We must
arouse and organize the vigilance
of the workers in the war and
transport industries to actively pre-
vent the shipment of ammunitions
of war to Japanese imperialism and
to demand the withdrawal Of all
imperialist armed forces frosA
China.
The Anti-War Week must be not
the climax but merely the beginning
of an even broader mass mobiliza-
ton of the struggle against war.
After April 9Th comes the mobili-
cation of May Day, International
labor day which will be an even
greater day of struggle against inn
perialist war.

THE capitalist world. trying to
find a way out of the crisis, is
moving ever faster to military action
to the solution" of this crisis by
war. The war which has already
begun in the Far East will in the
process of its development newt
ably involve the entire world. The
struggle against war is the first
problem of the day for all workers
and especially, therefore, for our
Communist Party.
Each new phase in the spreading
Of the military areas is not always
possible to see in all its details in
advance. The main outlines of the
war front, however, are clear. The
war Is, in the first place, a mob
1lization of all the forces of i'm
perialism against the Soviet Union,
against Soviet China and for the
partitioning of China at the cost OF
a greatly intensified exploitation OF
the Chinese people, against the col
onial revolution throughout the
world, for the further colonial
enslavement of the dependent and
oppressed peoples and working-class
movement in the imperialist coun-
tries.
Against the U. S. S. II. against
the Chinese People
The developing war is in the first
place war of Imperialism against
the proletarian revolution, against
the new world of socialism which
has its stronghold in the U.S.S.R.
Simultaneously the war becomes
inevitable as an instrument for the
armed redivision of the world as a
result of the growing contradictions
within the imperialist camp. Here
is taking place regrouping and
shifting Of forces, which is not COM
pleted and by no means rigid and
set, reflecting the depth of the
crisis and the resulting growing
contradictions. Therefore, it is i'm
possible to clearly see the final
alignment between the imperialist
powers, which will assume a def
mite character in the course of the
development of the war itself.
The principal immediate moving
force of war against the Soviet
Union-France and her vassal states
in Europe in alliance with Japan
in the East-is at the same time
one of the decisive factors in the
process of regrouping of the i'm
perialist powers, trying to use and
play upon the fundamental an
tsgonism between the United States
and British Imperialism and their
principal and common hostility
against the Soviet Union.
The firece struggle that is taking
place between the inperialists as
well as the contradictions within
the various camps of imperialism

Some Problems in the Fight Against
the Developing World War

) cannot be considered, however, as;
factor delaying the war against
the Soviet Union and the PARTITION
ing Of China. The point has been
reached where the main effort is
being made by the imperialists to
find a solution first Of all by COM
mon hostile actions and war against
the Soviet Union. Tremendous
war mobilization, including the
preparation" of the so-called pub
lie opinion is now taking place for
this purpose. Every lie factory
against the Soviet Union is busily
pouring forth its poison to prepare
various sections Of the population
of the imperialist countries for the
war and to mobilize them in its sup
port.
Socialists Play War Games Of
their Masters
Above all, do the parties of the
Second International carry out the
war game of their imperialist mas
tiers in deceiving the masses and
involving them in a world slaugh-
ter. The social democracy in Ger
many, under the leadership of the
monarchist Hindenburg, is definitely
throwing all of its forces in the scale
of equalization to the French inn
perialist war plans and the complete
entry into the anti-Soviet front.
The British Labor Party is carry
ing through by means of its fake
opposition policy of complete sup
port and solidarity in deeds with
the Northumberland govern
ment, above all on all questions of
foreign policy.
The Japanese Socialists openly
endorse the Japanese imperialist
aggressions in Manchuria and China
as those who carry forward civil
cation"
Although the American Socialists
are not yet a governmental factor
like the German and British parties
of the Second International, al
ready they are increasingly becom-
ing part of the whole imperialist
state system. Morris Hillquit, the
oretical leader of the Socialist Party
of America, publically appears as
the attorney for the former Czarist
oil capitalists demanding the return
of the Baku oil fields to their
capitalist owners Norman Tho
mas, the mass" leader of American
Socialism, covers the imperialist
aggression against the Soviet Union
with pacifist phrases, while publicly
solidarizing himself with each spe-
cific vancouver of Hoover and with
the League of Nations-one of the
chief pacifist masks for war pre-
parations.
Abramovitch, one of the leaders
of the Second International and big
brother of Norman Thomas, writes
openly IN the whole Socialist press
melting to war against the Soviet
Union. A typical example is his
article published in the New York

Japan leads the military action in.
the first steps of war against the
Soviet Union, these revolutionary"
gentlemen rush forward with the
slogan, Don't fight against. Jap
anese imperialism, leave that for
the japanese workers. We must
only fight against American i'm
perialism." Only! 1t is not merely
confusion on the part of these cap
italist agents which is behind such
agitation. They, who disarm the
American proletariat in its battle
with the American capitalists I'M
derstand quite well their function,
which is to prevent the workers
from fighting against imperiahst
war in concrete form in any of
its phases and to deliver them
helpless to the American war lords.
japanese Imperialism Executioner
for World Imperialism
In the past months of japanese
imperialism's mass slaughter of
Chinese men, women and children,
of Japanese imperialism's moves
towards Siberia, it is no accident
that all of the pacifists and 80
cialists" who for years have been
trying to lull the watchfulneSs of
the workers by the assertion that
boycott can prevent an imperialist
war suddenly become the bitterest
enemise of the boycott movement,
which is an expression of the grow
ing indignation of the population
and the means of mobilizing the
broadcast sections against japanese
imperialiSt, the executioner for and
spearhead of world imperialism.
The Communist Party Leads
Struggles Against War
The real expression of the mass
anger against bloody japanese i'm
perialism was that given under the
leadership of the Communist Party
in the meetings and demonstrations
that have taken place throughout
the country, especially in Chicago
and Washington. 1t is further no
accident that this struggle against
the immediate imperialst agrees
sors, Japanese Imperialism, resulted
in especially vicious and bloody
suppression OF these demonstrations
by American police with the pro-
fuse thanks and appreciation of
Japanese ambassador and counsels.
Precisely because the Communist
Party is leading the American
working class in the struggle against
American Imperialism, that is is
playing leading role in organizing
the mass movement against Japan
csc Imperialism, which at this mo-
ment is ALREADY waging war
against the Chinese people and
openly moving against the workers

I am in a terrible situation.
I'm very much in love with a
boy two years older than I am.
I was going with him regularly;
for quite a while, and then
without really knowing why I
did it, returned everything l
had of his. Now 1 want him
back. Would you advise me
how to get him back? He used

Specialists who study our
emotions would have us believe
that love and hatred are curl

when you had an impulse to be
cruel, to punish, perhaps be-
cause you cared deeply, you
sent back all those little pos
sessions that meant so much to
you. And now you're sorry.

Cosmetics of all kinds have
been used by men, as well as
women, since the earliest known
times. In Egypt there was an
elaborate science of coSmet-
ology. Rouge, lipstick, hair
dye, powder and perfume were
all in daily use 5000 years ago.
From Egypt these customs were
imported into all Southern Eu-
ropean countries. The more
rugged and Warlike Northern
Europeans resisted their employ
ment until a comparatively
modern date. But to the north
ern Gauls must be given the
great credit of inventing the
best of all cosmetics, soap.
To the use of cosmetics there
have always been many vigor-
GUS objections. Some of these
are aesthetic-to the effect
that instead of beautifying the
user, they do just the oppo-
site. Some objections are ethi-
cal-to the effect that to pre-
tend that ones hair is light
yellow when it is really a dirty
brown is dishonest, and also
to the effect that to flaunt
so blatantly the desire to at
tract the opposite sex is some
what more than vulgar.
Neither the aesthetic nor the
ethical considerations of cos
metics are within my province.
AS a friend of mine said to
his wife: You can put any
thing you like on your face
if it will make you look any
bstter."
It may be said that most
cosmetics are harmless. Many
people are sensitive to some
of the chemicals used in cos
metics, but the effects seldom
go beyond a slight skin erup-
ton. Anyone using any kind
of cosmetic regularly should
think of this when a skin erup-

two or three substances ever
used in cosmetics which are

Manufacturers using these

ignorant of their dangers. A
preparation containing one is

time goes on and the event is

Such has been the experience
with thalliUm acetate as
