British Open a New
Trade War

Official Washington yesterday eX-
pressed increasing alarm as the Brit
ish Imperial Economic Conference
opened its trade war on the United
States and other imperialist rivals of
British imperialism,
The proposal by the Canadian
Premier Bennett to reduce tariffs
within the British Empire was recog-
nized as a direct blow against Amer
lean export trade. 1t was admitted
that such preferential treatment,
especially if made double-acting by
boosting duties on American goods,
could disrupt the whole struutcre Of
American export trade, which al
ready has suffered great losses as a
result of the devastating crisis of
world capitalism.
The Democrats are trying to ex-
plot the situation for their election
campaign with a belated attack on
the Smoot- Hawley high tariff act
which was passed for the benefit OF
the American bankers and manufac-
turers and greatly increased the cost
of living for the American masses
The tariff was supported by many
democrats.

Be Held in Paris

NEW YORK-A sharp letter of
protest by the famous French writer,
Henri Barbusse, assailing the muni-
cipal authorities of Geneva for pro-
hibiting the World Congress Against
War from meeting in Geneva on
the ground that sit was organized
by Communists" was made public to-
day by Theodore Dresser, chairman
of the American Committee.
Henri Barbusse, a member of the
international committee which initi-
ated the call for the World Congress

munists had organized the World

ALL OUT AUG. |

SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-Tom
Mooney today issued a statement cal
ling upon the working class to sup
port the international anti-war dem
onstration on August list. He points
out that one of the reasons he was
framed was because of his opposition
to the last world slaughter"
He calls upon the workers to link
the demonstrations on August 1st
with the demand for his freedom.
His message is as follows:
Comrades, Friends and Fellow I'm
ionists:-
"On August 1, when workers all
over the world are to make it ring
with. their protest against the at
tempts being made to plunge the
world into another war, you must not
forget to raise the demand for my
freedom.
On August l, 1 will already have
begun my seventeenth year in servi-
tude for crime which I never COM
mitted-the Preparedness Day ex-
plosion, July %, 1916. July 81, 1882,
marks the sixteen years of my i'm
prisonment-marks the sixteenth year
that has been stolen from my life
because Of my loyalty and devotion
to labor Like the majority of the
working class in San Francisco and
the United States I was opposed to
sending the working class to the
trenches to be slaughtered for the
sake of profits for Wall Street. This,
in addition to my general militant
activity on behalf of labor, was the
reason that the masters of finance
and industry had their hirelings
frame me for that terrible crime
against humanity.
