Leave Metal Tube

After tarrying a few minutes,
The party left its camera tripod at
the peak and started back. Five
hundred feet down among some
rocks, a metal tube containing the
names of the members of the party
and the date was cached for future
conquerors of the peak to look for.
The descent to the camp was
made in four hours over the same
route by which the mountain was
climbed by Archdeacon Hudson
Stuck and his party in 1912. 1t
was harder going than that over
which they had travelled in the as

The party rested in camp all day
May 8. On the following day it
assembled the north peak, which
required eight hours. Four hours
were consumed in the return trip
to the camp.
Thermometer is Found
Fifteen thousand feet up, Mr.
Strom said they found a minimum
temperature thermometer as it was
left by Archdeacon Stuck 20 years

with view to it's future recovery

WAGNER MAY RUN
FOR GOVERNOR
Voted to Give Billions
to Bankers

ALBANY, Oct. 2.-U. S. Senator
Robert F. Wagner, of New York City,
will be the keynote" speaker at the
Democratic state convention opening
tomorrow noon here, it was an
nounced by party leaders The choice
of Wagner, who in the Senate voted
to give billions to the bankers, while
his bill for "relief' to the unemployed
provided only forced labor and star
walton, shows that the Democratic
state machine has nothing to offer
the workers of New York State that
differs not one whit from the Hoover
hunger program.
1t is rumored that Wagner may
also be nominated for Governor at
this convention, and that Lieutenant
Governor Lehman, notorious for his
strike breaking plots with the labor
takers of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union, will take
Wagner's place in the Senate to carry
on the Hoover hunger program on a
national scale.

The committee consists of large
group of reactionary capitalist poll
ticianS and bankers who have eStab-
lished this organization, with ma
tiona1 headquarters in New York,
and who have announced, in a public
statement that they will fight the
ex-servicemen.
Oswald Garrison Willard, the sup
porter of Norman Thomas, has joined
the organizing committee of this
group, which includes Jules S. Bachs,
one of Wall Streets outstanding
financiers.
S. Stanwood Mencken, the moving
spirit behind this organization,
fathered the National Security
League, one of the earliest of the
anti-labor organizations in this coun-
try, and was its first president.
1.-THE fact that this outstanding
supporter of the Socialist Party has
openly lined up with the big bank
ers and capitalists against the fight
of the veterans proves conclusively
the correctness of our statements
that the Socialists, like the Repub-
licans and Democrats, are against the
payment of the vets back wages"
said Emanuel Levin, National Chair
man of the Workers Ex-Service-
mems League.
"The only poli.ica party sup
porting and orgs 1izing the veter-
ans for this fight is the Commu-
mist Party" declared the vet leader.
In connection with the prepara-
tons that are now being made by
the National Veterans Rank and
File Committee for the nationwide
march to Washington Dec. to de-
mand full and immediate cash pay
ment of the so-called bonus, a vigor-
Gus fight will be launched by the
committee in every section of the
country for real veterans relief.
Legion Forced Labor
American Legion officials working
hand in hand with the starvation
city governments throughout the
land have established policy of
forced labor for the unemployed ex-
servicemen. Veterans in many cities,
and especially in the city of Buffalo,
are forced to do days hard labor
for the few miserable pennies worth
of so-called relief that is dealt out to
them under the direction of the le-
gion leaders. For every cent of this
relief that the veterans receive
they are forced to sign papers agree
ing to pay back twofold the amount
in cash when they get job.
S. j. SLENDER, one of the leaders of
the recent vets march to Washington
and member of the National Veterans
Rank and File Committee, said today
that the Rank and File Committee,
which will lead the march to the
capital in December, will fight
against this forced labor policy until
it is abolished.

LEAGUES REPORT
SUPPORTS JAPAN
u. S. Imperialism to
Speed War Plans

GENEVA, Oct. 1.-THE League Of
Nations report on Manchuria pub
lished today supports the Japanese
seizure of Manchuria in the interests
of establishing a war base against the
Soviet Union. Yet the report openly
admits that Japan's military action
cannot be regarded as measures for
legitimate self defense" The report
calls for the recognition of Japan's
interests in Manchuria on the basis
of the present situation.
At the same time the report opens
the way for joint action of Japan,
the European powers and U. S. i'm
perialism against the Soviet Union by
insisting that the Kellogg Pact and
the Nine-Power Treaty be adhered
to. Despite the fact that the U. S..
8. r. has signed the Kellogg Pact,
the U. S. has been using this pact to
Build UP an anti-soviet front Thus
the way is left open for the U. S. to
continue its anti-soviet maneuvers
while at the same time it strives to
strengthen itself at the expense of
its rival Japanese imperialism.
The report makes bluff at treat
4ng Japan and China as equal parties
while at the same time it supports
the Japanese position for an "auton-
omous" Manchuria under Japanese
control Hence the report stands for
the dismemberment of China and the
apportioning of the various territories
to the big imperialist powers.
The Japanese Government is re-
ported highly pleased with the report,
while at the same time determined to
ignore the mild criticism of its mill
tary aggressions in China and to
maintain the puppet Manchoukuo
government it has set up in Man
churia.
F, For the U. S. workers it means
that the war danger has grown more
acute. In the first place the danger
of an attack against the Soviet Union
and in the second place the danger
of an inner imperialist war; particu-
larly between the United States and
tJapan

hung up the ship two days at Gil
braltar seem to have spoiled that.
Meanwhile the Republicans, having
made their deal with Tammany, a
slap in the face for Roosevelt, to di-
vide the judgeships, are moving to-
wards setting up for formal and
half-hearted opposition candidate to
Mckee and (probably) Walker, and
the Socialist Party Candidate Hill
quit assures the capitalists that his
election will mot make much of a
change. His job is to be a conduct
ing cable to draw away the current
of workers resentment to starvation
into safe channels harmless to the
capitalist system.

Drive to Put Over Hoover.
"A gigantic campaign is being or
gained" said Foster, shat already
begins to take shape, to place again
at the head of the American gov
eminent the most discredited and
popularly-hated figure that American
political life has seen in several gen.
erations. The move towards a split
of the Democratic Party which is be-
ing engineered by the Smith Young
Baker-Raskob-S house- Tammany COM
blnation and which if successfully
completed will probably re-elect Hoo
yer, is certainly not based upon any
fear of Roosevelt's program. If
there were any doubts anywhere that
Roosevelt's program is the same as
Hoover's on all essential questions.
these doubts must have been dispel-
led by Roosevelt's speeches in the
last weeks. They fight
most bitterly, but only over the d.
vision Of the loot provided by COM
mon bandit program. 1t is precisely
this absence of even any serious diff
ference between the main capitalist
groups on these questions which has
made it possible for the projected bolt
of the Smith Democrats to make as
much progress as it has"
Bosses Don't Fear Roosevelt.
THE motive for this move is not
fear of Roosevelt's program, but fear
of the anger Of the hungry, disillu-
stoned masses who have been led to
hope for a new heaven on earth as
result of Roosevelt's election and who
would be Immediately faced with a
complete reproduction of the Hoover
program if Roosevelt should occupy
the White House on March 4th."
Not the least important phase of
this high political maneuvering in
wolves the Socialist Party. Both Re-
publican and Democratic Parties have
agreed upon and are carrying through
a campaign to build up the Socialist
Party and Norman Thomas in this
election. This is assuming enormous
proportions. The amount of favorable
publicity being given to Norman Tho
mas by the Republican and Democratic
Parties throughout the country is UNI
precedented. The Socialist Party,
which is almost completely without
any press of its own, has been pre-
sented free Of charge with millions of
dollars worth of publicity by the cap
italist press. Norman Thomas is
openly praised by the most conserva-
tive journals as the peer Of Hoover and
Roosevelt.
