The National Committee Of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union did
not have any such big struggle to

the struggle to organize ships, and

Teacher Puts Lid on
Kids Questions About
Dictator for America

NIOTA,. Tenn.--My son in the 7th
Grade at the so-cafied free school
here was told by the teacher during
the election campaign that if this
election wasn't so near dictator
would be put in. So my boy said:
Then there wouldn't be any DEM
ocrat and Republican then, would
there teacher? She said she didn't
know which the dictator would be.
My son asked "Who puts in the die

said. Loew also pointed out that
workers were bribed with promises
Of high wages, only to be shot down
in the interest of the U. S. imperial
lists, such as the South American
Gulf Oil Co. Ia Mellon company
and the Caribe SYNDICATE Controlled
by j. P. Morgan.
Fritz Linge, German sailor and
one of the men who signed UP on
the Sea-F'ox told why he refused to

workers and to teach the Colombian
workers to shoot down their brothers

twelve of the best "to put the real

Marine Workers Union on Job
Vincent Mccormack of the Marine
Workers Industrial Union explained
that the union of which he is a mem
Der was the one to find out about
the equipping of the Sea-Fox and
pledged the support of the marine
workers in the struggle against i'm
perialist war.
A delegation of five was elected by
the meeting to make their protest to
the Superintendent. The gateman
refused them adnlittance, stating
that the superintendent had not yet
come in.
In reporting for the delegation,
William Simons, National Secretary
of the -Imperialist League and
delegate to the. Amsterdam World
Congress Against War showed that
the wars in South America are a
part of the struggle for world SUI
premacy between the United States
and Great Britain and a part of the
preparation for attack against the
Soviet Union.

class Of the United States he
added, Should do all in our power

The number of policemen on the
scene grew, but they did not dare to
attack the demonstration.
Significant Action
After the meeting before the Dry
dock, the workers marched in line
with raised placards to the Workers
Center at 1856 Fifteenth st., Brook
lyn, where Simons pointed out the
significance of the demonstration and
called for concrete organizational
work, for election of anti-war COM
mittees in the factories, on ships
and docks and mass organizations.
Let us build in this country a broad
united movement against war, on the
basis of the Manifesto Of the AM

Butte, Mont.
Comrades;
I do not agree with a worker who
wrote in that there we're about 5000
unemployed here. I have talked with
miners and they agree that only
about 400 are working regularly, and
so do the bourgeoisie admit about the
same figure. The writer did not tell
how many miners work for sIop.
There must be $4,000 jobless here.

Dealt with Economic Relations
The interview in question dealt
with the problem of the economic
relations between the United States
and the Soviet Union. Replying to
the question by Campbell concerning
guarantees for credit or loans to the
Soviet government by American
business men, Stain said:
There wasn't a single case when
the Soviet government or Soviet
economic institutions failed to meet
payments accurately Our agri-
culture, industry, trade, lumber, OIL
gold, platinum, etc.-this is the real
source of our payments. Therein is
also the guarantee of our payments"
On Propaganda
With reference to the question of
propaganda by the Soviet govern
ment, Stain stated in the interview:
Il must categorically state that
no one representative of the Soviet
government has the right to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of another
country, either directly or indirectly.
This respect is firm, and strict, in
structions are given the personnel of
our institutions in the United States.
If any one of our employees
should violate the strict instructions
about non-interference, he would
Immediately be recalled and pun
ished."
Replying to the question of Camp
bell concerning persons sowing dis
content and pro-Soyiet propaganda
in the United States, Stain stated:
Possibly pro-Soviet propaganda is
conducted in the United States by
members Of the American Commu-
mist Party. But this party is legal
in the United States, participating
legally in the election of the Presi-
dent, putting forth its candidate for
President, and quite naturally we
cannot interfere in your internal af-
fairs in this case"

ORNAMENTS FEED ON THE ~sREADLINES

The problem of disarmament has many angles of approach To
night I want to speak of but one. / want you to think for a moment
of ornaments in their relation to the industrial depression which, i'm
partially, among all the peoples, is causing s much privation and
distress and social discomfort Economic stability, it seems to me,
is an end to be sought no less than political security. At the moment,
indeed, it may be even more important.
/ begin with the war because the depression begins there What
we have all been slow to realize, think, is the material damage
wrought by that titanic conflict. We have thought of it a like all
other greater in extent, no doubt, O. severe in its results
but after all, essentially the samoan episode, dreadful in ITSELF but
without lasting effects. And it was not. We forgot that the wa was
waged, not by armies, but by whole peoples. We forgot that it was
waged in a new kind of world1 world in which the nations we're no
longer selfcontained and se1fsupportng units, but mutually depend
ent and bound together in an economic unity which, once destroyed,
cou1d not be easily IT rapidly replaced. And we forgot therefore that
sue a val could only end in exhaustion-that it had consumed a large
part of the liquid capital of the world, that it had disrupted trade and
commerce and ruined markets, and that it had left the economic mach
of the world, if not completely broken down, at least unable nor
o function. That was the situation in which we found ourselves
a dozen years ago.
And today, as a matter of course, we are reaping the consequences.
Tbore aa more men under arms than ever before, ornaments have
steadily increased, and the search for new and more effective means
and methods of destroying life and property goes on unwearied and
uncbecked Twothids of all the money governments raise by tax
today goes to pay for wars past and to come. Today, between
all while industry languishes and unemployment grows and the

TRACED 10 A DEMOCRAT

A pamphlet published by the George Washington bicenten-
NAL commission referred to President Washington as having
used profanity in a cabinet meeting. The statement was chal
lenged by F. Dumont Smith of hutchinson, Kan, on the Ameri
canization committee of the American Bar association. It is
now defended by Prof Albert Bushnell Hart, professor emeritus
of history at Harvard and historian for the commission.
Prof Hart reiterates the statement that Washington used
oaths when the occasion seemed to require them, and quotes
Thomas Jefferson, a member of Washingbon's cabinet, as auth
orty for the language in the meeting referred to.
Thank God, Washington was a human being!" says the
professor.
This probably settles the question. What Prof Hart re
Trains from saying is that very likely it was Jefferson himself
who drove Washington to it. Politics ran high in those days.

DESTROYING THE FARMERS MARKET

An article in the Chicago Tribune reads in part a S follows: "a
good milling demand, with advancing premiums for cash wheat is
creating a stronger market for futures and there is more disposition to
buy on all breaks than for several days past. The market, however,
ran into selling by commission houses and professionals" which
satisfied all buyers at times and caused sharp recessions."
ing to this article the natural demand for wheat would cause a n up
turn in prices excepting for one thing-the uncontrolled short sell
ing Of commission houses and professional spectators.
The grain growers Of this country are simply at the mercy of the
professional spectators so long as the Chicago Board of Trade per-
mts unrestricted short selling.
Short selling is selling something that you do not own. Anybody
with a ten dollar bill a sell a thousand bushels of wheat that he
Goes not own and which probably does not exist except on the books of
a commission house.
President Hoover is strongly opposed to this system, 1t is all
wrong and should be prohibited by law.
