S1l,5OO,OOO FOR
WAR AIRPLANES
Yet Govt Refuses A
Cent for Jobless

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-
The Wall Street Government
is preparing to spend $11, $780,
600 for new military planes
within the next six months at
the same time that it refuses
to give cent for unemployment in
surance. The planes are to be of
the very latest design and of the
greatest effectiveness in spreading
death and devastation Delivery
of all the planes will be required
before the end of June, 1888.
Wars Already Raging.
This program of rapid expansion
of the air forces is part of the ex-
tensive war preparations of U. S.
imperialism occurring on the back
ground of the deepening economic
crisis, the fiercely raging struggle
with British and French imperialism
over the war debts, the tariff war,
and the struggle for markets, al
ready in the armed stage in South
America.
The native puppets of U. S. and
British imperialism in So. America
have already plunged several coun-
tries into the undeclared wars in the
Gran Chaca, between Bolivia and
Paraguay. and in the Putumayo re-
gion, between Peru on one hand and
Eucador and Colombia.
Build War Ships.
The U. S. Government has also
awarded the construction for a new
cruiser of 10000 tons to the Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding Corp. of Quincy.
The government has also been push
ing alterations on u S. warships to
increase their effectiveness.

Down Stairs by Mr..
Harvey

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 23.-
Mary Kandell was beaten and
thrown down the stairs of the Re-
lief Station at 269 Schermerhorn St.,
Brooklyn, when she came to voice
the demands of several destitute Ne
gro families for immediate relief.
The attack was made by Mr.. Har-
ney, head of the station, at the
moment when Mary Kandell was
protesting the treatment of Mrs.
Smith, 56-year- old widow, at 1913
Willoughby st.
Sent to Flop House.
On hearing that the husband OF
Mrs. Smith is dead and she is
alone, Mr.. Harvey refused to do any
thing for her and directed her to go
to the Bowery. 81 will sit in the
park first" said Mrs. Smith, who
has been working all her life, but
has been unable to find a job since
last August.
Mrs. Smith owes two months rent
and expects to be evicted any day.
There is no fire in her room and
nothing to eat. When Mary Kan

provide immediate relief, the station
thug twisted her arm and attempted
to throw her down the stairs, where
upon both fell.

BareS Child
Alone, in Cold,
Bare Room

NEW YoRK.-A worker writes to
the Daily Worker:
"T was canvassing yesterday with
the Daily Worker, and came to 173
Moore St., Brooklyn A Negro wo-
man tenant was lying in bed. The
door was open, because she could not
get up to go to it.
"She was trying to give birth to a
child"
"The room was bare and terribly
cold. There was no steam on.
II found out her husband was in
the hospital, and there was no one
to help her.
Seeing her in such pain, asked
her if she wanted me to call an
ambulance. She asked to please do
so as quickly as possible.
II went out and called in some
neigl-bors, and went out again and
tried to find a cop.
Go Back and Watt
AFTER walking four or five blocks,
I found one of those guys who are
SO plentiful when we are stopping
evictions or forcing the Home Relief
Bureau to give out little more.
THE policeman told me to go back
and wait with the woman and that
he would send the ambulance.
After waiting as minutes, We call
ed another ambulance, since none
came. While I was out calling. the
woman was in such pain that she
fell on the floor.
Finally an ambulance and doctor
came. He put the woman back in
the bed. and then said that there
was nothing to 90 because she was
not going to have the baby soon.
Doctor Deserted Case
HE went away leaving the woman
there in the cold fat without even
giving her any advice
I'VE got a committee and went
down to the Home Relief Bureau
and demanded an ambulance to take
the woman to a hospital At first
they said they had nothing to do
with such things, but finally they
called the police again, and finally
an ambulance came.
But when we returned to the
house, the child was born and the
woman was nearly dead.
Both were taken to the hospital,
and we are not satisfied that she
will be treated any differently than
she was being treated
1--WE are going to send a commit
tee to the hospital to see."

Students and arresting two, police at
tackled a demonstration of 1900 stud
ents protesting to the Polish Consul
ate yesterday afternoon against pro-

China turned out to be true-a ru-
NOR which French Ambassador
Claudel, in Washington, has taken
particular pains to deny.
For years the japanese budget
has been balanced by borrowing. At
home she would find it increasingly
difficult to raise the necessary
loans. Business has been bad for
years. and reconstruction following
the earthquake which destroyed
Yokohama and Toxic has cost
heavily.
Like Great Britain, Japan's in
dustrial and business machine de-
pends upon foreign trade. But, also
like Great Britain, when her foreign
trade slumps appreciably, the effect
is felt from top to bottom Of jap
anese society.
Already this trade is suffering
badly. The United States and
China are by far and away her
principal markets, and 1881 saw
huge sales decreases in both fields.
War, strangling her foreign trade,
would doom Japan unless, Of
course, she could count on some
very powerful ally or allies for sup
port. Her public debt has doubled
in the last ten years. Her two-thirds
