by BILL dunno

Tnperialist war is raging in the
Far East. The seizure of Manchu-
ria by japanese imperialism and the
slaughter OF the Chinese soldiers,
workers and peasants defending
Shanghai, the mass butchery of
civilians, men, women and children,
are the beginning of new impe-
rialis5 world war for the redivision
of China and a subjugation Of the
SOVIET Union on whose eastern and
western frontiers imperialist armies
are massed.
The japanese armies are driving
toward the Soviet Frontier.
Already mobilization of Polish and
Rumanian armies has been followed
by the setting up of a state of
seige in their frontier areas. Their
munition factories work night and
day.
No effort is spared to form the
imperialist world front. The sharp
the growing world wide instability
OF capitalism themselves impel the
inperialists to see war against the
Soviet Union as a way out of the
world crisis.
Inperialist war has begun. I'M
perialist WORLD war impends. We
witness the massacre of thousands
of Communists, of Chinese workers
and peasants in Manchuria and
Shanghai, while defending their
country and the liberation move
ment from the imperialiSt invaders,
the Widespread military suppression
OF the national liberation movement
in China. The massacres of workers
and peasants in Latin America and
Africa, show clearly that this war,
like the last war, and all other i'm
perialist wars is directed against
the proletariat and the oppressed
national minorities, semi-colonial
and colonial peoples.

the power Of the revolutionary work
ing class to check and frustate their
war plots, plans and acts.
Never before have the class lines
been SO clearly drawn throughout
the world!
American imperialism is in the
worst crisis in its history So is world
capitalism. Side by side with the
continual and rapid downward trend
of production and exchange and the
impact OF the CREDIT crisis through
out the capitalist world, there is
the upsnrge OF the working class in
the capitalist countries and the rise
OF the national liberation revolutions
in the colonial and senli-colonial
countries. China, India, sections of
Latin America, etc..
The living and social standards
OF the entire American working class
have been lowered from 40 to 10 per
cent in the last three years through
mass unemployment, wage-cuts, and
part time w&b-the Hoover stagger
plan. Production continues to de-
cline, unemployment increases daily.
The army of unemployed has grown
to more than 100000.
The government of Wall Street
imperialism, headed by Hoover, has
not spent one single dollar for I'M
employment relief.
Hundreds of thousands of farm
ers are ruined and reduced to paup-
erism.
The republican and democratic
parties have entered into a closer
coalition against the American
workers and farmers. In Congress
their leaders unite to put over a
taxation program which raises the
price of practically every article
needed by the toiling masses Of
the population.
Initiation of the currency, through
a variety of measures, like the Fin
ance Reconstruction Corporation,
the legalizing for bank loans
of formerly unacceptable securities,
the power given to the Federal Re
serve banks to issue currency
against treasury notes, have the
result also of raising prices for the
masses of the industrial and agra
rian population
At the same time the progress
sives" of both parties vie with the
Socialists and A. F. of L. leaders
in demagogic deception OF the work
ing class and poor farmers. They
pave the way for outright betrayal
Of the masses to the imperialist
war machine.
New giant mergers Of already
huge corporations and banks are
and carried through,
still further centralizing the control
OF industry and finance in the
hands of the biggest capitalists,
working directly through their own
agents, like Ogden Mills, Secretary

Not a Sucker
The closest I ever came to a
winner in one of these things
was when I travelled to Ber-
muda a couple of years ago
with the Dougherty family.
That Brooklyn family, if you re-
member your newspaper stories,
consisted of Eddie and Danny
and dad. Eddie had purchased
a dollar ticket in the afore-
mentioned Canadian Sweep
stakes. And when his horse
had run first in the English
Derby, the Dougherty family
had collected $149,000.06.
AS you undoubtedly do not re
member. 1 did a story about
them at the time. You never
met three happier people than
Eddie and Danny and dad.
They had never enjoyed much
luxury before, and now they
were living to the hilt. I en-
joyed their company and I en-
joyed their PHILOSOPHERS. AS a
matter of fact, 1 received one
of the greatest kicks of my life
when I spoke to Eddie one
morning.
Tell me something, Eddie"
I said. They're selling tickets
now for next years Canadian
Sweepstakes. Are you going to
buy a ticket?"
The young man who had just
won almost $150,OOO never
blinked an eye.
81 should say not" he re-
piled very seriously. What do
you think I ana sucker?"
Both the Canadian and the
Irish Sweepstakes are drawn
under government supervision:
the former being held at st.
Johns, Newfoundland, and the
latter at Dublin, Ireland.

The Intimate Truth

One of the embarrassing fea-
lures of frank journalism is some
times it becomes necessary to
deny intimate bits of gossip, par
ticularly when they're not true.
So Dorothy Mackaill, who arrives
for a week of personal appear
ances at the Rialto Theater on
Saturday has officially put the
quietus on the story that she
would rush % Hollywood in the
very near future to welcome the
stork. It's not so and the star
forced to this public announce
ment to offset a rumor that was
nationally circulated. Her new
husband. Neil Miller, is with her
in the act which she will present

win great sums in such fash,
ion. But that seems to appeal
rather than frighten. Because
each buyer says to himself:
If l win, I'll be different"
Yes, indeed.
Here are a couple of winning
yarns that may interest you:
Out in Detroit a few years back.
a poker game was in session.
1t was a small game, but one
of the players went broke in
short order In his wallet h.
carried two tickets on the Ca
madam sweepstakes, and he of
fered to LEI them both go for
81 in cash. His offer was re-
fused. A week later, one of the
tickets won $4,000.
Gambling as Business
Another one concerns bird
who had never gambled at any
thing in his life. He finally in
vested a lonesome buck in one
of these lotteries and drew
down a large prize. He immedi-
ately quit his job, moved into
a hotel suit. and began to play
the ponies with a vengeanc
Gambling, he insisted, vas his
vocation-and he had never
known it until then. Within a
month he was broke. He
couldn't get his job back be-
cause of his gambling reputa-
ton. And I think he died a
suicide.
Then Inere was the gentle
man who won something like
$4,000 when Forbra won the
Grand National. After the
proper .apse the dough was
counted out to him in bills,
gold, silver and copper cents.
The money had been carefully
counted before it was brought
to his house, but the winner IN
sisted that there was something
wrong. He asserted that there
was a penny missing.
So the entire amount was
gone over once again. He
watched everything with eager
eyes and, when it was com
pleted. it was discovered that
the sum was not a penny short,
but 10 cents over. The winner
was in 9 centS-and he never
said a word about paying II
back!
He Gets Religion
1 coul1 go on indefinitely.
But I think I'll quit with the
actual case of the Hindu man
servant who hit the Calcutta
sweepstakes one year and came
into more than $5O0,000. He
Immediately saw a heavenly
hand in the transaction, so he
became the angel of new re,
Hgious sect that he thought
up all by his lonesome.
He found some followers and
built a magnificent temple.
When the temple was COM
pleted, all his money was gone
and so we're his followers. So
he now begs aims from pas
sengers on the Indian railways.
And hopes, propably, for an
other big winning so that he
can get more followers.
Being highly interested in
the subject, as you can readily
see, I asked the gentleman who
knows. what the United States
might realize, if it ever went
in for the supervision of lot
terieS. He smiled.
Our Government being as
hypocritical as it is" he assert
ed, "the thought is, of course.
ridiculous. But I'll be happy
to answer your question.
,"At a dollar a chance, and
with no opportunity for trick
cry of any sort, the Govern.
ment would probably take in
from $75,0O0,000 to 100000,
900 on any sporting event it
chose to cast in lottery form.
Operating expenses would run
to approximately 20 per cent.
Apportioning the prize money
on a reasonable scale, I should
say the Government would real
ize some $20,000,000 on each
lottery.

liam +. Sloan. consulting engi-
ncer of Chicago, to rebut sta
tisticS introduced by Public
Utilities Commission witnesses
at the hearing on phone rates.
Testimony of Sloan was chiefly
aimed at statistics advanced sew,

ing with the amount the COM
pany's capital account should be
reduced in allowing for deprecia,
ton.
The difference of opinion be-

used for rate reductions, depend,

Allowance for plant deprecia-
ton, according to Tate's testi-
mony, should cause a write-off
by the company of between ST.

swer to these statistics, the COM

ATTORNEY AIDS
BOY BEGGAR

John Hall, 10. of Lawrence,
Mass, was speeding homeWard
today from Washington through
the efforts of Atherton South
worth former attorney at the
Bureau of Internal Revenue,
whose attempts to befriend the
boy sent police of two States
on a hunt for him.
Expenses for the boys home
ward journey were borne by Mr.
SouthWorth, who today explained
how the boy happened to be
found on a farm near District
Heights. Md, Wednesday night.
Mr.. SouthWorth explained that
he saw the boy at Lawrence while
he was taking his wife to Maine
to recuperate from an illness. The
boy. he said, was begging pennies
on the road.
At Johns request, Mr.. South
worth said, he told the boy that
he would pick him up on his re-
turn journey and take him South
if the boys parents consented.
He gave the boy additional
money and clothes and found him
waiting at Lawrence when he
came through on his way to
Washington.
Mr.. Southworth said the boy
told him he had his parents con-
sent and he went with him to the
boys home where an older sister
helped him pack a few belongings
for the trip. Mr.. Southworth left
his address at the boys home, he
said.
