Here are some facts which may
have some bearing on the sincerity
Of the capitalist countries which
have been talking peace for so long.
In 1914, the United States had
8 military airplanes.
Today, it has over 10000.
In 1918, the United States had
$50 tanks.
Today, it has over 5000.
Getting ready, apparently, for a
nice long era of peace.
The other day we printed a
piece of joyous news about General
Pershing's $4,000 year pension.
Here is another scorcher. The
following patriots contributed
$1,000 or more to the National
Economy League which was so
active in getting the compensation
Of the war veterans reduced:
edward Hardness of the Stand
ard Oil Company ....... $1,000
John D. Rockefeller. Jr.,. $4,000
Mrs. Marshall Field $4,000
Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim. $1,000
There are many more such.

Columbia University has let US in

carry the report that Nicholas, Nj
rsculous does not think that stu
dents are an important part Of
university.

doctrine in practice.
Big endowments? Yes. Fine new
buildings and big annual banquets
for the Board of Trustees. But
students? Pooh. All they have to
do is pay fees and do as they are
told.
A worker, H. c., in one of the
Wall Street brokerage offices,
sent US the following letter;
Gan order to buy $1,0O0,0O0 of
Czarist bonds on the New York
market. The order comes from En-
gland. The name of the buyer is
not disclosed, but the order is TO
be executed by trading company
organized by prominent financial
interests connected with the bank
Of England. Czarist bonds gen
orally rise with the increase of ru-
mors of war against the Soviet
Union"
The international wolves are
sharpening their teeth against the
Workers Republic. And the inter
national jackals are sharpening
their appetites for rich pickings.
But they'll get the surprise of
their lives when they try it.
The movie critic of the Daily
Worker commented on the fact
that Kuhle Wampe, the new Ger
man movie about the unemployed
German workers, differs from the
usual Hollywood Carlo love scene.
The movie critic of the New York
Times is disappointed with the film
because it does not contain any
real love scenes in the Hollywood
style.
That is the difference getween
good movie critic and capitalist
hack who misses his daily excite

Here is an example OF govern.
rent in the capitalist style. The
papers report that
After defeating three local bills
sponsored by Aldermanic President
Joseph V. Mckee yesterday, the
Tammany- controlled bloc in the
Board of Estimate placed the
stamp Of approval on three other
measures sponsored by Mayor
O'Brien, which contained no es-
sential difference from the Mckee
bills"

difference as the Mckee bills.
