Cuban workers.
In this town we have all the
workers uni tie d in syndicates
(unions) and in this week we united
them in a Regional Federation of
all workers of different industry.
This town has 5000 workers from
different Offices organized.
THE Cuban Communist Party

The Admiral Calls for War

THE danger of empty peace" talk is beautifully
shown by the contrast between the way the Four
Power Pact was hailed instrument of European
peace at the time it sgned-and the brutally
frank disclosures of Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske re-
garding the true aim of the Four-Power Pact between
England, France, Germany and Italy
Speaking for the violently anti-Bolshevik National
Security League the radio Saturday night Admiral
Fske called for and predicted that these four nations
would band together for war against the Soviet Union
and hailed the Pact as an instrument which makes it
possible to resist by force the actual threat of Com
munistic Russia to overwhelm Europe"
Fiske also welcomed the re-armng of Fascist Ger
many because it is potential dixie against the red
tide of Communism" This links up very neatly with
the notorious Hugenberg Memorandum presented by
the Hitler government at the London Economic Con-
ference which proposed that Germany be given back
the Polish Corridor reimburSng Poland for the loss
with huge slice of the Soviet Ukraine
The professional warmaker Fiske wants anti
Soviet Holy War because Russia is threatening the
existing conditions of social and political life in
Europe Yes the very existence of the Soviet Union,
where the workers rule threatens the very foundations
OF capitalist oppression in Europe throughout the
world Therefore Fiske openly proposes joint
against the Soviet Union saying THE only way to stop
the spread of Communism is to meet force with force
Now how is Europe going to stop it?" he went on.
eThe Four-Power Pact seems the immediate answer,
with Japan assisting on the eastern side. Such a
is possible is in fact more than possible" Admiral
Fiske gives the show away.
HE ADMITS that the antagonism of the capitalist
~ powers to the growing Soviet Union and to Com
munism is far stronger than any dssensions between
item, either between the United States and Japan
or between France and Italy
The Four-Power Pact is actual instrument which
makes it possible for Germany, France, Italy and
Britain to resist by force the actual threat of Com
munistc Russia to overwhelm Europe" Fiske
peated.
Fishes call TO against the Soviet Union is
summons to the real opponents of imperialist
the working of America and all sincere fighters
against war-to join up for resoute, unflinching
struggle against the imminent danger of war and for
the defense of the Soviet Union.

soaring in the air for eight hours
and fifteen minutes the giant balloon,
200 feet high, a1ighted gently at 5
pm. on the bank of the Moscow
River nst of the Koloma industrial
works.
About 1000 workers and collective
farmers from the adjacent country
side assembled to greet the STRAIT
ostat." George Prokofleff, commander
Of the balloon crew, climbed to the
top of the goildola and gave the
workers his impressions of the flight.
The successful 12-nnile record flight
has been greeted with tremendous
enthusiasm by the whole Soviet
Union. The official paragraphs in
dictate that Prof. Auguste Piccard's
previous stratosphere record had been
beaten Sc minutes after the start.
The crew of the balloon was in con-
slant radio communication with Sow
let air officials on the ground, notify
ing them by radio when they reached
the peak of the flight.
Reached, $1,000 Feet
The peak height reached by the
balloon was 11.8 miles or over $1,000
feet. Ernest Birnbaum and Constan-
tine Godunoff, the other two aviators
in the record breaking balloon crew,
reported that the lowest temperature
registered outside the balloon was SO
degrees below zero, while the balloon

suits in a temperature of Sc degrees
At the top altitude reached, the
outside air pressure dropped to less
than one-fifteenth of the barometer
reading at ground level. The bal
loon carried enough liquid oxygen in
the alright gondola which was fitted
with nine plate-glass windows for
observations, to keep the baloonists
alive for 40 sl1ours.
Flight Made For Science
The flight, which was made for
scientific purposes and not to es-
tahlish any height records. according
to the aviators, proved the correct
ness of all the preliminary computa-
tions. 1t also demonstrated the pos
sibility of establishing regular scien-
tific observations in the stratosphere,
the layer of ultra thin air above the
ten-mile height level
Prokcfieff stated that he was GER
tain that the flight may be repeated
under winter conditions.
Balloon All Soviet-Made
The whole stratosptere balloon,
the apparatus and all the instruments
used, manufactured in Soviet factor
les, demonstrated their excellent
workmanship and quality
The aviators said that they sue
ceeded in fully accomplishing the
outlined program of scientific OBJ
servations during the flight. They
added that they felt excellent
throughout the flight. and stated that
they were quite ready to repeat the
performance.

Life on Soviet Ship
Vividly Described
by American Youth
81 Saw With My Own
Eys What Daily Has
Told Us Many Tines


A young American worker, travel
ing to the Soviet Union by way of
Asia, has written a letter to friend
here telling of his experience on board
the Soviet ship. "Chicherin. The
letter follows:
On Board the Soviet Ship,
"Chicherin"
Dear Comrade-
l know that you would like to know
what is happening on this ship, but
I can't tell you all-there is so much.
Fifty three men working, studying,
attending Party meetings, reading,
eating and trying to talk little
English makes a busy day.
Yesterday saw for the first time
what the Daily Worker keeps saying
on the first page. The Soviet work
ers are prepared. Twenty men
marched on the top deck in military
formation, donned gas masks and
trotted around for ten minutes. Then
came class in gunnery. This is a
passenger boat, not warship.
Say, you should see the eats they
give us-pastry and caviar every DAY,
seven-course dinners and suppers.
All the food excepting the fruits come
from the Soviet and it tastes just
like my mothers cooking. I never
expected such grand meals. And
white bread all the time on clean
tablecloths with Lenin looking down
on us approvingly. In fact, every
one on this ship eats from the same
kitchen and the food is great.
If you remember, I sent you some
news about printers strike in Syria.
Well, they won it and it was a great
victory for the Communist Party OF
Syria.
Comradely yours.

OFF The Blackboard
BY VERN BOXELL

Bearcats in convincing fashion a
few days back, but jolly was sold
on Kokomo before that tilt. All the
Wildcats needed from the start was
a big center who could hit the
bucket with some regularity, and
the gods must have heard Paul
Cross pleas. A towering youngster
Ellers by name and six foot, four
inches up in the air, came gallop-
ing over from Flora. Since then
no one has been pooh-poohing Ko-
komO.
While Jolly admits that the Wild
cats are superior to his Bearcats, he
opines that Logansport isn't so hot
and that the Muncies would make
the Berries say uncle" if they ever
got together on a neutral hardwood
Since your correspondent has not
glimmered Kokomo, B. E. or A. E
before or after Eller), Mr.. Jolly's
statement about the boys from
Wildcat creek will go unchallenged
But ole Blackboard will square of
for an argument with anybody who
thinks Logansport isn't so hot.
