SWIMMING? THAT'S OUT


 Many waters have flowed past the finish lines sice Aileen, at IA, won the Olympic diving champion ship. but lately Aileen has not been cleaving her way through the waters as of old.
 After turning professional she toured the world, giving swimming exhibitions. In Paris she did an act with Johnny Weismuller. An other time, she toured with Cert rude Ederle, the channel swim mer. And it was all hard work more work, she says, than fun.
 Now" she says, I'm through with swimming, except for fun and exercise. I've lived swimming too long, and dancing is an exciting change"

Disarmament for
None But Germany
In Arms Cut Talks
Powers Maneuvering'
to Justify Their
Arms Race

LONDON, Sept. T. Representa-
tives of the major capitalist powers
at the coming Disarmament" Con-
ference are faced with the difficult
problem of justifying the arms race
in which they are engaged, and at
the same time finding arguments to
prevent Germany from openly enter
ing the race, too.
This was the chief subject of con-
versations yesterday between Norman
H. Davis, Roosevelt's representative,
and Sir John Simon, British Foreign
Secretary.
The main formula is not one of
disarmament, but of supervision of
ornaments" This is a device intend
ed to give the former Allies means
to inspect Germans arms plans and
check secret re-arming. This plan is
agreed to in principle by America,
Great Britain, and France, but it is
tied up with an argument as to
whether any actual disarmament
should even be discussed in connec-
ton with it. Thus the capitalist pow
ers are preparing to carry on a game
of words about disarmament" at the
conference, while using it as a means
to exercise pressure on Germany
without bringing up the question Of
their own disarmament.

The example given by Comrade
Dave Brown from Chicago ON the
behavior of some Party members
in the Unemployed Council shows
clearly how many of the Party
members, while accepting the Open
Letter, are following an opportunist
line in practice, fundamentally OPP
posed to the Open Letter. 1t also
shows that in a district like Chi
cago where the Open Letter was
discussed in the section member
ship meetings, in the units, ETC.,
that it has not become the real
guide Of the Party as a whole. i
shows that the discussion Of the
Open Letter is not over, that we
are only at the beginning and that
every activity, every situation must
be analysed by the section and
units in the light of the Open Let
ter.
Articles like the following which
show that there are many COM
Fades who grasp the full signifi-
canoe of the Open Letter, who
know how to utilize the Open Let
ter, as the instrument that can
guide their activities, are very well
come in the columns of the Daily
Worker. Such articles will help
the Party in moving forward along
the line of the Open Letter.

of the four Communists being framed
up in connection with the Reichstag
fire last February. These are Ernst

Popoff and Vassil Taneff.
This is-.Hays' second trip to Europe
this summer Early in August he
called upon Dr.. Teichert in Leipzig,
one of the lay, yers assigned by the
Nazis to- defend" the Communists.
Hays sought to see the defendants and
asked for copy Of the indictment,
but both requests were refused.
The trial of Torgler and the other
Communists is set for September 81,
and Hays will make an attempt to
take an active part in the defense,
and in any event plans to be an
observer.

We begin to notice a definite i'm

is great enthusiasm in the ranks OF
the Party for a concerted drive on
the shops in our Section. But this
enthusiasm lacks the necessary po-
litical clarity on the main issues
raised in the Open Letter. This is
because Of their failure to study the
Open Letter. AS a result, certain
dangerous tendencies have developed

Those buds of promise always get
nipped, but like the girl in the cock
ney song, the Liberals come back
again and again to lose their honest
name:

But she met an Army captain
And she lost her nyme agyne."
The outsider finds it difficult to
understand the psychology by which
old veterans of Socialism like Tschia-
kovsky could support the butchers
and armed Czarist adventurers who
were opposed to Socialism. But
think this paragraph of Bebel ex-
plains the mind Of the permanent lib
eral. There were hundreds of lib
erals and Socialists in the white
guard armies Of Yudenitch, Semenoff
and Kolchak. Some even worked
with the Japanese, British and other
invaders. Socialists! In the recent
great war they also fancied they
were running innings; the same Talk
OF a New Deal came up.
Men like Stuart Chase and Charles
w. Wood believed then and still be-
heve that Americas war priority
board was step toward socialism.
We are witnessing now another
hopeful rush Of liberals and Socialists
to Mira. Because liberalism breads
every real movement Of the masses,
1t always rests its hopes in the rulers,
who seemingly or actually make small
concessions TO It,"
