Odland gets under way and gives an
exemplification of Tennyson's brook
With this gift of narration goes
marvellous memory. When he
was principal of the Deerf1eld
high school soon after graduation,
he introduced a stimulating di-
version in school work there in
the form of storytelling. AS an
exercise model, he took at one
time Robert Louis Stevenson's
story, Twill of the MILL" This
somewhat long story Mr.. Odland
repeated from memory, not in
Stevenson's words, but his own,
with all its details and effective
touches, a performance that
struck his hearers with wonder at
the time and is still recalled by
them.
Reviewers, in general, rightly say
that Mr.. Odland has done a valuable
service in the field of Norse-Ameri-
can history in writing "The new Ca
man."

ton of U. S. Masses

LONDON, July 13-Great Brit
ain today rejected emphatically the
Roosevelt proposal that was put be-
fore the economic commission of
the World Economic Conference for
an internationally coordinated pro-
gram of public works"
The proceedings of all the com
missions reflects the paralysis that
grips the conference itself. Walter
Runciman, president of the British
board of trade, informed the dele
gates that England could not and
would not JOIN any experiments of
that nature
Deception for American Masses.
From the first the proposals for
an international public works pro-
gram have not been regarded as
seriously put forth. They are rec
ognized as propaganda for con-
sumption Of the American masses in
an effort to make it appear that the
Roosevelt slave code applied in the
United States are panaceas that can
be applied throughout the world. 1t
also indicates that the Roosevelt
government will try to explain the
failure of its own recovery" pro-
gram at home by blaming 1t on the
fact that other nations of the world
would not follow the United
States This will serve the purpose
OF trying to mobilize sentiment in
the United States against the i'm
perialist rivals of Wall Street-a
sentiment that may be turned in
any direction to suit the American
ruling class that is driving toward
imperialist war.
Proposal Definitely Killed.
The proposal for international
public works was very effectively
killed when H. Collin of Holland
proposed and succeeded in getting
accepted a resolut,Gn not to e5tlb-
Lsh a subcommittee on public
works until the monetary commits
SION is in a position to JOIN lis in
that work" Since no agreement on
currency is possible that means the

Thousands of Soviet
Working Women Meet
for Zetkin Memorial

MOSCOW. Thousands of working
women met on July IN the great
Moscow Park of Culture TO honor the
memory of Clara Zetkin, Speaking
of Comrade Clara zetkins revolu-
tionary life and struggles, Nikol-
ayeva said: when Soviet working
women came to Clara zetkin, she
asked them endless Questions about
life in the factories and collectives,
about their new lives under socialism.
She dreamed of journey to Mag
nitogorsk, to Dnieprostroy, to the col
lective farms CT North Caucasus, the
lower Volga district, and Central Asia.
She wanted to report to the working
men and women of Germany on these
mighty achievements of socialist con-
struction." The meeting sent mes
sage of greeting to the Central Com
nittee of the German Communist
Party.

"Thsy certainly are. They are los

cially since the latter have no more

ers had political power they also con-
trolled a lot of city jobs, as along
the Hamburg waterfront, and try to
use them to bride and corrupt the
masses No the socialist leader-ras-
calls have their deserts. One of them
was the Hamburg chief of police,
Schoenfelder, and he prosecuted the
Communists without mercy. The
Nazis have just put this scoundrel
in Jail but it is too much to hope
chat they will keep him there. Hitler
needs fellows of that stamp. But the

Hamburg looks prosperous in its
shopping centre, a cleaner and more
spacious Fifth Avenue, with less traf-

traders grumble and the economic

You know what many Italian work

GHANDI ENDS HIS
SHAM OPPOSITION
TO IMPERIALISM
Congress Party Meet
to Accept British Plot

POONA, India, July 13.-Mahatma
Gandhi, now meeting here at the
Indian Congress Party conference is
about to make open peace with Brit
ish Imperialism.
Here at the pc sent time a secret
meeting of the india Congress Party
is going on, under the leadership of
Gandhi At previous sessions OF the
Congress Party, the hearings were
public in order to sive the masses the
impression that the rich Nationalist
leaders and tt.jr misled supporters
were leading the fight for midas in
dependence. Nov the gatherings are
strictly private. Nj capitalist news
papers here carry the view that Gan
dhi is about to make complete, open
peace with the British government,
and to accept aid cooperate n put

To End Civil Disobedience
Gandhi is declared ready to with
draw the civil disobedicnce order. z be
civil disobedience campaign which
was started in 1929 by Cardhi was
q move to head off the rising tide of
struggles OF the peasartry against the
rich landowners and to switch the
strike wave into peaceful and inef-
fective channels Gandhi told the
masses to disobey particularly the law
providing Tor tax on salt, and called
for boycotting of British cotton. In
tbs matter of salt, Gandhi made
vaudeville trips to the seaside 10 cook
a few spoonfuls of salt as a demon
stration of civil disobedience." The
cotton boycott aided the Indian cot
ton mill owners, and was used as a
preteXt to keep the Indian wage slaves
in the mills and not on strike
Gandhis latest betrayal will I'M
doubtedly be followed by the usual
interview with the British viceroy and
another pact agreeable to the imper-
ialist eXploiters.
In the meanwhile the trade union
leaders who led the strike struggles
are rotting in Meerut prison. Over
$4,000 Indian workers and peasants
fill the jsils. when the Gandhi truce
is signed. only the Nationalist sup
portsrs will be released, but the rep
resentatives of the Indian peasants
and workers will be kept in prison.
Gandhi's latest move will not STOP
the struggle for midas independence,
but is step forward to his exposure
in The eyes of India's toiling masses.

A cable dispatch to the New York

its Shanghai correspondent, Victor

Invites Japan to Take Chahar."
The Opposite Effect
Tuesday" says Keen, the Chris
tian generals private war, which
he says is for the purpose of recap
turing Dolonor and expelling the
japanese and Manchukuan troops,
is likely to have the opposite effect
of providing the Japanese with a
good excuse TO occupy the whole of

japanese policy in Manchuria and

stress on the strategic position of
Inner and Outer Mongolia for at

The Tanaka memorandum was
dawn up by Premier Tanaka and
presented to the emperor of Japan
in 1927. One OF the most openly

come to light, the memorandum fully
outlined the present war policy of

American Visitor Finds
Militancy High On
Waterfront
BY JOHN r. MCMAHON

HAMBURG,-This the second 1arg-
est city of NaH terror in Germany.
Here the sun shines but faces are
glun, there is surface cleanliness with
inner depression, nobody dares speak
out to his fellow nor TO join a crowd
of three or four persons lest bullets
fly from hands OF brown shirt hood
lumS.
I heard little boy cry but no
laughter of children. 1 saw a band
of nine or ten-year- storm troop
ers armed with small clubs attack a
group of workers kids who retreated,
but rallied in culvert to pick up
missiles. Here amid the most adj
vanced engineering equipment of any
harbor city in the world 1 saw youth
cooperate with dog to propel milk
cart, and three young men literally
harnessed together to haul wagon
loaded with paving stones.
This dismal, fear-ridden city sud-
denly came to life at nightfall on the
waterfront.
