War Nearing With
Speed Of Express
Train, Says Writer
Warns Bosses Workers
Will Turn It Into
Civil War

NEW YORK.-Warning the Amer
ican capitalists that a new world war
is threatening and that the war
would end in a defeat for capitalism
and a victory for Communism, Sisley
Huddleston, famous author and writer
on international topics gave press
interview or his arrival here Sunday
on the liner Manhattan.
He described the capitalist nations
speeding to war like express trains
headed for a huge smash.
Huddleston said that war could be
avoided" if the capitalist statesmen
would see the dangers that face them
and come to an agreement. He, how
ever, failed to mention that this
agreement would be for war against
the Soviet Union.
In the next war said Huddles-
ton, victories mean nothing. At best
they win be kind of drug for the
people suffering under the horrors
of modern warfare.
There is no doubt in my mind
that every nation participating would
come to Communism at the end of
the war. Europe would be Red from
the Urals to the North Sea and from
the Baltic to the Mediterranean
In order to encourage the capitalists
in the war effort against the Soviet
Union, Mr. Huddleston declared that
Russia is not stron in a military
sense"

Building Workers
Demand Union Pay
on C.W.A. Projects
Boston AFL Members
Send Delegation
to Washington

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 25.-At q
one-day special convention of the
State Building Trades, A. F. of L., to
discuss the Recovery Program, it was
reported by the 100 delegates that
union wages and conditions do not
prevail on C.WA. jobs. No militant
action was taken by the A. r. of l..
leaders. The only action of these
leaders was the passing of q resolu-
ton to send delegation to Wash
ington to get a decision as to the
classification and wage scale.
There were over 100 delegates from
the entire state attending. including
many rank and filers, who are on
the welfare, on C.W.A. jobs, or who
are looking for jobs. The conven-
tion, however, was controlled by the
A. F. of L. misieaders like johnson,
secretary of the Boston building
trades, and J. J. Meehan and Bob
Watts.
Workers Delegations to ALL.
Leaders
The reports from most of the out
,ying towns and cities, including Eos-
ton, YVES as follows: That wages Of
skilled mechanics are so cents and
up; that local C.W.A. heads are pay
ing less than $1.20 for skilled workers
in spite of the fact that Bartlett,
State C.W.A. head, was forced by the
workers demands to wire all C.W.A.
administrators that the s1.20 rate
should be paid.
The reports showed that the State
A. F. of L. Is being flooded with pro-
tests and daily visited by workers
delegations, bringing complaints of
violations by the C.W.A.
It was reported that all men who
are being put to work are being sent
through city councillors and politf-
clans who are building up machines
for themselves. The members of the
A. F. Of L., it was stated, are being
put to work only in very small num-
bers.
The building trades A.F.L. leaders
are in very precariouS position. They
have time and again glorified the
N.R.A. and been able to fool the
workers about the great break they
will get under Section Ia. But the
limit came with this C.W.A. work.
1t turns out that not only didn't the
A. F. of L. get the right to organize
and keep the organization, but a
members of the A. F. Of L. is the
last one to get C.W.A. work, and
then you have to be on the welfare.
There are now more on the well
fare than before the C.W.A. started.
In Boston there were $4,000 welfare
recipients. About $4,000 were sup
posed to go on C.W.A. jobs. Now
there are about $4,000 to $4,000 on
the welfare. The A. F. of L. members
want to know why. The unorganized
and the A. F. Of L. rank and file
must unite to demand union condi-
tionS on C.W.A. Jobs.

Facts of H eavy
Arms Shipments

Il PARIS, Dec. 25.-A master
h exposure of French military
and war preparations, especi-
ally the help of French i'm
perialism to Japan in it's war plot
tings against the Soviet Union, is
contained in a series of questions
published in the latest number OF the
Official journal by the Communist
Deputy, Jacques Doriot
Comrade Doriot, who is known for
his brilliant exposes and fight against
the war preparations Of French i'm
perialisn, put the following ques-
tions:
"First, what ornaments firms are
now working for Japan?"
He adds to this question the fact
that from 1882 to 1888 the export of
arms, powder and munitions from
France to Japan have increased from
2eog312 pounds to 384.444 pounds.
The value of arms shipped from
France increased from 10,786,000
francs in 1882 to 25,l2o,0oO francs in
1898.
Eze declared that the French arnaa-
ment industry is cooperating very
powerfully with Japanese irnperial-
ism in preparation Of war in the Far
East.
The second question put by Doriot
asks the government ministry what
means are being taken to reduce
this activity, which is harmful to
peace
Quoting official government statis-
ties, Conrade Doriot shows that
France is shipping ten times more
steel and iron to Japan, mainly for
w,cr Eurpcsee.

ThaeImann's Spirit
Unbroken in Nazi
Dungeon in Berlin
German Rea Leader
Kept from Mingling
With Prisoners

BERLIN, Dec. 19. (By MaiD.-
Erst Thaelmann, general secretary
of the Communist Party of Ger
many, is in the fascist jail in Moa-
bit here, his spirit unbrcken.
Thaelmann, according to authen-
tic sources, is deprived of his priyi-
lege Of walking with fellow political
prisoners in the courtyard of the
jail. Several workers recently pas
sing through the prison yard on
their way to be examined encoun-
tered Thaelmann. Silently they
raised their fists in the Red Front
salute. Thaelmann responded with
the same greetings.
Thaelmann refused special privi-
leges from the Jail authorities and
demanded he be served the same
food given the other prisoners and
that he go through the same rou-
tine.
The special privileges are seen as
attempts to create the impress on
at Thaolmonn's coming trial that
he was well treated in the fascist
iail,

MOSCOW, Dec. ID. - (By
Radio). - The 'Pravda," of
ficial organ of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union, to-
lay on the defeat of German
fascism in the Leipzig Court,
"The Court verdict in the case OF
the Reichstag arson case bears a
vivid imprint of cheap staging which
will always be included in the his
tory of the class struggle under the
name of the Leipzig Trial"
The Reichstag arson combined the
greatest forgeries and provocations
committed against the Communist
Party by the ruling class in the last
decade. The forgery arose simul-
taneously with the arson. The one
predetermined the other. The for
garies Of the Leipzig trial, which ex-
ceeded the notorious historic for
geries of the Dreyfus case in France,
and the Mendel Balls case in Gar
ist Russia, completely failed.
"The Fascist dictatorship lost the
trial which cost it battle, it lost
in this struggle with Communism!
Nad Guilt Apparent
German Fascism not only failed
to justify itself at Leipzig, but, on
the contrary, its guilt is now more
apparent than ever. The verdict, as
well as the trial, were unable to prove
the slightest participation of the
Communist Party in the Reichstag
arson.
THE judges, the prosecutors and
scores of witnesses vainly tried to
prove this thesis for three months
of the trial. And the Fascist cheats
failed scandalously every time before
the world!
FINALLY, the Fascist judges were
left with nothing but the improved
statement that they must seek Van
der Lubbes accomplices in the camp
Of Communism" One is wildly re-
minded of the story of the thief who.
escaping from pursuers, shouted,
stop. Thiefw The difference beng
maybe that the Fascists have not
succeeded in hiding their traces, be-
cause they were Immediately caught
red handed
The verdict itself, despite the in
tentions of it's authors, exposes the
falsifications and lies by meons OF
which the indictment against Com
munisn was made up"
"Pravda" iurshcr roints out that
it is extremely significant that the
verdict notes "the complete refuta-
ton of the various assertions that
leading members Of the government
par tcipated in the Peichstag arson
and also that Van der Lubbe was
connected with the Nazis."
"Pravda" states: 1T seems that no
Nazis who were not leading 'c,e'-''-77's
of the government were tried but
that the four Communists and the
Communist Party were on trial How
does it ha-pen then that at the very
beginning of its verdict, the court

SPRING STORM.
SWEEPS CITY

While washington slept, an
electrical storm swept over the
city last night-an unusual oc-
curence, according to officials at
the Weather Bureau.
Rarely do electrical storms oc-
cur in March, it is said. Thunder
and lightning featured this storm,
one of the old-faShioned spring
variety. The old folks say 1t
means an early blooming of flow
ers.
Despite this prediction, with
spring in the offing, the Weather
Bureau forecasts a sharp drop in
temperature some time today.
The temperature this morning
was around so degrees. Yesterday
it was as high as IA at 4 p. m.
Rain this morning is looked
upon as the last for a while.
