AN historic gathering was the
IA World Anti-War Congress which
opened at Amsterdam on August
q, 1882. It's proceedings are sum
married in this important new
pamphlet. Initiated by Roman
ROLAND, Henri Barbusse and other
world-famous intellectuals, the
Congress addressed itself principal
ly to workers. All the forces sin
cerely opposed to imperialist war
were represented. The 2,196 dele
gates and 1900 visitors from 81
countries included Communists,
Socialists, PacifistS, as well as over
1000 without party afiliation. The
majority of the delegates we're
young and were workers. Commu-
nists comprising about one third
of the total.
Although, as the pamphlet de-
clareS, the Congress twas censured
and repudiated by the leaders of
the Second (SociaIist) Interna-
tional," some 291 socialist delegates
were present. Charges by socialist
leaders Of Communist domination
were effectively answered by an
American socialist delegate, Joseph
Roth, in the columns of the Daily
Worker, December 26. Both pointed
out that there was no indication
OF Communist domination, that
all shades Of opinion were allowed
expression. He branded the New
Leaders charge Of a Communist
maneuver" as nonsense.
JAPANESE imperialism wages its
robber war in the Far East. The
conflict between British and Amer
lean Imperialism reflects itself in
the butchery in the Chaco. The
capitalists continue their war prep
arations against the Soviet Union.
With all these things. and more, in
mind, the keynote of the assembly
in the words of ROLAND, was: "Ac-
ton is the end of thought" And
as a result of the movement set on
foot by this body, a students Anti
War Congress has already been
held in Chicago during December;
South American War Con-
gress will commence on February
%, in Montevideo, Uruguay.
In addition to the report and
manifesto of the Anti-War Con-
gress, this pamphlet contains the
address of Roman ROLAND, and
excerpts from speeches of various
delegates including the Japanese
revolutionary Sen Katayama,
Marcel Cachin, French Communist
leader, Hugo Graef and others. This
pamphlet should have the widest
possible support and the American
Committee for Struggle Against
War should be vigorously supported
in all its work. New York work
ers will have an opportunity to
show their support by attending
the protest meeting against the
bloody imperialist wars in South
America to be held this evening,
Jan. II, at Irving Plaza, Irving
Place and 18th St. Speakers will
include Robert Minor, Joseph Free
man. Robert w. Dunn, Alberto
Renbao, Mexican writer, and
others.

Since the last frightful con-

toward the sun and the
stars - the last barrier of

man has stamped his foot
upon the poles, fought his
way across the burning
sands, slashed his paths
through the jungles and

Everest Wins

Interesting news from the
roof of the world. The little
group of Englishmen who
have been fighting their
way for eight weeks toward
the summit of the world s
highest mountain - Mount
Everest have abandoned
their courageous adventure
until next fall.
For eight weeks, they
fought their way through
snow and ice, breathing the
savage gales which eternally
sweep the crest Of the king
of mountains, climbing gi-
nally to a height of $4,000
feet. But old Everest and
the demons which dwell on
his peak have routed them
at last, and the cleaning
pinnacle which rises 29,14O
feet above the level of the
sea stands unconquered.
Never has a human foot

Stake Lives

Some ten years ago a
gallant Englishman named
Colonel Norton stumbled on
and up, fighting for his
breath every step of the
way, until he won past the
2O,OO0-foot mark. He faint
ed dead away to stagger
back with heart that
barely beat, to fight snow
blindness for many weary
month.
Then came the two intrepid
souls, Mallory and Irvine,
who made desperate at
tempt, stalking their lives on
the thinnest of hopes. From
a camp to which they had
fought their way, less than a
mile below the plume Of mist
which everlastingly waves
from the helmet of the noun
tain king, they set out, with
cans of oxygen, for the final
conquest.
From far below, their COM
panions in the adventure
watched them with strong
glasses, thrilling to the
struggle that was being
made, the gallant advance of
two puny little human beings
against a very stronghold Of
the gods. Through the
glasses they saw the tiny fig
ures, like little black dots
against the white field of
snow, struggling closer and
closed toward the crest. And
then the glasses caught the
oncoming of a blizzard, a
storm of whirling snow.
The blizzard fell upon the
tiny figures, swallowing
them up in its binding mys-
terry. Never again were they
seen by the eye of man.
And now, on the high
plateau of the Himalayas,
sitting in their ancient mon
asteries, turning their prayer
wheels, meditating for long
hours over the enigma of life,
the Lamas Of Tibet, those an

knowledge, whisper that no

Human Side of the News
Loneiest Place in the World-Shows
Power of Habit-Roof of World
Still Defies Man-Last Barrier
By EdUin C.. Hill.

The loneliest place in the
world turns up in the news
the Island of Tristan da
Cunha in the middle of the
South Atlantic Ocean. It's
an extinct volcano, rising
more than 1000 feet above
the sea. It's far off the
steamship tracks and doesn't
see a ship more than once
a year.
A hundred and sixty
people live on this forsaken
chunk of lava, going with
out mail and newspapers
for many months at a time,
and often going very short
of food. The soil is thin
and poor and raises very
little. They would starve if
it weren't for the fish in the
sea. Yet they cling to the
island, one of the most
amazing evidences Of the
power Of habit and custom.

The only settlement is
named Edinburgh.
And now the people of
Tristan da Cunha send out
a plaintive appeal for an
other mongoose, which is a
kind of weasel and death on
rats and snakes. They have
one mongoose and the rats
on the island are getting
too tough for him. Any day
he is apt to become a cas-
ualty and then the big rats
would overrun the place.
The people want some spare
mongooses, and they also
ask for canned sardincs, Ep-
som salts and Bibles.
