les, one would like to live
forever" exclaimed the
B o lis h e vik Kirov in the
midst Of his report to the
recent Seventeenth Party
Congress of the Soviet
Union.
This was typical of
Kirov. Revolutionary ardor
made him exultant with
life, with enthusiasm and
energy for the building of
Socialism, for building a
better life for all of hu-
manity.
And now this young Boil
shevik lie ad er has been
struck down by the hand
of an assassin, striking in
: the interests of the class
enemy.
Kirov was one of the
most gifted, most loved of
the Bolshevik leaders. Bold,
shrewd, tireless, and pos
sessed of a marvellous elo-
quence, Kirov knew how to
rouse the Leningrad prole-
tariat with the irresistible
force of his burning words.

For us American work
ers, the blow that struck

working class trained in
hardship and want, also
struck us.

to destroy forev er the
hated yoke of capitalism,

Lenin taught us that the

productive is brought forward,

SENATE OKEHS
CUBAN TREATY
Quick Action Is Taken on
Pact Renouncing Inter-

WASHINGTON, June 1. (UPl.
The United States late Thursday
renowned its right to use mill
tary force to protect civil liber-
ties and democratic institutions IN
Cuba. ,
Moving with unprecedented
speed, the senate ratified the new
treaty with the island republic
which abrogates the famous Platt
amendment. There was no record
vote.
In its eagerness to dispose of
the pact, the senate ratified 1T
twice.
Signed and sent to the senate
only two days ago, the treaty was
called up for action late yester-
day by Chairman Key Pittman of
the foreign relations committee.
He spoke only a few moments
As soon as he had concluded, Sen
ator NJ. M. Logan 3D., Ky.), who
was presiding, mumbled the words
of ratification. A few feet away
Senator Simeon d. Fess (R., o.,
one of two members of the for
eign relations committee who OBJ
jected to the treaty, vainly sought
recognition.
Finally, Logan recognized him
and Fess said:
'It's too late. I wanted to
speak on the treaty"
On motion of Minority Leader
Charles McNary the senate action
was rescinded and Fess spoke
about five minutes. He declared
it "unwise" to disturb present re-
lations with Cuba at this time.
Tess did not vote against the
treaty, however, when it was
called up for final action a few
moments later.
News of the ratification was
flashed abroad where liberals were

Roosevelt, NRATo Intervene In Strike Threat
Bitter Strike Foe May Lead 100000
In Steel WalkOut

BY NEA Service
A LABOR leader who hates
IA strikes, may lead 100000
workers in one of the greatest
walkouts in industrial history in
June. He is Michael F. Tighe,
president of the Amalgamated
Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers.
The employees, in convention,
voted to strike unless their de-
mands for union recognition were
met. Steel company chiefs de-
clare they will close their plants
before they will grant recogni-
ton, indicating that bitter
struggle will ensue.
Tighe's hatred of strikes dates
from his days as a puddler in
Wheeling, w. Va. After five
months on strike, when he was
heavily in debt, his young son
died. Tighe had only rs cents in
his pocket. Forty cents went for
a wire to his wife's relatives. A
$500 loan from a saloonkeeper
friend paid a deposit on a burial
lot and another friend, an under
taker, supplied the casket.
Tighe didn't place the blame
for the tragedy on the strike, but
he held it was a contributing fac
tor and since that dark day he has
fought bitterly against walkouts.

Some Propose Armed

DETROIT, June 1.-UP).-
Proposals that Socialists stop
"monkeying with Messiah" and
approve armed force to wipe out
capitalism doomed last night as
possible drastic changes IN the
party's platform.
The vanguard of delegates ar
irving for opening of official SEES
sions of the national convention
today held preliminary confer
ences yesterday in which the de-
parture from reform to unlhed
action was considered.
The proposals, if approved
would:
Sanction use of armed force
in concluding phases of the "reVo-
luton" to overthrow Americas
"present capitalistic system"
2-Turn thumbs down on
economic patent medicines and
"cure-all Messiahs" who urged
merely reform.
Norman Thomas, party candi-
date for the presidency in 1928
and 1882, classed Detroit's radio
priest, the Rev. Father Charles E.
Coughlin, among the "Messiahs. "
The Socialist standard-bearer ia
yors the overthrow of capitalism
but would not commit himself on
actual use of force in accomplish
ing that end.
Members of the revolutionary
policy committee, headed by ]. B.

drastic step. One is Mrs. Corliss
