NEW ORLEANS IS : SOME QUIET BUT
 STORM FEARED
Huey Long Is Still the Commandments Chief of
 Everything


 New Orleans, La, Aug 21-- (UP)-Quiet pervaded New Or leans to-day while the forces of Sen Huey P. Long and Mayor T. Semmes Walmsley awaited am- munition-the mud-slinging phase --of their war for control of this metropolis,
 The ammunition will be SUD- piled, literally, observers said, by the federal grand jury investigat- ing income tax pawn ents, by some Louisiana politicians, and by the legislative committee appointed to inquire into vice and corruption New Orleans.
 The grand jury inquiry has been in progress for several weeks and among witnesses examined are some who might have had some- thing to say about the $70,000,- coo in highway contracts awarded by the Long political machine. The United States attorney in New Or leans Is Rene A. Viosca, whose confirmation by the U. s. senate was Utterly opposed by Long. Ava c. Baird, federal income tax fraud expert, recently was appoint ed special assistant to Viosca.
 lHC le5iSldtiNe COIliillttec, COIn- posed of five house members and four senators, will begin secret hearings here within the next day or so. So far the appointment of only one member has been an nounced. He Is Rep Isom Guil- lory, follower of the Kingfish and popularly known as "Sit Down lsom," an appellation applied by his boss.
 Six weeks ago, when the house was debating Longs measure to tax newspaper advertising, Guil- lory arose to challenge an objec- tor. The Kingfish roared from the sidelines "Sit down Isom'
 Isom sat down and for weeks he suffered the barbs of city celebrated for d talent with ironic humor. He harbors no love for the city. Walmsley faced threat of mutiny in ~the army he hired to defend city hall from any pos sible invasion by Longs militia. They were paid off yesterday, get ting s3 per day when they had expected $5 The men grumbled and committee of 12 was named to usk for q raise.

It may be possible for them to join one of the three armies voted to Hucy by the kindly legis- lnture. Thrre arc the state militia, the state constabulary and the election day army of special depu- tics.
 By its action the legislature has made Huey Lonk truly the king fish not only of Louisiana but of New Orleans as well.
 The fight between Long and WalniEley began about year ago when the kinsfish tried to dictate the candidates in the municipal election,
 Long ran his own ticket and lost. He shouted Walmsley's machine "stole" the election and began the fight which eliminated in the present war.

Political Gossip

When Postmaster General Janes A. Farley attends the democratic state convention next month, some of those who have been using the Roosevelt New Deal" slogan in local squabbles feeling that it would help them to defeat opposing factions are likely to ind out what he thinks about such tao. ties. President Roosevelt, himself, made an open decIar- ation that he was not interest. ed in local factional fights and would not get into them. Despite the fact, all along the route of his homeward trip from Oregon he heard the "New Deal" slogan being used. And if his route had taken him through Connecticut, he would have heard the same.

 People who travel by motor on week end or vacation trips or the business man who must snatch a nasty bite on his way to an ap- pointment should be chary for their health's sake of eating places where food is so expoced, where sugar bowls and other food con- tainers are not covered, where beverages not contained in bottles are drawn from containers other than those which are fly-tight and from which the beverages are drawn in sanitary cups only by means of faucets.

Trade and War

THE open and bitter trade war between
L Britain and Japan is not an isolated
matter 1t is an ugly symptom OF the
sharpening of whole maze of imperial
list contradictions, presaging the rapid
development to war as the attempted arbter OF
these questions which are gnawng at the heart
of world imperialism.
Nor are these two countries alone concerned IN
the conflict over markets The diseased imperallSt
economy finds the world markets too small for
their sef-preservstion The United States tries TO
conouer British markets The sharpest struggles
develop in Latin America, and in the Far East.
The japanese seek to wrest away the British colonial
markets Neither do they overlook the u S. Latin
American markets.
Trade wars" are not just commercial battles.
They are not just intensified struggles for markets,
but with them goes the armed preparations for
war to insure the seizure of markets, and along
with them redistribution of colonies and control
of sources of raw material
The British action Of decreeing quota of 81
per cent below the present Japanese exports in
British crown colonies will have tremendous effect
in sharpening the antagonisms all around, leading
ever closer to the next step-actual warfare
IN PREPARING for war against the Soviet Union,
1 as well as to swallow much Of China as she can
get away with japanese imperialism has been
dumping its goods on the world markets. This has
been made possible through driving down the living
standards Of the Japanese workers, just as Roose-
welt is doing to the American workers through the
NRA The capitalist governments are using the
profits they make in this way to swell their war
machinery.
Thereby the danger is sharpened all around
the conflict between Japan and Britain is greater
that between Britain and the United States between
the two largest imperialst powers is pulled notch
tighter; and the chief conflict in the Far East
between the imperialists between Wall Street and
Japan is driven closer to the exploding point.
As the Communist International pointed out,
dying rotten capitalism wants to preserve itself
from doom by plunging the working class into
new criminal imperialist war. Only the working
class, by its every day resistance to its lowered
standard of living, by persistent day to day fight
for its rights by revolutionary action for the
throw Of capitalism can prevent war The task Of
fighting war becomes one of the most immediate
and important ones facing the whole working class
and its allies.
One Of the pressing, immediate tasks is the
mobilization for International Youth Day, May 3Oth
which will be a focus point in rallyng the youth
for the struggle against imperialist Every
effort should be made in all cities, by youth and
adult workers. to make this day powerful lever
for speeding the fight against the looming imperial
iSt war.

Terror in the Philippines

DREPARING for war in the Far East,
4 the Roosevelt government, together
with the native Filipino lackey bourgeoi-
sic, want to crush the struggles of the
workers and peasants in the Philippines.
To achieve this end they resort to the severes terror
against the leader of the Filipino exploited masses,
the Communist Party.
Yesterday, we received the news that three
Filipino taxicab strikers were sentenced to death
on a framed-up charge of numbering scsb The
purpose Of this penalty is to crush the increasing
strike struggles Of the Filipino workers
The leaders Of the Communist Party of the
Philippines together with outstanding fighters in
the revolutionary peasants organizations the red
trade unions, and the Filipino Labor Defense, have
either been banished to the Filipino counterpart
of the Czarist Siberia" or are serving prison SEN
fences up to 10 years
Their crime" was fighting against Wall Street
domination, and for the freedom of the Filipino
people from all exploitation.
Terror against the Filipino workers and peasants
will increase now as the war danger grows sharper
in the Far East
There must the widest protest in the
United States for the release of our brothers in
this Yankee colony. Wires and letters demanding
the revocation Of the death penalty for the three
Filipino taxi strikers should be sent to Secretary
of State, Cordc Hull; to the American Governor

IN ORDER to make that the banks get their
money, Fusion yesterday pulled new card out

Forget in ninety days, Mr.. Fsirchild? Not
your life! Even now, as you prepare to introduce
this bill the workers of New York rallying to
fight any such move with all their strength, to
defeat this well all other attempts to encroach
further on their already miserable standards of
living.
No, the masses Of New York who inhabit the
slum tenements, which you and your kind know
only as an offensive odor as you pass by in your

A Serious Error

Yesterday, the Daily Worker carried story
from an auto worker correspondent on Matthew
Smith, head of the Mechanics Educational Society
which pointed out that Smith was moving to the
right and following in the footsteps of the American
Federation of Labor officials
There is no doubt that Smith is aping the A.
of l.. tactics in expelling mitants His splitting
OF the union ranks, and his strike policies in the
Michigan Stove and Tool and Die shops differed
IN no way from those of the A. F. of L. chiefs
While posing as a radical his deeds are those of
reactionary
The worker correspondent stated that Smith was
formerly General Motors agent who claimed he
was safety mana stool pigeon. We disagree
with this statement AS far as we know Smith
was layout for General Motors Evidently
our correspondent has confused Smith with Byrd,
who was a safety man, and is at present member
OF the N.R.A. Auto Labor Board
Smith is member of the Detroit Regional Labor
Board. His services this board have not been
IN the interests Of the workers, but his presence
mas tended to give prestige to the anti-union bodies
There is no need for our worker correspondents
TO make mis-statements We caution them all to
check carefully all concrete facts in dealing with
labor officials

always been to state the truth We ask our cores

mony, II am still getting from time

Mishtowt, while under cross -ex-
animation, unwillingly recounted
some interesting facts about what
was done with the Kerensky loans.
We quote from the testimony:
20. You had made some pur-
chases after the It'll of Novem-
Der, 1917?
"a. Yes. Rifles.
20. You fitted out vessels of
war and sent them to Vladivo-
stok?
ga. Yes, I did. Remember the

armed vessels across the Pacific?
"a. 1t was my duty.
20. You fitted out the steam
ship Rogdai.
"a. / did. And 1 placed guns
and ammunitions on it."
The testimony goes on to show
that these ships and supplies were
paid out of Kerensky loan money

what became of the money!"
Yes, what became of the money?
That is the question we are now
going to answer. The money that
the Roosevelt government wants the
Soviet workers to pay out of their
toll, out of their socialist construc-
ton, went to American financiers.
1t went to financing the counter
revolutionary scum that was de-
feated by the revolutionary work.
ers and peasants in the Soviet
Union. 1t went in graft to Ameri-
can businessmen, to white guards,
to Czarist agents. We shall name
some of them.
And the United States govern
ment, under Wilson, during the
graft-ridden Harding outfit, under
the Hoover regime, assisted the
Bakhmetiev Czarist Kerensky
clique in financing the enemies of
the proletarian revolution.
Mr.. Bakhmetiev himself, testify
ing before the Senate hearings,
said:
After consultation with the u.
5. government and banking insti-
tutions, ii was decided to amalga-
mate the different funds available
on Russian government accounts,
irrespective of their previous dis
tribution. into a special segre-
gated set of accounts with the
National City Bank of New York"
The United States government
itself took over the responsibility
for the disposition of what was left
of the balance at the time of the
amalgamation of the funds in the
National City Bank. In other words,
the government of the United States
took over authority for helping to
finance the hell-hounds of Czarism,
the forces of black reaction.
We must now turn to the situa-
ton in Russia after the downfall of
the Kerensky regime in order to
know how the residue of the
Kerensky funds, that Roosevelt
wants the Soviet Government to
pay, we're employed.
The allied powers, which included
the United States, disappointed at
the failure of the expected rapid
collapse of the Soviet Government,
began to organize and buttress the
counter revolution. A Czecho-
slovakian corps. $4,000 strong, pre-
vious war prisoners of the Haps-
burg army, we'll equipped, were sent
on their way to France through
Russia via Vladivostok. They had
the whole Siberian railroad in their
power.
