about 20 minutes explaining that a
complete day of rest would help his
game a lot. He owed it to himself; !;
it would help the team in the ap-
preaching matches with the British.
Francis did everything but wave the
star-spangled banner in this ex-
planation.
So what happened? Ouimet wan

Every one was well pleased when
Francis and Dunlap were beaten,

AIR F 0 R CES

LONDON, Nov. 28.-Plans for
heavy increase in Britains air forces
almost double the present strength
was announced officially in the
House of Commons today during a
debate on Germany's rearmament.
Winston Churchill, reactionary
former Chancellor of the Exchequer,
announced that because by the end
of 1896 the German air force would
be so per cent higher than Britain's
and by the end of 1887 hearty
double, I'VE ought to decide now to
maintain at all costs in the next
decade an air force substantially
stronger than Germany's."
Immediately following this state
ment, Anthony Eden, chief diplo-
matte messenger boy of British i'm

Kingdom sirplane engines had been
exported to GERMANY in the first
ten months of 1894. There is moth

Behind this attempt OF the British
Government to whip up an arma-
ment frenzy is the failure Of the
naval construction talks and the
determination of England, as well
as of all other powers, to perfect
the most extensive war machines.
Stanlev Baldwin, Lord President

Churchill ION behalf of the gov

HOUSING PLAN
is MONOPOLY
SCHEME

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 28.-The
drive of the Roosevelt government
to increase the profits of monopoly
capitalists in the heavy goods in
dustries under cover of housing
program" was made clear tonight
in speech delivered by james A.
Moffet, Federal Housing Admin
istrator, before the Capital City
Club.
The purpose of the Housing Act
Moffet declared, sis to create busi-
ness for the building and heavy
goods industries"
Taken together with the recent
remarks of Secretary Ickes on the
public works program. regarding
the obstacles to building" in the
union wage rates prevailing in the
building trades, Moffet's statement
is an endorsement also of the wage
cutting drive now being organized
in building trades behind the
Roosevelt housing program.
Moffet went further and showed
that the Roosevelt housing program
includes system of direct subsidies
to the building industry through a
plan for Federal guarantee of all
bank loans made to purchasers of
building materials through the So
called Character loans,
"The Federal Government is now
saying" Moffet stated, that it is
ready to insure any lending insti-
tuition against loss from character
loans for modernization.'
Under this combined system. the
heavy industry monopolies will be
provided with new profits through
wage cuts in the building trades,
and the banks will profit through
government insured loans.
Whatever modernization will re-
suit will only increase the debt
burdens of the small homeowner
while the wage levels of the build
ing trades workers will be reduced.
Despite all the ballyhoo of the
Roosevelt housing program, only
$10,000,000 has actually been dis
bursed for home building.

priest and initiation advocate, at a
mass meeting last night at his
shrine of the Little Flower in this
town just outside of Detroit, at
tackled the Soviet Union, reiterated
his demand that the government
take a hand in the organization of
trade unions, and openly minated
that his newly launched National
Union for Social Justice was being
primed for the 1886 elections.
A crowd of 1000, consisting al
most entirely of middle-class people
and workers, damned ever inch of
space in the small chapel.
Coughlin discussed his sixteen
point program, program of a
demagogic fascist character
around which he is building up a
movement that may in short
time become a serious threat to the
working masses of this country.
Lies about u. S. S. r.
Russian Communism, Coughlin
declared, is more or less nutty. It
wants everything owned in COM
mon; the hat you wear. the shoes
you wear, even your children.
Capitalism gives you number in
a factory, and Communism num-
bers you in a state. One kind of
slavery is as bad as another
Coughlin made his usual dema-
gogic attacks on capitalism and
Wall Street bankers, but said
nothing about the powerful cap
italist interests who are support
ing him. He denied that he was
sympathetic to fascism, declaring
that his aim was to effect redis-
tribution of wealth in order to save
democracy and prevent revolution.
In response to a question as to
whether one must be voter to
belong to his organization, Cough
lin said: "All you have to be is
nineteen years old. which means
that you'll be a voter two years
from now Coughlin is thus max
ing an open BID to enroll the youth
in his fascist movement, which he
is preparing to convert into q poll

Coughlin paid glowing tribute to
another budding fascist, Huey Long.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 28.-
Not satisfied with having postponed
the resumption of the Senate Num-
tons Committee investigation Of
the sensational worldwide activi-
ties of American munitions COM
panies until after the recent cleo
lions, the Roosevelt Administration
went to bat again for the munition
companies by doctoring the Off
cially printed record of the first
round of hearings.
An examination Of Part 2 of the

leted."
The official notice in the record,
