Monsters of the Sea.
Serpent Tales.

TROM far and wide, during re-
- cent months, have come tales
of sea monsters. They have
L been reported in Scotland, on
the coast of France, and in the
region of Norway and Sweden.
Most famous of them is the sea
serpent" which many persons claim
they have seen in Loeb Ness, a long,
narrow lake in Northern Scotland
This lake, with length of "a miles,
has an average width of not quite a
mile. From one end a short river
flows into a bay of the North Sea.
That q large animal of some sort
has been seen swimming around Loch
Ness there is no good reason to
doubt; but whether the animal Is a
sea serpent is another question. 1t
may be, but more likely it is not.
Stories of giant serpents and other
monsters of the sea have been told by
sailors and travellers for hundreds of
years. At the time of Columbus one

Kellogg's ALL-BRAN Brings
Relief.

Constipation takes the SUM-
shine out of your days. 1t may
bring headaches, loss of appe-
tite and energy, sleeplessness,
sallow skins, pimples.
Fortunately, you can avoid
this condition by eating a de-
licious cereal. Laboratory tests
show that Kellogg's ALL-BRAN
provides two things needed to
help overcome common consti-
patton: "bulk" and vitamin B.
ALL-BRAN is also a rich source
of blood d-building iron.
The bulk" in ALL-BRAN is
much like that of leafy vege-
tables. Within the body, 1t
forms a soft mass. Gently, it
clears out the intestinal wastes.
How much better than, dosing
yourself with patent medicines.
Two tablespoonfuls of ALL-BRAN
daily are usually suficient.
With each meal in chronic
cases. If seriously i'll, see your

WE HAVE an inquiry for the origin

meaning, of course. that life is not
just a round of pleasure.
The allusion is to the game Of nine
pins, and to the fact that a typical
day Of rest for many an Englishman
in the "old days was his game Of
skittles, as it was called, and his beer,
The whole atmosphere of beer and
skittles" was one of freedom from re-
sponsibility and dull care" one Of

WAR PREPARATIONS INCREASE

WAR PREPARATIONS INCREASE
THE whole profoundly and complication of the
internal contradictions is brought out in the
question of the development of their war prepara-
tons. However much, for example, Italy has need
of Germany's help against France it is equally
much against the union of Germany and Austria
and against a common erman-Italian frontier
However strongly Great Britain feels itself united
with Japan in hatred Of the Soviet Union and the
colonial revolution it is equally strongly driven by
the Japanese economic offensive to trade war with
Japan. However much Hitler Germany would like
to advance against the Soviet Union in unison with
Poland still it has not the slightest thought of
giving up its claim to Upper Sesia and the Polish
Corridor However sharp the contradictions which
are driving the imperalists into war against each
other, they would prefer to put off such war and
settle their differences at the expense of the Soviet
Union. The complicated character of the stua-
ton eyokes continual vaclations in the imperalist
camp and this very uncertainty is further factor
against peace.
In 1884 the world has had fifteen years expert
ence of the "era of peace" Was it a confederation
OF unfortunate accidents that the pacifist era of
peace" has turned out to be most pronounced
era of war and that every peace conference" and
everp peace pact has given rise to contra
dictions, new conflicts, new dangers and
ceerated rates of arning? Not at all! Pacifsm
has not failed, rather 1t has proved itself the best
means of the imperalist war-makers for the decep-
tion of the masses Behind the so-called peace
conferences and peace pacts of the postwar period
stood the new grouping of the imperialist powers,
their advance to a new war There never was so
much talk of peace at any time as in the post
war period and never did general competition in
armaments assume such feverish character as in
the "era of peace" of the League of Nations.

More Power

IN THE two speeches which Roosevelt
has made since his return from the
vacation-war inspection tour to Hawaii,
we can see quite clearly the way in which
Roosevelt will direct his political strategy
in the coming months.
First, Roosevelt is getting ready for
new barrage Of propaganda which will gild him
again with the veneer of a "social-minded" leader
interested in the welfare of the masses. The tech
nique of this new campaign will center around
fraudulent program of old age relief unemployment
insurance, etc.
Second Roosevelt is militarizing with great
rapidity the entire economy of the nation under the
guise of social program of electrihcaton and
water power.
And finally he is subty propagandizng for
movement of populations which will serve two pur-
poses, to rid the midwest farm lands of thou
sands Of small farmers who have been impoverished
by the A. A. A. and the drought, and who now
hinder the process of monopolsing of agriculture by
the biggest landlords and second to strengthen the
Pacific Coast as war base.
pOOSEvELT speaks feelngly of the need for
cheaper electric power for the people.
But under his rule, the j. P. Morgan utility
monopolies are plunderng as freely as before. The
Government electric projects will not give the
cheap electricity Roosevelt's officials have
already assured the utility magnates that Roosevelt
has not the slightest intention of interfering with
their reasonable profit" which means monopoly
profit.
The electric program of Roosevelt is war
program disguised a social program.
Why does Roosevelt build mp Muscle Shoals for
the manufacture of nitrates when the of fer
tilizer (nitrates is declining due to the crop-re-
ducing program of the Roosevelt A. A. A.? Be-
cause nitrates also the ingredients of war
explosives!
Roosevelt will offer the exploited masses new
bait in the form of his social relief" schemes. He
is forced to propose these schemes because the de-
veloping crisis will rapidly rub the gilt off the
New Desr'-and Roosevelt knows it.
But Roosevelt will continue-only more So
what he has already done-to protect the Wall
Street monopoes at the expense of the rest of the
population.

Steel Workers Convention

THE Second Convention of the Steel and
L Metal Workers Industrial Union now
concluding its three day session in Pitts
burgh is taking place at time when the
Steel Trust and its subsidiaries are plan
ming new attacks against the workers.
This convention is also of tremendous
importance to the entire working class, as steel
production constitutes the most important nerve
center in capitalist production as a whole.
This convention takes place when the steel cor
porations, helped by the N. R. A. strike breaking
machinery and the arch betrayers Mike Tighe and
Green. are refusing to recognize any union, includ
ing the A. F. of L., and are herding all their work
into company unions. The most vicious terror has
been let loose against the steel workers.
The militant Steel and Metal Workers Union,
which has already 80 strikes, has the task
Immediately following this convention with an in
tensive drive to win the workers in the most i'm
portant steel mills and to carry through local
struggles against the inhuman speed-up, for in
creases in wages, for mass campaign against lay
offs and to unite the employed and unemployed
steel workers in joint struggle for relief and un-
employment insurance.
The union must in this connection develop
most intense drive against the company unions,
uniting all workers who are members of the A. A.
and independent unions by raising the local
grievances and the workers demands within the
company unions, capturing all positions possible in
order to expose and destroy these institutions of
the steel trust and lay the basis for one fighting
industrial union in the industry Every local strike
struggle properly prepared must become starting
point for spreading the movement into the indus
try as a whole. 1t is necessary to guard against

Soviet Union Orders
Typewriters in U. S.

MOSCOW, Aug. 4. The Soviet
government, through the Commits
sariat for Heavy Industry, will pur-
chase 10000 typewriters from a large
American manufacturing firm, in
return for which the firm will in
struct the Soviets how to set up
their own factories for this pur-
pose, on the American model.
Until the present, German firms
have had a practical monopoly on
this business in the Soviet Union.
Nazi policies have had the effect of
drasticaIy reducing the amount of
commercial relations between the
two countries.
Actually, it has been the Soviet
Union alone which has in effect es-
tablished more stringent boycott
of Nazi goods than any of the
groups which have been shouting
about a Nazi boycott without. how

to make this boycott real

Strikes and Unemployment
Insurance

OTTER opposition of employers organi-
~ cations to genuine unemployment in
surance, as represented by the Workers
Bill, has increased in the course of the
present strike wave. The open shop or
ganizations, the industrial associations of
the employers everywhere, are not slow
in drawing certain lessons. They are aware of the
fact that these strikes have been strengthened not
only by the direct support of the organized unem-
ployed, but also by of the concessions that
have been won through the struggle against un-
employment
To the extent that relief authorities have been
forced to provide relief for strikers well as to
workers who are unemployed for any other cause,
the position of workers strike has been greatly
strengthened. To the extent that this relief is Sc
cured the workers cannot be starved into submission
The labor officials, agents of the employers also
find it difficult to prevent and end strikes The
claim that the union has strike relief funds on
hand has frequently served the excuse of the
bureaucrats for discouraging and giving up strikes
Undoubtedly William Green had this in mind
when at the Vancouver Convention of the A. F. of
L. he declared that Unemployment Insurance would
be a death blow to the American trade union move
ments"
If workers who go out strike against un-
bearable conditions assured the benefits of
unemployment insurance under workers admins
tration as provided in the Workers Bill the trade
union movement would be immeasurably strength
ened. Successful strikes and rank and file opposi-
ton to the bureaucrats would be greater certainty
No wonder Green Lewis Vol & Co. speaks of this
as death blow. 1t would certainly be death blow
to their ant-strke position and their sell-ou policy
For the workers in the unions and the millions
who are yet to be organized, the experience in the
present strike wave must serve as additional proof
Of the close connection between the strike struggle
and the fight for Unemployment relief and insurance
Employed workers must realize that by helping to
win more adequate relief for the unemployed they
help win greater relief for themselves when they are
forced to go on strike.
Progress has been made in the necessary unity
between unemployed and employed workers. This
unity must be further cemented not only in the
strike struggles but also in the ay-to-day struggle
for relief and in the fight of the entire working
class to force enactment of the Workers Unemploy-
ment and Social Insurance Bill

terday, forced the military author
tiles to call halt to airplane man

lit large bonfires at all strategic
points, preventing the manoeuvers
from being executed.
All efforts Of the authorities to
stop the anti-war demonstration of
the Socialists and Communists failed
The united front of the workers
completely stopped the war tests,

ForW ar, Japan
Heads Reveal

TOKYO, Aug. 5. = In an article
which, for its own imperialist pur-
poses, rips off the mask of Amer
ican imperialist war preparations,
General Kunishige Tanaka, former
Japanese attache at Washington,
exposes the fact that the "disarma-
ment" proposals of the Roosevelt
government are only the mask for
further military war preparations.
Commenting on the arguments"
proposed by Rear Admiral Pratt of
the U. S. Navy for maintaining the
5-3-3 ration, the japanese imperial
ist-militarist states bluntly:
''The Admiral's arguments are
based upon offensive tactics which
military specialists long ago per-
ceived to be the aim of the Amer
lean disarmament proposals"
For Intervention
Thus, in their mutual intense
rivalries, both the Japanese and
Roosevelt war makers expose the
fraud of one another's peace pro-
posals."
Tanaka is notorious for his
famous Memorandum" in which he
outlined in 1928 military plan for
the seizure of the Soviet Union
in the Far East and the re-division
of the land of the IT & 6 r as far

president of the Silver Spring branch
of the Montgomery County Chapter
of the American Red Cross at a meet
ing here last night. Other officers

Gebhardt; secretary, Harry Trainor,
and treasurer, Mrs. Walter Oliver.
The branch appropriated 500 for
its share in supporting the county
nursing service which is the major

area to be used in furnishing hot
lunches and milk to underprivileged
children The branch plans to con-
tinue this service until June and, If
additional funds can be raised, will
resume it in the Fall when school
