The Fighting
Vets
BY H. 3. BRIGGS

THERE are two reasons for the
welcome extended to gobs in New
York. One is the direct interest
that all shop-keepers have in some
one else's pocket-book. The other
is the pampering of those who will,
in the near future, be called upon
to DO the dirty work Of protecting
the profits Of Wall Street. Every
store, shop. barroom, hotel etc.
stretches its hand out to grab a part
of that million dollars" the gobs
will spend. The capitalist newspa-
pers, like the prostitutes they are,
primp their front pages with coy
phrases about the Jolly tars. One
paper even hired extra girl repor-
tiers" to get the dirt on the gobs in
their off moments.
But there are two kinds of well
come. One for the officers. another
for the rank and file sesmen. In
my travels, 7 have yet to see any
gobs hanging around the Ritz Carl
ton or the Savoy Plaza. These
places are reserved for the gold
braid Ordinary seamen are free to
stagger out Of cheap Coffee Pots,
barrooms, etc. This freedom is
dearly paid for.
"You have only a few days left in
port. Make good use of these by
doing q little exploring on your own
and some critical thinking on your
welcome Just before you landed,
there was a group of unemployed
ex-servicemen living in a shanty
town on the Hudson underneath the
famous Riverside Drive. This was
their reward for defending Wall
Street in the last war. They were
ousted before you arrived because
the powers that be did not want
you to mix with the victims of the
last war and view their deplorable
conditions.
You will notice in reading the
papers that the country is embroiled
in a vast strike movement. These
are your brothers. workers like your
self who cannot enjoy the best
hotels in civilian life either They
are fighting for a decent standard
of living. Their interests are your
interests. Talk to them. see what
they think about the ~ r. A. and
Roosevelt's New Deal" You will
get some surprising answers. These
workers, like yourselves. know what
is ahead of them, their wage cuts.
like your own are part of the vast
scheme to cheaper the cost of an
other imperialistic war.
You may meet some ex-service-
men. Ask them why they have not
received their bonus. They will tell
you that they are now among the
forgotten men" but in 1918 they
also had the freedom of the city.
They also paraded down Fifth
Avenue, they also received praise
and pampering in the press But
IS years is long time between
drinks and promises. Today these
buddies of yours have no uniforms
but they are with you in every way.
Have a good time, COB, while you
may, but remember the purpose be-
hind your welcome. Remember the
waiter who hands you your coffee,
the conductor that takes your fare
the taxi driver who runs a risk of
accidents and loss of job to get you
back to ship on time,
They will be the victims like your
self of the next war, for which the
capitalists are preparing. They are
your real friends.

Sees "MiIitants'' and
R.P.C. Groups Evading
Revolutionary Fight
Ply MILTON howard

THE soul of the American
L bourgeois was visibly
dismayed during the last few
weeks by the spectacle Of
class battles in some of the
largest cities in the country,
Detroit, Minneapolis. Toledo,
New Orleans. San Francisco.
These actions of the American
working class are the unmistakable
signs that we in this country are
approaching those days of which
Marx long ago spoke. those days
when the masses learn more in
enc day. than in previous ten years
Of quiet"
IN THIS recent period two party
1 conventions met-the Communist
Party and the Socialist Party.
Which convention presented to the
masses the policies that will lead
to victory in the fight for better
wages, for unemployment relief and
insurance, and from there on, to
the overthrow of capitalism
The Communist Party boldly pro-
claimed persistent and merciless war
against the whole Roosevelt pro-
gram. exposing it as the program
par excellence Of the most reaction
airy clique Of Wall Street finance
capital, IS the program of monopoly.
Calling for the organization of
powerful strike movements against
the wage-cutting attacks of the
employers, calling for assault on the
whole Roosevelt N.RA. strike break
ing machinery, the Communist
Party proclaimed that the daily
economic battles with the employ
ers must be steadily driven forward
to the struggle for power to the
struggle for the overthrow of the
capitalist system and the setting
up Of a Soviet government in this
country.

at time when the two great classes
in society are forming their battle
lines for the ultimate revolutionary
clashes, covers in fright before the

the seizure of power, and in the
face Of dsy-to-day bitter struggles
between ruling class and exploited

Of radical verbisge ever flung into
the face of a class engaged in bit

the day-to-day fights against the
employers and the ultimate strug-

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper when eating to
cut the food with the knife in
the right hand, the fork in the
left hand and then to raise the
food to the mouth with the fork
in the left hand, or laying the
knife across the plate, change
the fork to the right hand, and
lift the food to the mouth with
the fork held in the right hand?
K.
Both forms of eating are
correct. The first way, the fork
shifting way, is used oftenest on
this side of the ocean; the non
fork shifting way, or the con
tinental' way, is used in Europe.
The reason why this question
arises SC often is, I think, that
people now travel more than
they used to, and, in travelling,
observe different ways of eat
ing.
Also people are more eager
than formerly, I believe, to eat
correctly. In any event, the non
fork-shlfting way Of eating has
taken unto itself many con-
verts, for people realize that
they can quickly and easily &C.

quire the Notwithstanding way
of eating, and they realize too
that it is not so full of fuSsy,

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
If a girl has been engaged
and has broken her engage
ment owing to the fact that the
man wasn't true to her he
went with another girl during
the engagement and the
girl kept the ring, is it proper
for her to wear the ring on her
ring hand? 1t is in a plain
setting, or should I have it set
over, or shouldn't I wear it at
all? D.
The girl not only should not
wear the ring, but she should
not even consider keeping the
ring. When an engagement is
broken, a girl should return her
engagement ring. Any sensitive
minded girl would deSpise keep
ing the symbol of an engage
ment that no longer exists
and especially under these cir
cumstances, when the map has
been such a cad.
