Unity Of Two
UnionsSought
By Teachers

PARIS, Aug. 20-The congress of
the refor1nist trade union of
teachers has adopted a resolution
commissioning its committee to
enter into communication with the
unitary teachers union, in order to
consult on the steps to be taken for
an immediate amalgamation Of the
two unions.
The congress further requires
that the administrative commission
of the General Confederation of
Labor should place on the agenda
of the National Council Congress,
General Confederation of Labor
to take place in October, the ques-
ton of the immediate practical
realization of unity on a national
scale.
The teachers union will hereby
support a plan of trade union unity
envisaging the taking up of direct
contact between the various trade
union units from the bottom to the
top, and the holding of amalgama-
ton conferences, from local up to
general national amalgamation
congress. The congress calls upon
the committees and the members
of the teachers unions to carry on
propaganda for this object.

dispatch in the New York Times,
Aug. 5, 1884, headed "Geodetic Sur
veys Will Be Extended" which
fatty declares that there is still
another significant factor resulting
from these [geodetic1 surveys that
quite conceivably can have bear
ing on our efficiency in any future
defensive war"
Aviation facilities, disguised as
commercial projects have been
tremendously advanced in Alaska.
At least 70 aviation fields and six
hydroplane ports have been con-
structed in spots strategic from a
military point of view. In 1882 less
than 1000 passengers were carried
by the air lines. In his annual re-
port for 1888 the Governor exults
that "all that is now required to
insure very prominent place for
air navigation are air mail con-
tracts"
Role of Alaska in War
Two clinching facts, in addition
to the evidence already mentioned,
prove that Alaska is being geared
to fit into Roosevelt's war prepara-
tons. First, The population of
Alaska is less than $4,000 persons.
1t is ridiculous to maintain that a
tiny population of $4,000 on the
vast frozen wastes requires 70 avia-
ton fields, 470 miles of railroad, 35
cable and telegraph stations, ETC.,
for its normal, peace-time, COM
mercial needs.
The second fact is the geographic
situation of Alaska. One glance at
a map of Alaska in relation to the
Pacific war area-to Japan, the
Soviet Union, China, Hawaii and
the Philippines-is convincing proof
that Alaska is an important war
base. And what's more, Roosevelt
and the medal-bedecked Army and
Navy officials know it. Notice how
the Aleutian Islands extending far
over to the Orient make con-
venient series of stepping stones.
Imperialist war in the Pacific is
an imminent certainty. The i'm
perialist conflicts between the Wall
Street emperorS and the Japanese
rulers are swiftly coming to head.
At the same time the imperialist
drive for an interventionist war
against the Soviet Union is an ever
growing danger. In the next Paci-
fic war Alaska will play an i'm
portant role, perhaps as important
as Hawaii.

Imperialist Says USSR
Is More Important to
Japan than China

LONDON. Aug. 2O.-A vicious
TRADE against the Soviet Union,
emphasizing the scope of the cam
paign for war against the workers
fatherland, was published by
Yosuke Matsuoka, chief of the Jap
anese delegation to the League of
Nations, in an article in the Sunday
Express.
Matsuoka declared from mill
tary viewpoint the Soviet Union was
more important to Japan than
China, and that military prepara-
lions were being speeded with the
Soviet Union in mind.
Matsuoka declared that Japan
would assure for itself the wealth
of Manchuria, despite "a group of
agitators trained in Russia" He also
added that Japan would not be
dictated to by the League of Ma
lions as to what colonies it would
seize or refrain from selling.

Vast Signal and Trans
port System Built Up
at Heavy Deficit
By SAMUEL WEINMAN

TEN fast bombing planes manned
i by fliers Of the U. S. Army Air
Corps have completed one half of
round trip of 1874 miles from
Washington D. c., to Alaska. At
the same time, July Is, eleven huge
navy seaplanes started mass flight
from San Francisco to Alaska. The
army squadron is now busily en-
gagged in photographing Alaskan
territory.
Secretary of the Navy Swanson
insisted" that no significance was
to be attached to the concentration
of naval airplanes, submarines and
other naval units this month at
Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian
Islands off Alaska. Swanson'S very
insistence proves that the contrary
must be the truth. One must be
naive indeed to believe that the
U. S. Navy dispatches large force
of sea and aircraft to the attic of
Wall Streets empire with no def
mite purpose. Asked whether the
U. S. Navy Department considered
establishing naval base in Alaska,
Swanson evasively answered that
"all places are under consideration"
and told reporters you need not
emphasize Alaska"
Commerce" and War
Reports from Washington indi-
cate clearly that Secretary of Com
merce Roper is now in Alaska
chiefly to negotiate for the expan-
sion Of Commercial" air lanes and
ground stations The Commerce
Department has already assigned
an airways inspector to Alaska.
Commercial" air liners can be
quickly converted into military ma
chimes during the war.
The double mass flights to Alaska
came as no surprise to army and
navy circles. In fact the flights
are a logical development of the
war preparations in Alaska for
more than twenty years. They are
likewise a logical link in the long
chain of Roosevelt's war prepara-
lions. WeI-informed army and
navy officials openly declare that
the Alaska flights are paving the
way for the establishment of mill
tary aviation stations throughout
the ice-box of American i'm
perialism.

Hindenburg Will Was
Faxed by the Nazis
Paris Paper Charges

PARIS, Aug. 2O.-Charges that
the so-called will of the deceased
President Won Hindenburg was
faxed by the Nazis were made by
the newspaper Paris Soir today.
Paris Soir particularly claims that
a section of the will urging that
Kaiser Wilhelm succeed him as
ruler of the Reich was stricken out
by Hitler, Goebbels and Won Hin
denburg's son, Oskar. Some sections
of the will, according to this paper,
were written by Nazi Minister of
Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.
This information was received,
declared Paris Soir, from a special
source" in Germany fully acquaint-
ed with the facts. The original will,
they charge, was much longer than
the one published. Won Papen was
named in the will, says Paris Soir,
and for that. reason Hitler sought
his murder on June 80. Won Papen
later swore never to divulge the real
contents of the will and for that
reason was taken into the good
graces Of Hitler

US. Imperialism Is Turning Alaska Peninsula
Into Secretly armed Fist Pointed at the East

about Alaska from a noted ex-
plorer-information that is highly
valuable for army and navy filters.
For more than 20 years the United
States Government has quietly pre-
pared Alaska for the approaching
war in the Pacific. The U. S. Army
has built a cable system, radio sta
lions, telegraph offices, a railroad,
and numerous aviation fields to
perfect it's military transportation
and communications requirements.
The Wall Street government pre-
tends to abhor government owner
ship as "confiscatory," but in
Alaska it has made an exception.
There the U. S. Government owns
the cables, telegraph lines, radio
stations and railroad. The trans
portation and communication Sys-
TENS connect military garrisons and
outpoSts.
Army Active in Alaska
The very name of the cable sys-
tenn is a giYe-away as to its char
acter and purpose. 1t is called the
Washington-Alask Military Gable
and Telegraph System. The cables
were built by the Signal Corps of
the U. S. Army in 1904. The opera
tors in charge of the thirty-five
stations are regulars of the Signal
Corps. Congress appropriates funds
annually to substitute the cables.
The Alaska Railroad, owned and
built by the U. S. government in
1914, was initiated by a commission
composed of four members, includ-
ing Major Jay j. Morrow, chair
man, and Civil Engineer Leonard
M. Cox of the u. S. Navy. The
second commission included Lieut..
Frederick Mears of the U. S. Army.
The Alaska Railroad was built
under the direction of the Army
and Navy to serve the purposes of
military strategy. Every year from
1925 to 1888 the Alaska railroad has
operated at a deficit. Congress
appropriates the difference to sup
port this cog in the Alaskan war
machine.
The U. S. Navy maintains a radio
communication system in Alaska by
means of a chain of radio stations
at Cordova, Dutch Harbor and st.
Paul Island. The Navy radio is
linked with the Army cable and
telegraph.
Extensive Ge0detic Surveys
The United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey has compiled a
vast store of information, useful for
military purposes, regarding hydrog-
raphy, topography, tides, currents
and magnetic and chronological
work. If there is any doubt that
geodetic surveys are of military
value, that doubt is dispelled by a
