The General Hates War!

1t takes a military mined man, one who has
seen years of actual service to really interpret
the trends in America toward War
Smedley D. Butler, outspoken retired Major
General Of the Marines, former Safety-Director
of the City of Philadelphia Che lost his job be-
cause he actually wanted to cleanup the city,
and frank critic of things military as a racket"
of colossal proportions, tells in the December is
sue of Common Sense why the Navy is Singing
Happy Days Are Here Again" as we prepare
for another war.
Butler sees another war approaching unless
America wakes up to its danger and heads off
the Fascism that precedes it. Butler is SO in
terested in preventing such holocaust in Amer
lea that he has consented to be one of the main
speakers at the Third u S. Congress, Against
War and Fascism, January 3, 4 and in the mann
9th Public Auditorium at Cleveland, Ohio APP
pearing with him will be Bishop Edgar F. Blake
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Rabbi Bar
nett r. Brcknet Of Cleveland, Dr. Harry F.
Ward Of Union Theological Seminary and Ian
gston Hughes, Negro writer The Congress will
number more than 5000 from college, farm,
workers, youth white collar and other groups.
"The Navy has pretty good feeling that
another World War is just around the corner,
and that despite our halting neutrality moves,
we are pretty sure to be in it" Butler writes.
"The States Department sees in big Navy a
handsome lever to pry itself into the current
foreign finoggng The impending increase in
ships causes the Navy secret happiness because
it is not generally known that the number of
Admirals in the Navy (and promotion in lower
ranks) is dependent upon the existing tonnage
in the service. If the Admirals in the near flu
ture get bakers dozen of 10000 ton floating
fortresses they will be ready to start war on
their own. The annual bill for operation will
top half billion dollars. The building plans
will cost more than billion in the beginning"
That the general who has participated in more
campaigns than any other member of the Amer
can forces was under fire III times been wound
ed twice, decorated 20 times, would become
legend was inevitable. But that such general
should also become front fighter for peace and
social justice is more remarkable

The tremendous responsibility which the Fed
eral Government has been compelled to assume
in providing a minimum of necessary care for
the health of the millions of jobless and their
families is strikingly revealed by the action Of
the New York State Works Progress Admins
tration in taking over from the Temporary En-
ergency Relief Administration the nursing care
and health supervision of 100000 needy families
The work will be under the professional super
vision of the State Department of Health.
In announcing the transfer, Dr. H. Jackson,
WPA State consultant on medical care, explain
ed that the nursing and health project employees
600 graduate and registered nurses, each Of
whom was eligible for relief when taken on the
project payroll He said he planned to increase
the nursing personnel by at least 100 graduate
registered unemployed nurses. In explaining
the magnitude and Importance of the program
DR. Davis said some of its major features include :
"The health care of 100000 children under 10
years OF age nursing of the unemployed sick
in almost half million families; health super
vision to prevent sickness with particular en-
phasis on infant care and supervision of ex
pectant mothers, and advisory work in dieting
and correction of manutrition"
There is increasing recognition the part
of welfare officials" he said, that adequate
health and medical care is a social necessity.
When individuals are unable to provide this nee
essty for themselves, there is continuous need
for community and government action"

Truly it has been said, the Statue of Liberty
here
Joseph Shoemaker is dead. His murderers walk
the streets under the eyes of officials of the
law His murderers themselves swore to up
hold the Constitution Of the United States, to
see that no man shall suffer loss of life or lib
erty Their superiors who are also sworn to up
hold the Constitution make no attempt to bring
them to justice.
Joseph Shoemaker is dead. We cannot bring
him back to life. We cannot lessen his hours
of agony But we can bring his murderers to
Justice We can force his fellow townsmen out
of their lethargy and waken their sleeping
science. We can shame the perured officials
of his city, who have broken their oaths to up
hold the law, and fray them into action.
Joseph Shoemaker is dead. But through his
death his name will live. Like Sacco and Van
zetti, his murder makes him immortal His
death, and the manner of it will kindle flame
to sweep across the country, to light the fires
of resolution in those who still love justice and
liberty and democracy. And they will join
together and cry to his murderers-
"Joseph Shoemaker is dead. But his spirit
guides us on, to build better world, world in
which his death could never have happened, in
which there is plenty, peace and freedom for
all"

Joseph Shoemaker is dead.


He died from injuries received ten days be-
fore when he was brutally beaten, tarred and
feathered and left unconscious in ditch for
seven hours. His assaiants included members
Of the police force Of Tampa, Florida.
Joseph Shoemaker is dead. The Sheriff has
promised to prosecute his assailants, but has
made no move to do so. The city officials refuse
to take action. The people of Tampa are indif
ferent to this hideous crime committed by their
officials and assisted by many of their citizens.
This is America The land of the free-where
men are seized in private homes and arrested
for no crime other than trying to improve their
city government through lawful elections. The
home of the brave - where half hundred men
set on three defenseless citizens and torture
them until one dies
This is America? The land of democracy
where attempts to use democratic methods meet
with destruction and death
This is America Where even unfounded sus-
picion of connections with a political party
which is legally recognized by the government
makes one liable to arrest without warrant, third
degree griling and illegal subjection to cruel
and unusual punishment under the direction of
officers of the law.

to the street Poulnot was Immediately
greeted by men apparently from the
police department who said, We've
caused you lot of trouble; now we're
going to take you home" When he
said he would rather walk home, they
argued with him and finally forced
him into the car. A crowd had gath
cred meanwhile and they were told
"the mans crazy" A police lieuten-
ant was looking on throughout.
The two other men were similarly
kidnapped and taken to lonely spot
where one by one they were laid over
a log and beaten with chains. When
the flesh had thus been broken up, hot
tar was applied over their wounds.
No arrests have yet been made, ac-
cording to LASER, who also fears a
whitewash. He pointed out that with
the police department implicated, "the
political connections reach pretty high
up" A gambling ring is said to have
great political power in Tampa, and il
is also reported that no one can be
a member OF the police or fire depart
ment unless he is a member of the Kt
Klux Klan.

something to answer for in this" Tho

sers protests. He told the press that
it is almost certain there will be a
whitewash. "Tarred today and white
washed tomorrow" is the expression
being used among Tampa workers, he
said The determined carrying through
of Green's threat to remove the A. F.
Of L. convention is the only hope Of
securing justice, according to Thomas.
The three men were arrested for
investigation of alleged Communist ac-
tivities, for which charge there was no
basis, according to LASER. Two Of
them were Socialists, Gene Poulnot be-
ing president of the Florida Workers
Alliance and a local union leader Shoe
maker was not even Socialist, but had
been active in forming party called
The Modern Democrats to take part in
the 1885 municipal elections, Its pro-
gram was somewhat similar to that of
the EPIC group in California
LASER told the story OF the events
leading up to the kidnapping, which
present much evidence of the whole

petrated with the aid OF the police. A

McCaskill professed to be a sym

Of the unemployed and had advocated
stronger tactics than the jobless were
inclined to adopt He was arrested
along with the others, according to
LASER, but his name was later erased
from the police record and in its place
the name of O. r. Saul was inserted.
The name is believed to be an imagin-
ary one, as none of those concerned
mad ever heard of such a person, nor
is he listed in any Tampa directories.
After the men had been questioned
by the police, they were led one by one
