Konoye has asserted fatty that Japan
favors comprehensive punitive cam
paign against the Chinese. Finally,
the japanese Navy has announced
that it intends to blockade the China
coast, stopping not only Chinese but
any vessels, from whatever source, II
they are suspected Of carrying con-
traband Of war.
Now all OF these measures-Whole-
sale invasion; the frank avowal that
"a comprehensive punitive expedi-
ton" is planned; the announced in
tention to interrupt China's trade with
other countries; the bombing of Amer
leans, British and other foreigners in
China-all these measures are being
carried out without formal declaration
Of war. Japan has not even severed
diplomatic relations with the Chi
nese government. And, meanwhile,
the peace societies and certain Sena-
tors, such as Nye and Clark, are
urging President Roosevelt to apply
the neutrality act which was passed by
the last Congress. If that act is ap-
piled the President must interrupt
the shipment OF arms to China and
Japan; prevent any loans to either
"belligerent," and may stop sending
any American goods to the ports OF
either nation in American ships. The
application of the cash-and-carry
clause would clearly operate to aid
Japan, since China has no merchant
marine and Japan threatens to block
ade her ports.
War Decision Up to President.
But the neutrality act leaves it up
to the President to decide what con-
stitutes a state Of war. On Monday.
Senator Key Pittman, chairman of
the Foreign Affairs Department Of
the Senate, and Secretary of State
Cordell Hull both made public state
ments. That Of Senator Pittman was
peculiarly confusing and even had
moments provocative Of hilarity. He
tried to explain what a state OF
war was. And it appears that you
and I know nothing about it. 1t
is not, he told us, an armed inva-
sion, or "a desperate and fatal con-
fiict between two nations" There
was no indication, according to
Senator Pittman, that the shelling
OF the Augusta Cor. presumably, the
notwithstanding of the British Am
hassador) were incident to the
existence of state of war No, the
shells seem to have been but arrows
shot into the air for no purpose
and falling to earth in unfortunate
spots. Presumably, responsibility for
the disasters must be laid to the law
Of gravity, which compelled the shots
to come down somewhere.
OF course, there is Just one inter-
probation to be put on Senator Pitt
mans speech. and on that Of Secre-
tary Hull. Our Government does not
want to invoke the miscalled neu-
trality act II 1t can possibly be avoided

 Immediately after Col. Gromoff made his statement Stanley Snum ovSky, Russian aviation repre- sentative. who is in San Diego, declared he understood the next trans polar flight would be made by a paSsenger-type plane, that it's route would be by way of Al aska and that it would refuel in Alaska
 The planes used by Russian fiiers in their two recent flights between Russia and the United States had no room for passen- gers. The aircraft provided just enough space for the aviators.
 Establish Nonstop Record
 Col. Gromoff's flight by the North Pole route was concluded July l4th. He and his compan- ions Andrei Yumosheff, copilot, and Sergei Danilin, navigator made new nonstop flight record in negotiating the 6,252 airline miles between Moscow and San Jacinto in 62 hours and IF min- utes.
 The first nonstop flight between Russia and the United States by way of the North Pole was com pIeted last June 20 when the three Russians, Pilot Valeria Chekaloff copilot George Biadukov and nav igaotr Alexander Beliakov, land ed at Vancouver, Wash, from Moscow a distance of $500 mil es. which was flown in GA hours.

that he would continue his efforts

Peck. He thanked the Assembly for
furnishing them information to work

The Musicians donated $500 to

that all labor troubles had been

Real Silk Hosiery Companies. The
products of both of these companies
are fair to organized labor.
In reports of officers before the
assembly, President Steinmetz stated
that in two conferences that he had
with the master bakers, they stated
that if the demands of the Bakers
Union were conceded, that the price
of bread would surely have to be

such statements are not substantiated

A TOwnSendite's
Comment

Sometimes you hear remarks like
the following:
What good has the Townsend
Plan done us?"
why do they want to reach for
the moon when they would stand a
better chance to get reasonable
pension?"
'Why don't the people pack the
meeting-halls as they did at first?"
Now, as a matter of fact, the
Townsend movement has made the
nation pension-minded, even if it
did no more.
The Townsend people are not
reaching for the moon; they are not
asking for neither 10, 20 or so thou
sand dollars per year, nor are they
demanding any specified sum. They
are asking for whatever a 2 per cent
transaction tax will bring, not to
exceed 5000 per month.
Before the last presidential cleo
ton, many politicians and business
people joined the movement for pri-
vate and business reasons and a good
portion of the rank and file joined,
thinking that was all there was to
it. Some people were SO naive and
simpleminded as to think that all
they would have to do was to put
their names on paper, turn over
| rs cents and presto; the thing was
done. Now some of these tirnid felix's
are sitting back saying 81 hope they
make it but how do we know we viii
ever get it?"
To these people | will say: Never
was worthy cause put across with
out mighty effort-even accom-
panied by some pain. It takes Will
ing workers-even martyrs at times
but what's worth having is worth
struggling for.

GREAT FALLS.-Three delegates
from the Workers Alliance were seat
ed in the Cascade Trades and Labor
Council at the last meeting These
delegates were William Davey, Man
uel Batista, and R. w. Richardson.
A committee was appointed from
the council to act with the master
bakers and the members of the
Bakers Union to attempt settle
ment of the Bakers controversy. The
men appointed were Austin B..
Thompson, E. R. Kennison, Keith
Dolson, Lawrence Nelson, and E. G..
Malin. Due to the Importance of
this meeting, and at the request of
the committee, Homer Whitmore,
John Clark and B. l. Steinmetz were
added to the committee. These men
are officers of the assembly.
The unions of Great Falls donted
$500 to the Newspaper Guild to as
sist them in their battle with the
Seattle Star Publishing Co. A strike
has been in progress against this
publishing firm for some time and
it is a mixed-up affair and the News
paper Guild is experiencing some
iurisdictional misunderstanding with
the Teamsters.
The assembly protested any re-
ductions in WPA work or employees.
The measures now in Congress, espe-
cially Senate Joint Resolution No.
176 and House Resolution No 440,
were both endorsed. Both these
measures are designed to benefit the
WPA Administration. The House
measure was introduced by Senator
Swellenbach and Congressman Allen.
A request Of the Montana State
Federation of Labor for funds for
organizing purposes was placed on
file.

is a depression here and it's getting
worse.
Do you gentlemen deliberately
ignore the fact or are you so cussed
ignorant that you are honestly un-
aware that products of the machine
industry, due to the ever increasing
efficiency of machinery with conse-
quent inhuman speed-up of labor, is
now approximate to 1929, with eight
to ten million still unemployed.
A lot of glib clap-trap has been
put out by you phoney American
Planners about the constitutional
rights of American workmen to
work. This covers plenty of terri
tory. Suppose we take you at your
word and demand as our constitu-
tional right immediate employment
in privately owned industry for
every unemployed employable in the
United States, or else. What then?
As a matter of fact your fake Ameri-
can Plan does not desire to elm
mate unemployment; what you want
is an army of unemployed potential
seabs and strike breakers ready at
hand to disrupt and destroy any eff
forts of labor to establish decent
standard of living in our country. 1t
is already being demanded of dis
charged WPA workers in this COM
munity that they accept employment
far below the WPA union scale of
62l2c for common labor.
Quit kidding yourselves, realize
that time marches on, and labor is
marching with it keeping step as
never before. And that singing your
plaintive swan song enormously Ia
beled the American Plan, is as futile
to prevent your departure from pow
er as King Canute's forbidding the
tides to rise on the shores of Eng.
land thousand years ago. Accord
ing to recorded history, the tide came
in regardless and Canute would have
drowned had he not retreated. This
