Red-Coats Red?

Only recently the offices of the National Minority Movement, (radical movement in industry) was raided in London because it was disseminating pamphlets inciting the army to revolt. Last week the British Communist Party published a letter to the Labor Party and the Trade Union Conference urging them "to win the soldiers and sailors from the capitalists," to make the issue as between the workers and the exploiters "so that the army and navy mutiny," for "there is no doubt that the capitalist classes intend to intimidate and, if necessary, crush the workers with the army and navy . . .."

Said J. R. Clynes, leader in the Labor Party:

"The Communists' fiery talk of mutiny and revolution belongs to an age which has passed. Their most furious utterances arouse, among people who know, more amusement than concern for what they may say."

Soldiers at Aldershot have been laughing at the Communist propaganda and tearing down the radical broadsides posted in the neighborhood.

The National Minority Movement planned a conference at Battersea this week to endorse their program: "A pound a week more wages and an hour a day less work."
