MAY DAY OVERSEAS.
MILITARISM IN RUSSIAN. MOSCOW, May 1. From the Red Square to the tiniest village militarism marked the May Day demonstrations. Units from all sections of the army, followed by tens of thousands of civilians, their banners acclaiming Soviet power and achievement, marched past M. Stalin (secretary of the Central Executive of the Communist Party). IN AMERICA. CLASH AT TORONTO. NEW YORK, May 2. May Day was unusually quiet Loth in North and South America. Ten thousand people paraded in Brooklyn without a sign of disorder. At Toronto 6000 participants in a celebration at the park clashed, first with college students and secondly with rival factions. One student’s nose was broken and two girls were scratched and bruised. Order was restored quickly. In Buenos Aires sympathisers with rival Spanish factions fought with fists and guns in the midst of a parade. Nine were wounded and a woman died of a heart attack caused by the excitement.
