THE rEDEnArroS's DECLARATION.

The position of labor has been helped in the
United States by the action of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. in session in Montreal in refusing
TO urge the recognition by our government of soviet
Russia.
The radicals were in an evident minority in the
organization; least, radicals Of that disordered
mental type who never wait for facts upon which
TO base their actions.
The report of the committee was adopted. Listen,
then TO its process Of reasoning; 1t declared that
the Federation would not be Justified in taking any
action that might be construed an assistance to-,
approval OF, the soviet government, long as 1t
is based upon authority which has not been vested
in it by popular national representative assembly
for the Russian people so long as II endeavors
to revolutions in wel-established civilized
nations of the world, long as 1t advocates and
applies naturalization to labor and prevents the or
ganization of and functioning Of trades unions and
maintenance of free speech free press and free
public assemblies"
OF course. The welfare of all of us in based
upon our fundamental American doctrine of self
government That any should be confused in
his thinking TO conclude that the power which
could overthrow the undesirable government of the
czar thereby proved itself the friend of the oppressed
is astonishing. Lenine is as complete an autoerat
as the car ever was. He is as far removed from
receiving his authority from the consent of the
governed as the dynasty of the He main
tans less OF law and order and the orderly pro-
cesses of the law than the cars His rule is adj
mttedly one of force. No elections have been called
are likely to be held, No American counten-
ance his method of acquiring and maintaining his
power without repudiating every American concep-
ton of self government.
Not only is Lenne unwilling that the people of
Russia should govern themselves, but he wishes to
bring disaster to the rest of the world by encourag
ing awless minority to overthrow the wel-ordered
governments OF other lands. which the majority has
set up for its protection and he wishes to do it by
terror and force.
To maintain himself he abrdges free speech,
free press and free assemblage He rofs the people
of every fundamental right by which order could
come out of chaos through the formation of a
sound, concerted public opinion. Freedom, peace
and prosperity until the people
made articulate TO demand it.
We wish the vision of the committee had been
widened, that 1t might have extended to all the peo
pie, in its declaration against the abridgement of
the rights of labor in Russia. Freedom of action for
all, including labor should have been their demand
The merits of soviet system not in issue
The issue is dictatorship of the worst and most
vicious type under the camouflage of a name with
an appeal to some people
We believe the rank and file Of American labor
is always safe 1t is its foolish leaders of the type
Of the Montreal minority who make many people
in America afraid of labor.

THE SCORE FOR DEMOCRATS.

600 voters solicited has lost all of its interest by
reason of choice having been made by party

Iectly the drift to candidates. The proportion
favoring certain leaders was borne out in the con-
vention, generally, though the delegates made a
nomination, under necessity of breaking deadlock.

ences. .rr-- -. ..t
There remain to be considered the preferences
shown toward democratic leaders. Democratic dis
satisfaction was shown with their by CIV
ing more votes to Hoover than to any democratic

than to Wilson But it yet to be whether
the delegates to San Francisco will align themselves
