Trifle

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. B.
Thinking the $4,000 bar pin
which he found lying upon the
floor Of a theater was ten
cent bauble, Robert Vincent, a
bluejacket aboard the U. S. S.
Sturtevant, lying at the naval
base, at first was "going to
ditch it or give it to a kid"
But he tucked it into his jacket
and forgot about it until he
saw in a newspaper that a
woman guest Of a hotel had lost
such a strife"
Vincent's commanding officer
advised him to take it to the
hotel. There he learned that
it was the property of Mrs. C.
H. Meade, of Beckley, w. Va,

HUGHES KEEPS
HIS BAN ON
SOV|ETS
Refuses to Recognize Russia
Until "Red" Campaign in
U. S. Is Ended
BY H. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.

Secretary of State Hughes sees
no immediate possibility for the
establishment Of diplomatic rela-
tions between the United States and
Russia, it was indicated today
Through the publication of hand
book on foreign relations which he
has written for the Presidential
campaign.
Reviewing the whole history Of
the Administrations correspondence
with and concerning the Soviet
government since March, 1921,
Hughes said that the most serious
objection to dealing with Moscow
was the continued propaganda to
overthrow the institutions Of this
: country" and declared that the
United States could not enter into
negotiations until these efforts d.
rected from Moscow are abandoned. :"
Department Has Facts.
Information in the possession of
the State Department, Hughes said,
"conclusiVely establishes these
facts: ~ The essential unity, OF the
various Bolshevik organizations
known as the Communist Party,
the so.called Soviet Government
and the Communist International,
all of which are controlled by a
small group Of individuals technic-
ally known as the Political Bu-
reAu of the Russian Communist
Party; (2) the spiritual and organic
connection between this Moscow
group and it's agent in this country
the American Communist Party
and its legal counterpart, the
Workers Party
mot only are these organizations
the creation of Moscow" Hughes
declared, 'but the latter has also
elaborated their program and con.
troll and supervise their activities.
while there may have existed
in the United States individuals
and even groups imbued with
Marxist doctrines prior to the ad-
vent of the Communist Interna-
tional, the existence Of disciplined
party equipped with a program
aiming at the overthrow of the

and violence is due to the inter

APPEAL BY COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL.

Demand: Democratic government;
immediate adult suffrage for men and
women without any qualification; the
right of combination; freedom to
strike and the right to collective bar
gaining; freedom of political opinion;
the right of assembly-to hold meet
ings without the presence of the po-
lice; real freedom of press and speech
for the working class. Put forward
also your economic demands.
Combine your labor unions and or
ganize those who have not yet joined
and compel the government to recog-
nize them as independent legal organ
izations.
Workers and peasants Of JapanI
The savage sentences on your fell
low workers in Maya shows that the
government holds out the same fate
for your comrades now awaiting trial
in Toxic, in Gumma and other places.
Remember, these cases show that
the government intends to pick out
and crush all the most active and
thinking members of your movement

and thus demoraIize your ranks by
leaving you leaderless. The Commun-
lists are men and women who fight for
the interests of the working class. In
striking against them the government
is striking against you. You must
raise your protest in their defense.
Commence your campaign for political
liberty by demanding the release of
all those who are prosecuted for their
political opinions, and the cessation
of all future political prosecution.
Demand the release of the political
prisoners.

party.
Altogether the German party ar
pears in a state of regrouping of fac
tons, revision of theology, recastins
Of tactical slogans. Events after the
convention seem to indicate strong
and healthful tendency towards con-
solidation along the lines of revolu-
tionary realism. Thus the meeting of
Berlin functionaries, some three thou
sand in number, unanimously indorsed
the union policy of work within the
old organizations. Another hopeful
sign is the decision to organize local
committees of action, composed not
only of party members but of all sorts
of militant workers who are in favor
of revolutionary struggle. The task
of those committees will be to unite
all local revolutionary forces and to
be the leading body in days of actual
battle.
The deepest regret l heard ex-
pressed everywhere is over the lack
of great leaders. The party is there,
the forces are there, the conditions
are ripe, If only the workers of Ger
many had a great all-embracing revo-
lutionary leaderl With a feeling
akin to envy the German comrades

the right side. It is known that the
G. l. was in favor of her being elected
to the G. e. G. Some of the leaders
were also in her favor. The conven-
ton, however, refused to do her the
honor. Clara Zetkin was neither made
an executive member nor nominated
for the reichstag federal legislature).
In the rush of battle no quarters were
given. The new C. e. c. consists of

Some Left Arguments.
If you talk to the leaders of the ma
jority they point out number of diff
ficulties they are confronted with.
They assert that the bulk of the men,
bership is in the grip of impotence
and is intolerant towards everything
that smacks moderation. This, they
say, is also the reason why Clara
Zetkin could not be elected. They
assure their loyalty to the C. l., but
they express apprehension as to their
ability to hold the extremists in
check. They reiterate their readiness
to stay within the labor unions, but
they stress the existence of millions
of unorganized who have to be kept
in contact with the shop and factory
committees in order thus to win them
for the revolution. They declare
themselves in favor of partial slogans
which are to be utilized in revolu-
tionary spirit but the masses of la
Dor, they say, are sick Of the struggle
for petty improvements. They ac-
knowledge allegiance to the united
front tactics, but again they caution
against the mood that prevails in the

protection OF the law by their Trade
Union Bill which in eact will paralyze
your organizations. They try to bride
your leaders with high posts in the
government. They offer you land
courts which will settle rent disputes
in the interests of the landlords. They
talk about universal suffrage, but they
do not intend to give it to you. They
employ every trick to keep you in
bondage.
1t is significant that the tyrannical
Russian tsarist COVE vnment, prior to
the revolution of 1905, employed the
same measures of repression and cum
ming. But the Russian workers re-
jected the offer Of official" unions
and instead, they fought to overthrow
the tsar and established their own
rule.
Toilers of town and country.
You are disfranckised, unemploy-
ment and starvation stare you in the
face and your rulers can offer you
nothing but increased exploitation
and poverty, and repression that will
force you back to serfdom. The radi-
cal bourgeoisie try to win your sup
port by pretending to fight for re-
forms, but they only seek their own
interest. Beware of them.
The government recently dissolved
parliament and appealed to the ma
ton" But you have no voice in the
election of new government. If
you think that a change of govern
ment will bring you any improvement
in your condition, you will be disap-
pointed. No government of bureau

You have shown good fighting spir-

by compelling your laDor leaders to

enough. You must storm the citadel
of reaction.

To the Workers and Peasants of japan
PEAL By cOMMu

Your country is in the power of a
ruling class of landlords, militarists,
bureaucrats and capitalist monopolists
who refuse you any rights, who ex-
plot you numerically and Cypress
you with the cruel hand of violence
Since the great disaster that befell
your country last September the op-
preston has become greater and the
masses are seething with discomfort
and revolt.
Your ruling class is totally incap-
able of solving the economic crisis
prevailing in your country and of cop
ing with the great task of restoration
While your rulers call on you to cher
ish the interests of the nation, their
only concern is how to g9t the great
est profit out of the national disaster.
While they quarrel over the spoils,
nothing is done to ameliorate your
condition. Hundreds of thousands are
still living in temporary huts in pow
erty and misery. Tens of thousands
are unemployed, thousands of ruined
farms are left unrestored.
Your rulers can offer you no pros
pect of Improvement: meanwhile the
country is falling into the power of
American finance which will impose
on you the additional burden Of ex-
ploitation by foreign capitalists and
convert your government into an in
strument of foreign imperialism
Your ruling class, the landlords, the
militarists, the bureaucrats and the
big monopolists, faced with a crisis
they cannot solve, aud seeing the ris-
ing tide of revolt against them, are
growing frantic in their endeavor to
retain power.
The phantom Of dangerous
thoughts" is haunting your ruling
class and it is introducing a reign of
terror to destroy it. The wholesale
massacre Of Korean workmen, the
murder of Japanese workmen in Ka-
meidok, the savage sentences recent
ly passed on the workmen IN Nagoya
and the forthcoming trials of the Com
munists in Tokio,-whose only crime
is that they champion the cause of the
toilers-witness to the ruthlessness of
your ruling class. IT realizes that its
rule is being challenged.
But your ruling class also tries to
employ cunning in order to enslave
you. Your rulers offer you fictitious
recognition of your labor unions if
you will agree to save the face of
your exploiters by sending delegates
to the capitalist conference of the
Labor Bureau of the League of Ma
tions in Geneva. They offer you the

After telling the committee he had
paid every penny of expense CON

the ground that it was Il personal
