The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-11

AS WE SEE IT

ACCORDING to elements, that have
n again blocked the Mephlstophelian
designs of the Soviet government,
the latest outrage committed against
decency by the BoIshevik authorities
is to organize semi-nude societies, in
order to overcome the shortage of
clothing Our information comes by
way Of Teheran, Persia, and was pub
lished in the Chicago Tribune. This
means that 1t is as true as the auto
biography of Baron Munchausen or
the diary of William ]. Burns.
DUT what is funny is good whether
ID II ID true or not. The workers
have brains, and using them is good
mental exercise. There is no better
for Of mental gymnastics than look
ing for a particle Of truth in the
columns of the capitalist press in
general and in the Chicago Tribune
in particular. The Teheran cores
pondent, tells us that the Russians
are wearing skins to save the cloth
ing BILL. He did not say whether the
new wearing apparel was made out
OF the hide of the menshevih or the
Georgian patriots" who were recent
ly slaughtered in big heaps by the
c-r-o-o-l Cheka. But we venture to
say, II the skins originally adorned
other and more respectable animals,
that the new style will not prove any
more economical than the old. I'm
fortunately tigers and hyenas are not
as plentiful as mensheviks.
This beastly trick of the Bolshe-
viks was nipped in the bud,
literally. The cold weather came
along and the modern cave men and
cave women had to run around the
block to keep from freezing. But
as fast as they ran, the cold was
still faster, with the result that they
now ind themselves all dressed up
and no place to 90, except near the
furnace. But picture of a Red Army
regiment in the capitalist press few
days ago, showed set of fellows
neither shirtless not coatIess, and evil
IDENTIFY anxious to skin the capitalist
class on general principle. It's not
bad story at that.
GENERAL Ludendorff, has a scrap
~ with Prince Rupprecht Of Bavaria,
The former wants the Kaiser restored
to the Hohenzollern throne. The
latter does not, desiring the seat
himself Unless William the Last
sits on it, Ludendorff intends that
II shall be covered with lacks. Prince
Rupprecht insists that he will plant
his posterior on it, even if he had
TO decorate that part Of his anatomy
with cast iron basin. So the battle
RACES.
nUPPRECHT suggests that Luden-
IN dorf has brain which completes
in clarity with a kettle of mush. The
general reports that the princes word
of honor would turn grave robber
green with envy. Even kings can be
abusive. my word is as good as a
kings" declares Ludendorff Rupp-
recht smiled. Perhaps he thot the
word of honor Of king is as worth
less as that of the man who
promised to produce some steam heat
in the editorial Office of the DAILY
WORKER. The radiator is there
alright but II is too independent. It's
like Communist who does not be-
! long to the Workers Party. 1t is
connected with nothing. II 1t stays
in the same condition much longer,
IL is liable to freeze to death, but not
before the editors turn into icebergs.
Keeping kool with Koolidge seems
TO have been taken seriously.
THE sudden illness Of Senator Bo-
rah is causing considerable spe-
culation in Washington. Shortly after
Il was announced that he was slated
for the important OF chairman Of the
senate foreign relations committee
he was suddenly taken ILL., His stom-
Zach was blamed, but perhaps his food
WAS guilty. Doctors usually. make
the poor stomach the goat. But It is
always more sinned against than sin
ming Borah is known to be strong
advocate Of recognition OF Soviet Rus.
