The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-05-07
Let the Tribune Whine

Covering before the colossal gains OF Germany's
Communists, in Sundays elections, the Chicago
Tribune tries to develop antired hysteria among
its readers by pointing to the lesson it draws from
the raid on the Soviet Trade Delegation in Berlin
The thing that seems to trouble the Tribune
most is that monarchists, czarists and other coun
terrevolutionary emigres from Russia, were not
in control of the Soviet Embassy. The hundreds
of Ebert-Socialist police who raided the Soviet
Offices found real Communists representing the
First Workers Republic, and to be sure, there
was some Communist literature about Russian
Soviet rule has demanded apology of the Berlin
government, and will no doubt get it, just as the
white terror governments of the Baltic states have
bowed before Moscow, when they failed in their
antiSoviet plots
This frantic Chicago Tribune, that skirts the
fringe of lunacy every time it considers affairs
Bolshevik, made protest against the open attack
of the United States government against Soviet
Russia, when this country had declared no war
the Workers Republic. Even now it closes its
columns to the facts offered by Captain James v.
Martin, as published in the DAILY WORKER,
showing how the American Relief Administration
under Herbert Hoover, aided Yudenitch in the
west, and the confession of the anti-Soviet State
Department, under Secretary Hughes, that the
13,594O26 rounds of ammunition to the Kolchakist
white armies in the Far East
The Tribune's propaganda of anti-Soviet hate
will not go far when the workers and farmers learn
these facts. Russian Communists are going to
remain Communists even when placed on Soviet
I'd 20 allegations, assigned to Soviet diplomatic
leno,r en- And Communists do not need to spread
i da in foreign lands. The local condi-
ton, ii each nation developing out of the CAPT
taist system, provide the lessons that will teach
the workers and farmers that they must take over
all power.
The capitalist class today holds power in all
lands except in those nations under the banners of
the Union of Soviet Republics The Chicago
Tribune is trying safeguard that power that has
drenched the world in blood, that is fomenting
wars that has plotted these past six years for
the overthrow of the Russian Workers Republic.
The Tribune has not been content to let condi-
tons develop naturally in Soviet Russia. Neither
has the capitalist government of the United
States allowed the Russian workers and peasants
to develop their own rule. Instead Washington has
made use of every form of yellow propaganda,
costing millions of dollars; it has sent its armies
invasion of Soviet soil, it has furnished
arms and ammunition to the white armies of the
Observation-Disclosures.
The United States government has done all these
things, and it has been applauded by the Tribune
and by all the kept sheets of the bosses, because
they know that all natural developments in Rus
STA tend to the strengthening of Soviet Rule They
know that the Workers and Farmers Republic
cannot be overthrow from within, so they must
needs crush it from without if they can. The
Tribune confesses that this is also impossible thru
its editorial whine the fact that Communists
are in control of and that perhaps some Com
munist literature was found in the Offices of the
Russian Trade Delegation in Berlin. Let it whine.
South Dakota announces that it will send 100
delegates to the National Farmer Labor Conven-
ton in st. Paul, June 18th. And they'll all be
city and land workers who know why they are
going to St Paul. They all want class party
an, anticapitaist party.
The International Ladies' Garment Workers
Convention is in session in Boston. 1t has
an opportunity to write history in the American
labor movement by repudiating the expulsion
policy of the Sigman administration in the union
this past year.
Workers.! Stay away from Pullman! There is
n strike on there. Don't allow yourselves to be
used as scabs. Better also stay away from every
other strike zone. Be careful of the labor agents
,ho come promising good jobs in distant cities.
