Mr.. Gompers' Friends

The paans of praise sung in behalf of the de-
ceased MIR. Gompers illuminating. So reaction
airy newspaper as the Chicago Tribune declares
that 'there has never been a labor leader in this
country the equal of Samuel Gompers and we
doubt there has been his equal in any other
country"
The Tribune is absolutely correct from its EN-
plOying class point Of view. There has never been
in the history of American labor a lieutenant OF
capital in the ranks of the working masses who
rendered as much service to the exploiters as Mr..
Gompers did. We seriously doubt whether and are
quite certain that there can be no equal of Mr..
Gompers in this respect in the future of the Amer
lean labor movement.
In shedding tears over the death of this stall
wart ally Of the enemies Of the working class, one
of the BLACKLIST if not the blacklist, newspaper in
the country, the New York Commercial, declared
that "The organization holds nobody fitted to take
his place and carry on in the same masterful
fashion" Such are the compliments accorded
Gompers by the worst foes of the workers of this
country.
The comment or the successor of Mr.. Gompers
is almost as Illuminating. Beneath the surface Of
the numerous compliments showered on Mr. Green
by the open shoppers of the country find an
undercurrent of anxiety. 1t is true that the CAPT
talist reaction has unlimited faith in Mr.. Green.
The latter gentleman a delegate to the last
democratic national convention and was seated
alongside of the bloody strikebreakng sheriff, Don
Chafin of West Virginia. Mr.. Green was also a
champion of John w. Davis lawyer for j. p Nor
gan and company and the Standard Oil, in the last
campaign.
What the employing class fears, therefore, is not
Mr.. Green but whether DIR. Green, not having the
advantages of tradition and prestige that Mr. Com
pers had, will be able to carry out its policies
against the labor movement as effectively as his
predecessor The friends of Gompers are the
friends of Green. But the conditions under which
Mr.. Green viii be working in the interests of the
exploiting class will be very much different from
the conditions under which Mr.. Gompers was work
ing That is why the friends of Gompers tend to
be disturbed at this moment
The workers of this country know only one duty.
The workers know that now that Gompers is dead
they must resolutely set themselves to the task Of
killing Compression scourge of the American
working class.

Fascist Movement In
Melbourne, Australia,
Sleeping in Files

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 25.
A search among the police files at
Melbourne by the newly-elected labor
government in the state of Victoria
revealed the existence of a fascist
organization.
The files showed that all members
of this secret force belonged to influen-
tial families, and were authorized to
carry arms, to wear badge under the
lapel Of the coat like those worn by
American movie sleuths, and to have
special marks and lights on their
motor cars. Not only were the files
marked Strictly confidential" but
there was note to the police chic.
that the strictest secrecy was to be
observed about the force.
The labor government of the state
has ordered the secret force to disband,
but there is no proof that this has been
done. The discovery OF the existence
of this confidential file reveals how
far the fascist movement has develop
ed in Australia.

Paris Developments

Recent weeks have witnessed gigantic Commun-
list demonstrations in Paris. The Communist Party
of France has very properly utilized the occasion
of the arrival of the Soviet ambassador Comrade
Krassin, to mobilize the working masses for an
expression of their confidence in the first workers
republic.
This has brought howl from the hyenas of the
capitalist press. In fact, jealous imperialist
watchdog, the American Ambassador Herrick, has
found it necessary to investigate the likelihood of
a proletarian revolution in France. This Yankee
imperialist bloodhound has assured the Washing
ton administration that Morgan's investments in
France are secure.
Now Comrade Krassin comes forward with
additional cause to disturb the peace of the in
ternational capitalist clique Comrade Krassin, in
occupying the embassy, has found certain docu-
ments which the czarists had forgotten by accident
of course, to steal These documents shed very
welcome light on the imperialist Vaccinations on
the eve of the war. These documents divulge de-
nitely that imperialist France and czarist Russia
were In a secret agreement to slice up Turkey
amongst themselves. This agreement was binding
upon the two capitalist powers while they were in
alliance with Great Britain in the last conflict.
This treaty was kept secret from Great Britain
by her Russian and French imperialist allies.
The fraudulent pacifst Herriot now shows signs
OF extreme nervousness. He is frightened to death
lest Soviet Russia make public these terms. Her
riot fears that the publication Of this treaty by the
Soviets would spoil his plan to enter into new
accord with Stanley Baldwin's reactionary British
government Besides such step by Soviet Russia
would knock the props from under Frances hypo-
critical policy in the Near East. 1t would again
tend to draw the Turkish government away from
France and towards Soviet Russia
These Paris developments are very significant.
They not only indicate the real character of CAPT
talist diplomacy but they also show very clearly
the foundation Of sand on which the European
political mperialist edifce rests.

Life Among Riffs
Not So Pleasant
When Bullets Whiz

HAMBURG, Dec. 25.-The Hamburg
volkszeitung publishes an appeal from
a German, one of many, who was
driven by unemployment and hunger
to join the Spanish foreign legion for
the war in Morocco. This soldier
writes of the terrible conditions and
the brutal manner in which the Span
iards treat these German soldiers. He
appeals to the German government to
demand the return Of all Germans be-
longing to the foreign legion. He
states that most of the Germans are
hospitals, wounded or i'll, and that the
Spaniards neglect them and treat
them as beasts.
The German government recently
demanded that the Spanish govern
ment return all such Germans.
Shortly after the world war, when
American service men were looking
in vain for a job in the country they
had fought for, Spanish agents lured
a number of veterans into the Spanish
Morocco army. The recruiting stopped
as soon as the first tales of the Span
fish officers treatment of the Amer
lean fighters came back to the Amer
lean side Of the Atlantic.

that the government was going to cut

force of the government in order tc
compel a lower wage standard.

Gales Cancels Concessions

President Gales of Mexico has issued orders can
ceiling many concessions held by foreigners who
have not complied with the provisions under which
they were granted.
Most of these concessions were held by Amer
leans and unless they represent the investment of
very little capital or are worthless from other
causes, President Gales is going to discover that
the friendship of the American Federation of Labor
ofIicaldom is Judas loyalty. Every president Of
Mexico since the overthrow of the tyrant Diaz has
had little trouble until he began to enforce strictly
Mexican laws regulating land and natural re
sources Immediately after this has been done the
American oil and mining capitalists, backed by the
United States government, have fomented and
financed uprisings so that Mexican chaos could
become an excuse for intervention.

bulwark against landlordism and capitalist reac-

It's only center of resistance today are the Com

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Wherever
and whenever the Communist Party
and the Soviet government come up
for discussion, there life is injected;
no matter how dead or dormant the
environment-it arouses to life and
struggle.
Miss Jessica Smith just returned
from Russia, after a stay Of three full
years, spoke or Russia, "As Like II"
at the civic club here She witnessed
the slow, but certain progress toward
the ultimate Communist goal. She de-
scribed the schools, the farm life, the
factory. She didn't disguise the facts.
The children even lacked pencils, still
lack these and many other essentials.
1t was hard TO move the peasants from
the old habits of life and work; hard
to make them give up the antiquated
implements, to get them to take up
cooperative production with modern
machinery. But the beginnings are
being made. She cited instances in
the new movement that will after a
decade or so, revolutionize peasant
life and Russian agriculture. OF the
factories many facts and figures we're
cited by her TO show the remarkable
