Succeeds Like Success

Russia, operating only on a de facto
recognition Of the Soviet govern
ment.
Sweden Carries On Negotiations.
Sweden has in addition been con-
Quoting for the past three years, ne
gotiations for complete recognition,
but is holding out for a better bar
gain. Premier Truger, like Poin-
care, has still some illusions about
being able to secure better terms
thru bargaining, but the recent ac-
ton of Norway and the popular de-
mands for full recognition at home
will force the militarist Premier to
capitulate.
The recent news that Sweden has
entered the recognition column, rno
unconfrmed, proves that official rec
ignition is only matter of days.
Denmark will follow suit before long.
1t would not remain the only Scan
dinavian country without diplomatic
relations with Russia.
Egoism In Czecho-Slovakia.
Czecho-Slovakia is suffering from
n overdose of egoism. 1t con-
siders itself a first class power and
is also expecting something in return
for full recognition. 1t forgets, how
ever, that it is itself new state, and
must seek its own recognition by
Russia.
The European states, which have
so far failed to establish any Off
cial relations with Russia include
France, Belgium, Switzerland, Hol-
land, Spain, Portugal, Jugo-Slavia
and Roumania. Among the eight
countries which have maintained an
attitude of notwithstanding several
will be greatly Influenced and will be
moved to revise their attitude by the
recent recognitions. Russia is now
preparing to negotiate with Russia
at Vienna the question of 'Bessarabia,
the annexation of which, altho ap-
proved by the allies, was never
agreed to by Russia.
Jugo-Slavia, a new state, like
Czecho-Slovakia, must also secure
recognition by Russia. Holland has
recently entered into discussion re-
garding recognition. Spain has al
ready evinced an interest in the rec
ignition question and is expected to
follow the Italian example. Switzer-
land is out of consideration now on
account Of the boycott which Russia
has imposed upon the Republic for its
failure to prosecute those responsible
for the murder of Vorovski.
A. Prophecy Fulfilled.
Belgium is beginning to show the
weakening influence of Poincare but
recognition does not seem either
sought or expected from that quar-
ter. In France the bitter ender on
the Russian question-strong and
angry voices are being raised for
recognition or at least a reaproach-
ment with Russia.
The coming elections which may
bring the defeat of Poincare's Ma
ton bloc by the parties of the radi-
cal bloc will probably determine this

More cred" Scares

John T. Adams the national chairman Of
the republican party, and the members of the
republican national committee, have both
proven themselves to be inveterate liars. On
the floor of the senate such venerable truth
seekers as the aged Lodge, the crafty Smoot,
and the naughty Lenroot have been forced to
admit that their national committee has lied
and lied miserably.
Now the leading committee of the republi-
can party is showing signs of acute despera-
ton. In an attempt to becloud the issue and
rally all the possible strength to put an end to
the oil disclosures it has fired barrage against
Senator Walsh and especially Senator Wheeler,
charging them with being "reds." This rot
was supplied to the republican committee by
the Department of Justice and the Burns
Agency. It is exactly this kind of "informa-
ton" that has been used to convict innocent
workingmen, honest strikers of crimes COM
mitted by the paid agents of the government
and the gunner employed by the Burns
agency.
Wheeler and Walsh are not now and never
have been proponents of any doctrine that
savors Of working class opposition TO the
capitalist system of government and industry.
They are both members of the democratic
party which is as much an organization of
Wall Street as is the republican party. Walsh
has played with the big power interests of his
state. He has shirked his duty in uncovering
the principal" in the oil scandal. Wheeler
has been closely associated with Walsh for
many years Wheeler has not done a thing to
have his committee expose the dastardly activ-
tiles of the Burns Agency and the Department
of Justice in the Trade Union movement
Wheeler is not showing the slightest intentions
TO attack Burns and Daugherty from this angle
either. He is limiting himself to scandal, cor
ruption and other highly "commendabe" out
bursts of moral Indignation Wheeler is as far
away from Communism and the Workers Party
as any good democrat can possibly be.

henchmen will not fool anybody It is an

ing those significant remarks on New
Years Day. Several countries have
already fulfilled his prophecy.
Two first class powers England
and Italy-and two of secondary inn
portance, Norway and Greece, have
extended de jure recognition to the
Soviet Union and have resumed full
diplomatic relations, which were i'm
terrupted by the revolution.
It was reported the other day that
Sweden has also recognized Soviet
Russia, altho the news has not been
confirmed from Soviet sources.
Historical Antecedents.
The first forms of contact with
Soviet Russia were trade agreements
which the various Western States
negotiated with the Soviet govern
ment after acknowledging its de fac
to existence. These instruments were
later developed in de jure or COM
plete political recognition and the
establishment of normal diplomatic
relations which existed before the
November revolution.
The first countries to extend de
jure recognition were those border
ing on Russia, with the exception of
Roumania. Esthonia recognized the
Soviets in 1920 and was followed the
same year by Latvia, Lithuania and
Finland. Poland signed the Riga
agreement in 1921 and Germany ne
gotiated the Rapalle Treaty next door
to the Geneva Conference in 1922.
England, Italy, Norway and Greece
are of the 1924 crop Of recognition
countries.
In addition to the ten European
states which have extended de lure
recognition to Russia, there are three
other states which have previously
recognized the Soviet government
and have for time maintained dip
lomatic relations with it-namely,
Bulgaria, Austria and Hungary.
These countries have, by the Brest-
Litovsk Peace Treaty, extended full
recognition to Russia, but severed
diplomatic relations when the treaty
was scrapped.
Austria has maintained trade re-
latlonS With Russia, and While the
writer was in Vienna last year, the
gorgeous Czarist Embassy building
was turned over to the Soviet trade
delegation-an act usually anticipat-
ing complete recognition. Fascist
Bulgaria which has offered an asy-
lum to Wrangel and his bandit troops,
will have to do number of things
before Russia will agree to renewal
Of diplomatic relations.
Similarly, not much love is lost
between Soviet Russia and Hungary,
and establishment Of friendly re-
lations" with Hungary doesn't seem
to be very popular in Russia.
Besides the Is European coun-
tries, which have recognized de jure
Soviet Russia, must be added Den
mark, Sweden and Czecho-Slovakia,
which maintains trade relations with

vexed question. The English and
Italian recognition acts are making
themselves felt even before the cleo
tons.
Asia Coming Around.
In Asia, Russia is recognized de
jure by Turkey, Persia and Afganis-
tan, and de facto by China and
Japan, leaving only one independent
tate-Siam-without official rela-
tions with Russia. Complete recogni-
ton by China is expected shortly,
and tho Japan is leaning toward the
U. S. since its last catastrophe, Rus
sian recognition is the question of
the day in government and public cir
cles there. Japan and the United
ftates are exerting an influence over
China against full recognition Of
Russia, which according to recent
news, has been settled by the Chinese
and Russian representatives
In America, neither the United
States-a bitter ender like France
nor the different Latin Republics
have any relations with Russia. The
dominating influence of American
Imperialism in Central and Latin
America has great deal to do with
the failure Of those republics to re-
sumo diplomatic relations with Rus
STA.
The Present Russian Policy.
The Soviet policy with regard to
securing recognition from other
powers is quite different today from
what it was two or three years ago.
The Soviet government was then
willing to offer greater concessions in
exchange for recognition and re-es-
tablishment of relations with other
countries. The Inauguration of the
new Economic Policy in 1921 was a
powerful influence in this regard.
Russia needed contact with the out
side world to carry out its program
of economic reconstruction. But the
powers decided to wait and see, hop
ing to secure better terms by this
method. Even at Genoa, when
George and Schautzer realized that
they had waited long enough, their
fear for France prevented their meet
ing Chicherin half way. Time was
passing and Soviet Russia was re-
facilitating itself by the scant means
at its command. Thru trade agree
ments with its border states, the
scandinavian countries, Germany,
England and Italy, Russia carried on
its limited trade without credits and
political recognition.
Russia's Remarkable Achievements.
By means of strict economy and
improved management, it has accom-
plished remarkable results in indus
try and agriculture. The powers be-
gan to consider whether the pro-
longed waiting hadn't already cost
them too dearly. I remember hear
ing Zinoviev declare at the 18th Con-
gress of the Russian Communist
Party last summer that the longer
the powers wait with recognition the
more they will be charged for the

The Party

This issue Of the DAILY WORKER carries
much material that has to do directly with the
policies and tactics of the Communist move
ment.
While all of this material is of the greatest
interest to every member of the Workers
Party, there is no reason why it should not
have an intense appeal to all readers of the
DAILY WORKER, in fact, to all men and
women who labor.
There is the official statement of the Work
ers Party and its role in situations similar to
that now existing in Minnesota. The struggle
in Minnesota is one that is rapidly developing
in many other states, where similar political
phenomena will appear.
Also in the material that is being published
on the discussion within the Russian Commun-
list Party. The Russian party is not different
from the parties in other countries. 1t has
problems very much similar to those that exist
elsewhere, only on different scale since it is
the ruling party in nation covering one-sixth
of the earth's land surface All workngmen
and women DESTROYS of building a class party
of labor in the United States will profit by
reading the discussion within the Russian
party.
We cannot urge our readers too strongly,
therefore, to carefully read and study this
material. Do not put aside this issue of the
DAILY WORKER until you have read "The
Role of the Workers Party in the Farmer
Labor United Front" on Page Four and "The
Struggle Within the Russian Communist
Party" on Page Five You will become a
better fighter for labor for doing IT,

What CHASTITY sight this high-priced cap
ltalist democracy of ours is! 1t is unfortun-
ately true that dead men tell no tales. Other
wise the country would today be treated to a
sorry spectacle of the hottest of holy, of en-
ploying class saints being tarred and feathered
in the pitchest black of sordid political cor
ruption.
AL Jennings, former train robber, today
evangelist, has told the Wheeler committee
that million dollars was spent at the republi-
can national convention of 1920 to put over
Warren Gamaliel Harding, Senator Boise
Penrose, Will Hays, and Harry M. Daugherty
were among the political pawnbrokers playing
with the fate of the country who received
sums ranging from $4,000 to $250,000. 1t is
very likely that this was the S25O,000 found
in cold cash in Mr.. Penrose's vault after his
death. At the time this huge sum of cash was
discovered it was great surprise and mystery
to many that so practical business man as
Penrose should have failed to invest this large
sum of money. Now the rooster has come
home to tell why the slick, crooked boss of
Pennsylvania capitalist politics did not dare
invest this money at a substantial profit.
The million dollars thus distributed at the
republican convention is only drop in the
bucket of what was spent. 1t is fortunate for
many men high in the inmost circles of finance
and politics that Harding, Jake Hamon, and
spirits cannot communicate information even
to Sir Oracle Lodge, the principal figurehead
OF the school of scandal, otherwise known as
the United States Senate.
This million dollars was paid out by Jake
Hamon, another notorious underworld charac-
ter, in behalf of certain big interests who
counted on being given concessions of the
type of Doheny's and Sinclairs. Here we have
living proof, tho dead men are involved, of the
fraud capitalist democracy is. What utter
hypocritica balderdash to talk about the
potency of universal suffrage Of an anonymous
mass of workers whose sources of physical and
mental life are pawns in the ruthless hands of
the present ruling class. This business is as
old as capitalist control of government in in
dustry. In 1896 McKinley's campaign fund
was more than six million dollars Roosevet's
election was procured in 1904 at $11 900, 900
The Clapp committee disclosures in 1911 re-
vealed that the big oil and other interests con-
tributing to these campaign funds contributed
for precisely the same reasons then as Sinclair
and Doheny did only a few months ago-to
SECURE better hold on the government which
will thus protect their big interests more eff
fectively.
That million dollar convention with its
scores of millions of dollars Of graft and brib-
cry, with its Harding Coolidge administration,
with its 67th Congress which handed out
$4,000, 100000 in bonuses to the big interests
is stern reminder to the working and farming
classes that it is high time that they take mat
tiers into their own hands and smash this ugly
picture of the pure, democratic capitalist gov
eminent to smithereens.

ssXI EFT we will continue to tar
1 and feather, drown, lynch
and hang every whitelivered abol-
itionist wLo dares pcllute our
soil" said a fiamboyant editorial
in the Squatter Sovereign, a pro-
slavery paper published at Atchi-
son, Kansas, a Border Ruffian
stronghold.
The Slaveryites lived up to this
promise. The Free State men at
this time had not begun to arm,
but doggedly and quietly went
about organizing their own govern
ment at Topeka. Their actions in
furiated the Southerners. Now be-
gan the long list of crimes that
made the soil of Kansas reek with
blood.
1t would be impossible to give
a full record here Of all those
crimes. The least that happened
was the destruction of newspapers
that protested against Southern
injustice, such as the Parkville,
Missouri, Luminary, which was
burned down, the machinery
thrown in the river, and the edi-
tors threatened with a similar
fate if they INDUCED in further
free speech.
Hundreds Murdered.
There were hundreds Of abol-
tionists murdered in Kansas; hun
dreds of their wives and children
were gibed at and threatened and
terrified; hundreds Of their cabins
were. burnt down, md thousands
Of head OF cattle stolen.
One Of the murders was the
killing Of Samuel Collins, owner
Of a sawmill near Atchison, by
Patrick Laughlin, a pro-slavery
man. No effort was made to pun
ish him by the authorities. But
something was done by them In
another case. Charles Dow, a
young Free State man from Ohio,
was. cruelty shot down from be-
hind by Franklin Coleman, a pro-
slavery settler from Virginia.
What the authorities did in this
case was to arrest Jacob Brarson,
with whom the dead man lived.
A pEo-slavery sheriff charged
Branson with having made threats
to revenge his friend. Branson
was rescued by a group Of his
friends with rifles, and taken to
Lawrence for protection, Law
renee being entirely settled by the
Free State men.
The sheriff called en- the gov
ernor, and the governor called on
the militia, and with The aid Of
Missouri citizens, about twelve
hundred armed men marched on
Lawrence, to put down the re-
bellion."
