COMMUNISTS IN
GREECE VICTORS
over fascist
Series of Black Shirt
Meetings Scuttled

ATHENS, Sept. 2o.-PIans of
Greek Fascist for a series of
public meetings in Salonica, the
chief purpose of which was to
have been attacks on the mill
tant workers of the country,
have gone up in smoke, owing
to the active work of the local
Communist groups.
A personal representative Of
the Italian Fascist, Mussolini,
had been sent to Greece to take
part in the Salonica demonstra-
tions, the chief figures in which
were General Kondyles and
Metaxis.
War on Communism.
The avowed design Of the meetings
was ito fight the growing strength of
Communist sentiment among the rank
and file Of the workers"
The local branches of the Com
munist Party Of Greece issued a mani
festo to the workers to stay away
from the Fascist meetings and to at
tend instead a mass meeting Of labor
ing men and women. Fascist officials
and leaders found halls that were
practically empty, while an immense
throng crowded thru the doors of the
Communist meeting halls in the same
city.
The republican government of
Greece, while not openly avowing its
sympathy with the Fascist leaders, is
known to be helping them in every
way. Premier Sofoulis toured Mace
donia a few days before the proposed
Fascist meeting, expressing his fear
that "the country is endangered by
the Communists" and urging that the
citizens do everything in their power
to Offset Communist influence.
Sofoulis recently received a COM
munication from Premier Zankoff
Fascist head of Bulgaria, appealing
for military aid against the Commun-
list uprisings in Bulgaria. The Greek
premier has publicly stated that he
fears the Greek workers to be in
sympathy with the Bulgarian revolu-
tionists.
Government Can't Handle Strike.
The government has proved itself
unable to handle the strike of the
railroad workers, the bakers, the
printers. and sections of the sailors,
all of whom quit their jobs two weeks
ago. They have since been joined by
the government employees, who de-
mand increases in wages.
The General Confederation of Labor
has issued a manifesto to all workers
on strike to stand firm against the
social-democratic government.

GITLOW URGES
CORRECTION IN
SPEECH REPORT
Not Opposed to Political
Action for Communists
BY BENJAMIN eITLow.

Especial to The Daily Worker.)
TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept. 29.-In w. J..
Whites article on my speech at Cir
ard, Ohio, a gross misstatement ap-
pears. He quotes me as stating that
the working class could never hope
to emancipate itself thru political &C
ton.
Workers Must Own Government.
am at loss to know where Com
rade White got that statement be-
cause l never made it. He probably
misinterpreted what | had to say
about the election of Foster and Git
low. I stated that when the workers
of this country would be prepared to
elect Foster and Gitlow they would be
prepared to replace the present CAPT
talist government with a workers gov
eminent, owned and controlled by the
workers and serving the interests of
the workers. In such a government
the workers would not be concerned
with presidents and vice-presidents.
The workers government would be
altogether different from the present
government of the United States. 1t
would be a government of Soviets
drawing it's power from the ranks of
the workers in the mines, mills, shops,
ETC., and from the workers on the
land.
Embraces More Than Elections.
AS a Communist | have long real
lied that the emancipation of the
working class will be accomplished
thru political action. To hold other
wise would put me out of the pale of
Communists. AS a Communist | do
not take a narrow view of political
action.
To me political action is not con-
fined merely to election campaigns
and the casting of ballot Political
action includes all forms of action on
the part of the working class that un-
dermines the political power of the
capitalist class, and prepares the pro-
letariat for the struggle against and
final overthrow of the capitalist state
Parliamentary action is only form
of Communist political action, limited
in it's scope, because Communists
maintain that thru parliamentary ac-
ton and the use of capitalist state ma
chinery the workers can never hope
to abolish capitalist rule let alone the
capitalist system.
