j. s. SENATORS ASK
FAy0RS FOR Poles
Seventy Per Cent of Letters
Received in Poland SO
Couched.

Warsaw.-SiXty thousand Poles and
Jews have registered at the American
consulate in Warsaw and are now
awaiting their turn for American vises.
Under the American per cent law
this fills Poland's quota for the next
two years. If Poland's quota is re-
duced 90 per cent by the new Johnson
bill, enough immigrants have regis
tered to fill the quotas for the next
-four years
During the last few months seven
out of every ten letters received at
the consulate have been from senators
and congressman pleading that special
favors be shown certain Jewish immi-
grants-and occasionally one asking
special consideration for a Pole.
High-Priced Lobby.
The letters which are being typed
by hundreds of officers and legislators
in Washington are the result of power
full political pressure upon the writer's
by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid society
known as the "Hias." This society
maintains a large lobby in Washing
ton under the direction of Isadore
Hershtield, an immigration lawyer and
the former president of the organiza-
ton. American officials allege that
Hershfield is receiving $4,000 a year
for the direction of this work.
Another powerful group maintaining
a huge lobby in Washington in order
to defeat the Johnson bill is the steam
ship lines. Eight of the largest trans
atlantic Lines stand to lose millions of
dollars annually, if congress halts the
flood of immigrants.

passage money resting in the Golfers
of the companies totals more than
$40,0O0,OOO.

Terrorizing the Philippines

The United States court martial at Fort McKin-
ley has sentenced more than two hundred Filipino
scouts to five years of military penal servitude.
This cruel punishment was inflicted upon the
native soldiers because they dared ask for the
abolition of the unspeakabe conditions under
which they have been serving and for equal pay
with white soldiers.
This is the first manifestation Of desperate brute
force that the American imperialist clique has
manifested in the Islands since its mercenaries
destroyed the first republic in the Orient the Phil
ippine republic This is the official answer of the
despoiler and strike breaker General Wood to the
cry of the Filipino people for freedom from the
clutches of the Yankee exploiters.
This incident is of manifold significance. 1t
shows the extremities of brutality to which the
American capitalist class is ready to travel in
der to maintain its position as a ruling class 1t
again brings into ugly relief the harshness and
cruelty with which exploiters are accustomed
to treating not only Filipino but also American
privates in their army. We recall the severe punish
ment that General Pershing and his terroristic
aides were wont to infict on the private soldiers
in the American Expeditionary Forces while they
were shedding their blood and giving away their
lives for the safety of the fabulous profits and
swollen dividends Of the bosses. We recall the
gw4ftness with which hundreds of injunctions have
Deem Issued against the American workers and the
years of jail served by our revolutionary spokes
men, the Communists.
The display of brute force by the American i'm
peraists in the Philippines should to inspire
the Filipino masses to better and more effective
organization in their fight for freedom 1t should
to hasten the end of the policy of their ma
tonalist representatives in the United States
playing with, and catering to, the democratic and
republican hckspittles and tools of the very mill
tarist caste and imperialst junta that is Cypress
ing the Filipino masses and the American working
class.
The thousand years of prison to which the Philip
pine soldiers were sentenced should serve as an
eye-opener to the exploited workers and dispos-
sessed farmers in America Our exploiters will
treat us, as they have in the past, with the same
severity, with the same barbarian cruelty as they
are now treating the Philippine soldiers Let us
learn from this and help our Filipino brothers in
their struggle against their foreign and native ex
ploiters.
The thousand years Of military Jail to which the
Filipino soldiers have been sentenced will not
break their fighting spirit for freedom from all
forms of exploitation, whether it be American or
native.
