After years vilification of Soviet
Russia, the Socialist Party has at last
wakened up to the fact that this poll
cy is not paying proposition. The
bitterly Communist leaders of the
Socialist Party have voted to elimin-
ate further attacks upon Soviet Rus
sia from their official publication, the
Socialist World, admitting that pre-
vious attacks were not based on au-
thentic information.
The question Of future policy on
Russia was put up to the national
executive committee of the yellow So
cialists when another communication
from the Delegation Abroad of the
Young Socialist Revolutionary of
Russia" was sent in for publication.
Evidently the appalling loss of men,
bership by the Socialists here made
their national executives reconsider
their destructive and disruptive anti
Communist policy toward Soviet Rus
sia.
Two Bitter-enders.
Edmund T. Melms, organizer in Mil
waukee, and Wa R. Snow, secretary
for Illinois, voted for the continuance
Of the old policy of Justification and
vilification.

Harkins commented that "there is
a tendency on the part of contribu-
tors on the Russian question to write
or have printed articles that need to
be verified on many points" He said
that he was Gin favor of not print

Hillquit commented 'T am opposed

MUSSOLINI SHOT

Disruption Now Rules in
Italian Provinces

Especial to the DAILY WoRkER)
ROME, Italy, July 13.-In spite of
the most severe censorship of out
going messages, and even limitations
ON Italian papers, the news has come
out that the Fascist are fighting
among one another. An attempt was
made upon the life of Mussolini yes
terday and it is feared that the gov
ernment will become even stricter
against all Socialist and Communist
workers.
Rossi Seeks Death.
Cesare Rossi, former Fascist Off
cial in charge of the interior depart
ment press bureau, tried to commit
suicide in prison where he is held in
connection with the kidnapping and
murder Of Giacomo Matteotti, Social
list deputy. He was unsuccessful. He
has many nasty charges Of violence
and graft against him.
General de Bono, deposed head Of
the Fascist national militia, now abb
sorbed into the army, was interro-
gated again for six hours because Of
his supplying the passports to Volpi
and the other Fascist officials and
thugs who attempted to- escape after
the murder Of Matteotti.
Workers Attacked.
A group Of Communist workers
who put red flag on the statue of
the poet Berlii were attacked by carl
biniers and dispersed.
The report has come from Brescia
that the local Fascista is in uproar
since the killing of the secretary Of
another member of the organization
over the robbing of store.
Mussolini still sits in the seat Of
control but his days are being told
off, according to all indications.

Japan's Ambassador
Leaves Dissatisfied
With u. S. Attitude

Especial to the DAILY WORKER)
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Leaving
Washington today, Masano Hanihara,
retiring Japanese ambassador, returns
to his country convinced that a more
satisfactory disposition of the Japa-
nese immigration question must be
arranged if trouble is to be avoided
between the two countries, that, al
though outward anti-American demon
strations in his country soon will end,
resentment on the part Of the Japa-
nese viii continue under the surface.
Hanihara has not resigned as am.
bassador, but, the understanding here
is that he probably will not return
to Washington as ambassador.
The future course Of Japan in deal
Ing with the immigration question
is expected to be decided after confer
ences between Hanihara and the To-
kio governmnt. 1t is doubtful that
any further step will be taken by
Japan before the elections in this
country, but there is every indication
that Japan does not regard the ques-
tion as a closed incident.
The American government does re-
gard the question as closed.

MORGAN -DAVIS-BRYAN
TICKET WILL NOT AID
YOUNG WORKERS OR old
BY MAX sALZMAN.
National Committeeman.
Vounu Workers. Leaoue.

After a long period of uncertain
ty during which delegates to the
democratic convention stated they
would not accept any candidate Of
j. P. Morgan, John W. Davis, cor
poration lawyer, for the Morgan in
terests was chosen as candidate for
president Of the United States. The
nomination for vice-presldent Of the
brother of the fossilized guy, who
denies that he has descended from
monkeys (probabIy because he still
Is one), certainly offers no help to
the workers and working farmers
who are facing the worst crisis in
history.
Davis, the tool of Morgan & Co.,
no doubt, would do his masters
bidding and protect the foreign in
vestments of his boss even tho he
would send the American Youth in
to another sIaughterfest. The fact
that America is facing a serious un-
employment situation, and that
many millions of workers will soon
be walking the streets is not worry
ing Mr.. Davis. He has a solution
for this problem in advance. The
foreign investments of Morgan, COM
ing in conflict with the investments
of other capitalists would permit
Mr.. Davis to do away with the un-
employed, by making them the fer
tiIlzer for the soil of the country in
which they will fight for Morgan. I
beg your pardon, America.
Davis and Bryan represent the
Morgan interests, who have LARGE
investments in the textile mills
where some hundreds of thousands
of children are employed. Morgan
is the expIoiter not only of the adult
and young workers, but Of the little
children as we'll. And Davis. and
Bryan are his candidates.
Davis and Bryan represent the
large capitalists, those who desire a
highly centralized government,
which will be used to a far greater
degree and more openly than befoke
against the working class. Davis
and Bryan represent the same in
terests as the strike breaker Cool
idge and "HeII and Maria" Dawes,
also the enemies Of the workers.
The workers and workina-cIass-
minded farmers can defend their
interests only by supporting work.,
ins-elass candidates, and by joining
in the struggle that will finally re-
suit in wiping the capitalists from
the face of the earth.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Rein-

pacifying the bitter quarrel aroused
by bureaucrats during the past year

trusted with the job Of raising hell, :"
according to reports from employees on
the line, and the chiefs of the train
service brotherhoods have several
times had to intervene to prevent
strikes which Lands seemed anxious
to bring on.
The brotherhoods believe that the
administration deliberately
planned to make failure of opera
ton of the property in order that it
might be turned over to the Guggen-
heim-Morgan syndicate that controls
every other big interest in the terri
tory. Another motive seen in the pol
icy of trouble making is an attempt
