we must strive all the harder for its
success. So far as we are concern
ed, the only limit to your leadership

Communists Carry on.
When John Fitzpatrick deserted
the cause of independent political
action, the Communists stepped into
the breach he left open and made pos
sible the formation of the Federated
Farmer-Labor Party.
When John Brophy betrayed the is
sue of Naturalization of the coal
mines, the Communists carried on the
fight and made naturalization a liv-
ing issue thruout the Mine Work
ers' Union
When William H. Johnson's "Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac-
ton" declared for the continuation of
the time-worn policy of "rewarding
friends and furnishing enemies" the
Communists carried on the struggle
for the workers and farmers party
within and without the C. P. p A.

We can expect some of the progress

camp of Reaction, just as they have
done in the past.
That does not necessarily mean.
however, that the progressives are
hopelessly lost to the movement
when they stray away. If the lost
progressive is sincere in his inten-
tions-if he has the welfare of the
broad labor movement at heart-it is
entirely possible that sooner or later
he may realize the enormity of his
mistake and again take the lead.
In fact, we have the right to ex-

When that happens an entirely diff.
ferent complexion will be placed on
the American labor.
The Communist work for the adj
vancement of the broad labor move
ment must go on, with or without
the progressives. We prefer to have
them go along with us, and we will
even make minor concessions for the
sake of their cooperation, but under
no circumstances will we follow them
on any trail which leads away from
the American labor movement.

BY PROTECTOR.

This is Hearst's latest venture in
the field of heroic" film. The prin-
cipal character is a down-at-the-heels
nobleman who saves his own neck by
turning stool pigeon against the reb-
els who were plotting against King
and Cardinal. He tackles the Job in
approved style, by getting into the
confidence of the conspirators thru
an inn brawl brought vn by indiscreet
public avowal of their cause. He
then vamps the sister of the rebel
leader, learns from heI the hiding
place Of her brother, and proceeds to
arrest him on the Cardinals warrant.
When he gets to the very gates Of
Paris, however, his love for the girl
whose confidence he betra. ed, impels
him to another double-cross and he

In the end, the King himself engi-
neers the clinch.
Robert Mantell invests Richelieu
with a dignity seldom seen on the
screen. Most of the other actors look
very uncomfortable in their costumes
or is it perhaps their role? Alma
Rubens, playing the conspirator's sis
ter, is strikingly beautiful, but Mary
MacLaren, from whom one might ex-
pect much in the role, is a very much
ill-at-ease Anne OF Austria. The only
set-off against the Qualification OF the
Cardinal and his stool-pigeon is the
contemptuous role or royalty In gen.

IN the woefully reactionary Ameri
l can labor movement leader need
not stand far in advance of his fell
lows to gain a reputation for progress
siveness. In fact, to differ from the
trade union bureaucracy on even one
fundamental issue stamps a trade un'
ionist as being progressive.
John Fitzpatrick became an out.
standing progressive thru his stand
for independent political action and
his implied support of industrial un-
ionism. John Brophy became a "pro-
gressive" by supporting Nationalist
ton Of the coal mines William II.
Johnson is regarded as a progressive
even today because of his support in
the past for industrial unionism thru
amalgamation, independent political
action, and recognition Of Soviet Rus
STA.
Judging by the records of such pro-
gressives as these, we may safely say
that the progressive gains his repu-
tation by taking a stand more or less
in advance of the crowd on certain
vital questions affecting the welfare
of the labor movement. eve see this
to be true equally on the political
field, where La Toilette wins renown
thru taking a position far in advance
of the Republican party, while even
Hiram Johnson lays some claim to
progressiveness by differing with the
Republican machine to some slight
degree.)
Words Versus Deeds.
Wherein does the progressive trade
unionist differ from the Communist
trade unionist?
John Fitzpatrick became one of the
foremost opponents of the idea of
independent political action in the
American trade union movement. He
went even so far as cooperate with
the Communists in the calling of a
great national convention for the pur-
pose of forming a mass Farmer-La
Party Yet when the convention con-
vened with 700 delegates and the for
nation of such party became an
immediate possibility, Fitzpatrick
"backslid" and in so doing he "sIid"
so far as even to denounce the very
Communists with whom he had CO.
operated in calling the convention.
Why?
John Brophy elaborated in a pro-
gram for the naturalization of the
coal mines for the consideration of
the Miners Union. Yet when the
time came for Brophy to put up a
fight he deserted the ship and de-
Tended the Lewis administration.

Soviet Russia and British Bankers

We remarked the other day change in the tone
of the British capitalist press when commenting
on the Anglo Russian negotiations and expressed
the opinion that the fact that Soviet representa-
tves had shown no disposition to discuss any trade
matters until all political questions had been
settled, largely responsible for the change in
front.
The London Daily Herald furnishes an addi-
tional reason. w. p. Coates has issued pamphlet
entitled "Russia's Counter Claims" which sets
forth with great wealth of detail the facts upon
which Soviet Russias damage case against the
government of Great Britain is based. The coun-
ter-claims presented by Soviet Russia for injury
to property and loss of life during the invasions
and counter revolutions engineered and financed
by the British government and British capitalists
exceed by millions of pounds the British claims
arising out of the appropriation of British prop
erty owners by the Soviet government Speaking
of the data contained in the Coates pamphlet, the
Daily Herald says
That Russia has, in international law, a
perfectly good case, can scarcely be ques
toned. No state of war existed between the
Soviet Republic and the British Empire. The
action of our Government in sending NUM-
lions and men to the aid Of the various
"White" generals was complete violation of
its international duty. At the worst it was
murder and piracy. At the best it was the
giving of armed assistance to one of the par
ties in a civil war.
The case of the Alabama is conclusive We
then admitted liability to pay damage for
mere negligence in allowing a British-built
ship to be used for the destruction of Federal
commerce In the Russian case the British
government not by negligence but by overt
acts, was directly responsible for far greater
damage done by British ships, munitions and
men.
That fact has got to be honestly faced. For
any attempt to evade it could only result in
the destruction of the cOuntrys moral credit
We have ourselves been instrumental in fran
ing the international law on the question. We
must accept the law even when it tells against
ourselves
Mr. Coates pamphlet-with preface by
the chairman of the Trades Union Congress
does face the facts And it deserves careful
reading, not only by everyone who wants to
understand the forthcoming negotiations, but
by eairyOne who wants to realize what vile
wOrkbeas done in the name of this country by
the 4 IN who were so recently its rulers and
who aspire to rule it again.
Just before the negotiations began the Mac
Donald government was presented with memo.
randum signed by LOndOn's leading bankers
urging it to make no concessions to the Soviet
representatives and the British capitalist press
applauded loudly. The statement in the Daily
Herald is evidently warning to the financial
fraternity that in the matter of dealing on basis
of equality with Soviet Russia and the recognition
of the justice of the Russian claims for the MUIR
der, ravage and rapine perpetrated by agents of
British capitalism, the labor wing of the Labor
party is going to stand for no nonsense.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-Prelimi-

the use Of the radio for political pur-

later these regulations will be taken

Great grief is likely to come to
some of the campaign spellbinders

going to limit all political talks to
ten minutes. The broadcasting sta

hand on top of the other. Often at
national conventions the delegates

doesn't go on the air. The best voice
is the quietly modulated one. Presi-
