in the hearts Of all oppressed peoples
as their friend and champion. The
example Of Russia granting self-de-
termination to all national minorities
within the old czarist empire is but
one example. The contrast that this
policy Of the revolutionary workers
OF Russia makes as against Gompers
policy of echoing the words of Secre-
tary Of State Hughes, agent of Wall
Street, must make Gompers grind his
teeth in rage.
Gompers' role as a servile tool of
American Imperialism is nowhere
more strikingly illustrated than in the

small sections of the organized work

cal recognition for himself.
What Gompers' policy means, for
the workers in the United States, is
weakness, decentralization, and a help

ton Of the bourgeois state apparatus
by the fighting organs of the probe
tartan class struggle, and the organi-
ration of new proletarian class
power by those organs.
The form Of proletarian state
power generally best adapted to its
purpose is that Of the type of the
Soviet State. This has been demon
strated by the experiences of the Rus
sian and Hungarian Revolutions,
which greatly extended the experience
gained by the Paris Commune in 1871.
It is precisely this type, arising i'm
mediately out of the broadcast mass
movement, which assures the greatest
activity of the masses, and conse-
quently the best guarantee of ultimate
victory.
The Soviet type of state is fatty op-

Enemies of Soviet Russia always
delight in pointing out that it is Sam
uel Gompers, titular head of the Amer
lean labor movement, who fights
against Russia most bitterly Not even
those bourgeois Russians who lost
their means of exploiting Russian Ia
Dor because of the revolution, are
able to spit more venomously at the
Workers Republic than Gompers.
What is the explanation of this fact,
that Gompers, labor leader" hates
the Soviets at least equally as much
as does Judge Gary or the Grand Duke
Michael?
Can it be that Soviet Russia men
aces any interest Of the working
class? Is that why Gompers hates
Russia?
No, that is not the reason. To prove
that Soviet Russia is a tower of
strength for the labor movement in
every country, it is not necessary to
believe what the Communists say.
Bitter anti Communists, tabor lead
ers" of the reformist stripe thruout
the world, have acknowledged and
publicly stated, that Russia is the one
strong bulwark against capitalist re-
action and the destruction of the la
Dor movement.
The first desire Of all enemies
of the struggling proletariat is, to
overthrow the present form of gov
eminent in Russia, l. e., the rule of
the Workers and Peasants
The overthrow of the Workers and
Peasants Republic would be the
severest blow which the information
al working class could sustain. For
no matter what the differences di-
viding the working class interna-
tionally, theoretically and organiza-
tionally, one thing is certain: Soviet
Russia is the last stronghold against
the growing international reaction
which threatens to submerge the
working class.
The above is not a Communist pro-
clamation. It is a document signed
in Berlin, in May, 1928, by Edo Finn
men, then secretary of the Amster-
uAAu lulCIudJlOudl HtuGIdJiOu Oh lTdu6

also secretary of the Transport Work
ers' Federation of the Amsterdam In
ternational 1t was also signed by
Robert Williams, chairman of the
Transport Workers Federation, and
leader of the British Transport Work
ers' Union.
The entire British labor movement
is unanimously (and enthusiastically
in favor of recognition of and treaty
with Soviet Russia by Great Britain.
The British labor movement is ready
(no matter how reluctant its leaders,
to fight out general election on this
issue. This should be convincing
proof that the British working class
feels sympathy and even love for the
Russian working class and its gov
ernment.
When Churchill, in 1920, threaten
ed war against Russia, the British
working class organized a tremendous

former against the alliance Of land
owners and capitalists. The transit
ton period on the whole is character
lied by the cultural growth of the
proletariat and Of the entire toiling
masses. Not until this epoch has
fulfilled this historical task will so

society.

beat down labor and nationalist re-
sistance to the orders Of Hughes, or
whoever happens to be the mouth
piece Of Wall Street at Washington
Its only activities are in the direc-
ton of enforcing Wall Street orders
upon South and Central America.
A recent example of TINS servility
is given in the mission" that Com
pers sent to Nicaragua in July Of
this year. The official repoi pub
lished in the American Federationist
for October, discloses that the whole
mission" had but one object-to force

a representative sent down there by
the United States department Of
state" 1.-THE U. S. state department
is in accord with the legislation pro-
posed and Charge de Affaires, Mr..
Thurston, so advised the Nicaraguan
government when the bill was under
consideration. Notwithstanding the
congress refused to enact the bill"
That was the reason the mission was
semitic try to force the Nicaraguan
congress to pass the bill sent down
for them by Mr.. Hughes. The report
threatens violent resentment be-
cause this was not done. The whole
affair is palpably another glaring in
stance Of Gompers filing his classic
role Of agent of American imperialism.
Gompers hates Soviet Russia, be-
cause Soviet Russia is the bittterest
enemy in the world of just such i'm
perialist intrigue, such slavish sub
mission to the rule Of capitalist i'm
perialism, such arrogant carrying out
Of the policies of imperialism under
the cloak of Tabor"
And in the same issue of the AmerI-
can Federationist which reports, thru
Gompers, this black piece of treach-
cry to the working class, the old hypo-
critic bowls against the "machination
of Wall Street." And his man Friday,
Chester Wright, prints an eulogy Of
american diplomacy" as "the best
brand of diplomacy in the world" re-
marking that sit is possible for an
American to be proud of many Ameri-
can institutions"
Because Soviet Russia is the fam
ing embodiment Of working class re-
volt against the treacherous policies
of all agents of capitalist Imperialism
such as Gompers, and because Com
pers feels the volcano of a similar re-
volt gathering force beneath the sur
face of American society also, the
head of the American Federation of
Labor hates Soviet Russia with deep
and abiding hatred.
But all Of Gompers' wild abuse of
Soviet Russia has been as futile as
the armies of allied capitalism which
were thrown against the Workers Re-
public. The Seventh Year of Work
ers' rulo is now being celebrated, and
to the extent that Gompers curses this
glorious day, the workers of America
and of the world should rejoice. And
for the same reasons Gompers hates
Russia because it stands as the guar
antee of the complete downfall Of the
capitalist system. The workers love

cal enemy Of Soviet Russia than ever
Secretary Of State Hughes?
Gompers is Enemy of Workers.


Secretary Of State Hughes?
Gompers is Enemy of Workers.
The answer to this question is that
Gompers has interests, separate from
and opposed to the interests Of the
working class, which are threatened
by the rise of revolutionary sentiment
among the workers. Soviet Russia is
the great center of revolutionary thot
and feeling in the worlds working
class. Therefore Gompers hates and
fights against Soviet Russia.
What are these special interests
that Gompers represents? They are
manifold, but all come under the gen.
eral heading of "Gompers' policy of
cooperation with the ruling class"
Gompers' settled policy, in all fields,
is to support the capitalist system and
American Imperialism in its merciless
exploitation of the masses of morgan
lied workers at home and the masses
of the population in the colonial and
semi-colonial lands abroad, in return
