RUSSIA IN
Blunt TALK
TO FRANCE
Resent Interference of
Paris in Spy Trials

MOSCOW, April 13.-Russia
today sent a sharp note to
France, rejecting indignantly"
the Iatter's interference in the
trial of anti-Soviet spies at Kief.
The Russian note was in re-
| ply to one from Premier Ray
mond Poincare in which the
French premier urged clemency
for the alleged spies on humani-
tartan grounds.
chitcherln Talks Business.
Georges Chitcherin, Soviet Foreign
Minister did not mince words in his
reply. He declared France had com
mitted a hostile act.
1.-THE Soviet Government rejects in
dignantIy the attempt of the French
Government to interfere in the trial"
he wrote This is contrary to the
most elementary respect for the SOW
ereignty of other countries.
"The French government, more
over, is well aware of the criminal
work of the Kieff accused.
Because these Kieff spies were In
contact with the French intelligence
service, now France attempts to pro-
tect her own spies under mask of
humanity.
This is hostile act. 1t comes in
addition to other hostile acts, for
example, the sanctioning by France
of the annexation of Bessarabia by
Roumania and prevention of Chino
Russian understanding.
Hostile Policy Continued.
"The Soviet government is sur
prised that the French Government
disregards the feeling it's deeds are
creating among the Russian masses
who have not forgotten their suffer
ings and the damage caused by
French interventions.
Nov they see that the French
Government, contrary to other west
ern powers, continues its hostile pol
icy against the Soviet union.
1.-THE Soviet Government disregards
attempts to interfere in the compel
ency Of Russian courts, but watches
French acts closely.
"The Soviet Government repeated
ly has declared its willingness to me-
gotiate a Franco-Russian agreement
and notes that France not only does
not meet this effort. but has recently
increased her hostile policy.
Soviet Rule Is Friendly.
The note concludes by saying that
Russia is convinced that IAN over
whelming majority Of the French pop
ulation will force its governments to-
wards the pathway Of understanding

Ions of grease, and spare truck

shipment.
Shatterina Hoover's Denial.
Hoover denies that Martins cargo
Of food and medicines" was delivered
to Yudenitch's forces. He points out
that Martin sailed up the Baltic in
August, and that Yudenitch did not
enter Russia until October. That is
just the point made by Martin-that
he was decorated by Yudenitch for
"the work you have rendered to the
Russian North Western Army, on
September 4, and that the work in
volved was the early delivery of pro-
visions and this motor transport. He
says it was because Winston Church
i'll, the British war minister, failed to
deliver the airplanes and tanks he
had promised, that Yudenitch failed to
capture LeniDgrad and to gain the aid
of the Finnish army then waiting on
the border to march toward Moscow.
Yudenitch waited until October in
the vain hope that Churchill's British
war materials would arrive. The de-
sertion of Won der Goltz and Bermont,
his Baltic German allies, threatened
his rear and caused a blockade OF the
coast, forcing him to start on his cam
paign when he was unprepared for
severe fighting. The Red Army raj
lied, and the monarchist forces were
destroyed.
ut is true that I entered into ne
gotiations to furnish airplanes to Yu-
denitch's army" said Martin. II did
so because the British link in the
plan for the military campaign had
failed, and because Gen. Goff of the
British Army, who was acting in the
Baltic region for the American gov
eminent, according to all accounts,
assured me that ought to do so.
considered that it was necessary to
get airplanes and machine guns from
Germany, to carry out the policy Of
the American government toward Rus

COMMUNIST,
L.W.W. CLASH
OBICCROWD
CGnnon-Edward Debate
Before Big Throng


Sixteen hundred men and women
packed North Side Turner Hall yes
terday afternoon to cheer their re-
spective representatives, Forrest Ed
wards, of the l. W. W., or James Can
non, Of the Workers Party, in their
debate on the subject: RESOLVED,
That the Workers Party Must Fail to
Achieve Anything of Importance for
the Workers."
Before the debate began Bob Chap
lin, the chairman, spoke of the com
ing revolutionary holiday on the first
of May and pointed out that both of
the groups before him were against
capitalism. Partisans Of both sides
cheered at this and the spirit in the
main was friendly until the end.
Must Serve the State.
But the debating was real clash
of ideas. Cannon, while he paid a
tribute to the l. w. W. members for
their courage in the class war pointed
out that working class power could
not be seized without taking over the
forces of the state.
Edwards led off by supporting the
necessity of industrial action as op-
posed to political action, claiming
that the class struggle is in the in
dustrial field and that the causes of
the struggle arise in the workshops,
where they must be dealt with in his
opinion. The Workers Party leaders
use too many theses, he argued.
Relies on Unions Solely.
1.-THE capitalists own all the re-
sources and means of wealth produc-
ton and don't use Them" asserted
Edwards, while the workers use the
materials and do not own them. The
robbery of wage labor takes place in
industry; therefore, we must unite on
the basis of industry, the. field Of the
struggle"
Edwards argued that when the
crisis came that the state power
crumbled, the only saved institution
would be the unions Of workers in in
dustry and the task Of reconstructing
industry would then devolve on them.
Later in his remarks, Edwards men,
toned that this crisis would not
come until the dim and distant
future"
Dictatorship of Proletariat.
The dictatorship Of the prolelariat
is necessary condition to the work
ers in the crisis OF their struggle
against capitalism " stated Edwards
But the dictatorship cannot be or
eanized by a political party. 1t must
DO from the union CT workers in IN
iusiry."
Edwards summed up his case
against the Workers Party in therole
OF leadership in nine points. Legjn.

party; asserting that 1t is not organ

that indulgence in the program Of op-
portunism, like the old socialist party,
is bound to fail; that slogans lead to
delusion.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The SEN

resolution refusing to halt the investi-

Secretary Mellon demand it be halt

If Mellon wants to resign he will

SULLIVAN IN
FARE WELL To
THE STRIKERS
He Thinks Capitalist
Courts Good Thing

A bitter attack on the iniunc-
ton against picketing as uncon-
stitutional and illegal by the In
ternationaI Ladies' Garment
Workers lawyer, Peter Siss-
man, had Judge "Dennie" SuIIi-
van on the run at the last ses-
sion of his court before he fled
from the courageous picketers
for parts unknown. His place is
being taken by Judge Charles
NJ. FoeII.
Judge Sullivan tried to excuse
his unjust sentences and fines
by putting up a weak defense
consisting of moralizing and
philosophical generalities.
Protects Property.
I'VE must have some sort Of tri-
bunal," said Sullivan. I'VE must pro
tect"-Sullivan almost said property,
but checked himself and finished up
"the people" I'm Russia they have
to interpret the laws, but
judges are best, and that's why l am
going to enforce the injunction,
Sullivan's court room gives the
strikers good education. They are
packed into the court room by the
dozen, and are treated, not as part
of the people" who are supposed to
benefit by the law, but as so many
wooden figures which are moved
around at the pleasure of the property
owners. AS Sullivan talked about
protecting the people he mechanically
took the thousand-dollar bonds which
each criminal striker had to put up
to keep his liberty.
HIllman to Speak.
Sidney Hillman told the DAILY
WORKER that the ten thousand dol
lars put up by the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers is only beginning.
There will be more when it is need
ed" Hillman said. 1.-THE strike is i'm
portant to every union man. We must
all help fight the illegal injunction,
especially those in the needle trades.
The Amalgamated will go down the
line with the Ladies' Garment Work
ers."
The DAILY WORKER arranged
that Hillman should speak at today's
strike meeting.
Nothing further has been heard
from the Federation of Labor officials
regarding the labor parade to be fol-
lowed by a mass meeting. Members
of the Committee of Is" declare they
have heard nothing from the Mayor
to permit. John Fitzpatrick
was instructed to obtain the permit,
but was out of town when called on
by the DAILY WORKER.
compers Does Nothing.
Altho it has long been adver-
tised that Samuel Gompers is to take
definite action in aid of the garment
workers, Gompers has done nothing
about the strike since being in town.
Gompers has been secreted in the Ho-
tel Morrison for the greater part of
the last week, engaged in mysterious
with some of his old pals,
and studying certain phases of women
in industry.
If Gompers is doing anything to
help the garment strikers fight the in
junction, he is keeping mighty quiet
about it. At the Federation head
quarters it was stated his plans are
not known regarding the strike. 1t is
not known by any of the union Off
cials when Gompers will speak at the
long heralded mass meeting, or
whether he will speak at all.
