tunities for Americans" wherein the
Post declares that an oil concession
has been granted to an American
(Sinclair) concern, in the region Of
the Caspian sea, and that Persia is
now anxious for the coming Of Amer
lean capital to construct railways,
tramways, electric lights, power
plants, factories, sawmills, roads,
etc.
"a new spirit, resembling that
which has transformed Italy and
Spain, has manifested itself in Per-
sian affairs" tags this inspired state
ment. Consequently the advent of
Americans is welcomed, and induce
ments to capital are offered which
will doubtless greatly accelerate the
development of the country. The
mineral wealth of Persia is now
under inquiry by several American
syndicates.
Having indicated that American
investors would be turned over to
British trade routes, the Persian
Sinclair propaganda goes on to say
that tie Persians are "deeply resent
luA OF tne IullueIlCeS WHICH nave DeSH
exerted against them by British and
Russian policy" and that Americans
will therefore get much better con-
cessions than would ordinarily be
thu case.
AS the trump card in the prospec-
tive stock-selling campaign, the
American public is assured that the
Persians (woh so recently made a
treaty with the Russian neighbor,
whom they are said to resent), "are
proud of the record they have made
in assisting DR.. Millspaugh, the
American financial adviser who is
now, on the recommendation of the
Department Of State, undertaking the
economic regeneration of Persia"
There is one touch of industrial
realism in the prospectus: 1.-THE ma
tives are good workers when properly
coached"
Negotiations between the American
international Corp. and the Ulen Con-
tracing Co. of New York, on the one
hand. and the Persian Government
on the other, as to railroad construc-
ton, have begun. Reports from
Europe that the Sinclair oil concession
has been cancelled are not confirmed.

Correction IN Zinoviev Letter

There was a mistake in the letter
by Gregory Zinoviev, chairman Of the
Communist international, to the Com
munists Of America. The following
is the correct text for the part in
which the mistake occurred:
g. even in a few Sections Of
the international, the traditional So
cial Democratic attitude toward the
farmers is still very strong. The
Communist international was born
from the womb Of the Second Inter-
national. II is no wonder that indi-
vidusl Communist parties still pay
heavy tribute to the Social Demo
cratic tradition. especially in the
question Of the attitude towards the
farmers. The Social Democratic par
ties Of the Second international even
in their best days were in essence
guild parties, which did not set them
selves the task of the real overthrow
Of capitalist rule, but confined them
selves to the fight for the partial inn
provement of the condition Of the
working class within the framework
OF capitalism. This guild Menshevist
tradition can still be nerceived mostly
in the question Of the attitude to-
wards the farmers"

0KLAH0MA'S EX-
GOVERNOR LOSES IN
SUPREME COURT TILT

WASHINGTON.-The petition Of
former Governor Walton of Okla
homa for a review of his impeach-
ment and removal from office by the
Oklahoma legislature was denied to-
day by the United States Supreme
Court.
The decision of the Supreme Court
to refuse to take under consideration
the proceedings by which Walton was
impeached and removed has 40 direct
bearing on the merits Of the case.
Walton appealed TO the Supreme
Coust for review on the grounds his
trial had not been constitutional. The
court decided today it has no juris-
diction or reasonable cause to inter-
fere. Walton has another appeal still
pending before the court, but the rul-
ing Of the court today was regarded
as final.
In opposing the petition, the aitor-
ney general Of Oklahoma and the
managers Of the assembly argued
that the matter involved was purely
a s-ate question and not within the
scope Of the United States constitu-
ton or the jurisdiction Of federal
courts.
In reply to Waltons assertion that
the majority Of the members Of the
legislature had not been qualified TO
sit as judges upon him because Of
their alleged Ku Klux Khan aiiilia-
tons, counsel for the state quoted
the section Of the Oklahoma consti-
tuition which provides:
each House will be the Judge of
the election and qualification Of it's
own members"
On this score IL was argued that
whatever Walton's allegations. he had
no right TO challenge the qualiica-
lions Of the members of the Court of
impeachment.

struggle. The trade union bureauc-
racy then decided to strike up an al
lance with the middle classes led by
LaFollette thereby diverting the rising
anger of the masses into the safe
channels of petty-bourgeois reformism.
The Workers Party Against La
Folletteism.
BY this move of the trade union
bureaucracy, the movement for a
farmer-labor party has been defeated,
but not the class struggle. The latter
continues and so does the political ex-
preston of the class conscious work
ers of America-the Workers Com
munist) Party.
This party stands for the social
revolution. 1t is the most implacable
and uncompromising enemy Of Amer
lean capitalism. And because Of that
the Workers Party is the only labor
organization in America ready at all
times to engage in struggle against
any and all manifestations of capital
list rule. The Workers Party there
fore stands up against LaFolletteism
as the only defender of working class
interests.
LaFolletteism is a political alliance
Of the y-bourgeoisie and the trade
union bureaucracy. The Workers
Party is the party of the class con-
scious workers and the political ex-
preston of the proletarian class
struggle. AS against surrender to the
middle classes, which eventually
spells surrender to Big Capital, we
say The proletarian class struggle
on the economic and political field.
And as against LaFollette party we
say: A political party Of workers
and poorest sections of the farmers

America.

izations of the workers. The result
was dissatisfaction and restlessness
in tho ranks Of labor, which has been
threatening to find its expression in
an independent political party of

And what would that mean? The

labor against the daily manifestations
Of capitalist exploitation and against

bread is buttered on. They are con

ests which they are determined to
defend.
Now, what happens is this. When
these middle classes come into sharp
collision with the monopolized indus
tries and big bankers, which usually
happens in times of crisis and econ
omic depression, they (the middle
classes) incline more towards the
workers. On the other hand, when
business is comparatively good and
the workers attempt to utilize the
situation to better their own condi-
tions, the middle classes Immediately

as it reflects itself in the minds of
the middle classes themselves, that is,
when considered from a subjective
point Of view. effectively, however,
this LaFollette movement is merely
one Of the means in the hands of
capitalism for the perpetuation of the
present order Of society. Whatever the
motives Of its participants and what
ever the intentions of it's leaders, the
LaFollette movement, can do nothing
else but strengthen capitalist rule and
the system of capitalist exploitation
in the United States.
The fact that the trade union
bureaucracy is in alliance with La
Toilette does not change the funda-
