LEON TROTzKY UPHOLDS
zINOVIEV IN DEFIANCE OF
JOHN BULLS THREATS

MOSCOW, April 1s.-Mlnlster Of
War Leon Trotsky, speaking here,
declared himself In accord with the
statement made by G. ZlnovIev,
president of the Communist Inter
national, that Soviet Russia would
refuse to meet the entirely fancifuI
claims made by the British govern
ment In behalf Of it's capitalist ell
ents. Trotsky said that the Soviet
government would carry out any
engagements made by It's represent
atives at London. II should not be
understood, however, that Moscow
would be inundated by Inspired
propaganda campaigns in the Brit
Ish capitalist press.
The breaking off Of negotiations
with Roumania did not mean war,
he continued, altho there was such
possibility. Germany was the bat
tlefield of the revolution Of the
west, and the 5essarabian question
would be solved In connection with
Germany's fate.
The trade unions in Russia have
decided to permit the workers to
abstain from work for eight days,
beginning April 26 and ending May
2. The period will cover the Easter
and May and 2 holidays.

farm cultivation. The farmer
immigrant would be required to
go to states or sections where
farm help is needed.
Should he leave the soil he could
be seized as an undesirable" and de-
ported on complaint Of his employer
This is facilitated by the registration
clause in the bill.
A Southern Cotton Scheme.
Senator Simmons idea, it was
learned, is to provide cheap and semi
compulsory labor on the tobacco and
cotton fields which have lost their
Negro tenants and day laborers thru
the migration to the industrial north.
War With Japan Nearer.
Passage Of the immigration bill
puts America just that much nearer
to war with Japan. Even if President
Coolidge vetoes the bill the Japanese
have learned that the legislative
branch of the government is indiffer-
ent to ordinary diplomatic courtesies
where they are concerned.
1t was not merely exclusion that
was at stake. Exclusion was carried
out fairly completely under the "gen-
tlemen's agreement" that existed be-
fore. It was the obvious anti-Asiatic
bias with which the act went thru.
The reduction of the immigration
quota for Europeans to 2 per cent Of
the nationals living in America at the
time of the 1890 census and the reg
istration restrictions put on these i'm
migrants who are admitted will lesser
the friendship OF Europe and tend BY
that much toward war.
For Use Against Strikers.
Progressive labor is concerned mos
with the power which the immigra
ton bill gives the anti-labor admin
istration over foreign born workers
coming in here. By putting the bur
den of proof on the immigrant it will
be possible for the government t
pick up strikers of apparent foreign
birth and hold them in custody unit
they can prove their citizenship o.
their "desirability." 1t is pointed on
that the free use Of deportation war
rants on steel and coal strikers II
1919 will be intensified under the new
law.

Senate Democrats
Call On Coolidge
For Party Showdown

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Senate
Democrats, after series of confer
ences, today called for a showdown
by President Coolidge on his views to-
ward pending bonus proposals in the
Senate.
Senator David l. Walsh, Massachu-
sets, in charge of the Democratic Boz
nus bill, announced he would not
press for the Democratic cash pay
ment plan if assurances were received
from Republicans that the President
will not veto the Republican "insur-
ance policy" plan.

Raymond White, one of the

that the DAILY WORKER is a
bulwark of strength to the

their lawyer to concentrate

taken action to make May Day holiday for every member

The Harlem Section recommended to the Central Ex-

the First Of May IT they could AVOID it, and that those
bers who were compelled to work that day should
donate to the DAILY WORKER their wages for May Day.
The Central Executive Committee concurs in this sug-
gestion and urges all Party members to make May Day
holiday whether they work that day or not dona-
ton Of days wages the member is obliged to work

tons will help to build the DAILY WORKER.
