The impudence of the Britishe
Dor Party in forming a govern
against the wishes of Samuel

still more henious crime of rec6k-
ing the Soviet Government. ii
Chester Wright and the other
nalist stool-pigeons of the Comb
political hosehold who act as liaA
officers between the Department
Justice and the public, begin a serb
of exposures, showing the British d
Dor Party and the Russian Commul
ist Party working hand in hand
bring about the downfall of til
tottering throne Sof the Compel
royal family in the American laboI
movement?
Had John L. Lewis known that the
British Labor Party would recognize
Soviet Russia Internationally, with
out insisting that the workers of Rus

plutes to the Gar to keep the Rus

send a cable to the British Labor
Party congratulating them on al um-

The British Labor Party is@also
responsible for number of Euro

pendence-c OF sid erably less
scurrying to tip their hats to the
of the Soviet Re
public. Austria turned over the old
Russian embassy to the new rulers
of Russia. Norway is getting ready
to sign on the dotted line. While
Mussolini, the Italian Fascist chief
was going over the treaty he was
preparing to sign with the Soviet
envoy in Rome, message arrived
from Moscow, ordering the Soviet
there to send the
treaty to the Kremlin for revision. I
Poincare is liable to be dropped in a
few weeks which may place France on
the list of governments that have rec
ognized the Soviet government. How
long can the fossilized Gompers and
his capitalistic allies in America pre-
vent the White House from withhold
ing Russian recognition?

DR.. Case, one of the many alleged
amorous preachers serving the Lord
in Chicago, is now in Buffalo, ready
to star in the second act of the stir
ring human interest drama with Mrs.
Leland, playing opposite. The holy
man regrets that God is not his
judge. He might allow him to put
on the Holy Ghost as a star witness
for the defense. ~
The Lettish workers who recent
met in Chicago and exposed Riga,
the capital of that country, as capt.
talist press cess-pool, have performed
a public duty as our liberal contem-
poraries would put it. Many of the
workers who took part in the meet
ing are recent arrivals from Latvia,
and were able to tell from experience
the conditions under which the work.
ers of that country live and the
efforts. made by the bourgeois fun
keys who rule Latvia, to poison the
minds of the workers against the
Soviet Republic. American workers
are confronted with the same pro-
blem as are the workers Of Latvia.
The workers of Belfast, Ireland,
the chief stronghold of reaction in
Ireland, have organized a real live
labor party and promise to give the
overlords of shipbuilding, linen and
something to ponder over in
the near future. The rise to power
of the British Labor Party has en-
couraged labor everywhere in the
British Isles to make more serious
efforts to achieve ultimate emancipa-
ton. The DOGGY of 'Home Rule"
can no longer work in Belfast, and
now that the Orangemen are polite
ally separated from the Catholics of
the South, some other red herring
must be discovered to lead the work.
ers off on a wrong track. The WORK
ers in the south of Ireland are also
learning that the so-called Free State
did not bring them freedom. They
are now more prosecuted than ever,
the Irish army being used to break
strikes, something that was never

Ireland is learning from a dearly
bought experience, and the day is APP
preaching when labor on both banks
of the Boyne,-long the Mason and
Dixie line of Ireland-will join hands,
bury their religious differences and
establish United Workers Republic
on the ruins of capitalism.
