Colossal Tower of Babel, Says Soviet
 War Chief

MOSCOW, May 6-After an ab sence of nearly six months from all participation in Soviet affairs, Leon Trotzky the Soviet war minister, is now preparing to take an active part in the Communist party congress to be held this month, and the conven- tion of the Third Internationale in the middle of June.
 In the course of a long speech at Tiflis, M. Trotzky referred to the fact that the United States and France have not yet recognized Russia.
 "The United States has become a colossal tower of Babel and is trying to digest in it's stomach all the huge gains it realized from the war. It is now keeping aloof from European af- fairs but at the same time it is care fully preparing for future wars. It is placing aviation and asphyXiating gas foremost in its equipment; it is developing these destructive agents not only for struggle agalnst en- feebled Japan, but also against Eur ope.
 Work on Criminals
 we all know the use to which the dentist puts asphyxiating gas" he continued, "but when we see the U. s. Preparing to use gas to extract a revolutionary tooth from Europe we must be OF the alert. In the mean time Americans are trying these new gasses upon their criminals discard ing the use of electricity as a means of killing wrongdoers.
 Picture yourself, rich and satls- fled America, sending to famine stricken revolutionary Europe whole squadrons of airplanes which threaten to rain these noxious gases upon us. This is fantastic romance"

reason for this subscription
campaign is to prove that there
is sufficient demand for the
DAILY WORKER in New York
to justify placing it upon the

Every reader of the DAILY

what a convenience it would be
to the workers of New York to
find the workers daily on the
news stands every day, and how
this would benefit the DAILY
WORKER in increased circula-
ton. Every reader, regardless
Of party utilization, is invited to
help achieve this end by hustling
a sub or two of the necessary
five hundred.
Much in Earnest.
The Party organization is very
much in earnest about this. A con-
test has been launched among the
Party branches, and the Branch that
makes the best record viii receive a

bers of the winning branch, together
with the members that make the best
individual records in other branches,
will have seats of honor at the Foster
meeting.
Particulars are mailed to the
branches, and will be sent to any one
on request by the New York Agency
of the DAILY WORKER, 2OS East
18th Street. But no one need wait
to start. The essential point is to get
subscribers, at once, early and often,
until the required number is reached.
Then the DAILY WORKER will in

WALKER USES
MUCH INK But
LITTLE
FlOwery Rhetoric 7 axes
Place of Real Program
BY KARL REEVE
(Staff Writer, Daily Worker)

PEORIA, ILL.,, Sept. 10-The re-
port presented by John Walker,
president, to the And conven-
ton of the Illinois Federation of
Labor here reveals in its first
three pages the hopeIessness,
impotence and confusion which
will result in leaving the affairs
of organized labor in Illinois
longer in the hands of this man.
Walkers report is distin-
guished for it's remarkable
fecundity of false economics.
Altho almost every line is crammed
with fiowery rhetoric and misunder-
standing of the plight of the Illinois
workers, not one constructive meas
ure is put forward as remedy for
existing suffering.
Talks on Depression.
Industrial depression has affected
many of our members very injurious
ly," says Walker. Hundreds of thou
sands of men," he has the astounding
effrontery to admit, "among them
great many trade unionists, are walk
ing the streets of Illinois and have
been for the past year or more, seek
ing employment unavailingly. They
and their wives and little children
have suffered incalculable harm from
the vicious so-called deflation drive"
Our membership knows that a
stronger and better equipped organic
alton aud better informed member
ship would have made impossible the
bringing about Of this imitation at
ALL" says John Walker brazenly.
But Walker tells the DAILY WORK.
Err that he does not propose to sug-
gest any action on the part of the
convention regarding the unempIoy-
ment crisis.
He Can Be Optimistic.
Honest John, with his 100000
yearly salary and his $2,211.05 ex-
penses received last year, is remark
ably optimistic. And Walker, to min
ers who have been out of work for
seven months, keeps straight face
long enough to get off some of his
mealy-mouthed and meaningless OPP
timism.
1t will all come out right in the end,
says Walker, if only we keep paying
him his salary and be patient little
miners.
There is need for greater unity"
our oracle tells us. more COM
plete information on problems on vital
interest. a better understanding
amongst each other a feeling of
brotherhood amongst the common
people of our state" This is the only
apology for solution that could be
found after diligent search thru
Walkers incoherent document, for the
industrial depression and for unem-
ployment.
While the large employers, one hun
dred per cent organized. are in the
midst of a wage-reduction drive, the
great labor leader, shakes hands with
them in the policy of class collabora-
ton. Nero fiddles while Rome burns.
Report Full of Gush.
