Protest Against FaSciSm

Hundreds of meetings being held all over the
United States in protest against the murder of
Matteotn by the party of Mussolini in ITALY, are
giving the workers of all racial origins an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion of international
capitalism's darling. The workers in every in
stance have shown their utter abhorrance of
Fascism and all its works. More significant than
this however, has been the warmth with which
they have welcomed all mention of the Third In
ternational, the proletarian dictatorship as the
antidote for Fascism, and the workers govern
ment Of Russia as the stronghold against Fascism
that prevents it from sweeping the world.
The meeting in Carnegie Hall, New York, is an
outstanding case in point. Arranged by the Ital-
ian Chamber of Labor and allied organizations,
it was designed to be a very respectable demon
stration against "all dictatorship" and humble
call upon the president of the U. S. to send the
carrying out of the program only one loan Com
munist was allowed on the long speakers list,
Juliet Stuart Poyntz But that one was enough
for the vast crowd that filled Carnegie Hall.
The great hall rang with half-hour demonstra-
ton in response to the Communist message de-
livered by Juliet Poyntz. Cheers for Soviet
Russia, for the Communist International for the
dictatorship of the working class, emphasized the
protest against Fascism and carried it on to more
positive note, the remedy for Fascism and all the
ills of capitalism. All the judges, EDITORS liberals,
and timid ones who had been packed upon the
platform to keep the meeting within the bounds of
capitalist ''respectabiity," had no effect upon the
masses of workers gathered there. The respec-
table ones did not speak the thoughts and desires
of the masses. Only the Communist message
struck home and turned the meeting into a
flaming protest.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-07-05

1t was evident to all that when the British Labor
Party was allowed to form the Government, that
this was because the capitalists of Great Britain
had decided the time was come to recognize Russia
1t was good tactics to allow the Labor Party to
do the job, as they could be thrown out at any
time and another Liberal Conservative govern
ment put in, uncommitted to any of MacDonald's
promises. The reason for the decision to recognize
Soviet Russia was largely based in the race for
the worlds oil supply. Britain wanted to get hold
of the oil in the Caucasus Soviet Russia, without
making promises let Britain understand that
recognition was necessary before this could be
talked about.
Now comes the news of what Britain expected
to get from Russia Fortunately for the workers
and peasants of Sovietland, they have a govern
ment Of their own that promptly turned down the
British offer. MacDonald's so-called labor gov
eminent made the proposition to cancel the Czarist
debts and make a loan of some $200,000000 to
Russia in return for 81 years control of the eau
casus and Armenian ports and over the districts
around Baku and Batoum. This was to include
administration of the territory by AngloRussian
commissions including courts, police and military,
and rights of colonization for the British When
it is recalled that this is probably the richest oil
district outside Of America the enormous effront-
cry of the British 'labor' government will be
realized.
If the British capitalists, directly or thru their
labor government had been dealing with the type
of politicians typifed by Albert B. Fall, or the
rest of our Teapot Dome gang in the United States,
the chances are strong that the Russian workers
would there and then have been despoiled of their
greatest natural resource. But Russia is ruled by
the Bolsheviks, and whatever else has been said
about Russia's ruling party by the lying capital
list press, the Chicago Tribune has not claimed
that the Communist Party ever produced Fall or
a Daugherty.
