LnUincibLe Soviet Russia

Inc last Morgan mortgage on France and
the delayed de Jure recognition of Soviet Rus
STA by China are not without connection.
Morgan has secured lien on the policies of
the French government on the continent, in
the Near East and the Far East It is the
Morgan pressure that is responsible for French
interference with the resumption of COM
plete friendly relations between China and the
Soviet Republic.
The failure of the Chinese government to
ratify the agreement drawn up by its represen-
tative, Mr.. c. I. Wang, with the Soviet spokes-
man, Karakhan, is caused by the opposition of
the French imperialist agents in Picking who
fear that the Sino-Russian agreement is a
menace to their investments and spheres of in
huence, particularly to the French stockholders
in the Russo-Asiatic Bank seeking to dominate
the Chinese Eastern Railroad
Soviet Russia on the other hand holds that
the status of this railroad is subject for nego-
tiation solely between itself and China The
Soviet Republic will see to it that the French
government keeps its hands off this railway.
1t is evident that Mr.. Morgan is now vitality
concerned with the balance sheet of French
imperialism. He is the moving hand in the
pressure brought by the French government on
China.
At best Morgan and Poincare can only deav
the re-establishment of friendly relations be-
tween China and Soviet Russia The Chinese
people have been smarting under the lash of
their foreign imperialist oppressors The
masses OF China are more and more seeing in
Soviet Russia their only friend and are putting
ever more faith in the Russian workers and
farmers. Soviet Russia is looked upon by the
chinese and by all other oppressed national
tues as the one uncomfortable, steadfast cham
pion OF their freedom from capitalist domino
ton.
There is tremendous demand in China for
close cooperation and friendship with the
Soviet government. It will not be long before
this great demand will wipe away all the
lackeys of the Morgan-mortgaged French and
other imperialist plunderers of China's huge
natural resources.
Before the invincible Communist republic
the heavy hand of the Gar Of international
capitalist finance, J. p. Morgan will meet the
same fate that befell the whole dynasty of
Cars.

A Joke On You

Mayor William E. Dever, last Saturday, Off
cially launched Chicago's fourth annual own
your own home week." given at the Coliseum
under the auspices of the Chicago Real Estate
Board. Greetings were read from President
Coolidge, Secretary Hoover, the governors OF
many states, and many well known national
figures.
When asked what it was all about, Mr..
Jones, an executive of the Chicago real estate
board, told the DAILY WORKER, eve must
carry on an extensive campaign all over the
country Not only will an increase of home
owners solve the housing shortage, but it will
help greatly to Americanize and stabilize the
American people,"
But Mr.. Jones forgot to add the interesting
figures that over so per cent of the people in
Chicago are living in apartments, flats and
over stores, and that of the homes which are
occupied 70 per cent of them are rented from
real estate companies, another 17.2 per cent
being mortgaged to the bonding and real
estate companies at high interest
We do not charge all the worthy gentlemen
supporting the "Own Your Home drive with
trying to assist the Chicago Real Estate Board
members in increasing their business. But it
is fact that large employers would rather hire
married workers than single men. The mar
ried man, having more responsibility, is more
closely tied to his Job. He is less independent
and necessarily shows more loyalty to his boss,
in order to be able to keep his family with
security. For similar reason, the large en-
ployers like to have their men live in their own
home-preferably one they are paying for on
nstallments. 1t makes the workers better
Americans-that is they are better slaves, be-
cause they cannot run the risk of losing their
jobs which would also mean the loss of their
homes. The hundred Illinois mayors who as
Iisted His Honor, Mayor Dever, in the opening
ceremonies, no doubt had some such idea in
mind. If more citizens own their own (mort-
gaged) homes, there is less danger of radical
Ism" in their communities. mortgaged
home not only keeps the employees faithful,
and their wages down, but it enables the en-
ployers to get back large slice of these
wages in the installment payments on these
homes, and in the large interests Melted from
The mortgages.

military character, and that the
Party discipline had been transform
ed into a military discipline, the op-
position demanded that the entire
staff of the administrative apparatus
be overhauled from top to bottom
and that the most important func-
tionaries be recalled, etc. The cam
paign Of the opposition included the
most violent attacks and reproaches
directed against the Communist Gel
trail.
The Communist Central, as such,
did not during this period, partici-
pate in the discussion carried on in
the columns of the Pravda, as it
wished to allow full liberty Of criti-
icsm to all Party members. 1t did
not even deem it necessary to refute
the absurd ccusati O MS levelled
against it, as it considered that the
Party members possessed enough in
dependent judgment to be able to
decide the questions at issue for
themselves
Tired of Accusations.
This was, so to speak. the first
period of the discussion. The second
began when the Party members
grew tired of this campaign of ac-
cusations and demanded the objec-
tive discussion of the questions at
issue. This period was opened by
the publication of the resolution Of
the Communist Central on the Party
structure From this moment it
was no longer possible to confne
the criticism to mere generalization
The concrete scheme presented by
the C. G. and the c. c. C. faced the
opposition with the alternative,
either to assent to this scheme, or
to come forward with another
scheme of concrete character re-
garding the realization of democracy
within the Party. From this point
it became clear that the opposition
was incapable Of opposing to the
Communist Central scheme its own
concrete one which would have cor
responded to the requirement of the
Party organizations. Thereupon the
opposition began to beat retreat.
It no longer insisted upon its de-
mands for the modification Of the
principles Of Party structure follow
ed during the last two years. The
demand of the opposition regarding
the abolition Of the restrictions upon
democracy, which were imposed by
the decisions of the Tenth, Eleventh
and Twelfth Congresses was like
wise promulgated with less vigor.
The demand for the overhauling OF

the apparatus from top to bottom
took on a more feeble note and was
relegated to the background. The
opposition considered it expedient to
substitute all their demands by pro-
posals calling attention to the neces-
sity Of "a precise formulation of the
question of fractionism, proceeding
to the reelection of all the organs
of the Party" and abolition of the
system of nomination from above
1t is characteristic that even these
proposals of the opposition which
had taken on a very feeble note,
have been rejected by the workers
organizations Of Krasnaya, Pres
maya and of Zamoskvaryetchye dds
tricts of the town of Moscow, both
of which have, by an overwhelming
majority, adopted the resolution Of
the Communist Central.
Third Party of Discussion.
This was, so to speak, the second
period of the discussion.
At present, the third period has
commenced, Characteristic for this
period is the further retreat, I ven
ture to say, the wild fight of the
opposition. This time, in the reso-
luton of the opposition, there are
not even the greatly toned down
demands. The last resolution Of
Comrade Proebrazensky (Which for
the moment is the third one to be
enumerated) which has been pre-
scented to The meeting Of the respon-
sible comrades of the Moscow or
ganization attended by more than a
thousand comrades, runs as follows:
ut is solely by the rapid, general
and sincere carrying out of the reso-
buttons of the Political Bureau, in
particular by the renewal Of the
Party apparatus by means Of re-
elections, that our Party will be able
to enter the new period of its de-
velopment without interior strug-
giles, which would distort its struc-
ture; it is only by this, that the CO.
hesion and the unity of the Party
can be confirmed in the true sense
of the word"
It is certainly not a mere chance
that the meeting has rejected even
this absolutely harmless proposal. It
is equally no mere chance that it
has, by an overwhelming majority,
adopted the resolution on the zap
proval Of The political and organi-
zatory policy of the Communist
Central"

STATEMENT FROM THE
PARTY PROGRAM ON
THE NEGRO QUESTION
THE NEGRO WORKER.

The Negro workers of this coun-
try are exploited and oppressed
more ruthlessly than any other
group. The history of the Southern
Negro is the history Of brutal ter
rorism, of persecution and murder.
During the war tens of thousands
of Southern Negroes were brought
to the industrial centers of the
North to supply the needs of the
employers for cheap labor. In the
Northern industrial cities the Me-
gro has found the same bitter dis
elimination az in the South. The
attack upon the Negroes of East St.
Louis, Illinois, the riot in Chicago
are examples of the additional
burden of oppression which IL the
lot Of the Negro workers.
Altho the influx of Negro work
ers in the Northern industrial CEN
tiers has laid the foundation for a
mass movement of Negroes who are
industrial workers, because of
neglect of this problem by orr
ganized labor little progress has
been made in organization of these
industrial workers. The Negro has
despsired of aid from organized
labor, and he has been driven either
into the camp of the enemies Of
labor, or has been compelled to de-
velop purely racial organizations
which seek purely racial aims.
The Workers Party will support
the Negroes in their struggle for
liberation and will help them in
their fight for economic political
and educational equality. Il will
seek to end the policy of diserimins-
ton followed by some labor unions
and all other Discriminate
against the Negro. II will endea-
vor to destroy altogether the bar
rier Of race prejudice that has been
used to keep apart the black and
white workers and to weld them
into solid union for the struggle
against the capitalists who exploit
and Cypress them.

Special Sale By ESTHER LOWELL

Dresses and frocks"-a special sale:
You who buy never see how pale
Are the faces that bend over weary thin hands,
That cut and haste and guide thru machines
So that others may press and finish the bands.
You don't know when the workers strike,
For little time to do as they like,
For chance to be rested and free to unite
With others to bargain for life
From mem who hire vile brutes for their fight.
You don't walk in the picket lines
To see how act evil designs:
How girls may be beaten for nothing more
Than for strolling the street to warn the unwise
That they injure themselves if they enter the door,
Dresses and frocks'--a special sale:
You will not guess the amount of bail
It took to make the dress you buy
You won't know until red day
Whom. to make you see, many may die.

XITARREN GAMALIEL HARDING

Calvin Coolidge, his Puritan moralist
running mate, were the puppets OF

as have ever appeared on the pages
of American history.

to protecting booksellers plying
their trade on Indian reservations,
chose Harding and Coolidge for the
American people in 1920 in behalf of
themselves and the oil interests.
Harding-the front porch cam

and gray-haired respectable; Cool

mildest form of liberalism, the froz-
en-faced apostle of Back Bay Brah-

vice-president by the Daugherty-
Hamon-Smith trio whose political
strength came from their successful
manipulation Of votes of the under

states.
The price of the presidency was

Fall to cabinet positions where they
could loot the oil resources of the
nation.
Jake lannon's paramour, Clara
Smith, stood in the way and when
he conveyed, none too gently, the
news that she could not go to Wash

was acquitted by a jury picked for
the purpose after she had made
threats to tell the whole sordid story.

HE discussion which has been
proceeding for several weeks on

IDENTIFY drawing to a close. At least
this is the case with Leningrad and
Moscow. AS is known, Leningrad
declared in favor of the line of the
Communist Central. The principal
districts of the town of Moscow
have likewise adopted the platform
of the Communist Central. The
conference Of the Moscow Party
functionaries, which was held on
December 18th. has fully approved
of the organizatory and politi-
cal line of the Communist Central.
Without doubt the forthcoming gem
eral Party conference of the Moscow
organizations will follow the ex-
ample Of the districts. The opposi-
ton, composed of the bloc between
part of the left Communists
(Proebrazensky, Stookov, Pyatakov
and others) and the so-called demo-
cratic centralists (Rafael, Sapronov
and others), has been annihilated.
The phases of the discussion, and
the transformations which the
theses of the opposition have under

highest degree Of interest.

handing nothing less than the revi-

policy which had been laid down two
years ago and had been followed
during the whole period of the New
Economic Policy. The opposition de-
manded the entire carrying out of

insisted upon the abolition of the

The council was confronted by the fact that the Versailles treaty, though authorizing investigations, is si- lent regarding resultant steps.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The third shipment of gold by J. P. Morgan and company to the German reichsbank amounting to $3,000,000 today, brought the total withdrawals of proceeds from the sale of the German loan up to $l0,' 100000.
 Considerable mystery surrounded the export of several smaller amounts, to- talling about $1,000,O00, which were said to be consigned to Sweden. It was reported in Wall street that Russia was the ultimate destination of these ship ments, which were believed to have been made in connection with credits estab. lished here for payment for cotton and other commodities.
