THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON
LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS

To the Editor Of the DAILY WORK.
Err: It's no more a secret that the
social democratic misleader Anthony
Nomec of Czecho-Slovakia will tour
this country the coming fall, also DR..
Edward Benes, the minister OF foreign
affairs in Czecho-Slovakia, will tour
this country. Both birds are bitter
enemies of Soviet Russia, but enthu-
siastic supporters OF Russian counter
revolution and of the Eastern Democ-
racies, or world Imperialism.
After the split in the Social Demo-
cratic party Of Czecho-Slovakia the
overwhelming majority Joined the
Communists. With the bourgeois So
cial Democracy remained small bust
ness men, lawyers, policemen, and a
handful of lackeys Of the capitalist
system. These lackeys claimed to be
the rightful owners of the Workers
Home (Lidovy Dunn and Of the lead
ing official Party Organ, Peoples
Right (Pravo Lidvu) in Prague.
The Communists tried to capture
said Home and Organ by force and
this movement led to the attempt to
establish Soviet System in Czecho-
Slovakia. OF course, the Social Demo
cratic Fascist fought desperately side
by side with the police, gendarmerie,
and troops against the Working Glass
Of Czecho-Slovakia. Anthony Nemec's
capitalism triumphed. Thousands of
Communists were prosecuted and
thrown in prison and the Social Demo
cratic bourgeois became ministers and
statesmen of capitalist Czecho-Slo-
vakia.
Trouble Breeding Alliance.
The brother of DR.. Edward Benes,
a former grammar school teacher,
Volta Benes, now General School In
spector in Czecho-Slovakia, was the
chief organizer and ruler of the Bo-
hemian National Alliance in u. S.,
which exploited the poorest Bohemian
workers without mercy, ruled them
with an iron fist. Officials of the alli-
ance drew senseless high salaries,
toured around the whole world for a
good time, aroused bitter war spirit
and national hate among Bohemian
workers to add more millions to the
war prof1teers. Because Volta Benes,
once loved, now hated in this country,
does fear to come over here, his broth
er Edward, will visit us, altho he has
done the same destructive work in
France as Volta has done over here.
During the Russian revolution the
Bohemian National Alliance has done
all possible dirty work to help to over
throw the Soviet system and to re-
establish the old tyrannical czarist
siekIy Socialist Warrior.
Josef Martinez, the editor of the
Delnicke Listy, CWorkers' News), the
Menshevik and White Guardist coun-
ter-revolutionary Cleveland weekly in
Bohemia, went several times for the
National Alliance to Russia to incite
the Bohemian Legionaires against the
Bolsheviki and to save them for coun-
ter-revolution. But the legionaires re-
volted against the Kolchak-Martinek
crew and openly joined the Russian
revolution.
The above mentioned editor was ex-
PEELED from the Socialist party for his
bloody war spirit. Today the party
membership is glad to have him in
its line.
Czech Communists Strong.
The Communist party is the strong
est party of Czecho-SIovakia, despite
Emma Goldman, grandmamma Bres-
kovskaja, Kerensky and thousands of
Russian White Guardists and counter
revolutionary Russian so-called stu
dents" who live in Prague, draw big
pensions for doing nothing else but
