Political BedfelLowS Fight

All is not peace and harmony within the broad
political bed of Robert Marion Many and various
are the squabbles, the hairpullings, the rough
maulings administered by one or another group
to allies who have joined the great cruasde' but
don't agree how the march into the void is to be
conducted Particularly interesting is the denunci-
alton of the socialists by Matthew VOL for the
American Federation of Labor Executive Council.
'The socialist philosophy will never become the
intellectual political guide of American labor"
said Mr.. Vol, and characterized the S. P as
"a continuously diminishing and completely dis
credited" organization.
Of course this point of view expressed by Mr..
to even the suggestion that labor shall some day
rule society, is nothing new is it surprising
1t is the ruling attitude in the LaFollette move
ment, which stands four-square for the capitalist
system in all its essentials 1t is much closer to the
view of LaFOllette himself than the position of
those, like Debs who piously hope for the future
formation of a Labor party and justify their sur
render to LaFOllette by their own mpotent desires
Such little scraps, resulting in black eyes and
injured political feelings will continue to occur
under the political blanket of LaFollette. But we

Terror in Finland

In recent issue we published an appeal from
the workers incarcerated in Finland in the Tam
misaari prison. It reveals the continuation unto
the present day of the horrible persecution begun
in 1918 by the German butcher, General Manner
helm, and continued later under the protection of
Entente Imperialism. Thousands of the best pro-
letarian elements are being slowly murdered by
the vicious white-guard dictatorship that stands
in the best of good graces of the imperialists of
Washington and London.
Appeals to the humanity of the capitalistic gov
ernments OF the world are as useless appeal
to the Finnish white-guard government itself
would be. But even while the labor movement of
western Europe and America is as helpless as it
is today in the grip of agents of capitalism it is
possible to bring pressure to bear upon the authors
of this disgraceful torture of workers in Finnish
prisons. If the rank and file of the labor move
ment can be reused to understand what is going
and to protest against it, the first step toward
effective action to put an end to it will have been
taken.
Boycott of white-guard Finland by the workers
of the world" is the slogan sent out by the prison
ers in Finland That is the first effective step to-
ward removing this disgrace. When the work
ers become fully advised of the horrible tortures
inflicted upon Finnish workers for daring to or
ganize, such a boycott can be made Immediately
effective. Finland depends, in it's economic life
upon the services of workers from many lands
especially the seamen and transportation workers
A workers blockade" of the terrorist government
of reactonary Fascist is called for by the suffering
of the Finnish working class

The Press Picnic

Sunday one of the most important Workers
Party affairs of the season will be held in River
view Park 1t is the Press Picnic If we only had
to consider the amusement which one always finds
at our picnics perhaps might not dignity the
occasion with an editorial But there is something
more important.
The press is the most powerful weapon in the
hands of the revolutionary movement Without it
we could not reach the masses with the message of
Communism We would not be in a position to
expose the capitalist system, for what it is, sys-
tenn of robbery, murder and corruption. We would
not be in position to show up the plots of the
capitalists their plans that lead to wars and other
tragedies. We would not be able to organize the
most class conscious workers into a revolutionary
party that will lead the workers in their fight 10
overthrow capitalism and establish the Workers
and Farmers Government
Therefore picnics and such affairs are of great
Importance to the revolutionary movement because
the proceeds provide us with the sinews of war to
keep our papers going. With the DAILY
WORKER in the field next Sundays affair will
have added interest for the members of our party
and those friends who, tho not members of the
party, are yet willing to help the DAILY
WORKER in every possible way. Every member
of the party should assist in making the Press
Picnic a success. Be on the job next Sunday and
between now and next Sunday sell as many tickets
rs possible and induce your acquaintance to help
swell the crowd at Riverview Park. The money
realized from the picnic will go to the DAILY
WORKER, and our other papers.

AMSTERDAM
LINED UP FOR
DAWES plan
Communists Offering
All the Opposition

Especial to The DAILY WoRKER)
LONDON, Aug. S.-News that the
International Federation of Trade I'm
ions, with headquarters at Amster-
dam, has received the endorsement Of
the Dawes plan with great satisfac-
ton establishes the fact that the Com
munist International is the only pow
erful movement which is line up in
opposition to the policies Of the inter-
national bankers.
The Amsterdam officials gloss with
mild criticism), over the part the
bankers are playing and make much
of the supposition that the Ruhr will
be evacuated. They hail the Ruhr
promises as indicative of waning Of
the militaristic spirit but fail to point
out that the mortgaging of the Ger
man industries to foreign capital is
leading to another capitalist war.
German representatives are expect
ed to reach London late today to ap-
pear before the inter-allied conference
tomorrow morning. The understand
ing is that they will be consulted re-
garding the administration of railway
and Reichbank affairs in which they
will have a ifty-ffty directors con-
troll.
Reports from Berlin are worrying
the allied delegates9 Communist agi-
tation is gaining strength daily. With
the German Nationalist Party assum-
trality, in place Of its firmer action
opposition to the Dawes plan, the
Communists have the field to them
selves in attacking the program.
Bankers and British and French
representatives believe that the diff
cult labor problems that will face the
explciters of Germany can only be
handled, if at all, thru the medium
of the German bourgeoisie themselves.

protectors of MacDonald's Labor government are
of vital significance to our own working class and
poor farmers.
1t is clearly evident that the strong assurances
of support rendered the British imperialists by
Hughes, Mellon, Logan, Lamont, Morgan and the
other unofficial observers have played their part
in making the English capitalists more bold, more
aggressive. Very likely the raid was also staged
in order to discover evidence" afording an excuse
for the expected breaking up of the conference with
the Soviet Russian representatives. Then again,
the British working men had organized numerous
gigantic demonstrations expressing sympathy with
the demands of the Soviet delegates Therefore the
Communists must be exposed and the militant
workers must be terrorized. While the working
masses swing to the Left, Macdonald must he
swung and swing to the Right.
The despair of the British imperialists and their
Labor lackeys is evident. The raid can only help
the Communists. More and more Macdonald is
dropping his mask.

Macdonald Raids the Communists

The British Black Hundreds are still completely
in the hands Of the employing class, and are still

tagged servant of the exploiters.
Herein lies the fundamental and decisive reason
for the raid that the notorious international strike
breaking agency the British official Scotland Yards,
has just made the Office of the Communist Party
of Great Britain The labor party may nominally
have one of its members Prime Minister; but the
capitalists are as secure as ever in their tyranny
and exploitation, with the MacDonalds and the
Snowdens at the official helm.
But beneath the disgraceful incident culminat-
ing in the arrest Of of the best fighters of the
English working class, John Ross Campbell, the
Communist editor are to be found several other

NEGROES EAGER
FOR WORKERS
PARTY MESSAGE
Comrade Suggests Red
Army of Newsies

To the DAILY WORKER:-In to-
days issue Of the DAILY WORKER
you carried the open letter Of the
Workers Party to the convention Of
the Universal Negro Improvement
Association.
: While / was riding in the street
car reading this article, a Negro
woman looked over my shoulder and
asked if she could buy copy of the
paper. l gave her mine. She looked
over the story and said to me: Can
you get any more of these papers?"
told her that could. She then gave
me the address of place where a
Negro organization was meeting and
told me to bring a bundle of the
DAILY WORKER and some subscrip-
ton blanks to the meeting. ANY Ne
gro worker would buy this paper"
she told me.
This brought one thing to my mind.
1t showed why the DAILY WORKER
is such a strong factor in the class
struggle. The DAILY WORKER took
up the struggle of the Negro and con-
nected it with the general class strug-
gle. 1t made the workers think. 1t
showed that the problem of the Ne
gro worker is the problem of the
working class.
notice that since its existence the
DAILY WORKER has done this with
every problem. Therein lies the secret
of it's future success. More power to
you. You deserve the untiring sup
port of all workers of all races.
One who reads and works for the
success Of the DAILY WORKER.
p. S.-Don't you think that it would
be a good idea to form a Red Army
of Newsboys to go into the Negro Sec
ton of the city and sell this issue of
the DAILY WORKER to the Negroes?
This could be made a permanent army
which could go anywhere 10 sell the
paper whenever a story, which in
terests particular group os workers,
is published.
