Mr.. Marsh / experienced one of the
most unusual events of my life. j
spent a whole week at the famous
Warwick castle as his guest. Dur
ing that time he was active in plan
ming to counterfeit the movements
of the Communists.
Toward the end of my various ocean
trips trouble had come up between
Martens in New York and the party
leaders in the United States. Mar
tens took the position that since be
was the direct representative of Mos
cow he should be supreme. but the
party directors in America insisted
they had the right to supervise his
activities.
/ was then a member of the Com.
munist party and as such was in duty
bound to take orders from the execu-
tive committee. The fight between
Martens and the other leaders be.
| came quite acute.
MARTENS LETS SPY OUT.
From the American executive com.
mittee l got orders that in the fu-
ture all communications from Europe
directed personally to Martens l
should deliver to him, but that all
papers dealing with the revolutionary
movement in general. / was to deliver
to the executive committee.
When Martens heard of this he
was furious. The friction became
greater every day. ] was puzzled.
l figured that if the American lead
ers won out and Martens were or
dered back to Moscow and L was
allied too closely with Martens
would be out of luck.
l saw Martens and told him that
l was willing to stay as his courier
but that would also have to obey
the executive committee. He stormed
| and argued. In the end he told me
was no longer TO be his courier.
| The quarrel became so intense that
the executive committee finally decid-
ed that it would demand of Moscow
the recall of Martens. He was in
formed that a special messenger would
be sent to Moscow with the demands
of the executive committee along with
assertions that he did not come with
in the standards of true Communism.
At this time ] got orders from the
executive committee to arrange for
Louis Fraina could go to Europe for
the third internationale to be held in
Amsterdam, Holland, and also go to
Moscow, presumably carrying the
charges against Martens.
GETS DELICATE TASK.
My job was to see that Fraina was
landed safely in England. This was
big task, because Fraina already
was under indictment in the United
States for nothing less than criminal
anarchy. was also given credentials
to act in Fraina's place so that if
Fraina failed to get through l could.
OF course, the Communists expect
ed me to sneak Fraina out Of the

fact was that l dropped down TO

of Justice and Scotland Yard were
anxious to have me attend the third

getting for Fraina a passport from

Ralph Snyder. Two days before We

on the executive committee that IL

he had cabled instructions to Mos

To the ProletarIans Of All countrIesI
The Polish bourgeoisie, in alliance
| with the Polish socialist party,
has introduced an era Of most brutal
repression against the Communist
Party of Poland, which is heroically
fighting for the emancipation Of the
working class, the working peasantry
and the suppressed peoples of Poland.
The Communist member of parlia-
ment, Comrade Lapzuski, and the
Ukrainian members Of parliament are
the first victims Of this campaign.
Hunger, misery and the most brutal
exploitation is driving the Polish pro-
letariat and the propertyless peasan-
try into the fight against the ruling
classes. In the border states, in spite
Of the military dictatorship and of the
death sentences, the flames Of revolt
are again arising among the doubly
exploited masses Of White Russian
and Ukrainian peasantry. The White
Russian and Ukranian peasant is fight
ing, weapon in hand. against the Po-
lish landowner for national emancipa-
ton and the right to self-determina-
ton. An, economic and financial crisis
of enormous extent. as well as I'M
employment and impoverishment of
the masses, is undermining the found
ations Of the bourgeois feudal Polish
republic. The ruling classes Of Po-
land are attempting to master the
difficulties of the situation with the
aid Of terror and streams Of blood.
The Communist Party Of Poland,
which Is suppressed and exposed to
the blows of an unheard-of perseeu-
ton, Is organizing and conducting the
struggle Of the masses who are more
and more threatening the rule Of the
bourgeoisie. It's influence is growing

that grew fat at the cost of the Jewish
workers. One bankrupt helps the
other. But will 1t help any? Even
the backward American workers are
beginning to turn away from these
brazen traitors. The class struggle is
growing sharper on the one hand
thanks to the steady capitalist oppres-

steady work of the Communists.
But still we may say a few words
about the enemy that has just arrived.
Abramovich is one of the most
poisonous informers against the I'm
ion of Soviet Socialist Republics; one
of the maddest enemies of Commun-
ism. When he talks about the revolu
ton and the revolutionary proletariat
he chokes with madness. When he
mentions the victorious Russian Com
munist Party, his face turns into the
grimace Of the insane. One can feel
that it is a personal madness; a per-
sonal account.
What is the matter?
Abramovich cannot forgive himself
because he missed revolutionary
holiday. The poor menshevik figured
wrong. When the great masses

flag of Communism the entire flower
Of the working class who have been

raised flaming protests against the

winning for the Communist Party the
confidence of ever wider masses of
the working people.

up the fight for the emancipation of

(From the Novy Mir. Russian
Communist palIy.)


THERE recently arrived in the
Il United States one Of the famous
gang Of the menshevik leaders. He
came here to agitate among the Amer
lean workers against Soviet Russia
and for the International of Scheide-
mann. He came here for the same
reason as those bankrupt aristocrats
who are coming here to revive their
business. In their homeland these
Abramoviches are bankrupt. The
working masses have turned away
from them. The great Russian revolu-
ton branded them with scorn. The
future holds nothing for them in the
Union Of Soviet Socialist Republics.
America is big and plentiful, and here
there are uncountable fools. That is
why the Abramoviches are coming
here hoping to strengthen their failing
political credit.
But It isn't only Abramovich as
such. 1t is the American menshevism
and the American social-patriotism
that are involved. Abramovich came
at the invitation Of the yellow Jewish
newspaper Forward. He came to aid
the reputation Of this organ-parasite
