LOS ANGELES. Sept. .. - Red
Herring was awarded the decision in
a ten round bout at Vernon coli
scum over Charlie O'Conncl, Clev-
Gland lightweight. So few blows
were landed throughout the ten
weary rounds, that ringsidcrs ex-
pressed surprise that the referee
could make his decision. Once Re
ferec Clark threatened to throw
them out of the ring, but this did
not interrupt the waltz.
Frank Muskie dropped six
round decision to Fred Cullen, af-
ter dropping the latter in the first
round and chasing him about the
ring for the next three. Cullen fin
ished strong, however, and copped.
Joe German won all the way from
Juan Beiza, Chilean lightweight in
the six round feature preliminary.
Ernie Fliegcl won decision from
Johnny Fiskc and Pat Freeman
knocked ont Gene Porter in the
first round of the four round pre-
Inns.

tion which set up, the Soviet power.
In the years frgb 1921 onward, this
struggle had been carried into every

of Russia, Great Britain, Italy, Spain

Of the French and Georgian labor un-

ticeably turned to the left and the
revolutionary element strengthened.
No instance proves this case better
than the report of the British delega-
ton to Russia headed by Purcell as
chairman of the British Trade Union
Congress.
The great work of uniting the trade
unions of the world was thus launched
as a result of the Bolshevik revolu-
tion of 1917. And this is one of the
reasons why the name of vladimir
Lenin. the organizer and leader of the
Bolshevik revolution, has been en-
graved in the hearts of millions of
revolutionary unionists who fight UNI

Guards of Leningrad seized state

carno conference, the progress Of in
ternational trade union unity is going
on apace. Then, the Locarno "peace"
conference is actually laying the, basis
for new strife between the imperialist
national groups and letting loose new
forces of disintegration in the political
parties at home. A united" CONT
nent Of Europe promotes the antag-
onisms between American imperial
ism and among the European imper-
ialist cliques.
Scarcely had the ink dried on the
Locarno pact when the powerful Ger
man nationalist party enters upon a
new crisis, the Luther cabinet is en-
dangered, the Communists make ire
mendous gains in the German cleo
tions, the Caillaux cabinet falls, the
flames Of revolt enyelop Syria, the
Greeks clash with the Bulgars and
the Balkans, the cockpit of Europe,
are again seething.
Role Of American Imperialism.
TN this international drama Ameri-
1 can Imperialism plays a major role
as the leading banker and manufac-
turing nation of the world. It is true,
there was no American observer at
Locarno playing the role that Colonel
Logan played at the London confer
ence of July, 1924. But it was only
the heavy financing of the European
governments by Wall Street that
made possible this effort to unity the
capitalist governments of Europe
against the working class government
of the Soviet Republics.
America is, today the buttress of
capitalist reaction. American capital
ism is the handspring Of opposition
to the Soviet Union everywhere. This
is as true in the Far East as in Eu-
rope. In the Ear East American i'm
perialism is particularly. irritated over
the singing defeat administered Wall
Street hypocrisy and Washington
''humanitarianism" by the Soviet I'm
ion. The latter fact accounts in
large measure for the apparent sharp
ening of the American anti.Soviet pol
icy at time when many superficial
observers believed that the United
States was already on the verge of So
Wet recognition. .s.5
What the Takers Are Up To.
WITH this as a background, it is not
w difficult to understand the why
and the wherefore of the hostility of
the American labor bureaucracy to
Soviet recognition. The trade union
bureaucracy is an integral part of
the imperialist machinery of oppres-
sion. The American trade union bu-
teaucracy being part of the most inn
perialist coterie, being a section of
the capitalist group most bitterly OPP
posed to Soviet Russia. is naturally
and logically the most reactionary
trade union bureaucracy in the world
the most bigoted enemy of the work
ing masses of the Soviet Union.
No doubt the opposition of the
American Federation of Labor leader
ship to Soviet Russia is an important
factor in the determination of Ameri-
can capitalist policy towards the So

TWO hostile armies are massing
4 against each other on the interna-
tional political front.
On the one side we have the gath
ering hosts of imperialist reaction, the
black united front. On the other side
we have the growing armies of the
proletariat led into struggle against
capitalism by the revolutionary party
of the worlds working class-the
Communist international.
There may be peace in the news
papers of the bourgeoisie. But every
"peace" move of the imperialist pow
ers only cloaks war maneuver. To
day, these peace" moves are mainly
war maneuvers against the rising
prowess of the Soviet Union. The Sc
curity pact, the Locarno conference
and the other much-heralded ''pacify-
ing" agreements and conferences are,
to a large extent, treaties and agree
ments entered into by the world CAPT
talists to mobilize all Of their re-
sources for a war against the Soviet
Union.
What is behind these feverish war
preparations of the black union against
the red union? What forces consti-
cute the black united front? Who is
70 be found in the ranks of the red
united front? What is the role OF
che American capitalists in this attack
being planned by the forces of CAPT
talist reaction against the forces Of
proletarian progress?
The Phantom Sterilization.
THE bourgeoisie may have succeed
4 ed in temporarily stabilizing to
some extent their economic order thru
The Dawes plan. thru the partial resto-
ration of the system Of international
exchange, and thru a temporary i'm
provement in the world agricultural
conditions. But no one knows better
than the imperialist junta itself the
shaky foundation on which even this
very limited improvement rests. The
bourgeoisie realize full we'll that these
over-advertised Reconstruction" ef
forts have not succeeded in removing
any of the inherent contradictions OF
capitalism which we're intensified by
the world war and its aftermath.
But the international imperialist
clique realizes even more the fact that
their most dangerous foe is the Soviet
Union.
The Soviet Union has been making
tremendous progress in economic re-
construction despite the financial
blockade still maintained against the
workers and farmers republic by the
international money lords. The So
Wet Union is winning the confidence
Of the many millions of oppressed
colonial masses thru its unfinching
fight against the imperialist mAneuv-
ers of the capitalist powers in the
Far and Near East. Africa, the Dark
Continent" is also beginning to see
the light. Then, the Soviet Union is
winning an ever-increasing hold on
the minds and hearts of the proletar-
ian masses of the countries today
dominated by the capitalist class.

Wet Union. The hatred of the So
Wet Union by the labor bureaucrats
is without doubt due to the fear on
the part of these labor misleaders Of
the fundamentally changed attitude
that the American workers would as
sumo towards the Soviet Union and
many other problems in the event OF
American recognition Of the Soviet
republics.
A Dangerous Situation.
TT is obvious to every worker In
1 America that the United States, re-
CARELESS Of the increasing conflict of
its interests with the interests Of the
imperialist powers OF Europe and
Asia, is the backbone of the black
united front now being organized
against the Soviet Union. This reac-
tionary union is not merely an I'M
holy alliance against the Soviet Re
publics. The black united front, at
the head of which stands the Wash
ington government Of Wall Street, is
an imperialist band of sworn foes
against the labor movement the world
over, against every organization of the
working class. Who can question the
fact that if 1t should ever come about
that the international clique Of imper-
ialists should succeed to weaken, or
undermine the Soviet Union, that such
an event would not be an occasion for
the letting loose Of all the blacklist
forces of reaction, Of capitalist hool-
iganism, of murderous fascism against
every organization of the workers
turnout the world?
American Workers Must Act.
THE campaign for the defense Of
4 the Soviet Union is concreteIy the
most urgent task before the Ameri-
can workers. Every worker who has
the slightest bit of consciousness of
his class interests, every worker who
has the slightest bit Of use for his
union or other labor organization,
every poor farmer who wants to get
rid Of his nemesis. the monopolist
capitalist, must get into the campaign
to defend the Soviet Union against the
nefarious Vaccinations and plots OF
the American and the other capital
lists.
The American exploiter is in the
front ranks of the armies Of the black
united front. The American worker
must do his bit to save the world from
imperialist tyranny and plumber by
fighting energetically for the defense
and strengthening of his own labor
organization and by uniting with the
workers of all other countries for the
defense Of the interests of the worlds
working class
1t is up to the American workers
to strive to become in the red union
of proletarian progress what the Wall
Street financial and Industrial barons
have already become in the black un.
ion of capitalist reaction. The eighth
anniversary Of the victorious probe
tartan revolution in Russia is certain
ly a fitting occasion for the American
working class working forward to
this goal

Soviet STERILIZATION Real.

THESE assets Of the Soviet Union
l. overwhelm the small sterilization
gains made by the international bour-
geoisie.
Each progressive step of the Soviet
Union is substantial and paves the
way for more and greater far-reaching
permanent steps of building the work
ers' and farmers Soviet republic on
a sound, on an impregnable basis.
Each instance of friendship be-
tween the Soviet Union and colonial
country or an oppressed nation serves
only to cement the relations between
the Soviet Republics and the suffer
ing national groups and only adds to
the prestige Of the Soviet Union
amongst all colonial peoples.
Every occasion that the proletariat
Of other countries has to see the So

Republics which is the cause of the

Capitalist Reconstruction"
NOV let us look at the asset side
~ of the bourgeois ledger. What
do we find?
Take the Dawes plan. 1t has been
called the panacea of capitalist pana-
ceas. But the bacillus of the transfer
problem is rapidly eating the heart
out of this life-saver of the bourgeois
order. Secret negotiations are already
reported to be under way to revise
fundamentally this MADE in America"
enslavement plan Of Germany. Be-
sides, the Dawes plan whose aim
was to bring peace to Europe and the
world is only sharpening the antagon-
isms between the United Statess and
Great Britain over the question of who
shall exercise financial hegemony
over Germany and hence on the con-
tinent outside of Soviet Russia closed
to the rapacious capitalist exploiters.
Let us glance at the vexing question
Of international debts. The failure of
the Franco-American debt negotia-
tions is of paramount significance. OF
course, the French bourgeoisie will
make another desperate effort at fund
ing their deft to Wall Street But
there is an unbridgeable gap in these
negotiations. France cannot fund its
American debt and at the same time
wage its wars against the Moroccan
and Syrian peoples. A debt agree
ment may be patched up but the fun
damental economic contradictions Of
Imperialism cannot be overcome.
Germany may be restored" econom-
ically. But the restoration" of Ger
many brings in its wake the forces
making for an intensifcation of in.
ternational trade rivalries. Germany's
capacity to pay is almost synonymous
with Germany's unwillingness to pay.

standing economic reconstruction
steps so loudly commended by the

AT the very moment that the bour-

buy off sections of the working class
itself against the other workers Of
the Soviet Union, the proletariat of
an increasing number Of countries is

~ to fool the colonial peoples with

with failure. The wave of Chinese
nationalism is fitting answer to the
manipulations Of the imperialist con-

than a mere tariff conference. 1t is
the beginning Of a new wave Of disil-
