~ forgive my colleagues. love them, every one
am sorry for the church that it saw fit to uphold
my conviction of heresy. 1 love Bishop Leonard
most of all. He made me bishop"
This is ex-BishOp William Montgomery Brown,
of the protestant episcopal church talking. The
above christly speech delivered in Cleveland
by the aforesaid Bishop Brown after his brothers
in christ put the EEK" before the bishop which
formerly adorned his cognomina equipment.
If that is the way Brown feels about it, we should
have no kick coming. Perhaps the old rebel feels
grateful to his foes for scraping the antedeluvan
barnacles off his exterior. He gave his brain an
enema long ago.
What was Bishop Browns crime? Were his fel
low bishops justified in giving him the gate?
Bishop Brown wrote a little book entitled
Communism and Chrstianism," which left the
church as full of holes Swiss cheese and as
smelly as Limburger. His remarks on the inn
maculate conception would make the ears of
divorce court judge Jingle. After he got thru with
Jesus, he looked like human being, in fact very
much like Eugene V. Debs, tho it is doubtful if
Jesus would stick to the socialist party after it had
fouled its nest as Debs did.
Danish the gods from the skies and capitalism
from the earth,' was the motto of Browns little
book. The book was printed by the hundreds of
thousands in several languages. 1t was a regular
godkiler What the bishop left of god intact
even selfrespecting atheist could accept without
losing his dignity.
In view of this it is not surprising that collec-
ton Of fossiized bishops should decide that Brown
did not belong with them He doesn't man with
his views should feel just about as much at home
with his formed associates in the vineyard of super.
stition, as an ear Of sweet corn in a barrel of
dung.
William Montgomery Brown has our respect,
but not our sympathy. We believe the punishment
has added to his manhood. 1t is further testimony
to his sterling character.

Communists in Parliament

Radicals who sneer at Communist parties for
taking advantage of bourgeois parliaments for the
purpose of bringing their propaganda to the
masses, should read the story published on the
first page of the Chicago Tribune Thursday. 1t
was an Associated Press dispatch with Rome
date line and was entirely composed of excerpts
from speech delivered by Communist deputy in
the italian parliament.
The speech was a violent and damning attack
on the fascist regime and plea for revolution
The Communist speaker did not confne his re.
marks to Italy, but took in the whole world. He
urged the workers of Germany to tear the Dawes
plan to pieces
The Communist deputy explained that the other
opposition groups oppose the fascist because they
are criminals, but the Communists fight against
the fascist because they are opponents of the
bourgeoisie and the Communists will try the whole
bourgeoisie by revolution.
This challenge to the black shirt dictatorship
was heard around the world. 1t was an inspiration
not alone to the suppressed proletariat of Italy
but Of the workers everywhere. 1t was proof that
the parliamentary rostrum could be used to sound
the clarion call of revolution. 1t was another blow
at capitalism and at the infante disease of petri-
fed leftism and anarcho-syndicalism, which holds
that the workers should keep out Of politics and
out of parliaments.
Communists hold that the governmental organs
of the capitalists cannot be modified to serve the
workers even when the workers come into power.
They must be destroyed and supplanted by the
organs of the proletariat. But in the meantime
bourgeois parliaments offer opportunities for pro
paganda which the revolutionists cannot afford to
miss. The widespread publicity given to the speech
Of the italian Communist deputy proves the value
of parliament a revolutionary sounding board
particularly in times of crisis

stringent measures.
The Latest Victim.
The latest victim of this systematic
campaign is Emanuel vijtauer, editor
of the Obrana, the Czechoslovakian
labor paper Comrade Vijtauer is an
old revolutionist, with a record of
activity in his native country. He
came to the United States in 1923 and
forthwith entered the revolutionary
movement in his country as all revo
mtionists do. He wrote and he spoke
and because he dared to defend the
proletarian revolution in Soviet Rus
STA, and the Soviet government; and
because he. declared that the workers
of this country, too, would be obliged
to put an end to capitalism, emulating
the example of the Russian workers
and peasants, he was arrested and
now is on Ellis Island, being held for
deportation.
His arrest took place only a few
weeks after the arrest OF Comrade
John Lassen, editor Of Vi Elore, the
Hungarian Communist daily. comrade
Lassen is also an old revolutionist,
with record in the seat of black re
action, Horthy's Hungary. Comrade
Lassen was arrested for writing a
poem-and the American government
is afraid even Of poets.
Comrade C. II. Ruthenberg, secre-
tary Of the Workers Party, has been
