Changing Its Tune

The Chicago Tribune has discovered a great
change in Soviet Russia. To the story which fails
to show any specific retreat of the workers and
peasants government it gives first page prominence
in its Sunday issue. 1t generalizes about more
liberal treatment of private traders but the New
Economic Policy, allowing private trade in retail
lines and permitting the peasants to sell their grain
direct after the government tax has been deducted
has been in force for long tme-so long that most
people have forgotten that the capitalist and So
cialist press hailed its Introduction the surren
der of the revolution.
Much water has passed under the bridge since
the introduction of the NEP. The Soviet govern
ment has grown stronger by virtue of the complete
acceptance of it by the Russian masses following
the liquidation of the counter-revolution. Abroad
it has forced recognition from every great power
with the exception Of the United States. In the
Far East it has concluded treaties with China and
Japan, The Chinese Eastern Railway the CON
Meeting link between Soviet Russia and China is
operated jointly with actual control vested in the
Soviet government.
Japan has evacuated Saghalin island under the
terms of the treaty and has entered into active
trade with Soviet Russia. The working masses of
China and Japan see in Soviet Russia a great
friend and ally against the exactiOns of western
Imperialism.
These are a few of the reasons why the Chicago
Tribune finds great changes taking place in Soviet
Russia-changes which make possible American
recognition.
The changes that are taking place, however, are
not the kind that the capitalist press would like
to but it is forced by the pressure of foreign
policy growing out of the imperialist rivaries, to
Lay the ground for a complete reversal in the at
titude of the state department towards Soviet
Russia.
Oh 4l,ok +oI1s -.
strengthened the dictatorship of the workers and
peasants, strengthened the Communist Party of
Russia, the iron core of the Soviet government, and
strengthened the Communist International, the
leader of the world revolution.
World revolution and Soviet recognition are
much more closely connected than many ingenious
people think.

IntelLectuaLs as Informers

Leo Wolman writing in the April 3rd issue of
the Advances organ of the Hillman machine in at
tempting toprove that the Freiheit and the DAILY
WORKER distorted and falsifed the story of
the Chicago Amalgamated meeting of March %,
simply proves that not only the capitalists but
their labor agents are able to hire mental pros
titles.
He admits that members of the Amalgamated
were taken from their jobs for distributing the
eafet sent out by Local of New York and then
notes fact that no one has ever denied, that the
Chicago local of the Workers (Communist) Party
of America paid deposit on Temple hall for the
meeting called by the blacklisted workers. many of
whom are party members
Wolman says he was at Temple hall and saw the
huge crowd but no sluggers. Yet it was necessary
for the manager of the hall to pull gun to prevent
the forcible entrance of gang of suggers there to
wreck the building The manager wanted to call
the police but the party members present would
not allow it.
Wolman echoes the capitalist press and assists
the frameup of young Foster by saying that: "The
coat of worker in the shop was cut with a knife as
a result of his efforts to stop the distribution of
the circulars Fl. Foster was held at 81 900 bail
for carrying concealed weapons"
The boy had no weapon, he was arrested on a
street-car he was escaping from the attack made
on him by gang of sluggers and the coat of the
Hillman tool was cut either by himself or one of
his fellows
This cooperation with the police is given the
highest endorsement by Wolman, who happened"
to be in Chicago the night of the meeting.
He happenes also to be, as his article shows a
liar, an informer and the willing agent of anyone
who will pay him a salary.

A Stable Government.

To the DAILY WORKER: Roger
N. Baldwin, The New Leader, and

there is no longer need of suppress.

methods. But there are several con
siderations left out of their reasoning
In the first place, it is a stable" die.
tatorship. Quite an important item
in the calculation.
In the second place, the govern
ment is stable" in the midst Of hos.
tile surroundings and internal opposi.
ton, which is tribute to the policy
Of dictatorship"
In the third place, the government
is still in the transition stage from
capitalism to a Communist society
with the whole outside world, and
many inside elements, opposed to the
transition. In other words, it is ar
unfinished revolution, and as such, like
all other successful revolutions, it Ii
bound to force its way to the goal
Social-democracy at the presen
stage, as a block in governmental at
fairs, would invite and inspire al
sorts of opposing intrigues and united
fronts in favor of bourgeoisie and cap
italist representation in determining
public policy. And naturally, in year
or two land the country in Morgan's
Wall Street dictatorship with the
rest of the so-called demooracies.

40 Years for Class Conscious
Soldiers

Had Private Paul Crouch of the American army
Of occupation in Hawaii been located somewhere in
the United States when he formed Communist
league, he would probably have received "bobtaiP
discharge and perhaps a short Jail sentence
AS it happened he was in one of the colonies Of
American imperialism and was given 40 years.
Private Trumbull, another active member of the
league, yet to be tried will probably receive the
same brutal treatment.
These soldiers are charged with no overt acts
simply with holding certain political beliefs of
which the miitarists do not approve. In other
words they are members of the workingclass first
and soldiers only incidentally. Even in the home
land this is considered a serious matter but in
areas like Hawaii, set apart for intensive expoita
ton and for use as naval bases such frame of
mind is met with the severest punishment.
The army is a special instrument of robbery and
oppression. 1t is an organization on which the
outraged wOrkingclass.
The trial and sentences of our soldier comrades
in Hawaii shows clearly the class nature of this
armed force of the capitalist state.
There must be set on foot in the United States
movement of agitation and protest for the release
of these sOldier-wOrkers. 1t must be linked up
with the open preparation for another war by the
miitarsts seen in the flood of propaganda released
thru the capitalist press the movies the radio and
the magazines.
Surely if admirals and maior-generals are al
lowed to urge the masses to slaughter one another
we can arouse the same masses to action for the
protection of sOlderworkers who refuse to be mere
machines which Imperialism set in motion to NOV
down the workingclass.

The Course of Empire

South Africa has abolished the preferential tar
ifs that gave Britishmade goods the edge on the
products of other countries and another link in the
chain of empire has been seriously weakened.
All talk of the genius displayed for ruling by the
Anglo-Saxons is pure bunk. Colonies and domin-
ions dependent politically upon the imperialist
nation when their economy and finance is domin-
ated by the colonial power When this condition
changes as it has changed in Canada, Australia,
South Africa and to some extent in India, domino
ton sooner or later becomes question of battle
ships and armies-not of ability to rule by kind
ness and understanding.
The course Of empire was on the upgrade until
the world war. Then it hit the toboggan as the
abolition of preferential tariffs by white colonies
and the continual armed uprisings of the colored
peoples prove.

The French Crisis

The election crisis in Germany is followed by
cabinet crisis in France.
The French government is forced at last to con-
slider what it has been trying to avoid ever since
the war-a taxation scheme that will give the
French budget something more than the Alice in
Wonderland character it now has.
A capital levy is proposed on fortunes of $4,000
and over which is expected to raise 81 900, 0OO
The mere consideration of this plan is an indica
ton that the receipt of large sums from German
PREPARATIONS is considered outside possibility
and that the French population is to be told that
it will have to bear the burden of the war debts
A striking illustration of the contradictions
which prevent any liquidation of the economic and
political crises in Europe is contained in a recent
dispatch from France wherein one NJ. Dardel,
manufacturer Of railway equipment urges the ces
sation of German reparatiOn payments in kind on
the ground that they running French indus
try. Railway rolling stock says this capitalist
cannot be sold to England and America but only
in the Balkans where there is no prospect of pay
ment. Yet if the French market is closed to Ger
man commodities the PREPARATIONS go glimmering
So drastic taxation, the most hated word in the
French language, is necessary.
The hand of the House of Morgan begins to show
itself 1t will be recalled that shortly before the
Dawes plan was put into operation a levy was
made on German capital and the proceeds used to
StaDllSe the currency. IaAatlOn was increased all
along the line. The German government railways
handed TO a syndicate of private owners
The French debt of $6,OOO,OO0,OOO to America
and Great Britain has now become, like the Ger
PREPARATIONS were, the major factor in internal
politics. The House of Morgan and the British
bankers will act more or less as a unit in forcing
some kind of financial reform on the French gov
ernment-Great Britain because she will no longer
allow France free hand in building a military
machine that threatens her supremacy, the House
Of Morgan because it wants to extend American
hcgem0ny over western Europe. If the French in
ternal situation tends towards chaos the
House Of Morgan will be able to exact better terms
for its next loan.
Postponed by juggling of the budget, the negotia-
ton of loans at a suicidal rate of interest, by en-
~onra9ine the belief that the German reparations
would lquidate the Indebtedness, by dreams Of
military conquest, France is at last called upon
to pay the piper
Whether the Herriot government falls and new
elections are held or whether it receives the back
ing of the chamber and the senate, the French
people have been iolted rudely out Of a trance
wherein was the pleasant vision of the con
quered bearing the full cost Of the war.
This is Of immense significance of the French
Communist Party and the whole revolutionary
movement. stNrF

The AII-Russian Trade Union Con-
gress and the A5rltlsh Delegation.
The scene now shifts to Moscow to
the Sixth All-Russian Trade Union
Congress there, at which a fraternal
delegation from the British Trade
Union Congress was present. The
definite atmosphere of friendliness
created during the visit of the fra.
ternal delegates from Russia to the
Hull Trade Union Congress, evil
denced by the extremely warm re-
ception of the Russian delegates over
and above all others, was carried
further by return visit on the part
of the British The fraternal delega-
tiOn (Which left London on Nov. z,
1924, and was away six weeks) was
composed as follows: Messrs. A. A.
Purcell president of the /. F. T. U.
and chairman of the delegation,) Fred
Bramley (secretary), John Bromley
Allan Findiay, Herbert Smith, Ben
Tillett, and John Turner.
Here negotiations resulted in a fur.
Their proposal towards unity. such as
the formation of an Anglo-Russian
commission. This was strongly sup
ported in his speech as fraternal dele
gate by Mr.. A. A. Purcell and other
British delegates. The British delega-
ton held several consultations, and
finally this letter was sent by them
to Tomsky:
