THERE is revolt in Portugal. Quite
4 like one of the customary army
rebellions against the government, due
to lack Of pork chops and summer
underwear. OF course, the Commun-
list international is getting the credit
for. it, tho the paid liars of the cap
italist press have not yet concocted
the particulars of the instructions
sent out by Zinoviev, or the exact
numbers of rubles with which the
army leaders were corrupted. But
that will come in day or two.
THE capitalist liars are too busy
just now forging fake letters from
Mnoviev to the Bulgarian Commun-
lists, and have not time to "get the
goods" on the Portuguese revolt. 1t
was not exactly proper for Zinoviev
to order two revolutions at the same
time If the Communist international
wants to gain in popularity with the
capitalist press, it must select chair
man who will plan revolutions so that
half dozen of them don't keep hap
pening at once, and then big long
spell without even an explosion in a
dynamite factory
THE bomb that killed 100 fascists in
4 Sofia, is laid at the door Of the
communist International. The
Tail in, nj
inople goes far as to give the names
Of the persons who are alleged to
have carried out Zinoviev's orders. 1t
gives the amount of money Moscow
poured into Bulgaria. 1t even gives
the exact words of the letter Zinoviev
is alleged to have written to the Sow
let embassy in Constantinople which
this lying pervert says is the head
quarters for Communist plotting in
that region. This is just what we ex-
pected would happen.
OUR readers recollect the famous
~ zinoviev forgery. that was explod
ed on the British public a few days
before the election. The Communist
International demanded that the Brit
ish government prove that its charge
was based on facts, but the tories re-
fused to do anything about it once it
had accomplished its purpose. which
was the discrediting of the labor par
ty in the eyes of enough working class
and middle class voters to insure vic
tory for the tories. After the cleo.
tions were over the British govern
ment conveniently forgot the incident,
tho it was used in this country and
elsewhere by the socialists and the
bourgeois press.
TNHE American workers will not shed
any tears of sorrow over the deaths
Of the murderous crew that fell in
Sofia a few days ago. They owe their
positions to association thru the dag
ger, the bomb and the bullet. That
they are getting their own medicine
back, was to be expected. But assas-
sination is not a Communist weapon
and this fact is known to the liars of
the capitalist press. Individual acts
of terror or violence are denounced
by the Communist movement. These
were the weapons of the social revolu-
tionaries in Russia and the activist
anarchist school. The Bulgarian Com
munists are organizing to overthrow
the fascist regime by the use of mass
force and not individual terror.
ONLY recently we published an ar
~ ticle in the DAILY WORKER
showing that bulgarian ambassadors
in Italy. England and other countries
we're engaged in a plot to get rid of
their political opponents by assassina-
ton. Their intended victims were
Communists and leaders in national
list minority movements. Several Com
