It was a most interesting dinner

Every Communist regards Moscow
as the "Bolshevik paradise" just as
the Moslems regard Mecca as the

it requires something more than oratory to make

died in Atlanta before he fell into hands of the
Shiny crew that uses him to further their attacks
on Soviet Russia and the world revolution. His
name then would have been a source of inspiration
to thousands of workers who knew him only in
the old days when his sympathy for the workers
sufferings made him their champion. He will pass
away soon now and be remembered only as one of
the many leaders who could not recognize the
revolution when it came clothed in the tattered
garments of the workers and peasants, stained
with blood and hewing its path to power thru blood
and fire.

Three News Stories

Three stories on our front page yesterday furnish
food for much thought. One tells of the menace
Of fascism in Germany; the second of the protest
against the recent lynchng of two Negroes sent to
the governor of Georgia and the president of the
United States.
The third tells of forty per cent reduction in the
agricultural tax in Soviet Russia, of the amnesty
declared for the counter-revolutionist who took
part in the menshevik rebellion in Transcaucasia
last year, the sowing of an increased acreage of 10
per cent by the Russian peasants and other items
that show efficiency, liberation and stability
In this great capitalist nation black workers are
burned at the stake; in Germany the capitalists
are considering the emulation of Mussoini-out-
right terrorsation and suppression of the working
class.
From Soviet Russia the news is of mighty and
even majestic character indicating rapid and ir-
resistible progress toward Communist society. In
Russia the interests of the individual has been
subordinated to the interest of the workers and
peasantry-the great majority of the population
The workers and peasants rule thru the Communist
Party their party. They have passed thru the crisis
Of the revolution and the country and all its wealth
belongs to them
There is no persecution of one race by another in
Russia; there is no fascist army to terrorize the
masses, the army is their army.
is il any wonder that every honest worker and
intellectual who spends some time i'm Soviet Russia
is anxious to return? The capitalist press SAYS
otherwise but when we sean the list Of those who
denounce Soviet Russia and the Russian Com
munst Party we find that none of them wanted to
help build the workers and peasants republic but
hoped for its destruction.

The Coolidge Star Sets

If you ask us about what happened in the senate
yesterday will say very frankly that "the strong
silent man" in the White House has been the victim
of a frame-up.
The redoubtable Dawes, the administrations
commissar in the senate was asleep-or says he
was-when the appointment of Charles Warren to
the attorney generalship was turned down. He ar
rived in the chamber just in time to give first aid
to some of the wounded Warrenites who cluttered
up the floor, but too late to be of any assistance
i'm the fray.
We, as our readers are aware are partial to
the theory that Calvin Coolidge is slated for the
scrap heap by the big capitalists who elected him.
We know that the defeat of Warren, the sugar
trust lawyer, will be hailed as a mighty victory
for the forces of democracy by all the ''progres-
sives' and liberals, but it is nothing of the sort.
His defeat is the result of Calvin Coolidge presi-
dent by virtue of the ptomaine poison concealed in
a dead crab, biting off more than he could chew.
Nobody wanted Warren except Coolidge. The
Michigan state republican organization solidly
against him. His record consisted of a large num-
Der of spongy spots from which oozed sickening
slime that most republican politicians could
not see and smell without nausea. But he had been
of the original Coolidge men, was active at the
republican convention and Cal had to have him.
He did not get him, but to say that democracy
has triumphed is to believe that men like Senator
Bruce are champions of the masses.
Coolidge is going to be obliterated in the most
scientific manner. He is a nuisance to his sup
porters because it takes too much publicity and
vigilance to make him popular hero. Dawes is
the type Wall Street wants and after yesterday
Coolidge probably knows that his star is setting.
There have been frameups in Washington before
but none so well staged Coolidge if it is possible
for him to think of anything except paying elec
ton debts, might ponder for few moments on the
cases of Sacco and Vanzetti and Tom Mooney

Gas and Daggers in Geneva

A strong odor of garlic and onions pervades the
diplomatic atmosphere in Geneva. The garlcky
exhalation from the general direction of the
very excited NJ. Skrzynski, representing the Polish
delegation. The onion is well known vegetable
that sometimes brings tears The French govern
ment handed it to Poland yesterday. 1t represents
the new French attitude towards one of hitherto
most pampered clients.
Diplomats are running around like members of
an audience suddenly thrown into panic by the
bursting of stink bombs. Confidence is CONSPICUOUS
by its absence except insofar as everybody is a
confidence man. But too much of good thing is
almost worse than a famine
What is taking place in Geneva is new staging
of the old comedy which was originally put on the
boards at Versailles 1t was a boxoffice fizzle but
beggars can't be chosers. The producers are trying
to jazz it up but the actors don't pull together.
They insist hanging separately.
The maraudng powers of Europe need peace but
they don't want it. The big and little bandits are
attempting to accomplish the impossible in the open
but in secret they are doing the inevitable Falcon
flying was aristocratic sport in medieval days.
Exhibiting the uttering dove has taken its place in
the open spaces but behind the screens the rasp of
daggers licking grindstones falls on the listening
ear
The first thing a diplomat does on awakening
these days in Geneva is to rub his hand cautiously
over his windpipe to learn if the representative of
some friendly" nation has succeeded in carving
that delicate portion of his anatomy during the
night. This is the mental attitude of the states
who are gathered in Geneva to outlaw war.
The Poles worrying about the Danzig cor

doesn't care hang for any other country but

warns Poland that she expects too much from her

More PoIice-For What?

The capitalist press and other agencies of the
ruling class show much ingenuity in devising new
instruments for the suppression of the workers and
farmers The state police bill now before the
Illinois legislature is an example.
The state of Illinois, like every other state in the
union, is covered with law enforcing officials
sheriffs and their deputies, city policemen militia
men, prohibition enforcement officers, in addition
to the squads of private detectives and "watchmen"
maintained by private corporations.
But the nervous capitalists are not content with
this army of mercenaries. Not session of the legis
allure convenes, but a demand is made for addi
onal armed forces For what? To take care OF
criminals? 1t is to laugh. The forces of "law n
order" grow like the green bay tree and crimes
continue to increase by leaps and bounds Police
men do not try to wipe out crime. They encourage
il as a guarantee of permanent employment.
The only time all the forces of the state act un-
animOusly and with enthusiasm is when workers
are on strike or engaged in some other form of
challenging the power Of the capitalists In such
periods no lowly constable is so humble as not to
be ordered to the Joyous task Of clubbing and
shooting workers. The infrequent refusals Of any
Of this ilk to smash skulls for the profit and glory
of capitalism is eloquent testimony showing that
they know to whom they owe allegiance.
Who wants state police? The Illinois chamber
of commerce This ought to be enough to damn
farmer and to unite every section of the labor
movement in resistance to the scheme to make
easier the suppression of the workers.
