U.S.S.R. DECLINES
INvITATIO TO
ARM CONFERENCE
Chicherin Takes Smash
at League of Nations
Especial to The DAILY Worker


MOSCOW,-(By Mail) The follow
ing telegram has been sent by G.
Chicherin, Peoples Commissary Of
Foreign Affairs, to the General Secret
ariat Of the league of nations in reply
to the latters' invitation extended to
the Soviet government to join the
pending international arms traffic con-
ference;
I'm reply to your letter Of January
9Th last, in reference to the invita-
ton extended to the government OF
the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publics to take part in the interna-
tional conference for studying draft
convention on the International arms
traf1o, have the honor to bring to
your notice the following:
THE Soviet government has on re-
peated occasions stated its negative
attitude toward the league Of nations
as 1t is actually constituted; and
while, in minor questions Of tech
nical order as well as on certain oc-
casions with a purely humanitarian
purpose, the Soviet government con-
scented to cooperate in certain dis
cussions held under the auspices of
the league Of nations, such consent
on It's part did not in any way modify
/, the general negative attitude of the
Soviet government with regard to the
league-which circumstance this gov
eminent always took care to put into
relief.
However in the present case, the
government of the Union does not find
II possible to cooperate with the
league Of nations in the examination
Of question entailing the interior
ence of the league Of nations with the
internal affairs of the Soviet Repub-
lies. Neither does the government of
the Soviet Union deem It possible to
be Eubordinated to the decisions and
Intervention Of the league.
I'm view Of the above motives, the
Soviet Union is constrained to decline
to participate in the conference to be
convened on May of this year"

EmIcres Must Take New Road

MOSCOW, May 22.-It is proposed
this year to direct emigrants from So
Wet Russia to United States thru
Leningrad. In this reference the nor
thern board Of the State Commercial
Fleet is taking up the question OF
carrying to America about 1000 Me-
nonites German sectarian colonists
living mainly in the Azov Sea and the
river Don districts.) The Leningrad
papers remark that this will be a
novelty, as previous to the war the
flood of Russian emigration to the
United States went thru two ports
only, namely-odessa, In the south,
and Libau (near Riga), In the north.

Don't let the Tobacco Trust bunco you.
Get your tobacco direct from the
farm and SAVE MONEY

You workers and we farmers can join
hands and beat the capitalistic tobacco
trust at their own game.
DO you know WHY you have had to
pay so much for your tobacco2 We used
10 have TO sell to the trust or they'd
let our tobacco rot on our hands. They
paid us next to nothing for our finest
grades, sometimes mixed them with
lot OF alfalfa and dope and sweepings,
dolled them up in fancy bags or had
starving sweat shop labor in sinking
dungeons make unfit cigars-and charged
you fancy prices-and made millions
that fat trustl But those days are gone
forever The u. S. Government now
let's us farmers sell direct to you without
paying the heavy revenue tax on tobacco
which the trust has to pay.

THE official leaders Of the German
trade unions, are the servants Of
the house Of Morgan and of the Bril-
fish bankers in trying to make the
Dawes plan work. Remember that the
profits from the Dawes plan must
come out Of the bodies Of the German
workers. This gang are in accord with
the social-democrats who murdered
Luxembourg and Karl Liebknecht. The
story of their crimes would take up
too much space here.

A ND France! One Of the most Zero
"A cious Of the moderate" socialists
OF France is M. Jouhaux, secretary Of
the General Confederation Of Labor.
He is against unity between the work
ers in the Russian trade unions and
the workers in the unions affiliated
with Amsterdam. But he is not against
unity with the capitalists. There he
was at the arms parley in Geneva
believing like an OK in behalf of
French interests. Jouhaux, the social
list and labor leader defending the
most militaristic nation on the con-
tinent of Europel Isn't this a sight
for the gods? And only last week,
Paul Boncour, prominent socialist
leader delivered speech at the same
conference, that won the applause Of
leading American politicians. Social
ism no longer has any terror for the
bourgeoisie.

Chicago stockyards. They are part

and will go down with 1t. Russia is
the only country in the world free
from that type of pest. Russia got rid
Of them when the fires of revolution
were raging. Today, the labor leaders
Of the Soviet Union are servants of
the Soviet Union, which is the republic
Of the workers and peasants. Yellow
socialists and anarchists will say:
Whats the difference? Are not the
labor leaders in Russia In alliance
with the government" Sure thing,
but the big difference is that the gov
eminent in which they are in alliance
with is a workers government.

Course Of Lectures for Worker
Correspondents Planned

A series of lectures for workers
correspondents is to be given, starting
the first Thursday in July, by Com
rade William F. Dunno, editor Of the
DAILY WORKER, as a means Of get
ting more working class news direct
from the shops.
Comrade Dunno also gave report on
the work among the Negroes, espe-
cially in relation to the coming Amer
lean Negro Labor congress, stressing
strongly the need Of conducting the
agitation among the trade unions.
Unions and other working class boz
dies are being visited by members OF
local Negro committee on the Negro
Labor congress.
The greatly increasing sale of liter
ature, such as the Little Red Library,
Workers Monthly, ETC., by the English
units especially was commented on
by Comrade Hammersmark. The
house to house and factory drive for
DAILY WORKER subscriptions are
bearing fruit, though hundreds more
of party members must be drawn I'm
to this most important elementary
work of building and insuring the
DAILY WORKER.
The recent Irish, the Balkan protest
and the Jewish left wing Workmen
Circle protest meetings were reported
on in conjunction with Labor Defense
Council. The party and Y. W. l.. are
to hold soon a protest meeting for
the release OF the Communist soldiers,
Crouch and Trumbull. Report on the
miners situation and party activity
in Illinois was given by the secretary.

bining with the so-called Lore group
and thereby defeating the resolution
of the central executive committee,
which has previously been adopted
unanimously, and
WHEREAS, such tactics are moth
ing more or less than support Of the
right wing in the party which the
c. I. has categorically condemned,

"RESOLVED, that we hereby call
the attention of the central executive
committee to the somewhat similar
situation existing in Chicago in the
Amalgamated and the support, active
or passive, given by certain comrades
to the right wing Shneid group, in and
out of the party, and urge the central
executive committee to conduct a
thorough investigation of the Chicago
needle trades situation and take such
action as may be necessary to elimin-
ate all opprtunistic tendencies in the
local party organization and unite the
party against this danger which the
G. I. has pointed out"
Building a Left Bloc in The Trade
Unions
Excellent program on the indus
trial field in other unions was report
ed by Comrade Jack tombstone, in
dustrial organizer. In |. L. G. pre-
parations are being made to enter a
slate in the elections, and the left
wing can be expected to put up stiff
fight and to get results for the left
wing. l. L. G. left-wingers are meet
ing now and are drawing up a pro-
gram and slate.
In the Amalgamated the party mem
bership is responding to the necessity
Of eliminating confusionism and op.
portunism among some elements, as
the resolution passed charged, and a
sound left block in the Amalgamated
will surely crystalize itself.
In the Machinists elections the vote
Of 4 to 1 for Anderson as against
B. & o. Johnston shows that the left
wing conducted a strong campaign
of propaganda for its program.
In the BARRIERS Union where our
comrades have been developing a
strong sentiment for the progressive
group, the machine is now retaliating
with charges for suspensions and ex-
pulsions, with our comrades resisting
to the full.
Resolutions against the class COLA
boration scheme of Scabby Bill Lee
are being brought up in various rail-
road and machinists locals. In the
painters, Comrade tombstone, re-
ported, first signs of a small develop
ing left wing are to be noticed and
in the carpenters, progress has, OF
course, been much more marked of
recent.

conference would. have his hearty
personal sympathy.
The actual participation of the
United States in the conference, and
the measure of it, are matters yet to
be determined 1t may be that the
League, mindful of the repeated re-
fusal of the United States to join in
such conferences, may not extend an
invitation. Should such an invita-
ton be issued, it is the opinion of
] the President that it's acceptance is
matter for determination by Con-
gress.
The United States can hardly af-
ford to be absent from a conference
OF this nature. To say, as some are
already saying, that disarmament
conference under League auspices
would be of Importance to Europe
alone is wholly untrue. Japan,
| China, South and Central America
are all represented in the League
and would be affected by it's decis-
ions. But even if Europe alone
were thus involved, the United
States would still be vitally inter-
Eested. If the foreign debts, now in
process of funding at Washington,
are ever to be paid, there must be
material reduction of expenditures
for armaments in the debtor coun-
tries. II new war debts are not to
be incurred, If indeed the whole fl
nancial and political fabric of
Europe is not to go down in the red
ruin of another war, some check
must be put upon the development
of menacing armaments. It is worse
than idle to say that the United
States is not interested in such a
precautionary movement If purely
financial considerations be the test,
no nation is more deeply interested,
more vitality involved.
Partisan politics and senatorial
pride of opinion should not be per-
mitted to debar the United States
from joining in every effort to check
the ruinous competition in arma-
ments.-Christians Science Monitor.
