LaFoIIette ''Progressives"
Never Heard of Loans to
Ant-Soviet Agent Here
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL

TODAY little more of the truth about Americas partc-
patton in the world to light when it is shown
that President Woodrow Wilson ordered $1,50ooooooo
loaned to the bankrupt nations of western Europe i'm
very excited because this done Illegally The money
raised thru the of the socaed Liberty Bonds for
purposes Congress had voted against the afterhe-
loans. But Wilson, in Paris at the Peace Conference
building his League of Nationsthe Black Capitalist Inter
Acknowledgement the loans put thru Capitalist Europe had
be buwarked against the threat of the social
all Europe, in the winter months of 1882 following
Immediately on the heels Of the war
The excuse for extending aid to czecho-SIovaka was
typical of all the declared that advances
provide flood food products urgently in
military measure prevent the spread
of anarchy Everywhere that the foundations of capitalism
melting away, these Wilson the job with Amer
lean gold to bolster them up.
Additional facts light the careful soIicitude
harbored by the Wilson regime for Boris 6ametef who
rived the United States the Kerensy spokesman after
the Boshevk revolution had placed power In the hands of
the workers and peasants
Wilson's petted darngs American gold Iavishy show
cred upon him. Loans were made to him on his own a. o.
nations of the Versailles Peace in feVersh effort to
throw Soviet Rule
Much of this already been pointed in the COL
of the DAILY WORKER 1t has been broadcasted to
Communist movement.
One of the surprises Of this latest scandal" the
mission made by members of the foreign relations
mtee of the house of representatives that they knew moth
ing about the loans Bakmetef They Surprised
HENRY ALLEN COOPER republican representative from Wis
consn supporter particularly
really nothing horseback"
EDWARD BROWNE, republican representative Wis
surplus war supplies Europe at extremely low figure but the other
surprise understand why
the Russian ambassador after the Russian
collapsed"
Both Cooper and Browne have been in capitalist politics
for long time under the tuteage of LaFoette. Cooper
was the LaFoee spokesman the floor OF the national
republican convention at Cleveland last Both of
them actually members OF the house foreign relations COM
mttee confess that they ignorant of the
information that the American capitalist government
Washington was carefully nurtrng the interests OF an
agent Of the Russian couner-revoIton in this country
And Browne with this information thrust upon
him. doesn't understand why American capitalism should do
such naughty thing" 1t beyond the nfantiIe compre
hsn:on Of the capitalist brand q democracy that paradss
play OF their usual childish faith in capitalism.
Wilson not only backed the Bakneteff mission in this
country but the money turned to the fake ambas
sador helped finance his embas
sizes in Norway and Belgium. Bakmetef also tried to get
money support his embassies Brazil Chile Uruguay
Paraguay where the pro-Boshevk sentiment especially
the trade union movements of those countries very
strong. 1t is claimed that these ambitions of Bakmetef
not satisfied But any honest worker may have his
own doubts
Yet there capitalists and their political Iackeys in
this country who claim Soviet Russia ought repay the
States.
Instead the workers of this country should vehementy
demand that the United States government indemnify the
Russian Soviet Republic for the damage has thru
supporting counerrevoutionary activities against it. This
would easily mount into billions of good American gold
dollars.
Cooper and Browne speaking for their brand of pro
gressvsm offer their usual remedy in the words of the
former, "a comprehensive investigation"
Let the workers and poor farmers who supported this
cheap LaFoette byprcduot of capitalist politics at last falls
elections realize that what they need is comprehensive
ton under the leadership of the Workers communist)
Party And the only worth while action for the workers
and farmers to struggle vigorously for the overthrow of
this capitalist SYSTEM Woodrow Wilson Iabored
tain it, especially in the days Of peace negotiations Yer
