items on one side Of the ledger only
are to be taken into account.
IT is said here in Russia that Kol-
1 chak's army was accompanied by
American engineers or army officers
whose task was to investigate the
natural resources adjacent to the 81.
berian railways.
If the armies of Kolchak, Deniken,
Wrangle, and the Murmansk army
had met in Moscow or somewhere in
central Russia, the international f.
nanciers could have set up a puppet
government, and proceeded to divide
the resources of Russia among them
selves. They would then have had
the same stranglehold on the Russian
people that the Dawes plan has prob
ably given them on the people of Ger
many.
DUSSIA had been a loyal ally dur
IN ing the war and had been dis.
abled. and the morality OF the attack
made on her by her allies in her
crippled condition, was that of pack
of wolves devouring one of their mum.

patton; but the principal cause Of its
failure was the heroic efforts of the
Russian Red Army which beat back
the invaders on all fronts. This Red
Army, by the way, was composed
mainly Of young Russian peasants
who had not been on the Austrian and
German fronts and this was their first
experience in war.
EST they forget, it is well to re-
- mind the financiers of these little
occurrences which show that they
cannot always depend on the common
people to help carry out their pur-
poses even when their governments
act as their agents.
The British oil companies without a
shadow of right had taken possession
of the Baku oil fields, and held pos
session until the Red Army was al.
most within striking distance, when
the workers rebelled, and the British
were forced to retire. The oil ex.
tracted during the British occupation
is one small item to be considered in
the final settlement If it is ever
made. Russia very properly refuses
TO consider a settlement in which the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-03-07

THE securing by American financi-
1 ers of a concession from the Rus
sian government for the operation of
the manganese deposits in Georgia
for term of twenty years, throws an
illuminating side light on the Rus
sian intervention. If the interven-
ton had been successful, the afore-
said financiers would in all probability
have secured permanent control of
the deposits for nothing, instead of
their costing the tidy sum of 500, 00O,-
900. Can Messrs. Hughes. and Hoover
still hold the opinion that Russia
has nothing to trader
0NE can put two and two together,
~ and reach a conclusion that will
require positive evidence to dislodge.
That conclusion is, that the Russian
Intervention was plot by interna-
tional financiers, who dominated their
respective governments at the time,
TO secure and divide up the resources
of Russia thru the activities of the
allied governments acting as their
agents.
THE plot failed, partly on account

can troops in the Murmask region and

form of society dependent upon racial
disharmony within given capitalist
state, upon religious antagonisms, etc
Only seven years after the proletarian
revolution, the extent to which all
vestiges of racial hostility has been
eradicated is marvellous, to say the
least.
t is probable that no colonial people
l suffer the weight of Imperialism to
the extent that the Negro does,
whether he be in the new world or in
Africa. If we look at the map Of AT
RIGA, we note that there are only two
free and independent Negro states
the Republic Of Liberia on the West
coast and the Abyssinian empire on
the Eastern coast. The rest of Africa
has been parcelled out among the i'm
perialist nations of Europe, and we
find Portugal politically responsible
for territory in Africa twenty-one
times the size of Portugal itself; Bel
GUM with territory almost forty times
its size; and Britain and France ruI.
ing far more black than white men,
all in all.3 This is an unnatural situa.
ton and certainly cannot continue.
n ND why do we find these European
n powers maintaining a political
hold on the African continent? 1t is
for no other purpose than to maintain
markets for their surplus products and
even to have ready source of raw
material for their home industries.
And the system inherently brings the
dispossession of the native from his
land, forced labor, military conscrip-
ton, a policy of extending only mini
mum of education, and in every
respect the institution of a policy on
the part Of the imperialist nations
that shall function in ever keeping the
native African dependent, backward
and in every way pillar of the i'm
perialist structure.
The black man cannot rise under
the weight of capitalism.
THE extent of the power of any Civ
en- imperialist state over the
darker races may be a fine measure
ment Of the extent to which racial
problems obtain within that particular
state, for in the very nature of imper.
ialism the working class of the dom
inant race assumes an attitude of ar
rogance and racial superiority towards
the colonial peoples in that state.
One who has just returned from
Russia experiences an establishment
in reading the many false accounts in
our great metropolitan papers of the
conditions in Soviet Russia, and GER
tainly of the Communists. 1t is to be
expected that the capitalist class OF
all countries must ever keep up cam.
paign Of lies against Soviet Russia,
