U. S. Minister Incites Massacre OfWOrkers

at first threatening Jugo-Slavia with
war, and denouncing in parliament
the war threats of the Jugo-Slav
minister and obedient to the Morgan
banking interests, began wholesale
murder of Communists and even of
suspected radical workers and peas
ants.
On Friday, Wilson cabled to Wash
ington that everything had turned out
satisfactorily, and that large numbers
Of workers had been executed without
trial while the list of those impris-
oned ran into thousands. Communists
were being shot on the streets when
pointed out by socialists, who have
uniformly acted as the spies of the
Zankov dictatorship and assistant to
the mass murderer, General Lazaroff.
Massacre Continues
Meanwhile, the massacre continues
undated. Even the soldiers were shot
down by white guards, because they
refused to fire on their brother work
ers, whom they knew were innocent
of completely in the cathedral explo-
sion.
The 1000 additional troops" so
gladly granted by the league of ma
tons, are composed of this white
guard element, and are being used to
murder the private soldiers who are
unwilling to carry out the massacre
of workers at the behest of the Amer
lean banking and governmental inter-
ests.

Jugo-Slavia was, prior to the inter-
vention in the affair by the United
States minister, preparing to go to
war with Bulgaria. Moreover, the
Bulgarian officials declare that the
instructions inside the cathedral bomb
were printed in Serbian language and
that bombs and arms were smuggled
wholesale by Jugo-Slavia to the Ser
bian patriots inside Bulgaria.
Juao-Slavia-Not Communists
Responsible
1t is also revealed that the sexton
of the church, named Zagorsky, direct
ly confessed that the bomb came from
Jugo-Slavia, that the explosion was
an act of Jugo-Slavians, and that in
addition the band which ambushed
King Boris few days previous on
the Bulgarian highway outside of
Sofia, were Serbians from Jugo-slavia.
The United States Minister, Wilson,
upon instruction from Washington,
entered the affair with the purpose
of preventing war between Bulgaria
and Jugo-Slavia, by concealing the
latter's part in the explosion, and get
ting the Zankov government, which
has held it's power so far by mass
murder of workers and peasants, to
continue and intensive its bloody
campaign under the falsehood that the
Communists were responsible for the
explosion.

American Policy in Bulgaria

Some one should write a monograph on the
counter-revolutionary role of American ambassa-
doris who, with a satchel of Morgan gold in one
pear at the headquarters of the bankrupt states
at critical moments and deliver ultimatums as to
the course to be pursued.
When two or more of the anemic products of
Wilsonian self-determination subject to modifca-
tions by Lloyd George and Clemenceau, Jugo-
Slavia and Bulgaria for instance are about to fly
at one another's throats, the American ambassador
appears as peacemaker. loud applause from the
social-patriots, liberals and pacfsts)
But the peace is peace of dictators and not of
peoples. In both Jugo-Slavia and Bulgaria the
most horrible atrocities are perpetrated on the
workers and peasants. The American ambassador
does not protest against these mass murders but
sends out messages that 'the situation has i'm
proved Tin Bulgaria). A number of executions have
taken place and about 1900 arrests have been
made"
Charles s. Wilson is the American ambassador
to Bulgaria The dispatches to the capitalist
press under Sofia dateline say:
.... United States minister played a leading
role In aVertns crisis in the relations between
Bulgaria and JuuosIavia. He visited the Bulgarian
ONCE once or twice daily during the trouble and
energeticaiy insisted that Il not throw the
slbity for the bomb explosion the JugoslavIan
government, tho Il that the instructions
inside the bomb written In Serbian -.
that bombs and arms came from Jugo-SlaVa
that the band which attacked King Boris came from
Jugo-savis the Bulgarian government I'm
mediateIy accepted Mr.. Wilson's viewpoint.
1t is thru the good offices of the American am
bassador then, that instead of blaming the Jugo-
Slavian government for the bomb explosion the
Zankov government decided to blame the Bull
garian Communists and begin a campaign of ex-
termination of militant workers and peasants with
an added force of 10000 Wrangel bandits which
the allied imperialists, over the protests of the
Greek and JugoSlavian governments, allowed it
to recruit.
The slaughter of the Bulgarian workers and
peasants is the bloody fruit of the policy of Amer
lean Imperialism Without a soldier on Bulgarian
soil or even on the continent of Europe, by inan-
cial pressure alone, the American government die
tates policy in the Balkans and wages war on the
working class.
1t is no exaggeration when we say that Amer
lean capitalism is the backbone, heart and sinew
of world counter-revolution.

Certain British Conservative opinion

anti-Semitic hysteria which seizes on
certain sections Of this party. A. great
understanding. Certain sections OF the
great British Conservative party will
never be able to comprehend the inner
meaning OF ZionIsm. But little
thought should convince them Of the
advantages of the Zionist programme to
the British empire from the Imperialist
point OF view. In approaching the sub
ject from this angle | must not be un-
derstood as putting it forward as a
chief reason why any British govern
ment should stick to its bargain with
the Zionists But the political import
ance of the fuliilment Of the Zionist
programme during the next two or
three decades cannot be overlooked, and
should not be forgotten by all those who
are anxious for the peace of the world
in general and for the tranquility of
the British empire In particular. i.
therefore, propose to deal with the sit
uation of Palestine when the Zionist
programme is on the road to fulfillment,
purely from the strategical angle. The
making OF the desert bloom with fruit
and flowers, the creation OF center

Now, for these undoubted advan-
tages for the peace of the world and
the British Empire to be obtained
there must be steady increase in
the Zionist population of the Holy
Land. There should be no difficulty
about this. There are 17,000,0 900 Jews
in the world to draw on, and many OF
them are only too anxious to get
away from their unfortunate sur
roundings in Central and Eastern
Europe and start afresh in Palestine.
And it is not fair to confine permits
to those who have acquired wealth in
the countries of their birth. Many OF
the poor Jews in Poland and Rou-
mania only want fair chance in a
new country to make good.
For all these reasons the British
people, and in particular, the Con-
servatives and Imperialists should be
most grateful to the Keren Hayesod
which is really performing a service
of great advantage to the British
Empire and up to July 81, 1925, had
expended f1,979,456 in introducing
immigrants into the country and on
public works. The new State is al

cumulated a balance of revenue over
expenditure of 100000 Egyptian
pounds. Business men of various ma

In this connection it is a pity that
when the boundaries of the inundated
area of Palestine were laid down that
Trans sjordania was not included in the
administrative system. This was
urged on the Government at the time

of the situation and with an eye to
the future. Transjordania has great

country, and also it would be easier
to abolish disease from the valley of
the Jordan if both sides of that val
ley were under the same administra-
ton. Also the left bank of that river
being held by the inhabitants of the
mandated area makes the defense of
Palestine towards the east easier.
However, the British Government
with its entanglements with the
Arabs and its preoccupation with
many other affairs at that time, failed
to recognize the Importance of Trans.
jordania to Palestine and it was lost
for the time being. Mr.. Lloyd George

GIRL CLERK TAKEN TO IDENTIFY CHAPMAN
Miss Larson May Strength en States Case Against
 Bandit

Miss Edith Larson, an employe of the Davidson X Leventhal depart ment store, was taken to Hartford this afternoon by Chief William c. Hart and Detective Sergeant Will liam P. McCue, the purpose of the trip not being announced by the po- lice. It is believed that Miss Larson will be called upon by the police to say whether Chapman was the man she saw removing the screws from a lock on one of the front doors of the store on October Il, the day before the burglary.
 It is understood that States At torney Hugh NJ. Alcorn, County De- tective Edward Hickey and the two local police officials will have their first conference with Chapman since his arrival at the Wethersfield state prison. No explanation for the ap- pearance Of Walter F. Shean at the arraignment of Chapman this after noon was forthcoming. and 1t is be- lieved that his presence was for further identifying the notorious bandit. He also will probably be present when Chapman Is inter viewed.
