Communist Colonial Policy
in Practice

ALI Is not going vel for French Imperialism In
the Rifian war. The facts Of mutinies among the
French troops and general disafection in the whole
expedit1onary force are escaping the censorship
The war is unpopular among the French workers
and the peasants see in 1t only an excuse for
further heavy taxation. Recruiting Is slow and
the Communist Party Is leading the agitation
against enlistments-
AS usual the ministry OF war tried to create
the impression that only few minor battles would
be necessary to crush the Rifaans, but it is mat
ter of public knowledge now that not only have
the French forces suffered severe defeats but that
at the best huge army and many months viii be
required for victory and even with this extensive
and costly preparation victory is not certain.
A speedy defeat of the Rifhans would cause com
paratively few complications at home, but this is
impossible and the longer the struggle continues
THE more FESTIVE become the tribesmen in other
French possessions and the French populace.
Coupled with the precar1ous state of French
finances this LATEST venture creates real crisis.
In the old days such projects could be con
Quoted with more less secrecy and even if known
did not result in great disaecton in the ranks of
the working class. The parties of the Second In
etrnationa1 never thought Of aiding the liberation
movements IN the colonies of their respective
tries and the imperialists could crush uprisings
with ease and dispatch
But the situation has changed. The colonial
peoples have a new outlook since the world war.
They have become accustomed to the use of
weapons Of modern warfare and the Communist
parties extend every possible aid TO them. The
working class In the imperialist nations are not in
accord with these adventures Of their rulers for
which they are recruited and for which they must
pay either with their lives or in lowered standards
Of living
So far these colonial movements are more or less
sporadic and lacking in unity But the tendency is
to unite In the common struggle against imperial
ism and every extension Of imperialist oppression
as the French war on the Riffs, brings more unity
among the colonial peoples
With the working class in France and the
colonial peoples working in harmony against the
bloody system of robbery, French capitalism is
confronted with power that it cannot crush.
The extension of this united front to include
the workers of all imperialist nations and all
colonial and semi-colonial peoples means the vic
tory of the world revolution, world Soviet Re
public.

had got hold of command Of the

Why Wall Street Laughs

President Gales of Mexico breaks strikes and
smashas unions and the Mexican Federation Of La
Dor issues manifestos to the workers telling them
to like it
So it is that Gales is popular hero in the
American capitalist press and the idol of the
yellow socialists
His latest exploit is to break the strike of
Huasteca oil workers and come out openly against
them in their endeavor to force concessions from
foreign oil capitalists This also has the support
of the Mexican labor takers and it must bring
grin of glee to the faces Of the Wall Streeters
to see the wholehearted cooperation and profitable
returns they are getting from the money invested
in, first, substituting the offcialdom of the Amer
lean Federation Of labor and secondly in its Amer
icanizing Of the Mexican labor movement thru its
officials and the socialist hangers-on.
It is far cry from Mexico to Ireland, but the
similarity in role and method between the Free
state government and the Gales regime is too
obvious to be overlooked Both murder the most
militant workers and sell the rest to their i'm
perialist masters while the labor offcialdom of
both nations not only applauds but conspires to
weaken and destroy all resistance in the ranks Of
the working class.
The Communist Party of Mexico alone points out
10 the working class the treacherous role Of their
leaders and points to the path Of struggle which
they must follow.

were quite Indifferent to the fact that
their plan was exposed from the be-
ginning. They used the forged forms
without rejecting that the Comm
tern, as an international organiza-
ton can have no Department for
Foreign Relations" since the Com
munist parties are for 1t no foreign"
organizations, but their own sections.
At the end Of this monstrous "docu-
ment" they put the signature Of some
imaginary A. Dorot Without turn
ing hair, they, in this document"
passed sentence Of death on some
unknown persons and fixed on the
executioners who were to carry out
this verdict" And, to prove the
genuineness OF their production, they
even added the mysterious words
"Quena Ojuka Taueb" and go so far
as to mention the code AL. e." etc.
The Central Section" instructs the
Balkan Section" to pass on the
decree-naturally in full-coded. At
the same time, however, they write
this decree in pure Russian !-obvious-
ly with the intention of making it
possible for the band of forgers to
read it, should it fall" into their
hands. Otherwise, Of course, it could
not be exposed.
TINE rulers Of Sofia have, as is well
known, declared war on their peo-
pie: martial law, court martials, per-
can,,f{r,1, nR ft,n sG3I1n,.o1np a.. Al. -
lagos and in the towns, street fight
ing, daily murders and suicides" per-
sons disappearing without leaving
trace behind them, individuals jump
ing from the building of the secret
police in Sofia, the houses Of sus-
pected persons being set on fire,
wholesale arrests, barbaric tortures,
etc. AS, however, the government In
cludes not only generals but also
professors who appreciate the sig
nificance Of the moral element" in
warfare, the above-more or less
crudely Balkan measures are not the
only methods of fighting used, for they
might rouse the Indignation of pub
lie opinion among the democratic
powers" Other. finer, intellectual
methods Of fighting, l. e. "Zinoviev
letters" are added which, as ex-
perience has shown, are not condemn
ed even in countries possessing all
the virtues, such as England. To do
them justice, we must acknowledge
that the Sofa strategists made use
Of this kind Of weapon as early as
during the preparations for their
September attack in 1923, that is to
say, year earlier than the English
conservatives; it is only now, how
ever, that they have learned to handle
this weapon in an accomplished and
cold-blooded manner. The Moscow
order" published in Sofia is indeed
their masterpiece.
At the very moment when the gov
eminent has modified all it's repres-
sive and provocative forces, when, in
the towns, in the villages and in the
woods, thousands of workers and

Burlington Train oxerturns.

man was killed and two others, all
members of the crew, injured when a
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy pas
senger train derailed and overturned
several miles west OF Novinger, Mis-
souri,, early today. Fireman Robert
Watson, of Milan, was killed outright,
pinned beneath the locomotive.
Engineer Harry Kendall OF Milan,
and Baggageman C. F. Lewis were
cut and bruised when they leaped
from the train. No passengers were
injured, but panic ensued when the
entire train stalled on the brink OF a
steep embankment.

"the order Of the e. @. @. +" with re-
gard to the declaration Of the insur-
rection, which had been written on
an exposed Berlin form. The moment
has indeed been we'll chosen and the
effect is tremendous. How is the Bull.
garian petty bourgeois to know any
thing about the forged forms from
Berlin? How could he, since not only
the Communist, but every more or less
independent press was suppressed
long ago. No one in the country can
write anything which is contrary to
the orders of the Zankov police And
II, at any time, the forgery is exposed,
It will be too late, as by that time the
government will have attained Its
ends.
THE fact remains that the whole
press has, with great eagerness,
published this document" With the
exception Of two papers which en-
press certain doubt as to its gem
uineness, all the rest of the papers,
among them the socIaI-demooratlo or
gan, represent IT as a genuine docu-
ment. The foreign correspondents who
are well paid by the government,
have communicated it to the foreign
press. Bulgaria is represented as an
unfortunate victim of the devilish
plans Of the Comintern, at the back
Of which, of course, is the Soviet gov
eminent The latter is said to have
no less an object than that of wiping
the Bulgarian people from the face
Of the earth. But the Zankov govern
ment stands like guardian angel at
its post and prevents the collapse OF
Bulgaria. Thus the band of murderers
who, in the interests of a handful Of
bankers and spectators is terrorizing
whole people and physically ex-
terminating the most self-conscious
and active part Of the people, are try
ing In the light of this document
to represent themselves as a group Of
self-sacrifcing heroes" and ''saviors
OF the country" In this way they OBJ
tain: exculpation of the crimes they
have committed, a free hand for
further shedding of blood, the conces-
sion to increase their army and, as
the result Of all this-a temporary
strengthening of their power. Is not
the political success Of this ezinoviev
letter" sufficient to encourage the
zankov band to manufacture similar
documents" in future?
HOWEVER important this sue
= cess" may be, it will not enable
the Sofia leeches to establish their
power for long. A large dose is not
always the most helpful. When the
government 'resorted to this monstrous
forgery, it was only because it's situa-
ton was desperate, hopeless and that
heroic means were needed to save It.
We are firmly convinced that the
masses and the Communist Party will
preserve their self-control In the face
of the devilish attempts Of the bands
of provocatory agents, whose power
is shaken to its foundations. In the
atmosphere of blood and forgery
which the government creates and the
general discomfort, to which it gives
rise, as well as in the defensive Of
the working masses, the bands of
murderers will soon be exterminated.
