The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-02-17

We are indebted to the Chicago Tribune for the
news that $4,000 has been appropriated by the
Communist international for propaganda work in
the United States.
We would be much more cheerful because of this
unexpected solution of our serious financial diff
fculties if the contents of the alleged letter pub
lished by The Tribune, in which the news is con-
veyed, did not contain about as complete contra
diction of the party program as could be written.
The "Zinoviev letter." published by the British
imperialist press, was clumsy forgery, but the
material furnished the Tribunes Berlin correspon-
dent by some police spy is far below even the low
standard Of forgeries set by this discredited efu
sion.
In addition to the abYsmal ignorance of the pol
icy of the Communist international and the Work
ers (Communist) Party Of America displayed by
almost every sentence there is one other thing that
brands this Tribune story as part of the world
wide business now being done in futile and silly
forgeries of Communist correspondence. This is
the use of the name of Stoklitsky one of those
who will handle the appropriation Stoklitsky has
not been connected with the American Communist
Party for four years has he been in the United
States for that length of time Neither is he con
nected with the Communist International.
Much to our regret we must swallow our disap-
pointment and continue to get money for the sup
port of the DAILY WORKER and the Workers
(Communist) Party Of America from the American
workers who see in the Communist program the
only method by which the working class can con-
quer capitalism.

American Gold Goes to Russia

In view of the current fabrications of coolies of
Russian Soviet gold" being sent to America to
start the truly periodical uprising, appearing in
our well-known and most reliable capitalist
periodicals, we think the quotation below, given
verbatim from the pen of a capitalist financial
writer, shows how the gold is moving 1t says:
Not the least puzzline phase Of the current gold
movement, which Is approaching the 100000
900 total since last Dec l. is the amount Of purchases
by Russia
Some light thrown the proposition, how
ever, by a banker who has long been conversant
with Russian activities. About three-quarters Of the
gold shipped to London and marked for reshipment,
he said, was destined for Russia, only quarter Of
the total going to India, Holland, Sweden Ger
many.
The bulk Of the Russian takinas have represented
little than the conversion of profits into terms
of gold. The newborn Russian textile Industry he
said, one Of the phenomena of 1924
Its profits were very real, and with great need
at the present for such credits in New York. the Rus
sian textile operators have called for their transfer
in gold to Russia. aaa
considerable portion Of the gold shipped there
recently, he believed, could be attributed to this
operation.
In case the humor of the situation does not
strike you at first, it. should be noted that the
above story Of American gold being sent to Soviet
Russia is taken out of the same Chicago capitalist
newspaper, which published the canard about the
Bolsheviks sending $4,000 in gold to American
Communists 9~,9
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-02-17

The manner in which the rank and file members
of the labor movement in Minneapolis and Seattle
are rallying to the support of the Communist and
repudiating the action of the petty trade union
functionaries is worrying the labor fakers but is
a source of Joy to every worker who has faith in
and hope for the working class
1t is the rank and file that know the Communists,
their program and their work best. What the
masses think of is almportant and in the bitter
struggles in the central labor councils as well as
in the individual unions where the tools of cap
italism are warning on us, it is matter of record
now that we have met this test
We have shown the takers that we know how to
fight and the rank and file that we know for what
to fight.
The fact that the workers who support the Com
munist program increase in number daily in spite
of all reaction can do is proof that are John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation Of
Labor admitted in an unguarded moment the other
day, fighting on fundamental issues.

Japl,aun's Jobless Millions

Dispatches report 100000 unemployed in
Japan. This is almost double the number of regis
tered jobless in Great Britain. If the figures are
correct, something Of worldwide Significance is
going to occur very soon in that little chain of
islands in the Pacific that with Korea, make up the
japanese empire
The source of most of the pressure that forced
the recognition and trade treaty with Russia is
well shown in these figures. We remarked few
days ago that Soviet Russia could well afford to
give concessions for OIL iron and coal in the lower
half Of Saghalin island to the japanese rulers
because Of the knowledge that these rulers are go
ing to be replaced by others within short space
of time as history measures it.
3,400,O0O unemployed in Japan means that the
basis for revolution has been laid. To
