The Anniversary of the Commune
THE 55th anniversary Of the Paris

THE 55th anniversary Of the Paris
4 Commune. March, 1926.
What does it mean for the working
class? Why should all workers re-
member it and join in the mass
demonstration on Friday, March 18th.
at the Ashland Boulevard Auditorium?
Why does the international Labor De-
Tense call on all workers to commem-
crate the Commune?
First and most important, because
the Paris Commune, tho suffering a
bloody defeat, nevertheless gave the
signal for all working class victories
that followed. From the mistakes Of
the French workers In their attempt
at self-government were garnered
lessons that helped make the Russian
Revolution triumph. The necessity of
overthrowing the entire bourgeois
state, its bureaucracy and its army
was made apparent; and, likewise,
the need for an alliance between
workers and the peasantry. Thus,
the Paris Commune raised the stand

ard of workers state; tho this ban
ner fell, it was raised again by the
Russian Communists and is being car
ried on, unfurled before the world
Secondly, the Paris Commune dem
onstrated dramatically how enemy
states will drop their own differences
when the existence of either is threat
ened by the working class. French
and German bourgeois and soldier
hirelings united for a wholesale mas
sacre Of workers, despite the antagon-
isms war had just created between
them.
Thirdly, the Paris Commune is COM
memorated by the International La
Dor Defense because this organization
helps all prosecuted workers, because
it protests against all abuses of po-
litical power. Therefore it calls on
workers of all natlonalities to rally to
defend their class when 1t is attacked.

(sy Federated Press.)

CHARGES that the American press 10

League, an organization with
branches In Brazil, Venezuela, colom-
bla, Ecuador, Mexico, Porto Rico and

II was the American representative
on the Mexican claims commission
and not the neutral Brazilian chair
man that broke up the negotiations on
claims for damages to Americans dur
ing the Mexican troubles, the league
secretary, Manuel Gomez, asserts. The
polnt at issue was whether damages
ehould be allowed because Of the de-
predations of the late Pancho Villa.
The United States claimed that Villa
was a de facto revolutionary leader.
Mexico claimed he was a bandit. II

American Commissioner BaIks.
The neutral Brazilian decided that
villa was bandit. The American
commissioner refused to accept this
decision and the session broke up, the
league relates. Now the American
press is spreading the propaganda
falsehood that the Brazilian refused
TO proceed and that the claims arising
out Of the Villa episodes remain un-
settled. This is being used to whip
up sentiment for intervention in
Mexico But it rests on lie, the
league points out, because the claims
have been settled, strictly according
to accepted procedure, having been
rated as worth nothing under the
bandit decision.
The league appeals to American
workers to protest to Secretary Of
States Kellogg against the drift to-
ward war.

TRUMBULL WILL
SPEAK TO NEGRO
WORKERS SUNDAY

Walter Trumbull, young ex-soldier
who has just been released from
Alcatraz military prison, where he
served a year for organizing a Com
munist League In Hawaii, will speak
this Sunday night, at the Metropolitan
Community Center, BIB Giles Ave.
The meeting is to be held under the
auspices Of the Negro Anti-Imperialist
Association.
The slogan raised for this meeting
is: Free Hawaii, Morocco, Liberia,
and all colonies and semi-colonies now
exploited by the imperialists!
Trumbull, who was stationed at a
post in Hawaii at the time of his
arrest, had opportunity to see the eff
feet Of American imperialist rule on
the working class Of the island. Labor
ers receive only s1.05 a day for the
hardest kind of labor. Their homes
are poor, their working conditions ex-
tremely bad. Their strikes are put
down ruthlessly.
The segregation Of all Negroes who
were drafted into the army during
the world war was a sore point with
the race, and opened the eyes Of many
colored workers to the real nature of
American rule and the real meaning
Of the war. They were forced to do
the dirty and disgusting work in the
army and none were allowed in the
more skilled arms of the service. Ar
irving in France, they found that the
general of the American army, Per-
shing, had instructed French officers
and troops not to associate much with
the American Negro soldiers, on the
ground that this would give them
wrong ideas Of equality" Back in the
United States, the Negro found him
self once more segregated, jim-crowed
and lynched.
Trumbull will tell Of his experiences
in Hawaii and in the army generally.
Negro and Japanese speakers will also
address the meeting.
