questions regarding the British work
ers, and how impressive the difference
was between the figure of this man.
as outlined by the bourgeois press, and
its reality. l no longer remember our
entire conversation, but / will never
forget the quiet clarity of this man,
who filled everyone with confidence in
him, who had suffered much, and who
marched steadfastly towards the goal,
from which nothing could divert him.
During his life he was known to
millions of workers as one of their
great leaders in their fight for free
dom. After his death still more mil
lions will learn of his life, full of self
sacrificing Revolutionary struggle.
You have done much, comrade! You
have fought the great battle and died
at your post. We will feel your alb
sence grievously, comrade, but the
great party which you helped build up
and the even greater International of
which this party is part, will con-
tinue your work, and in their even
greater victories you will also play
big part.

MANY in the ranks OF the world rev
AFA dictionary proletariat will be
shaken to learn that our great com
rades life has come to an end. His
very name reminds us all Of the diff

mighty role in it. And he did his hard
and honorable work, while the bour-
geoisie of the whole world covered his
name with dirty SANDER.
The period of the civil war, in which
he was the leader of the Cheka, has
stamped itself most deeply into the
memory of the workers enemies. In
the West this Commission was de-

the following enlightening comment
on this first proposal of the Bacon
Bill in its issue for June:
1t is significant in connection with
the introduction of the Bacon Bill
that just about a year ago the U.
S. department of commerce made
public report entitled, "Possibili-
ties for Para Rubber Production in

lie for September, 1925, contained a
full account of that report, which in

BY WILLIAM F. DUNNE.
THE tour of inspection in the Philip
pines by Colonel Carmi Thompson
the personal representative of Presi
dent Coolidge, the Introduction Of the
Bacon bill in the house of representa-
tives, the publicity given to the state
ments of Harvey Firestone relative to
the possibility of certain districts OF
the islands being used for the develop
ment of raw rubber production, the
controversy over the policy of Govern
or-General Leonard Wood, have TO-
cused the attention of large numbers
of the American people upon the ques-
ton of Filipino independence.
d ECENT developments in the Philip
~ pines and in Washington need to
be understood in the light of the grow
ing strength of American imperialism,
the sharpening of the struggle, par
ticularly with Great Britain as a result
of this, and the growing importance
of the Pacific area as field of iNpe-
rialist enterprise bringing with it the
menace of imperialist war.
