Political fighting in Washington,
which began when Governor Hartley
undertook his promised house-clean-
ing, has jumped the republican lines
and is in the free-for-all stage. It
seems that everybody is either in it
or rolling up sleeves to get into it.
In fact the situation would tickle the
scrappy Irishman who, as the story
goes. saw a fight and eagerly asked:
as this a private fight or can any,
body get into il? 2" Our Irish friend
would find that the rumpus that
started within the republican party
is no longer private fight.

say there is more political turmoil

praise or blame, as you wish. Any

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R. (By MaiD -
The general meeting of the manual
and office workers of the "Krassny
Mayak" (Moscow) Printing Works
makes the following declaration:
Events developing now in Great Brit
ain are a blow against British i'm
perialism and it's predatory aims. The
British proletariat has taken up the
struggle against its bourgeoisie.
Because Of our whole-hearted soli-
darity with the British comrades now
on strike and mindful of the support
they gave us during the dreadful years
of blockade, we consider it essential
to give material help to our comrades
by deducting 1 per cent of our earn
ings for their benefit.
We congratulate particularly our
British fellow-workers in the printing
trades who, having joined the general
struggle, refuse to print newspapers
hostile to the strike.
We assure our brothers beyond the
border that the struggle for the prole-
tartan press. at present in the hands
of the British bourgeoisie, can only be
carried on by the methods employed
in our country. 1t is only by these
methods that the proletarian press
will triumph over it's enemies. We
call upon our British fellow-workers
in the printing trade and upon the en-
tire British working class to follow
our example.

APPEAL NAILS
FRENCH LIES
Says Christians Killed by
Inperialists
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)

NEW YORK, June %. Sultan
Pasha Attrache, signing himself,
Leader of the Armies of the Syrian
National Revolution has made an
appeal to the American people,"
which has been given wide publicity
here.
The statement sets forth clearly the
aims Of the Syrians in their struggle
for national independence and denies
categorically the propaganda of the
French. government that war is being
made on christians as such. The re-
volt, says the statement, is the result
of French atrocities which became
intolerable;
Druse Statement.
The statement is as follows:
I'VE beg to state that we have heard
that some newspapers in the hire of
our enemies are fabricating ground
less news about our Syrian national
revolution.
1.-THE allegations that we are wag-
ing was against the christians in our
beloved Syria are false, and every
fairminded man in the occident should
be told, SO. Our revolt is the result OF
atrocities committed by French colo
nizing agents who have violated the
sacred rights of our country.
zone among the evils our enc
mics have recently perpetrated in our
country is that of distributing arms to
christian Syrians to be used to fight
us. AS a result, some Of our christ
ian brethren lost their heads and be-
gan attacking our army which was
following the enemy.
Christians Killed by French.
1--WE are innocent of the christian
blood that has been shed, because we
did not attack the christians, but they
have been killed, figuratively speak
ing, by the very arms they received
from the French government, and
with which they have killed their
brethren who have risen to liberate
the country in which we all live.
Make No Creed Distinctions.
Therefore we pray you to take note
and inform your countrymen and all
those christians and others, who hear
your great voice that their good is our
good, their misfortunes our misfor-
tunes. We make no distinction in re-
ligions or sects, as our only aim is to
obtain our legal rights, which belong
equally to the sons of Syria, whatso-
ever they may be.
1--WE have been, we still are, and
shall be careful to guard the rights
and secarity of all. We don't wish to
interfere with ony one who does not
expose himself in opposition to our
army fighting with our enemies. We
wish to avoid all acts that might touch
the feelings of natives or foreigners
in Syria, with the exception of those
who show us hostility or who become
spies against us.
'1n closing, we hope and pray for
the sympathy of the American people
for our cause, begging that we may
not be excluded from the assistance OF
the good men of America.
