Incidentally, he declared that there
were no liberties in Russia, such as
liberty of the press, liberty of speech,
and so on. He praised the fascist
party, whom he claimed to be taking
care of the working class and extend
Dg liberty to all elements of the popu-
lation.
He spoke for over an hour, indulg-
ing in open pro-fascist propaganda. 1t
is even said that the captain and the
consul were hanging around the club

T ESS worried are the Turks, as it
IL may be judged from the follow
ing report:
"In the port was one freight steamer,
Sadyk Zade.' The ships crew, judg-
ing by conversations with both the
crew and the officers, are devoted to
Renal Pasha and to the cause Of ma
tional emancipation. They say: 'Lenin
has saved Russia from perdition; Mus
tapha Renal has saved Turkey

bid crews, on pain of discnarge and
arrest, to visit the International Sea-

among the crews to watcn them, and
compel the officers aboard the ships
to do the work of police supervision
over their crews. Finally, even higher
placed individuals are drawn upon to
do this work. as it may be seen from
the following communication:

less, deals a blow at the nationwide

Vanzetti and at the proposed national

BY WILLIAM r, dunno.

ONE of the indications Of growing
~ left wing movement. part Of it
inside and part outside the trade
unions, has been the tremendous mass
support for Sacco and Vanzetti.
This case has been neglected shame
fully by the officialdom of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. 1t has con-
fined it's activities to the passing Of
formal resolutions, which, while ask
ing for a new trial, expressed no opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of
these workers.
TT is obvious that had labor official
4 dom pressed the issue honestly and
militantly it would have been impos-
sible for the Massachusetts govern
ment with flendish cruelty to drag
out this case for five years without
giving these innocent workers new
trial.
The Sacco Vanzetti committee
proper has always been unable to or
ganize any broad mass support for the
defense of the accused men. 1t was
not until the International Labor De-
Tense took up the case that the sup
port took on real mass character.
DIG mass meetings were held thru
- out the country, demonstrations
took place before the American con-
sulates in the principal foreign CAPT
tails, dozens Of prominent trade union
leaders and public men of. all shades
of opinion turnout the world sent pro-
tests to Governor Fuller.
Sacco-Vanzetti conferences have
been organized and preparations are
being made for huge national con-
ference to be held In New York after
the first Of the year.
| The International Labor Defense, a
non partisan organization for the de-
Tense of all class of war prisoners, in
which Communists are, of course, ac-
tive, can be said with truth to have
saved the lives Of Sacco and Vanzetti
ION the heels Of the drive against
" the Communists and the left wing
in the unions comes the following
statement sent out by the press ser
vice of the "Sacco-vanzetti Defence
Committee" 1t is addressed; To
Whom 1t May Concern:
The defense committee is con-
stantIy questioned as to the reIa-
tionship existing between the Sacco-
Vanzettl Defense Committee with
the international Labor Defense, the
Communist Party, and the so-ealled
Saeeo-Vanzetti conferences, because
of their propaganda and collection
of funds made In the name of Sacco
and Vanzetti.
This committee specifically states
that the saeeo-Vanzetti Defense
Committee has no official relation
ship with the International Labor
Defense, the Communist Party, or
the Sacco-VanzettI conferences,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-12-19

which we understand were organ
lied thru the international Labor
Defense.
We wish further to state that the
defense committee has repeatedly
urged them, since the international
Labor Defense began to raise funds
in the name of Sacco and Vanzetti,
to send accounts Of their activities
and also accounts Of the various
Sacco-Vanzetti conferences. To
date we received no satisfactory re-
plies to our many letters regarding
the purpose Of the aforementioned
organizations, or an accurate &C
count of funds received and dis
bursed by them. We have been
given to understand by the Inter
national Labor Defense that there
are a number of Saeco-Vanzetti con-
ferences thruout the country from
which we have never received any
report: This was the reason why
the committee has repeatedly ad-
vised friends Of the Saeeo-VanzettI
case to communicate directly with
this office. FraternalIy yours,
SACCQVANZETTI DEFENSE
COMMITTEE.

IF the impression of Soviet ports
L gained by seamen coming from free
and democratic ountries-Brittshers
Frenchmen, Americans-is good, there
is no need to dwell on the Impressions
OF seamen coming from countries
where fascism and white terror hold
sway. Suffice it to quote the letter
written by an Italian seaman about
the same period as the foregoing let
tiers:
During my stay in the Soviet port
have visited schools. clubs, children's
homes, rest homes for workers and
peasants; have spoken to workers
both in the party and outside, and l
have come to the conclusion that dis
orders, famine, ETC., exist only in the
venomous fancy of the bribed Journal
lists of Italy.
ION the contrary, in the U. S. S. r.
there is perfect order everywhere: in
the system of production, in hygiene,
in popular education, and in all social,
political and trade union relations.
The means OF production and ex-
change, the mines and the factories,
tho land and the houses, constitute the
collective property Of the whole OF
the revolutionary working class.

the bourgeois villas have been turned

In seeing this a thought of the brutal
manner in which we, the Italian sea-
men, are exploited by the ship own
ers.
Comrades, let us unmask the lying
bourgeois press and let us shout the
truth to the whole world, the truth
emanating from Russian: everything

sites! Long live Soviet Russia! Long
live the Third International! Long
live the world proletarian revolution!

How About state Censorship

Gould then reminds Johnston that
he apparently has little faith in his
own country, as the picture was passed
by the New York state board OF CEN
sorship, that even the u. S. state de-
partment was asked to pass on the
film, and did "Your position is ludic-
.rous and even misleading when you
condemn 'Potemkin' by making few
rhetorical passes at It and think you
have completely disposed OF the mat
ter to the satisfaction of all thinking
people, without presenting thoro ex-
animation Of the facts he wrote.
is a "Money-Getter"
In attacking Johnston's warning"
to exhibitors that the picture is not
good "box office" material, Gould calls
his attention to the fact that II has
been hugely successful from the box
office standpoint in Germany, Spain,
Holland, Norway, Sweden, Hungary,
all the countries in South America,
Mexico, India, ETC., and that II played
in 81 houses in Berlin at one time, and
is still playing there after six months,
Gould also calls his attention to the
fact that remarkable array OF
tributes have been paid to "Potemkin

The New Drive On Militant Trade Unionism

Saccos and Vanzetti to the electric
chair by sabotaging their chief sup
port in order to do something they
think will damage the Communists
and the left wing.
Undoubtedly these elements have
prevailed upon the Sacco-Vanzetti
committee, by threats of withdrawal
of the Official support which has been
so weak and grudgingly given, to issue
such statement. 1t is almost like
signing the death warrant of Sacco
and Vanzetti.
HERE is a concrete example of what
IL it means to the labor movement
when the self-styled Committee for
the Preservation Of the Trade Unions
puts into practice its slogan of:
The labor movement shall lend no
assistance to any undertaking which
directly or indirectly shall include
the Communists. It shall be war to
their finish.
But it is not war ito their finish
meaning the Communists. In this
particular case it will mean the finish
of Sacco and Vanzetti if the masses
Of workers are fooled or coerced into
lassivity by this drive of reaction.
TO the strikes of furriers, textile
l. workers and cloakmakers, men,
toned in previous article, we can
id the great protest movement for
aceo and Vanzetti, likewise organ
! .zed and led by Communists and left
wingers, as one of the examples of
rank and file militancy which is in
direct contradiction to the worker
employer cooperation policy of office
holders.
AS this is written news comes of
the action Of the general executive
board Of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers, headed by President
Sigman, declaring the rs weeks
strike of cloakmakers illegal, vacating
the offices held by members of the
New York Joint Board, regularly elect
ed by the membership; vacating the
offices held by members Of local union
boards who support the left wing and
appointing hand-picked committees to
take their places.
THIS action in the face OF the mass
L support OF the New York Joint
Board, elected as a result of mem
bership revolt against right wing poll
cies and tactics, is accompanied by an
onslaught on a parade of the rank and
file by police and gangsters.
Such occurrences as these, having a
strong fascist character, can result
only from the application of policy
which finds powerful support, not only
in trade union circles, but from the
capitalists and their press and from
the socialist press.
The united front Of these elements
against the workers who are fighting
for militant unionism can be shown tc
exist beyond reasonable doubt. Theil
own utterances convict them.

being made to unravel the wood OF

film Potemkin.'
Must Fear Annlhiiation.
"Your usual devotion to the screen,
your worship OF the box Office fetish
and your fanatic zeal for the protec-
ton of the poor exhibitor is included
in one sweeping gesture in the more
important and pressing duties you
have suddenly found for yourself in
saving thus our great. American re-
public from imminent and complete
humiliation by the Broadway presen-
tation Of the invidious Russian film,"
he continued.
Can't Fool Johnston.
"They can't fool you, Mr.. Johnston,
these clever bolshevist plotters," Gould
tells him. you've got them to rights.
Your brilliant insight has penetrated
into the core of their sinister designs
and you can see quite clearly a we'll
designed plan in 'Potemkin' to under
mine the foundations OF our country,
besides impregnating the legions OF
movie-goers with the virus OF Com
munism. SO you have appointed your
self a guardian OF our political moral
ity and big brother to the exhib-
itors, warning them away from tho
pestiiential 'Potsmkin'."1

Soviet Movie Critic Played
Is Jealous of Communists.

Gould suggests that perhaps one rea-
son for Johnston's opposition to the
picture is that he is jealous of the
Russian movie producers.
He says; when a film like Po-
temkin' comes along blazing with vi
tally and refusing to record history
in the hokumized. lovey-dovey manner
of some OF our pseudo-historical films,
making them look pretty-pretty and.
dead as dodos, your cinema chauvin-
ism rises in your gorge and you can't
stand the thought that some damn
Communist should be able with his
second motion picture effort to cap
ture the real, underlying elements Of
cinema construction and show up the
Hollywood products as things made to
order and according to formulate"
Should Get Fascist Pay.
In closing, Gould takes this parting
shot: Meanwhile I am recommend
ing your worthy journal to the sub
sldy department OF the National Sc
curity League. After reading your
editorial illumination on Potemkin'
they may consider Its propaganda
value for Americanizing Americans
more vital and important than just
heralding forthcoming screen events"
