TNHE denial of the motion for new
trial for Sacco and Vanzetti by the
supreme court of Massachusetts tends
TO confirm the growing belief of labor
that Justice in our country is not i'm
partial.
Personally, | have no doubt of the
innocence of Sacco and Vanzetti. But
if there are any who are in doubt as
to their innocence. they are at least
as much in doubt as to their guilt.
With Mooney and Billings still in jail,
to which they were sent on testimony
now universally conceded to have
been periured, and with much of the
testimony in the Sacco and Vanzetti
case not free from suspicion of per
jury, justice indeed demanded the
granting of new trial.
If the injustice done to Mooney and
Billings is not to be repeated in this
case. labor, particularly organized la
Dor, must raise its mighty voice in
protest.

Especial to The Daily Worker


PLYMOUTH, England, May a.
Charles Edward Russell, once socialist
candidate for governor of the state Of
New York and a number of years ago
prominent in the socialist party in the
United States, but who left that party
during the war and became an ardent
supporter of Woodrow Wilson and his
imperialst policies, was today denied
permission to land here from the
steamship President Roosevelt.
Russell was in England during the
war as. member of the United States
commission on public information.
which was sent in order to carry on
imperialist propaganda among the
workers of Britain by telling yarns
about the great achievements of the
workers of the United States in the
conduct of the war and was then well
coined by the government.
Motive Not Revealed.
The motive for barring Russell was
not revealed. but it was understood
that it was on account of his radical
writings immigration officials who
came on board the ship told Russell
that they were under instructions from
Sir William Joynson Hicks not to
permit him to land in Great Britain,
but they gave no reason other than
that they were enforcing the com
mands of the home secretary.
It is thought that Hicks is still suf-
fering from a severe case of hysteria
as the result of the British strike and
therefore issued orders to exclude
even the palest of pinks.
