Especial Cable to DAILY wORKER)


MOSCOW, Dec. 19.--Forged ar
ticles alleged to have been signed by
Stain were circulated by the New
York American, the Wide World News
Agency in an effort Ito undermine
the effect obtained by the Soviet
Unions delegation to Geneva which
proposed complete disarmament" ac-
cording to statement by Joseph Sta
lin, Secretary OF the All Union Com
munist Party, in this mornings press.
The text Of Stalin's statement fol-
lows in full:
1T is hardly necessary to actually
refute the forgers from the New
York American, Wide World News
Agency or Anglo-American News
paper Service, circulating all kinds of
tales III the shape of unexisting
Stains articles on air forces of the
U. S. S. r., on reconciliation of the
Soviet Power with orthodox church,
on return to capitalists of 'oil prop
critics in the U. S. S. r., etc.
Refute Themselves.

as the gentlemen exposed themselves
in the press as professional forgers
living on the small forgeries.
1T is sufficient to look through the
explanations these gentlemen re-
Gently gave the press in an effort to
Justify their swindles, to realize that
we have to deal not with Representa-
lives of the press, but with brigands
OF the pen" However in response to
the inquiry of press representatives,
| am willing to declare: 81 never in
my life have seen any Herman Gott-
the foreign press alleged to have in
terviewed me. Within the last twelve
months | have not given an interview
to either these gentlemen or any
other representative of the foreign
press. l made no speech either at
the 'Presidium of the Moscow Soviet
or at the Moscow Committee of the
Party on returning oil properties in
the U. S. S. r. to Capitalists nor on
the orthodox church, nor on the air
forces of the U. S. S. R., have given
no articles or notes in this spirit to
the press.
Deceive Readers.
"The gentlemen from the New York
American, the Wide World News, the
Anglo-American Newspaper Service,
deceived readers assuring them that
fake Stains article We're unrefuted
by Moscow in due time. The forged
articles on air forces of the U. S. S.
Z. and on reconciliation with the
orthodox church became known in
Moscow at the end of November,
1927. They were Immediately dis
closed by the Peoples Commissariat
Of Foreign Affairs as a forgery and
this was communicated to Mr.. Res
wick, representative of the Associa-
ted Press in Moscow.
Denies Stories.
Accordingly Reswick Immediately
sent the following cable on the 1st of
December to the Associated Press:
Today it was stated to me in the
Peoples Commissariat of Foreign At
fairs that the question is being seri-
ously considered here of starting
prosecution in New York against the
newspaper New York American and
generally the Hearst press with the
view to stopping the circulation of
articles signed Stain The author
tiles particularly objected to a note
which appeared in the New York
American of the 9th of November,
headlined Converting the Church to
Support Soviet which allegedly is
Stalin's secret report to a meeting of
the Moscow Presidium. Authorities
here indicate that the article is the
purest fiction.-Signed Reswick, LIST
of December, 1927"
Suppress Denial.
"Was this telegram published, and
if not, why not? Was it not because
publication of Reswick's cable would
have undermined the sources of
revenue of Mr.. Kord on the American
Hungarian or Hungarian American
question? This is not the first time
the New York American has been en-
deavouring to make money by forg-
ing unexisting interviews and ar
ticles' of Stains. For instance, l
know that in June 1927 the New York
American published forged Stains
interview with a Cecil Winchester
about rupture with Britain about
abandoning world revolution, about
raid on ARGOS, etc. The Argus Clip
pings Bureau in that reference sent
me then proposition that should
confirm the authenticity of the inter
view and become the Bureaus client.
Cables DAILY WORKER.
Having no doubt that they had to
do with the swindle, then i'm
mediately forwarded to the New York
DAILY WORKER the following
denial:
"Dear Comrades,
"The Argus Clippings Bureau
sent me a clipping from the paper,
the New York American, of the
18th of June, 1927, with an inter-
