famine proved boomerang and won
sympathy from these same masses
instead of blame.
Distortion of inner differences of
opinion in the government and rul-
ing party were dished up so often
that they We're no longer good news"
even in a capitalist sense. Of late
the opposition's pessimistic onslaught
revived this subject, but its effect
iveness was weakened by earlier ex-
aggeration of this theme. The pris-
on atrocity yarns have already been
mentioned, and now the "bezpres-
horni"!
To Dim The Sight.
One after another these gas
screens were thrown up to prevent
the workers from seeing what is
really being accomplished in Soviet
Russia. One after another these
screens are blown away by the re-
ports of the workers delegations and
by the many thousands of visitors
Social Democrats, Liberals, and even
reactionaries-to say nothing of
Communists who after helping for
time in the building of Socialism in
Russia return to their homelands to
bring home to their fellowworkers
the truth about the workers repub-
lie and the necessity and method of
duplicating its achievements through
out the world
To Stop Recognition.
Coming at this time this campaign
represents nothing else than an at
tempt to fight the rapidly approach
ing Russian recognition by the U. S.
A., an attempt undertaken in the SER
ice of the most reactionary elements
a America. A significant united
front has been built up on this battle
line-the most hardshelI of the CAPT
talists, the lowest Of the venal capt.
taIist press plus the Right wing of
the A. f. of l.. bureaucracy and the
Social Democrats This is precisely
as it is throughout Europe, and while
It proves that the S. p. has quite
come of age, we can be sure that its
efforts to hold back the workers will
help very little.
One Of the features of the fairy
tale campaign now going on in Amer
lean newspapers and other avenues
of publicity deals with an alleged
proposal to exile delinquent waits to
an Arctic island north of Murmansk.
This story originates from dispatch
bv II. N. Knickerbocker some time
last autumn, and it has been going
the rounds of American newspapers
and lecture platforms ever since. The
alleged source being given in
quired as to the truth Of the story
and here is the reply from Comrade
Egorox, chief of the Administrative
Department of the Leningrad Soviet:

and Which deal with the situation of
the homeless children in the U. S. S.
r., ! consider the following should

First, in the dispatch it is stated:
"Comrade Egorov, Chief of the Adj
illustrative Department Of the Len
ingrad Soviet, proposed to that body
that the more vicious Of the homeless
children should be shipped off to the
uninhabited island of Kilbin, in the
Arctic Ocean, whence they could not
escape. This suggestion fol-
lowed the mutiny in Children's Home
No. 81, in which one of the woman
attendants was killed, and another
educator had his skull fractured"
Sheer Falsehood.
