Soviet Russia After Ten Years
Report of the American Trade Union Delegation to R

i'll international relations makes it impossible
to cite precise analogy, it seems fair to say
that in ordinary circumstances it would be
closely equivalent to a challenge to war. AL
most Immediately following this raid on the
Russian trade delegation came the murder of
Voikoff, the Russian Ambassador to Poland.
All this was interpreted by the Russians as
part Of an attempt by Great Britain to destroy
their government because Of its Communistic
principles and because of the stimulus which
Russian Communism was giving to the ma
tionalistic movements of China and India in
their attempt to throw off British control.
Other menacing circumstances have convinced
he Communists that England is trying to
stir up internal rebellion. Documents dis
covered show that the British government has
0een giving a liberal money grant to the Skor-
opadski group, located in Warsaw and Paris,
which claims to be the national government
If the Ukraine This was the government set
up in the Ukraine by the Germans when they
invaded that section early in 1918, and which
eft with the Germans when the latter with
lrew in that year. The Communists also
maintain that they discovered during the Win
.er plots to assassinate RykOv, Stain and
3ukharin, and that these plots were instigated
by English agents. They maintain that some
If the twenty whom they executed were in
he pay of England and that their executions
we're intended as an answer to this plotting.
Since the full documents in these cases have
not been published, it is impossible to tell how
correct these charges are. Subsequently,
however, over twenty more persons were ar
.ested and several of them, including an Eng
ish agent, Guyer, confessed to be plotting
,gainst the Russian government. All this,
ogether with the threatening statements Of
certain British ministers in parliament and

such other evidence as the intercepted letter
from the British Consul Preston in Leningrad,
indicates that Great Britain has her agents in
Russia who are at the very least gathering
such information as they can
The Russians point out that such plots are
not new, as evidenced by the previous activi-
ties of Paul Dukes, who was subsequently
knighted by the British government, and of
Captain Riley, both of whom were cOnfessedly
British spies. The former was not captured
by the Russians but the latter was captured
in 1925 when he attempted to cross the Rus
sian border in disguise 1t is also recalled
that Captain Lockhart, the head Of the Bri-
fish mission to Russia, plotted in 1918 to kid
nap the entire Council of Peoples Commits
sars, although his country was not at war
with Russia No similar plot, we believe, has
been made in modern times against a people
by any representative of a supposedly friend
y country.
Nor shall it be forgotten that the Allies sup
ported the various attempts at armed inter
vention during the years from 1918 to 1921.
British money and munitions aided Denikin
and Wrangel, the counter-revolutionary lead
ers. British and American troops waged war
in 1918 in the Archangel district against the
Russian government. Allied aid was given
to the Czecho-Slovak forces, which created
havoc as they marched eastward in their sup
posed attempt to get to the western front.
Allied munitions and allied troops were fur
rished to Admiral Kolchak for his invasion of
Siberia and of eastern Russia. Yudenitch's
drive along the Baltic, which came within II
miles of Leningrad, was also supported by GER
tain of the Allies, as were most of the inter-
vention armies which tried to conquer the
Ukraine Denikin and Wrangel were not only
largely equipped by the Allies, but were direct

IT the New York Times believes its
1 own dispatches it must have a
great job figuring out who is winning
in the counter revolutionary struggle
begun by Generals Gomez and Sar-
rano against the Gales government
in Mexico.
AS matter Of fact, the counter
revolution was still-born. General
Sarrano was caught and executed.
The counter-revolutionary hosts failed
to materialize. The few battalions of
misguided soldiers who We're led out
of Mexico City by General Armada
had a quick change of heart, and
General Gomez was forced to sneak
away with handful of followers
through the mountains of Vera Cruz.
All this was duly reported in the
New York Times. But the Times is
open-minded. 1t prints contrary YER
sions as well. For instance, in it's
issue of Thursday it gives space to
a long alleged news story, with
wealth of detail, series of defeats
suffered by federal forces.
The dispatch, which does not come
from any place in Mexico but from
San Antonio, Texas, refers to "the
arrival Of carloads of wounded fed
eral soldiers in Mexico City and
Puebla, together with the wounding
of General Gonzalo Escobar, COM
mander of the federal troops in pur-
suit of the rebels, and the RE-
PORTED complete dispersal of the

United States TO
Participate in
Meet With Soviet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. - The
United States government is to par
ticipate in the Geneva conference on
disarmament. The Soviet government
has agreed to participate in the con-
ference. When asked regarding its
attitude toward attending a confer
ence at which the Soviet Union was
represented the state department Of
ficials stated that the government was
indifferent to the matter.
Last year the government refused
to sit at conference table with Great
Britain and Japan on the question Of
Alaskan seals because representatives
of the Soviet Union were present.

Especial Cable to Daily WOrker)
MOSCOW, Nov. 3.-Having re-
turned from a trip to the Caucasus,
Henri Barbusse, well known French
novelist, branded the tales of alleged
terrorism" by the Red Army in
Georgia as "caumnies spread by the
bourgeois press"
He said that he had talked to many
political prisoners in the Tiflis jail
and that all of them had denied that
they had ever been tortured or i'll
treated.
Barbusse declared that he had an
ample opportunity to observe the
progress made in the Transcaucasian
republics under the Soviet regime,
which, he declared gives the repub-
lies fullest autonomy and facilitates
their economic and cultural develop
ment.

Mexican News made in
San Antonio, Texas"

acitizens of Mexico City to lose faith
in the bulletin issued by General Jose
Alvarez, chief of the Presidential
staff.
The above lines contain not one
word of truth; they cause one to lose
faith, not in Mexico City, but in the
New York Times.
Dispatches about facts in Mexico
emanating from San Antonio, Texas,
are not new. For many years-ever
since the United States became
base for conference.-the in Mex
ico-San Antonio has been the seat
of a iunta of reactionary ex-person-
ages, who establish themselves close
to the Mexican border in order to
conduct nter-revolutionary plot
ting as near to Mexico itself as they
dare to go.
San Antonio is to Mexican news
what Riga is to news about the
Soviet Union. To anyone familiar
with the Mexican situation the New
York Times dispatch would bear the
stamp "made in San Antonio" even
if it did not carry the San Antonio
dateline, which, obligingly, it does.
The counter-revolution in Mexico
has been crushed 1t has not been
crushed permanently, however, be-
cause of its strong base Of support in
American imperialism. The Mexican
people must remain on guard. There
will be new attempts at revolts be-
fore counter revolution is finally
made impossible. One thing is cer-
tain, however, authentic news of them
will not come from San Antonio.

ESTABLISHMENT
OF 7-HOUR DAY
Pledge to Defend USSR

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., (By MaiD =
Workers delegations to the Soviet
Union from all sections of the world
have joined in praising the decision
of the government to establish the
seven-hour day.
Referring to the manifesto George
Albrecht, the first secretary of the
German Delegation, a Social Demo-
crat, said:
Lauds Workers Dictatorship.
81 was overwhelmed at the session
of the Central Executive Committee
of the U.S.S.R. government. We saw
at that session Representatives Of all
nations, we saw that the Soviet gov
eminent is the true representative
of the workers and peasants. We
have conceived the real value of all
talk that there is dictatorship over
the proletariat' in the Soviet Union.
"The sympathy of the German
workers is all on the side of the So
Wet Union because they see in that
country true kingdom of labor. The
manifesto adopted by the Central
Executive Committee Of the Govern
ment is the best proof of this"
Swiss Delegation Adds Praise.
Comrade Wagner, member of the
Swiss Delegation, a non-Party man,
said:
First of all | want to point out
the enormous significance of the
manifesto adopted by the Govern
ment Executive.
The bourgeoisie of all countries is
trying its utmost to prolong the work
ing day and reduce wages. We had
to undergo a stiff fight for the S-hour
day. But it still exists only on paper.
Actually the workers in most factor
les work longer hours. Only in the
U. S. S. r. has the government decided
to shorten the working day and to
substitute the existing hours by a
7-hour day without a reduction in
wages.
Will Aid U. S. s. R.
"Should the U. S. S. r. be menaced
by war, the world proletariat will be
on the side Of the workers of the So
Wet Union and they will do everything
in their power to prevent an attack
