The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-06-03


u has announced the appointment OF
an advisory committee in connection
with his investigation of the Sacco-
Vanzetti case. Frankly, this bust
ness does not look good to me. The
governor is politician and fears that
whatever decision he may make VIII
have a detrimental effect on MS
political career so he brings up a
few reserves who in all probability
have no reason to fear the wrath OF
any section of voting Americans.
WHAT we fear most in this situa-
Vtion is the danger that this COM
mittee might surrender sufficiently
to the popular claim in favor of
Sacco and Vanzetti to commute their
sentences of death to life imprison-
,nent. This would be a greater and
more gross miscarriage of justice
than the farce presented in judge
Thayer's courtroom. Our comrades
are innocent. They were framed up
because of their activity in behalf of
the workingclass. They must be
freed. This is the time to inject new
life into the agitation to Save and
Free Sacco and Vanzetti.
AS l already noted in this column
n the capitalist press carefully
avoided giving US any information
about the reaction of British labor
towards the breaking off of diplo-
matte relations with the Soviet
Union. But sometimes a good picture
cets by city editor when a written
ory gets the waste basket. An in
tcr ational Newsreel shows mons
ter demonstration of London workers
.th banners protesting against the
. tiJn of the tory government and
COR latest exchanges give us the true
u cture of the wave of resentment
ii at swept thru the ranks of the
British workingclass when the Gov
eminent of Forgers and Burglars
broke with the Workers Republic.
1T is encouraging to note chat the
! Soviet Union is not taking the
British threat with a whimpering
tone. Without any desire to indulge
in heroics the workers and peasants
of the Soviet Union have shaken their
clenched fist-it's some fist at that;
the muscle power of 160,000,000 peo-
pie is behind it, also the brain power
at the Robber Empire and chai-
lenged the decadent aristocrats to do
their worst. And the workers and
peasants of the. Soviet Union can
count on the active sympathy of mil
lions of other workers thruout the
world, for hundreds of millions have
a bone to pick with world Imperialism
and a whole skeleton with the British
Empire.
THE armies of the Manchurian ban
dit. Chang Tso-Lin are in disorder
ly retreat and we have not heard
that the reporters who staked their
regulations on the invincibility of the
brigand's mercenaries have yet cut
their throats. How the liars have
been exposed While those knights of
the gaudy falsehood pictured Hankow
in panic and the foes of the Chinese
revolution getting ready to slaughter
the leaders Of the workers and peas
ants organizations, the Nationalist
generals were recognizing their fore
es on the heels of the perfidy of
Chang Kai-Shek, in preparation for
the northern advance. Now they are
thinking up a new line. Frederick
Moore, the famous prevaricator of the
New York Times has had another
lapse into silence. Perhaps, like OLD
fink Burns, he has gone into retire
nent to think up new scheme.
IKE buzzards when they smell
~ fresh killing, the armies and naval
forces Of the imperialist powers are
Moving northwards on the flanks of
the Nationalists. Those human birds
Of pSey are afraid that their rich
pickinAs in China are endangered.
What a. calamity it will be for many
a gaudy Sfemale parasite, whose keep
er's pounds and dollars are invested
in Chinese raw wealth and cheap Chi
nese labor if the coolies should begin
70 eat meat. In fact we will COM
promise with the vegetarians on
l spinach soup if the coolies provide the
rice with company. Thousand of
poodle dogs may go without jeweled
IN
earnin - 1ons OF Chinese chill
dren W. . --.d from the river and
from a worse fate as adult slaves.
CHRISTIANITY never showed up to
" worse advantage than in China at
this moment. OF course there are
comparatively few people now that
believe the Christian god has power
enough to blow out candle but there
are many who believe that the dope
the missionaries have been handing
out would make pacifists out of the
Chinese Mot that christmas are nverSe
