This Is No World for the Meek

Even though Jesus alleged have said that
the meek would inherit the earth that prediction still remains
nued Only those who have used their claws have been able
take hold anything worth while in this dogeadog world
of ours.
When news the extraordinarily severe sentences imposed
by Judge Roas members of the international Ladies Gar
men Workers union reached The DAILY WORKER solicited
comment from various public characters the judges action
Among those received is the following from Lewis S. Gannet
associate editor Of The Nation:

states that secret emissary of the
fascist government Of Lithuania is
already in Warsaw seeking peace
with Poland and that Lithuania "had
developed a plan whereby joint Po-
lish-Lithuanian Government would be
established for the Wilma region,
creating a sort of federation embrac-
ing both nations"
This is exactly the plan of the
world imperialists. They want Lith-
uania and Poland to form a fedora
ton under the dominance of the
Polish imperiahsts. Now this plan
is advanced by the bloody fascist of
Lithuania. 1t means an end to the
independence of Lithuania as a ma
ton. 1t means united front of the
Baltic states under the leadership of
imperialist Poland against the Union
of the Socialist Soviet Republics.

ago.
Therefore, the present fascist gov
eminent Of Lithuania is an express

formers subsection to the latter.
Ruling Class Shocked.
A. Then we come to the influence
of world imperialism. The ruling
class of England, France, Japan and
America were simply shocked by the
non-aggression treaty between Lith-
uania and Soviet Russia. For the
last nine years they were building a
wall against Soviet Russia. The unity
of the Baltic states with Poland at
the head of the procession was a ne
cessary link in their cabin of reac-
ton around Soviet Russia. But now
they were set back in their conspir-
acy by the Lithuanian Russian
treaty. Lithuania suddenly became a
threat to their aims. The coalition
government of the Populists and So
cial democrats turned its face from
the West toward the East. The Lith-
uanian masses were supporting this
new orientation very enthusiastically.
Hence the imperialists of England,
France, Japan and America sought
and found faithful lackeys to their
anti-soviet policy in the fascist
movement of Lithuania. Now the
bloody fascist are shooting down the
revolutionary workers of Lithuania
who are in faver of friendly rela-
lions with Soviet Russia while the
agents of Pilsudsky are free and
jubilant.

coup detat was: "The coalition gov
eminent had sold Lithuania to the
Bolsheviks. Down with the Bolshe-
viks!" 1t was a hypocritical slogan
but it showed the face of the fascist.
lmperialists Encouraged.
6. AS soon as the fascist overthrow
the coalition government and estab-
lished bloody white terror all over the
country, the imperialists of Poland
breathed more easily and openly ex-
pressed their satisfaction with the
change in Lithuania. They saw that
their friends and colleagues are in
power in Kovno. The chauvinist
press of Warsaw exclaimed: "Mos-

knew that such things can be done
by slight of hand, and that he had
no way of telling the difference;
no chance was given in this COM
pany, made up of believers in a
state Of emotional exaltation. So
one session was enough, and he
went back to the Socialists. But

him happy!
Not so BERTHE, who found out
about it, and went into a regular
tantrum. What did Bunny mean by
letting his father fall into such
hands? 1t was the worst kind of
swindling in the world! And that
woman, Mrs. Oliver, it was perfect

BERTHE and Bunny had worked all
their lives to help him accumulate
a fortune and save it-and a de-
signing adventures would jump in
and grab the money, and Bunny
hadn't even sense enough to know
what was happening! Never had
he seen his sister so mad in her
whole life-she called him a fool
seven times running-when he said
that the Spiritualist widow might
have her share, if only she could
help the poor old man to find hap
piness.

a LII the assertions Of the bloody
"A fascist government of Lithuania
that has no intention of breaking up
the non-aggression treaty signed a
few months ago between Lithuania
and Soviet Russia cannot and does
not hid the role and aims of the Fas-
cisti. There are some very important
facts which contradict their public
utterances. These facts prove be-
yond shadow of doubt that the
fascist revolution" in Lithuania was
inspired and assisted by the imperial
lists of Poland, as well as those of
England and France.
Let us take up few of these facts
very briefly.
l.. MARSHALL Pilsudsky, the leader
of the hangmen of Poland, protested
very emphatically against the non
aggression treaty between Lithuania
and Soviet Russia. He went to the
League of Nations and demanded the
league to take steps against this
treaty. The statement of the Soviet
government that it reaffirms the 1920
treaty between Lithuania and Russia
in which Wilma province is recognized
as a part of Lithuania aroused the
ire of Pilsudsky and his gang. In
his protest to the League Of Nations,
Pilsudsky stated that the non-aggres-
sion treaty is against the "best inter-
ests of Poland"
What did the Lithuanian clericals
do at that time? Were they for OF
against the treaty? Of course, they
were against it, In the Lithuanian
parliament or Seimas they fought
against the adoption of the treaty
and voted against it as a bloc. They
also pointed out that this treaty is
against the best interests of Lith-
uania."
It was a we'll known fact even at
that time the Lithuanian clericals,
who today are the backbone of the
bloody fascist, carried secret nego-
tiations with the Polish government
2. Smetona and Voldemaras are to-
day the outstanding leaders of the
fascist. But they are also the lead
ers OF the Nationalist Party, which
is composed of the rich and powerful
landowners, ninety-nine per cent OF
whom are of Polish nationality and
have always fought for the annexa-
ton of Lithuania to Poland. And now
these elements are in the forefront
of the bloody fascist.
Vatican Important Factor.
3. The Vatican is another very I'M
portant factor in the situation. The
Lithuanian and Polish clericals are
taking orders from the pope, He is
their boss and master. He tells them
to get together in the name of the
catholic church and they must not
disobey his orders-if they want to
have paradise on earth.
The Vatican always was for the
imperialists of Poland. 1t exerted a

Alice to Sue Kip for
Divorce and Alimony

NEW YORK CITY, April Z. (By
ANP)-That Mrs. Alice Kip Rhine
lander intends to sue her white hus-
band for separation and permanent
alimony was intimated here Thurs
day following in the wake of the
courts. decision which again denied
Rhinelander an annulment of his
marriage on the ground that his wife
was a colored woman.
Mrs. Rhinelander and her attor-
ney indicated that the papers in a
separation suit, charging cruelty and
abandonment, had been prepared
and would be served on Rhinelander
in the next few days.
Under the courts ruling, Mrs.
Rhinelander has received temporary
alimony amounting to $500 a month
and allowed $4,000 in counsel fees.
With the decision recently denying
Rhinelander an annulment the com
pulsion for payment of alimony
ceased and whether young Rhine
lander would be willing to continue
to pay the monthly stipend of his
own accord is problematical.

ceeded the humanistic Gov. (Ma.)
Ferguson, and has created much dis
like among the colored citizens Of
the state, has stirred up further
animosity by his action here Friday
in, sponsoring segregation act that
will effect the entire Lone Star
State.
Governor Moody signed the bill
recently passed by the legislature
calling for the segregation OF col
ored and white persons in the larger
cities of the state. The measure
calls for segregation through the
creation OF districts. Colored Amer
leans are considering the validity OF
the measure in face of the recent
decision of the United States Su-

segregation case. In its decision the
court declared the restriction of the
members of one race from neigh
borhood by the members of another
race unconstitutional.
The measure signed by Gov Moo

LEGAL BATTLE
OVER OIL WELL
in CEMETERY

LITTLE ROCK. Ark. April IA
long legal battle over one-acre
colored cemetery in Union County
was settled Monday by the Supreme
Court.
The prize fought for is an oil well
which has produced $l50,00O worth
of oil and is at present producing
between 200 and 800 barrels, of oil
day.
BY its decision the Supreme court
reversed the ruling of the Union
Circuit court and took the valuable
cemetery from the Lion Oil and Re-
filming Company. BY its decision
the court found in favor of owners
of the burial grounds.
The case dates back to 1908 when
Jesse T. Murphy. white, owner of
Go acres of land, conveyed by deed
one acre to Louis Hicks. colored
American, to be. used as a cemetery.
Later, Hicks returned his deed TO
Murphy and was given in exchange
a deed TO half an acre. Meanwhile
Murphy leased oil rights to the re-
naming 64 acres. This lease came
into possession of the Lion Oil and
Refining Company after passing
through several hands.
oil was struck on the half acre
cemetery tract and the Lion OIL
Company brought suit to enjoin TAX
ing of oil from the we'll. The lower
court held that Murphy's lease in
cluded the cemetery tract. The
Supreme Court reversed that deci-
sion saying that. although the deed
was unclear-y 1t was evident Murphy
did not intend to convey the one
acre cemetery plot.
Title to the smaller tract still is
in dispute between Murphy and
Hicks and others, but it is thought
that matters will be settled now and
Hicks as well as a number of other
Negroes be made independently
rich
