LEGION For Peace
But Jingoes' Wives
Attack PaCifisnl
BY WALTER SNOW.

In spite of all the whitewash
statements that the purpose of the
American Legion invasion of Paris is
not to revive the spirit of militar-
ism, "the cat has been let out of the
bag"
Mrs. Alkaline Wright Macauley, ma
tional president of the Legion Auxili-
airy, let it out at the convention of
that body in the Continental Hotel
Monday.
The greatest job the auxiliary has,
Mrs. Macauley is quoted in the New
York Times, is combating pacifism
and communism, especially as they
affect the youth of America" She
called upon the wives of the Amer
lean Fascists to especially attack the
Young Pioneers of America.
This statement came on the same
day that Sir Philip Gibbs, "Times"
war correspondent, wrote columns
about being certain that "the Amer
lean Legion now in Paris will not
revive the spirit of militarism."
And it was printed on the same
page as another story in which Col.
F. L. Minnigerode, D. S. c., D. S. NJ,
declared the unknown war dead APP
peal for peace:
"There is but one way to recompense
US for the deaths we died. 1t is this:
You must swear by the crosses above
us that, God helping you, you will
never again let the world be at war
If you would honor US who
died, you have no further to go than
to keep peace. Do that, and we
dead will rise up and call you bless
sed'
Is peace kept by combating paci-
fism, Mrs. Macauley? Or should we
infer that, inspite of all your flower
dropping at the Tomb Of the IN
known Soldier, you really do not wish
to honor the war dead and don't give
hang whether they call you blessed
or not?
There is a name for you, Mrs.
Macauley, and it applies also to the
wives of the dollar-a-year patriots
and your fellow auxiliary members.
1t is Mrs. Tartuffe.

cares long harangue at Verdun and
in the insulting manner in which the
legionnaires who have been carefully
told that some of ''the fences of in
ternational decency" are down, re-
taliated for the boycott of contempt
with which the masses have received
them since their arrival on French
soil by streaming away from the re-
ception without listening to the
French reply.
Before Poincare had finished his
speech more than half Of the Ameri-
cans rose to their feet and clamoring
ana shouting for all to follow, left
the hall where the reception was be-
ing held. Marshall Petain, the de-
fender of Verdun for the French i'm
rerjalists, was forced to conclude his
speech briefly, as were the mayor of
Verdun. Rodrique, who is president of
the French veterans of the Meuse dis
trict. Other speeches We're entirely

naires is looked upon by the French
as inspired from above and is con-

authorities.
The legionnaires themselves are
having their own commercial diff
cullies. A resolution denouncing the
legion convention management for
the exhorbitant hotel prices which the
veterans" are having to pay for
their first experiences in France was
brought before the legion convention
by Morris Klein, chairman Of the
Wyoming delegation.
Since the veterans" have discov~
cred that it is possible to rent better
rooms at cheaper prices on their own
hooks than they are being charged
by the legion housing committee feel
ing has been mounting among the la-
gionnaires and they are demanding to
know who is pocketing the difference.
Legion Swindles Veterans"
The legion is asking more for its
rooms than is being received by the
better class French hotels and the
clerks are being besieged with indig-
nant and cursing legionnaires who
are calling for return Of their
"swindled coin" The legion clerks
are meeting the demands of the men
with dazed look and the reply that
there is some mistake on the wet

done about it anyway.

4 But the greatest expansion and
deepening OF the work OF the Young
Communist Leagues has taken place
in the struggle against militarism.
That which existed only in its first
beginnings before the war, and was
she work of only a small group OF
fevolutionists, has now developed into
Systematically organized activity,
reaching all the great imperialist
armies of the world, and disintegra-
ing them. We need only point to the
brilliant work accomplished by the
German and French Young Commu-
hist Leagues among the French
roops in the Ruhr valley and in oc-

done by the British League during the

really magnificent efforts of the
French League in general.
Year for year the Young Commu-
mist Leagues toll unwearingly among

against imperialist war. Communist

is not for nothing that the French
government and the bourgeoisie are
raising alarmed outcries against the
activities of the Communists in the
army and fleet.
This permanent and unwearying
work in the armies and fleets of the
imperialist states is a real and eff
fectual method Of struggle against
imperialist war, earnest work for the
defence of the Soviet Union against
the attacks of the imperialist powers.
And the Young Communist Interna-
tional, in celebrating today its Inter
national Youth Day and the Goth an
niversary of it's foundation, does not
intend to content itself with demon
strations. This Day is to be the
point of departure for an intensified
ton Of our practical work against
militarism and against imperialist
war. This is real international soli-
darity, and real support for the So

RABBI SILVER FOR RECOGNITION OF SOVIET RUSSIA

CLEVELAND, Sept %. = Rabbi
A. II. Silver, the well known liberal
rabbi of this city, who has just re-
turned from a trip through Europe
and to Palestine, declared that Of
fetal trade relations should immedi-
ately be established with Soviet Rus
sia, to be followed by full diplomatic
recognition by the United States gov
eminent.
The rabbi has his scruples as to
the speed with which the latter re-
Iations should be installed, for he re-
2ommends a probationary period for
The Soviet Government.
His argument is not based upon
full sympathy with the Soviet Union.
He believes that the best way to
weaken Communism is through the
exchange of goods. This would
eventually result in the abandonment
of the radical dogma already COM
promised by Russia's new economic
policy"
American interests, notably those
in the oil industry, are already enter
ing into trade relations with Russia
and will continue to do so without
our state departments sanction !.
A struggle is brewing within the
ranks of the Communist Party. Of
fetal trade relations with Russia
would strengthen the conservative
element in the party, who would be
glad to come to terms with capital
istic Europe and America"
Silver declared that the Russian
people entertain friendly feelings
toward America, and he himself was
treated with unfailing courtesy by
Russian officials . The physical
welfare of the people is better than
under the cars regime :. The gov
ernment is stable and change might
bring another debacle," he said.
1t is obvious that the rabbi saw
Soviet Russia through his liberal
american spectacles. He cannot I'M
derstand what has taken and is TAX
ing place in Soviet Russia, and
judges by American standards. One
thing, however, must be emphasized.
Unlike VIM. Green, Silver has visited
Soviet Russia, and has returned with
the same impressions that every one
obtains: he realizes the stability of
the government, he sees fruitful adj

Southern Workers Must
Unionize as Industry
Grows, Says Professor
by Federated Press.l

GREENSBORO, N. c., Sept. 81. -
lndustrialism will bring trade union
ism in its wake into the Carolinas
and into the new south. The move
ment is inevitable. That is the con-
clusion reached by Dr. Earl R. Skies,
of Dartmouth College, after sum
mer of investigation through the tex
tile, tobacco and furniture centers of
the Piedmont region of the Carolinas.
"Some time with the next decade,
he predicts, the problem of union
ism is going to be before the people
Of the south. The industrialism of
this section will necessarily bring the
problem, for as capital becomes more
concentrated the need for labor or
CARNATIONS becomes keener.
"The question, the answer to which
will be of great interest, is what at
titude will North Carolina take toward
the inevitable rise of unionism ?"
The problems of low wages, long
hours of labor and bad working con-
ditions are public problems. in es-
sence, Dr. Skies maintains, and can
not be fenced off from discussion by
assertions that they are the private
concern of industrialists. Thus the
state is fully justified in devising
protective legislation and social in
surance for the badly exploited
workers of North Carolina. Similarly,
the principles of democracy and
equality of opportunity become mean
ingless on the industrial field, DR..
Skies argues.

PLAN MEMORIALS
FOR SACCO AND
vANzETTI YEARLY
Anthracite Coal Miners
Will Not Forget
Especial to the Daily worker).

WlLKES-BARRE, Pa, Sept. %. 49,
Annual demonstrations in memory of
the martyrdom of Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti will be held
turnout the anthracite coal fields.
This was the decision Of the coal
miners who turned out for the series
of Sacco-V anzetti memorial meetings
just held at Old Forge, Jessup, Lu-
zerne and other mining centers.
Among the speakers was J. Louis
Engdahl editor of The DAILY
WORKER, who urged at the meetings
he addressed that the coal miners con-
tinue their struggle in memory of
Sacco and Vanzetti by strengthening
their union, by developing the cam
paign for the Labor Party by build
ing the struggle for the protection
of the foreign-born workers, by aiding
in the relief movement in support of
the striking coal miners in the soft
coal fields.
Miners Went On Strike.
The memorial meetings were held
in centers that had seen huge pro-
test strikes of the coal miners on Mon
day, August %, the day that Sacco
and Vanzetti were, put to death at
midnight in the electric chair at Bos-
ton, Mass.
The anthracite coal field was the
only spot in any basic industry where
the workers came out in any consid-
cradle number in the Sacco-V anzetti
protest strike. Parades were held IN
several Gowns. some being allowed to
proceed peacefully, while others were
broken up by the state police, the in
! famous Pennsylvania cossacks,
Parade Is Broken Up.
One of the professions that was at
tackled by the police was held by the
miners at Jessup, Thousands of min
ers were in line. Suddenly. at the
head of the procession, appeared a
miners wife, with a brilliant red
tablecloth attached to a pole. 1t was
an improvised Red Flag that immedi-
ately inflamed the police who refused
to allow the parade to proceed.
The miners ranks were broken, but
they soon reassembled again, little
way down the road, and again con-
tinued marching in orderly array. The
| procession was again attacked by the
police, who declared they would only
allow It to proceed If the American
flag was substituted for the Red
Flag. This the workers refused to
do, rather permitting their demon
stration to be smashed by the coal
cossacks.
Engdahl Urges Labor Party.
At the memorial meeting held at
Jessup, Engdahl urged the workers
to develop the movement of the work
ers for independent political action
against the republican and democratic
parties of the mine owners.
Engdahl pointed to the hack of
workers political action in the an
thracite coal field and thruout the
entire state in the election campaign
that was at that moment in progress.
at was the government of the en-
ployers," said Engdahl, chat slaugh-
tered Sacco and Vanzetti. They were
arrested under the Wilson-P Palmer
democratic regime in Washington and
murdered with the Coolidge Sargent
republican administration in power.
The blood of Sacco and Vanzetti red
dens the hands of every supporter Of
these two old parties Of the exploit
ers."
Engdahl also stressed that every eff
fort would be made, during the next
