EDITORS NOTES

IT should be obvious to all friends and supporters
of a labor press in the United States that the
present attack upon The DAILY WORKER has for
its sole purpose the Sitting of a voice which for
several years has made the enemies of labor feel
highly uncomfortable The defense Of paper must
be the concern of all true friends of labor.
There are too few militant labor papers in Amer
lea All too few. And to permit the enemies Of labor
to destroy The DAILY WORKER-because this is
the intentions to permit the employers to seri-
ously weaken the workers and to hamper the de-
velopment of the American labor movement.
The severity with which the 'open-shoppers," SUI
perpatriots and hypocrtica upholders of capitalist
morality have seized upon the occasion is explained
in the first instance by the fact that The DAILY
WORKER is Communist paper. But this alone does
not tell the whole story 1t is of course true that
a Communist paper is at all times pretty much I'M
desirable from the capitalist point of view. But such
a paper begins to appear positively menacing to the
capitalists when it succeeds in establishing itself as
loyal and consistent fighter in the everyday strug
giles of the working masses. This is precisely the
crime of which The DAILY WORKER is guilty in
the eyes of the capitalists 1t is for this "crime"
that our editor and manager have been jailed and
the paper threatened with destruction.
Defense of The DAILY WORKER is defense of a
militant labor organ. 1t is duty which Ameri-
worker can afford to shirk or ignore.
president CooLIDGE'S speech at the Arlington

same old tune played in the same old way that we
have been accustomed to hear from spokesman of
American capitalism since native Imperialism came

evil forces in the world which all past experience
warns us will break out from time to time and
do serious damage to lawful rights and the pro-
gress of civilization unless prepared to
meet such situations with armed intervention.
This carefully worded sentence treats of "evil"
forces at home and abroad in the breath. 1t
makes no distinction between the "evil" that may
come to the American capitalists from the compet-
tive designs of, say, British capitalists, and the
"evil" effects that may result from successful
strike of workers for decent wages, say, the pres

THE Philippine Islands are again on the agenda of
the capitalist press of this country. This time an
attempt is being made to adapt British tactics in
China to the needs of American Imperialism in the
Philippines For the first time, in our recollection,
direct charge is being made against the leaders Of
the FllplnO independence movement that they are
in communication alliance with the Communists
Feeling, presumably that this charge by itself
may not justify the imposition of more terroristic
pressure upon the Filipnos, Rear Admiral Kittele
confirms report "that certain radicals proposed
and discussed plot to destroy the naval ammuni-
ton dump at Cavte, MANILA" The two stories
are slfully linked together in the newspapers and
thus sinister conspiracy" against American is
brought to light. With General Wood on his way
to the United States to get authorization from Wash
ington for power to crush the Philippines,
these aarmistc stories clearly designed harm
the independence movement.
Which is exactly in line with British tactics in
China. And very likely these will prove just as
effective in the Philippines
