Panama's Appeal to League
Affecting Canal Criticized

Most American newspapers dis
missed lightly the proposal of
Panama's delegate to the League of
Nations that the question of SOW.
ereignty over the Canal Zone be sub.
mitted to the World Court. Even
before the President of Panama made
it clear that the delegate was not
acting in this instance on instructions
from his government, it was rather
generally taken for granted in this
country that such an idea would not
be pressed by Panama and that the
League would not give it serious
consideration.
1.-THE World Court would not nor
could it, by the nature of its con-
stitution," according to the Charleston
Evening Post, take any question
under adjudication which was not pre-
sented to its Judgment by all parties
to the controversy. 1t Is entirely Ger.
tain that the United States will not
even admit the question of SOW
ereignty over the Canal Zone to be
discussed in it's presence. The Man
chester Union emphasizes the fact
that 1.-The Panama Canal is one of our
most vital interests" and holds that
''our negotiations with Panama are
purely regional in their character and
therefore outside the interests of the
League"
LAS arranged in the treaty. so we
are going to continue administering
the canal, incidentally doing Panama
great deal of good" AYERS the
Lansing State Journal, and the Reno
Evening Gazette suggests that "if the
faction In Panama that wants to run
the zone and police it, incidentally col
Letting taxes therefrom, does not like
the agreement, it's quarrel is not with
the United States, but with their ac-
credited and fully empowered prede-
cessors who signed it in all good
faith"
The Grand Rapids Press il con-
WINGED that neither Great Britain nor
any other nation would trust the en-
forcement of canal neutrality to feeble
Panama." that they, along with our
selves, have a stake in the proper
| management and protection of this
vital waterway" The Louisville
Times puts it this way: Panama
owns the canal just as much as Egypt
owns Suez. In neither case can
| authority be handed over to the
smaller nation. The trusteeship OF
the United States and of Great Britain
| in either instance is for the beneht OF
the whole world, and too great re-
sponsibility to be trified with"

st. Paul Dispatch. which dismisses
the issue as one which would seem a

gaging in his daily dozen intellectual

to raise this issue at Geneva" and

Some day, day twill all right
The tangled skeins will all unwind
And we will grasp the colors bright
And leave the somber threads behind.
The sun is slow and rest Is sweet.
Yet fears draw round when it SETS

And JOY but herads regrets.
Fen while taste, sweet draughts will turn
To bitterness that hurts us sore;
We learn to love- and. loving, learn
To feel the loved loss the more.
And yet when reasons" light grows pale,
There shines through darkness still a ray
OF faith untaught which cannot fail.
And leads onward to some day.

German FaSCiStS in
Beer Room Riot as
Police Shield Them

BERLIN, May 5.-The working
class quarters are seething with scorn
for the fascist "Steel Helmet" So
ciety which is staging a demon
stration Sunday, under complete po-
lice protection, for the overthrow Of
the Hindenburg republic and the
establishment of a frankly black
shirt regime, similar to Mussolini's
in Italy.
The reactionay "Steel Helmet"
tho nominally composed Of dare
devils, and theoretically anti-gov-
elnmental, has to have the entire
police force Of Berlin at its disposal
to save it from the wrath Of the
workers.
All meetings of Communists or
trade unions are forbidden by the
city government on the day of the
fascist Outbreak" A Gordon Of po-
lice are to be thrown completely
around the meeting places of the re-
dictionary conspirators, not to pre-
vent them from doing the govern
ment any harm, but to keep them
safe from the wrath Of the workers.
Wave The Beer Stein.
While these precautions are being
taken, the fascist organization in
dulged in a typical "disorde" Of its
own last night, understood to have
been occasioned by discovery of a
Nationalist newspaper reporter and
an evangelist at one of their meet
ings. The fascists called this meet
ing for the purpose of planning raids
on non-fascist newspapermen. When
the Nationalist reporter and the
evangelist were discovered there was
general uproar and the two were
beaten into Inconsistencies with beer
stems. The police were called out
and q general melee followed.

Speech Delivered by Sun Yat-sen
AT A MEETING OF CHINESE WORKERS MAY /, 1924

Comrades. we meet here today to
celebrate the first Of May as the
other workers in other countries cele-
brate it Why do the workers Of the
whole world celebrate the 1st Of May?
Because 80 years ago the American
workers organized themselves, made
demonstration, and demanded the
eight-hour day from their employers:
hours work, hours rest, and 8
hours for education. This led to the
abolition Of slave labor. Therefore,
the American workers celebrate this
anniversary. AS result of this the
May day celebration spread to Eu-
rope, and the European workers be-
gan to make the same demands as the
American workers. The European
workers, like the American, have been
victorious in this struggle. The May
day celebration has become custo-
mary among the European workers,
and has spread all over the world.
The May day celebration is a victory
won by the working class over the
capitalists, and therefore we must
welcome it.
The Chinese Workers.
When the workers of China cele-
brate this anniversary, they must re-
member the position of the Chinese
workers. If we are to understand the
position of the Chinese workers, we
must first understand the position of
China at the present time. China is
today the poorest and weakest of
countries, and is under the yoke of
the imperialist powers. The position
of China is much worse than that of
many colonial countries. Thus, for
instance, Korea is a colony of Japan,
Indochina colony of France. Korea
and Indochina play no role of inn
portance among the peoples of the
world. But since Korea and Indo-
china are each the enslaved countries

The economic struggle for shorter
working hours and higher wages is
not the only problem confronting you;
there are other much more important
political tasks. In the pursuance Of
your political aims you must follow
my three principles, and support the

the revolution, and follow my three
principles, then the meeting of today
will achieve good results.

Foil the
Professional
Patriots

Seitz of the Keymen of America and
Darte of the Military Order of World War
Veterans, are representative types of the pro
fessiOnal patriot. These vultures upon
ciety are seeking to use the case against The
DAILY WORKER as means of increasing
the loot derived from plying their nefarious
trade. They are the paid agents of business
interests, which are bent upon depriHing the
working class of this country of its powerful
and dreaded weapOn-The DAILY WORK
Err. On the basis of their first success in
holding the members Of The DAILY WORK
Err, for Special Sessions, they will collect
many thousands of dollars from employers
throughout the country. With this money
they hope to carry the case to success. The
forces of big business the city and federal
government are on their side. Our enemies
are unit against u.s.
Seitz and Darte must not succeed. We
will not give up our chief weapon. The thou
sands of dollars collected from the bosses by

ENCDAHL SPEAKS AT DEMONSTRATION OF $4,000
WORKERS IN HAMBURG, GERMANY

in our procession there was a work
ing class standard carried in Ger
many's revolutionary struggle of
184S which, altho unsuccessful,
marked a great effort on the part Of
the German working class.
Finally the procession had entirely
arrived. We were martiaI1ed together
and proceeded to a place set apart
from which the parade of banners was
to proceed to the praesidium. With
lane thru the throng made by Red
Front Fighters, we proceeded, first
Red Front Guard, then a band of
music playing, then the Party and
Youth leaders and visiting delegates,
then the banners, up to the speakers
platform, about which the banners
made huge red circle.
Many Speakers Present.
Again, the program of speaking
and the presentation Of new banners,
one of which was given to the Brit
ish Youth Delegate, Massei, to take
with him back home to England, con-
stitutes another epic story. The
leader of the German Youth opened.
The representative Of the Young
Communist International spoke. /
was called to speak for America.
Massei spoke for England. A tele-
gram was read from France. A
Czecho-Slovak delegate spoke. A
Chinese spokesman of the Kuomin-
tang was given a tremendous ovation.
Then came Ernst Thalman, addressing
the youth on behalf Of the German
Communist Party, reviewing h e
tasks of Germanys revolutionary
workers in the present world crisis
and calling for even greater efforts.
TOreh-Light Parade.
Then there was period of rest, for
an hour. The night had come on. It
was after eight o'clock when the re-
turn march to the city began. Thou
sands of torches appeared, carried by
the marchers, who made the streets
echo with their songs, songs that are
rich and numerous in the German
revolutionary movement.
Thus Red Sunday passed in Ham
burg. All day today, Easter Monday,
the hosts have been marching to the
great Hauptbahnhof (Railroad Sta
tom to return to their homes, for
greater struggles, in all parts Of
Germany, fresh with new vigor and
new spirit.

Hamburg trade unions, conducted in
connection with the Gewerksehats-
hause (The Home of the Trade

Ehe thunder Of brass band is
heard down the street. Another pro-
cession is coming. The marchers are
singing. They sweep past, every
Red Soldier in step, every mareher
in his place, on the way to the rail-
road station-the Berlin Delegation
going back to the Capitol City Of the
German Capitalist Republic. They
sing the song that, next to "The In
ternational' seems the most popular,
the song about Karl Liebknecht and
Rosa Luxembourg.

tracted much attention. The Youth
Delegation from Saxony carried
banner declaring, eve Come From
Red Saxony!" The Wedding COM
munists were conspicuous as were
those from Google Always the
music and the singing kept growing
in volume The party leaders came,
among them Ernst Thalmann, the
leader of the German Party, who
showed intense interest in the Chinese
situation and declared the utmost
must be done TO meet successfully the
crisis growing out Of the betrayal by
the right wing Kuomintang leaders.
Thalmann was the party candidate
against Won Hindenburg in the last
national election. He appear
younger than his early forties. He
was greeted enthusiastically every
where he went.
Here were delegates and delega-
tions from foreign countries, the
young comrades from Denmark es-
pecially making themselves heard and
seen.
At three o'clock the order to march
came. The bicycle corps was in the
lead opening the way and keeping
order, for huge throngs filled the
sidewalks, on both sides of the street,
from curb to building front, as we
passed. Behind the bicycle corps was
a Red Front Guard, then the Party
and Youth Leaders, then a drum and
fife corps, then a brass band, then
the main body of the procession.
Red Flags Line Streets.
The march of an hour and half, to
the outskirts of the city, mostly thru
working class districts, thru "The
Streets of the Proletariat," as huge
banners flung across the avenue de-
clared, challenges words to describe.
Thousands of crimson flags waved
from the windows of workers homes.
Germany's cities are closely built.
Nowhere, as we marched, did ! see
individual homes such as one finds in
American cities. 1t was more like
passing thru the canyons Of New
York's East Side, with the buildings
three, four and five stories high, with
every window a point of vantage to
view the procession.
