Soviet Delegates Want
PrOIetarian Policy at

By CEDRIC LONG,

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 2. = The
Twelfth international Cooperative
Congress which closed on August 10
at Stockholm brought together 424
delegates from 81 countries, including
not only all the European countries
but also the United States, Japan,
and Palestine. The largest voting
delegations were those of Great Brit
ain, Germany and Russia.
u. S. Sends Delegates.
The Cooperative League of the
United States was represented by DR..
Warbasse, president, Cedric Long, ex-
ecItive secretary and Matti Tenhun-
en- and Eskel Rom, directors. DR..
Warbasse was reelected by the Con-
gresst to the Central Committee of the
International Cooperative Alliance.
The report of the Executive Com
mittee brought out many controver-
sial topics and vigorous differences
developed between the Russian dele
gates and the~rest of the Congress.
The most spirited disagreement CEN
tered about the resolution on world
peace presented by the British dele
cation The Russians offered an
amendment calling for support to all
mass action or strikes against war
and for recognition of the identity of
aim of the labor and cooperative
movements, but their amendment was
defeated. The British women also
made a special appeal that the Con-
gress vote to offer complete resist
ance to the declaration and prosecu-
ton of wars" by all national govern
ments; but this clause was deleted.
The Russian delegation introduced
a resolution calling upon the Alliance
to adopt a proletarian policy and to
insist upon the close collaboration of
all political industrial and economic
organizations of the working class
By an amendment the matter was re-
ferred to the executive for further
study and such action as seemed nee
essary. This amendment was sup
ported by the large majority which
recognized the cooperative as a con
sumers' movement, necessarily in
volved in the class struggle indirect
ly but committed to program of eco.

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., Sept. g.
Secret police have arrested number
Of persons charged with completely
in the bomb outrage at the Commu-

learned today.
The Soviet Union police declare
that investigation has revealed the

White Guard Terrorism.
The Communist Club outrage fol-

Peter Yoikoff, Soviet Minister to Po-
land. A series of White Guard out

murder.
The 0gpu, Soviet police, have been
investigating the White Guardist out
RACES and have discovered clues point
to widespread organization of mon
archists, whose object is to overthrow
the workers and peasants govern

approval of the rank and file of the
veterans of the world war. They know
that the purpose of the invasion is to
give publicity to an organization
which is not gaining in membership.
They know that few American veter-
ans want to revisit the scenes of
their sufferings or the cemeteries
where thousands of their dead COM
rades lie buried. They know that the
trip to Paris is a chance for the off
GERS who run the Legion posts to have
their "good time" far from the restric-
tions of prohibition and fhe eyes OF
morality.
French Workers Not Fooled.
The French soldiers who fought
thru the World War and lived thru
the disillusions that awaited the work
ers of all countries at the close of the
struggle will not give the legionnaires
very warm reception. The poilu has
had his own lessons in fascism. He
understands what the Legion stands
for and he will never forget that the
American Legion upheld the murder
of Sacco and Vanzetti.
Only few veterans will return to
France with the Legion. The French
government will fete them but the
French workers will recognize that
the legionnaires do not represent the
American ex-servicemen.

California Brutal in
Discrimination Against
Hindus: Ban Families
Federated Press)

The policy of discrimination against
Hindus in the United States is dicta-
ted by the State of California, ac-
cording to Saibandra Nath Chose,
general secretary of the India Free
dom Foundation and of the Hindu
Citizenship Committee, who has just
returned from series of conferences
with labor leaders, and other citizens
in California.
Mr.. Chose found individual labor
leaders in California ready to con-
denim the discrimination against
Hindus, but officially the State Fede-
ration of Labor has not advocated
equal opportunity for Hindu workers.
immigration of Hindus to the Uni
ted States has almost ceased since the
immigration Act of 1917 went into
effect. But the 1900 Hindus resident
in California and on the Pacific coast
cannot legally buy or hold land.
Nearly half of them are farmers and
farm laborers. Very many had
married before leaving India, but the
immigration law does not permit them
to bring their wives or children to
this country. Even Hindu students
are not allowed to bring their wives
to the United States.
The Hindu Citizenship Bill intro
duced into the U. S. Senate by Sena-
tor Copeland Of New York and re-
ferred to the Committee on Immigra-
ton calls for the recognition Of Hin
dus as white persons" since the
Hindu is an Aryan, a Caucasian, by
race. There are now about $500 Hin
dus in the United States.

Would Draft All Males.
Commenting on the governments
determination to draft all able-bodied
males and to regiment all workers as
in 1917, Major General Summerall de-
clared, with the recognition of war,
congress may be relied upon to enact
draft laws for both men and material
resources. The measure of our speed
in dispatching units and requirements
must be the readiness of our regular
army and national guard and the
time to make the draft law effective.
The feverish preparedness cam
paign which is being pushed thru by
the American government at present
is aimed at the Soviet Union, at Great
Britain whose competition with the
United States in all the important
world markets is constantly threaten
ing to flame out into war, and against
the forces of progressive Labor with
in the country.

The resolution declares that the
Presidipm of the executive commit
tee of the International Communist
Youth fully joins in supporting the
resolutions of the plenum.
OF International Importance.
The divergences of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics Commun-
list Party has long since acquired in
ternational Importance. The interna-
tional bourgeoisie and social demo-
crazy is utilizing all actions of the
Trotzkyist opposition for propaganda
against the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics and Communism.
Numerous adherents of the Oppo-
sition in the Communist Parties have
attempted to cause dissent among
the sections of the Communist Inter
national under the banner of the OPP
position platform. Lastly the inner
position of the Communist Party as
the leading party of the Communist
International is of tremendous i'm
portance for the entire international
Communist movement. Therefore the
Presidium of the executive committee
of the International Communist
Youth appeals to all sections of the
International Communist Youth to
study thoroughly all resolutions of
the plenum and support Lenin's line
of Bolshevik Party.
War Against Soviet Union.
The probing stone which tested the
platform of the Opposition in its talks
about Theremidore was a question of
impending world wars of Imperialism
against the Soviet Union. Accusing
the leaders of the party of regenera-
ton, of having attributed the latter
desire and conduct on impending war
union of the, new bourgeoisie of town
and village the Opposition effectively
placed under doubt the proletarian
nature of the impending war on the
part of the Soviet Union.
In connection with the war menace
the Opposition put forward in the
first place not the unconditional de-
tense of the Soviet Union and joining
for this purpose of all the power of
the Party and proletariat, but she. de-
pending upon fractional struggle to in
crease their fight for power inside the
Party and the Soviet state.
Undermine Basis.
Thus the Opposition began to under
mine the basis of the international
policy of the proletariat, the neces-
sity of unconditional and absolute de-
tense of the existing proletarian die
tatorship.
The Trotzkyist fraction was newt
ably destined to suffer ideologic
bankruptcy on this road which was
saliently demonstrated at the united
plenum.
The Opposition platform was de-
feated at the plenum also by actual
facts of the economic position of the
Soviet Union. The elements of Marx
ism demanded from the Opposition
an attempt to found their thesis about
the increasing regeneration tactics in
company with an analysis of the eco
nomic development of the Soviet
Union. However, the Opposition did
not even attempt to prove seriously
it's unbiased affirmations at the plen-
UNI as at that time to the plenum il
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-09-03

was perfectly clear and undisputably'
established that the process of GUST.
ing private capital by state and CO.
operative trade continues and that so
cialist industry continues increasing;
its importance in the entire national
economy, proving that the wages of
the proletariat has. been considerably
augmented during the past year.
Regeneration Leadership.
Pointing out indignantly the accu-
sation of the regeneration leadership;
of the proletarian dictatorship that,
has caught up by all foes, the Soviet
Union Presidium appeals to all sec
tions of the Communist International
of Youth to disclose this ealumny and
to explain to the masses the necessity
of the unconditional end absolute de-
tense of the Soviet Union as the
country developing socialism, as the
place that arms the worlds revolu-
ton.
Sharing the views of the plenum on
the basic tactical questions of the
Chinese resolution particularly, and
the necessity of a bloc with the ma
tional bourgeoisie, the Presidium con-
siders that the opposition distorts Len
ms teaching on the bourgeoisie and
democratic revolutions in colonial
countries and violates the Cominterns
point adopted jointly with them.
Against Organization Line.
The Presidium of thes executive
committee of the International Com
munist Youth with particular indigna-
ton rejects the organization line of
| the opposition as shaking the regime
of the proletarian dictatorship and
the unity of the Communist Party
and the Communist International.
An appeal to all non-Party citizens
for support of the mongrel anti
Comintern Party of Maslov and Ruth
Fisher is part Of the opposition pro-
gram and signifies the announcement
of all principles of Bolshevism.
Act in the self-defense of the Com
munist movement and the absolute ne
cessity of resolute struggle against
fractionary activity of the opposition
/ in. the Communist Party, also other
sections of the Communist Interna-
tionaI. This struggle is imperative.
Place the interest of Communism
i above personal sympathies to separate
4 leaders, above sentimental historical
"reminiscences of their former merits.
Defeated Ideologically.
The opposition defeated ideologi-
cally and surrounded by the indigna-
ton of the party masses made declar-
ations at the plenum renouncing the
accusation that the party leadership
| is termidorianism, organization con-
nection with German regenerates,
fractionary work.
The sincerity declaration of the OPP
position is born from the experience
of former peaceful declaration" The
4 opposition later transformed it into a
scrap of paper.
The future will show whether the
opposition will be able to fulfill its
promise of assistance to the party
of the Soviet Union, confronted with
formidable danger. Meanwhile the
object of the International Commun-
list Youth is the theological revela-
of the opposition platform and watch
fulness in respect to fractionary work.

Editor. The DAILY WORKER:

Editor, The DAILY WORKER:
In the interest of the fight L'Hu-
mantle is making against the pro-
posed American Legion parade in
Paris, let me give two incidents of
its fascist activities which shows it
to be the willing agent Of big bust
ness class of the United States.
The first incident occurred in Oak
3and, California, on Armistice Day,
1919 A mob composed of Legion
members raided Loring Hall, which
was at that time the headquarters of
all the militant labor organizations
in the city. The mob took the books
Of the library, the record, pictures,
furniture, etc, and after wrecking
everything, used the debris for a big
bonfire in the street below, around
which 1t celebrated in primitive saw
age fashiSA.
Police Idle.
The police~of course stood by silent
Nv while the vandalism took place.
Later they started reign of terror
on the leaders of the workers or
CARNATIONS. Nor did the Legion stop
with this. Many other, tho less pic
turesque acts of terrorism were COM
mitted by them at that time and since,
IN the San Francisco Bay district.
In Centralia, Wash.
The other crime I desire to relate
was perpetrated at Centralia, Wash
ington, during the same period, when
the parading Legion in that city
marched to the hall of the Industrial
Workers of the World and attempted
to wreck it. The workers who re-
sisted the attack were arrested, tor
tured, and many of them sent to
serve long prison terms in the state
penitentiary, where they are still i'm
prisoned. While one of their number
Wesley Everest, former overseas
veteran was taken from the jail on the
evening of the day the crime was
committed, by Legion mob, who tor
tured his body, mutilated him and
finally hanged him, and riddled his
remains with bullets.
You are doubtless familiar with
these and other items of the fascist
activities of the Legion. But give
these that the workers and peasants
of France may understand the nature
of the organization and its activities
that seeks to demonstrate for its
masters in Paris on September the
