ENEA SORMENTI
A N FASCIST
TO Be DEPORTED
The |. L. ID. Will Hold
Protest Meeting

The machinery of the United States
department of labor under Mr.. John
y. Davis is being used to deport
workers who have been active in the
struggle against fascism in Italy and
its agents in the United States. Enea
Sormenti, one of the leading anti
fascists in America, has been arrested
at the instigation of the Italian am
bassador and is being held for de-
portation to Italy. To send Sormenti
back to Italy means sending him to
his death. This is a continuation of
the fascist brutalities that have
burned down co-operatives and work
ing mems clubs; made trade unions
illegal and broken up the homes of
the workers wherever anti-fascist
sympathies were suspected.
The American labor movement has
made clear it's position towards
fascism and the rule of Mussolini
Conventions of the A. F. of L. at
Portland and Atlantic City passed
resolutions denouncing the rule of the
Black Shirts. The recent A. F. of l..
convention at Detroit reiterated this
position. In spite of all this Sormenti
lis stili in danger.
The international Labor Defense is
defending the case of Sormenti and
maintains the right of asylum for
political refugees. The New York
section of the International Labor De-
Tense is holding a protest meeting on
Sunday, February 9th, at 2 p. m. in
Webster Hall, 18th street and 3rd
avenue. Prominent speakers will be
present including:
Forrest Bailey, secretary Civil
Liberties Union; Ben Gitlow, w. P. of
America; Joseph Brodsky, Interna-
tional Labor Defense; DR.. Carlo
Fama; Carlo Tresca, editor II Mar
telo; Pietro Allegro, secretary Anti
Fascist Alliance of America; Arturo
di Pietro, editor II Nuovo Monde;
Enea Sormenti, editor II Lavaratore;
Arturo Giovannitti, Italian Chamber
of Labor of New York.

Particular mention is made Of the
Chinese revolution and its probable
effect on the Hindoo masses. The
British government blames the Soviet
government for speeches delivered by
prominent citizens Of the country on
the subject of British oppression in
India, Egypt and China.
May Break Relations.
Chamberlain's note threatened a
rupture of commercial and diplomatic
relations between the two govern
ments.
So flimsy an excuse for a threaten
ed break has never been given before
in the opinion of progressive labor
leaders. The speeches of Bukharin
and other leaders Of the Communist
Party of the Soviet Union have been
given governmental status in Cham
berlain's notes though members of the
British cabinet deliver week end
speeches against the Soviet govern
ment without irritating Soviet nerves.
British Conspiracies.
The note declares that the Soviet
government suffers from a delusion
that Britain is continually plotting
against the Union and is melting
Poland and other border states into
hostile action. It is a well-known
fact that Great Britain was behind
Pilsudski's coup and back of the -

SLAMS into HOnan and to have
attacked WI Pei Flu.
Where Is General WI?
Many reports are in circulation to-
day as to WI Pei Flu. One is to the
effect that he has fled to the noun
tains while another declares he has
gone over to the Cantonese.
In Shanghai the situation is still re-
garded as serious. 1t now develops
that the shells dropped on the city yes
tcrday came from two gunboats which
went over to the Cantonese and their
firing was only ended when two
French gunboats drew alongside them
and threatened to sink them unless
they held their fire.
The greatest menace appears to be
from thousand or more disorganized
troops of Sun Chuan Fang who are
roaming about the outskirts of the
international settlement.
Agitation Intensified.
Agitation in the native city is in
tensified today, although beheadings
have ceased.
Some 10000 mill workers returned
to their work today, but it is estimated
that there are still some $4,000 idle.
Laborers who were incensed over
beheadings attacked the Chapel Po-
lice Station, killing one constable and
injuring another. Two of the work
ers were arrested and will probably
be executed tomorrow.
Three student open air lecturers
and five nationalist recruiting agents
were arrested and held today.
There is a total disregard for mill
tary restrictions in the native city and
the military have been forced to move
the heads from exhibition, as the re-
suit of violent agitation against exc
cutions.
Mail was available today to those
who called at the post-office and full
resumption of the postal service is
promised for tomorrow.
Support For Cantonese.
Sun Chuan Fang is reported flee
ing TO Japan with control Of Shang-
hal passing to Chang Tso Lin.
Kashing, considered the last
stronghold of Sun Chuan Fang, has
fallen and the advance of the Can
tonese on Shanghai can hardly be
stopped now, except by a miracle it
is believed here.

The people of Porto Rico, altho

EVEN capitalist correspondents in
II China were forced to denounce the
reign of terror turned loose in Shang-
hal by the minions of Sun Chuan-
Fang on the workers who went on
strike to celebrate the victory of the
revolutionary nationalist government
over the militarists. Headsmen with
heavy swords marched through the
streets and picked their victims in
discriminatory. Heads were chopped
off without even the semblance of a
trial. The horror of the thing defies
description. And the blame for the
barbarities rests on the shoulders of
the foreign imperialists.
The militarists will pay through the
nose for the Shanghai slaughter. The
wave of resentment that went up all
over China will sweep the gang of
native militarist murderers off the
earth and their imperialist pay
masters out of China. If the revolu-
tionary government had beheaded half
a dozen tuchuns who have been per-
scouting the people for centuries what
a yelp would go up from the capt.
talist press.
YOUNG ED" Wilson, son of one of
L Chicago's packing magnates, is

much he finds in his pay check on

working conditions are the same as
those of the less noted slaves that
toll in Packingtown during the day
time. When he leaves his working
clothes behind him at the end of the
days work, he steps into limousine
and burns up the gas.
Every once in while scion Of our
financial aristocracy is presented Ia
the working class in the role of a
toiler. It makes a good story and
since people have short memories the
millionaire wage slave can be in Palm

MOSCOW, Feb. 23.-Those differ

disarmament proposals of President
Coolidge to fail viii make it difficult

COmmissar of War Voroshiloff in a
speech today, celebrating the ninth
anniversary of the Red Army.
"The Red Army enters its tenth
year with an highly electrified inter-
national atmosphere" said Voroshil-
off. "This would be depressing if it
were not for the fact that we have
Improved the efficiency Of the staff
and line and strengthened the air
fleet, added division of reserve cav
airy and brought military industry
near the pre-war level. We have de-
veloped excellent artillery and extra
ordinarily good machine-guns. We
have invented a marvellous small
calibre rifle and have achieved success
in building our own defenses and our
own anti-gas weapons"
= Small Navy But Good,
Admiral Malkevitch reports that
the Red navy tonnage is now 80 per
cent Of the 1914 figures, while the
personnel is 40 per cent and the gen
-eral efficiency is $50 per cent
The celebrations all over Russia
were well attended by international
representatives, as we'll as by the
workers and peasants of the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics.
Warn Again America.
The speeches of those from outside
the borders of the Soviet Union show
ed that they regard the Red Army
as their army.
"In the coming days of the great
struggle of workmen, peasants and all
oppressed classes against their i'm
periahstjc oppressors, the American
bourgeoisie will be among our most
dangerous enemies, says a statement
published over the name of an Amer
lean, Duncan. representing the work
ers of the United States.
Surrounded by Plots. -
The newspapers are full of facts
showing the continued progress Of
anti-Soviet plots engineered by Rus
sian whiteguards abroad, in agreement
with oil and other business men. At
the same time, the peaceful inten-
tons of the Soviet Union are en-
phasized.
Small Expenditure.
Despite its high state of efficiency,
the Red Army takes up an inconceiv-
ably small percentage of the total in
come of the state, as measured by the
standards of militaristic nations like
England, France, or the United States
OF America.
The budget this year calls for only
$346,000,000 for national defense,
which is an increase of only S44.-
100000 more than in 1925, and is all
together only fourteen per cent of
the entire budget. Even this increase
is used, not for making more arma-
ment, nor recruiting more soldiers,
but for improving the comfort and
cultural possibilities of the private
soldiers.
This moderate expenditure allowed
for the Red Army and Navy is all
the protection that can be spared at
present for population which &C.
cording to the last census was 1885,
100000.
