With the news coming through
from Moscow. it becomes clearer
every day that the murder of Com

Arcos in London and the breaking of
Of the Soviet English relations.
British imperialism, facing severe
losses in foreign markets and the ris-
ing Of its colonial peoples in many
places, and seeing before it the doom
Of the British Empire, is riding head
long toward the world war.
The masses Of the Soviet Union
have demonstrated more than once
that they are determined to prevent
a war if at all possible but one must
not mistake this desire for peace on
the part Of the Soviet Union for do

ITALIAN LABOR
HONOR MEMORY
OF C. MATTEOTI

The memory of Matteoti, the anti
fascist member Of the Italian Cham
Der of Deputies who was foully muir
dered three years ago by the direct
tools of Mussolini, brought hundreds
Of workers to the Church of All Ma
tons, 9 Second Ave, yesterday after
noon where meeting was held by
the Anti-Fascist Alliance of North
America.
Enea Sormenti, we'll known Com
munist leader among the Italian
workers, did not speak having been
deported from this country on Satur-
day.
H. M. Wicks, editor of The DAILY
WORKER, said:
"Mussolini's regime is the blacklist
the world has ever seen. Waded to
power through rivers of blood shed by
the flower of the working class in
combating his mercenaries. A few
days ago before the chamber of depu-
ties, this monster boasted that he
would build an army Of five million.
He doesn't dare attempt an army Of
a million. No despot dares arm his
enemies. If Mussolini arms any ap-
preciable number Of the population Of
Italy they will turn their guns upon
fascism and drown it in its own
blood.
Zone of the best ways to fight
Mussolini fascism in America is to
join the militant section Of the labor
movement here and help stifle the
American brand as represented by the
VOLS, McGradys, Fraynes, Sigmans
and other reactionaries who are US
ing fascist tactics against labor here
while condemning it in Italy"
Other speakers were Carlo Tresca
and Francisco Coco in Italian.

pays the premiums for these bonds ?
We imagine that the officials to whom
you are writing would be interested
in the answers to these questions.
"You gentlemen claim to represent

assertion. We have repeatedly urged
upon you to hold referendum Of all

officers Of the Joint Board are such.
You have failed to heed this request.
Why? We now renew this challenge.
The Red Herring.
"You have proclaimed that the is
sue is one of Communism versus
Americanism. We declare that this
is not the issue at all, and that you
have deliberately injected this issue
in order to conceal the arbitrary, un-
constitutional, and Fascist methods
that you are employing against the
New York fur workers. No camou-
flage emanating from you can con-
ceal the fact that the fur workers
are striking because the Associated
Fur Manufacturers have broken the
contract that they signed with the
representatives Of the New York
Joint Board on June IL, 1926; and be-
cause the Associated Fur Manufac-
turers seek to force upon the fur
workers representatives whom the
fur workers have time and again re-
pudiated.

When | was presented as the speak
er following Steklov, I was greeted
with the usual abundance Of enthusi-
asm that greets a Communist from
America. told Of the development
of our press in the United States, of
our many foreign-language publica-
tons as well as our English-language
party organ, The DAILY WORKER.
l reviewed the great problems con-
fronting the revolutionary workers in
America in their struggles against
American imperialism, and of the role
that our American Communist Press
plays in developing these struggles.
Then | extended the greetings of our
Workers (Communist) Party and Of
the readers of The DAILY WORKER,
not only to the students gathered here
in their demonstration in their own
university, but also to the Pravda,
thru its editor, that is celebrating its
18th anniversary this Press Week,
having been established in 1912.
Then the oldest editor of The PRAY
da spoke. He was given tremendous
ovation. Every honor is accorded the
veterans of the Communist Movement
here by the youth growing up under
the new conditions brought about by
the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
When the veterans tell of the strug-
giles that were waged under czarism,
the new generation listens with deep
est interest.
So they listened now as they heard
of the efforts to establish and build
the revolutionary press in the days
when illegality was nearly always the
lot of the workers publications. They
We're told Of the efforts that were put
forth to get the party publications
past the police, to carry the revofu-

spite Of the censorship.
Then another editor took up the
story of the present Pravda from its
first day, thru the period Of the world
war and the February and October
revolutions of 1917, and down to the
present time.
1t was after the speaking had fin
ished that the resolutions were offer
ed. The first was a greeting to the
Pravda, and to the Communist press
generally. 1t was stated that the reso-
luton was based on the address of
