The death of Haywood was not un-
expected. The declining health of the
old fighter was known to his friends
for a long time. On each visit to
Moscow in recent years which our
Party work necessitated we noted the
progressive weakening of his physical
powers and learned of the repeated
attacks of the fatal disease which
finally brought him down. Our
anxious inquiries during the past
month, occasioned by the newspaper
reports of his illness, only brought the
response that his recovery this time
could not be expected. Nevertheless
we could not abandon the hope that
his fighting spirit and his will to live
would pull him through again and the
news that death had triumphed in the
unequal struggle brought shock of
grief.
A Soldier to the Last.
The death of Haywood is a double
blow to those who were at once his
comrades in the fight and his personal
friends, for his character was such
as to invest personal relations with
an extraordinary dignity and impor-
lance. His great significance for the
American and world slabor movement
was also fully appreciated, think,
both by our Party and by the Com
munist International, in the ranks of
which he ended his career, a soldier
to the last.
An outstanding personality and
leader of the pre-war revolutionary
labor movement in America and also
member and leader of the modern
Communist movement which grew up
on its foundation, Bill Haywood rep
resented connecting link which help
ed to establish continuity between the
old movement and the new. Grow
ing out of the soil of America, or bet
ter, hewn out of it's rocks, he first
entered the labor movement as a
pioneer unionist of the formative days
of the Western Federation of Miners
thirty years ago. From that start
ing point he bent his course toward
the conscious class struggle and
marched consistently on that path to
the end of his life. He died a Com
munist and a soldier of the Commu-
mist International.
Wrote Memoirs.
1t is great fortune for our Party
that he finished his memoirs and that
they are soon to be published. They
constitute a record of the class strug-
gle and of the labor movement in
America of priceless value for the
present generation of labor militants

with the stormy events which have
marked the course of working class

and resource developments remained
in the hands of the Japanese.
Again in the Washington Treaty
|of 1922, Japan promised to respect
the sovereignty, the independence,
and the territorial and administrative
integrity of China" and to preserve
the Open Door in Manchuria-that is,
to allow British and American bust
ness men the same rights in Man

business men.
The promise was a diplomatic
joke.

Japan has served notice that neith-
er the armies of the Manchurian

armies of the Nationalist Chang Kai

who are already in Manchuria plus as
many more as are necessary to do

"The Japanese government attaches

A CORRECTION

The appeal to American workers
against Japanese imperialism which
appeared in yesterdays issue of The,
DAILY WORKER was issued by the
New York Branch of the Alliance to
Support Chinese Workers-P Peasants
Revolution. The manifesto of the or.
ganization printed in an earlier issue
only appeared in part because of lin
itation of space. The manifesto de-
nounced the Kuomintang as an imper-
ialist tool and the murderer of the

time. of revolutionary work, he was
given the status of ian old party
member highest honor anyone
can enjoy in the land of Workers
Triumph.
AS everyone knows, Haywood in
his time had been prisoner in many
jails and, like all men who have smelt
iron, he was keenly sensitive to the
interests of revolutionaries who suf-
fer this erucifixion He attached the
utmost Importance to the work of
labor defense and was one of the
founders of the l. L. D. He con-
tributed many ideas to its formation
and remained an enthusiastic supper
ter right up to his death. What is
very probably his last message to the
workers of America, written just be-
fore he was stricken the last time, is
contained in letter which is being
published in the June number of the
Labor Defender now on the press.
AS a leader of the workers in open
struggle Haywood was fighter the
like of which is all too seldom seen.
He loved the laboring masses and was
remarkably free from all prejudices
of craft or race or nationality. In
battle with the class enemies of the
workers he was a raging lion, relent-
less and irreconcilable.
His field was the open fight and in
mass strikes his powers unfolded and
multiplied themselves. Endowed with
a giants physique and an absolute
disregard of personal hazards, he
pulled the striking workers to him as
to magnet and impaired to them his
own courage and spirit.
Akron Strike.
/ remember especially his arrival
at Akron during the great rubber
workers strike of 1913 when ten thou
sand strikers met him at the station
and marched behind him to the Hall.
His speech that morning has always
stood out in my mind as a model of
working class oratory. With his COM
handing presence and his great mel
low voice he held the vast crowd in
his power from the moment that he
rose to speak. He had that gift, all
too rare, of using only the necessary
words and of COMPRISING his
thoughts into short, epigrammatic
sentences. He clarified his points with
homely illustrations and pungent wit
ticisms which rocked the audience
with understanding laughter. He
poured out sarcasm, ridicule and de-
nunciation upon the employers and
their pretensions and made the work
ers feel with him that they, the work
ers, were the important and neces-
sary people. He closed, as he always
did, on note of hope and struggle,
with a picture of the final victory of
the workers. Every word from be-

The passing of leadership in CAPT
talist imperialism from Great Britain
to the United States is reflected in a
U. S. department of commerce survey
Of foreign lending by American and
British capitalists since 1920. Ac-
cording to the departments statistics
the Americans have underwritten
foreign securities in the Swear period
to the extend of $6,836, 100000 while
it quotes the Midland Bank as placing
the British total at $4,121, 100000.
Perhaps even more significant evil
dence of the extension of capitalist
power over the workers of the world
is the figure showing total capital
issues, domestic as we'll as foreign. On
this basis the balance in favor of the
United States appears overwhelming.
New capital issues in the United
States, from 1920 to 1927 reached the
amazing total of Sal, $3.50, 900, 900, COM
pared with total of $9,023, 100000
underwritten by English bankers.
Capitalist Super-PrOfits
A 5 per cent return on the new
securities sold in the United States
in these 8 years alone would provide
the capitalist class with an annual in
come of more than $2,000,000,000.
Foreign securities underwritten in
the United States have always repre-
scented relatively small proportion of
the total capital issues of any one
year, amounting to a little over 16
per cent of the total for the Swear
period. On the other hand from 1921
