s Must Defend U. s. S. r.
With the election campaign now
going into its last stage, the issues
that face the workers today will
be brought more and more to the
forefront. Chief of these is the
danger of another imperialist war
which looms ominously on the hori-
ION. Already the great imperialist
powers are in the skirmishing stage
on the diplomatic field, the rivalry
between the United States and
Great Britain making it crystal
clear that those two mighty molochs
of world imperialism are preparing
to drench the human race in another
deluge of blood, in their struggle
for world supremacy.
But as the Communist election
platform points out, much though
the robber powers hate one another
as result of their struggle over
spoils, there is one hate that is COM
mon to all of them and that is their
hatred of the Soviet Union, a
nucleus of Communist states grow
ing uD in the midst of capitalist
world. There can be no compromise
between the two systems and the
workers of all countries must be pre-
pared to defend the first Workers
Republic in history from the savage
fury of the imperialists. The most
effective way to do this is to build
up powerful Communist Party in
every capitalist country, a party
that will link up its activities with
the struggles of the exploited the
world over, and to mobilize the
masses for the task that is ahead of
them, the historic task of overthrow
ing capitalism and establishing a
Workers and Farmers Government.

RESIST REPEAL
OF STANDARD AND
GULF CONCESSION
British Hand Seen in
Cancellation

Brandishing the United States
state department as a threat over
the Colombian government in the
recent cancellation by that govern
ment Of the Barco oil concession,
operated by the Gulf Oil Company,
and the prospective cancellation of
q concession held by the Carib Syn
dictate, a subsidiary of the Standard
Oil of New Jersey, the president of
the latter issued statement here
yesterday admonishing his business
colleagues not to be 'too pessimis-
tic"
The opening sentence of A. H.
Bunker's statement (president of
the Carib Syndicate) interprets the
act of the Colombian government as
the appropriation of the property
rights of American citizens" and in
Inmates that it is good for the we'll
being of the Latin-American coun-
try to repeal its cancellations. His
statement follows:
"The cancellation constitutes the
appropriation of property rights of
American citizens without compen-
sation, and it is not believed that the
Colombian government, in the inter
ests of the future welfare and de-
Velopment of the country, will find
it desirable to maintain the posi-
ton which it has assumed" he says.
Colombia has too much at stake in
the maintenance of friendly official
and business relations with the
United States to warrant the risk
ing of these relations by an act of
confiscation such as the cancellation
of the Barco concession would con-
stitute. For this reason it is felt
that there is no cause to view the
present situation with respect to the
Barco concession with pessimism.
The DeMares concession, now being
successfully operated by the Trop-
ical Oil Company-subsidiary of In
tcrnational Petroleum Company
has been Cancelled four times, and
as many times reinstated."

He warned them that Hutcheson
would inject other issues into the
controversy, and urged them not to
be swayed by such methods. Rosen
further exposed the deception and
dishonesty of the Hutcheson ma
chine, its strikebreaking activities,
its union, the bosses and and it's
failure to carry out the mandates
of the rank and file.
Thunderous Applause.
Thunderous applause greeted the
speech and for a moment it ap-
peared as if the progressives would
control the convention.
Rising to speak, Frank Duffy inn
mediately launched off into a DELHI
crate and most venemous Red-bait-
ing speech, which gave evidence of
having been prepared in advance.
probably with the cooperation Of
other officials of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
Duffy's speech lasted for two
hours. He quoted the decisions of
the Red International Of Labor
Unions, from the writings of Will
liam z. Foster, Communist candi-
date for president, from the Daily
Worker and from Labor Unity, the
organ Of the left wing labor move
ment. Pointing finger at Rosen,
Duffy accused him of being an
agent of the Workers (Communist)
Party and that he had come to the
convention at the orders of the Com
munists.
Shout Down Delegates.
At the height of his impassioned
and terroristic speech he shouted
that either ne or Rosen must go.
Delegates attempting to secure the
floor were shouted down as Com

Hutchinson warned Rosen to leave

At least thirty-five states will be
on the Communist ballot before the
final date for filing petitions, ac-
cording to all indications. This con-
stitutes a great achievement for the
Party which was obliged to collect
signatures in almost every state.
Approximately 100000 names were
gathered by the members of the
Party and in addition to securing
signatures valuable propaganda for
Communism was carried on in con-
nection with this work. Those ap-
preached were informed of the aims
of the Workers (Communist) Party
and the signers were left under no
illusions as to what they were sub
scribing their names to.
AS a result of the activities of
the Party in collecting signatures
many workers heard for the first
time of the program on which the
Communist Party is based and hun
dreds of new members were re-
cruited in this way.
With the task of putting the
Party on the ballot in every pos
sible state in the union almost COM
pleted, the Communist election cam
paign has now gotten into the final
stage, the stage of active campaign
ing Hundreds of speakers, ma
tional and local, are in the field
Everywhere it is reported that the
masses are in receptive mood to
the Communist message of class
struggle and the immediate pro-
gram of action of the Workers
! (Communist) Party is making a
strong impression on the workers.
Thousands Hear Candidates
The Foster and Gitlow meetings
are attended by thousands of work
ers, particularly in the industrial
centers. Even in the South where
the Communist Party is hardly
known to the workers except
through hostile references in the
capitalist press, the masses are
keenly interested and many nom
party workers are actively partici-
pating in the arrangements being
made for the Foster and Gitlow
meetings in southern cities.
The response of the Negro masses
to the Communist election campaign
shows clearly that those doubly ex-
plotted and prosecuted workers see
for the first time way out of their
bondage and that they are gather
ing courage and preparing to or
ganize for the struggle against
capitalism and all the capitalist
nourished prejudices that have made
their lives torture for them
The white workers, also the vic
Tins of the religious, racial and color
prejudices that the bourgeoisie fos-

TOO TRUE.

Things political here are in good shape except that we are in a ter rib]e mess over city affairs. Too many of our "good" citizens are s" good that they will not soil their hands with politics; or else are so cowardly that they will not make a fight lest they get beaten-or perhaps lose a nickel's worth of trade.
 "Considering how very few mon will refuse to go to war, it is one of tEe anomolies of life that so mary will refuse to take part in trying to secure good government, and thus prevent wars--but so it is.'
 The above is taken from a letter jrst received.

been reactionaries. These men al- ways oppose the people having the opportunity of writing and express ing their will in effective legislation In Alaska these reactionaries have fought them openly and secretly and effectively.
 But the hour has come when these reactionaries must be fought openly, and possibly bitterly, to at tain the right for the people that Congress has granted them. The battle is on at the primaries and will be continued thru the Novem- Der election and during the ninth Legislative session. The enemy must be properly and severely skotch- ed. No longer can they be allowed to dominate in Territorial affairs. Too long have they held sway, in the words of Scott:
 The good old rule
 Sufficeth them-the simple plan That they should take who have
 the power,
 And they should keep who can.

THE FIGHT TO SEAT FRAME
 After Frames election, Governor Scott c. Bone entered into a con- spiracy with George Sexton, L. V. Ray, and others to elect George Sex ton as National Committeeman i'll place of Frame who had been elect ed by the people of Alaska.
 Sexton went south to the conven- tion on the steamer Yukon. I was on my way to Rake and other points on business travelling in my gas boat, and was in PETERSBURG about to leave for Rake when I got a wire from my brother Louis at Wrangell. He said that John Rust gard had wired him to find me at any cost, board the Yukon and try to persuade Sexton to stand by the people of Alaska.
 I at once changed by plans and rushed to Wrangell, left my boat. boarded the Yukon and paid my own fare. I interviewed Sexton without success.
 URGES FRAME TO CONVENTION
 got 70 Ketchikan and at once revealed to Frame the plot and urg- ed him to go to Cleveland and fight for his seat IN PERSON. He told me he had no money. I OFFERED TO FINANCE HIS TRIP to the ex- tent of $250. which was more than HALF my bank balance at that time. Peter Gilmore offered to raise $25O. additional from Republicans. Frame REFUSED, but he took $90. from me and with my money wired his contest. Later he repaid the money to me.
 FRAME GOES TO WASHINGTON
 Frame sold some of the 80 mining claims which he had staked in his office at Hyder while U. S. Commits sioner, and went to Washington. La~ ter he made a trip from Washing to Seattle where he collected more than FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS largely from a certain group of Kotchikan citizens who were SUD- porting Sandy Levy for CHIEF DE- PUTY MARSHAL at Ketchikan. At that time, Frame asked Senator Forest J. Hunt to endorse Levy's application. Hunt refused because Levy was reputed to be bootleg

Wlllldlll L. I dul VG] Why I Broke with John Frame In the campaign of 1924, I SUD- ported John w. Frame then a candl- date for Republican National Com mitteeman, and thru my support Frame was elected to that position Why did I support him then and fight him now?
 He came to me in 1924 because he thought I would oppose him because he was supporting Valen- tine for governor. (By the way Frame was we'll paid by Valentino, I asked him What is your plat, form? What do you intend to do if you are elected?"
 FRAMES ANSWER
 Frame answered "If I am elect ed, I intend to fade out of the picture and allow Dan Sutherland to be the whole thing"
 I then said; "You could not suit me better On that condition I will urge your election"
 THE 1924 SLATE"
 The ALASKA FISHERMAN then put John w. Frame on the sO-calleG Paul ticket /" Frame now calls the FISHERMAN slate a "musolinic ticket" and an "O'Malley edict."
 THE RESULT
 The result was that Frame got the Indian vote (about SOO) and was elected by bare 25O votes over Arthur Frame.
 THE BETRAYAL
 All of the Sutherland supporters pledged to oppose CARPET-BAG- GERS. Our slogan was ALASKA FOR ALASKANS. This became the slogan of the UNITED SONS OF ALASKA organized in 1927 by John Frame.
 But EVEN BEFORE FRAME WAS ELECTED NATIONAL CON- WATERMAN in 1924, JOHN FRAME HAD MADE A SECRET DEAL WITH AL WHITE of Idaho and CURLEY LOWELL of Yakima, Washington, to support them for Marshal in the First and Fourth Divisions respectively.
