The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-17
We ARE THREATENEpl


Dear Editor.--I do not think that
children to read. The United States
sends their troops to gain law and
order, not to make money. President
Coolidge and capitalists are not
clowns. Instead Of saying down with
the "Spirit of st. Louis" we shall say
"hurrah for the Spirit Of st. Louis"
Do not say anything against the
christians and the U. S. if you are
citizens Of the U. S. of America. Do
not forget that god fearing people are
the best. The foreigners came to
America to earn living here. They
are getting enough wages to support
their families. Most of the foreign
countries do not give enough to sup
port one man.
Down with the red flag, hurrah for
the capitalists, the U. S. and the
christians. Put this in the paper why
don't you? Afraid, aren't you?
UNKNOWN.
Editors Note.--We are printing
the above letter in the Young Com
rade Corner in order to show our read
ers to what extent the public schools
poison the minds of children. The
child who wrote this letter and was
afraid to sign it, is undoubtedly a
workers child. Just glance at her
original letter is sufficient to prove
that. The handwriting, the misspell-
ing of simple words, and the general
construction of the letter conclusively
prove that he Il think) or she had
no private tutor as is generally the
case with rich children. Now as to
her arguments. The first one about
the United States sending troops to
maintain law and order. Only an ig-
norant child or one that has been COM
pIetely poisoned by the patriotic bunk
of the American bosses schools would
not know that to maintain law and
order" means to suppress and Cypress
the people of weaker countries in or
der to enslave them to the American
capitalists. This was done in the
Philippines, Hawaii, China and Mica
xagua quite recently. To see how silly
this argument really is can be easily
understood by reversing the question.
That Is, "Should not Nicaragua or
any other country send troops to this
country to maintain law and order
whenever they desire?" The answer
to this question should be sufficient
to answer the argument. Unknown"
defends the capitalists and Coolidge.
He says that they are not clowns. We
did not say that they were clowns, but
we did say and still say that they are
enemies of the workers, and that is
the important thing for us to know.
We did say that Will Rogers is a
clown, and he does all his clowning to
benefit and help not the workers, but
the capitalists. That is why he too
is an enemy, and so is Lindbergh,
who does all his flying to help the
capitalists to lure the young Amer
lean workers into the army and navy
in order to crush all resistance of
workers, at home or abroad, against
the tyranny of the American dollar.
That Is what Lindbergh is helping to
do and that is why we say "Down
With the st. Louis"
"God-fearing people are the best"
We do not agree with that, because
god-fearing people too many times
are willing to suffer all kinds of in
justice on earth, without complaining
or fighting back. They are satisfied
to wait for their pie-in-the -sky-when-
they-die. Enough for that.
"They are getting enough wages to
support their families" Now this
statement is an insult to the working
class. It really means that the work
ers of this country have no reason
