Anti-Imperial Lecture
at Workers School

Louis Gibarti, representative in
the United States of the Interna-
tional League Against Imperialism
and for National Independence,
will be the speaker at the Workers
School Forum, 1928 Union Square,
this Sunday evening, May 5, at
p. m. on the subject, "The Interna-
tional Struggle Against Imperial
ism and the Coming World Anti
Imperialist Conference in Paris"
The coming Anti-Imperialist Con-
ference in Paris is remarkable
step forward for the world anti-im-
perialist movement and takes place
at time when great struggles are
taking place. With strike in
volving over 100000 workers in
Bombay, the capturing of many
towns by the workers and Peasants
Armies in China, with great strikes
taking place in Germany, France
and the United States, and in view
of the role of American imperial
ism with its increasing attempts to
segregate the colonial peoples, es-
pecially the Latin-American peo-
pies, a thorough understand of the
detectives of the coming World Con-
ference and the part that the ALL
American Anti-Imperialist League
of America must play. 1t is neces-
sary that American workers inten-
sify the struggle against American
Imperialism.

special body to care for foreign
travellers. This was called Sovtorg-
flot, the composite name for the
Soviet Fleet Organization.
With the aid of Sovtorgflot, World
Tourists in its second season more
than doubled it's business. 269 tour
lists saw Russia that season. These
tourist travellers came back with
tales all at variance with the in
spired propaganda yarns appearing
in the press. Food was plentiful,
and the workers controlled industry.
During the second season two spe-
cial parties left America to take
part in the November celebration of
the Revolution. When these groups
came back from Russia they were
able to effectively nail another lie;
the one about Russia being governed
by a cruel personal dictatorship.
They had seen one million armed
Moscow workers march past. And
they knew that dictatorship of the
Mussolini sort is impossible in a
land where the workers are armed.
Early in July this year a special
group will leave New York under
the direction of DR.. Joshua Kunitz,
who was editor of "Azure Cities'
which ran serially in the Daily
Worker. The group will take a spe-
cial interest in things cultural and
educational while they are in the
Soviet Union.
Of course, the success which
crowned the efforts of World Tour
lists under the management of
Milton Goodman, it's executive direc-
tor, soon brought other organiza-
lions into the field. But it is well
to remember that World Tourists is
the pioneer Russian tourist agency
and that through its efforts the pop
ularization of Russia as a tourist
country was achieved.

results in the improvement in the
work of the Leagues in the various
strikes, especially the Ruhr lockout,
and in ideologically preparing the
Communist Youth Leagues to firm
ly defend the line of the Comintern
against all right wing and concilia-
tory tendencies which have express
ed themselves in the various sec
tions, in the failure to appreciate
the increasingly favorable situation
for building the Communist move
ment and in resistance to necessary
new course for direct leadership of
the workers against reformist be-
trayals.
Comrade Herbert Fam, the ma
tional secretary of the League then
reported for the National Execu-
tive Committee. He explained the
world situation in connection with
the war danger. Especially in the
present period when the war dan
ger is so great must the League be
prepared to turn the corner to the
new line of the CT and the CYL so
that the League may be able to
carry thru it's work and assume
leadership of the struggles of young
workers against naturalization and
against war.
"The biggest shortening at the
present time is the fractional strug-
gle which has no political base. The
struggle in the League was closely
connected with the fractional strug-
gle in the Party and was not based
on any basic political differences on
youth questions. During the past
period the League succeeded in in
creasing its membership and i'm
proving its activity.
eve have, however, lost many
units in the basic industries as the
result of our defeats in these in
dustries. The League life is as yet
not sufficiently interesting, not
adopted to the needs of the young
workers both inside and outside of
the League. We have too great
percentage of students and too few
workers in large factories. The
work of the districts while having
improved during the past year has
not improved sufficiently. Glasses
and schools should be established in
order to increase the political un-
Outstanding of the membership. Only
a very small percentage of the mem
bership is now in shop nuclei. The
Party must become the real politi-
cal leader of the League not only
in center but also in the districts
and units.
'The League must carry on a
struggle against the right. danger
not only in it's own ranks but must
also help the Party in it's fight"
The convention met on Tuesday
morning to begin discussion on the
reports.

FINGERPRINT her
Distributed NJ ay Day
Leaflets In Phila.

PHILADELPHIA, April So
Shirley Hyman, member of the
Young Pioneers was arrested here
yesterday for distributing leaflets
for the May Day Demonstration.
All May Day leaflets were con-
fiscated by the police, who also took
away every leaflet from the other
Young Pioneers accompanying
Shirley.
Shirley was treated by the police
like regular criminal and altho
born IN Philadelphia, was told to
go back to Russia" She was then
fingerprinted and photographed for
the rogues' gallery, after which the
police attempted to intimidate Shir-
ley, and make her feel as tho she
were a dyed-in-the-wool criminal.
Failing in this the police put Shirley
in solitary confinement.
The International Labor Defense
bailed Shirley out and she will be
tried in court.
The police stated they will arrest
anyone giving out the Young
Pioneer May Day Leaflets. Dis
tribution of these leaflets will con-
tinue however and the International
Labor Defense will defend anyone
arrested.
The police also threatened to break
up the meeting advertised in the
leaflet.

World Tourists TO Celebrate
Third Anniversary Today

Three years ago World Tourists
first came into existence. Prior to
that time it had been almost impos-
sible for foreign travellers to enter
the Soviet Union. At that time re-
quests to visit the first workers and
peasants republic were so insistent
that an agency was established to
handle the numerous enquiries of
those anxious to visit revolutionary
Russia. On about May LIST, an ap-
propriate day, World Tourists start
ed work.
For years before the formation of
World Tourists, the press in this
country was flooded land still is for
that matter) with violent anti-Soviet
propaganda. Newspaper stories pic
tured Russia in the throes, in terror,
hunger and utter degradation. One
way to combat this propaganda and
to spike the lies spread about the
Soviet Union was to make possible
the personal inspection of the Soviet
Union by American workers and
those sympathetic to the workers
cause.
AS result, the first season saw
1875 tourists from the U. S. in the
Soviet Union. Quite percentage
of this group were workers who
were born in Russia and were re-
visiting their native land. Others
were workers who spent, in many
cases, the last few hundred dollars
they had, to see with their own eyes,
the successful workers and peasants
state, the first in the history of the
world.
In order to secure the best pos
sible facilities, Vox, the Society of
Cultural Relations with Foreign
Countries, co-operated with the new
ly-organized World Tourists and as
result the first season was highly
successful. The following season

President Hoover, who took Slim
son away from his job as Governor
General of the Philippines to make
him secretary of state, has been
noted as an enemy of workers or

Hoover More Cautious.
Hoover no longer makes the mis-
take of referring to the union of
Socialist Soviet Republics as "an
economic vacuum" as he did in his
early days as secretary of COM
merce. But if Stimson speaks for
Hoover now, he still hates it as
much as ever.
Meanwhile economic pressure
