The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-07-04


Is to clarity to the Finnish population on this
continent the terrorist situation under which
the working class of Finland lives today.
Everywhere where there are Finnish work
ers and farmers, have to organize protest
meetings, where protest resolutions should be
adopted against the fascist regime of Finland
These resolutions must also be sent to the gov
eminent of Finland. In the picnics and fes.
rivals arranged for this summer season bv
Finnish workers organizations, this matter
must be discussed, clarified and protest reso-
buttons adopted.
Fight Fascist Agents Here!
These attacks on the workers of Finland are
directly our concern. All kinds of agents of
the Finnish fascists and their speakers are
making their appearance in our midst on this
continent. The butcher government of White
Finland would like to drag US, too in the
same net into which the social-democrats of
Finland and their aids, the followers of Wal
lari" have al eady fallen.
The white papers published here, their
churches and consulates and all other agents
of the white butchers are persstently carrying
on anti-working class activity in our midst
And in some places we must even record their
success. For instance in the new workers"
hall enterprise in Chicago. the agents of the
drawing in even some working class elements
Again. they have under way a proposition
to organize new Finnish organization in New
York, which declares, as its first task to make
the American Firms support financially the
bankrupt white butchers system in Finland
and as its second task t, help the American
government in its persecution of the Commu
mist Party and other revolutionary organiza-
tions of workers.
Finland to Attack Soviet
Furthermore, we must not for a minute lose
from our sight the fact that fascist Finland
is an integral part of the system of buffer
states organized by the imperialists of the
world against the Soviet Union; nor the fact
that White Finland has, ever since its birth
been living on the loans of the imperialists of
the U. S. A. and Great Britain.
1t is no secret that finance-capitalism of
foreign countries has acquired, through invest
ments, the controlling portion of all important
industries in Finland. Under the slogan of
"Great Finland" and with distinct imperialist
aspirations, the Finnish bourgeoisie is prepar-
ing for an armed attack against the Soviet
Union, thus carrying out its role of a lackey
of world imperialism.
And exactly now, when the severe economic
crisis in this third period of postwar capital
ism has driven the economic system of White
Finland into veritable bankruptcy; when the
working class is faced with mass unemploy-
ment and suffering severely; when the small
farmers are en- mass being driven into bank
ruptcy under the abnormally growing taxation,
due to the ever increasing military prepara-
ton; when distinct fermentation is to be noted
amongst the working masses as reaction to
the ever deepening economic crises under
these conditions the white bourgeoisie is mob
ilizing its fascist cohorts and its notorious
"okhrana" to squelch this resentment with
brutal violence, and to take decisive steps to
make its rear safe in the planned armed at
tack against the Soviet Union
1t is our dut. to rise in an energetic str11g-
gle against the manipulations of the Finnish
whites in our midst here, against the brutal
terror exercised against the working class of
Finland and against the vicious war prepare
lions against the Soviet Union. In the protest
meetings mentioned above, it is our duty to
fight back this black conspiracy and merci-
lessly to expose Raivaaja, Sulkanen Halonen
and all other social fascists as the supporters
and defenders of the white butcher system of
Finland, as covert hirelings of Imperialism
Comrades We must not quietly pass over
the terror acts of Finland, nor the black con-
splracy OF their supporters on this continent
1t is our duty now, as a great, compact mass
az OAAIiSIldHo LlSH anu women, 10 raise our
voices of protest against the brutal class op-
preston directed against the working class in
Finland
1t would be impossible for the working class
of Finland, which during the recent years has
gone through hard experiences, ever to for
give US, if we here would fall in the traps set
out by the lackeys of the white butchers of
Finland, and if we in any form would support
their conspiracy, or if we would show indiffer-
ence towards their dirty activities
Not cent from this country for the sup
port of the white butchers of Finland nor to
their supporters in this country! Let us be
clear, that even every little help given them
will turn into nail in the coffin of the work.
ing class of Finland! The cause of the work
ing class of Finland is our cause as well as
the cause of the entire proletariat of the world!
Comrades, workers and poor farmers! The
Finnish Bureav of the Communist Party of
the U.S.A. calls upon you, without delay to
rise IN struggle against the white butcher re-
gime of Finland Our participation in the
struggle will promote solidarity amongst our
comrades in Finland and will encourage them
to keep on struggling even in difficult stua-
lions against our mutual class enemies, until
with united forces we will be able to overthrow
the yoke of capitalism.
In spite of all prosecutions and all the terror
practiced by the white butchers of Finland
the Communist Party lives and acts in Fin
land and with confidence, we may assert that
