Do 1t Early!

There are ninety-four working class prisoners,
we are informed, on the list of the International
Labor Defense, which states it is sending them
SIS a month, and $40 70 the families of those
who have them and are dependent on them. All
of which is good thing and should be aided
A campaign for winter relief is being made
which also deserves support.
But there are two things we object to. One is
that this column be constantly solicited to serve
as an advertising medium for this that and the
other commendable enterprise There are too
many enterprises, and if we yield to one the
whole tribe pours in.
The second is, that in the letter from the
I. L. D. it is said:
During this great Christmas season, wouldn't
it be possible to mention a few words in your
columns" etc. Now what is particularly great"
about this Christmas season, or any other Christi
mas season, we fail to comprehend. If the bibli-
cal angels at the doorway would roll away the
stone and free our class brothers in prison. then
we might feel cause for celebration But barring
this, we see no more reason for the l.. L. D. to
get ecstacies over Christmas than for our Jew.

A Tale of Two Lands
Bv JORGE

Once upon time there was a country so
powerful that it felt sorry for the people living
in another country because they were SO very
unfortunate So, in this strong country which
we will call "a" the papers were filled with
lamentations over the conditions in the other
country, which we will call "R"
Daily, there were columns by the highest paid
writer's to show how miserable the workers OF
"F2' were, where nobody was allowed to sell ap-
pies on the street corners and everybody had a
job at union wages, and labor was forced; yes.
sir! forced to work no longer than seven hours
a day, and compelled to rest every fifth day.
In that miserable country r." sick workers
were also compelled to accept free medical treat
ment and vacations with pay, sometimes even
forced to do absolutely nothing but rest and
lay about and eat and battle at summer resorts
or in the mountains. An awful country where
everybody able to work was supposed to- and
capitalists were scarce as hens teeth.
The journalists in country "a" shed many
tears and barrels of ink over country r. tell
ing how the government of "R" was expected
to fall" because it was hated by the masses
for running their capitalists and landlords ragged
and actually killing real emperor especially
when emperors were so scarce, thus Sharpen-
ing the emperor shortage).
In addition the papers in country "a" told
often and in great detail how extremely shaky'
was the government of "R" because, said the
wise men of "a" the financial system of "R"
is terribly inflated" 1t was sure to crumble"
and, of course, soon" These wise men could
hardly conceal their sorrow"
True in "a" things were temporarily not SO
good. The stupid workers who had no jobs
simply refused to buy things the stores were
full Of even when a Great Engineer who didn't
know an engine from hand-car told them it
was all psychological and that in sixty days"
they would forget it.
Here" said the wise men, things are bas1cally
sound. Our banking system is crisis proof and
there is no real depression. Look at the money
in the banksl The fool workers are sitting on
their savings and not spending, What we must
do is start Buy Now campaign
So they did But when the workers went to
the banks to get their savings out to Buy Now
they found sign ON the door and bunch of
cops to chase 'em away. In thepapers they read
that some other bankers were SO ind-hearted
that they would lend the workers with deposits
SO per cent of what they had in the banks il
the workers would promise to pay it back with
five per cent interest.
Such magnanimity was touching. And after
making as much of this as possible, the papers
were thankful that they had scandal stories
about how weak the finances of "R" were, SO
they could play this up and make believe that
everything was alright in "a"

against all opposition, open and concealed, to
that line.
The answer to the slogans of the right wing
opposition and the newly formed "left-right"
bloc, in face of the growing intervention moves
of the world bourgeoisie, is the line of the Cen
trail Committee of the CPSU as expressed by
Comrade Stain: 'In order to crush the resis-
lance of the class enemies and to overcome the
difficuties-there exists only one method-to
organize the offensive along the entire front
against the capitalist elements to isolate the
opportunist elements in our own ranks those
who interfere with our offensive, who run in
panic from one extreme to the other and bring
into the Party lack of confidence in our victory"
The Political Bureau of the &C CPUSA ap-
proves the organizational steps taken by the
CPSU against the unprincpled factonal OPPOSE
ton, and calls upon all members of the CPUSA
to theoretically struggle against all similar ten
denotes which may appear in our Party We
express our firm conviction that the entire Com
intern will resist with the greatest vigilance all
factional elements who are under the inspira-
ton Of the petty bourgeosie and of the class
enemies of the workers, and that all oppositional
tendencies directed against the correct bolshevist
line of the Comintern and of the &C CPSU will
be ruthlessy liquidated

BY SAM DON

Bismark once burted out the truth. He said:
They never lie SO much as on the eve of war;.
The old German Chancellor certainly spoke the
truth and to bring his remark up to date, we
will say: Since the old type wars were mere
plaything in comparison with the coming wars,
lying, on the part of the imperialist governments
and their capitalist statesmen, has increased
enormously, particularly in the method and
technique
The active war preparations of the leading i'm
perialist powers against the Soviet Union, are
accompanied by the most vicious slandering
campaigns against the Five-Year Plan No Won
der The success of the Five-Year Plan as de-
monstrated in the first two years of its existence,
most clearly brings out the growing well-being
of the masses in the Soviet Union as against the
growing misery of the toiling masses in the CAPT.
talist countries; the growing decay of world CAPT
talism as against the growing superiority OF the
Socialist system of production.
The trial of the eight counter-revolutionists
exposed before the whole world the intervention
schemes and war preparations of all the leading
imperialst powers, chief among them, France.
The trial also brought out some of the Difficult
ties" confronting the imperialist powers in carry
ing through their war plans. At first, they had
to postpone their original date of intervention.
which was 1925 to 1880, and finally, to 1881. The
fear that war against the Soviet Union will mean
civil war in the imperialist countries, and par
ticularly the fear before the toiling masses OF
the Soviet Union compelled them to postpone
the original date But precisely the success of the
Five-Year Plan fastened the war preparations
and 1881 was set as the real date of intervention
and war against the Soviet Union.
The trial has exposed the war preparations of
the French government to the minutest detail,
with Poncare and BRAND as the chief sponsors
of intervention. The imperialist governments
consider therefore the arrest, the trial and the
confession of the counter revolutionists as
serious blow in unmasking their war plans
against the Soviet Union. the capitalist press
therefore tries very hard to declare the trial
farce, etc. Particularly do the leading CAPT
talist nterventionists attempt through denials to
cover up their role in the war preparations and

Grocer WhaIen Is

Chief i'm Ne10 York
Beau BrummeI Resigns as
Commissioner; Walker
Picks Successor.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, May 20. - Police
Commissioner Grover Whalen re-
signed today.
The resignation of the man who
left 100000 position to head the
city's police at a salary of $4,000 a
year had been expected for some
time. Whalen handed his resigna-
ton to Mayor James j. Walker at
city hall, effective Wednesday.
Edwin P. Mulrooney, assistant
chief inspector of the police depart
ment, was named Wha1en's sue
cessor. This move was surprise, as
many had believed Mayor Walker
would not appoint a member of the
force to the place.
Failed to Nab Criminal
Whalen had been in Office seven
teen months, succeeding the late
Joseph Warren when the latter re-
signed because Of illness. Previous
to his appointment as police COM
Whalen had been a we'll
known figure here. He was chair
man of the mayors reception COM
mittee to distinguished guests, and
the turnultuous receptions
that New York gave to Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh, Queen Marie
of Rumania, and other celebrities.
He took Office with a specific
pledge that he would solve the muir
der of Arnold Rothstein, notorious
gambler, fatally wounded during
Warren's administration. Roth
STEMS slayer still is at liberty. Wha-
lens activities as commissioner in
clude the devising of traffic plan for
the congested theater district.
Communists Thorn in His Side
The chief criticism which his
have advanced against
him is his attempt to put taxicab
drivers in uniform and his handling
of Communist demonstrations. Two
Communist riots occurred in his
one resulting in Jail
for Robert Minor and
William z. Foster, leaders of the
party.
Whalen has received several deco
rations from foreign governments
because of his facility in greeting
visitors. His impeccable dress, with
a white gardenia adjoining his
lapel and top hat glistening, earned
for him the sobriquet of New
York'S best dressed policeman
Whalen indicated his intention
of returning to the John Wanna
maker store.

BALLOTS ON
DAVIS, GRUNDY
Primary on Today; Intense
Interest Marks Climax
of Bitter Campaign.
WARE IN THICK OF FRAY
Fights for Secretary of
Labor; PinChot Wages
Aggressive Battle.
BU United Press

BD United Press
PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-The
states voters cast their ballots to-
day to decide the bitter disputes
which have divided the Republican
party in Pennsylvania since the re-
fusal of the United States senate
to seat William S. Ware.
James j. Davis, secretary of la
Dor, solidly backed by Ware, has
gone before the electorate as a can
didate for the Republican senatorial
nomination in today's primary cleo
ton, challenging the strength of
Senator Joseph R. Grundy, who was
appointed to fill Wares place and
who gained fame first as a tariff
lobbyist, then as high tariff man
in the senate.
The issue of Ware against
Grundy has been complicated
further by the injection of a strong
and militant wet ticket into the
field, by Professor Francis H.
Bohlen of the University of
Pennsylvania law school, running
for the senate, and Thomas w.
Phillips for Governor.
Further, there has developed a
contest equally sharp and even more
bitter between Clifford Pinchct,
former Governor, and Francis
Skunk Brown, 72-year-old Phila-
delphia lawyer, seeking the guber-
material nomination.
Vast interest centers in the mat
ter of how much strength Grundy
can muster in Philadelphia in the
face of the opposition of the strong
ly-intrenched Ware organization;
how many votes Davis can draw in
western Pennsylvania, where w. L.
Mellon has turned the power of his
organization to Senator Grundy;
and what the independent forces
led by the aggressive Pinchot will
be able to do for their standard
bearer in the face of better organ
led opposition.

BISHOP CANNON
PreIate AbsoIved in Stock
Market Case.

BH United Press
DALLAS, Tex, May 2O.-Bishop
James Cannon Jr., of Virginia,
apologized to the representatives of
100000 Southern Methodists at.
their general conference today for
his dealings in the stock market,
acknowledging his mistake, and
promising never to make it again.
A statement generating the Vir-
ginia prelate of marginal specula-
ton on the New York stock ex-
change was scheduled to be read
to the general session today.
1t was prepared Monday night
after the episcopacy committee
rendered Bishop Cannon a full vote
of confidence after hours spent con-
Sidering the speculation charges.
The episcopacy committee pre-
viously had exonerated the bishop
of charges arising from the activ-
tiles against Alfred E. Smith in the
1928 presidential campaign.
Bishop Cannon'S contention that
the money he had deposited with the
brokerage firm of Kable, & Co. in
New York had been for the purpose
of buying stocks outright, was up
held by the committee.
