We print below an open letter by an ex-
member of the socialist party to the class
conscious workers in that party. The letter
was written when it became known that
Morris HilIquit, National Chairman of the
party had accepted the job of fighting for the
return of the Baku oil fields to their former
owners, the exploiters of the Russian work
ers and peasants. The New Leader, organ
of the socialist party, refused to print the
letter.
Hillquits action proved to Comrade Hen
derson the thoroughly counter Revolutionary
character of the socialist party and he has
drawn the only conclusion that an honest,
class conscious worker can draw from the
treachery of Hillquit and the socialist party
to the working cass-He has left the socialist
party and has joined the Communist Party
the only Party of the working masses.
To All Members of the Socialist Party:
IN the New Leader of Saturday June 27th, ap-
peared a statement by Morris Hillquit in de-
Tense of his actions in accepting the job of Legal
counsel for number of White Russian oil con-
erns. This statement has made the actions Of
Chairman Hillquit more damnable than they ap-
peared to be before, and has made it absolutely
imperative that the matter be carried to a show
down. This must not be allowed to drop; and
all workers in the Socialist Party must demand
that adequate measures be taken to clear up this
"oil scandal"
The facts Of the case are these: "a number
Of Russian corporations who owned oil lands
In the Baku region are suing the Standard Oil
and the Vacuum Oil Company for an accounting.
The actions arise from the purchases of oil by
the American companies from the Soviet oil
trust Similar purchases we're made by the
Dutch Shell Company which set aside certain

Wishing for some Andrew Jackson to take
the presidency is cheap, as wishing always is:
but why isn't there president there now who
would do like that? Because Wall Street puts
presidents there to do something else, and they
do it.
The whole idea is cock-eyed, as it shows an
absurd notion that presidents are made by acci-

TOURIST TRADE FALLS
OFF, FRANCE DISCL0SES
Figures Show Only One-Third Of
Normal Visitors Register.

~ truCd Press
PARIS, Dec. 26.-Officia1 figures
today show that fewer than 100000
American tourists visited in France
during the last year, compared with
100000 In 1929. Official reports of
other countries show corresponding
losses.
Frances customary annual clean
up" from tourist revenues, railway
and steamship tickets, taxes, hotel
bills, restaurants, tourist cars, lux
uries and passport yisas fell by more
than so per cent last year. Hospi-
tally, Frances greatest invisible ex-
port, is credited with bringing only
100000 vacationists during 1881.
The campaign started in England
to keep holiday makers at home this
year, combined with the reduced
value of the pound sterling in the
French exchange offices, kept down
the flow of British tourist trade.
