''Hit and Rum PrOpaganda

Hit and Run" PrOpaganda
Every reader Of the Daily Worker should take
part personally in exposing to the broadese
number Of WORKERS, the propaganda campaign
TO create war sentiment against the Soviet
Union campaign that is only beginning and
will be undoubtedly greatly intensified.
This campaign, which is designed to weaken
Working-class defense for the Soviet Union while
Japanese Imperialism makes a "try OUT in ato
lacking Soviet Siberia and to Justify" Rumanie,
Poland and other French vaSsal governments Ia
attacking from the West, is and will be signalze6
by news" usually but not always, dated from
Riga, Helsingfors Bucharest, Warsaw
sample of this is the Associated Press dis.
patch Of March 81, dated from Bucharest, Rue
mania, telling the following damned lie in the
first paragraph:
Reports reaching here from Runsnls vie
iSgeS on the Ukrairlian border today said q
number OF women were shot down while de-
tending their churches by Soviet troops in q
bloody Sunday yesterday"
Readers should brand such yarns as lies TO
their fellow workers without hesitation MANY
young workers never experienced and many old
workers have forgotten the daily shower Of such
lying propaganda that filled the capitalist press
Wnen world imperialism was invading the Soviet
Union from 1919 10 100. So this is necessary,
-
SAINTS "revolted against the Soviet8" Soviet
troops "shot old women and children" and
workers overthrow Lenin' every day-buC only
in the capitalist press.
But, boys and girls, it isn't enough lust to tell
your fellow workers that these things are lies,
Keep pair OF scissors around and use 'en to
clip out stories which prove that capitalism, and
not the Soviet Union is the one guilty in fact Of
the most atrociouS crimes
For example, about this yarn from Bucharest
that says Soviet troops shoot women: On the
very same day, the same Associated Press re-
ported from the same town OF Bucharest that
two Rumanian army officers angered because
CaVern-keeper refused to sell them drinks afteg
closing time-"killed two walters with their
sabers" Use that, to show what kind Of nice
country Rumania is, to be lying about atrocities
in the Soviet Union, and what kind of army Of
ficers are attacking the Soviet Union.
AS far as abusing women is concerned the
same Associated Press on the same day
March 2D, reported from right here in the
good old U. S. A. from Scranton, Pa, that.
Women picketS took a prominent part in the
unsanct1oned anthracite strike and as result
many of them were among the ninety arrested
And about using troops against the masses an.
other Associated Press dispatch the same day
from Athens, Ohio, told of martial law and
troops called out against striking miners Of
Hooking Valley.
Every militant and revolutionary worker
should open up his or her own publicity bu-
bureau against this Init and run" anti-Soyiet
propaganda.
Apes and Athletes
In our enormous excitement about the Indy
kid, darned If we didn't forget to follow the
news breathlessly, as TO the fate OF Ngt, the
baby gorilla down at Washington. No, not the
one In the White House,. You remember, the
"po, little thing the capitalist press was having
all the cry over because 1t had pneumonia.
And an oxygen tent was rushed from New
York down to Washington, at the cost Of Mrs.
Patterson, who owns Washington newspaper
and has family interest in the Chicago Tribune.
We forget all about little N'gi." Did he live or
die? And who among the 100000 unemployed
cares boot?
However we are consoled to learn, from
United Pres dispatch of March T. that John d.
Rockefeller is taking care Of the apes; he having
given a Florida farm to Yale University for an
"ape farm"
The Yale University IS deeply interested in
cultivating apes (and strikebreakers), and also
has recently given over a penthouse, atop the
100000 Institute Of Human Relations" to apes
SO they can thrive in sunshine and fresh air"

Of wage cuts we see in another United Press
dispatch OF March 4th, telling how q complets
town with full modern equipment is being buils
west of Los Angeles ito house the Olympic Ath-
letes" When the games are over, it-"nlay
become ghost town, or be salvaged FOR some
use as yet undecided" If the Unemployed
Council is any good its use ought to be decided"
soon
Anyhow, you workers who are eVcted should
be glad that capitalist athletes and apes are
furnished homes
