Green on Recognition

ME-, WILLIAM GREEN, who fought bitterly against
m recognition of the Soviet Union, now when recog-
milton appears about TO be arranged takes occasion
to voice Justification for his policy
Speaking in the name of the cist-inirrsed off,
cialdom OF the A. F. Of L., William Green replies to
statement made by Walter Duranty, New York Times
correspondent, in which he declared that Green was
IL years behind the times.
This Infatuated Mr.. Green In these 10 years.
during which Green, Gompers Woll Morrison and the
other labor heutenants betrayng the rank and
file of the A. r. of L. and vtuperating the Soviet
Union, the workers fatherand has advanced tremen-
dousy 1t has become power that must be reckoned
with even by the foremost inperialist country
Above all, despite the official resolutions OF the
A. Fl OF L. paunch- helied bureaucracy, local unions
by the hundreds have voted for recognition of the
workers fatheriand Today. when hundreds Of thou
sands OF A. F. of l.. members suffering from
employment and starvation feeling the strikebreaking
deeds Of their own leaders through the MIRA, their
sympathy for the Soviet Union has grown by leaps
and bounds.
GREEN knows the growing profound sympathy among
the A. F. Of L. rank and file for the Soviet Union,
where the workers rule and where Socialism is be-
ing constructed He also knows that IL was the deep
crisis OF American capitalism that forced steps towards
recognition because during this very crisis the US.
SR. had strengthened itself Tremendously
Now In his furious hatred of the successful pro-
etaran revolution enraged at the futiity Of his past
deeds among his rank and file, he vents his
venomous bitterness against Communism and in de-
fense OF capitalist hunger Institutions.
TOR more than 10 years., he declares, the American
Federation of Labor Che means of course the we'll

Of national defense against the assaults Of Communism
That line Of defense has never yet been preached;
It stands irnpregnable buwark both In opposition

In this report, every worker read what Green
considers the basic role of the A.. F. of L. ofcaIdom

Soviet Gold Bonds

Chase National Bank

NEW YORK.-It is causing good
deal of comment in financial cir
cles here while most bonds, includ-
ing the bonds Of the United States
Government, are falling in price, the

The news of the remarkable tn

the Second Five-Year Plan, the
unusually high liquidity OF Soviet
finances, and the record OF the So
Wet Union for prompt payments OF
all its obligations, eliminating with
the present negotiations going on
toward Soviet recognition by the
United States, all have resulted in
new bursts of popularity for the
Soviet Gold Bonds.
AS result OF the growing de,
mand, the Chase National Bank Of
New York, one OF the largest banks
in the world, has agreed to act as
paying agent for the Soviet bonds.
Guarantees BY Soviet Union
The new Soviet Gold Bonds have
behind them the strength and hon
esty of the Workers Republic. They
pay interest at seven per cent. Both
principal and interest are payable
in dollars in New York, based on a
definite weight Of gold, thus proS
tecting against the initiation of the
dollar.
Also important from workers
point of view is that the State Bank
Of the U.S.S.R. agrees to repurchase
these bonds at par on demand at
any time after one year from date
Of purchase. -
No less important Is the fact that
funds raised by the sale of, the
bonds are used to build up the So

holding throughout the United States

milton of the, U, S. S. r., one Of them
in Washington Square today, is en-
dorsed and. supported by. Matthew
Vol, Representative Hamilton Fish,
and Ralph Easley of the National
Civic Federation. This is proved by
definite evidence in the possession Of
the Friends of the Soviet Union.
The parent organization of the
Ukrainian National Association. with
It's headquarters at Ewow, Poland,
is responsible for the recent brutal
murder of Majlo, Secretary OF the
Soviet legation there. These Ukrain-
ian nationalist, like the Russian
White Guards, boast of their
achievements in assassination and
sabotage.
Against Soviet Ukraine
For many years, this parent Or
ganization has been acting in the
interests of the Polish Government
and assisting in its terrorist activities
against the peasants of the Eastern
part of the Ukraine. 1t is well
known that this organization acts
wholly in the interest of Polish
Imperialism and its chief aim is
to organize an invasion into Soviet
Ukraine.
In the United States, the Ukrain-
ian National Association cooperat-
ing with various other White Guard
ist organizations, including the or
gan of the Russian Socialists" No
voye Russkoye Siovo, are now carry
ing on an intense campaign against
the recognition of Soviet Ri STA. The
organ of the Ukrainian National As
ISOLATION "Svoboda" is announcing a
series Of meetings to be held
throughout the country to protest
against the recognition of, the Soviet
Government and incidentally also to
collect funds to finance white guard

the Manchurian border, ready to
help Japan in an invasion of Soviet
Russia.
