BISHOP MANNING'S ATTACK ON U.S.SR.
ANSWERED BY DAILY" READER
New York, N. Y.

New York, N. Y,
Editor OF Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:
The Soviet Union was attacked by
Bishop Manning, one OF the sneak
erS at a mass meeting at Madison
Square Garden called by the Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, Monday night
ss 2 protest against the persecution
or jews by the Nazis
In his speech, Bishop Manning
compared the atrocities committed
~ the Hitlerites against. the Jews
with the anti-religious policy of the
5ovists. He said if the one is to be
condemned, the other should also be
condemned.
u is surprising that one so close
10 the counsels Of God should be
ignorant of the following facts:
1. That anti-sen1itisIn by word or
deed is officially classified as a
counter-revolutionary act and is pun
ished severely in the US.S.R.
2. That no Jews IS such have
been systematically prosecuted in the
Soviet Union. ANY discrimination
hat they may have suffered in the
U. 3. S. r. has been due to their
class affiliations. not to their racial
descent. that is, has been directed to-
ward them as members of the ca
plotting class, not As Jews

MOSCOW, March 31.--In connec=
ton with the declaration of Voght,
president of the German Supreme
Court alleging that Van der Lubbe,
fascist provocateur and Hitler agent

Reichstag building, that this spy was

Gated with the bombinb of the Sophia
cathedral in 1925, PraVda writes:
THE obvious fiasco of the attempt
Of the German fascists to represent
Van der Lubbe as an agent of the
German Communist Party" forced
the fascists to attempt to connect
him with persons who blew up the
Sophia cathedral"
Dead Cannot Be witnesses.
Continuing Pravda asks: why did
Voght revert to the question
of the Sophia explosion? Because
the persons" with whom Van der
Lubbe is said to have had connections
were executed, They are all dead
and hence cannot refute these state
ments. Also because the Sophia
cathedral explosion was connected
with the same circles as persons
mixed up in arson against the Reich
stag building. They are fascists, in
ternational adventures, white guard
lists, manufacturers of anti-SoViet
counterfeiting, secret agents an q
flunkeys of oil magnates.
Protected by German Fascists.
eft is no coincidence that this
scum found headquarters in Berlin,
and Munich, inasmuch as they are
closely bound up with fascist circles

Austrian Schutzbund

VIENNA, April 2.-The Dollfus die
tatorship in Austria today dissolved
the Schutzbund, the Socialist Defense
Force, which in Vienna alone has a
strength of over $4,000. The official
explanation of the decree is that the
Socialist Corps has been in open con-
flict with the Austrian Nazis and the
Heimwehr. Cabinet ministers also
demand that the Vienna municipality

building, Several days later
the search of the Cologne of
flee was repeated and ten employees
arrested, including Soviet citizens.
Several raids were made on DEROP
distributing stations, the raiders
stealing the oil products stored there
and stating that DEROP must be
annihilated. The products stolen
total thousands of marks in value.
The raiders pointed revolvers at the
employees at the distributing stations.
Police Occupy Offices
On April 1, a big detachment of
policemen and detectives of the poll
tical police occupied the Berlin
building of the DEROP board of di-
rectors, cutting all telephone commu-
nication of the DEROP with the rest
of the city.
Several employees including the
chairman of the board, Yenko, a
Soviet citizen, were subjected to a
personal search. German employees
were arrested.
Blackmail
At the same time the board of di-
rectors received blackmail letter
from the Berlin Committee of the
National Socialist Party containing
eXtortion threats and demands.
There are several authenticated
cases of threats to Soviet citizens by
members of the German Nazi auxi-
nary police. Doctor Islamsky, a Sow
let citizen, has been brutally beaten
for the second time. YelneVitch and
Perkon, two other Soviet citizens,
ware arrested and beaten. During
their examination and while they
were under arrest, they were beaten
with huber clubs, steel rods, etc.
Raid Homes
The homes of employees of the
Soviet trading organizations in Ger
many have also been raided. Cases
of this sort are reported from Essen
and Dusseldorf, raiders having broken
open cupboards and stolen money.
The Berlin Embassy of the U. S.
S. R. lodged an energetic protest with
the German Foreign office against

of Soviet citizens.
Commenting on the reports of Nazl
raids on the DEROP offices in Ger
many, "Pravda" writes:
Immediately after the Reichstag
had been set on fire reports appeared
in the world press stating that the
worlds oil kings, headed by Sir Henri
Deterding, the old and infamous en-
envy of the workers of the Soviet
Union, had played far from minor
part in the organization of this Fas-
cist provocation.
Having seized power greedily, the
Fascists are showing themselves to be
the obedient agents of their bene-
factor. How otherwise can we eX-
plain the regular attack throughout
Germany against the DEROP COM
pany, which trades in Soviet oil prod
ucts in Germany.
whatever the German FasciSts
may, they cannot escape from the
obvious fact that the experienced
hand of the international oil rob-
bers is visible in these frantic ex-
ploits of the Fascist bandits.

"ONE-MAN RULE" LIE
With the din of the election cam
paign still ringing in their ears, the
American workers can appreciate the
difference between the workers DEM
ocracy in the Soviet Union and the
bosses fake democracy" in the
United States.
AS We sat in Conrade Khvesin's
Office and listened to his clear, COM
petent exposition, we could not
help recalling the vicious nonsense
spread by the capitalist hireIings
about the "One-man rule" in Rus
STA. If this were really the case,
if the Soviet Union were really gov
erned by one man, if the will of
the toiling masses were really Vio-
lated in the interests of a ruling
minority, the capitalists world find
no fault with such regime, just
as they find no fault with faScism
in Italy or with the boss dictator
ship in any capitalist country. It
is the rule of the workers, the die
tatorship of the proletariat that
the bosses object to, and it is pre-
oisely the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat, headed by its Bolshevist
Party, that made Russia the most
progressive country in the world,
the inspiration and the hope of
toiiing humanity.
1t was two O'Clock when the in
terview came to an end. AS we
passed several Offices of the Moscow
Soviet on our way out, we saw men
and women still at work at their
desks. Some of the correspondents
were in hurry to get to the cable
Office to send off story. On the
way We exchanged impressions. An
Austrian comrade exclaimed: IF
only 1 could put it all in words"
We all felt the same way: if only
we could put into words the full
meaning of workers rule in Moscow
If only we could bring to the masses
Of the exploited and oppressed, to
the victims of the capitalist order
with its sham democracy" the mes
sage of workers democracy in the
Soviet Union as it marches triumph
antly forward! If only we could
communicate the real meaning of
the heroism, self-sacrifice and cour-
age of the millions OF toilers Of the
Soviet Union as they proceed to build
new world out of the wreckage of
the old!

ers of your countries" Com-ade

There are the bells of Raleigh,

by consuming such luxurles as

in four courses. First of all, there
was a full whack of pemmcan,
with slices of horse meat favored
with onion and curry powdar and
thickened with biscuit, then ar

"After all this" says Scott, sit was

Custom Many Years Ago
FASHIONS in Christmas dinners
4 come and go. In Olden days at
a Christmas feast in England, next
in Importance to the bOar's head
as a Christmas dish was the pea
cock. To prepare the bird for the
table was a task entailing no little
trouble. The skin was first care
fully stripped off with the plumage
adherlng. The bird was then roast
ed; when done, and partially
cooled it was sewed up again in its
feathers, it's beak painted with gilt
and so sent to the table. Some
times the whole body was covered
with leaf gold and piece of cot
ton saturated with spirits placed in
its beak and lighted before the
carver commenced operations. This
flood for lovers and meat for
lords" was stuffed with spices and
sweets, basted with yolkS of eggs
and served with plenty of gravy.
The noble bird was not served by
common hands; that privilege was
reserved for the lady guests most
distinguished by birth or beauty.
One of them carried it into the din
ing hall to the sound of music, the
rest of the ladies following in due
order. The dish was set down be-
fore the master Of the house or his
most honored guest. The latest
instance of peacock eating record
ed was at q dinner given to Will
liam w, when duke Of Clarence,
by the governor Of Grenada.
