LaGuardia, Nazi Friend

lust about a year ago General Organ,
Police Commissioner of New York,
was grand marshall in an anti-Nazi
parade, arranged by local Jewish organ
izations. Marching at the head of the
parade, he preceded more than $4,000
people.
Only two months ago, on March T.
Mayor LaGuardia spoke at Madison Square Gar
den meeting, arranged by right-wing labor unions
and Jewish organizations called The Case of Civil
zation Against Hitler Bernard S. Deutsch, presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen spoke on the same
program.
Today, when Vhe workers of New York are pre-
pairing for a ant-Naz parade through the
streets Of Yorkvile on May TO- parade of protest
against the imprisonment and torture of Ernst
Thaelmann, leader Of the German Communist Party,
and thousands of other class-war victims of the
Nazi scourge, these liberal and progressive"
gentlemen show themselves in their true coors.
They refuse permit for the parade on the ground
that the workers would be "nviting trouble" by
marching in "the enemy's territory"
Since when has Yorkville seeded from New
York City? And since when has the Fusion admin
straon given this working class section of the city
de factO recognition as a separate "territory?"
Workers of New York, the streets of Yorkville
belong to you, just as the streets of the East Side
OF Red Hook, of the Bronx yours! You have
a right to the streets of this city, where you live
and work and struggle against the concerted attacks
OF your class enemies in every form!
Demand the right to the streets of YorkvilIe
on May 10! Members Of trade unions and mass
organizations; assign representatives to form
mass delegation to go to City Hall today to insist
on right to the streets in the struggle against
faScism in New York.
All such delegations should report at 10 am
today at the office of the New York Committee to
Aid Victims of German Fascsm $40 Broadway. and
carry the demand for permit for the MAY 10th
demonstration directly to the Mayors Office

I heMasSesWill Not Forget!

WHAT has happened to the high-sound-
W ing promises made by the Fusion
Party during the last elections? Many
of the workers of New York were tricked
by LaGuardia's slick phrases. Their sup
port, won by the most shameless lies,
swept the Fusion gang into office.
Five months have passed since LaGuardia be-
came mayor. five months of continual attacks on
the masses of New York Under the vicious Econ
omy Bill wages have been slashed thousands of
workers fired. Funds for educational and recrea-
tional purposes have been cut to the minimum
The health OF our children is menaced in crowded
and unsanitary schools and classroons And no
worker will forget the nightmare of over forty
men, women and children trapped and burned alive
n tenement fires few months ego
While these things continue LaGuardia does all
in his power to grease the palms which put up
the dough for his election campaign. We refer to
the big Wall Street bankc-the Chase National and
National City Banks-which rest secure, knowing

In the Don, with the help of the
Kaiser's bayonets, General Krasnov
formed his army of wealthy Co.'S
sacks with over 100000 men.
The British landed troops at
Archangel. The japanese kept a
firm hold on Vladiyostok.
Admiral Koltchak, with the help
of the English General Knox, had
seized supreme command of ST.
IBERIA, at the head of an army of
100000 men.
Counter Revolutionary Civil War
Besides Koltchak in Siberia there
was the sadistic Ataman Semenov,
whose greatest pleasure consisted in
numbering whole villages where one
of the inhabitants was suspected of
Bolshevism.
To the south, besides General
Krasnov and his Don army, there
was the army of Denikin. He was
supported by tens of thousands of
Czarist officers, who by pillage,
rapine, fiendish murder and whole
sale massacre, sought to drown the
dictatorship of the proletariat in a
sea of blood.
In the Ukraine there was the
| brutal murderer, the Ataman Grigo-
REV Petlura, representing the big
peasants and kulaks, financed by
British and the U. S.-Kerensky
loans.
The fighting in the south was
especially severe. Many brave Red
Army soldiers, workers from the
factories. poor peasants, hastily mo-
bilized to defend the revolution, losl
their lives, shot down with bullets
supplied by the U. S.-Kerensky gold
Only the most heroic, steeled
leadership of the Communist Party
was able to defeat this horde of
Czarist dregs, despite all their allied
financing and support.
The task of Bakhmetiev, and his
Czarist agents in the United States,
was to use the Kerensky loan to
ship war supplies to Koltchak, Deni-
kin, Wrangel, Krasnov, Semenov
and others who wanted to re-seat
the Car on his throne.
We shall now hear from one OF
the Czarist agents, still in the
United States, how the Kerensl1y
money was used to help the
counter revolution.
Czarist Agent Mishtowt
The scene is in the United States
Court of Claims in the mat er OF
the Russian Volunteer Fleet against
the United States, for payment OF
certain claims. On the witness stand
is I v. Mishtowt, appointed by Car
Nicholas II as naval at ache in
washington in 1915. and retained by
Bakhmetiev in the same post fol

SHANGHAI, May 8 (By Cable).
The newspaper "Shanzar pub
fishes interesting information on
the economic situation in Soviet
China. Despite the severe economic
blockade by the Kuomintang, the
Chinese Soviet districts are success
fully developing industry.
They are widely using the natural
resources. including the tungsten
seams of which those in Soviet
China, according to this paper, rep
resent almost half of the worlds
supply.
The primitive coal mines which
were exploited by the capitalists
have now been converted into mod
ern enterprises.
The same newspaper further
states that the government in So
Wet China pays great attention to
the regulation of the food reserves.
To prevent speculation in foodstuffs
by kulak elements (rich peasants) 1,
special bureau has been organized
for the regulation of supplies, hav-
ing considerable reserves at its COM
mand.
Many productive and credit CO.
operative societies have been formed
as well as active retail cooperatives,
the newspaper declares. All widely
used commodities in the Soviet ter
ritories are much cheaper than in
other parts Of China,
Thanks to the good work of the
cooperative societies, the Spring
sowing campaign has been ex-
tremely successful. Serious atten-
ton is being paid to the cultivation
of cotton. To improve the cotton
crop and production, the Soviet dis
tricts have established experimental
scientific farms.

dirty swindling transactions were
made in behalf of Czarist Kolchak.
This document gives an insight to
the people who handled the Keren-
sky loans that the Roosevelt gov
eminent now wants the Soviet
Union to pay. The communication,
signed by Serge Ughet, Russian
Charge d'Affaires, reads:
ITO the Military-Naval Agent
of the Russian Embassy in Wash
ington, dated July II, 1919.
IS. d. Szonov has notified me by
telegram from Paris that the Su-
preme Ruler, Admiral Kolchak,
has instructed him, as Minister of
Foreign Affairs, to confirm the
full powers of B. A. Bakhmetiev
as Ambassador of the Russian
Provisional Government in the
United States of America, of
which fact I deem it necessary to
inform you"
Mishtowt said that though he did
not take pledge of allegiance to
Kolchak, 81 remember I sent tele-
gram to Admiral Kolchak to be the
godfather of my SON."

Their asked is it correct to say
that you knew that the financial
attache shipped munitions and arms
to Denikine [another Czarist White
Guard Generall?" To which he re-
piled: Il understood they did, yes
The United States State Depart
ment also aided the passage OF
Russian Czarist officers through
this country to Siberia to fight
against the Russian people and
their Soviet government. Mishtowt
tells of "a gentleman in the State
Department who secured the visas,
and some intelligence officers OF
the Department of Justice" who as.
