Page Two ALLIES FIGHT SOVIETS FOR CHINESE R, R, Property of Late Czar| Is Issue in East (Special to. The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, April 11.—} State department denials that) American and French official | pressure was brought to bear, with that of Japan, to prevent | the ratification at Peking last month of the Russo-Chinese | recognition compact, bring up| the fact that the Chinese East- | ern Railway is the prize over which Russia and Japan are struggling—with China as an| involved spectator. This railroad, built as a short cut across Manchuria for the Trans-Siberian railroad, has until very recently been op- erated by a mixed body of Russian counter-revolutionaries and of Japanese-controlled Chinese. Powers Dictate to China | Information reaching here from the Orient is to the effect that China and Russia, if left to them- selves, could quickly settle their dis- pute over this property. The Chin- | ese would kick out the remnants of the Kolchak and Seminov forces that cling to the management, and welcome the representatives of the Soviet republic. But they dare not offend the Powers, who are lending money to the Peking government, and who back the Russian Whites. More than four years have passed since Moscow sent a note to Peking, offering to “return the Chinese Eastern Railway to the Chinese people without any compensation whatever.” China was afraid to ac- cept this gift from a government which she was not permitted to rec- ognize, Persia accepted a similar return of concessions extorted by | the czars, but Persia was compara- tively free. The Moscow oer has been repeated from time to time, but always the money-lending Pow- erg have reminded the Chinese offi- cials that the French government |tience of the Russians with Chinese does not want this Russian invest- ment to pass from the control of the ezarist Russians. The embargo ~is to continue until Russia pays the ezarist debts to the French. ‘on’t Pay Czarist Debts Joffe and Karakhan, the two en- voys of Moscow who have present- ed the issue to the Peking govern- ment—such..as.~it is—have refs to” make any pledge of payment of ezarist debts to France, and they|Russian government is not ready with the steady growth in power of THE DAILY WORKER Students of Journalism in Moscow Send Greetings to Daily Worker NE of the most interesting letters, yet received by the comrades O of the DA:LY WORKER, giving cheer in the great task under- taking to build the first English- language Communist Daily, comes fron the members of the clags in English Composition and Journalism conducted by Comrade MacLeod, at the “Communist University of Toilers of the East,” at Moscow. We reproduce this letter in full, know- ing that it will be of great interest to all of our readers. It is as follows: * * * * Moscow, Russia, January 22, 1924, The DAILY WORKER, Chicago, Ill, U. S. A. Dear Comrade: You have undertaken a great task. We can readily vision the responsibilities which you have shouldered in accepting the editing-leadership of the DAILY WORKER, To change a small weekly paper into a nationally-circularized daily organ is no small job; and the cramming full of each page with the up-to- date news which American workers should have,—only a he-man could do. The undersigned are students in the “COMMUNIST UNIVERSITY OF TOILERS OF THE EAST”, Moscow, Russia, and members of the class in English Composition and Journalism conducted by Comrade MacLeod (late of Philadelphia). Some of us have lived for years in America; some of’ us are Hindus and have suffered from the brute force of British Imperialism; some of us are from, China where Amer- ican Capitalism is firmly entrenching itself; and some of us are sons of the Oppressed of the Far East,—Japan and Korea. But, cosmopolitan tho we may be, we all can handle the English language more or less efficiently. We speak for all of us when we tell you that every time you touch a sensitive capftalist-nerve; every time you expose the treachery of yet another yellow double-dealing labor-leader,—the thousands of miles between you and us vanishes in thin smoke. And whether you are hammering, or being hammered,—we are with you all the way thru,— from A to Z. But to help you materially —how? Just this: we will furnish you each week with not less than half a dozen items of current Russian news. We will cover ordinary every-day happenings, the latest analyzed reports of governmental departments, recent economic developments, sketches of Russian life, etc. In short,—we shall make translations, either verbatim or freely, from the day’s newspapers or the week’s magazines, of news which we believe would be of interest to you and to the American workers, Thus you will have secured a new acquisi- tion by reason of your “Our Correspondent in Russia” having been doubled a couple dozen times. Our initial reports will reach you about a week after you receive this letter, for the translation on which we are now working, Comrade MacLeod will be “editing” in a few days. If we can be of further assistance to you in any way,—let us know, and we shall gét on the job before sunrise. With the best of the best wishes to you, your co-workers, and the T. U. E. L., and to the long-slumbering, but now awakening proletariat of America; and with the hope that the DAILY WORKER, and those for whom it is spokesman, will ride atop the crest of the onrushing revolutionary wave, shining forth its rays of truth so that all who wish may know the true and only way for piloting those who seek for freedom and Life, we are, Yours for the Third International, for the Red International of Labor Unions, and for the World’s Revolutionary Proletariat, Jack Schwarzstein, Esther Schwartzstein, Sullivan Smith, Esther Wassermann, Fred WitSon, John Dugan, John Utkin (Kongts), Abdul Ahmad Var, John“Hwang Jon, Wil- liam Takara, Karim Roz Ab Roon, Vatu Sing Djong, Maru d.

During the past few weeks much was said and written in an effort , to connect the work of the pacifists jwith the American Section of the |Young Communist International. At this meeting the speakers, among \them being Max Shactman, editor {the Young Workers, Martin Abern, | national secretary of the Young Workers League of America, and | William F. Dunne, editor of the) DAILY WORKER, will point to the difference between the position of the pacifists and the stand of the militant Communists, Strenuous efforts have been made | to have at this meeting, many of | |the soldiers and~sailors who have fought under the banner of the American Dollar in France.

Some fime between now and June 10 leaders hope a revenue measure will be sent to President Coolidge, but they admitted today they cannot now foresee the probable date, nor pre- dict the terms of the bill finally en- acted. Meanwhile the clamor from the country for tax reduction legislation increases. Within the past week, senators said their mail on this sub- ject has almost doubled. Split into many groups of thought on taxes, the senate has before it three main plans and half a dozen compromise ideas, most of the latter still in nebulous form. ‘The principal proposals are the original Mellon re- duction program, to ‘which adminis- tration leaders still cling stoutly, the House compromise and the Senate Democratic proposals. To many senators none of these three is acceptible and there is a | movement on to evolve a fourth plan, embodying some features of all the other three.

Another de- of Kentueky national guardsmen, the third one, another troop of cavairy, machine gun and infantry units, and a tank company from Covington are now on the | Scene. Another detachment of guardsmen has been made ready by the governor. The situation is considered to have grown more serious owing to the attitude of the governor in at- tempting to shoot the strikers into submission, and ithe determination of the miners that they will fight until the union is established in Kentucky.
