WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 2— “Pythian Temple Bars Doors to Com- munists,” “Hall Refused to Commun- ists for Meeting,” “Red Flags Fail to Wave Here,” are only some of the headlines that greeted newspaper readers of the capital city the day aft- er the Ben Gitlow meeting here. But the venomous headlines not- withstanding, the stories reported in the news columns under these head- lines were the best publicity as yet given to the Communist movement here. Not Communist, Honest.

The most radical thing that Ben Gitlow said was that the republican, democrat and progressive parties are not representative of the working \ Class. He threw no mud.

It however, expresses sur- prise that Comrade Lore did not call the attention of the Central Executive Committee to the fact that.such an advertisement had appeared and to his action in repudiating it, but left the Central Executive Committee to find out, on its own account, that such an advertisement had appeared and only advised it of his editorial after the C. E, C. statement had been is- sued. It must.also state its view that the appearance of the one sentence reading: “We regret to say that one of these advertisements, for money to be used to support the damnable Horthy sys- tem also found its way into the col- umns of the New York Volkszeitung” is not a sufficient expression of regret and explanation for the appearance of a counter-revolutionary advertise- ment in the Volkszeitung. The whole text of Comrade, Lore’s editorial ap- pears herewith. The appearance in a Communist newspaper of an advertisement adver- tising for sale the bonds of a counter- revolutionary government which has slaughtered thousands of Communists and imprisoned tens of thousands of others is not a matter to be carelessly passed over by the Central Executive Committee of the Party respon- sible for the paper which published this advertisement, nor does the fact that an editorial repudiating the ad- vertisement appeared close to the mat- ter. The Central Executive Commit- tee expresses its surprise that any member of the Workers Party which prides itself on being a Communist Party, could overlook the offense committed against the entire interna- tional movement by the appearance of this advertisement, and see only the fact that in its original statement the Central Executive Committee did not take int® account the appearance of Comrade Lore’s editorial, in regard to which it was not informed at the time the statement was issued. The important question before the Central Executive Committee is how could it happen that a Communist daily could publish such an adver- tisement under any conceivable cir- cumstances. Certainly no member of the Workers Party with the slightest Communist understanding would per- mit such an advertisement to appear with his approval. It was the duty of the Central Executive Committee to find out how it could be possible that such an advertisement could pass thru the hands of the administration of the Volkszeitung and appear in the paper, and to take action against any Party member who was in any way respon- sible for the appearance of the ad- vertisement. The Central Executive Committee has investigated this matter and finds that this advertisement was sent to the Volkszeitung administration by messenger and was received by Com- rade Blohm who is in charge of ad- vertising matter. Comrade Blohm states that the foreman of the printing establishment was in his office at the time the advertisement was received and since the envelope was marked “Change” he passed it over without examining it. He states further that later he clipped the Horthy bond ad- vertisement from the Volkszeitung and pasted it on the original order ordering the change in the character of the advertisement, but that again he did not read it nor did he note the character of the advertisement. Only after the third day of the ap- pearnce of the advertisement did he notice the character of it and when he reached the Volkszeitung building his attention was also called to it by Comrade Lore who ordered it removed from the paper. The Central Executive Committee accepting Comrade Blohm’s statement of the fact, is however of the opin- ion that Comrade Blohm is guilty of gross negligence and severely sen- sures him for his carelessness and negligence which has placed the par- ty in the position of accepting for money propaganda against its own revolutionary principles. Enemies of our party can use the appearance of this advertisement for attack upon our party. The C. E. C. further instructs the New York Volkszeitung, and every other Party paper, that it must ap- point a responsiblé Party member to pass upon the whole contents of every The work which can be done by edition of a Party paper before it goes to press. In making this ruling the Central Executive Committee does so in order that in the future there can be no excuse for the appearance of counter- revolutionary material in any organ of the Workers Party. The responsibi- lity of the Central Executive Commit- tee is not ended if-such a counter- revolutionary advertisement as that of Horthy bonds appears and then a re- pudiating editorial appears in the same paper. It is the fact that such an advertisement could appear at all that the Central Executive Commit- tee must deal with. It and it alone is responsible before the Communist In- ternational for conducting the Party aan that such incidents as the appearance of the Horthy advertise- ment in the Volkszeitung cannot, un- der any conceivable circumstances to take place. While it cannot now after the fact that the Horthy advertise- ment appeared in the Volkszeitung, it expresses the earnest hope that by establishing the responsibility of a Party member for each issue of a Par- ty paper which appears such a trans- gression against the revolutionary movement will not happen in the future. Central Executive Committee, Wm. Z. Foster, Chairman, C. E. Ruthenberg, Executive Sec’y en ee NOT A FARTHING FOR HORTHY HUNGARY. Editorial from the New York Volks- zeitung of August 2. Translation by Comrade Ludwig Lore. The American press is just at pre- sent being used for a widespread ad- vertisement campaign for the sale of the 7% pet. national loan of the King- dom of Hungary. Everywhere one will find these advertisements, which recommend this “gilt edge” security to the prudent saver, because he will nowhere find an equal return for safely invested capital. We regret to say that one of these advertisements, for money to be used to supoort the damnable Horthy system also found its way into the columns of the New York Volkzeitung. For this reason we LAND SHARKS IN MEXICO KICK ON. NEW LAND DECREE Can’t Enlarge Present Holdings By SYDNEY WARREN (Staff Correspondent of The Fed. Press) MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2—The new agrarian decree that all requests for larger tracts of common lands must be submitted to the president of the republic thru the respective state ag- rarian commissions is causing wide- spread discontent among the large landowners of Mexico. They feel that the chances to evade the countrys agrarian laws will” be considerably lessened by the new process. And so they are falling back on the principle of states rights, and say that President Obregon has no constitutional right to issue such a decree, and that they will fight it thru to the last court if necessary. The sections of this agrarian pro- clamation that have received wide- spread praise from the conservative elements are as follows: No Lands Peddling 1.—No additional common lands will be granted to any community unless it can prove that they are absolutely es- sential to the economic welfare of that community, that the lands they already have, havé been completely ex- ploited, and that they have the agricul- tural machinery with which to exploit the land they are requesting. consider it to be our special duty to ‘Warn our readers against the buying of these securities, and to say openly that every direct or indirect support of present-day Hungary is a counter- revolutionary act, an act which no class-conscious worker would know- ingly commit. Horthy is, perhaps the worst blood- hound among those who sit in the seats of the mighty -at the present time. In Hungary, today, absolute autocracy reigns supreme. In Hun- gary no radical movement can become active. Even the Social-Democracy, which in Hungary has become excep- tionally reformistic and careful, must tolerate the constant supervision of the authorities, a supervision that ex- ceeds even that in Russia under the reign of the Czar. Furthermore, this same Hungarian Social-Democracy en- joys this poor remnant of elbow-room only because it daily emphasizes its unalterable enmity to Communism, and actively fights the forces of the Communist movement, In Hungary every radical worker is at the mercy of the authorities. The labor unions live and exist only inas- much as they expressly profess po- litical neutrality, aifd decline any co- operation with the Social-Democracy. The Co-operatives enjby a similar measure of police and legal super- vision, Only recently a number of co- operatives were dissolved, and their property confiscated because the gov- ernment had “reason to suspect” that they were working hand in hand with the Social-Democracy. The fate of our Communist com- rades need hardly be described to our readers. It is impossible to tell how many ten-thousands of our com- rades, men, women and children have been murdered, maimed and im- prisoned by the scoundrelly rascals who hold Hungary under their whip- lash, since the betrayal of the revo- lution, For these punishments are seldom meted out in formal legal trials, are seldom conducted before the public. Persons who are sus- pected of Communistic leanings “dis- appear,” until their bodies are found murdered or drowned by an unknown hand. Horthy-Hungary is the land of thousand-fold murders, of the most horrible, most terrible White Terror that the world has ever known. This “National Loan” of the King- COLLECTS $64.50 FOR CAMPAIGN FUND] members of the party who earnestly set to work to secure support for the party campaign is indicated in the re- port made by Comrade Michael Rosenberger of New York City. 5 This comrade, who is a member of the Amalgamated Food Workers, sometime ago circulated a subscription list and turned $33.50 into the office nL een amen enna at of the District Organization for the campaign fund. Since that time he has followed this up by sending to the National Or- ganization another subscription list showing a total of $31 collected. This makes a total of $64.50 raised by this one comrade. h The work done by this comrade stands as an example for all the par ty members. If all the members of the party go to work as energetically not only in the work of raising cam- paign funds, but in all phases of the program of party work now under way our party will go forward with leaps and bounds. Comrade Rosenberger has set an example for the other par ty members. J Lr 2—The village that asks for the land must pay for it in a period of not more than ten years. dom of Hungary is, furthermore, by no means the safe investment that its advertisements make it appear. It is generally know? that this loan has been floated by the League of Nations, but that neither the League of Na tions nor any single nation has guaranteed its payment. In this re- spect it is even worse than the Austrian Loan, which was thus secured. As a matter of fact the American business interests hesitated a long time before they subscribed to apart of the loan. Their support was won only after Count Apponyi brought his influence with the Vanderbilts to bear upuon American finance. The fact that these bankers are now so energetically at work to unload these papers upon the small investor shows how little faith these large sharks have in the continued existence of the Horthy government. Of the entire loan of $50,000,000, $7,000,000 are to be raised in the Unit- ed States. For this the bankers here will, of course, draw a liberal commis- sion, which will, naturally, be paid by Hungary, but the price of which will Be paid by the small investor who buys the bonds. For the smaller the amount that Hungary finally receives out of its loan the smaller will the financial assistance be that it receives, the greater will be the detriment to Hungarian business. Even the con- servative Journal of Commerce, which is distinctly friendly to the Horthy re- gime, was forced to admit last Thurs- day that the loan is neither safe nor to be recommended, since its security, would be determined entirely by the ability of Hungary to pay its debts out of a favorable trade balance. For the progressive worker, for every enemy of the blood-thirsty Hor- thy regime, there can be only one reply: NOT A FARTHING FOR HORTHY AND HIS FELLOW BANDITS. | NEWMAN EXPELLED. | OMETIME ago the English Branch of Portland, Oregon, ex- pelled Otto Newman from that branch on the charge of having made a certain speech at an open meeting in contradiction to the policy of the English branch. The Central Execu- tive Committee of the party ordered the reinstatement of Otto Newman, but instructed the English Branch that if other charges which it men- tioned against Newman were borne out by facts, that it could try him on these charges and expel him. The English Branch now advises the Central Executive Committee that Newman has been reinstated in the party and has been tried on the new charges involving violation of party discipline and has been unanimously expelled from the party. This action of the branch has the approval of the Central Executive Committee. Mexican Youth Reactionary.

LaFollette and Burton K. Wheeler for president and vice president respectively, By CHARLES KOLARIK N the.August 24th issue of the daily “Spravedinost”, the Czecho- Slovak daily, we find a proclamation to the Czechoslovak workers, which is a peculiar instrument of “guidance” to the workers of that nationality in the present maze of political develop- ments in this country. A more out- spoken “centrist” tendency, than ex- pressed in this document, one could hardly seek to find. And this comes from a clique, that still feigns its at- tachment to the Third International, the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Republic, The careful reader of the DAILY WORKER will be sufficiently informed as to the developments in the Czecho- slovak Section of the Workers Party, which after a deplorably long period of internal squables has freed itself of the un—, or to be more exact, anti-communistic elements. This clique, “re-organized” under the old name “Czechoslovak Marxian Federa- tion” assumed by the Czechoslovak comrades after the withdrawal from the Socialist Party, and before the formation of our present Communist Workers Party, has succeeded, by means of legalistic trickery, to get away the control of the daily “Spra- vedinost” and the by-weekly “Zajmy Lidu” from the Czechoslovak Section of the party, to usé these organs for the promulgation of their treacherous, centrist propaganda. To the student of Marxism and Len- inism, as applied to the development within the world Communist move- ment, this incident will prove very il- luminating and instructive. The proc- lamation of the Czechoslovak “Marx- jan” Federation really is a jewel of centrist, pseudo-marxian ideology. This proclamation reads as follows: “In this year’s presidential elec- tions the American workers have a choice of three tickets, i.e., the inde- pendent, lead by Senator LaFollette, the Workers Party, lead by Com. Foster, and the -Socialist-Labor Party, lead by John. There is no doubt today, that from these three presidential candidates LaFollette will draw a vast majority of votes, such a m@jority, that it is possible to speak of him as a labor-candidate, altho, in the correct sense of the word he cannot be regarded as such. And for the very reason that or- ganized labor accepts him in such a manner that the worker, educated in Europe, stands before such a recommendation in doubts, a situa- tion arises, which is not at all easy for assuming a correct attitude. “LaFollette is not an adherent to the teachings of Marx, but, if ac- septed by Debs and such‘a progres- sive organization as the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of Amer- ica, even a blind man must see, that behind the candidacy of La- _Follette is something deeper than a mere run of the bourgeois circles towards a Third Party, that at least a certain fraction of the workers expects from the tree of the fall elections to pick a richer fruit than the mere candidacy of LaFollefte. In other words, LaFollette is in this year’s presidential campaign to these workers only a means, by which, after the electtons, it will be- come possible to form a definite, mass-party of American labor, which would he respected by the old political parties, and whose in- fluence in the life of this republic would be felt. “This year at last we have lived to see at least a partial fulfillment of our desires and our cry: Ameri- can labor is immersing into a presi- dential campaign almost solidarily, and the conservative American Fed- eration of Labor itself is cutting loose from its ties of long standing years, which had bound it to the Democratic party, and takes a stand for LaFollette. It is true, this po- litical revival does not respond to our conceptions, to which we were educated abroad. Nevertheless it is progress, and we, who have main- tained that the labor-party, must grow up from the trade organiza- tions, would not act correctly, nay, we would be acting dictatorially, if we would confemn the present movement just for the reason that because of the American conditions it has not progressed as far, as we would like it. “But, attempts at creating a la- bor party in the United States have been so many and invariabliy disap- pointing, and so even this year we are not certain, if the illusions of many of those, who work for La- Follette, will not be wrecked. The American’ Federation of Labor has not fully rid itself of the ballast of its “impartial” policy, and amongst the LaFollette elements are those, to whom the formation of a labor- party is a thing of minor impor- tance, so ‘that the LaFollette cam- paign is more a question of hope than of certainty. But this uncer- tainty speaks forth even from can- didacy of the Workers Party, a revolutionary class-party. The pres- idential candidate himself, Comrade Foster, does not encourage faith, such as a revolutionary party re- quires. We remember well that Comrade Foster before the court in Michigan denied, that he is a Com- munist. Comrade Debs was also before a court, but did not deny, and hence he enjoys trust and love. Be- sides the Workers Party until now is characterized by unexpected and unlogical maneuvers, and it could happen, that on a morning the can- didacy of Foster would be with- drawn, perhaps in favor of LaFol- lette. “Having weighed all these circum- An Example of Centrist Muddle-headedness stdnces and finding, that for the recognition of Russia at this time a powerful LaFollette vote this fall would accomplish much, the Execu- tive Committee of the Czechoslovak Marxian Federation arrives at the conclusion, that under present cir- cumstances it will do best if it leaves every member his freedom, No one in our organization will be subjected to heresy-hunting, if he decides for this or that labor ticket. And while the Executive Committee as such will not take direct part in the campaign, the Czechoslovak workers will participate fully, as is shown by the decisions of the indi- vidual Bohemian unions. Signed: V. Prochazka, chairman, A. J. Capek, Secretary.. This document leaves but little te add to. It is such a rude piece of work of centrist hestitation and un- certainty, that its poisonous tendency is self-evident, even to the least informed. The present Czechoslovak “Marxian” Federation is equally insig- nificant in numbers as it is un-Marx- ian in its attitude. But the proclama- tion is naturally meant as a directive to the Czechoslovak workers at large, But those of these, who let them- selves be misled by this feigned lib- erality and shielding of the undirect supplication for a heavy LaFollette vote by pointing out its significance for recognition of Soviet Russia, shall, sooner or later, exDect some more ¢wrecking -of their illusions,” This time it will be the bursting of the bubble of “Marxism” of those ad- dressing them in the name of the Czechoslovak Marxian Federation. -To those that know the meaning of marx. ism it will be sufficient to draw proper conclusions from the rank, un-marx- ian advice, even. tho it’s covered up by hypocritical liberatilty and con- cern for recognition of Soviet Rus- sia. “. (Editor’s Note: The slanderous and malicious lie about Comrade Foster, contained in the treacherous docu- ment above, again proves that the Central Executive Committee acted not a moment too soon in expelling this group from the Workers Party. It. is well known to the whole party that Comrade Foster, at the time of the Michigan trial, was not a member of the Workers (Communist) Party, and that he simply testified to the facts. He stated to the world and to the capitalist court that h® was a Communist, and shortly after that joined the Workers Party. And now this group of cowardly enemies of the Communist movement, who lack even the courage to boldly state their desire to join the LaFollette move- ment, have the audacity to charge Comrade Foster with denying his prin- ciples. It is the final demonstration of their complete enmity to the Com- munist movement.) ARREST WORKERS PARTY SPEAKERS AT STREET MEET Then Cops Pick on a La Follette Speaker George Maurer and D. E. Earley, speakers for the Workers Party, were arrested recently on the corner of 62nd and Halsted streets on the charge of “blocking traffic,” an absurd charge to anyone who would take a good look at the corner. Crowd With Speakers. Kitty Harris, in opening the meet- ing, was immediately told by cops that she would have to have a permit, but she introduced George Maurer, who, the cops advised, could not speak. Maurer continued to speak and the cops nabbed him. No sooner had he been takén off the platform than Earley jumped up and announced that the meeting would keep on. The crowd applauded this action. While the cop telephoned for the police wagon, some plain clothes mén came along and picked Maurer up in the Black Maria. To make the sweep clean, the wagon travelled down a few blocks and picked up a LaFollette speaker! —— Bob’s*Man Moans. The LaFollette man protested that he had a permit, but to no avail, and the three speakers were shoved into a cell without an opportunity to tel- ephone. Finally they were brought up to the sergeant who looked them over and yawned. “Well,” he said, “I don’t think that they want to wreck anything. Turn them loose.” The Workers Party intends to hold another meeting on the same corner on Thursday, September 4, with enough speakers to conduct a little free speech fight until the right of the Communists to hold meetings in any part of the city without the necessity of a permit is firmly established in the minds of the police officials of Chicago. © Typos Conclude Agreement.
