P. Rally (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Sept. 28.— James P. Cannon, who will open his campaign as candidate for governor of New York state on the Workers Party ticket at a big rally on Thursday evening, Oct. 2, at 8 p. m., at Hunt's Point Palace, 935 Southern Boulevard, near 163rd Street, Bronx, today issued a stirrin, statement to the workers 0 New York. “The United States, which is the wealthiest country of the world, denies to the millions of workers and exploited farmers the good things of life. Long hhou®s of work or unemployment is the lot of the worker. Mil- lions of farmers are bankrupt. And all this while the Garys, Morgans, Rockefellers, Fords, McCormicks and other great eapitalists are getting ever wicher. Government Strikebreaker. “The government is.a capitalist in- Btutution serving the capitalists and grinding down the workers. The cor- Yupt capitalist government breaks Btrikes by use of injunctions and troops. The workers can expect mothing from the candidates of the ‘eapitalist system, the strikebreaker Coolidge, the Morgan-Rockefeller Jawyer Davis, and the candidate of ymall business LaFollette. The work- prs can no longer let themselves be leceived by the socialists who have Jost every right of speaking in the pname of the working class when they lined up with LaFollette, a middle class candidate. The workers should support the. Workers Party which stands for a workers’ and farmers’ government and for the Communist wystem of production. The workers pnd farmers of Russia have already set the example in this direction. “The Workers Party is in the fore- front of every struggle of the work- ers. The immediate program of ‘the Workers Party is: The creation of a mass Farmer-Labor Party, national- ization of industry and workers’ con’ trol, compelling industry and govern- ment to pay wages to the unemployed, stopping the use of injunction, police and soldiers against workers, release of all political class war prisoners, land for the users, opposing militarism and imperialist wars, recognition of Soviet Russia. Will Explain Program. “In my speech at the Hunt’s Point Palace meeting on Oct. 2 I will en- deavor to present our full program so that the workers present will be able to judge whether the Workers Party deserves their support.” There is a treat in store for the au- dience at the Hunt’s Point Palace meeting, as Cannon is an exception- ally fine speaker. He will give the Communist viewpoint, he will expose the corruption of the old capitalist parties and the false pretenses of the LaFollette progressives and socialists. W. P. in Fight on Bosses. ‘The Workers Party is making a lone but effective fight against capitalism. The socialist party in joining with LaFollette lined up on the side of cap- italism. Cannon will lay bare the treachery of the socialist party which makes a false claim of being a party of the working class. No class con- scious worker can afford to miss the opportunity of being present at the big campaign rally of the local can- didates of the Workers Party. There will be a number of other speakers besides Cannon. On Friday, Oct. 3, Cannon will ad- dress a meeting at the Queens County ‘abor Lyceum, 785 Forest Avenue. White Guards Active. MOSCOW, Aug. 29. (by mail).—The Constantinople papers report that a “committee for the repartition of refu- gees” has been uncovered there, It was organized by Russian White Guards and worked illegally, with Bishop Anastasius at their head, whom the Turkish press looks upon as an arch enemy of Turkey. Legal action has been started against this “committee” which, ac- cording to the Tanin, was also involv- ed in espionage. The Turkish papers comment ironically upon the fact that in spite of the committee's fairly long existence, the police had “no knowl edge” thereof. f Say!.. This Court Favors Unions! SYDNEY, New South Wales, Sept 28.—By a ruling of the high court of Australia nonunionists employed on wharves in Australian ports since the general strike in 1917, are ordered to vacate their jobs which must be Riven to members of the Waterside Work- ers’ union. Preference to unionists is mandatory. Subscribe for ‘Your’ Daily,” sre DAILY WORKER. / EE that this story is an unmitigated lie. I was not sent to Liberia. I was at- tending the third Pan-African Con- gress in Lisbon and visited West Af- rica on my own initiative. I had no consultation with the president or any official before I went, on Garvey or any other matter. While there I was appointed by cable to represent Presi- dent Collidge at the inauguration of President King. It was a purely cour- tesy appointment without salary. The cabled instructions were published in full in the Crisis. I did.not mention Garvey or his movement to President King of Liberia or any of his officials. I did not consult with them or advise them nor did they ask my advice. In no way, shape, or manner did I have anything whatsoever to do with the policy of Liberia towards this man and movement. Of course Liberia knew my pergonal attitude toward Garvey. They knew that I had openly opposed his silly masquerading and cruel squandering of the hard-earned pennies of the poor. But neither I nor they mentioned the subject while I was in Liberia. did I represent capitalists, imperial- ists or anyone else but my own fairly well-known views on race matters. To charge me with joining any combina- tion of capitalists to choke a Negro republic is surely too fantastic for the DAILY WORKER to believe. W. E. B. DuBOIS. s 4 Minor Makes His Reply. Editor DAILY WORKER: Comrade: You Have forwarded to me Dr. DuBois’ letter with your re- quest that I show what justification I had for the article of which he com- plains. Your letter reached me just as I was leaving on an extended trip during which I was out of reach of the material necessary for the answer, which I now give, I wish that Dr. DuBois had realized * Nor |. letter complaining of inaccuracies. If he had read my article coolly and not under the influence of the professional bolshevik-baiter who (as I happen to know) tried to excite him about it, Dr. DuBois would have seen that 1 did not charge him with being “respon- sible for the attitude of Liberia,” etc., but that I simply recorded the fact that in public convention others charged him with such responsibility. In fact what I wrote was a much ex- purgated and fumigated summary ofa teriffic and very detailed attack upon Dr. DuBois which occupied several hours altogether of the convention's time, and which became the center of a political controversy which could not be described without mention of it. What was said by the speakers was considered by me to be so exag- gerated that I discarded the bulk of it and printed nothing as an allegation of fact that was not contained in Du- Bois’ own account of his visit to Li- beria published in the April, 1924, is- Bue of “The Crisis” magazine, edited by DuBois, under DuBois’ own signa- ture. I quote from that paper, pages 250 and 251, passages from DuBois’ article entitled “Africa,” as follows “As I look back and recall the d: which I have called great—the occas- ions in which I have taken part and which have for me and others the wid- est significance, I can’remember none like the first day of January, 1924 . wrongs endured by Liberia at the hands of the U. S. senate and state department: ) ef “It was then that the United States made a gesture of courtesy; a little thing, merely a gesture, but one so fine and so unusual that it was ep- ochal, It sent an American Negro to Liberia. It designated him Envoy Ex- traordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary—the highest rank ever given by any ¢ountry to a diplomatic agent in black Africa. And it named this en- voy the special representative of the President of the United States to the President of Liberia on the occasion of his inauguration, charging the en- voy with a personal word of encour- agement and moral support. “It was a great:and significant ac- tion, It had in it nothing personal. .{and hopes of Negro Americans . (Continuing with a-recital of]. THE DAILY "WORKER Another appointee would have been equally significant. Liberia recognized the meaning. She showered upon the envoy very mark of appreciation and thanks. The commander of the Li- berian frontier force was made his special Aide and a sergeant his or- derly, At 10 a. m. New Years morn- ing a company of the frontier force, in red fez and khaki presented arms |before the American -legation and es- corted Solomon Porter Hood, the Am- erican Minister Resident, and myself as Envoy Extraordinary and my Aide to the presidential_manson—a beauti- ful white-verandahed house waving |with palms and fronting a grassy street . .” (My emphasis.) | Dr. DuBois now writes in his letter the emphatic sentence: “I was not |sent to Liberia.” This is in strange jcontradiction to the Dr. DuBois’ own jabove account of the affair, in which jhe wrote “It” (the United States) “sent an American Negro” (DuBois) “to Liberia.” Later in the same article in “The Crisis” Dr. DuBois quotes his own speech to the inaugural assembly as containing these sentences: “The President of the United States has done me the great honor of desig- nating me his personal representative on the occasion of your inauugura- tion . And I am sure that in this special mark of the president’s favor, hé has had in thind the wishes . L have now the honor, sir, to trans- mit to yon the personal word of Cal- vin Coolidge, President of the United States of America by the hand of Charles BE. Hughes, secretary of state.” The above partially quoted editorial is immediately followed in Dr. Du- Bois’ paper with an item headed “A Despatch,” which is dated Monrovia, Liberia, Feb. 8, 1924, and which reads: “To the Associated Newspapers of the World: “President of the Republic has de- nied application from delegates of the Universal Negro Improvement Asso- ciation to Liberia for an interview. Interview can only be granted if it partakes of an unofficial character and discussions to take place must be of an informal nature and as between private individuals. Any proposal sug- gesting location for 3,000 immigrants to Liberia must ultimately be denied: “President told me that he is keep- ing his mind on the obligation of Ii- berla to the Great Powers, and as such to the maintenance of the inde- pendence of the Republic. “Butler's Limited.” After seeing all of the above pas- sages printed in a paper edited by Dr. DuBois, I did not feel justified in suppressing the fact that in a big public convention for several days a furor of excitement centered around the charge (made by’ participants of the convention—not by myself) that Dr. DuBois, “became an instrument for inducing the Liberian govern- ment to declare that no vises would be granted the members,of Garvey's organization,” and that such, action was, according to the charge, useful to the Great Powers which I took the liberty of calling “imperialist powers.” Unfortunately, at about this time, a famous photograph was published in the capitalist press, showing a va- cation party composed of Calvin Coolidge, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison and another member of the Firestone faimly; and this was shortly. followed by the announcement that certain large concessions of rubber and mineral territory which the Ne- gro organization claimed had been granted it*for co-operative exploita- tion, had been cancelled or ignored by the Liberian government, and that an +|enormous concession covering prac- tically the same territory had been granted to the American capitalist, Coolidge's friend, Harvey Firestone. I had no means of foreseeing this last event in a series of circumstances which are now used by Dr. DuBois’ enemies as a basis for longpand vit- rolic denunciations. I am glad that Dr. DuBois denies absolutely having any hand in the policy of the United States government toward Liberia, as I am sure that the granting of the alleged Firestone concession in Li- beria (if it occurred) will be the open- ing of a sad chapter in the history of the little Negro republic. It is particularly deplorable that Dr. DuBois should have allowed himself to be so complaisant as to accept the “honor” of representing that pigmy figure-head of the most merciless eapi- talism in, the world, Calvin Coolidge, DECISIONS OF WO RKERS PARTY CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 'HE Central Executive Committee of the Workers Party made the following decisions at meetings~ held on Thursday, Sept. 17 and Monday, Sept. 22. . ae Party Constitution.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept. 28—We had a bully meeting. | talked to about 600 people here in Syracuse. About three hundred of these were with us from the beginning. The rest came toward the end and stay- ed thru the discussion period. The collection was thirty dollars. to which‘a certain college professor of Syracuse university, contributed $11. The professor arrived late. During the heckling period this pale- faced studious looking person of about forty, made his way to the front and addressed the speaker. “Can you tell this audience in monosyllabic language just what is the Marxian Theory of Surplus Value?” “I believe I can, sir. I’ve told this audience just this very thing, devel- oping the theory in such fashion that | hope every worker under- stood.

It is unfortunate if true that DuBois told the Liberians that they were receiving a “special mark of the president’s favor” at just the moment when Coolidge’s friend, Harry Firestone, was trying thru Coolidge’s minister, Solomon Porter Hood, to obtain a monster con- cession for the exploitation of Liber- ian labor and the consequent inevit- able subjugation of Liberia to imper- ialist rule. Since the question is raised, I think it would have baa a “fiine and un- usual” gestnure if DuBois had ans- wered Coolidge’s insulting offer by refusing the “honor’ 'of representing the United States government. would have been “fine and unusual” if DuBois had seized the opportunity to warn the people of Liberia just what fate awaits little Negro repub- lies such as Haiti and Liberia that receive “special mark of the presi- dent’s favor” and the introduction of American imperialist exploitation. When Negro leaders accept “hon- ors” and “courtesy appointments” which require them to tell oppressed Negro peoples that they are receiving special marks of “favor” from pow- ers interested oniy in their subjuga- tion, they must expect the conse- quences. It is an old story. That Dr. DuBois let himself be put inthis position is especially regrettable be- cause he has a reputation in the pub- lic mind of having fought consis- tently and bravely in the past’ years for the equality of the Negro politic- ally, socially and in industry. It is even said that he more than most Negro leaders has in the past endeav- ored to give the Negro the only key by which such emancipation can be obtained—class-conscious action as a part of the working class. It is a pity that he hag in this instance put him- self into a light of unfavorable con- trast to Marcus Garvey, as far as this incident alone is concerned. Garvey fawns before the caste system‘ and grovels before the big capitalist mas- ters to whom he offers to trade the Negro’s right to equality in exchange for “moral or other support,”—a thing for which DuBois yery admirably de- nounces him.—ROBERT MINOR, KUZBAS IS NOW ON THE MAP AND .

It) Monday, September 29, 1924 BRITISH MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT ‘TALKS IN MOSCOW Kameneff and Chicherin Laud Treaty (Special to The Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Aug. 29. (by mail).—At a | plenary session of the Moscow Soviet, Messrs. Chicherin, Rakovsky, ,.Kamen- \eff made speeches on the Anglo-Soviet itreaty. The assembly welcomed with \loud applause Mrs, Susannah Laurens, |member of British parliament, and ;member of the executive of the Brit- jish Labor Party, who was introduced |by Mr. Kameneff and who in her speech pointed out the part played by British labor in the completion of the treaty. Mr. Rakovsky made comprehensive report of all the Anglo-Soviet negotia- tions and laid down the contents of the treaty itself. Passages of his speech, in which the Soviet chief del- egate at London put stress on the pos- ition of principle which the Soviet government had taken up to defend the revolutionary gains in the ques- tion of debts, were repeatedly met with loud applause and ovations—in particular, the following statement: They are mistaken who believe the Soviet power can force the million masses of peasants to pay for the debts of hated Czarism; the Soviet power leans on the revolutionary con- science of the toilers of the Union of Soviet Republics, and it would cease to be a power if it would disown its revolutionary origin. We are firmly convinced, concludes Mr. Rakovsky, that the London treaty will be ratified by British parliament. International Recognition. Mr. Chicherin, people’s conimissary of foreign affairs, calls the treaty an international recognition, attained af- ter seven years, of the October revolu- tion as the basis of the Soviet state. If Mr. Lloyd George called the trade agreement of 1921 an armistice, the actual general treaty. is the first final treaty of peace. Mr. Chicherin further states that by this treaty the Union of Soviet Social- ist Republics obtains advantages greater than the sacrifices made. Re- calling the Genoa and the Hague con- ferences, the speaker remarks that the necessity of reaching an agree- ment with the Soviet was dictated by hard, real facts and the economic crisis in the largest countries. The policy of making the Bolsheviks “tame thru trade” has failed. Indeed, the Anglo-Soviet treaty is the result of a five-year-long peaceful duel between the Soviet Republics and the capital- istic states, in result of which the So- viet Union is rapidly reviving econ- omically and growing stronger under the eyes of all the world.
