Saturday, December 20, 1924 MACDONALD GAVE AID TO REVOLT é AGAINST SOVIET British Socialist Exposed by Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 19,—But for th: support of Ramsay MacDonald, then Britain’s labor premier and of other. outsiders the tiny Georgian revolt against Soviet rule in the Caucasus would not have started, in the opin- jon of Louis Fischer, the tussian correspondent of The Nation, who was in Georgia at the time, Received Foreign Gold. Writing in the Dec. 17 issue Fischer says, “The insurrection was inspired and organized by the mensheviks who live in Paris Georgian menshevism has no kinship with socialism. The mensheviks who precipitated this re- volt received foreign financial aid. The were promised that if they suc- ceeded in holding power for three or four day British and French vessels would land troops in Black Sea ports and march to their support. "And not without reason did they believe so. Had not MacDonald seen Tseretelli, a member of the menshevik cabinet! And did not MacDonald and Herriot support the Georgian mensheviks at the recent meeting of the league of nations?” Exposes Fake News. Fischer then explains the newspa- per faking indulged in by the Chicago Tribune foreign “news” service and THE WORLD’S IPS BITTERS health in a few days. below.

Ter- tible massacres of old men, women and children, piteously cabled by the Chicago Tribune correspondent, never took place. A similar expose of capitalist for- eign reporting on the Georgian rising was made by the Federated Press cor- respondent a month ago. She had peacefully gone on an undisturbed vacation hiking trip thru Georgia at the time the revolt was supposed to have been at its height. Are You Going to the Open Forum Sunday Night?

In the recent elections The reactionaries at the head _ SHOWING A UNITED FRONT Determination to put over the cam- paign to make the DAILY WORKER safe is nowhere more apparent than in the correspondence received from comrades and branches. Branch after branch is reporting that it not only intendts to subscribe its quota, but to beat it. Additional books of policies are being ordered from many of them Take the DAILY WORKER shor nuclei branch as an instance. There are 17 members in this branch. A total of $515 has been pledged by the 84 workers in the shop, of which $382 in cash has already been remitted This means an average of $15 from each of the 34 workers. Or, if we credit the branch members with the amount secured, as we should, i means that each of the 17 branch members averaged $30, including their own contribution and money se: cured from others. If we could “step out” at this same average thru-out the party, then the DAILY WORKER would be on solid ground. nr @ Send me at once another book of policies. Here is $20 cash.

Lassse Te asl eae INDIANS RAIDED BY LABOR RULE; 7 ARE ARRESTED MacDonald Used White Terror; Then Got Boot (Special to The Daily Worker) LONDON, England, Dec 19.—Seven- ty-two leading Indian nationalists, members of the Swaraj (Freedom) Party, were arrested in Bengal with the approval of the MacDonald gov- ernment, just before the British elec tions, it has been disclosed. The “la- bor” government had full knowledge that this outrage was to be perpetrat- ed, as well as a simultaneous raid on several hundred houses. The labor government approved this act of ter rorism, énacted thru a special ordi- nance by the viceroy on Oct. 26. Pretext “Anarchy.” The pretext was to justify the growth of “anarchical crimes,” altho the men arrested were all members of a political party, which has repeatedly declared itself against violence, and whose program does not call for a separation from the empire. The Swaraj Party reiterated at itr last convention in Calcutta on Augus 15, that the party advocates self-de termination. “We do not want any particular system of government,” said C. R. Das, president of the Swaraj Party at this convention. “We want to establish our own system of gov- ernment.” The Swaraj Party contains many confused ideas in its program such as the gaining of freedom thru aid to na- tive industrial enterprises. The party does not recognize the necessity of the arming of the workers of India for the forcible overthrow of the cap!- talists in control of their industries. However, MacDonald gave in to the demands of tory imperialism for a “strong hand in India,” just before elections, in order to show them that “labor was fit to govern.” The labor government is implicated by the dis- patch of the London correspondent of the semi-official Calcutta paper the “Englishman” cabled the day after the arrests. “Whitehall is not surprised at the Bengal arrests but is only sur- prised that they were not made much earlier. The British government was fully aware that the government of India contemplated taking action, and that the cabinet had promised fullest support to maintain constitutional- ism,” says the, report. Men Arrested Were Not Gullty. M. N. Roy, a leading member of the Communist Party of India, de- clares, “There is absolutely no evi- dence to prove any guilt on the part of the men arrested. According to its own admission the labor government withdrew the charge against Camp- bell because the attorney general thought that there was not enough ev!- dence to secure a conviction. But in India one need not bother about evi- dence. If the ordinary law does not suffice, a special ordinance can always be issyed.” The labor government has gone; but the men who constituted the labor cabinet still dominate the British la- bor party. Therefore, this story of MacDonald’s parting kick to India is very. instructive to the British prole- tariat. It reveals what a monstrous lie is the doctrine of self-determina- tion, as indeed is any other doctrine of the Second International. Dr.S. ZIMMERMAN, IDEN r CALIFORN!

Sportintern Congress recently met in Moscow. Dear Comrades:—The representa- ¢———————--_—— tives of working class sportsmen of the various countries, who have come together on the occasion of the Third Congress of the Red Sportintern, send | hearby greetings to those who are per- secuted by the reactionaries for the | stand they are making for the libera- tion of the working class. We who live in the very heart of the free Rus- sian proletarian state and who have before our eyes the achievements of | the glorious October revolution, wish | to assure you of our solidarity with | you. We are convinced that capital-| ist domination and white terror can | only be put an end to by general en- ergetic revolutionary action on the part of the international proletariat in which working class sportsmen must take part. We do not hold with the “non-party uature” of sport as propagated by the bourgeoisie and its lackeys, for we know full well that by this. treacher- sus slogan workers interested in sports are to be diverted from the class struggle and drawn to the side of their bourgeois oppressors in the latter’s struggle against the working class. As we are part of the work-| ing class, our aims and work must be connected with the working class. By contributing to the physical well- being of the members of the working class, we are consolidating the strength of the proletarian class army. Comrades! Be assured that work- ing class sportsmen belonging to the Red Sportintern will always be on your side in the fight against capital- ist domination and for proletarian re- volution. Your fight is our fight. We! will do our utmost to induce prole- tarian sportsmen in all countries to} support your struggle against reaction | and fascisim. We will do everything | which lies in our power to rally work- ing class sportsmen scattered thru- out the world to the united front of the fight for proletarian revolution. Fellow fighters!
