TH iD \ Scores of thousands of Amer- ican workers, drawn by the light of Leninism, will attend the Lenin Memorial meetings being | conducted by the Workers! (Communist) Party during the remainder of the week. The largest outpouring of| class conscious workers ever| observed in this country is pro- | mised by the advance sale of | tickets for the Lenin meetings in Chicago, New York, Milwau- | kee, Los Angeles, and in fact every large city and industrial town in the country. Leninism shines as the guiding spirit of the American workers more strongly and clearly than ever before, the response to the Lenin memorial Meetings shows. Parade In Moscow In Moscow yesterday, hundreds of thousands of workers and peasants paraded in honor of Lenin, who es- tablished Soviet Russia, the first workers government of the world. Thousands upon thousands marched past the mausoleum to review the remains of the dead Communist lead- er. The demonstrations in Moscow were duplicated by hundreds of thousands of workers in every part of Soviet Russia, in the far east, in Bu- Tope and thruout the world. Amerlean Workers Respond In America, the Communists, and workers who understand that Lenin- ism is the great liberating force that will finally crush the capitalist op- pressors of the workers, are not be- hind the workers of ther countries. The Lenin Memorial meeting in the Ashland Auditorium last night,brought out thousands of Chicago’s workers. A full report of this meeting will appear in tomorrow’s issue.

G. Rudd, chief of the recruiting publicity bureau, United States army. He uses the advertising cam- paigns of the large corporations as an example of the correct method of moulding public opi- nion; of making others think the way you want, and support- ing your ideas.

The people must “be taught to see the government's point of view—that its course is for the best interests, In other words, to think as the government wishes then to think—and act accordingly. Butas a thot must precede every act, the first course is to start them thinking ‘right!

United States is Next to Bow in Recognition of the Soviet Republic By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL PoeAay: altho Japanese capitalism has finally succumbed, as was predicted, and has joined the score of other nations that have given recognition to the Soviet power, the American kept press is as stubborn as ever in its claims that Washington will not follow in the steps of Tokio. The subsidized editors along with their blood brothers, the old party statesmen at the nation's capital, try to smile away the assurance with which the spokesmen of Soviet rule at Moscow declare that the United States government not only will, but must also give recognition to the First Workers’ Republic. * ¢ @ @ There arrives by mail, from Peking, China, the oriental service of the Rosta (Sovict) news agency, dated Dec. 10, 1924, telling of Hughes’ prospects in the Coolidge cabinet. Already, a month before it actually took place, and only a few days after congress had reconvened, this Soviet news agency, predicted the downfall of Hughes. It was at Peking that the Russian and Japanese re- presentatives met to discuss recognition; where world de- velopmetiis and the relations between nations were weighed in the baiance. From this melting pot of international con- flicts the Soviet news agency declared that: “In referonce to the general expectation of a conflict between Secretary Hughes and the chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs, Senator Borah, it-is learned in well Informed circles that, in certain questions of international policy, particularly that of recogni- tion of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, President Coolidge’s position is a more liberal one than that of Secretary Hughes, of whose resignation rumors are becoming more persistent. “The opinion exists in political circles that Hughes will resign on March 4, 1925, on the day of the president's official assumption of office. * * * * However, there also exists an opinion, not unimportant, - that Hughes will go much earlier, as it is said Great Britain desires that Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics be invited to this pending conference (the Second Washington Disarmament Con- ference) which would hardly be feasible if It should be held under Secretary Hughes’ chairmanship. “It is pointed out here that the British premier, Mr, Stanley Bald- ° win, is being ever more persuatied of settling relations with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and that he insists on the United States of America being a party to the solution of the so-called Russian ques- tion, promising in return, Britain’s support to the carrying out of Amer- ica’s financial plan in Europe.” , x*- * £ @& Thus our Russian comrades not only claim that the United States will in time be forced to recognize the Soviet power, in ‘response to the imperative demand of world affairs, to use the words of George Tchitcherin, Soviet commissar for foreign affairs, but predict that the delegates of the First Workers’ Republic will be invited to the next World Disarmament Conterenve. . " It is also declared that the tory Baldwin government in Great Britain dare not revoke the recognition granted by the recently deposed MacDonald government. This is inform- ation that the subsidized press grudges its readers, when it does not acutally misrepresent it. The imperialist statesmen at Washington, London and Paris know that they are help- less before the rising tide of Bolshevism. The Japanese may win an oil concession from the Soviet Republic on Saghalin Island in the Northern Pacific. This oil may aid Japan in its rapidly approaching war with the United States. But it will also grease the way for those conditions at home that will make possible the triumphant civil war of Japan’s working class fighting to establish their Soviet power. y ‘ This same war of the pacific must also find the ex- ploited workers and poor farmers of the United States ready to struggle for Soviet rule in this country. The fact that 21 capitalist nations have now been compelled to recognize the Union of Soviet Republics marks another milestone on the road to the complete victory of the world social revolution. FASCISTS FACE U. S. STEEL TRUST BAITS ANOTHER HOOK SENATE TEST ON ELECTORAL BILL Say Matteotti Trial Is to Begin Soon (Special to The Daily Worker) ROME, Jan. 21.—Mussolini is expected to meet strong oppo tion in the session of the senate which opens today. Mussolini was barely able to scrape thru with a vote of con- fidence at the last session of the senate. Altho he will probably be able to line up enough senators to give him a vote of confidence again, Mussolini’s margin will be so small that his pre- stige will suffer. Mussolini did not speak before the chamber of deputies, as he was saving his fireworks for the senate. The opposition is counting on well over 100 votes against Mussolini’s electoral bill, which passed the cham- ber of deputies. The reaction of the opposition to the speeches of Communists in the chamber, shows however, that be- tween’ the dictatorship of Mussolini and the rule of the workers led by the Communists, the opposition will throw its support to Mussolini.

BIGSX’ TYPO UNION ACTS ON CHILD SLAVERY DemandsAssemblyPass Amendment (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—Tho efforts of Governor Al. Smith, the Tammanyite politician and alleged friend of labor, to stab the movement against child slavery in the back received a rebuke Sunday at the hands of Typographical Union No. 6, when that organization went on record unanimously for im- mediate ratification of the pro- posed Twentieth Amendment to the U. S. constitution, which will give congress the power to’ enact child labor legislation. A strong resolution ‘against the enemies of the working clas who are opposing ratification of the amend- ment was presented by H. M. Wicks, who in a speech from the floor of the union uncovered every point involved in the controversy, exposing the fraudulent democracy of the constitu: tion that demands a two-thirds vote of three-fourths of the states, vigor- fously assailing the national associa- tion of manufacturers in the recent Massachusetts elections, basting the governor and state legislature of New York for proposing to postpone ratification in favor of a state wide referndum, explaining the widespread ramifications of child labor in the Uited States, dealing with its devas- tating effects upon the earning power of the working class as a whole and relating his recent investigations of conditions of child slaves in their so-called “homes” in New York City and in Jersey City. His presentation was so comprehensive that at its con- clusion the resolution was adopted unanimously and without further de- bate. The resolution follows: A WHEREAS, a Lie gy amendment to the constitution of the United States, to be known as the twentieth amendment and that will empower congress to enact legisiation against chilé labor is new be- fore ‘the various state for ratification, and coaeennit Ratan art te mt ives.
