Feb. 1 NEW YORK, Jan. 28—Grand Duke Boris Viadimirovich, cousin of the late czar, in an interview given here recently, predicted the fall of the Soviet regime and the reestablishment of a monarchy in Russia. When asked whether he believed that Rus- sia will become a monarchy again, he replied, “Yes I do, because the major. ity of the Russian people understand that form of government better than any other. I do not know when it will be, but there are signs of the Soviet regime breaking up thru the in- ternal struggle among the Commun- ists.” It is also reported that Boris is re- turning to the United States to claim @ sum of over $1,000,00 stored safely in the banks of this country and which was evtorted from the sweat and blood of the workers and peasants of Russia, Another report states that Boris is seeking the aid of Henry Ford and other big financial backers in his attempt to restore the Russian mon- archy. Czarism vs. Leninism. There {s but one difficulty in the way of Boris’ beautiful scheme, There is but one factor which Boris does not consider, when he hopes to have an- other opportunity to add to his mil- ‘Mons from the toil and blood of the Russian workers and peasants. He does not consider that today, these workers and peasants fully wunder- stand what czarism means. He does mot comprehend that a new factor has appeared in Russia and thruout the world, That factor is the spirit of Lenin and Leninism, which has perme ated to the very roots of the Russian nation. When Boris hopes that the Present discussion in the Russian party will weaken it and break up the Soviet regime, he voices a devout wish for the grand old days of despotism, which will never return. On the con- trary, instead of weakening the party or the Soviet regime, it will greatly increase their strength and prestige, by informing and educating wider and wider masses of the workers and peas- ants as to the inner problems of the Communist Party and the Soviet gov- ernment. Only the enlightened regime of czarist Russia or capitalist Amer- fea have had aught to fear from gen- eral discussion among the masses. America Not a Safe Refuge. Boris and his gang, with their blood stained loot, have fled to America which stands today as the home of the reactionaries of the world. Here he hopes to find a haven from the bold, bad Bolsheviks. But his hopes are doomed to disappointment. The spirit of Lenin will haunt him even here, as it will everywhere where mer toil under the yoke of capitalist slav- ery. On Sunday afternoon, Feb. 1, there will be a huge demonstration at Madison Square Garden on the occas. fon of the first anniversary of the death of Lenin. A remarkable pro- gram including William Z. Foster, C B. Ruthenberg, Ben Gitlow, Moissaye J.

Cramer should sink so lov and prostitute himself in order to hol¢ his job on the Labor Review, only proves that when a fake progressive hits the toboggan of political deprav ity, nothing on this side of hell can stop him. We assure Cramer and the parasites who train with him, that the fight in Minneapolis has only started . 2. 2 'HE rest of this column, for today may as well be devoted to rene gades. There is Aristide Briand for instance. He once was a member of the socialist party of France and one of the most frothy mouthed. He de cided to join the bourgeols govern ment, protesting at the same time that he was doing it for the sake of the workers. But soon his sincerity war put to the test. When the postal em ployes went on strike he promptly called them to the colors and actually mobilized them to break their own strike. In those days Briand was a rabid anti-clerical and atheist. ss 8 H now find Briand, after several years of service to the capital- ists, lined up with the vatican in fight- ing the anti.clerical program of the present French government, which is under the direction of the grand ortl- ent, or the French wing of masonry. Herriot has forced the public school system on Alsace Lorraine and is now taking steps to withdraw the French embassy at the vatican. Briand i: strongly in favor of retaining the con- nection with the pope, holding that France shuld be represented there, for the sake of the assistance of the ‘catholic church can render to French interests, see ‘HIS renegade is more concerned with the interests of the French bourgeoisie than even Herriot, who is a millionaire business man of Lyons The pope threatens to retaliat: agaoinst the withdrawal of the French diplomatic representative at Rome by recalling the papal nuncio in Paris, and elevating him to the cardinalate. This will mean activity in the red hat} business if nothing else. e st @ NOTHER traitor is on trial in Wales Fight the Enslavement of All Youth in Mlinois (Continued trom page 1) mands that the young workers in in- dustry be allowed to work for the same pay as men, and demand special working hours. They demand an edu cation for all children of school age these young workers to be maintained by the government. The recent investigation by Young Workers’ League into conditons in the mail order houses of Chicago revealed that thousands of young workers are being exploited at paupers’ wages by the Montgomery Ward, Sears Roe- buck, and other mail order houses, The league demands that this ex- Ploitation of the youth of Illinois must stop. Miners Taken from School. In the mining towns of Illinois the young workers are expected to follow the trade of their fathers and enter the mines, most of the towns having only the one industry, These lads must work underground when their bodies are still unformed and their minds immature. During periods of unemployment, the government ne- slects the youth of Mlinols.. The min- ers are foreed to loiter on the streets because no provision has been made for them to attend school. Pald 17/4 Cents an Hour. In Belvidere, Ilinois, the National Sewing Machine company, employing one thousand workers, pays the youth employed by them seventeen and one- half cents an hour. This company manufactures washing machines and sewing machines for the Montgomery & Ward company, in large quantities. Thus while entire families in Belve- dere are forced into industry by the low wages, the Montgomery Ward company makes millions of dollars out of the profits of the toil wracked bodies of the young workers. The profits of the Montgomery Ward mail order house, because of the extensive exploitation of young labor, were the largest in history during the year just ended, Net profits of the company last year were $10,483,601, after mil- lions had heen paid out in dividends to the millionaire stockholders. This money was taken from the exploited young workers of Belvedere, earning 17% cents an hour, and from the thouzands of young workers employed in the Montgomery Ward factories in Chicago. Demand Voice in Industry. The Workers (Communist) Party calls the attention of the Illinois leg- istature to these conditions, and de- mands that not only the federal child labor amendment be ratified, but that effective means be immediately taken to end the widespread exploitation of thousands of Illinois young workers. While Nathan Leopold rolls around the city in his Mmousine, the young girls in his paper box factory in Mor- ris, Ilinois are selling themselves be- cause they cannot exist on the $12 a week which he pays. The young workers in the steel milis of East St. Louis, the thousands of young hired hands on Mlinols farms, demand a voice in industry and demand that child labor be abol- ished, and if necessary, their families provided for by the state. Lossine Fis aly Taher fn OE THE DAILY WORKER German Communists in Bitter Struggle With “Henchmen of Morgan” By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL “TODAY it Is not a question of the republic or the monarchy, it is the republic or chaos.” These are the words of Deputy Van Kardoff, of Stre- semann’s party, in the German reichstag. They are the familiar words of fascism. Mussolini uses them in Italy to bulwark his dictatorship. se @ @ The German republic today is a most energetic defender of capitalism. It is in the hands of the Luther cabinet that even discusses the return of the monarchy. Every power that strikes a blow at these monarchist ambitions, parading under the mask of a capitalist republic, is attacked as the herald of “chaos”. To be sure there is only one such power—the German Communist Party, Soviet Rule in Germany, of course, means something even more than chaos for German capital- ism. It means the end. But the cry of “chaos!” is raised in Germany, Just as Mussolini raises it in Italy, just as the subsidized press raises it in this country, in order to frighten the masses, if possible, against the rising Soviet power. * * ° * On the issue of Communism against capitalism, the German reichstag voted 246 to 160 to uphold the Luther cabinet, against which the Communist deputies hurled the the charge, “You henchmen of Morgan.” The socialists were compelled to vote with the Com- munists against the Luther cabinet. Not that they really wanted to. But the treason had they done otherwise would have been too apparent to the German workers. The Luther monarchists, with their cabinet in power, espouse the Mor- gan-Dawes plan, as the saviour of German capitalism, while the socialists, among the first supporters of the Dawes scheme, slip temporarily into the opposition in an effort to get a little prestige with the workers, in order that they might have something to deliver to the capitalist government when the next political trade is to be discussed. * * * The center (catholic) party, that claims to be for the republic, voted almost unanimously for the Luther monar- chists. But former chancellor Wirth, catholic party spokes- man, cast his vote in opposition, in order that he might be in line for his previous job when Luther falls. With their experiences of the last six years, since the kaiser was ousted, to fall back on, the German workers must indeed realize how their destinies are being toyed with by these capitalist political charlatans; how every step of all the parties, from the socialists to Ludendorff is against their interests; that the Communists alone are fighting their battles. The German workers must realize to the full the meaning of the fawning approval with which Chancellor Luther defended the socialist president, Fritz Ebert. Luther excitedly deplored the attempt to “besmirch” the character of Ebert, because of his close connection with the Barmat scandal, a German “Teapot Dome,” only that it dealt with high-financlering. Luther, the monarchist, announced that he is going to stand by Ebert, the socialist, just as he is backing the Morgan-Dawes plan to the limit. An interesting combination against the working class. * * It is against this combination that the German Com- munists take their determined stand and make steady progress. The resistance of the German workers inst the Morgan-Dawes plan grows steadily. When the socialists are again needed in the anti-Communist government, they will be called in to break up as best they can, the unity of the workers. But the proletarian ranks are more impervious than ever to these socialist attacks. As a result, new and greater advances can be expected from the German Com- munists against the German henchmen of Morgan. EEE ESE SETS EEE TES eee eee ETS Plays Don Quixote at Detroit Open Forum By CYRIL LAMBKIN (Special to The Dally Worker) DETROIT, Mich,, Jan, 23. — Boris Brasol, the recognized leader of the Russian monarchists in this country was the speaker at a meeting of tha Open Forgm here, an established in- stitution of Detroit, conducted by F. F, Ingram, perfume manufacturer and single taxer. The subject was Sov- jetism at work, Himself an officer of the ogar's ar- my who lost his position and privil- eges he flayed the workers’ and peas: ants’ government of Russia. Byery ill and misfortune of the Russian massea he laid at the door of the Bolsheviks, whose inevitable fall he predicted, Not a single misfortune did he ‘at. a tribute to the raparious czarist reg. ime, to the world war, to counter revolution and the invasions, to the blockade or to the famine, He cited many figures from Rus sian official papers, but the figures were nearly all for the years 1918 tc 1921. He read a report of a well known Russian physician about the terrible conditions in the hospitals, but he failed to give the date of the report or to mention the blockade in connec- tion with this, He charged the work- ers’ and. peasants’ government with breaking up the home by making di vorce easily obtainable, but he did not give figures showing the ratio of divorces to marriages. In Michigan the ratio is one to four. He concluded his telk by reading a letter supposed to have been seni by the Russian Communist Party tc all tte units exhorting them to stee their hearts for the task of destroying their capitalist enemy in blood “Blood, more blood” were the conclud ing words of the alleged document, In his replies to questions during the feverishly hot question period which lasted for forty-five minutes h« demonstrated such brazen contemp for the intelligence of the audience that the chairman, Charles M. Novak a high school principal, lost his caln demeanor, and asked a question him self. When in reply to @ question whether he did not think that the inve sion of Russia was in some measure re sponsible for the industrial decline th: speaker said he did not think so be cause the cities of Petrograd an: Moscow, the largetst industrial cor ters had never been invaded, th chairman himself asked the questio: whether the speaker seriously woul maintain the idea of the invasion o cities rather than invasion of a te: ritory. A decided group in the audienc consisted of Russian monarchist: most of whom are straw bosses in th Ford shops. According to authenti information their local leader is se retary Hl. G. Liebold, private secretar to Henry Ford. This group applaude their chieftain vigorously. The chairman made the announc: ment that a speaker representing th point of view of the Soviets would b invited to address the forum som time before the close of the prese! season.
