C. Miller, Com- munist memeber of the state legisia- ture, that the Bank of North Dakota be made a depository for all public funds and authorized and empowered to establish branch banks and perform ® general banking business in the state, has started a new discussion among league representatives, Afraid of Private Interests. Ever since the Bank of North Dakota was started the private banking {n- terests have been on the alert, taking care that this state bank did not injure their business, For a time they were seared stiff that the so-called “non- Pertisan” leaguers might go “too far” with their experiments in state ownership and sound the death knell to private banking in the state. How- ever, nothing serious happened to the private banks when the league was in full control of the state government for the simple reason that it did not go “too far” with such experiments. Since that time the league has become atill more conservative and even reactionary there is, therefore, still less likelihood now that an attempt will be made to go “too far” in the way of eliminating the private banks. The Communist Position. State Senator Ralph Ingerson, Jeaguer, chairman of the house bank- ing committee thinks he has a bank bill that will “solve” several of the problems connected with the Bank of North Dakota and he opposes the proposal made by Miller, Ingerson says his measure is “practical” and “diplomatic” and tells us that any banking bill that is introduced in the legislature ought not to bear the name of a Communist because then “it will not get very far.” ‘When informed of Ingerson’s state- ment Miller said that he was going through with his plans of introducing his bank measure until a better one showed. up “I'll support any other bank bill that is clearly in favor of the interests of the farmers and the workers, but I am against camouflage and diplomatic tricks that merely fool the masses,” Miller said. “We must be frank with the farmers and the workers,” he added.

Central 4945-4947 |ingé brought before the The Communists were hounded from one place to another, Lithuania did not allow Hsthonia to get ahead of her. Almost simul- taneously with the campaign in Hsthonia, the Lithuanian government started a@ campaign of terror against the rev- olutionary movement. Men and women were murdered—two girle were shot down in the streets. In both Hsthonia and Lithuania the capitalist governments were able to carry out their dastardly plans be cause they had the support of the so- cial democrats. More than that: the social democrats acted as the denounc. ers to the police of the Communist workers. Then they justified thelr cowardly, treacherous acts by stating that they were compelled to support the capitalists against the Commun ists, because “the safety of the capital ist regime in Hsthonia was threaten- ed.” Not to be outdone by such little states as Lithuania and Hsthonia, Rou- Mania and Bulgaria started their own campigns of terror. In one night, Com- munist homes and headquarters were raided in Roumania and 400 Commun ists arrested. Realizing that the Bul- garian workers and peasants have not forgotten the slaughter of their broth ers and sisters in the uprisings o! June and September of 1923, and that the conditions within the country have steadily become worse, the capitalist governments have again started to at- tack the revolutionary labor move ment. Poland has handed over revolution: ary members ofthe sejm (parliament) to the mercy of the capitalist court. Immunity as members of parliament counts for nothing. The representa tives of the workers have no rights in Poland. The result was that a mem- ber of the Polish sejm, who had not been a part of the Communist frac- tion, declared his solidarity with it and was sent to prison. ‘Why does the campaign take place at this time? Conditions in Hurope are becoming worse, and the capital- ists know of no other means of break. ing the rising revolt of the workers and poor peasants. Why is Mussolini tottering in Italy? The economic con- ditions do not permit the workers and Peasants to live. Why is Horthy’s hold in Hungary weakening? Because the capitalists are trying to beat down the workers. Why have the capitalists of the United States started a similar cam- paign against the workers? Why were two miners in Pennsylvania shot down in cold blood—and nothing done tc punish the murderers? » Why are the wages of the anthracite miners and of the textile workers being ground CHICAGO |down? Why are the Communists be capitalist courts in Michigan? Why are Com munist editors being arrested and pros- ecuted in New York? Why do the cap italists of this country declare that the workers must accept lower wage: if they are to get work at all? There are two reasons for this unit- ed campaign against the workers of al countries, First, the economic condi tions are making the workers revolt Second, the capitalists had hoped tha Soviet Russia would disintegrate—be cause of economic conditions. The} see that Soviet Russia cannot be beat en. They see that the British trade union delegation has only good words in praise of the conditions that they found upon their recent visit to Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia Is a menace to the capitalist worl The Communis parties are a menace to capitalist pow er. Hence everything smacking of revolution must be smashed. Revolu tionists must be put behind prison bars; their families must be perse cuted; their children must be starved Then perhaps the revolutionists wil become more “moderate.” The revo lutionists know no fear—and the figh goes on. But revolutionists must be support ed and helped. It is the duty of thc American workers to do their very utmost to assist them. The Interna tional Workers’ Aid and the Labor De. fense Council have that mission. Th: financial situation 1s very bad—an¢ the calls made upon these two organ izations are very great. Hence the two organizations arranged a joint bazaar, which will take place at the Lyceum, 86th St. and 8rd Ave., New York City, from Feb. 11 to 14. The response that the bazaar is meeting with demonstrates that the workers of New York City are moving forward The bazaar will be a huge success.

USE NEGROES IN NEXT WAR, SAYS LONDON “EXPERT” (Special to The Dally Worker) LONDON, England, Jan. 23.—Mili- tary “experts” meeting here to plan how to fight the next war are study- ing the book of J. B. S. Haldane, called “The Defense in Chemical Warfare,” in which Haldane declares that the next war will be fought largely by Negro troops directed by white officers, The “experts” are recalling the number of Freneh and English col- onlal troops slaughtered in the last war, and give much credence to Hal. danes prediction. Haldane declares that “colored troops can stand poi- son gas better than white.” It is expected that perhaps the colonial peoples who are to be led to slaughter by the imperialistic na- tions which exploit thelr labor at home will make vigorous protest against Haldane’s book.
