PEASANTS GAIN IN JUGO-SLAVIA DESPITE MURDER Pashich Troops “Guard” Polls; Six Killed BELGRADE, Feb, 9.—The Jugo-Slav government returned itself to power in the elections, by means of violence which claimed the lives of six voters, | and the injury of many others. Five | Croatian peasants and one policeman | were killed. The Jugo-Slav govern- | ment stopped all telephone and tele- graphic communication with outside nations during the elections. { According to early returns the vic | tory of the Pashich government was nothing to boast about, as the opposk | tion elected 152 deputies compared to 162 Pashich deputies elected. | M, Radich, head of the peasants? party, was in prison during the elec- tions, but Dr. Trumbich was a candi- date in Radich’s place and was elect- ed. The peasants gained a great vict- ory in Zagreb, Dr. Trumbich and M. Kosutic, M. Radich’s son-in-law, being elected by an overwhelming vote. The. vote in Zabreg was 15,800 votes for | the peasants and only 3,600 for the government party. In Bosnia the government support- ers prevented the peasants. from voting by force of arms. Violence broke out in many other cities. Troops attacked the peasants in Bosnia and other places, killing a number, it is reported. Chicago Bank Clerks Invite You to Their Ball Wednesday Eve.

To the DAILY WORKER: The Uk- rainian workers of Chicago, at a mass meeting where both sides were dis- cussed, with only one opposing vote went on record as favoring the con- tinuation of the Soviet government in the Ukraine, " The'mass meeting was called by the Ukrainian branch of the Workers Party to debate what system the Uk- rainian workers in America should support in the Ukraine—the Soviets, monarchistic or any other. Two weeks before the meeting an announcement was made in the Ukra- injan press that the Ukrainian work- ers are ready to meet ‘any of those who oppose the Soviet system in the Ukraine, in open debate’ It was an- nounced that speakers would explain to the workers who dre against the Soviet government how they are fool- ed by Ukrainian reactionary and counter-revolutionary leaders. Tho spreading of propaganda in fa- vor of a monarchy in the’ Ukraine is led by Dr. Nazaruk, and the “anti-So- viet propaganda is centered in Chi- cago. He was afraid to show his: face at the meeting, which ‘was held Feb. 1, but his ideas were put forward by-a man he sent to the meeting. “Russia has Cyril for the throne, Poland has Pilsudsky, therefore we Ukrainians must have our “monarch, Skoropatsky,” said Nazarvk’s repre- sentative. He was answered that in America anybody could be prolclaiméd’ baron, duke, or czar, but by this self-styled title the fact is not changed that they cannot change the Soviet’ system whereby the workers and peasants do the governing. The second speaker was for “demo- cratic” government in the Ukraine, but did not set forth any program or ex- Planation to justify his ‘democratic pacifism. Comrade Kuizewich, well: known among the Ukrainians in America, proved in detafl, with historical facts, that the Soviet system is the system which is. wanted by the Uk- rainian workers and peasants. They govern themselves, the declared, build- ing up their own laws, industries, and It 1s also good for wash materials; ' ‘The pattern is cut in. _| quires 8% yards of 27-inch "Pattern mailed to any: on Hdd eo width of the dress at thp foot ts | ferns To those who work hard for their money, | will save 60 education, not even for the profits of a few exploiters, but for the good of the workers and peasants. He stated that there is no other gov- ernment under which the workers have gained so much, as the workers’ and peasants’ Soviet government.

Then look over the record of the nations, who were compelled to recognize Sov- jet Russia, the country comprising one-sixth of the earth, the so-called most enlightened country of the world is the only large nation who has not recognized Russia, in fact, there are very few of smaller nations left who have not made any move at all to recognize Russia. Why is that? Very plainly, because the American press is owned or controlled by interests who do not want the American peo- ple to rule. We have a dictatorship of Wall Street. Do you want me to prove it? Here is Farm Life, a paper which should be printed in the interest of the farm- ers, which should be on the side of the bankrupt farmers. It cannot re- frain from giving Russia a kick at every possible opportunity. On page 7, Jan, 1925, in writing about Es- thonia, and high cost of living, it says: “But we can sympathize with Esthonia, too close to Soviet Russia for comfort.” And on the same page, writing about fertilizer, it starts an article: “If you give a dog a bad name, everybody suspects him.” Why }don’t you follow the moral of this sentence and not throw mud at a great nation, and retard progress? Have .you got to keep the farmers in ignor- ance of the real state of affairs in the republic three times the size of the United States? Are the financiers of this country nearer to you than the farmers and workers? I am sorry for the editor! Yours truly, Frank Voigt, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. To The DAILY WORKER:—The DAILY WORKER is certainly a hum- dinger. Was much interested in the resolutions of the Finnish comrades, particujarly this section “Sensational exaggeration should be avoided, for it Yeads the workers astray and when they get accustomed to it, they cease to have confidence in their own pa- per.” The practice of trying to crowd too much on the first page should be avoided particularly as this is a weakness of capitalist papers with their murder trials, divorces and oth- er trash that clutter up their sheets. It is displeasing to have to read one column of an article (consisting large- ly of ‘head lines) and then have to scout thru the paper to find its con- tinuation. So cut down the headlines and arrange the matter more as ar- ranged in the inside. Remember that eyery page is a first page to those that read the DAILY WORKER. Also take your-old DAILY WORKERS out- into the world, comrades, and give to your neighbors.on the.street cars, particu. larly.the young men—don’t waste them on the gray-beards. At ’em, David, with your little sling shot. { J. R. Weagant, Los Angeles, Cal. .

Dear Comrades:—The follow- ing is the second of a series of stories about revolutionists, men of science, ete., which I intend to write to you ag,often as possible. Among the géat men who gave their lives in their efforts to prove the falsity of the various religions was Giordano Bruno. Bruno was an Italian philosopher who lived between 1548-1600. During his youth he, for some unknown rea- son, became a clergyman. As such he often showed where certain parts of the bible were doubtful and he even said some parts were untrue. For this he was perse- cuted and forced to leave Rome. He went to Paris where he was well treated by, Henry ITI.,: the king of France, who cared to listen to a freethinker and man of science as Bruno was.

For bullding The DAILY WORKER Is no novelty to them, but a fact that has come of understanding of the importance of this work as a medium to build the local. And now we hear from New Haven District Organizer, William Si- mons, who writes us that at a meeting of the district executive commit- tee on the fifteenth, a motion was passed: “That information be secured as to the possibility and advisability of getting the New York edition of The DAILY WORKER in this district.” Acting on the resolution, Comrade Simons writes us for “facts and figures” and we hastened to give the details that will insure the local comrades the special New York edition which will carry a front page of more immediate news interest to them and which will carry news of the struggle in the New England states in greater proportion. Plans are being perfected for all New England states to receive the special eastern edition. To other locals thruout the country we are passing on this tip:.. If the subscriptions merit it (and we are sure that in the near future they will) The DAILY WORKER will not only be printed in “sectional” edi- tions, but state editions as well—and the day may soon arrive when “local” editions will be possible.

Bruno suspected nothing and went to Venice. Here Bruno, the. free- thinker, the man years ahead of his .time, was captured by’ ‘the inquisition in a trap they had pre- pared for him, using the noble- man (?) asa tool. He was put in prison, where he languished for 7 years. In 1600 he was executed at Rome by being burned alive at the order of. the inquisition. In 1889, almost 300 years after his| death, a statue was erected_at- his place of execution by popular de- mand.

It never meant more than a few hundred votes and its value lay purely in the recognition of |this very modest form of citizenship jfor a few Hindus, thus taking away something, at least, of the stigma of the color bar. “But now this has been destroyed }and the position of Indians in Natal will soon be as hopeless and helpless as ‘that of the Indians in Transvaal. “After the refusal on the part of the governor-general to countermand a racial order like this it is quite cer- tain that other racial ordinance will follow. As a result the meager rights which the Natal Indians still possess, apart from citizenship, are likely to be taken one by one just as the fran- chise has taken away by this racial ordinance.” HAVE A HEART!
