GOVERNMENT BIZ HIRING BUREAU Davis Urges Keeping Canadians Out Secretary of Labor James J. Davis advocated turning the U. S. immigra- tion department into an employment agency for the large manufacturers, in a speech here before the women’s bar association. Davis, who himself came to America via Ellis Island, advocated keeping out all those who might criticize the gov- ernment, and urged that Canadians and Mexicans also be prevented from entering America, as well as Eur- opean workers. “We should pick our foreign popula- tion as carefully as an up to date busi- ness house picks its employes,” Davis said. “Why bring anyone to America who isn’t going to work for her? If this country is short of coal miners, then import coal miners. If we need farmers, bring farmers.” Davis, in his speech, seemed to con- sider “America” synonymous with “employer.” Death of Sun Yat Sen Not to Affect Canton Republic CANTON, China, March 18.— The death of Dr. Sun Yat Sen has not af- fected the South China republic, ac- cording to Wu Chao-shu, the Canton minister for foreign affairs and son of Wu Ting Fang, Chinese diplomat who died in 1922. “Dr. Sun’s place cannot be taken by any one else,” said Wu Chao-shu “but the death of Dr. Sun Yat Sen will not affect the Canton situation.” Canton is the capital of the portion of China of which Dr. Sen was presi. dent. Cardinal Denounces Mussolini. ROME, Italy, March 18.—Cardinal Maffi, archbishop of Pisa, has issued a pamphlet protesting against fascist murders and referring to atrocities which he intimates were instigated by Mussolini. LO MAKE THE/Le To the DAILY WORKER: I chanced upon an editorial that forces me to a few casual remarks. First of all I, for the first time receited a few mor- sels of spiritual pabulum at Father Hagerty’s round table called by Sam Gompers, not with out wit, Father Hagerty’s wheel of fortune. With but one fleeting glimpse of the babe he did sense with almost womanly intutition that this infant would never become the mistress nor punk of any master,” but what. the little cigar maker did not know was that he be- held a child of destiny, and of course the only thing a sycophant could do was cast reflections on his lowly or- igin. Happily enuf his progenitors had no idea of his inhetent qualities or they might have killed the kid with care.’ Scarcely had the child filled his ‘lungs with Chicago air when they wanted to come the Solomon stunt. In a short time he became a waif deserted by kith and kin, out the boy survived for all, and when those clouds that now appear on the horizon gather, and the storm breaks this ragged urchin will come into his own, and grow! Yes, develop so fast he will with difficulty retain his ident- ity but that’s irrevelant; I’ve run into an open switch; I’m off the track. The editorial I had in mind was titled, “Pick the Rotten Apples out of the Barrel.” Its source of inspiration was @ bill before the house at Springfield; a sterilization of the unfit, proposi- tion. It seems as tho the bourgeoisie insist on making a garden for their gods, a la Luther Burbank every now and then. Now one of my school can easily see that this is a most delight- ful subject for those chair-warmers to play with and more especially so since the ladies have been admitted to this peerage. The subject fairly teems with possibilities from the risque to the more nearly scientific and no doubt will be purloined by the idle ladies of neither sex who make up what is called the elite of society and those good folks will exploit it to the very limit. This brings to mind the dilletante ladies of another time that so glibly discussed the rights of man; some of whom took a ride in a two- wheled cart and at the end of their journey were introduced to the first lady of her time. The idea the radi- cals should keep in mind is to avoid NEW YORKERS, ATTENTION! E SPRING!

To the DAILY WORKER: The ap- palling condition of the workers and peasants in the famine stricken area on the west coast of Ireland is get- ting but scant publicity from the kept press of this country. With one or two exceptions the Free State press ignores the existence of a famine for obvious reasons, while the catholic bishops in their lenten pastoral pro- nounce it as a castigation from God on the Irish for the crimes committed in the attempt to set up » republican form of government. The De Valera faction are too busy picking up all the loose change they can lay hands on for the coming elections, the greed for power and the spoils of office ap- peal more to their christian hearts than the thousands of peasants along the Atlantic seaboard who are doomed to perish from starvation. The DAILY WORKER is the only paper so far that has made known lo the American people the true circum- stances in the famine stricken region from Donegal to Clare and ia co-op- erating with the International Aid Society in collecting funds for :mme- diate relief to the unfortunate victims of the Free Sstate Junta. The Irish People, a monthly mag»- zine published in Chicago, used to give very interesting articles on currene vents in Ireland and snou‘d be a good medium for spreading the trutn ebout conditions over there at this time. I would like to know if it is still fn oxistence. M. F. McMahon. 1915 Warren Ave., Chicago. ak Reply: The Irish People lived as a sixteen page monthly magazine for twelve months, the last issue appear- ing in May, last year in that form, Comrade O'Flaherty, the editor, was obliged to resign owing to pressuré of duties on the DAILY WORKER.

To the DAILY WORKER: I want to call your attention to a certain paragraph that appeared in the Trib- une on Saturday, March 7. The paragraph stated, “Tiflis, Georgia, March 8.—Soviet »parliament grants Georgian rebels amnesty. On the proposal of President Kalinin the Soviet federal parliament here today proclaimed amnesty for Transcaucasia covering the participants in last year’s rising who were not affécted by the previous amnesty granted a few months ago on the initiative of the Georgian government.” 4 My main object in writing this is that I would very much appreciate it if you will call to the attention of the Tribune, thru the DAILY WORK- ER, the errors they occasionally make by calling the Central Soviet Union “federal parliament.” Surely the 'U. S. S. R. is not governed by| ™0m action of the two trade union parliamentarism. If I am correct in my contention that the U. S. S. R. is governed by the proletariat, then I must criticize the paragraph quoted above.—I. Greenberg. Seek Release of Five South Chicago . hs § Strike Victims An effort is being made before the state parole board at Joliet to secure clemency for the four union men and one union woman, convicted of “ex- tortion” in connection with the wait- resses’ strike at South Chicago, sev- eral years ago.

BARNEY MASS, ‘ow E DAILY “WORKER BRITISH GABOR LEADER FLAYS SOVIET ENEMIES Socialists and Tories Use Same Language LONDON, March 18.—The present position of the engineers,” said W; H. Hutchinson, of the A. BE, U. to the Daily Herald in a recent interview, “Is as exceedingly difficult one, The new Baldwin government has not merely rejected the Anglo-Soviet treaties, which would have provided work for the engineers by stimulating and facilitating the export of agricul- tural machinery, electrical machinery and implements of all kinds to the union of Socialist Soviet Republics, but in every way it has shown its hostility to relations of any kind with the Soviet goyernment and the mass- es of Russia, “An instance of the petty spite dis- played by Messrs. Baldwin, Churchill and company, is the sudden insulting refusal to receive’ any longer ordinary Russian commercial advertisements in British government publications. “This sort of spirit makes it all the more necessary for our British labor movement to maintain the closest pos- sible relations with the trade unions of Russia. - Labor Rothermeres “Any failure on our part to do this would not merely perpetuate the ad- verse effect of these bad relations upon our engineering workers’ condi- tions, but would actually give a chance to Churchill and his kind to launch out a fresh attack upon the workers and peasants of Russia? “It is very unfortunate,” added Hutchinson, “that the attitude of bit- ter hostility to all things Russian dis- played by some of the German, French and Dutch trade unionists, is play- ing into the hands of our reaction-, DATILY| Mgr.

But my private opinion is that the difficulties that have been raised so persistently can now only be solved by direct com- movements, the British and the Rus- sian, that have shown themselves really concerned for the cause of in- ternational trade union unity... “The position seems to have been reached when the Anglo-Russian unity committee should be put into effect.” Ford Is Good Schemer, NEW YORK, March. 18.— Henry Ford has a new plan in mind to ob- tain full control of the Detroit, Tole- do and Ironton railroad, financial cir- cles heard today..

Karachun was released on condition of his retirn to Russia and the union is arranging passage and He leaves within 90 days. Karachun was in the U. S. army from 1917 until after the armistice but never left this country. He was then sent to Siberia With the Ameri- can, expeditionary force and deserted to fight with his fellow countrymen. He was captured a year later, court- martialled and sentenced to death, but but was given commutation to 22 years. The point urged upon the war de- partment in Karachun’s favor was that international law makes it ille- gal fo ran alien in the American army to be forced to fight against his own countrymen. Agitation for Kara- chun’s release has been: going on for two years. World’s Oil Trusts Combine to Exploit Immense Irak Fields BAGDAD, March 18.—The Standard Oil company, the Royal Dutch Shell, and the leading American, French and Anglo-Persian oil companies under the name\of the Turkish Petroleum company, have entered into a joint contract with the Irak government for the exploitation of petroleum de- posits thruout the country. The con- tract gives the oil companies the petroleum rights of Irak for a period of 75 years. The four groups of oil concerns will share equally in the project. The combined capital is five billion dol- jars. The company will exploit 24 different areas, each of eight miles square, and will lease the remainder. Speaking of the Unity Conference of the National Minority Movement in England, in the March issue of the WORKERS MONTHLY. ‘wm. Z. FOSTER says: it was To understand this great movement in England which is only part of the CHINESE WORKERS MOURN SUN, BUT DO NOT WEAKEN Red Flag Still Flies Over Canton (Special to The Daily Worker.) CANTON, China, March 18,—Tho there is universal mourning for the pasing of China’s greatest statesman, Sun Yat Sen, there is no weakening of the lines of his supporters. This despite the venomous attacks and hostile hopes of the foreign imperial- ists and their Chinese agents, “The death of Sun Yat Sen has not affected nor will it affect the Canton situation,” says Wu Chao-shu, miniser for foreign affairs in the radical Can. ton government. Wu is the ‘son of Wu Ting-fang, famous Chinese diplo- mat. “The place of Sun Yat Sen can- not be taken by anyone else,” he said, “no more than can the place of that other illustrious leader, Nicolai Lenin.” Meanwhile, foes. of the Chinesé workers and peasants are working day and night to bring dissension in the ranks of the Kuomintang party whose leader Sun was . Hin Wong, a jou- nalist who was so flagrantly offensive ‘in behalf of the Anglo-American inter- vention that he had to be expelled from Canton by Sun’s working class army, is now filling the foreign press with alarming tales of Bolshevism at Canton. Hin Wong says that today im place of the principles of the early Kuo- maintang party, which brot republi- canism to China a dozen years ago there waves over Canton the red flag of Moscow, with the Komintang em- blem in the corner. ee ea Crystal Coffin for Sun Yat Sen. PEKING, March 18.—A crystal cof- fin for the late President Sun Yat Sen of South China will arrive from Mos- com about April 4 on a special train also bearing official Soviet mourners. The body in the meantime will lie in state in a portion of the Forbidden City which hereafter will be known as Chungshan park, using Sun Yat Sen's intimate name, which also may become the new name of Nanking, at which a mausoleum will be erected. A state funeral will be held at Peking. Altho the Rockefeller hospital offi- cials were denjed the privilege of an autopsy, they deemed it wise to eviscerate incidental to embalming, thus preserving the cancer which killed Dr. Sun for science. The police anticipate a Bolshevik demonstration at the time of the fu- neral and are taking precautionary measures, Morgan Buys Soldier Bonds.
