M. LA FOLLETTE IS 6, 0, P.REGULAR Expected to Be Next Wisconsin Senator MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin, Sept, 28 —The most striking feature of one of the most unexciting elections held in the state. of Wisconsin, is the fact that Robert Marion LaFollette, son of the late stormy petrel of the G. Oo. P. is running on the republican party ticket while those, who support Coolidge if they are, running at all are making the race. as independents. Yes, sir Robert Marion LaFollette, the heir to the LaFollette throne that was bolstered up by, socialists, left wing democrats, left wing republicans and sundry non-political. syndicalists in the last elections, is,on the Coo- ldge bandwagon, whether he lIfkes it or not or whether Coolidge likes it or not. John M. Work, socialist candidate for senator is grinding his teeth and cursing young “Bob” for, not passing over the political estate ,to the social- ists. ns Keeping Discreetly Silent. Robert ‘M. LaFollett, jr, will take his father’s place as senator from Wisconsin, according to all indica- tions. But young “Bob” is not say- ing much about “the malefactors of great wealth” who roused his father’s ire. He is apparently preparing his way to take his seat on the old re- jliable G. O. P. bandwagon, after he proves to the satisfaction of the G. O. P. strategists that he can bring home the bacon.

Expec t Hoover May Censor Radio (Special to The Dalty Worker} WASHINGTON, Sept. 28—Since the exclusion of Shapurji Saklatvala by the state department of America from participation In the Interpariia- mentary union congress, fear is felt that the department of: commerce, under Hoover’s guidance, may tempt to revoke the license of t broadcasting station which the Gar- land fund is leasing to put propa- ganda, other than that of the employ- gn olass on the air. The department of commerce has the issuing of 90-day permits to radio broadcasting stations under its thumb. The department of commerce has been given the right to decide as to whether the permit will be renewed and in the case of the broadcasting Station that has been leased by the Garland fund Hoover might attempt to censor the programs of the sta- tion. The congress has not as yet passed a law allowing Hoover the right to censure programs, this power will be taken on by him when he deems fit to do so. The announcement that strikers and radicals will be able to use the radio for broadcasting their side of the story does not appeal to the administration Build the DAILY WORKER. —_~.

"TORAY: the New York Times, under an unassuming head- line, “Soviet Port Officials Land,” publishes on an ob- scure page a short announcement telling of the arrival in this country of “three officials of the Soviet government of Russia.” They have come to attend the conference of port authorities to be held this week at the Waldorf Astoria. This marks a tremendous change since the day when Ludwig Martens, the official representative of the Soviet government in the United States, was expelled from the country, with the resounding crash of a tremendous broad- side of hostile capitalist publicity. e ° e ° All American workers and poor farmers. will hail the arrival of these builders of the workers’ republics, who rep- resent, of course, not the “Soviet government of Russia,” but the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, which includes all the lands over which the red flag of workers’ rule now waves undisputed. It is not expected that the kept press will say much about their visit to this country. To do so would reveal to the American working class the tremendous work of recon- struction that is going on within the Soviet Union; thus giv- ing the lie to the stream of propaganda that tries to belittle the achievements of the liberated masses who have freed themselves from capitalist rule. : ° e e e These men are engineers—builders—in the service of the Soviet marine transportation. The commission consists of L. P. Serebriakopf, assistant secretary of the ways of communication in charge of the water transportation; V. V. Touchoika, chief of the division of ports; and V. E. Laknisky, professor at the Leningrad Institute of Engineers. Very significant indeed, is the statement of Laknisky that: “Our port developments are to be on the basis of the export of raw products and for that reason we are interest- ed in the ports at New Orleans, Chicago, Buffalo and Cleve- land.” . The Union of Soviet Republics is planning to become, as it already is to a certain extent, a great exporter of raw materials. Thru New Orleans flows the great cotton. crops of the south. Thru Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo, there flow the tremendous streams of American foodstuffs, especially grains, and dressed meats; the finished products of steel mills and great manufacturing plants. The’ Encyclopedia Britannica declares that, “The grain elevators are among the sights of Chicago,” but the Soviet engineers will no doubt, find ways of improving even American methods of handling export grains, and other products of the Soviet mines, fields and pastures, from the great Russian ports; Leningrad open- ing into the Baltic; Archangel into the Arctic’/Ocean; Odessa into the Black Sea, and Vladivostok into the far Pacific Ocean. In the words of the commission itself: “We are in a egigantic plan to.improve these ports.” oy It is the stream of raw products pouring from all these ports that will establish credits for the Soviet.Union in other nations, making it possible to import the finished products needed by the workers and peasants. The mere presence in this country of the Soviet port commission is testimony to the fact that the construction process in the Soviet Union is proceeding rapidly and successfully. . * e . a Shapurji Saklatvala, the Communist member of the Bri- tish parliament, was barred from the United States because it was feared he might carry on propaganda subversive of American capitalist institutions. The Soviet engineers re- fuse to talk about “political matters.” But the successful establishment of Soviet industry, agriculture and trade will be the greatest propaganda possible for the spread of the Russian Soviet victory to all lands.

Sun Chuang Fang, military commissioner of Chekiang provinces and follower ot Wu Pei Fu. Gen. Sun Chuang Fang is suspected of attempting to occupy Nanking, the capital of the Kiangau province. This would give him control of Shanghai as all rail communications between Shanghai and provinces other than Cheliang must pass over the Shang- hai-Nanking raids.

Among “those reported seized are Matthais Rakosi and Zoltan Weinber- ger leaders of the Hungarian workers, Budapest papers are carrying violent attacks on the arrested workers, pre- tending that a “plot to assassinate” Horthy was being planned. Horthy’s massacres of hundreds of workers and thé barbarous tortures of thousands imprisoned following the overthrow of the Hungarian Soviet regime headed by Bela Kun, has made the Horthy clique apprehensive of every movement, however, “mild, of the workers. The Hungarian socialists have sup- ported Horthy even to the extent of making a signed alliance with him against the Communists in the blood- jest days of the white terror.
