Lore and Loreism - Ludwig Lore, until recently a mem- ber of the C. E. C., secretary of the German bureau and editor-in-chief of the Volkszeitung, was expelled from the party by the umanimous vote of the national convention of the Work- ers (Communist) Party, held in Aug. 1925. ; Who is Lore and why was he expel- led from the Workers Party? Lore was the leader and spokesman of the remnants of the menshevik and social-demoeratic wing in the Workers Party and as such was con- tinually im conflict either with the C. E. C. of the party, or with the Com- munist_ International itself. Every decision of the party as well as every decision of the Communist Interna- tional found in Lore its bitter oppon- ent. Open Enemy, of the C. I Lore, like many ‘others before him, posed as a Communist and continual- ly declared himself a loyal supporter of the C. L, at the same time that he sabotaged its decisions and propagated his own views, in contradiction to those of the C. L. Twice he was called upon to defend himself before the C. I. and the third time the C. I. itself tried to compel him to go to Moscow to defend himself, but in vain. Even after his expulsion Lore de- clared himself as a loyal supporter of the C. I. But only for a moment. Hardly a week passed and he changed his tactics towards the C. I. and from a “loyal supporter” he became an open enemy. He is now engaged in organizing the “International Work- ers’ Society,” the aim of which is no- thing else but to break the lines of the Workers Party. Only about half a dozen of his personal friends follow- ed him into this new counter-revolu- tionary organization, which must end up sooner or later, in the arms of the social. patriots, There is no other way. Such is the course of all such ‘traitors. For a certain time they pose as innocent victims then, seeing their isolated position, they begin to spit out upon their former comrades all their wrath and proceed to stab them in the back. This was the way followed by Levi, Hoglund, Friesland, Bubnik, Beranek, etc. This very same way is followed now by Lore. Follows In Footsteps of Bubnik. Bubnik attacked the Communist Party of Czecho-Slovakia from the rear in its most critical time, the time when the party was organizing and leading the popular demonstrations against the high cost of living. Al- most immediately after his expulsion he organized the handful of his follow- ers into a so-ealled “Independent Com- munist Party” and started to publish a daily paper, being supported of By JOS. KALOUSEK, Secretary of the Czecho-Slovak Fraction Bureau, Workers (Communist) Party of America. course by the bourgeois Czecho-Slo- vakian government. Beranek at the last conference of the Czecho-Slovak section, held in March 1924, also declared his loyalty to the C. IL, at the time when he had his entire plan of desertion carefully prepared, After his desertion he also organized a so-called “Marxian” Fe- deration, which pretended to “follow in the footsteps of the” C. I,” but which, right from the beginning, fol- lowed in the footsteps of the Second International, and by this time has melted into it entirely. The aim of all sueh “Communists” is the same, conditions and circumstances only are different. They all begin and end the same way. The Czecho-Slovak fraction bureau of the party, taking into consideration all these circumstances and also the serious situation in~- which our party finds itself now, during its reor- ganization and bolshevization period appeals to all the Czecho-Slovak work- ers who are members of our party to unite the ranks into one solid body for a fight against whatever remnants remain of Loreism and Beranckism. A Lesson For all Comrades. Comrades: try your best to con- vince all members who still hold to such ideas, of their erroneous and doubtful standpoint and bring them in- to the ranks of the reorganized party.

Pershing is willing to allow it. The commission is supreme, but Gen. Pershing has “power to entertain appeals from the commission.” Pershing has exercised his power to prolong the stay of Am- erican naval forces in Arica, he has postponed the date of the plebiscite and is doing everything in his power to thwart it.. The opinion prevails that he is working according to care- fully elaborated instructions, with a view to insinuating American imper- jlalism so deeply into the situation that its imfluence will be felt thru all of South America.

Let’s get them!”—stormed the crowd. Some of the rioters began to crawl up to the garret. In their attempt to escape, the victims broke thru to the roof, but they were captured on the roof killed and thrown down, others -|jumped down. The woman was attack- ed and thrown down from the garfet together with the child that was al- ready dead. Those who were not kil- led outright died under the ironclad heels of the boots of the wild crowd. Altogether seven were killed in that one house.“Some escaped by feigning death. The pogrom raged all day and late into the night. In the meantime telegrams were being exchanged between the govern- or and the ministry of inner affairs. Next morning the peasants from the villages who attempted to get to town They were -|were met at the city limits by police and ordered to return back home. “Why, what happened?” they in- quired, They were informed that it was “for two days only, now yon must go home.” They went home, O crowds were perinitted to con- gregate in the streets. The order of the police captain was usually suf- ficient to disperse a crowd.

The main thing for the American nitrate and other inter- ests is that whatever country receives the nominal sovereignty over Tacna and Arica must be easily dominated by the imperialist will of the United ‘AN South “Amética fs looking ask- ance at the antics of Gen. Pershing and his aide in the Tacna-Arica af- fair. Such things have long been fam- ally a policeman or a soldier would use the fist or butt of the gun, but more for the fun of it. Gradually the storm died down. There were hundreds killed, thous- ands - wounded, over a hundred girls outraged. Some of them committed suicide later on. Many went mad. Among the killed rioters were found a@ gendarme and some policemen dres- sed in civilian, For months the mute witnesses of the tragedy—the burnt and blackened buildings,—stood as sentinels over the dark and deserted streets. Some of the owners were killed, others left town. The house at Aziyatskaya No. 13 was not touched by a human hand for over a year. The blood of the victims was on its walls. People were afraid to pass near that house at night. ‘There were rumors that at night wailing was heard there, that was the blood of the innocent crying. The superstitious dark people, christ- fans and Jews alike, believed these rumors. The christians would cross themselves passing that house, the Jews would whisper a prayer. * * * E political demonstration of the revolutionary organizations was postponed indefinitely, Later on we learned that the po- grom was arranged at the suggestion of Von Pleve, the minister of inner af- fairs, for the sole purpose of frustrat- ing our demonstration, The local gen- darmes were the organizers of the po- grom, they also printed the circulars about the christian blood in matzos. The pogram was also expected to bring in race hatred between the Jew- ish and christians workers and there- by prevent their organization against the common foe, the murderous bloody czaristic government. This fiendish plan worked for a while, but not too long, as will be ex- plained in the other stories to follow. Many circumstances, as for instance, the old and inherited traditions, habits and methods of the old organizational apparatus, and probably the insuffi- ciency of our educational activities, are at the botiom ofthe fact, that some of the members still do not see and do not understand the necessity of the reorganization. Help them along; but fight with all possible means against those who stand against the reorganization of the party in principle. Only in a reorgan- ized party, which will respond to the seriousness of the situation and to the coming political and economical conditions, will we be in a position to become real Communists and Bolshe- viks, going forward in the spirit of Leninism, There will be many obstacles. It is necessary to discuss them thoroly and then act. If you become consci- ous of all the obstacles, you will easily overcome them; if not, they will ap- pear later when you probably will not be in a position to deal with them suc- cessfully. The object of every party member at present should be the bolsheviza- tion of our ranks! Long live the Workers (Commun- ists) Party! Long live tional! the Communist Interna- iliar in Central America and the Cari- bean region, where the “Monroe doc- trine” is mightily enthroned, but this is the first time that the peculiar method of “Monroe doctrine” penetra- ‘tion has pushed so far south. The whole tread of American imperialism indicates that it will not be the last. Police Guard Millions.
