There are certain people living in” this’eountry, particularly Communists, who have such little regard: ‘for the honesty. of the Coolidge administration’ that they will concli@e that the reason’ the republican senators are trying to stop investigations is because their exalted president and his mentor, the seérétary of the treasury who happens to be head of the aluminuni trust, are so steeped in filth | corruption that another investigation will discredit them before Ue whole world. It is an axiom that people who are guilt- less do not fear, but rather welcome the fullest investigation of their affairs. The history of the republican administration since 1921, when | the late Harding entered the White House, has been one of shame- less peculation. Every member of the cabinet, not excepting the sainted baptist layman, Mr. Charles Evans Hughes or the New England mummy, Cal Coolidge (then vice-president) was aware of and participated in the crimes of Mr. Fall and Mr. Denby and Mr. Daugherty. The stealing of the naval oil reserves for the benefit of Mr. Doheney and Mr. Sinel the rottenness uncovered in the depart- ment of justice, thru investigation initiated in the senate, branded this administration a criminal conspiracy. A number of. cabinet members were forced to retire covered with shame.’ Another series of investigations will reveal the fact that Mellon, Hoover, Davi Coolidge and the rest of the gang are tarred with the same stick. A new series of scandals will endanger the re-election of -the re; publican senators who constitute the very backbone of the Ol Guard, so these shifty creatures have decreed that they shall control future investigations at least until their jobs are safe for another six years. They are fighting for their political lives and. their desperation has forced them to resort to absurd methods of defense. Many simple Americans are at a loss to account for the rampant scoundrelism that pervades every branch of government at this time. Sentimentalists view it as the complete breakdown of morality. Anarchists and syndicalists will interpret it as evidence of the?in- nate futility of all government. The opposition party of capitalism, the democrats, will utilize it to aid them get into office. Only the revolutionist can explain it. A This is the period of the decadence, the decline, 6f capitalism, regardless of the temporary stabilization of the system. Whenever any system enters its decline its public functionaries are distin- guished for their vicious depravity, their almost unbelievable ignor- ance. The excesses of corruption now unleashed at Washington have their historic counterpart in the court debaucheries of the last of the French kings before the great revolution; in the de- baucheries of Louis the Little before the Franco-Prussian war and the Paris Commune; in the bacchanals of the monk Rasputin and the family of the czar before 1917. A system that stands in the way of human progress, that has become a fetter upon production, loses all virile, dynamie power. It discourages initiative and states- manship and utilizes the most base and ignorant puppets that do the bidding of the class desperately striving to maintain power against the current of history. In such a milieu any party that heads the government, that serves as the executive committee for the reac- tion, is bound to be corrupt. If the democrats were in power they would be just as viciously reactionary and yvenal as the republican administration of Mr. Mellon and Mr. Coolidge. Only the cleansing fire of the social revolution will be ade- quate to scourge from the nation the last traces of festering eap- italism now symbolized by the Coolidge-Mellon administration, just as it required cataclysmic social upheavals’ to write finis to. all other ruling classes endeavoring to maintain power after history had placed the stamp of death upon their features, A Necessary Law—for Mussolini Mussolini, the braggart despot of Italy, is so thoroly detested within the confines. of that nation that he and his fascist brigands control thru terror that a special law.had to be passed to protect him against public. expression of contempt. The law is described : as one that protects the fascist chief against “insult.” This is rather far-fetched. One totally devoid of principle, an apostate, a prosti- tuted lackey of the bourgeoisie, a murderous poltroon, cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be insulted. It is not possible to describe this wretch, say nothing of indulting him. Nevertheless, a Communist, Enrico Templa, has been sentenced to prison for six months and fined 500 lire because a pamphlet, con- i taining matter considered insulting to Mussolini, was found in his possession. Such a Jaw is unquestionably necessary at this time in the 1 Italy of Mussolini. In spite of United States assistance, thru the om 75 per cent debt cancellation and the Morgan loan, conditions with- in that nation are rapidly becoming worse. All elements of society except the maurading bands of fascist criminals that.exist thru prey- ing upon the populace, are seething with discontent.’ The desperate war-like gesture against Germany failed to fan the flame of national- ism and detract the attention of the masses from the crimes of the terrorist government. The law to protect Mussolini against: in- sults is not a sign of strength, but of weakness. Tho Communists are jailed for violation of this law the-despot cannot by deeree change the trend of the forces: that are ing toward the day that the fascist.prisons will fall before the h of the enraged proletariat and the blood-streaked monster will be drgwned in his own blood f | ) , + - | (From Tyomies, Feb. 13, 1926.) LTHO complete unanimity was reached in the convention of the Finnish federation after the most thoro discussion on the relations of the Finnish Communists to the ques- tions raised by the party crisis, the party nevertheless was not lulled to sleep by an illusion that there would no longer exist any remnants of con- fusion, On the contrary, considering all the various experiences which the ALommunist International has had in the reorganization in several parts of the world confusion was to be ex- pected in one form or another. On the side of the party it was con- sidered that surges of opposition would arise, among other things, in the annual meetings of the newspaper societies. The experiences confirm this assumption. Many signs pointed to it beforehand. Out of Isolation, HE Finnish federation had, lived in a very loose relation to the party. The party did not know what was hap- pening in the Finnish federation and the latter led its own exclusive life. The inner life of the party was for the Finns more a matter of guess than of knowledge. And then when, be- fore the last party convention, from e circles around Tyomies, there arose criticism of the party leader- ship and party affairs, it developed into an opposition, altho perhaps that | was not the aim at the beginning. The comrades who took up this criti- | cism, undoubtedly with a sincere pur- | pose, once they had started criticiz- ing, could no longer control the right | wing elements they had carried with |them. These right wingers came to | the top with the way® of criticism and |set their own mark upon it. The Askeli Affair. E pdrty convention was compel- led to use disciplinary measures. Henry Askeli was removed from the Tyomies’ editorial staff. He became a matyr for the more backward ele- ments. /The big questions of the party crisiggWvere put into the background and those elements saw only the per- son of Henry Askeli. In spite of all the assurances he gave the party, Henry Askeli could not master the temptation, but for a long time ex- ploited the sympathy of the right | wingers by keeping silent and so en- couraging the organization of the op- position. The same, purpose was seryed by the appeal of the editors of Tyomies for Askeli altho it was ex- plained that technical questions, not questions of principle, were the basis of. it. About the removal of Henry Askeli and the technical side of it the cen- tral executive committee gave a clear written statement. But the comrades who appealed still saw a possibility for a different explanation than Tyomies’ board gave, altho the central executive committee supported tl views of the board on the question: This question formed a technical ba: for the continuation of the opposition. The leaders of the opposition asserted that they are loyal to the party lead- ership. But the course of events showed that all elements pessimistie about the reorganization rallied around them. So this opposition be- came objectively an opposition to the party leadership, whether the leading comrades wanted this or not. The mistake of the comrades who intended to stick to the party line was that altho they realized the standpoint of the party and the board was correct, did not dare to recognize it in publics Fight for Right Policies. _ HE sub-district convention in Su- perior before the Finnish conven- tion met in this atmosphere. Reor- ganization and Bolshevization were of- ficially and unanimously appruved, but on technical questions many com- rades indirectly and circuitously came to an anti-party position.. The oppo- sition worked under the cover of at- tacks on comrades who ;had worked consistently for the party. line. The Finnish convention; defined our relation to the Communist Interna- tional, the party leadership, reorgan- ization and Bolshevization. It repu- diated sharply all téndencies ob- jectively leading to sidp paths, In spite of this, there was/im: the annual meeting of Tyomies a “well-organized opposition which tried%to settle the disputed questions by the power of their share-holding. As before, this opposition asserted loyalty to the party, but in technical ‘questions. it had different proposals’ that might have led to precarious paths. The most convincing proof’ of that was their attitude toward ‘Askeli’s re- moval, the report of the board con- cerning the relations between the edi- torial staff and the board,'and the pub- lic statement on this question. The opposition, altho weak, voted against the stand of the board, approved by the election of the board, when the opposition, with determined unanim- hands of opposition members. lines, there was a thoro discussion for a day and a half. the central executive committee, Also “(PHEN, on Sept. 6, Askeli published ity, tried to place the board in the} qount about Comrade Askeli to any On two points in the annual report|authority of the party had any sig- of the board, concerning the political | nificance, As those points |held, Sept. 10, when it had the official are not yet made public and as the|information by Comrade. C. E. Ruth- But that was not the case’ with the editorial staff. The editors had been closer to those statements and the thoro explanation of them hurt them more, “H, Askeli continued, as one of the editors and one of the framers of the statements, to defend them and tried to show Finnish affairs in a better light than they had been shown dur- ing the dispute, but in his eagerness he did not see that he had come to defend “Federation patpjotism.” “The result was ete party lead- ership exerted all pressure in order to discipline Askeli, who was asked in the party convention to repudiate his incorrect views if he wished to be an editor of a paper controlled by the party. Askeli did-not do this, because he supposed that the masses were be- hind him,” “So the party convention unanim- ously decided upon the removal of Askeli from the editerial staff of Tyomies. The question came up in the board, Sept. 1, when Comrade Tenhunen made a report on the con- vention. The board decided unani- mously that the question of Askeli’s removal would be taken up when there was official information \about the decision of the conventio: “This decision has caused eated attempts. by the editorial staff to ex- plain it in such a way that the board has requested the editorial staff not to make a report on the convention, he decisions and future forms of varty work before they get official di- ections from Chicago.

The Hayden and Taylor Bills. HE bills introduced by Congress- man Hayden of Arizona and Con- gressman Taylor of Colorado provide for a veritable deluge of deportations. The Hayden bill appears to be a very innocent measure. It declares for the punishment by imprisonment, not more than three years, and by a fine of not more than $2,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment for any foreign-born worker who has come back to the United States after being deported, In order to hit as many as possible of the foreign-born workers, the Hayden bill also proposes to apply this measure to those “who may here- after be deported from the United States in pursuance of law.” Mere at- tempt to re-enter is sufficient to entail for the worker this severe punish- ment. Prison and Deportation en Masse. In an effort to guarantee that the workers will be punished to the limit, the Hayden proposal declares that the deportation shall not take place “until after the termination of such imprison- ment,” There is practically no difference whatsoever between the bill proposed by Congressman Taylor of Colorado and the one proposed by Mr. “Hayden. Any attempt of a deported worker to return to the United States will be considered a felony and imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine of not more than $2,000 or a combina- tion of the two will be the reward. Hundreds of workers have already been deported from the United States, Only a very small proportion of the great mass of workers deported in the notorious Palmer raids can be called mental defectives or afflicted with contagious diseases, or insane. In the main, these workers were deported for having ideas dangerous to the con- tinued rulé of the’ United States by the exploiting class, the executive arm of the government is being prepared to smite the foreign- born workers and consequently the whole working class. Bills are now being framed to appropriate huge sums of money to enable the govern- ment agents to round up foreign-born workers who, in their opinion, are de- portable or who, in their opinion, should be sent back to"the countries of their nativity regdrdless of the consequences in storé’ for the de- portees, A bill has alteady been re- ported appropriating an additional million dollars for thé immigration service. Most of this tioney will be used to deport foreign‘born workers supposed to be here in’ violation of the law. od According to Mr’ Carl White, assistant secretary of lwbor, there are in the United States at least 250,000 foreign-born workers who are deport- able under the existimg laws. One need not ponder much to conclude that there will be matty more thou- sands of such workers eligible for de- portation after the »migious Hayden and Taylor bills are enacted. Commis- sioner of immigrationwHarry E, Hull goes Mr, White better,and says that the number of foreign;born workers who may be deported even under the present statutes approaches the sum of 1,300,000, Will Spend Money Without Limit. E have heard very much about the worries of Coolidge and his clique as to the cost of government. The fact of the matter is that Coo- lidg and his cabinet are worried re- garding the cost of government only when such expeditures benefit the masses. But the agents of Wall Street do not seem to be worried in the least at this time when they have con- sidered that it would cost twenty-five million dollars to deport 260,000 for- eign-born workers, \¢.

This the house committeo on sm iicsty Woy not enough, aééording to Mr, y) Curran, He called it only a good start, The significant fact is that the plan of the government is to make a frontal attack for deportation of the workers in such centers as New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Pitts- burg, Detroit, Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis, These are the principal indus- trial centers of the country, In these districts one will find the heaviest congregation of foreign-born workers because it is in this territory that the biggest basic industries of the coun- try are located, These are rather auspicious plans for the Wall Street government. The deportation and registration laws must not be considered as isolated items by themselves, These attempts of the capitalists are obviously only part of a general campaign. They are part of a whole plan worked out to destroy the effeetiveness of the Am- erican workers—of all the workers in America, regardless of their nativity— fighting back against the continuous encrochment of the bosses on the working conditions and the standards of living prevailing in the United States, The American capitalists are pre- paring for intensified competition in the world market. They feel that in order to hold their own they must intensify the exploitation of the work- ers. The workers’ standard of living must be reduced. Consequently, the unions must be smashed. In order to smash the unions, what must be done is to attack the weakest sections of the working class, to divide the work- ers on artificial lines and thus to crush more easily the proletarian for- cos, ——.

The opposition constantly brot up petty technical questions and ques- tions of detail, which were in part con- tradictory to the documentary evi- dence. The opposition carefully avoid- ed stating their political line and tried to get rid df the question with assur- ances of loyalty. Those comrades who were unconditionally in favor of the party presented documentary evi- dence and’ thoro statements of prin- ciple, explaining consistently the po- litical lines’ Which were the basis of the party diséussion and the objective results of the opposition under such auspices. ‘Thus the discussion became a fruitful explanation of the questions of principle dnd ‘the results of it ‘will be felt wheréver the delegates aré Annual Meeting of Tyomies By K.

After that, from the near-balance of the forces in the district convention to the refec- tion of their position in the Finnish Convention. In the Tyomies’ meeting the opposition still came out as an or- ganized minority with petty technical points but always as an opposition. But now, to speak seriously, we must hope that the comrades will completely abandon, this position and close the lines, leaving no possibility forthe right wingers and confused elements to use their names as a symbol, ~ |, When. we learn to become Commu- able to go deep “into party question A Sweeping Victory. i ws at. last the discussion was ripe for the question, a vote by a show of hands was taken and the,re-, port of the'board was approved by .33 votes against 12. Then at the request of the representatives of the: branches the vote on shares was taken. The result was. 2,406 for and 801 against, the report of;:the board. But when the representative from Minneapolis presented to the. secretary a written, statement that he approved the stand of the board in principle, but voted against it only on the technical point, that Comrade Askeli should have received thirty days’ notice be- fore removal, the result of the vote became; for the report, 2,744 and 457 against. Of 17 who voted against, 11 were in one way or another connected with Tyomies and only six were not. Also the broad mass of the share- holders have almost unanimously taken their stand for the party lead- ership and for the board of the paper. This fact is of great importance be- cause this shareholders’ meeting was more widely participated in than ever before and because representatives were sent from a greater area than any time in the last seven years, This shows that the interest in inner- party questions has grown greatly and that the crisis as regards the Finns is clearing up...The Finnish memher- ship has taken a stand decisively for the party line, not permitting any per- sonal questions, to ¢onfuse the issue. The editors who were the center of the opposition declared at the end of the meeting that they would yield without protest to the decision of the overwhelming majority.

What. is. the ground for the differences. within a Communist party? Not questions of personalities, altho those. who think superficially and do not go deeply into causes are often inclined to look at these questions as personal matters. The basis is the judgment of how dif- ferent groups view the situation and the proper strategy and tactics, And since it is clear that the group which has judged the situation most nearly correct will in concrete work show it is right and win, if not otherwise, with the help of the Communist Inter- national. Its necessary that the group which has been incorrect in its analy- sis of the situation work loyally for the party after the discussion, No tendencies which depart from the line laid down by the Communist Interna- tional can be maintained without leading these comrades outside the party, that in spite of all mistakes in the past, is the only party in this country which bears the standard of the revolutionary proletariat unitdd in the Communist International. If one group in a cer ituation has been more nearly correct in its analysis of a situation than another this does not mean that this group or the comrades in this group have a monopoly of being correct in every future situation. Far from it. In the Communist Parties, as history has shown, there appear always new groupings in connection’ with new world situations. But these group- ings have nothing to do with the old ones because these latter are liqui- dated with the decision. New group- ing can occur only in connection with a new situation and the group which then is more close ‘to concrete life is admitted as the leading group and will be empowered to carry out ‘its plans. : At the Tyomies annual meeting. the points under discussion were formally petty and technical.
