Max Hastman, the darling of parlor Bolshevists* and the pet of wealthy liberals, had just published “Lenin’s Testament” which was expected to knock the Central Committee for a row of bearded drosky driv But on the same day that Eastman’s first stunning article appeared in the New York Times, Trotsky and Zinoviev burst into the Pravda with a repudiation of their conduct. Ti was a sad night in Greenwich village when the poets fore- xathered to chant hymns of hate against men of easy virtue and spayhetti backbones. Here was the Trotsky who quelled the Kron- siadt revolt, actually refraining from “expressing” himself lest he impair the solidarity of the party! This was something the villagers could not understand. To the liberals the Russian revolution was a splendid thing so long as it was novel and qppeared to them as a revolt against cap- talist babbitry. But just as soon as it proved that it was a hard- hoiled proposition, that did not hesitate to shoot when required, it Jost its glamor and the liberals, while continuing to exist com- fortably on dividends wrung from the bodies of the workers by the habbitarian but efficient Garys, Schwabs and Insulls, began to see that they made a mistake in espousing the cause of the Russian revo- lution too soon. It would be much more pleasant to have the old ezar back and-dream of the freedom to come, while sipping the mid- night coffee, rather than bother about such prosaic things as in- creasing production, the relations between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry, helping the Chinese fight the imperialists and raising money to help the British strikers. Mr. Qgwald Garrison Villard is the owner of The Nation. Un- doubtedly the editorial we are referring to expresses his position on the matter. Even the most liberal of mortals can insist on those who eat at their expense doing their bidding. Recently Mr. Villard had the pleasure of being entertained at Buckingham Palace. We have not seen any editorials in The Nation dwelling on, the imbecility of human beings continuing to crawl before a kingly toper. The Nation admits that such discipline as Trotsky and Zinoviev bowed to, is permisfible in time of crisis. But is not the Soviet Union in a crisis today? Nobody knows better than Villard that every eapitalist nation in the world is only waiting for the first indication of weakness in the All-Union Communist Party to turn their wrath loose against the workers’ republic. Until that danger is over, and until the workers of the rest of the world succeed in getting rid of their masters, the dictatorship of the workers and peasants must stand, no matter how distasteful it may be to the liberals who neither work nor spin but live in the enjoyment of material comforts. Amer- ican workers have plenty of demoeracy? but the great majority of them have litide el And if they protest against their misery they miss their democracy. : k How is it that most of our liberals gag at the Soviet gnat and only grin at the fascist edmel? A “Popular” Dictator What was once the king of Italy and what is yet the pope, have expressed joy over the escape of.Benito Mussolini from the fifth at- tempt to ruitt his. anatomy with bullets. From the frequency of the attempts made on this person’s life the suspicion is gaining that the blackshirt dictator is not as popular as certain people would wish, among those being Benito himself. Itinerent scribblers, -particularly Americans, insist that Mus- solini is the most beloved ruler in Europe, that the masses regard him as their savior and that but for him Italy would be by now in the grip of the damnation bow wows. Be that as it may, if the loving admirers of the renegade social- jst, persist in their efforts to show their love for him by taking pot shots at his august person, even the type that grows eallouses on the belly from crawling to the aristocracy may be shaken in their blind faith as to Mussolini's popularity. The fifth attempt to reduce the population of Italy by one fas- eist has failed, But perseverance can moye mountains, it is said. The Italians have their faults, but their most prejudiced enemies will admit that in their loves as well as in their hates, they are ardent, bold and persistent. Perhaps one of Mussolini’s admirers in the Cicero bootlegging colony will present him with one of those steel vests that MeSwiggin was looking for around Al Capone’s territory when he met’ his Waterloo, DETROIT SECTION PLANS | ELABORATE PROGRAM FOR ‘DALY WORKER, SATURDAY DETROIT, Nov. 2,— Readers of The DAILY WORKER are promis- ed a splendid time at the first af- fair for our paper to be held here this season on Saturday night, No- vember 6, at Croation Hall.

The statement, signed by Attorneys Nathan C. Coghlan, Alex L. O’Grad: ind Carroll S, Bucher, says in part: Instigated by Open Shop. “The murder charges which have been preferred against certain mem- vers of the Carpenters’ Union, were, »f course, instigated by the Industrial \ssociation. These arrests have been ade in-utter disregard of the truth, nd without a syllable of evidence of guilt of these men. The object of arrests is, of course, obvious. {t is the demand oy the Industrial As- sociation’s committee of 100 that the laws of the people be suspended in order that the strike of the Carpen- ters’ Union may be broken. They have arrogated to themselves the au- thority to dictate to the mayor, the board of supervisors, the courts and the grand jury, ignoring the fact that the law of the land provides ade- quate means for the apprehension, conviction or acquittal of those charg- ed with the commission of the crime.” Labor Rallies to Aid.

Smeared With Violence. Organized labor is pointing out to the public that the, Industrial Asso- ciation, which is ng@w posing as a “de- fenders of law ‘and,order,” is smeared with a record of lawlessness and vio- lence in its attempt. to check the ef- forts of the unionists to make union conditions prevail in the building in- dustry of San Francisco. Have Affidavits, i According to evidence in the hands of Attorney O'Grady, backed by sign- ed affidavits, the Industrial Associa- tion offered thugs, and gunmen as high as $1,000 and as low as $250 for shooting union men. For slugging union men with black- jacks, for’ which purpose “Black Jack” Jerome was imported, bonuses were paid from $50 to $100. Fake de- tective agencies were employed by the association to carry on the work of violence. The attorney has in his possession an affidavit showing the thugs who entered the house of Dan- iels, a union carpenter, on May 26, and beat him nearly to death, were in the pay of the association.

Voices From the Sea Echoes from Ports and Vessels Under Various Flags About the U. S. S. R. ARTICLE I. Where Is the Danger? HIS question ought to be put, first of all, to the captains of the} french ships.: For a long time the! rews of French steamers arriving in| tussian ports were subject to a sort f blockade by their own administra- | on: members of thé crews were not | ermitted to go ashore for fear of | red contamination.” The sons of beautiful and free | ‘rance scanned the shore at Novoros- } Poti and Batum, watching the aptains and mates and the rest of he commanding officers as they went ashore and returned, and their fellow seamen of British, German, Greek and | other boats promenading on shore, while to them the only consolation was in the knowledge that they were the free-born citizens of the gredt and | free republic. Nevertheless these free-born citizens were not permitted by the captain to go ashore. NCE there was a gathering of for- eign seamen at the International Club and, surprised at the absence of seamen from the French ships in the harbor, and on learning that the lat- ter were not permitted by their cap- tains to go ashore, they grasped a red flag and betook themselves to the port, where they held a big demon- stration alongside a French steamer, denouncing the fictitious “liberty” of the French republic which serves as a cloak for the police brutality exer- cised by captains of steamers. It was an affront to the fair flag of France, but it had the desired éffect. Since then the situation has changéd and the French seamen got permis- sion to go ashore. And what did they see ashore? eee reply to this question is far nished by the crew of the French steamer “Ionie,” which recently (in June, 1926) visited the port of Novo- rossiysk. In a letter addressed to the administration of the Lenin Memorial Sanatorium at Anapa they write: “We, the seamen of the French steamer ‘Ionie,’ accompanied by the administration~-of the International Club of the city Noyorossiysk, have, inspected your sanatorium and were immensely pleased to learn that at the Lenin Memorial Sanatorium about 120 workers obtain the facilities for rest and recuperation, We were im- pressed by the spotless cleanliness and perfect order and equipment of the sanatorium. er i “We thank you most sincerely for the cordial reception you have ac- corded us, and we shall always re- member that under the Soviet regime the proletariat creates for the toiling elements all those comforts of life that under the old yregime were en- joyed only by the exploiters.” r[anse impressions are further am- plified in the separate letter re- ceived from Comrade Chantebien, one of the delegates of the crew of the S. S. “Ionte,” which concludes his de- scription of the visit to Anapa in the following words: “We were profoundly impressed by the good maintenanee of these instt- tutions, and by the cordial reception given to us. We have carried away with us an indelible impression of AIMEE’S GOSPEL DOPE FOR WORKERS By QUEEN SILVER. LTHO the love affairs of Aimee Semple McPherson are now anci- ent history, there are other things about her which have never been brot out. Mrs. McPherson has played a very important part in keeping the minds of the workers inactive. She is a member of the Chamber of Com- merce, and is one of the greatest al- lies that big business has locally. Her religion is one which has proven very effective in keeping the workers: con- tented and satisfied. It will probably continue to be effective for this pur- pose for some time to come. By en- ticing the slaves with the message 0! future rewards, Aimee Semple Mc- Pherson, along with other theological fakirs, has proven a great help in keeping the thoughts of the people away from their present existence, aera the thoughts of the workers upon the mansions in ‘the sky which they hope to receive after they are dead, religion—of which Aimee is but one representative—serves to keep the workers satisfied with their filthy lodgings here on earth, By teaching them to take no thought for the morrow, religion keeps them from worrying about their émpty stomachs and the fact that they may starve to death soon, Religion teaches them that “the greater your sorrows in this lite, the greater will be your reward in heaven’ »§0 the slaves believe that their expjéitation in this life 1s but a steppingwtone to a higher and sreater Ife” beyond, HE worker, if he believes Aimee, velleves that é¢ven if he starves to ath tonightdt will be simply @ re Te y id method of transporting him to the heavenly ‘beyond, to, the New Jerusa- lem. Also, Aimee is a striking ex- ample of the inconstancy of evangel- ists. She preacheg,the ideas of six thousand years ago-the ideas of the donkey-back, ox-cart age of civiliza- tion, amd she uses every scientific de- vice known to make known her doc- trines. She opposses every form of scientific investigation, and she uses the radio, the most modern result of scientific research, to preach her doc- trines. While trying to induce the people to adhere to the ideas of from two to six thousand years ago, she preaches in a temple built and deco- rated by the latest achievements of the builder's art. “When she travels she makes use of all the means which can possibly contribute to her com- fort, Even when eoming from her re- cent trip to Mexico (7?) she came on the train, not on donkey-back. Alto- gether, Aimee is merely like others of her creed, strong on preaching, but mighty inconsistent when it comes to carrying her doctrines to their logi- cal conclusions, Oe thing more, let me say, for my- Self, that 1 do not object to Aimee’s methods of conducting her personal life. She ¢an do anything she pleases in that Mne and I will not object. What I do object to is the hypocritical creed which she preaches, and which she expects others to swal- low. My opposition is not against her moral conduct against the creed she preaches and per efforts to make the rest of us up to the moral code which she openly flouted by her actions a= the things seen here today, ana are eager for further study of the new institutions of U. 8. S. R. “We are friends of Russia, and I can assure you that our hearts have been won for your ideals. ~ With feel- ings of joy and pride ‘we lUstened to the strains of the ‘International’ in your free country, and we could hot help thinking that in the near future other nations may follow in your téot- steps. I therefore exclaim from the bottom of my heart: long live’ Soviet Russia! Long live the world revolu- tion! ‘Long live the’ Interfiational!” IHUS, indeed; there appears. to be danger lurking in *the ‘Soviet ports: French seamen have*just got ashore, and already they shout, “Long live Revolution! Long live the Inter- national!” f But things are not found to be any better at Hamburg. There the “red danger” attacks the ships ‘from the shore in the shapes of bundles of lit- erature. Please do not imagine that it is any particularly terrible litera- ture, like “Zinoviev letters” or “Com- intern instructions.” x O, it is the simplest literature ob- tainable from a newspaper stall in any French city, consisting of “Hu- manite,” “La Vie Ouvriere,” the par- liamentary speeches of Cachin and Doriot, labor papers, and so on. In a word, it is revolutionary, but per- fectly legal French literature. But it finds it way from the German shore to the French steamer. And it is ac- companied by an invitation to the seamen’s International Club. This .is the thing, which terrifies French ship owners and captains, In their anxiety to protect the minds of imately $500 will be ready from the’ their subordinates they try to bar admission aboard to “outsiders” and hunt for the “réd danger,” but in vain, The same things are in store for them at Rotterdam, Copenhagen, Bopdeaux: and at any port all over the world. Nowhere are they safe from the pene- tration of the “red-danger.” It haunts them everywhere, It overtakes the capitalist ships on all the waterways and imbues proletarian crews with the consciousness of.the international solidarity of the: working class.
