B, Thomas, referee in bankruptcy, who was ap- | pointed by English and who was also named in the charges, “which involved the handling of bankruptcy cases, re- signed almost immediately. The charges first received notice in the house of representatives in Wash- ington when Congressman Harry B. Hawes, senator-elect from Missouri, introduced a resolution in the house asking an investigation of the judge’s conduct. A sub-committee of the house judiciary committee had pre- viously obtained evidence against the judge and the full committee recom- mended impeachment, Held Stock In Banks.

The man who igs paying the bills, the railroad magnate Samuel Hill, has begun a little personal war against Maj. Stan- ley Washburn, the ° queen's aid. ‘Obey me, or I'll crush you,” is the un- gentle phrase used by the queen’s “angel” to her aid which is said to have started the spat, Shut Out Governor.

Nicholas, learned too well that such measures as Kellogg invokes now against Kollontay will not avail, eee The czardom in power exiled Kol- lontay. She was not permitted to live in czarist, Russia, She spent her years before the revolution ‘of 1917 in Germany. But she never for a moment hesitated th her sup port of the revolutionary cause. Be- fore the war‘she was a familiar figure, with Clara Zetkin, at the congresses of the Second (socialist) International, Not-only in the con- gress itself, but also in separate gatherings of the women delegates, where the development of the rev- olutionary struggle among working women received special attention, Kollontay was ever active. Her voice was raised against czars and kal- sers everywhere, Kollontay in Ber- lin, was just as much a threat to the czardom as Kollontay, in Mos- cow or St. Petersburg (now Lenin- grad), This the czardom found out. Internal conditions within Rus- sia, the struggle of the workers and Deasants against oppressive czar- ism, did not lessen in intensity be- cause Kollontay along with thou- sands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, were exiled, imprisoned or put to death, So the internal conditiong/ in the United States today, the bitter ex- ploitation of workingmen, women and children in mills, mines and fac- tories, do not change for the better, they are not rendered less oppress- ive and bearable because the Coo- lidge-Kellogg state department for- bids Kollontay+the right to enter this country, ee Kollontay was among the first of the exiles to re-enter Russia follow- ing the March revolution, in 1917, that ended czarism, and she was one of those who struggled valiant- ly to crown that revolutionary effort with the Bolshevik triumph that came in the following November, the anniversary that we now cele- brate.

N REVOLUTION — in America Fears Growing Numbers of the Communist Party By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL, On this anniversary of the Soviet Revolution, the workers and farm- ers of this country may well give some thought to this condition, As they scan the news columns read- ing of the comical antics of Queen Marie, of Roumania, welcomed to this country by the Coolidge-Kellogg government, let them cohsider why the queen of Roumania's terror gov- “ernment is permitted entrance to this country, with the whole gov- ernment grovelling at her feet, while Kollontay, coming from a Jand where labor for the first time in al hunfan history. has finally succeeded in ‘striking off its chains, is barred. If labor considers this problem rightly, it will have made an advance step toward the day when it, too, will rid itself of its ezardom, shaking off its kaisers, and make it possible to welcome with open arms as honored guests the spokesmen of the Union of* Soviet Republics, and the spokes- men of the workers of other coun- tries who may rid themselves of their capitalist oppressors from time to time until all the world is freed from the profit tyranny. se -Kollontay doesa’t want to stay in the .United States. She merely wanted to pass thru this dolla land on her way to Mexico City, where she will act as the Soviet ambassador to Mexico. She was for- merly the Soviet representative to Norway, Kollontay applied for a visa at Berlin to go thru Wall Street’s domains, but was denied this by the American consul general at the German capital, “with the full approval of the state depart- ment at Washington.” Let the American workingclass stand in humble respect before labor in Norway and Germany, and especially in Mexico, with all other countries where spokesmen of the Soviet Union may come and go be- cause the capitalist ruling class fears to deny them admission. eee The news reports state openly that the United States government denied the visa to Kollontay be- cause she is “one of the outstand- ing members of the Russian (All- Union) Communist Party.” This furnishes an excellent sug- ition to revolutionary workers in ~ the United States who are not yet members of the Workers (Commu- nist) Party of America, the Amer- ican Section of the Communist In- ternational, Dollar rule fears the powerful Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Republics.
