eo ae Parse Two SHEFFIELD GOES TO STAGE BREAK, MEXICAN CHARGE Wall St. Envoy Lands in Capital (Special to The Dally Worker) MEXICO CITY, Nov. sador James Sheffield has returned to Mexico for the purpose of beigg able to stage a dramatic diplomatic depart- ure when the crisis between the Unit- ed States and Mexico is precipitated by the operation of the oil and land laws for the first time on January 1, is the opinion In political circles here. Only a mimor attache of the Mexi- can foreign office was at the train to greet the ambassador when he arriy- ed here and went, accompanied by the American staff, directly to the U. 8S. embassy building. He announced he would make the usual formal call at the Mexican foreign office and would ask for an audience with President Calles. ° Fights For Bosses. Aside from the questions of the oil laws and the raguan dispute, Sheffield is expected to bring up the matter of new labor regulations con- tained in a bill before the senate. American contractors and employers have protested against the. “prefer- ence to labor shown by the bill which has already passed the cham-/| ber of deputies and now waits con- firmation in the senate. Sheffield announced that’he brot no| new notes with him from Washing- ton. But it is expected he will en- ter into immediate conversations: with the Galles government concerning the oil and land laws. “He is faced with a complicated situation with regard to the nd of the United States on the oil laws due to the fi large foreign oil com ready registered t take out concessio title deeds as provided legislation on the subject. British Companies Sign. Two big companies controlled by the Royal Dutch Shell group, Bl Agu- ja and La Corona, are reliably report- ed to have applied for the fifty- concessions demanded by Mexican law to replace the fee simple titles of ownership uow held. This is ex- pected to make the situation of the large American companies, notably Standard Oil, somewhat embarrass- ing. The latter have declared their intention of not applying for conces- sions, According to the law, com- panies not registering their willing- nets to take the 50-year concession-ar- rangement in place of the titles they now hold, run the risk of having their properties denounced and taken over by the state. London Plays Game. The move of the British companies is taken as a thrust at their American competitors whose operations are likely to be suspended after Decem- ber 31, because of the stand they have taken. British interests in Mex- ico, it must be understood, are no more friendly to the oil laws than the Wall Street interests. But the rival- ry between them is sharp and the American companies’ holdings are much larger and have offered keen competition to the British. British diplomacy appears to be playing a game of its own while Wall Street is forcing an open fight which is expect- nies have al- willingness to in place of their for in the “ed to find its echo in the recall of denounce- | Sheffield when the first ment takes’ place subsequent to Jan. first. MAINE MESS IS WORRISOME 10 G, 0. P, LEADERS WASHINGTON, Nov. 28,—Charges of corruption against Arthur R. Gould, republican candidate for the United States senate to be elected Monday in Maine, normally a republican state, ure worrying republican leaders here. if Gould is defeated it will be a se- vere blow to the republicans as Maine is always declared to be the “baro- meter state.” And if Gould is elect- ed, it will mean a elush fund inves- tigation by the senate, which is equal- ly @s displeasing. So the G. O. P. leaders here see no relief in the sit- wation. Effects Senate Vote. The election in Maine is doubly im- portant because of the present align- ment in the senate of parties, where the voting strength of the two old line parties ts about equal. Gould is charged with spending too much money for campaign expenses, He was cleared of the charge by the Maine election commission, but the Stigma remains and may contribute to his defeat. However, he must still face a senate investigation, Fulton J, Redman, is his democratic oppon- ent. He is known to have the sup port of the ku klux klan.

SOVIET UNION MAKES CHANGES IN STATE POSTS (Special to The Dally Worker) MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Nov. 28— The death of Leonid Krassin is ex- pected to be the occasion for consi- derable reshifting of domestic and foreign posts in the Soviet Union. It is believed that George Sokoinikov, former commissar of finance and a leader in the opposition in the Com- munist Party, will succeed Krassin.

He praised Albert Weis- bord, the leader, highly, He also se- verely condemned the American Fed eration of Labor for its attitude on the had meant what it said.

This committee, organized jointly by the American Civil Liberties Un- ion and the International Labor De- fense, has just announced the begin- ning of a national campaign for the defense of the prisoners of the Pas- saic strike. Since the week of September 21 there have been held in the Passaic and Borgen county jails eleven men arrested on charges arising out of the strike. Six of the men, all married and under 85 years of age, are in the ancient Passaic county jail in Pat- erson under $210,000 bail. The other five, two of,them boys 18 and 21, are in Hackensack jail, of Bergen coun- ty, under $80,000. Rough Handling. Statements of these eleven mer, made in jail to their counsel and to officials from union headquarters, and printed in the committee’s pamphler, describe the third’ degree treatment given to the men-by the police. Paul Oznitk, an active member of the union and a leader on the Forst- mann and Huffman mills picket lino, before his arrest, is quoted as say- fiwé “The detectives jumped on me, kicked me any place they could. punched, blackjacked and pummelled me until I was weak and dizzy. Then they gave me a paper to sign. They told me if I would not sign they would beat me up worse. J signed, but 1 cannot read or write English, so I do not know what I signed.” William Skiora, sthe shy, inoffens- ive father of five children, related his experience in these words: “They took me into a little room in the police station and started to ask questions, and every time I answered. they said I lied, and struck me in the face, knocking out two of my teeth and bruisirig my face and body with blows and kieks. After a few minutes of this treatment, I don’t re- member anythinge~ Cripple Striker. The story of how young Tony Po chno, once jolly and good-looking, had his nose smashed and his hearing im- paired is told by Pochno’s strike com- panions in jail. He, himself, they say, has been a little “queer” ever since the beatings. Pochno was used by the police as a sample for the other prisoners of what would be done to them, if they didn’t say yes when the police demanded. Charles Current, not a striker him- self, but unlucky enough to have a cousin who fs, gives this account: “In -the police station, detectives punched me and kicked me anywhere they could. They did not care what they did. I was beaten up three times. I do not remember anything after that. I don’t know what hap- pened then. I did not care what hap- pened to me. I was in this dazed condition for four days.” 80 Cases Pending. The campaign started by the joint committee for Passaic Defense will raise funds not only for these 11 prisoners, but also for the 80 other cases now pending on appeal, among them the case of Albert Weisbord, former strike leader, now out on $30,000 bail. It will also care for minor arrests which come up daily. and which are a big drain on the un- lon treasury. To date there have been 80 arrests, and $27,063 paid out in fines. Contributions for the defense of the 11 prisoners, and others arrested in the textile strike, should be sent to the headquarters of the joint commit- tee for Passaic Defense, Room 14,743 Main Avenue, Passaic, N.

Brennan, chief counsel for the Barns- dall Oil corporation, denies the power cf the federal government to exercise control over the production of ofl and gas under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution. Brennan made this statement following the an- nouncement by Secretary of Com- merce Hoover that the anti-trust laws should be amended to allow oil com- panies to combine in order to “pre- serve” resources in times of over- production, Brennan such an amendment is not necessary, as the government h; nothing to say in the matter, anyway.

Fourteen days of mourn- ing have been declared thruout the Union of Soviet Republics, Thus does the revolution do honor to one of its Bolshevik soldiers. Krassin died in London, on the fleld of battle of Soviet diplomacy, where he had helped achieve one of the big “peace” triumphs of the Workers’ Republic, the forcing of the proud British empire into the Anglo-Russian trade treaty and the recognition of the Soviet Union. * * When the social revolution, born in Russia, failed to spread immedi- ately to other lands, the workers’ victory had need of such men as Krassin to meet with the diplomatic agents of the capitalist nations, So- viet diplomacy has been charged by the profit world with trying to com- promise Communism, with trying to Pave the way for the return of cap- italism to Russia, This will no doubt be the theme of the capitalist edi- torial writers in commenting on Krassin’s death, It is well, there- fore, to quote Krassin’s own views on this subject, He said: “As we recede from wartime con- ditions and advance toward recon- struction and peace, we proceed to- ward a business-like adaptation of our methods to those of real life, WE CALL IT NEITHER GOING TO THE RIGHT NOR TO THE LEFT, Whatever reports we may receive here, I am ‘sure that Lenin will never abandon his Communist prih- ciples, but as he is a practical man with a practical mind, he may de- cide in one matter or another to take a practical course with regard to present-lay conditions.” Thus Krassin sets forth the task of the Soviet diplomat, who, thru carrying on relations with capitalist -Bations abroad, does _ everything possible to strengthen workers’ rule at home, ee It was the late Samuel Gompers, as head of the American Federation of Labor, in conducting his attacks against the Soviet Union, who quoted Krassin, and thus paid tribute to him, to show that the Soviet Union was not being swerved away from the path toward Com- munism in its dealings with enemy capitalist countries. Gompers, loyal defender of capitalism, issued ghis “warning” to the Wall Street Zov- ernment at Washington, in his ceaseless struggle to prevent Amer- ican recognition of the Soviet Un- jon. President William Green, his successor, continues the campaign. eee Krassin was always close to Lenin. It was in an article published in May, 1924, in the “Soviet Russia Pictorial” that Krassin pointed out Lenin’s attitude on the foreign trade monopoly and concessions under the new economic policy. Krassin wrote: . “With the extension of the new economic policy and the growth of Russian exports of raw materials, a new danger arose. Growing priv- ate enterprise in. Russia clamored for removal of the state monopoly of foreign trade. The pressure of capitalist interests abroad was in the same direction. The position became very dangerous, and to whom would one turn’ if not to Viadimir Myitch. “Vladimir Iyitch resumed the chair- manship of the Council of People’s Commissars in October, 1922, but he was still ill, Altho he was con- fined to his room, he insisted on seeing me. When I had discussed the whole dangerous position, he said in a serious tone, ‘We must act.’ From that moment I felt that the foreign trade monopoly was saved. He himself studied all the material and wrote a letter giving his views, in the course of which he said: “The question is this—is the foreign trade commissariat to work in the interests of the ‘Nepmen,’ or is it to work in the interests of the proletarian State? This is the im- portant question which must be con- sidered by the party congress,’ “We foresaw that it export of raw materials was permitted, there would appear {in the villages the worst of exploiters, the speculative purchaser acting as @n agent of foreign capital. Our opponents pointed out that we allowed the entrance of foreign capital in the form of concessions. Lenin answer- ed: ' “No such results follow from the concessions, where we not only con- trol the territory but also hold in our hands the trade in the articles which are the subject of the conces- sions,’ ” ee oe It is necessary to emphasize this adamant attitude of Soviet rule to- ward world capitalism, on the occa- sion of Krassin’s death, since. the whole propaganda of the enemy press has been directed toward spreading the poison that Soviet diplomacy is some form of Machia- vellian deception that really works A By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. against the revolution and in favor of capitalism, Krassin’s whole career as a Soviet diplomat gives the lie to this propaganda, Soviet diplomacy is revealed* instead as one of the necessary factors in de- veloping the social revolution and strengthening it in that part of the world, where it has already gained a foothold, while capitalism prevails as an enemy fopce elsewhere, oa Krassin joined the revolution in 1891 while still a student. He was arrested while an undergraduate at the St. Petersburg Technical School and was sent to Siberia, Much of his time thereafter was spent be- tween jail and exile. The triumph of the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 found him in Moscow as engineer for a large concern, He immediately associated himself, with Lenin in helping to create the Soviet govern- ment, ee pe He accompanied Lenin and Trotsky when they went to Brest- Litovsk to negotiate the peace treaty with Germany, He became food commissar for the Red Army. As early as May, 1918, the Swed- ish legation at Petrograd (now Leningrad) began looking for trade with Russia, Later, in 1920, Krassin signed a private treaty with a Swedish Exporters’ Association. Similarly the Danish government was active in seeking trade in 1918, and in April, 1920, a private agree- ment was drawn up at Copenhagen between Krassin and Danish bank- ing and industrial elements. In 1922, Krassin was elected a member of the central executive committee of the All-Russian Soviet Congress, ee ee Krassin was a member of the So- viet delegation at the Genoa con- ference, in April, 1922, during which the important Rapollo treaty was concluded with Germany. Other members of the delegation were Chitcherin, Liavinov, Joffe, Voroy- sky and Rakovsky. Chitcherin is now commissar of foreign affairs, with Litvinov closely associated with him. Joffe is in Japan and Rakovsky in Paris. Vorovsky was assassinated in Switzerland during the Geneva conference, in which the Soviet Union had been invited to participate, It was also as Soviet commissar of foreign trade and commerce that Krassin worked to break down the capitalist blockade against the §So- viet Union. He visited the various capitals of Europe opening trade negotiations, He became the Soviet ambassador to Paris and later changed places with Rakovsky at London, “en @ The role of a Soviet diplomat in London has been a difficult one. Forged copies of Communist news- papers in the Soviet Union and forged “Zinoviev letters” as instru- ments of anti-Soviet propaganda, continuous complaints against “Bol- shevik propaganda” in India and other treasured British colonial pos- sessions, and lastly the bitter com- plaint of the British ruling class against the millions of dollars of strike relief sent by the workers of the Soviet Union in aid of the Brit- ish miners’ struggle, have kept the relations of Moscow and London continuously before the workers of the world, Concerning the results of this clash of rising Communism with dis- integrating capitalism, we have but to quote again from an attack by Gompers on Krassin, in which the American “labor lieutenant of capi- talism” declared: “There can be no doubt that the Soviet-British trade agreement was a tremendous victory for Soview prestige, both in Russia and in every country of the world.” eee Soviet diplomacy is a strong ‘weapon in the armory of the social revolution. Krassin knew how to wield that weapon as an able soldier of the social revolution.

Following instruc- tions from the British Embassy in to the Chinese militarists, This, the Pekin, the students were handed over | J Pekin paper points out, is in the-pres- ent situation cold-blgoded murder by the British authorities because they know only too well the fate of the students after they fall into the hands of Chang Tso Lin and Wu Pei Fu's officers, This deed, the Tribune continues, exposes Britain’s real policy in China and is decidedly unhelpful to. the hopes of better relations between na- tionalist China and England. The Brit- ish ambassador has handed over Kuo- mintangers to the militarist hangmen, altho their only crime was member- ship in the Kuomintang party and de- votion to the fight for a united, inde- pendent China, observes the paper. The Tribune declares that the only conclusion to be drawn from the inci- dent is that an agreement exists be- tween the militarists and the British for delivery of Chinese revolutionaries into the former’s hands, “Revolutionary China will néither forget nor forgive this deed of Eng- land’s” says the nationalist organ. It also asks the following questions: Does England want to destroy the last possibility of an understanding with the new nationalist China? Many Yhinese reactionaries have found ‘safe refuge in the British concessions in Hankow, Kiukiang and other cities, what does England say of this?

The last American destroyer, the Pillsbury, has departed from Wuchang to escape the low water. Hereafter there will be no destroyers sent above Wahu. near the top of the Yangtze delta, the farthest point inland they will be able to reach until the water rises again next year. \ While the river gunboats of the powers may still operate, they are un- wieldy and are confined for more stationary service to ports in which there are foreign concessions, All of which makes the problem of eat- ing for the foreign representatives of European and American capital ex- tremely difficult. The present situa- tion indicates that many of the inland concessions will have to be - aban- doned. “ef Hits “Waste Basket” News. SHANGHAI—That America is ex- porting, as well as consuming locally, rotten news is implied in an address made here by the former governor of Kansas, Henry J. Allen. He says that the Chinese are being fed with “waste basket” news from the United States, consisting largely of crime, movie rot, sport items, and the outpourings ®f cheap politicians, giving the Chinese a distorted view of Americanism, dis- regarding the fact that the service on news from America is ample of what this country consumes in large quantities. The fault he attributes largely to the prevailing cable rate of 40 cents a word. : He also charged that America is prevented from ha’ radio edinec- tion with China by ing by Britain and Japan.
