The Amer- ican workers and farmers see the prospect of being seized and packed off amidst a new war hys- teria to fight the battles of Wall Street, to shoot Nicaraguan, Mex- lean, Chinese or Japanese fel- low-workers for the greater giory of American investments. In this situation the Amer- ican workers must turn to Lenin. it was Lenin who understood better than anybody else the real essence of Imperialism. It was Lenin, his party and his follow- ers all over the world, who have maintained an unceasing struggle against imperialism, from the be- ginning of the World War up to this moment. Lenin Is the great- est anti-imperialist fighter the world has ever seen! Lenin is dead. But the lessons of Lenin’s life and work still re- malin, allve and powerful.

Even the foreign residents do not claim that even one single death re- sulted from the activity of the “mob.” these lessons the American work- ers have much to learn to guide them in their struggle. These lessons the American workers and farmers MUST learn if they hope for any degree of success in their struggle.

The “charitable” missionary institutions which run on money supplied by philanthrophists among Chinese and abroad are so far out of control that in many cases they are proved to be merely ways of naking a soft living for American and Huropean preachers and physicians and teachers too incompetent to suc- ceed at home. 2 %,% By W. FRANCIS AHERN SYDNEY, Australia, (FP) — The Labor Cquneil of New South Wales has issued another manifesto demand- ing “Hands off China,” The manifesto reviews the exploitation of the Chin- ®se workers, particularly women and young children, by British, American, Japanese and French factory capital- ists and shows how the oppressed Chinese, thru their unions, are oppos- ing the terrible destruction of their child Hfe and the generally ruthless oppression by the ¢apitalist nations. It also points out hoW the foreign powers are subsidiging; Wu Pei Fu, Chang Tso Lin, and éther Chinese war lords to overthrow the People’s gov- ernment of China,. The manifesto concludes: : + press, Attacking INALLY the latest slander against the Union of Soviet Re- publics has found its way into the columns of the socialist press of this country, including the Amer- ican Appeal, the official organ of the socialist party, No capitalist sheet has yet pub- lished the fraud.

Charles E. Russell, one of Wood- row Wilson's flunkeys during the war, the patriotic jingo who accompanied Elihu Root to Russia, goes one better than Nathan Fine, who proposed that the socialist party lay down and die as a party, but continue to exist as something else. Russell would scoop out the remaining bowels from the party’s innards and delouse its voca- bulary.

He also suggests that the so- cialists forget the “War, fonget the peace of Versailles, forget everything but the United States.

But this did not stop the socialists on. this side of the Atlantic Ocean from continuing to parade this ghost in another frantic effort to frighten American work- ers and farmers with this latest anti-Communist bogey. It is therefore necessary to give some additional reply, especially since the American Appeal, in an editor’s note, naively declares that this story is vouched for “by the leading! German socialist p2pers.” ae ae It is nothing new to say that Kelloge’s department of state, at Washington, has a successful com- petitor in the German socialist press, in the spreading of anti-Bol- shevik fakes. Both of these agencies Jong ago eclipsed the British foreign office with its fake “Zinoviev let- ters,” forged copies of the Pravda and other coarse methods of spread- ing and developing anti-Soviet pre- judice, Anything should be possible for the German socialist heroes of the Barmat scandal, for the assassins of Liebknecht and Luxemburg, for the Noskes and Severings who, more than anyone else, helped rear the Hindenburg capitalist republic in place of German Soviet rule. The German socialists, who are and were the best allies of the Swastika- emblemed monarchists, now try to hide their own crimes behind a barrage of lies directed against the First Workers’ Republic, ee 8 It is no accident that the attack should come at this time, when the British lion is sharpening its claws for a new attack against the Soviet Union. The socialists, not only in Germany but their anti-Soviet col- laborators in all countries, become the best spreaders of propaganda for the London foreign office. What better attack against the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union than to claim that their government is the ally of Germany in breaking the Versailles peace. It 1s a dastard- ly attack, but socialists stop at nothing in their insane efforts to undo if they can the workers’ vic- tory. This attack comes at the moment when the socialist, Pilsudski, tries to strengthen his fascist tyranny in Poland thru the wholesale imprison- ment, torture and death of more Allen, John, Jersey City, N.

Greetings to THE DAILY WORKER ON ITS THIRD BIRTHDAY Communists Suffer Quick Collapse By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. Communists, It comes on the heels of the rise to power of the fascist tyranny in Lithuania, made possible by socialist treason to labor, 8 * The Soviet Commissar of War, Clement Voroshiloff, spoke no idle words in addressing the Commun- ists congress of the Moscow prov- ince, when he pointed out the steady increase of armament in capitalist countries, especially warships and airplanes; narrated the progress of the British policy of anti-Soviet “encirclement” and the growth of the fascist movement in the bour- geois states bordering the Soviet Union, He said: ‘ “The fascist forces in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Esthonia and Finland were 295,000 in 1923 and the regular armies 471,000, whereas in 1926 the fascist troops (especial- ly anti-revolutionary volunteers, etc.) reached 661,000 and regulars 533,000,” ae ee Voroshiloff raises the warning that the enemies of the Soviet Un- ion, among whom Britain is ranked first, have practically reached a decision to strike a blow this year. These enemies are maddened at, the sight of Soviet rule successfully pushing economic construction in the rapid building of the socialist state. The Soviet success, acting as an inspiration to workers every- where, menaces iniperialist aims and knocks unceasingly at the Pillars of capitalist society, It can readily be seen, in this situation, that the socialist canard spawned in the editorial offices of the Berliner Forwaerts and the Leipziger Volkszeitung, that have their counterpart in the New York Jewish Daily (socialist) Forward in this country, can only help bolster the anti-Soviet war plans of London and Paris made to order for the warmongers of Warsaw, Bucharest, Riga and Helsingfors. The German socialist “fairy tale” about the alleged Soviet plot to arm the German militarists is on a par with the Coolidge-Kellogg nightmare that Soviet Union inspired Bolshe- fires of discontent flam!nug in Mex- ico, Nicaragua and other Latin- American countries, not to forget the Philippines and China. To all this the Soviet foreign office at Moscow declares: “The Bolshevist peril is an old cry in such cases. The world al- ready has heard it in connection with the Syrian and the Riffan struggle for independence. It was no truer*then than now in Nicar- agua.” se These socialist frauds have just received a very severe jolt in the repudiation by the N. Y. official- dom of the American Federation of Labor of the Morris Kaufmann- Matthew Woll tissue of lies charg- ing that Moscow-Inspired Com- munists had bribed the police dur- ing the recent furriers’ strike in New York City. The attack on the Communists and the left wing in the New York needle trades unions is led by the socialists, supported by the A. F, of L. reaction. But Just as the capitalist press couldn't stomach the German socialist can- ard, so the Tammany Hall labor of- ficialdom tn New York City refuse to bolster the He against the left wing furriers, especially since the charge slapped back at the integrity of their own Tammany Hall police force. A lie must be well told if it is to pass successfully all the pitfalls that await it.

PAUL, Minn, Jan. 18— The Farmer-Labor conference which was called to strengthen the Farmer-La- bor Party of this state organized per- permanently this afternoon with one hundred and eighty-five deleg: seated, representing trade union: operatives, farmers’ and workers’ or ganizations, The spirit of the conference seems — to be for a strong repudiation of the propoganda spread over the country by enemies of independent political action by the workers and farmers, that the Minnesota workers and farm- ers were ready to abandon the Farm- er-Labor Party, and go back to the policy of picking the best men on the republican and democratic ticket, as favoréd. by the American Federation of Labor. Anti-imperialist Sentiment. Sentiment is particularly strong against the recent adventures of the government in following out the im perialist policies in support of Wall Street “investments in Nicaragua, Mexico and China. Resolutions call- ing for withdrawal of American naval _ forces from Nicaragua and against the threatening war with Mexico have been submitted to the resolutions committee. The Ramsey county dele gation has a resolution before the committee calling for the impeach- ment of Kellogg because of his policy ‘in Central America, leading the coun- try toward war. Name Committees, ‘Committees of the conference were organized this afternoon by having the delegation from each of the ten congressional districts of the state name a representative on each com- mittee. The committees named in- clude Committee on Resolutions, Com- mittee on Organization, Committee on Legislative Demands, Committee on Ways and Means and Committee on Press and Publicity. The various delegations were call- ed on to turn in the resolutions they had to offer, which were referred to the respective committees. In addi- tion to the resolutions mentioned above there are resolutions declaring for the building of the Farmer-Labor Party and repudiating the idea of go- ing back to the old parties, a resolu- tion for the building of the Farmer- Labor Association as the directing or- ganization of the Farmer-Labor Party, and basing it upon the units of the workers’ and farmers’ organization, which are to send delegates direct to all conferences. Urge Others to Follow. ‘Other resolutions call upon the workers and farmers of the country to follow the example of Minnesota in building a party of workers and farmers by organizing parties in their own state with the view of organiz- ing a national party in 1628 and plac- ing a national ticket in the fleld, and for the calling of a conference of the existing Farmer-Labor Parties in the Northwest and Southwest in order strengthen the movement, ° Small Opposition. The opponents to the Farmer-Labor Party in the labor and farmer move- ment of the state have thus far not dared to raise their voices for a change of policy thru which the work. ers and farmers would retrace their steps and go back to the ol parties. It 1s doubtful whether this proposal will be made in the conference, in view of the overwhelming sentiment for independent political action thru the Farmer-Labor Party among the delegates. Committees are at work tonight and will submit their reports tomorrow, when the issues will come squarely before the assembled delegates. ! : Comrade Julius Lersein le sought and is urgently
