No Reply on Furriers, President Green said he probably would not return to New York until after Feb. 1, to confer with the au- horities there regarding the report of the Woll committee charging Commu- ntot dominance and bribery of the po lice in the furriers’ strike, Neither Mr. Green nor any other member of the executive council would comment on criticisms of the report made by Ben Gold, head of the joint board which directed the strike, or Joseph Ryan, president of the Cen- tral Trades Union, The council members declared them- ves ready, however, to turn over to the authorities all the information they have collected regarding the sraft charges and to co-operate in every way. * Announcement has been made here of the resignation of Charles Moyer, president of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smeltermen with headquarters in Denver. President Green stated that new officials would be chosen at a convention of the or- ganization now in session in St. Paul, The resignation of Moyer comes as the climax to a long period of interna} struggle during which the union mem- bership has dropped from 4,000 to 6,000, by regular labor A : SerenNanS i.) 9 eee & SWAMP KELLOGG | On and After WITH DELUGE OF | Socialists Propose An SHARP RIDICULE Beserconiae Slavery for the Press Criticiad ism of His ‘Red’ Scare Mounts WASHINGTON — (FP) — Not since Mitchell Palmer attempted to terror- ize the American public by his “red raids” and fantastic stories of bomb plots into making him president has a cabinet officer come under so heavy a fire of press ridictile ‘and spoken contempt as has Seetetary Kellogg with his “Bolshevist Alms” document, offered in explanation; of) his Nicara- guan-Mexican attacks... Thick and impervious as is the skin of the former corporation law- yer, the printing in the Congressional Record of editorials from leading metropolitan newspapers, condemning his excuses and questioning his men- tality, has made an impression. Kel- logg now wants the country to un- derstand that in that wecret meet- ing with Sen. Borah’s committee he told the history of Nica¥aguan inter- vention, He even claimed that he did not know that his “red scare” document was to be made public. There was no comfort for Calvin Coolidge in the editorials dealing with Kellogg’s literary effort. The New York World was crnel enough to analyze it, starting off with the sen- tence: “Contemptible as the docu- ment is in its spirit, its purpose, its substance and its reasoning, it is nec- essary to pause over it and analyze the character of the evidence on which the secretary of state has put his seal.” Nor could Coolidge be flattered by | the inferences contained in‘ this sen-} tence in the Baltimore Sun’s editorial: “For we doubt seriously whether! ever before in the history of this na-| tion has the head of the’ state depart-| ment appeared in public’in a state of | such utterly indecent intellectual ex-! posure.” i | Finally comes a ¢ablégram to the Pan-American Federation of Labor from Secretary, Trevino of the Mex- ican labor movement, quoting his let- | ter of protest to Kellogg, in the name of his organization, against the “lack of truth in your declarations before the foreign relations committee of the U. S. senate.” Trevino says that Kel- logg quoted from his ’speech in the Mexican chamber of*deputics in a way that distorted its meahing. linn Sugar Workers Earn 40 Cents BATAVIA, Java--@P)—In the su- gar industry in Java, the mills are up-to-date and fully equipped with the latest machinery, driven by electric- ity.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN WM. Z. FOSTER ™ Victims of Imperialism) LENIN MEMORIAL By J. LOU! HE socialist party has at last is- sued what purports to‘e an of- ficial declaration on U. S. imperial- ism’s aggressions against Mexico, Nicaragua and China, The contents of the statement are interesting, in that they further re- veal the milk-and-water liberalism of an organization that still stries to sail under the name “Socialist.” For instance, the Socialist Party, in the homeland of American impe- rialism, demands the “immediate re- vision of the unequal treaties against which Chinese anger is ris- ing.” The Chinese national revolu- tion, under the leadérship of the Kuomintang, is demanding the com- plete abrogation of all these treaties. Thus the Socialist Party, which still claims to be a party of social revolu- tion, demands less than the Chinese nationalists. In fact, the American, British and Japanese imperialists would be very happy if the Canton- ese revolutionists would agree to the mere revision of the “treaties” imposed under the guns of warships and at the points of bayonets. But this is not the first time that the So- cialist Party has acted as a propa- ganda agency of the imperialists. see It is also of great interest, how- ever, to note that it took the so- cialist officialdom more than two weeks to act in the Nicaragua-Mex- ico-Chinese situation, product of the collective brain ap- pears, not in the official organ“of the party, The American Appeal, issued in Chicago, but in the New Leader, published in New York City as the expression of the Hillquit- Oneal-Cahan wing of the party. It was during the Christmas week- end that Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer, appointed dictator over Nic- aragua by the Coolidge-Melon-Mor- gan regime in Washington, began landing the marines, loyal’ imperial- list soldiers, on the shores’ of the Central American republic. But the New York socialists were so. busy, bolstering up the reactionary attack on the left wing and the Commu- nists in the needle trades, that the New Year's week-end passed ~ and half of January was gone "before the socialists . finally issued ‘their statement in the Saturday, Jan. 15th, issue of The New Leader. oe oe This emphasizes again that the socialists have three centers around which they gravitate. The national office is still maintained in Chicago, evidently for lack of initiative to dump it elsewhere. The local so- cialist movement in the nation’s sec- ond city has disappeared. But the Chicago office is very clearly :iso- lated from the other two centers, that maintained by the socialist con- gressman, Victor L, Berger, in Mil- waukee, around his daily, The Lead- er, and the eastern group that takes its leadership from Abraham Cahan and his Jewish Daily Forward. The Chicago editor writes his own views on American intervention in Nica- ragua, Berger is silent both in con- gress and in his paper, while the New York clique has finally issued the Statement signed, “The Social- ist Pax in which the plea ap- pears that: “Every lover of peace, as well as every fover of American honor, must be profoundly concerned to op- pose the ruthless policy of economic imperialism backed by the use or the threat of force upon which ‘the Coolidge administration has em- barked.” This appeal would doubtless in- clude Coolidge, Kellogg, Latimer and even J. Pierpont Morgan, him- self, since they all claim to be “lovers of peace.” Coolidge said so in his speeches at Kansas City, dedi- cating a memorial to the victims of the last great slaughter, and also at Trenton, N, J., commemorating the victory of the colonists in the revolutionary war of 1776. The whole plunderbund is also strong for “American honor.” That is why, they claim, a great section of the American navy is now hemming in Nicaragua along both its western and eastern coasts, to “protect life and property” in the name and for the glory of American honor. But this is only to be expected from the socialists who prefer the capitalist state of the profiteers to the Soviet State of the workers and farmers (see testimony of Louis 50th STREET AND EIGHTH AVENUE Tickets in ad’ Street; Ji Macy SATURDAY EVE, JAN. 22, AT 8 P.M. - o ADMISSION: 500, 750, $1.00 ' at Workers Party headquarters, 108 East 14th Higgins Book Shop, 127 University Place, all party papers, & and that the’ S ENGDAHL. Waldman at the Albany trial of the expelled socialist agsemblymen), or who vote liberty arches in honor of those who fought in Morgan's war (refer to war-time stand of -social- ist members of the New York board of aldermen). When the socialists joined in the LaFollette campaign in 1924, they adopted the slogan of “Back to '76.” But the honor of a revolution 150 years old, as well as its traditions, while comfortably placed in history’s pages, have little application today, especially in Nica- ragua, Mexico and China, except as inspirations for new and greater struggles, e Socialists who seek an alliance with the “lovers of peace,” mantling themselves ‘in “American honor,” are always found on the side of the, moneyed crowd, and the socialist party confesses this in its desire for an amended imperfalist slavery for the peoples of China, +e 8 Even the Federal neil of Churches and other pacifist organ- izations would hardly be guilty of claiming that American diplomatic policy is now “alienating historic Chinese friendship with America.” Because the Chinese masses, until the past two years, have been yoked. and forced to their knees by foreign imperialism, in which the Wall Street brand has played its brutal part, that does not mean that China has even admitted any friendship for the United States. In fact the Chinese place the American. im- perialists in the same category with their British, French and Japanese foes. The socialist party state- ment infers that if American gun- boats were withdrawn from Chinese waters, and if the American dip- lomatie policy would dull the spikes ” on the club of its “Dollar Diplo- macy,” then the oppressive rule‘ of the American” dollar would be ac- ceptable and the phantom Chinese friendship would be restored. This is to take the false position that imperialist oppression can be ad- justed satisfactorily upon the backs of subject colonial peoples. It is an echo of the American Federation of Labor theory that the capitalists and workers, thru class collabora- tion schemes, can co-operate to- gether harmoniouly in the produc- tion of super-profits, with the troublesome class struggle never. disturbing the reign of “class peace,” ese The trouble with the whole theory of the socialist party leaders, which is not a socialist theory, is that the situations in Nicaragua, Mexico and China give the lie full in the face to the socialist party nonsense. American “Dollar Diplomacy” has developed in harmony with the seds of the Wall Street imperial- § This development is directly ontrary: to the interests of sub- ject peoples, and the inevitable con- ‘et ensues. When socialists urge “constructive co-operative foreign policy” on the imperialist robbers, ey place themselves in the comic sections, only to be laughed at, specially when they urge that their measures constitute “the road to honor and peace.” a It may be taken for granted that American workers and farmers, who still smart under the enforced participation in the last war, will not be flimflammed by this rainbow offering of the socialist party, Work- ers and farmers, as we have already seen in the actions of the Chicago Federation of Labor, the Denver (Colo.) Trades and Labor Assembly, and in the Minnesota Farmer-Labor conference, instinctively reject the “honor of peace” path under cap- italism, offered by the socialist sirens, and launch their attack directly against thé profit monster. The fight against the socialist soporific,is part of the struggle to unite American labor with the peo- ples oppressed under “Dollar Dip- lomacy,” for the common conquest of imperialism, Subscribe to the The American Worker Correspondent 1113 W.
