Chang Tsa-Lin, the Manchurian | brigand and his retinue of Russian white-guard hirelings would} never -have dared, on their own initiative, to violate the Russian consular property. He was the pliant tool in an international con-| spiracy to provoke the Soviet Union to war. But the leaders of the proletarian revolution in Russia are too familiar with the chicanery of capitalist diplomatic intrigue | to permit themselves to be incited by a plain bandit chieftain. | Their sense of responsibility to the working class and to the Chinese nationalist movement is too keenly felt by them to fall into such a crude trap. Even if Chang Tso-Lin represented a) government, which he does not, his act would not provoke the} Soviet Union to war, which would immeasurably complicate the| present situation and lead to a world: conflagration. | The affair is now definitely settled as far as Moscow is con- | cerned.

The exposure of the methods by which the “Big Four” com- panies—Metropolitay, Prudential, John Haneock and Colonial—- plunder millions of worker policyholders thru “industrial” insur- ance schemes and pile up enormous sums of liquid capital which enable their owners to control other gigantic profit making en- terprises, is the first attack on these leeches made in 20 years. It has cost The DAILY WORKER a ‘considerable sum of money and much energy to obtain this material. It is not being published merely to make public the startling facts which com- pose it. The DAILY WORKER believes that with the co-opera- tion of its readers a government investigation of these companies ean be forced which will disclose still more abuses.~ It is also possible to begin a movement for nationalization of insurance which can be linked up with other demands such as ) tionalization of mines, etc. The DAILY WORKER does not expect to revolutionize American finance and industry by the publication of these articles but it does believe that if our readers will write to congressmen and senators from their districts and states, to the capitalist préss, and use other publicity channels, that a demand can be ORE? aban" [Pioneer graduation in the evening.) “ xuctei outside of the New York } . * sty | a to the banquet will be fifty | Distriet write to Daily.
