ee sa WORRIED BY BARRAGE OF LIES. Works in Armeniait By WM. F. KRUSE. (Moscow Correspondent of The DAILY WORKER.) t bd recent hectic orgy of fake news | stories and alarmist rumors that ~raced the pages of the capitalist press in America gave unmistakable proof cf a fact as cheering to labor’s vanguard as it is distasteful to the bosses—that among the working class there is a mounting interest in the affairs and progress of the first workers’ and peasants’ republic, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. The big American dailies do not waste their ink on such subjects un- Jess the workers are thinking about them—and thinking favorably. When this interest on the part of the rela- tively backward American workers reached the point of crystallizing into a trade union delegation to visit Soviet Russia—what else was to be expected than precipitate activity from the lie-factories of Riga, Buch- arest and Chicago? But this activity proves too much, as well as too little. It does not prove its original assertions of dis- cord and disintegration in the Soviet Union—these yarns are so improb- able that even a considerable section of. the American capitalist press was moved to remonstrate—it proves in-| workers’ economy. stead that the workers of America| are beginning to stir along the samte lines which their fellow-workers of | Britain, Germany, Austria, Belgium | and many other countries have long | since travelled, namely, to the inter- est in and the gathering of first. hand information, through a workers’ dele- gation, about what is actually taking place in Russia today. It is for the purpose of helping to meet this renewed interest that the following data is submitted. j Where is Russia Going. | Every worker, in Russia or else- where throughout the world, is vitally concerned with this question. What is the line of development—is it up- ward or* downward, is it toward the | increasing socialization of . industry or is it objectively strengthening the position of the “new Soviet bour-| geoisie”?

WASHINGTON, May 22. dent Goolidge’s “peace” emissary to Nicaragua, Henry L. Stimson, may not have had much trouble in “per- suading” the revolting Nicaraguan Presi- | generals to disarm, but he will not have quite as easy a time of it dis- arming criticism in congress. Mr. Stimson is going to have to explain quite a number of things to certain congressional quarters, It was authoratively indicated by a source very close to Senator Borah, chairman of the senate foreign rela- tions committee, and Senator Swan- son, ranking democrat’ on the com- mittee, that they propose hailing Mr. Stimson before the committee when congress convenes and giving him the opportunity of “persuading” Truth about Soviet }) Russia.

Hailed Coolidge Lie. Mr. Stimson’s “peaceful” pursuits | in Nicaragua did one thing as far as the administration is concerned. It ended for good the pious obse tions by President Coolidge that the United States government was not trying to meddle in the affairs of the revolution. This was of course] a bald lie, but outside of a few anti-} administration journals, the myth was supported. Anyone who was all informed knew that the admi istration was solely responsible for} the elevation of Diaz to the presi- dency and that he could not hold the office twenty-four hours if the Amer- ican marines were withdrawn. The expose of Stimson’s activities in Nicaragua, his threat to the revo- lutionists, which has already mater- ialized in armed clashes between| marines and revolutionists, put an end to the lying sham of Coolidge and Kellogg’s pretences of non-par-| tisanship. So it has been with other matters | in the Nicaraguan affair. Through- out the months it has staggered from | one brutality and blunder to worse, | it has always been the case that every | assurance that either Kellogg or) | Coolidge gave turned out to be ex-| actly the opposite and every denial | they uttered to have been a miser-| able lie.
