Frankly, this busi- ness does not look good to me. The governor is a politician and fears that whatever decision he may make will have a detrimental effect on his political career so he brings up a few reserves who in all probability have no reason to fear the wrath of any section of voting Americans. * * * HAT we fear most in this situa- tion is the danger that this com- mittee might surrender sufficiently | to the popular claim in favor of | Sacco and Vanzetti to commute their sentences of death to life imprison- ment.

Workers who are familiar with the great fights through which we have gone during our existence realize that the present struggle to retain in this stronghold of the world’s mightiest imperialism at least one English daily that cannot be silenced by the forces of reaction is their fight. From Detroit, Michigan, comes a check for two hundred dollars—money raised among the workers in the slave pens of that city. The Workers (Communist) Party nucleus in the Ford auto plant contributed $75 of the amount from Detroit. They have not forgotten the fight we put up against Fordism more than a year ago, and they want us to live to lead other fights. Today our two members of The DAILY WORKER staff, William F.

MOSCOW, June 2.—The plenary session of the Moscow Soviet, after hearing the report of Alexis Rykoff, President of the Council of People’s Commissars, adopted a resolution en- tirely approving the Soviet govern- ment’s action aiming for the preser- vation of peace, expressing readiness to support all measures for the de- fense of the USSR, and calling upon the population to organize effective methods’ of financial self-defense by ensuring the successful realization of state loans. ‘They aro the fimgy "emi of the force of 5,000 marines that is being rushed to Tientsin in prepara- tion for the imminent fall of Peking.

Thus no opportunity has been left to counsel for the Italian workers to refute the vic- ious lies béing woven anew to as- sure their death. All three members of the new commision are conservatives of the accepted New England stamp. No matter how hard they strive for “impartiality” their own class bias and the class nature of the case will inevitably color their decisions. Now as never workers must rally to the cause of Sacco and Vanzetti with the cry of “freedom or death,” the same cry uttered by Vanzetti himself in his statement to the governor.

This is no casual fact y but a invation ef the hostile pbi- | ley which British conservative govy- }ernment has pursued since it came jinto power against the first prole- tarian state. The Soviet Union is the biggest obstacle in the way of the realization of the principle predatory designs of British conservatives. Pre- cisely for this reason the conserva- tive government has now passed to open energetic preparation for fresh attacks on the Soviet Union. This pre- paration has the closest connection with the deepening crisis of capital- lism.generally and British capitalism in the first place. Building Socialism. The USSR with one hundred and | fifty million population having long since shaken off the yoke of the capi-+ | talists and landowners is building 9+ cialism.in the Soviet country and pre- sents an infectious example to the toiling masses of the Eastern and Western peoples, standing in the way of the predatory efforts of imperial- ism. | Menace in China. The huge country of China with {four hundred million people strug- |gling to rid itself of the shackles of imperialism is creating for imperial- ism new unsurmountable obstacles |and Jays bare more sharply than ever before the contradictions of modern society. Contradictions between mili- tant imperialism on the one hand and the proletarian dictatorship of the USSR and the national liberative re- volution of China on the other hand show imperialistic policy rests on | ground ever more tottering. There is | grave danger of attempted solution of these conflicting interests by acts of violence. This danger is becoming the more real that in the most im- |portant European states open, unre- ‘strained reaction is actually supreme. Drench World in Blood.
