Enea Sornienti, Communist editor and speaker, bitter and unrelenting enemy of Mussolini and his mercenary scum, has been deported from the United States by the Wall Street-Coolidge-Kel- logg-Hoover government. Once the haven of refuge for victims of old world tyranny the United States now deports as undesira- bles the political exiles from the murderous regimes of Europe. The government’s transformation from the defender of po- litieal exiles to the blood-hound of every despotism on earth has its economic base in the fact that the ruling class of the United States has an interest in maintaining in power the tyrannies of |! other nations because of its constantly increasing investments in foreign lands. After cancelling three-quarters of the Italian debt tothe United States government in order that Morgan could make , new loans at a higher rate of interest, it is perfectly logical that the government should try to stifle the enemies of fascism in this country. When the United States was a young capitalist giant, ex- panding ‘its industry with amazing rapidity, the demand for labor caused it to adopt an immigration policy that would attract work- grs from Europe. Wave after wave of immigrants rolled upon these shores, each of them making a permanent contribution to the upbuilding of the economic structure of this country. In the past the older immigrants could move on from the industrial hells | to the free land of the great Middle and Far West. The closing} of free lands riiade impossible further migrations, so the newer immigrants had to stay in the industries—and fight to resist the industrial despotism of the “open shoppers,” the scab-herding “company unions” and the open agents of capitalism’as well as the labor lieutenants in the trade unions. Thus is added: another reason for the fierce assaults by the Wall Street government upon the political exiles of other countries who come here and partici- pate in the labor movement. Sormenti was deported not merely because of the fact that he was a brilliant leader of the Italians in their fight against fascism in Italy, but also because he devoted | his energies to building up the Communist movement here, which| means that he engaged in all struggles of labor. | While every revolutionist is infuriated at the deportation of | Sormenti it is not as disastrous as it might have been, thanks to the splendid defense he obtained from the International Labor Defense. The government originally intended to deport him to Italy where he would have been instantly murdered by the crim- inal fascists, but the pressure on the part of labor and the ex- posure of the role of the government as the agency for hounding} down the enemies of Mussolini caused the department of labor to permit Sormenti to depart for any other country he might choose that would have him. Naturally, his destination is the only coun- try left on the face of the earth that guarantees a haven of refuge for the political exiles of capitalism—the Soviet Union. Sormenti has gone from these shores. He was with us but a comparatively short time and fought to the best of his ability. The workers of Italian as well as other nationalities with whom he worked will close the ranks and carry on the fight in which he was a leader. Not only will the fight against Italian fascism, im- ported to this country by. special agents of Mussolini, continue, but the fight against the native brand of fascism must go on. One of the most effective ways to fight fascism is to organize to smash | those union-wrecking agents of the employers—the Wolls, the McGradys, the Fraynes, the Greens, the Sigmans—who, although | pretending to oppose fascism in Italy, actually use fascist methods | against the American labor movement. The necessity for this} fight was considered by Sormenti as the most pressing problem | in this country. The United States government has deported Sormenti as it/ hag-deported many in the past and will deport others in the future, | but the Workers (Communist) Party, of which he was a member | will carry on the fight against- fascism inside and outside the United States until its bloody banners fall to the dust never to rise again. We will fight against the imperialist despotism that t him away from us. until we have conquered it and established in its place a workers’ and farmers’ government and bring back Sormenti and the other deportees to laugh over the grave of cap- ‘italism in America. The Irish Elections. It is yet too early to estimate the exact degree of the defeat inflicted on the government party in the Irish Free State in the recent elections, but incomplete tho the returns are, it is clearly indicated that the Republicans, split into two groups, and the La- bor Party have made heavy gains at the expense of the gov- ernment. The Republicans are definitely against the treaty that ushered | in the Free State. The Labor Party accepts it on the ground that as long as capitalism exists one government is just as bad as an- other, a pure and holy principle in the abstract, but like patriotism the refuge of those who wish to hide their surrender behind some gaudy cloak. With 117 out of the 152 contested seats already accounted for, the government party has only succeeded in winning 36. One opposition anti-treaty “party alone, had 34 in its favor when this count was made. The severe jolt received by the government party is not only an indictment of the Free State government but it is a blow at British imperialism, which was the real issue in the election. The Free State government is and has been from the beginning a loyal flunkey of Downing Street, It catered to the interests of the cap- italists and landlords in Ireland and constantly expressed its will- ingness to conform its policy abroad—within the narrow limits permitted it--with that of the empire. _ Its brutal treatment of the republicans who remained faith- ful to the anti-British-imperialist policy of the men who made the Easter Week rebellion, its cold-blooded “executions of men who fought against the Black and Tan terror, left rankling sores in the |mobile plants, HE DAILY WORKER Some Problems for Worker | Correspondents By J.

Our American Worker-Writers have | ‘much to learn in getting at the facts and all the facts. Frequently their! contributions contain everything but) the facts. One classic example of in- correctness was turned in by a writer! jwho defended his mistakes. There; were six alleged facts in his story, }none of which were correct. The ex- cuse offered was that the story wouldn’t be read anyway. Thus the} writer fails to comprehend that his artic myst be linked up with the jactual struggles of the ‘workers, aid- Lettish and others strive more or less} to develop worker correspondents in their various tongues. This means a big duplication of effort and a failure to coordinate the work, especially in big industries, like the steel mills, on the railroads, the coal mines, auto- metal mines, rubber plants, textile mills and the clothing industry. This multiplicity of lan- ing them in their there is nothing workers more statement of conditions with which they are perfectly day-to-day labors. Must Develop Consistent Effort. Of course these delinquencies are merely, indications that our Worker- Writers making these errors do not that will exercise the proper care in their work, | ’ do not seek a correct understanding of the task before them, and do not concentrate on this task with suffi-| cient effort to get the proper results. Thus worker correspondents’ groups are organized with considerable enthu- | siasm, but just as soon as some of the greater difficulties arise, these groups quickly go to pieces.

Young Lindbergh did all the stunts a hero is supposed to do. Made brief speeches over the radio, accepted entertainment from the nabobs of the city and paid homage to the dead of the past war by laying a wreath at the foot of the pole bearing the “eternal | light” erected as a political maneuver by ex-Mayor John F, Hylan. There was something symbolic about the “eternal light.” It symbolizes the illusions of every ruling class. They like to think of themselves in terms of eternity; to believe that as things are now so they will ever be. But the class that erected the thing and that seeks to profit from the Lindbergh achievement by using | it to forward their own sordid militaristic aims is no. more eternal than the flimsy light bulb that frequently has to be replaced by Conn. ..
