O’FLABERTY. iSHOP William T. Manning of the} protestant episcopal church Z of | New York is using ‘much of his time while in Paris deploring the general laxity in morals thruout the world. We doubt very much if the bishop’s| fulminations will make the boule- vards less morally hazardous for the visiting rube from Hicksville as | wicked but beautiful Paris as with-| stood the shock of many a clerical | blast and should Manning be success- | ful in his campaign against what brings the dough to the gay city on the Seine he might have the Ameri- can Legion on his neck. * dV theological snout shooter, it is true, did not place «ll the blame | for the wickedness rampant in the | world on Paris. In fact, Manning at- tributes it to a plot hatched in Mos- cow and carried by agents to the far- thermost, corners of the earth. Per- haps it was.a Moscow germ that bit King Benjamin of the House of David | or implanted the virus of lascivious- ness in the emotional bumps of thou- sands of Manning’s co-clerics whose | animadversions make such good copy for harrassed city editors on dull Sundays. E are willing to bet a bale of Po- lish zlotys that the reverend mouth organ of imperialism was not} so much concerned over the number | of souls that might go to hell gladly | as a result of following the path of pleasure as he was over the damage the existence of the Soviet Union is doing to the social order which fill his guts with food and covers hi parasitic hide with the best of rai- ment in return for his services as in- jector of religious dope into the brains of the workeys. And in addi- tion to the reverend gentleman’s de- votion to capitalism in general he has a soft spot in his heart for England in particular where his episcopal opium joint was sired and damned. * * * ‘HE war between two of the Stan- dard Oil babies and the British oil companies is going on merrily. This Iry and the general commercial competition between the United States and Great Britain is chiefly responsible for the failure of the Genev: al conference. The tone of mor indignation assumed by the British oil magnates is highly amus- ing to the initiated. They accuse the Standard Oil company of New York of entering into an unprincipled al- liance with the Soviet government for the sake of filthy lucre. Can any- body imagine a virtuous British capi- talist subserving morality to profits? | F * | so happens that the Royal Dutch Shell did its royal damndest to make an unprincipled alliance with the Soviet Union oil monopoly but failed. It wanted a monopoly on this “stolen oil” but could not make the grade. The British oil companies do not seem to be getting any more benefit out of the diplomatic break with the Soviet Union than the rest of British industry. | Sa ae Te remarkable letter written by Nicola Sacco to a friend published in last Saturday’s DAILY WORKER (Continued on Page Four) | Fine Workers Who Demonstrated For Sacco and Vanzetti Two workers were fined, one held on $500 bail for Special Sessions and} a fourth dismissed for participating | in the Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration | Sunday afternoon which marched tc | City Hall, demanding the release of | the framed-up workers, Arthur Madrigon, of 1672 83rd St. Brooklyn, was fined $10 on a charge of “disorderly conduct.” Madrigan| was leading ‘the parade from Union| Square to City Hall when a police-| man ordered him to stop the parade.

Vanzetti, despite a light breakfast this morning is also extremely weak as the result of his long fast. Plans for the forcible feeding of the two framed-up workers are being |considered more seriously by the prison authorities. In winding up the “review” of the “case” today Governor Fuller investi- gated the organization and the finan- ces of the Sacco-Vanzetti Defence. A Selicani, treasurer of the De- fense Committee, Gardner Jackson, publicity director, and Joseph Moro, secretary, were interviewed by Ful- ler. Millions of Friends. Jackson and Selicani were inter- viewed together and afterwards Jack- son stated that the Chief Executive requested an explanation of how the | committee was organized and how it j had been financed for the past seven ly Jackson said that the defense manced by “little contribvtions from millions of persons all over-v.. | world.” Very little cash was on hand, he added, denying reports that the Defense Committee had plenty of funds, Jackson and Selicani also told | the governor of certain incidents ‘of | alleged unfairness at the Dedham trial of the defendants, according to Jackson. | Governor Fuller is slated to hand down his decision on Wednesday. That | he will condemn Sacco and Vanzetti | to the electric chair or to life im- prisonment is regarded as certain.

It is in- timated that Ambassador Sheffield made a special journey from Mexico City to the imperialist headquarters in Washington for the purpose of furnishing Coolidge with a list of “atrocities.” However, Sheffield and the Cool- idge gang are silent regarding the monstrous, atrocities committed by bandit priests who led an attack on a train which resulted*in many deaths. This move on the part of the Unit- ed States government is carefully timed and is intended to place the Calles government, which has opposed the demands of Wall Street upon the defensive, and aid the Wall Street candidates, who are opposing former President Obregon, who stands on the same platform that the Calles gov- ernment has been carrying out.
