This was especially the case after “Black Friday.” However, it con- tinues, the actual situation of the British movement differs from the situation after “Black Friday.” “The Hickses. and Citrines will not succeed in lessening the significance of the fact that compact majority of railwaymen’s delegation voted against the rupture of relations, though headed by such tested reactionaries as Thomas Cramp. Neither will they be able to lessen the significance of the fact that the miners’ delegation led by Herbert Smith, who is actually representing in the Miners’ Federa- tion the policy of Frank Hodges, dared not vote for a break with the Soviet trade unions, lest such a vote should provoke indignation among the miners. Cannot Ignore Minority. “Neither, lastly, can the General Council minimize or lessen the im- portance of the fact that representa- tives of the minority at the Edin- burgh Congress possessed mandates at the Conference of Minority Move- ment at which 700 delegates repre- @enting about 1,000,000 workers par- ticipated, and which demanded a res- olute struggle against the reactionary policy of the General Council and a fraternal alliance of the workers of Great Britain with those of the U. 8.8. BR.” The appeal declares that the Anglo-Russian Committee was cre- ated by the: will of the workers of Great Britain and the U. S. S: R., and broken up by the counter-revolution- ary British trade union bureaucracy |‘ who, quite rightly, considered the committee an instrument for the unity of the proletarian masses in their struggle against capitalism. The same trade union bureaucracy, it continues, who betrayed the gen- eral strike and thus assured a vic- tory to the tory government and the mine owners is now guilty of the rup- ture with the Soviet labor unions. The appeal shows how the world proletariat profoundly sympathized with the Anglo-Russian Committee which it considered an instrument for the creation of a united proletarian front against the capitalists’ on- slaught, against the danger of war, and for international trade union unity. Role of Bureaucracy. The appeal further exposes the counter-revolutionary role of the British trade union bureaucracy at the actual moment when the imper- ialists are preparing for war against the U. S. S. R. and Great Britain is intervening in China to crush the Chinese revélution. The British trade union bureau- cracy, it declares, will be unable to make the proletariat swerve from the path of the class struggle. The con- sistent treachery of the trade union leaders are cited, and especially the general strike and the miners’ strike —a strike which could have been vic- ‘ “See Russia for Yourself” “An Education to the Visitor” Hopes for Rescue MRS.

It was again the sabotage of the British trade union leaders which pre- vented effective action for the de- fense of the Chinese revolution. The appeal further says: “After the betrayal of the 12th of May some comrades amongst our- selves believed we must assume the initiative in the rupture with the Anglo-Russian Committee. We did not choose this path, preferring to remain in the Committee and submit- ting therein our propositions expos- ing the systematic sabotage and be- trayal of the repr General Council. Tactics Justified. “Our tacties have been fully justi- fied. The indignation and hatred of British capitalists and their lackeys, | Thomas, Purcell, Hicks and Citrine must be entirely attributed to the| fact that thruout the existence of the committee our delegation strove to} defend the interests of the working class of England and the whole world — whereby it won the profound sym- pathies of the British workers.” The appeal further shows up the policy of the British trade-union lead-} ers and cites evidences of the weak- ness of the reactionary trade-union bureaucracy just as the fascist pol- | iey of the Baldwins and Joynson- | Hickses is a mark of the weakness and disintegration of British imper ialism which is able to maintain pow- | er only by relentless exploitation of | the British proletariat and by the bloody oppression of the colonial and semi-colonial peoples. Greet British Workers. Addressing fraternal greetings to the British workers, the appeal con- | cludes: “We are deeply convinced that the British working class will expel from its midst the traitors like Thomas | and Hicks, who advocate its surrender, its capitulation, and will employ all its might to carry on the struggle | against the capitalist class. We are deeply convinced that the workers of England and the U. S. S. R. will re- ply to the rupture of the Anglo-Rus sian Committee by the traitors of the working class by intensifying and consolidating their fraternal alliance. “We are deeply Hickes, Thomases, Chamberlains and Baldwins will never suceged in break- | ing this fraternal alliance between | England and the Soviet Union. “Long live the fraternal alliance | between the working eee of Eng- land and of the USSR!

Gary Died Too Soon. It is generally acknowledged in financial and industrial circles that Chairman Elbert H. Gary of the steel trust died a bit too soon for the con- venience of the Morgan oligarchy. It had been. fervently hoped that the senile chief would hang on until Cool- idge could step up on March 4, 1929, from the presidency of the United States to the chairmanship of the U. eel Corp. It may now become ry to hurry the happy event, E s such an operation will favor the fortunes of the Morgan in- terest in the Washington succession. The race for the republican nomina- tion which closes next June is a free- for-all with Hoover, Hughes, Dawes and Lowden as the principal con-! tende Hoover is thought to be the Morgan first choice, with Lowden re-| garded as nothing more than a start- ey who is not expected to finish! strong. Hughes is considered as a last resort particularly since his! Standard Oil connection, his ad- vanced age and his defeat in 1916 are against him. Dawes is therefore the ultimate choice of the financial inter- ests, who have no great hopes of put- ting their first choice on the ballot. Wants To Help Dawes.
