THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1927 By RICHARD SCHULLER. i (Continued.) | But the greatest’ expansion and leepening of the work of the Young Communist Leagues has taken place in the struggle against militarism. (Chat which existed only’in its first beginnings before the war, and was the work of only a smal! group of ‘evolutionists, has now devcloped into kystematically organized reaching all the great imperialist wmies of the world, and disintegra- ing them. We need only point to the orilliant work accomplished by the Jerman and French Young Commu- iist Leagues among the French roops in the Ruhr valley and in oc- supied Germany in 19 the work of the French League in the French army during the war in Morocco, the oropaganda carried on by the Y.C. I. among the imperialist troops i China, the agitation mada by Young Communist Leagues Baltic states on the occasion of the visit of the British fleet, the work done by the British League during the trike and during the shipment of British troops to China, and to the really magnificent efforts of the French League in general. Year for year the Young Commu- nist Leagues toil unwearingly among the recruits, the soldiers, and the re- servists of the imperialist armies, RABBI SILVER FOR RECOGNITION OF SOVIET RUSSIA CLEVELAND, Sept. 22. — Rabbi vantages in commercial and diplo- | A. H. Silver, the well known liberal | matic relations, and he admits, though | rabbi of this city, who has just re- turned from a trip through Europe and to Palestine, declared that of- ficial trade relations should immed: ately be established with Soviet Rus- sia, to be followed by full diplomatic recognition by the United States gov- ernment. The rabbi has his scruples as to activity,’ the} of the! »permeate them with the proletarian spirit, with hatred against the capi- talist system, against militarism, and against imperialist war. Communist nuclei are forméd in the regiments, in the barracks, and on the warships, and spread the spirit of -revolution. | The whole organism of the imperialist army is penetrated with the spirit of Bolshevism. In some countries we are only just beginning, in others we have already made great progress. It is not for nothing that the French | government and the bourgeoisie are raising alarmed outcries against the | activities of the Communists in the | army and fleet. This permanent and unwearying work in the armies and fleets of the imperialist states is a real and ef- fectual method of struggle against }imperialist war, earnest work for the defence of the Soviet Union against the attacks of the imperialist powers. And the Young Communist Interna- tional, in celebrating today its Inter- ;national Youth Day and the 20th an- niversary of its foundation, does not intend to content itself with demon-} strations. This Day is to be the point of departure for an intensifica- tion of our practical work against | militarism and against’ imperialist |war. This is real international soli- | darity, and real support for the So- | |viet Union, in the spirit of Lenin and ' Liebknecht. |grudgingly, that conditions are vast- ly superior to the time of the czars. Silver wishes the stamp of the de- partment. of state tobe placed upon what is being done by the Standard Oil Co., and other concerns. Better late than never.

The gov- ernment is stable and a change might bring another debacle,” he said. It is obvious that the rabbi saw soviet Russia through his liberal American spectacles. He cannot un- derstand what has taken and is tak- ing place in Soviet Russia, and judges by American standards. One ‘thing, however, must be emphasized. Unlike Wm. Green, Silver has visited Soviet Russia, and has returned with the same impressions that every one obtains: he realizes the stability of ‘the: government, he sees fruitful ad- .

Thus the | state is’ fully justified in devising protective legislation and social in- surance for the badly exploited workers of North Carolina. Similarly, the principles of democracy and equality. of opportunity become mean- ingless’ on the industrial field, Dr. Sikes ‘argues. WANTED — MORE READERS! ARE YOU GETTING THEM?
