Page Three Terrorism Sweeps Over Egypt as Fuad Government Is Afraid of Strength of Protest CALL OUTBREAKS LIKELY; POLICE PATROL HARBOR ek to Crush ush Youth by| Drastic Measures CAIRO, Egypt, July 24.—All the forces of the present Egyptian ad- ministration were being brought in- to play yesterday against the grow- ing power of a nationwide protest movement resulting from King) Fuad’s dissolution of parliament for three years. Police Massed. The return of Mme. Gaghlul from | Europe was made the occasion for) a show of strength by the adminis-| tration who massed police and troops along the quays and streets of Alexandria in an effort to over- awe the crowds who filled the city} widow of the former} to see the leader. Following the Wafdist manifesto denouncing Fuad’s action, the speech of Nahas Pasha threatening civil war has rung thru Egypt. The pos-| sibilities of an outbreak are openly conjectured. Alarmed by the impending strug- gle, the administration has acted to crush the three-day strike of law- yers in Alexandria by an order from the “ministry of justice forbidding any court adjournments. The strike was in protest against Fuad’s action Terrorize Youth. Participation of the youth in polit- | ical agitation, which has repeatedly! proved embarrassing to the govern- ment, has been met by proposal of the ministry of education that all youths indulging in political activ- ities be suspended from their educa-| tional institutions and excluded from | examinations for one year. Leaders are to be expelled from schools and| colleges for an indefinite period. | Foreseeing that the majority of) students will in this way be banished from the schools, the administration has made plans for reducing the) teaching staffs in the same ratio. | Thruout the country the feeling that the action of Fuad in dissolving parliament was effected at the bid- ding of the British government is growing. Determination to be free of foreign interference in Egyptian affairs is freely voiced in spite of the system of secret agents which the government is developing in the Nile towns and villages. Threats of revolt are constantly heard. * * Chamberlain Knows Nothing. LONDON, July 24.—Denying that | the British government has taken any part in the suspension of the| Egyptian parliament by King Fuad Sir Austen Chamberlain, secretary of state for foreign affairs, yesterday | told the house of commons that his} majesty’s government has not re-| ceived any advices concerning the present situation said to exist in Egypt. ROSARIO PICKETS AT POWER PLANT Academe as Demands Refused ROSARIO, Argentina, July 24— New developments in the Rosario strike indicate that a general strike | is maturing. Strikers picketed the power station here today, threaten- ing to shut off the poweryand were only disbanded when the police force was called out. The strike which started with the strike of the dock workers and suc- ceeded in closing the two main ports of Argentina, was soon followed by a strike of transporation workers and teamsters. The strikers’ ranks are holding steadily. The cooperative spirit of the strikers is indicated by the ac-| tion of the workers in attempting | to shut off the power to prevent the | few scab-manned trolleys from run-| ning. The directors of the trolley com- panies cabled from Brummels re- fusing to grant the demands of the workers.

CENTRAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF WORKERS PARTY HAILS “KRASSIN” (Continued from Page One) and gave directions for their rescue. Where everybody failed, the Amuridsen party, the Swedish and Norwegian fliers, the Italian Alpinists—the Krassin succeeded. Calmly, but irresistibly, with that doggedness that characterizes the activities of the proletariat, with that perfectly comradely dis- cipline which makes everybody feel the responsibility for the whole and each work in harmony with the others, the Soviet ice-breaker has rescued all whom science, combined with brave effort, could discover in the bleak Northern wilderness. It rescued not only the Italians, but also many rescuers from other countries (whose governments had rejected the Soviet proposal concerning a joint rescue expedition.) Vitality and Decay Contrasted. The Italia and Krassin expeditions, while directly having to do with the geographical explorations and humanitarian activities, have tremendous political implications. Fascism stands demasked through the very undertaking that was to add to its glory. Proletarian dictatorship is revealed in all its strength and moral power through circumstances which, to the Soviet Union, were purely accidental. Fascism proved its mepaiisatteal weakness. Communism proved its organizational strength. Fascism, so beloved by the bourgeoisie for its show of discipline, is exposed as breeding meanness, cowardice and treachery. Communism, decried by the capitalist class as ruth- less and inhuman, is revealed as a great force elevating the workers to a high level of generous self-denial and self-sacrifice. Fascism, in capitalist eyes, the symbol of efficiency, has been shown as criminally negligent and barbarously ill-prepared for emergencies. Communism, which the bourgeois theoreticians of the world in unison with all the “practical” business men assert, without the initiative of private property, is doomed to failure—Communism whose collapse has been heralded innumerable times in the capitalist and social- democratic press of the world, has through the Krassin activities impressed itself even upon the bourgeoisie, in a language the bourgeoisie can understand, as an economic and social entity of gigantic might. Here, a class that has just ascended to power, full of indomitable energy and creative endeavor. There, a class that has outlived its usefulness and leads a parasitic life of decay. Here, a picture of what the world will be when the proletariat will have established its rule everywhere. There, a picture of what the workers must over- throw and destroy, of what they must rid the world, if humanity is to progress economically, politically, socially and culturally. Lessons of the Event. The Nobile and Krassin enterprises have a tremendous. political significance vastly exceeding those of the conferences of the League of Nations and other international talk-feasts about which the bourgeoisie makes so much ado. The Nobile disaster is a shameful defeat of imperialism. The Krassin successes are a great victory for the Soviet peace proposals. The Nobile indignities could grow only out of a soil sown with the seed of imperialist oppression, lust and greed. The real nobility of the Krassin comrades is the spirit of a social revolution that does away with oppression of nations, exploita- tion of man by man, private property and private accumulation. The workers of this country..must learn the lesson of those great events. They must remember that while the dictatorship of the capi- talists in this country differs from the Italian in form, it is practically of the same substance. The workers of America must remember that the “great” air conquests, the daring aerial expeditions of the capi- talists of the United Seates, while more efficient and more success- ful, due to the greater wealth and technique of this country, are nevertheless imperialist ventures of the same kind as Mussolini’s. And not for one moment must the workers forget that while sections of the bourgeoisie are so impressed with the Soviet rescue work that they sing the praise of theRussians.” Nevertheless, the great powers of the world, the poet United States, are planning and preparing war against the fet Union as the stronghold of pro- letarian power and the beacon light of world proletarian hope. Defend Soviet Union! In sending, therefore, our brotherly greetings to the proletariat of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics on the occasion of the Kras- sin activities, and in expressing our pride -in those activities, the workers must redouble their struggle against American imperialism, against American Fascism, against Italian Fascism, against Fascist rule in every other country and for the recognition of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Now, while a part of the bourgeoisie is paying lip service to the Soviet achievements, the time is particularly opportune for ad- vancing the slogans: Down with Fascism in Italy and everywhere! Release the political prisoners captured by Fascism! Long live the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics! + Long live Workers’ rule the world over! We demand the recognition of the Soviet Union!

Young Communist International. | The Young Communist Interna- | tional is one of the best sections of the Comintern, but outside of the Soviet Union it has made no nu- merical progress in the last few years. The important task before all sections therefore is to work to win the youth. Murphy, of Great Britain, de- clared that in describing the first post-war period, Bukharin statec that it had ended with defeats but had failed “to mention that in this same period the Communist Inter- national had developed and the Com- munist Parties had won ground everywhere. In describing the second period Bukharin had also failed to set off the development of the revolutionary movement in the colonies and the growth of the Communist Party of| China against the stabilization © of capitalism. Further, he said, it is impossible to generalize about the development | of technique which marked the third, period. The transformation of capi- talism from the second to the third period was not uniform, for example the British coal and steel industries are declining and rationalization means limiting production, not de- veloping productive forces. War Danger. The British delegation regrets that Bukharin’s theses fail to treat the League of National question suf- ficiently since it is today the cen- tral question in capitalist war pre- parations and for creating pacifist | illusions. The Kellogg peace | treaties which is part of the war | preparations is not sufficiently| stressed. Furthermore, the speaker pointed out, the theses do not mention the co-operative question and treat the |trade union question insufficiently altho this is an important question today, owing to the strong left wing movement which is fighting wa: | preparations against the | Union. The theses also fail to mention! |Ireland despite its important role in| |the fight against British imperial- | ism. The Communist Internationa’ | |must finally, treat the Irish ques- tion and the tasks of the Irish Com | munists. Approve Attack. The British delegation approves Bukharin’s attack on fractionalisr and demands that the Communist In- ternational finally liquidate frac- tionalism in the American Party. Moreover, the question of the leadership of the Communist In- ternational must be carefully ex- amined in order to form a strong leadership, uniform and capable of leading all sections. MacDonald, of Canada, declared | that Canada was playing an im. | portant part in Anglo-American an tagonism ‘and demanded that the Communist International treat the Canadian question because the Can. adian bourgeoisie would support war against the Soviet Union. The Communist Party of Canada would organize trade union delega tions to the Soviet Union and had founded the committees of friend: of the Soviet Union. Bunting, of South America, de- manded that the Communist Inter- national pay more attention to Soutk Africa. He asserted that recently |the connection between the Executiv: | | Committee of the Communist Inter | national and the South Africar Party had been very bad.
