From the Blue Network Radio News: "Bill Haywood, chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Workers' Councils, today announced his new Council of People's Commisars. Chairman of the Council is Comrade Eugene Debs. Debs and other left socialists were reconciled with the IWW after the Seattle general strike of 1919 on the platform of 'all power to the workers' councils.' To think that only a year ago Woodrow Wilson was in the White House and Eugene Debs in prison, rather than the other way around! "The Council also includes the first woman 'cabinet' member in this country's history, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. There are reportedly quarrels between ex-IWWs and ex-Socialists about the distribution of seats in the Council. William Z. Foster has been rumored likely to get a position, though he will have to explain away his past support for the AFL and the imperialist world war. "Apart from announcing immediate independence for Puerto Rico and the Philippines, Comrade Haywood has announced that the capital of the former U.S. (now the United Workers' Republic of America) will be moved from Washington, D.C. to IWW headquarters in Chicago. This will assist in the 'withering away of the state' into self-government by industrial unionism, and will give breathing space against an expected cross-Atlantic invasion by the capitalist powers of Europe, aligned with American capitalists. Comrade Haywood, in announcing the formation of the American Red Army, admitted that the very words 'government' 'army' and 'police' make him uneasy, but says that the workers do temporarily need an instrument of repression against the bourgeoisie. Asked whether the American workers could withstand the combined assault of the European capitalist powers (including Tzarist Russia, which is raising new claims on Alaska) and their allies at home (who have set up a separatist government in New England with British and Canadian support), Comrade Haywood said that he hoped an early European revolution would solve that problem. "A reporter asked Comrade Haywood what would happen if a local workers' council would elect 'reformists.' Comrade Haywood said that he would try to 'dissuade' any such council, but added that free council elections could not be used as a 'cloak' for 'counterrevolution and sabotage.' He rejected rather testily a reporter's suggestion that the experience of power was eroding his former 'anti-authoritarian' views." |

"This is George Stephanopoulos reporting. Separatists in Quebec today surrendered to the First Army of the Midwest, commanded by Gen. Colin Powell. The rebel leader who has been known only as 'Napoleon IV' has been captured and identified as restauranteur Jean Chretien. As he was led away in shackles, Chretien expressed his regret at the Saginaw Massacre of last June; according to him, 'independence, however just, is not worth the lives of the innocent.' Indeed, Chretien most likely was not responsible for the murders, which were probably orchestrated by a splinter group of the Quebecois Liberation Front; however, he is expected to be tried and executed, as a warning to future supporters of secession. "This surrender is especially painful to citizens of Quebec given today's date: this is the 186th anniversary of Gen. Sir Isaac Brock's surrender to Andrew Jackson at Queenston Heights, Ontario, the British defeat that paved the way for the American conquest of Canada. CNN correspondent Hillary Rodham spoke to Canadian protesters outside the Presidential Mansion in Philadelphia; they vowed never to cease their efforts to cleanse the 'Yankee scourge' from their home soil. However, given Pres. Alexander Haig's insistence that 'our northern cousin is a great part of the prosperity of the American empire,' and his call for 75,000 volunteers to root out nests of allegedly U.K.-backed Protestant guerrillas around Yellowknife, the independence supporters' hopes are most likely in vain. British Prime Minister Ian Paisley denied that his government has played any role in the insurrections. We now return you to 'Norman Schwarzkopf Live!', already in progress." |
