OFLAHERTY. — — HARLES GATES DAWES, vice- president of the United States and by grace of that Office presiding officer, of the senate, is in for an ex- citing career in that capacity unless’ all signs flicker out. As was to be expected from one who holds the trammels of bourgeois red tape in ill -concealed contempt he threw the dignified senators | into consternation with a speech such as the * might deliver e Men of the Constitution. He denounced the senate rules that ‘enable a few senators to filibuster and hold up important business. He spoke in such a vigorous manner that the sen- ators decided right off the reel that they would have to put Dawes in his Nace quickly. AWES is the white haired boy of the capitalists. He knows what they want. They want as little gov- ernment interference as possible. They want as much efficiency in the conduct of the political institutions as they insist on their industrial and financial institutions. Yet, they can- not insist too strongly on what they would like—an open dictatorship in- stead of the veiled one which now operates. There are too many ob- stacles in the way. It is significant that while senators frowned, expressed their displeasure’ or laughed, five of the biggest men in the industrial and financial life of the United States visited Dawes and complimented him ym his speech. 8 „ HE senate rules will change, tho it may take a little time. Big business is now in the saddle and it will make its iron hand felt. Dawes it its man. Coolidge is a useful little mannikin, who will pose as the official saint. Dawes will do the dirty work. The old-fashioned senators don’t like this situation worth a cent any more than Giolitti and Nitti, liked the rise of Mussolini in Italy.

The members of this society come from one of the countries most se- verely hit by the famine. Donation From Unemployed. An unemployed worker from Penn- sylvania sent in a donation tho he needs every nickel he can lay hands on: But this is the spirit that the American working class has always displayed when the call for aid from their brothers and sisters in other countries was sounded. Several mass meetings are being ar- ranged in many parts of the country. The San Francisco branch of the In- ternational Workers’ Aid got on th job immediately and arranged an fair for March 29.

The statement is as follows: ‘TO ALL LABOR UNIONS AND WORKING CLASS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. Dear Sirs and Brothers:— — The Hlinois state legislature has now before it the anti-injunction bill which passed the committee by a vote of 17 to 13 and now goes to the whole house for final action. Although passed by the committee, itis freely predicted by supporters of the manufacturing interests in Illinois that the bill will be defeated, as it has been in the past. This is true, unless the forces of militant labor compel the passage of the anti-injunction bill. What Injunction Means Working men, organized and un- organized understand what the in- junction means when against the workers on strike, on the picket line, etc. We, laboring men, know that the injunction has only been a weapon of the boss to be used against the work- ers. When workers have been on strike and the boss has failed to make them come to terms, then the boss brings out this reserves—the capital- igt courts, with their injunction either preventing the strike, attempting to limit the scope of the strike on the matter of picketing, and so on. Or, if the occasion demands, as the min- ers,. building trades workers, stock- yard laborers and others only too well know, the boss calls for further re- 6 sources from his capitalist govern- ment and then out come the militia, soldiers, thugs and gunmen. The anti-injunction bill pr@sumably Yecognizes the right of the union to use to the fullest extent the powers of the organization against the manu- e and capitalist interests.

C., March 5.— The most important international business left to Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, by retiring Secre- tary of State Charles Evans Hughes, was said by state department em- ployes to be opening up of relations with Soviet Russia. It is rumored that as soon as he can do it gracefully, President Cool- idge will send a “commission of in- quiry” to Soviet Russia to determine the basis for recognition of Russia by the United States and the negotia- tion of a trade treaty. Hughes has left for a trip to Ber- muda, where he hopes to forgét his mistake in refusing to deal civilly with the Soviet government.

So the general committee’ was called and after a conference it held a meeting at the Labor Temple and wrote a letter to the mill officials. This letter stated that the strikers would return to work if the company would revoke the order of the 10 per cent cut in wages, without other con- ditions, after Which a joint conference could be held. The company refused to revoke the cut, asking the strikers {o return to work “under protest” and promising a conference on the cut after work was resumed. The committe refused to surrender. j This report was made in English, [talian and Polish and after many strikers had spoken against the pro- sosal of the company, a vote was taken ym the report, It was 100 per cent to continue the strike so long as the 10 per cent cut was not revoked.

2 GREATEST EVER ; New York V Workers to See Mass Action NEW YORK, March 5.—For the first time in the history of the revolu- tionary movement, a fitting memorial Das been arranged for the Paris Com- mune. Madison Square, which housed both Lenin Memorial meetings, and which gave the capitalists something to shiver over, will be the scene of the big Paris Commune celebration, on March 15. The Paris Commune was essentially a product of the youthful revolution. ists of Paris. Liebknecht has ver) well declared that “he who has the youth has the army.” And in revolu- tionary Paris, the youth was with the revolution. The youth, organized in the national guard supplied the dele- gates to the Paris Commune. The youth supplied the army in the fight, against the monarchists from Ver- sailes. The youth were the motivating force in the Paris Commune. The special feature of the celebra- tion will be the Paris Commune Page ant, a spectacle in which 15,000 com rades will participate. Additional features will be the big workers’ chor. uses and orchestras, involving hun dreds of comrades. The Workers Party and Young Workers’ League, which have arrang- ed this affair for the building up of the Communist press, call upon all workers to celebrate the Paris Com- mune in a practical manner by build- ing up a workers press that will carry on the work of the Communards. The Young Workers especially should come to the celebration on March 15. A good deal of the pro- ceeds will be devoted to the Young Worker, the organ of the militant young workers, and the revolutionary youth must remember the traditions of the youth of the Paris Commune and be the foremost in the celebra- tion. Steel Trust Slaves Fail to Buy All Stock Offered Them NEW YORK, March 5.—The em- ployes of the United States Steel cor- poration failed to subscribe for the full amount of stock offered them, it Was announced at the steel corpora- tion’s office here. The employes are offered 100,000 shares of common stock each year, but this year bought only 82,948 shares. 39,470 employes bought the stock. This is the first time in several years that the employes have refused to buy the company’s stock. Machinery * Relief of Irish Famine Sufferers (Continued from page 1) cates that the famine situation is growing in seriousness and that the Free State government is suppressing the news. The west of Ireland was always the chief stronghold of oppo- sition to British rule and is doday the backbone of the opposition to the Free State government. Those hardy peasants fought the landlords for gen- erations and are now bittely oppos- ed to the hangmen who are outdoing British tyranny in its palmiest days, just as the bandit governments of Fin- land, Latvia, Esthonia, and Poland have outdone the czar in crucifying the workers and peasants of those countries.

Workers Party Meets ‘ Abramovich Attack in Omaha, Nebraska OMAHA, Nebr., Ma March 5. — Local Omaha of the Workers Party is be- coming very active in its educational work among the Jewish workers of this city. ö Meyer Holtman, secretary of the Jewish section of the party, will speak at the Labor Lyceum, Thursday eve- ning, March 12. The newly organized club of Jewish working class women is sponsoring this meeting, which is a guarantee of its success. In an effort to counteract the effect of the work carried on by the Workers Party, the “right wing socialists” pro- pose to have the counter-revolutionary traitor, Abramovich, for a “lecture” in Omaha. If they carry’ out their present plans, they will have all the Jewish business men of the city pres- ent to show Abramovich how “differ- ent” they are in Omaha. While in Omaha, Holtman will tell the Jewish people here the truth about this Abramovich, bom at the mass meeting and also at a banquet which is being arranged in his honor.

Isolation of est Fallure. “The fundamental cause of our fail- ures in the past has been the lack of unity amongst us, an iusteaa of co- operation we have been acting, each, on our own initiative in matters of strikes, boycotts, and other acts in ‘urtherance of working class educa- tion and advancement to a better vo- cial condition in lite. “In the past our actions and efforts have failed completely’ or were only partly successful due to this policy of isolation, and so we meet today in an effort to come to some understanding with you and your membership on this fundamental policy of co-opera- tion which is the only hope for the working class in its battle with reac- tion and oppression. Death to Isolation—Onward to Class Unity! “We plan the death of our former policy of isolation in this conference, and in its place we plan action in our struggles against our oppressors, the capitalistic class. We are carrying out this program based on the class struggle of society. “We have many times received com- munications from you pertaintng to boycotts and strikes in the marine in- dustry. Many times: when you and the membership of your respective or- ganizations have been on strike or in conflict with the employers, we have been working and unconsciously he!p- ing the employers to defeat you and your fellow workers in wage wars against your employers, and vice ver- 8a. Face Capitalist International. “If at those particular times we had been working under some definite plan of co-operation and unity of ac- ton, we believe that the final results of these conflicts would have been in- evitable victory for the,workers tak- ing part in these strikes and demon- strations. ' | “The capitalistic ship owners are or- ganized on an international basis, and the United Fruit company, Atlantic Fruit company, Sinclair. Oil company, Standard Oil company, Ward Line, Munsen Line, Morgan Line, Lucken- bach Line and several others, oppress all of us.in their campaign for profits and industrial autocracy. — Workers Internationalism Imperative “It is up to us to combat them with their own weapon, internationalism. They have been able to oppress us in the past thru our lask of organ- ization on the international basis, and as soon as were are able to show an international aspect, they will be help- less to drive us as they have in the past, as our numbers will overwhelm the opposition that they may use against us. “We have many resolutions an sug- gestions to offer for your earnest consideration and approval, and hope that we may be able to look back at this date some time in the future and know that this was the beginning of an international understanding be- tween the marine transport workers for the advancement of the working felass as a whole. Strike Planned for Spring. Wa plan a strike in the spring of this year to rectify the abominable conditions prevailing, and hope that the delegates to this conference will consider this question and act favor- ably on it, so that we may have an international strike if conditions war- ram it, and opportunity affords a suc- cessful termination of it. “We again wish you success in your efforts and you can rest assured that we and the membership of M.

Similarly, of what use| was an arbitration award if it was not binding?” Clause D provided that on any railroad or public utility a “fair and reasonable offer of arbitration must first be made to and rejected by the parties against whom the demands are pending”. Wells thought this a necessary protection for the people of the state, since 85. per cent of the food stuffs came from outside of_the state. Clause E required a written request presented to the other party, and “a reasonable time given for their con- sideration”. A strike or lockout is rendered illegal where “there is no trade dispute involving issues of di- rect benefit to the acting parties” and G. “to prevent or terminate the em- ployment of any person because of membership or non-membership in any labor union”. Wells declared that all these provisions were already in the common law laid down by the supreme court of the state. Others appearing in favor of the bill were representatives of the Manufact- urers’ Associations of Hartford and Bridgeport. Labor In Opposition. All the labor representatives were | opposed to the bill. The main argu- ment by the trade union officlaldom was that there were already sufficient laws to handle anything unlawful; that relations between the employers and employes for the last few years had been quite harmonious. Secretary | Egan of the State Federation of La- bor, opened the discussion, and E. C. Hotchkiss of the machinists, conten- ded that the workers and not the courts should have the right to deter- mine when they should strike. Defiant Speech of a Communist. Speaking on behalf of the Workers (Communist) Party, District Organi- zer Simons condemned the tone of harmony between labor and capital shown by both sides. Even the bill was called by the labor baiters one on “unwarranted industrial warfare”. He complimented the bosses on their frankness (which drew an admission later from their representatives that a “strike was in a sense, war“), thus proving the existence of the class struggle.

The railway labor board was shown to be a tool of the railroad interests, with no power against the owners but ripping the workers’ or- ganizations full of holes.

C., March 5.—In- formation that the industrial output of Soviet Russia for 1924 was $788,- 760,000, or a gain of 25 per cent over the previdus year has made Coolidge administration politicians sit up and take notice. The Russian Review also reports that the state bank is increasing its ü — * to $50,000,000 and the bank for foreign trade is increasing its capi. | * tal resources to $15,000,000. Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee of the senate, is said to be contemplating a speaking trip to prepare the Ameri- can people for restoration of diplo- matic and commercial relations with Soviet Russia. He will go as far west as San Francisco it is reported. Bor- ah said he does not 3 bringing the issue of Soviet recogni tion before the senate in its brief special session beginning March 4, but expects Secretary of State Kellogg to act without waiting for instructions from congress. Turks Not Fooled ne Chamberlain’s Recent Attacks on Russia MOSCOW, March 5. — Angora re- ports that Turkish political circles have been carefully watching Mr. Chamberlain’s conversations at Paris and Rome. in view of rumors that these conversations have a bearing on the interests of Turkey. The Constantinople press femarkse that Mr. Chamberlain and those Bri- tish interests which he represents are worried over the consolidation of So- viet-Freneh and Franco-Turkish rela- tions. As for Chamberlain’s state- ments regarding bolshevist propagan- da in the East, the Turkish papers maintain that this is but an excuse for bringing farther pressure on the British colonies, The Egyptian affair, the refusal to roter th Mosul issue to the league ot the rejection of the Soviet-British treaty and the frank return to secret diplomacy—all this, they say, evidently shows tha’ England is entering upon the path of strengthening her-tmperialistic policy.) The Hakimiet, Milley, a leading An- gore organ, notes that while the Brit ish have been purposely pointing everywhere to the “Bolshevist dan- ger,” they have arranged against Bol- shevism all the apparatus of Burope an reaction. “It is, however, an open secret”—ironically remarks the paper | Pro that the anti-British feeling in the colonies has been called to life thru Pngland’s own faults.” The author concludes by saying that it is “naive and futile” to hope, as Mr. Chamber- lain does, that the British government will be able easily to solve this knotty problem.

C. The story of the organized move to segregate the Negro population of Washington, D. C., which we published yesterday, shows that most of those who breathe the poisonous atmosphere of the nation's capital have learned nothing from the race wars that have broken out from time to time under the shadow of the capitol’s dome. As usual, the real estate sharks, an element whose close connection with the underworld has never been given the publicity it deserves, are the moving spirits in a campaign that can result only in bloodshed. The Negroes are being forced north by the same historical factors that sent wave after wave of white workers westward to the now vanished frontier—pressure of population, persecu- tion and industrial development—economic and political pressure. The Negroes are here. They, unlike the European immigrants, did not make. the choice of location. They cannot be placed on reservations like the few hundred thousand Indians, neither can they be deported like foreign-born workers who put the in- terests of the working class ahead of loyalty to the oppressors and their state. It is useless, of course, to urge upon the middle- class groups who look upon the Negro as fit only for the most menial tasks, inferior to the noble Nordic prune-peddlers, the only way of solving the race problem, i. e. accepting the Negro as an equal and treating him as, such. Segregation is prima facie evidence of hostility to the Negro, as an in- dividual and as a race. It will intensify the fric- tion by creating in the whites an intolerable at- titude of superiority and in the Negroes a justi- fiable resentment which will and does find ex- pression in spite of lynching, burnings, denial of social, political and economic equality. Our social system is, of course, in the hands of parasites, but that is no reason why even in a stronghold of theirs like Washington, matters in which the lives and happiness of thousands are in- volved, should be left to the sinister control of “realtors” whose idea of the solution of the race problem is to patronize Negro prostitutes, “to change their luck” while always referring to the Negro masses as “those black bastards.” There is a great opportunity for the Communists in Washington to make the revolutionary position on the race question clear to both black and white workers. The medical profession should take a great in- terest in Mussolini’s influenza. It is the only case on record caused by overindulgence in murder. Making a Mussolini General Dawes did his stuff yesterday in the best vaudeville headliner style and that is the kind of thing that goes big with the boys who read the headlines and the sport pages—the great American electorate. We hope that none of our readers will think that we are partial to General Dawes because we live in his home town, but we say again he is the white- haired boy picked by Wall Street for the 1928 race and that he is right now the real boss of the White House. The “quiet dignity” picture of Coolidge created — 1 err 1 a Sm a. Jag « N : 2 ˙ TTT — — “The Leader” Elan Pity the Milwaukee Leader?” For years it has been neglecting the class strug- gle for “Hoanesty in government” and now the chambermaids of the German socialist party who minister to the wants of capitalism—Genman and allied—have gone and spilled the contents of their receptacles all over the landscape. The resulting odor is too much even for socialists who could smell the blood of Liebknecht and Luxemburg and hundreds of Communist workers without a qualm. The Milwaukee Leader is good—in its way. It has been hypocritical so long that it has long ago lost any sense of decency and it therefore sees nothing incongruous in saying: The socialist party the world over seeks to breed a social conscience in place of the present indi- vidual selfishness. It needs leaders that deny self, that devote their lives to the noble ideal of human brotherhood, that expect no reward for this work save that of the artist expressing the best, and that cannot be BRIBED, bullied or misled. The emphasis is ours. ; The Leader explains that all the corruption in the German socialist party is due to the fact that the socialist party of Holland once let a banker carry a message for it to Ebert. This banker thus came in contact with the German socialists and seduced them. This tale may go well in the lounging rooms s of | Milwaukee’ ’s “socialist” policemen, but it will hard- ly be credited by the workers. The responsible so- cialist ministers of Germany sold everything they could lay their hands on to the big capitalists and pocketed the proceeds. Minor officials of the Soviet government who did similar things on a smaller scale were shot and this has been one of the chief indictments of the social-democracy against the Russian workers’ and peasants’ government. Well, we know now why they were so excited over this effective method of dealing with social traitors. The Communist press is interested in the corrup- tion of the social democracy’s leaders only insofar as it can be used to show the working class what a rotten gang they are. The taking of bribes by the socialist ministers in a capitalist government is after all a small matter compared with the out- right purchase of the leadership and machinery of the whole Second International by international capitalism. It is this kind of bribe taking that we are in- terested in and this is the charge we have made and proved against these red cross workers of the terror bands of capitalism. From MacDonald and his biscuit-capitalist angel to Bauer and his banker, Barmat, the whole noisome crew of the Second International is engaged in selling the workers who still follow them into the slave pens of world capitalism. The Milwaukee Leader recommends the calling of a “purity congress” of the Second International. It is a waste of effort. The only way to purge the Second International is to blot it out in the fire of social revolution—and this will be done. a The Chicago Tribune’s jazzy economist Scruta,, tor sees in Russia a future heaven for capitalist ex” ploitation after the Soviet government is driven to complete and abject surrender. The wish is surely father to the thought. This accounts for the refusal of the United States to recognize the Soviet government to date. The above dream would undoubtedly come true if the capitalists and their yellow socialist allies succeeded in overthrowing the proletarian dictatorship. Indiana Operators Come In The latest news of the open shop drive against the United Mine Workers of America is that the Indiana operators will take part in the conference to be held March 17: The Illinois operators look sympathetically at the purposes of the gathering, but so far have not announced their intention of participating. With Kansas, western Pennsylvania and Ohio lined up, with Indiana’s coal barons taking an active in- terést and preparations being made which are of a nature the capitalist press has evidently been ordered not to reveal, it is apparent that the coal operators mean business. The slack season in coal mining is near and by clever publicity men went well in the last cam there has been terrible unemployment for more paign, but to the red blooded American there w as than a year in most of the unionized fields.

| (Special to The Daily Worker) OCKHOLM—(By Mail)—The re- formist labor movement shows the same sign of decadence as capi- talist society, with which it has been closely bound up for the years. It is no longer, as war, a state within the state, but it forms in all countries an integral part of the state, which it formerly wished to destroy, and it is for this reason that it must undergo the same process of decay as that which is undermining the capitalist state.

New York Soloist's sia First Performance Here Wins Favor py ALFRED V. FRANKENSTEIN. Mr. Stock's twentieth regular pro- IIsram, given at Orchestra Hall last Friday and Saturday, brot us two solo- ists, both of them well known and well liked in New York, but who had their first Chicago hearings on this oc- casion, The one was the conductor, Hermann Hans Wetzler and the other was the pianist, Alexander Brailovski. Wetzler directed the first Chicago performance of an orchestra suite of his in five movements calles “Vis- ions.“ Carrying out the ideas of. Richard Strauss and Alyexander® Odre7 4 to express philosophic and mystical ideas in tone. But he has more sin cerity than Strauss, if not all of his brains, and he is more on the earth than the Russian super-mystic. “Vis- ions” opens with an introduction in which is set forth a “Theme of the Struggling Spirit.” This leads into a slow movement intended to express the idea of prayer in the form of a |} sonnet written by no less a man than [Michel Angelo. ; The third movement is a “Scherzo Demonaico” describing Sharon, the boatman of the Styx. This is follow- ed by à most curious termezzo Ironico,“ in which life is distorted and caricatured. ‘Wetzler tries to bur- ||lesque the modernists and falls for the simple reason that those whom | he attempts to burlesque are them- selves writing with a laugh m the sleeve. But for the moment Wetzler is Honagger, writing music descrip- tive of locomotives that turn_out to be nothing but toys of tin and paint, for the moment de is Poulenc and young Georges Auric playing with the baby rattles of jazz, for the nounce he is Irving Berlin. But the whole winds up with a “Fugato Risoluto“ and a “Risonanza Estrema,” a great pain laden slow motion section m which the “Theme of the Struggling Spirit” attains heroic size. Alexander Brailowski came and played and conquered. He is a key- board genius of limitless power. His interpretations are not the ordinary ones, but he never goes to the ex- tremity of distortion to which some pianists are driven in an effort to find original readings. He played thé Saint-Saens fourth concerto and got out of it one of the biggest ovations any soloist has got this season, and every handclap of it was deserved.

To my surprise, even the most frivo- lous members of that class listened to this reading with intense interest, so The book was “The Romance of New Russia” by Magdeleine Marx, published by Thomas Itzer, New York City. It was the story of one ‘typical girl of Russia—one of hun dreds of thousands [ike her in that - country—and of a school of boys and girls—that I was reading: parts of two chaptertz in this book. This typical girl of New Russia, “Lena,” at 20 is one of “an endless stream of youth pouring into Moscow, eager for study, without the remotest chance of find- ing quarters, but confident of run- ning across some stranger—this could happen only in Russia—who would be only too glad to share his crust a the cold attic where one stum- led over sleepers when one came home at night.” : AS Lena a Communist Child of a mechanical age, the daughter of revolutionaries, twin sis- ter to the proletarian, enrolled from birth im a mad army, in a chaotic world, Communism was not a mere doctrine to her, a parcel of ideas. It was unscathed spirit of her twenty years, hep’ unerring instinct for nobil- ity and justice, something that eman- ated from all her studies; it was noth. ing less than the world itself, spread out before her like a huge arena; it was the pitiless urge of her blood.” Mme. Marx had seen the older Com- munist women of Russia: Kollontal, Krupskaya, Lebedeva, Gasparova and others—the mothers, the servants, the priestesses of the revolution—its: saints and martyrs. And she well says that “every sacrificial and un- selfish instinct that is implanted in human nature caused these older women to become revolutionists.” UT “when you are with Lena, you have a sense of well-being, an assurance that all the flood-gates of joy are wide open. The older women have sacrificed everything to the re- volution; Lena has RECEIVED every- thing from it.”- * The striking contrast between the get satisfaction out of owning dresses, that of the whole fabric of bourgeois social life anywhere is well put in these two paragraphs: * In the daughters of the bourgeois world, in whom intellectual activity nothing but the analytical spirit, in- telligence is poison, knowledge is a bolster up a sterile pride in never being taken in. ‘What’s the use?’ they cry. Logically, there is nothing for them but to commit suicide. Lena is all for life. What has she to do with bitter skepticism, with despair, with the view that humanity is groping at night in an impasse? With her every- thing is resolved into action. Nothing comes to the surface upon which she does not act.“ Lena—indeed, an uncounted num. ber of the youth of new Russia—is living and acting within the most stimulating, invigorating, vital at- mosphere a human being can know— in a world of which the whole fabric of church and state thus far not even dreamed. “She does not know, nor so much as suspect, that one can furniture, a house, precious objects; or experience pleasure in adorning oneself with jewels; or use one's strength for one’s personal career, or accept an idea for what it can bring one.” In a word, Lena is having her have been content to dream about or merely to mouth, but which the new Russia is proceeding to translate into every day reality. Little wonder that Anna Louise Strong felt an irresist- ible urge te return to Russia in spite of illness and privation, that evey the exotic Claire Sheridan, in spite of herself, had the feeling that such an atmosphere as this of Russia is supremely the one in which children should be educated, that Mme. Marx herself felt that the lot of her own child in France is pitiful compared with that of hundreds of thousands of even orphan children in new Russia. school Mme.

Se ARTICLE If, HE next witness, the retired rep- resentative and minister of the reich, Dr. David, was then heard with | reference to the assertions made by the witness Kloth on a change of pol-| icy on the part of the social demo- crats during the war. . The witness declared that such an assertion was not in the least in ac- cordance with the truth. The social democratic reichstag fraction, even after the outbreak of the Russian revolution, still contin- ued the policy of national defense and granting of war credits. At that time Mr. Ebert, openly defended this pol- icy, stating as justification that we had to ge granting credits because the will other “side, f Herr Ebert ‘invariably opposed the no pessimists, and stated clearly and un- equivecably that there could be no question of peace at any price. never abandoned hope that tne situ tion, even the military situation, would improve. | Turkey collapsed, and when our mili- tary headquarters failed us, the ma- jority of the fraction were in favor of either granting no more credits or of entering the government. Despite all this, Herr Ebert did his utmost towards inducing the party to sacri- fice even this-to the country. This suffices to show the assertion that we nad changed our policy, to be false. —(Vorwarts, December 156.) Social Democracy is not Revolutionary.
