DEPORTS PARTICIPANTS * IN CHINESE TONG WAR (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Forty of the 256 Chinese rounded up by the federal officials in raids in China- town are to be deported this week. The remaining 216 will be deported to China as soon as arrangements can be made with steamship oom- paniés to bring them to China. The deportation comes as a cli- max to the outbreak of a tong war in New York’s Chinatown. The On Leong Tong and the Hip Sing Tong have just declared a national truce following an outbreak of bitter Tong war. In the raids organized on Chinatown many that fell into the net of the federal officials were not able to produce evidence of legal entry into the United States. Most of them claimed to be sea- men and refused to tell the name of the ship they came on, thus forcing the American government to spend $200 apiece to send them back to HERRIN MINERS LOSE: LIVES IN MINE DISASTER Three Dead | After Gas Pocket Explodes HERRIN, Ill., Sept. 28.—Three coal miners lost their lives and three others were seriously burned when a gas pocket was accidentally touched off at mine No. 7 of the Consolidated Coal company.

(Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK CITY, Sept. 28—That in- although they themeelves have been compelled to go back to the job by superior forces, is shown in the union’s bulletin Issued Friday. it says in part: “The ‘outlaw’ strike of the British seamen is still in effect according to the latest information. The British seamen will win their strike. In fact they have already won it. It will be only a matter of a few days until the British ship owners will grant their demands. “In the meantime, the M. T. W. will do all in its power to pull fhe crews off British ships as they &r- rive and will continue in every way to ald our British fellow workers in their struggle for more of the bet ter things of life. “After a carfeul study of the strike situation, the members of the M. T. W. decided to transfer the strike back to the job. The seamen who went on strike can be proud of their action. We are going back to the ships in- tent upon intensifying our campaign for a far greater strike in the future. It was well understood when we left our jobs tha: ‘ve .neant to show the ship owners that they cannot get away with their predatory rule any longer. We still mean it. We will continue our fight while on the job and pre- to. { out again when the sun Owners Surprisea and Hurt. “The. shipowners certainly felt the effect ofthis strike coming as it did when the bosses had visions of great profits carrying cargo that ordinarily is carried. in-British and Australian ships. It was a complete surprise t¢ them and an invaluable aid to our fellow workers striking in England, Australia, South Africa, Denmark and China. These seamen will not forget our display of solidarity, nor will they fail to remember the traitorous action of certain ‘Imternational’ unions, whose officialg did all-in their power to break the strfke. “Let us go back to the jobs, then, to organize and prepare for a real battle with the shipping octopus to change the present state of affairs and win good conditions, better pay and better food. Let us take delegate’s credentials back to the jobs and or- ganize the marine industry. We count on all marine workers to co-operate with the ship’s delegates to better conditions, perfect organization and do away with the blacklist. Prepare for Next Strike, “It is of no use to stay in the fo’c’sle and grumble behind the boss’ back. Face him with concerted ac- tion and solidarity. * Stick together, and if some the so-called ‘agitators’ have to quit, let those who take their places take up the fight. Thus we will be able to make these ships fit for men to live and work on. No one but ourselves can do this. No one is going to fight our battles for us. Whatever we get will come only thru our own efforts. To the ships!

The department of commerce has the issuing of 90-day permits to radio broadcasting stations under its thumb. The department of commerce has been given the right to decide as to whether the permit will be renewed and in the case of the broadcasting station that has been leased by the Garland fund Hoover might attempt to censor the programs of the sta- tion. The congress has not as yet passed a law allowing Hoover the right to censure programs, this power will be taken on by him when he deems fit to do so.

Horn, their former secretary, elected to the presi- dency. Hori, it must be remembered, was the fellow who as secretary of the Ceptral Labor Council, connived @ with the’ police to raid the meetings of the T. U. B.'L., seize their records and get dozens of militant workers expelled from ‘their trade unions. : Judas got his Reward. . For this service to the bosses Horn was rewarded by the city administra- inted to the board of public works, and to show his grati- tude he “lined.up” labor’s votes to re- “patronize” labor enough. Refuses to Divvy Up. Richardson's administration is no- toriously antilabor, having killed “progressive” legislation than almost any previous one, but what Horn seems to be grieved about, is doesn’t get as many “favors” off in return for said patronage. So it is being noised about that “California labor” is going to fight Richardson * mext year. Of course, the Citizen doesn’t come eut openly and say s0; it doesn’t even mention Horn’s aspirations to the presidency of the federation, except in the casual words, “there appears to be a strong sentiment to bring the presidency back to the south, and Brother Horn is much mentioned for the honor.” One oan put two and two er, and consider thie as part ef Horn’s publicity campaign. | We might even suspect that this same John 8. Horn plans to run for the governorship of California, or per- haps some other hidebound conserv- ative of the same type, from the hints thrown out by. the Citizen. The chambers of commerce are shrewd enough to know that this is one of the ways most popular nowadhys to de- tract the workers from thinking of wide-spread unemployment, low wag- es and open shop conditions, and so a “labor” candidate might not have as much opposition as might be sup- posed by either the ku kluxers or the Better America Federation. Got to Have Something to Sell. To run as a candidate Horn would have to go on one of the reactionary party tickets, and would of course bid for the support of the capitalists by promising them “harmony” between capital and labor. This bid for the leadership of the labor federation is @ move to get enough prestige to make a “deal” with the bosses, which means another ant tage of the work- era. The Communists mast point out that the only way labor could be rep- resented in the political campaign next year is for organized labor to get behind a united labor ticker against all the reactionary candidates, and on a program dealing with the needs of the workerg.of California. Horn or any other, r”’ candidate would be merely be ng the work- ers whom he is “supposed to repre- sent if he fails to run oti the basis of the support of the movement to protect iteelf from ‘the attack of the open-shoppers yg (ate all-power- ful in California. . ‘at bry of lagueaWnsst Fight for Who are not al- lowed entrance into! inéét of the trade unions ,;and who forki the. basis for the open-shop reserve force of the employers. The fight against imperialism will center in the Pacifie; and consequent- ly in California, tm the’ near future, and the California -wWorkers should take heed of the militant stand re- cently taken by the. British Trade Union Congress against imperialism. Who Will Organize, California? Another important problem, espe- cially in southern © California, the “open shop paradise,” is the organiza- tion of the unorganized workers. There are only one hundred thousand workers organized in the trade unions of California, and most of these un- ions are deplorably weak and unable to do anything to better the condi- tions in the state, because they are in the hands of a reactionary trade union leadership not interested in the class struggle against the bosses, but] only in perpetuating their own soft jobs and fat salaries. Yet the state convention will take —_ vz j m {labor board to appear before that body Ghinist Local 119 of Newport fol- lowed the action taken by Local 147 of Providence ("B. & O.

Also, by unanimous vote Local 119 protested against the circular letter ordering the expulsion of members of the Workers (Com- munist) Party and the Trade Union Educational League. A letter from “B. & QO.

Why Not a Labor Party? Reports from the Citizen indicate that only one important issue of in- terest to the workers might come up, and that is the question of the labor party. Brother William Bact tirg man, delegate from the Office Bm ployes’ Union No. 15251, will present a resolution unanimously adopted by his local endorsing the organization of a labor party based on the same prin- ciples as the British labor party, ana calling upon the state convention to take steps for its organization locally and.nationally. This could be made the basis of labor's political campaign next year in the state, elections, with a militant working class program and candidates who must accept that pro- gram. “ . John Horn must show his true colors now. Will he accept the chal- lenge that the militant workers every- where raise with the slogan of a junited labor ticket and independent working clasg@ political action, or will he continue his role of treason by making “deals” with the business in- terests? A united labor ticket as the basis for organization of an indepen- dent labor party, must be labor's slogan. John Horn, where do you stand?

The switchmen had voted, 471 to 439 in favor of the switchmen’s union as against the trainmen’s organization, which had previously represented them, trying thus—and successfully—to set one group of workers more bitterly against each other than ever before.

The “builders and supporters” of the union hate to see the union progressing, they will rather see it Van Winkle wakes up in 100 years from now, he should find the small union smaller yet. They have de- veloped skill in this respect. They do not want to see that by this they are breaking up the union; the little respect and influence that the union had gained among the unorganized is lost thru the effort of these fighters. Fine Welcome. Any new member, when he comes up for initiation into the union, does not hear a single report of activity but prosecutfon—of good union men. At the June membership meeting, charges were brought out against Primoff by a brother who since then never showed up to the meetings. On July 20 charges were brought = up against Kitzes, Cooper, and Chernow. On September 21, they were expelled. So far it is not known as yet who comes next on the list. So month after month passes by in trying and expelling members and in the meantime the unorganized fre- main unorganized. Not only are the Broadway and Wall St. offices not or- ganized, even the labor offices and “labor” banks are not organized. Low Grade Activity.

The Norwegian Trade Union Con- gress, which concluded its sessions in Osio Sept. 1, resulted in several vic- tories for the Communists and an ab- solute defeat for the reformists, es- pecially on the question of the labor bureau in Geneva which is part of the league of nations. The proposal for representation in Geneva was voted down 147 to 76. The proposal that the various affill- ated unions should be allowed to send representatives was also voted down by an overwhelming majority. The congfess also endorsed the Anglo- Russian trade union unity committee and the seoretariat was instructed to appoint representatives to the com-¢ mittee if such would be provided for. Russian Unions Represented. The Russian trade unions were rep- resented by Comrade Belinsky, who was received by great ovations in.the congress and who participated both in the discussion on Geneva and trade union unity. 7 The Norwegian unions, in spite of the reformist leadership, have main- tained friendly relations with the Russian unions which have sent fra- ternal delegates to the various union congresses. Reformist Fraternal Delegate Insults Congress. The fraternal delegate from the Swedish unions, Johanson, told the congress that if it would not go to Geneva it would be impossible to have any unity of action with the Swedish unions, and thus demonstrated that the reformists are against trade union unity on the basis of the class strug- gle, but will rather work to become part of their respective capitalist gov- ernments. The struggle against the labor bureau of Geneva was led by the Communists in the congress. The Communist candidate for presi- dent, ‘Comrade Volan, who led the minority.in the congress received 64 votes as against the Tranmaelite Hal- vard Olsen, who was elected by 155 votes., ‘The Norwegian unions in this congress have taken steps to the left and. wilkino doubt be a great factor in the,efforts for trade union unity. In future congresses they will surely select a leadership which will break completely with reformism and thus they »will become instruments for the social revolution. does not possess the organizational spirit. A union that can waste its time and energy only to frame up and expel Communists is not werthy to be trusted with the task to organize any office, Only such members are respected in the union who cam put up a fight when the question of a_ tea-party comes up, but if a member will fight and try to push the officials to do some organizational work, he will be framed up, branded as a Communist and ex- pelled from the union. The members of the Bookkéepers’ Union will have to think about this and put all their effort to bring the union to the level of a geal labor union that will fight the capitalists for the interest of the workers, other- wise the union will disappear as a useless organization.

It is not a question which is being arti- ficially raised by the Communists. It is a question that has arisen out of the very nature of the revolutionary situation, now existing in Great Bri- tain, and which is now being openly asked and debated by the widest “yeiroles of English workers. In the Daily Herald, official organ the labor party and the Trade on General Council, there is now r 4 on a lively debate, under the standing headline: ¢ | “Should the Workers Arm?” ‘And who argues for arming the workers? Is it the Communists? But the Communists are not yet admitted fto the columns of the Daily Herald. Then who argues for arming? the issue of Sept. 7th, the advo- cate of arms is none other than John Wheatley, M. P. former minister in the MacDonald government, a cath- olic, a member of the middle class, publisher of books in Glasgow. The following quotations from. Wheatley will give a fair idea of the temper of the discussion on this burning issue: “Mr. Ernest Bevin, in his article in the Daily Herald of 24th of August, in- vited me to be more definite regarding | contition once eine a : tain industrial peace the workers must be ready to resist successfully the at- tack that is now being prepared. . We want ten million men who are prepared to suffer rather than see Britain made a land of coolies.’” “For ten days I have been beyond and reach of newspapers, and if it is not-too late I would like now to tell my friends frankly what is in my mind.” E all know that parliament is not the driving force in reform, but rather the driven machinery. The driving force is in the country, and all our nice speeches and parliament- ary ability, however useful in the pro motion of our careers, are only val- uable to the waiting workers in so far as we increase the driving force out- side. “Mr. Bevin recognize this when he supports the withholding of labor as one of the chief weapons of the work- ing class. But he is careful to caution the workers that, altho they may strike, they must strike Mike gentle- men. “We have reached the AS where the withholding of labor, in which Mr. Bevin believes, must be national to be successful. This being so, trade unionists must heave a new outlook.

In other words, the railway worker joins the railway union to defend and promote the in- terests of the working class. The same is true of the miners and dockers and others. NLESS we are willing to go back, the possibility of a national strike has to be faced. We are told it may lead to bloodshed. I sincerely hope it will not, but I frankly fear ft may. In such a gigantic conflict, and all that it implies, the capitalists of this country, in my opinion, would not hesitate to stave off defeat by the use of a few bullets. “If a fascisti organization that can be obtained by voluntary contribu- tions of a few thousand pounds a year is sufficient for this purpose, well and good. The workers, true to their pacz- fist teachers, may ‘turn the other cheek,’ and, having got a buliet in it, return to their work, confident that they have done all that respectability permits. But if in the ranks of the workers there should be a fair sprinkl- ing of heathens, who are not ‘other- cheekers,’ it may be necessary to em-~- ploy machine-guns against them. “This method of conversion hag of- ten succeetied with backward .races. — ~~ , bes man can coreyent what the future ee eo eee OO ~~ has in store for us, or what sacrifices the workers in:j@ crisis may have to make, We are,jonly asked to decide now whether we should advance or retreat. I want,to go forward.” OST of the, “discussion” in the public press consists of passion- ate exhortationse.by religious right- wingers (an@ many so-called” lefts also) against the idea of the workers arming to protect themselves. Why this flood of paielfist propaganda for the workers? ip Because among the rank and file the discussion is-all going the other way. Tne workers want’to be able to resist the British fascisti, which is becoming more thpeatening every, day. It is not preparéd to bow before the new secret army constabulary that is being recruited for next spring’s bat- tles. So the pacifist leaders are argu- ing with the workers against this movement. Thus we find Lansbury in his Labor Weekly putting the question: “We would ask our comrades whe- ther thcy seriously: intend to organize for a violent revelution? I[: is necés- sary that this question should be faced and answered ina straight-forward manner. We uni erystand and support the appeal to all service men Rot to take up arms or im any way attack or blackleg the wotkers during a time of dispute. We go fiirther and we urge British workers pot to take up arms Wid . 5 ers Arm against the workers of other lands. If the Minority Movement means no more than this, well and good, but ff, on the contrary, its aim is to establish a ‘Red Army’ in Britain, then much more than’ words and high-sounding phrases are needed. There must be organized drilling, purchases of arms, explosives, airplanes, etc.” ND in the same issue comes the answer in a letter from a rank and filer (reprinted in full in the DAILY WORKER of Sept. 19, tn art- icle “British Labor Breaks with Im- perialism”) who shows that the em- ploying class is wild with fear, look- ing upon even “moderate” labor lead- ers as “Reds,” and is seriously pre- paring to smash the British labor movement by force. This rank and filer is a “‘moderate,” but he says: “I would therefore plead earnestly with all who have the'labor cause at heart that they prepare to meet this danger while they have still time. Force must be met by force. Fasc?sm is purely and simply a military organ- ization, and is not amenable to argu- ment. It can only be successfully countered by a similar organtzation on the other side. With luck, we shall have nine months to perfect our ar rangements, so there is no time to be lost. The thing must be properly or- ganized on a national basis, Psp I would propose that the T.

The fascist organization ts a splendid example for them to follow as vee details.” HAT has brought forward the issue of armed struggle so quick- ly and burningly? The answer is the revolutionization of the British labor movement, and the determination of the British gov- ernment to (in the words of advice given it by the Chicago Tribune) “smash this menace while tlfere is yet time.” The Scarborough Trades Congress, representing the, organized millions of British labor, decided upon a revolu- tionary course, marked by the follow- ing: (1) “This congress declares that the trade union movement must or- ganize to prepare the trade unions in conjunction with the party of the workers to struggle for the over. throw of capitalism.” it warns against schemes of co-partnership, and declares for a shop committee movement “to force the capitalists to relinquish thelr grip on industry.” (2) Approved of the Anglo-Rus- sian Unity Commission, and deolar- od “We consider it our duty to stand by the Russian workers.” (3) Declared for world unity of the trade union movement on the IS 6 IV EN HS HAT.AT LOCAL Attack on T.

ae a ies me oe ee ro oe Tt FE By B. somsork” UR party, the Workers (Commun- ist) Party is now in the process of Bolshevik reorganization. It is a dif- ficult task and it etragns every ounce of the energy of the party. What are the main difficulties? The first one consists in the fact that the reorgan- ization follows after a severe faction-. al fight within the party (which in it- self is a part of this process of Bol- ghevization and which Is not yet out- lived). Secondly, the party in the course of this process, and also as a part of it, must wage a relentless struggle againdt ‘the social-democratic, opportunist tendencies still remaining within its ranks. And, finally, there is this difficulty: that the party is composed overwhelmingly of foreign born workers and that it must accom- plish the task of welding together these workers, who speak seventeen different languages, into one monolit- ic, Bolshevik structure. The party will overcome all these difficulties. The recent party conven- on has shown that the overwhelm- g majority of the party is loyal to the party and to the Communist Inter- /Mational in the struggle against the opportunist elements. If there were any Triends of Lore at this convention, they did not dare to raise their voice in his defense. The subsequent con- ventions of the Jewish and Greek sec- tions of the party and the New York conference of the German section fur- nish additional profs that the oppar- tunist elements will not find any ap- preciable following among the mem- bership of the party. In the Jewish convention not a voice was raised in efense of Lore; on the contrary, his rmer followers made a declaration itting their errors and pledging loyalty to the Comintern. The Greek nvention went unanimously on re- tord for the Bolshevization of the party and the fight against Loreism. * At the German conference in New York among a hundred participants, only two raised a feeble voice in de- fense of Lore. UR party is overwhelmingly prolet- arian in its composition, and this is a guarantee that it will come out victorious and with little losses from the struggle to rid itself of oppor- tunist tendencies, and elements. But how successful will it be in overcoming the difficulty of language divisions? The answer to this we must seek in the objective conditions within the American proletariat of which the party is an inseparable part. The language divisions within our party are but a reflection of the language barriers existing within the American working class. Comrade Pepper in his pamphlet “For a Labor Party” presented, for the first time in the American Communlst literature, ah analysis of the American working class. He pointed out the historical divisions into skilled and unskilled, native and foreign born, and what im- portance these factors played itn the past as an obstacle to the unification of the American working class and the development of its political con- sciousness. He also. pointed out that since the world war deep changes oc- eured within the American working class—-a great levelling process has taken place: the unskilled workers were able to raise considerably their working conditions so as to approach the skilled; on the other hand, with the practical cessation of immigration and emigration, the foretgn born work- ers became “Americanized” to a great degree. They have learned the lan- Euage, entered the trade unions: the Zigantic struggles which mark the after war period brougne a further rapproachement between re native and the foreign born workers. The common suffering from governmental oppression served the same end. T is to the everlasting credit of our party, as the leader of the Amer- ican working class, that on the basis of the correct analysis of these condi- tions, made in its name by Comrade Pepper, it formulated its slogan “For a Labor Party” and for a time was a leader in this movement assisting the American workers in the process of freeing themselves from the political leadership of the bourgeoisie. It Is again on the basis of the correct analysis of these changes within the American working class that the lead- ership of the party can now go to the membership and inspire it with confi- dence that it will overcome the ob- stacie which the language divisions place in the way to Bolshevik reorgan- ization of the party. This reorganiza- tion in one of its aspects can be con- FULL INF ORMATION REGARDING MEMBERSHIP MEETINGS BEING HELD IN REORGANIZATION DRIVE}, Workers (Communist) party’s reorganization campaign with the following dates: CHICAGO, Ruthenberg and Martin Abern.

The language sections form such an overwhelming part of the member- ship of the party; the conditions of the workers within them are essent- lally so similar that it would be an error to obscure the great meaning of the Bolshevik reorganization by ap- proaching it from the narrow view- point of some unimportant peculari- ties of a given language section. On the contrary, all the implications which the reorganization carries for the party as a whole, are true for the various language sections. They all center around this fact that the ‘party is making the workshop the starting point and the basis of all its activi- ties. For the entire party, this means the establishment of a broader and a deeper contact with the masses of the workers and, for the language sections it signifies the abandonment of their isolation and coming into closer con- tact with the struggle of the Amer- ican proletariat. T would be erroneous to suppose that with the reorganization the party would confine its activities only to the participation in the conflicts arising in the workshops and would abandon its activities and.. struggles in other fields. Similarly in relation to the language sectins the reorganiza- tion does not signify that they, will lose their contact with and cease ‘act- ivities in the organizations of the fore- ign born workers outside the Shop. While establishing our part? fitmiy in the mines and mills and workshops let us be on guard against the’ téeha- ency of “economism,” a tendeney ' be against which the Russian Conrmupist Party had to wage a relentless. fight. This tendency has already eae shown itself within our party. od T manifests itself clearly in* some dt the shop bulletins of the already existing shop nuclei of the party when they deal exclusively with the grte- vances of the workers in the particu- jar shop when they fail to give them political interpretatiog, when they ignore completely the political strug- gles in the country outside the shop and the struggles of the workers against the rule of capitalism thruout the world. The “complete orientation of our party toward industry and the industrial workers as the only sound basis for a Communist party” of which some of our comrades speak, niust not be interpreted ag the lowering of the party to the fevel of purely economic struggles of the workers; on the con- trary, the reorganization means that the party will strive and will be in- creasingly able to “politicalize” these struggles developing them into a struggle for power. The shop is only a starting point but our party strives to lead the workers out of the shop and into the struggle for the conquest of political power. We must firmly re- member this. The main factor which has to be taken into account in the process of the reorganization of the language sections is the degree of their Communist development. Is is essent- ial that in such sections in which the remnants of social-democratic ideol- ogy persist, yet strongly, the party should start an energetic and imme- diate campaign to win over the mem- bership to the Communist view point. Our party went thru six years of Communist struggles. With this back- ground, there is no doubt et it will | be able to proceed with determination and carry out successfully the task of reorganization—to become a more powerful and worthy ®#ection of the Communist International. , LETTISH FEDERATION BUREAU "PLEDGES UNQUALIFIED SUPPORT TO COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL BOSTON, Sept. 28.~-The bureau of the Lettish federation unconditionally approves of the action of the Communist International in approving the Ruthenberg leadership of the Workers (Communist) Party of America in a resolution sent to the DAILY WORKER. for publication.

Our party cannot enter into such an election alliance with the ‘socialist party. The socialigtparty has shown itself to be the betrayer of the pro- letarian revolution in every country where it has been put to a test. The socialists today are fighting against Soviet Russia and the proletarian gov- ernment which rules that country in the workers’ interests. The socialists enter the election campaign -because they believe tht they can bring re- forms from the capitalist state and eventually achieve socialism thru the election of the officials of the capital- ist state. We, as Communists, enter the election campaign for revolution- ary agitation, as a means of exposing the character of the capitalist state, and as a means of mobilizing the for- ces which will ultimately destroy the capitalist state power. The gulf be- tween these two views is so deepsthat they cannot be harmonized and there can never be an alliance between so- cialists and Communists, and there- fore a purely election alliance between socialists and Communists is wnthink- able. It is true that the Communist Inter- national proposed to the German Com- munist Party in relation to the presi- i we election in Germany that the ommunist Party proposed to the so- tial democratic party that on the basis of the socialists supporting a socialist eandidate pledged to certain demands, the Communists would withdraw their candidate in the second election. The basis of this proposal was the mon- archial danger in the candidacy of Hindenburg. The Communists, who ever fight for the workers’ interests, were prepared to support a social de- }mocratic candidate for president in order to unite the workers against the monarchy, to prevent the elevation t¢ ! “7 TY . th : DECEMBER sky.

A howl: of terror went up all over the world, from capitalists, from Ramsay MacDonald cut short preachers, and from “labor leaders.” representative of the French imper- lalists and Mellon, a big :banker by Senatér Borah.. Borah asks Melion at what interest is the two billions of dollars in loans that are being made to France and other nations, being loaned. France is attempting to raise $400,- 000,000 in America. Most of these ‘bonds are to be sold to the small in- vestors in the attempt to keep France’s head above water. Unable to Pay~ interest. Borah points out that France will be unable to pay even the interest on these bonds as she is bankrupt and that it is up to Mellon to stop his visit with the king in order to try to stem the.tide, but without |‘¢ S#le of those bonds im America. avail. All the big bugs of the former “labor cabinet” (except Wheat- ley) have been doing their bit to stop the leftward drive, but they have failed as: MacDonald failed. And now they are all gathering at Liverpool at the labor party conference. It will be.a showdown be- tween MacDonaldism and the life interests of the British workers. It is unfortunate that the left wing in the labor party is still so weak ideologically. There is danger that it will not make its stand sufficiently definite and uncompromising when faced with the neces- sity to break cleanly with MacDonaldism. They are profoundly tainted with christian pacifism and with fear of struggle. But even Lanebury’s Labor Weekly in its current issue declares in large bold face-type: ‘aes The immediate “task before us Is to bring the labor party confer- ence to as plain and unequivocal a declaration of left wing policy as the trade unions have made. These left wingers are.most of them not Communists. But they Mellon, Coolidge and Caillaux do not know how to take this affront. Caillaux realizes that failure to get satisfactory debt settlement and a loan in America means the end of French imperialism. Drown Disappointments. The disappointments of Caillaux will be temporarily drowned, in choice Bordeaux and Burgundy vin- tages, as prominent vine growers in France have sent a number of cases of champagne.ts the French delega- tion in America. The mission is al- lowed to have all the liquor it wants without the interference of the pro- hibition agents as diplomatic im- munity gives them that privilege. have lost their fear of Communism, and recognize in the Communists the most essential elements for a militant struggle against capital- ism. Lansbury says, for example: “It is true that the labor party at SECURITY: PACT foolishly excludes the Communists; but that is-a‘smaH mat- ter, easily and soon, we believe, to be put right.” : ty It is amusing to see “our own” New York Times rush to the rescue of MacDonald: It quotes approvingly his words agaitist: the Communists, pointing’ out, however, that even MaeDonald isnot drastic enough and deploring the weakness of somie’of ‘his words. And the capitalist lackeys inside the labor movement are even more panie-stricken about the leftward movement in “Britain. Chester M. ‘Wright, notorious for such services, rushes into’ print to assure the bourgeoisie that the British labor movement: is ‘no longer a trade union institution in any sense of the word,” andsthat' c the A.

Help China! ; The international committee of the Workers’ International Re- lief has cabled an urgent call to its American section asking that everything possible should be done to raise funds for the relief of the Chinese masses who are destitute owing to the long struggle carried on by them against foreign imperjalism, with the inevitable dislocation of productive forces that such a struggle involves. The international headquarters of the W. I. R. was spurred to renewed activity in its Chinese campaign on receipt of a cable from rector of the National University: of: Pekin, who points out that the foreign imperialists are mobilizing their forces Dr. Koumangyu, for a crushing attack on the Canton government, the center of re- sistance to all imperialist attacks, and the spiritual 7 Readee te of ‘the movement for the unification of China.

For a long time France held out against the security pact because Ger- many’s demands were not only a big American loan and some modification of the Dawes’ plan to save her from an impending crisis, but evacuation of the Rhineland as well as Cologne and the recovery of territory, ultimately, on the eastern frontier taken from her by the Versailles treaties, and made into part of France’s puppet na- tions between Germany and ‘Russia. The implied threat was if Germany didn’t get aid from the “west she would “turn toward the east,” i, e. make a. rapprochement with Soviet Russia. By combined British and American financial pressure upon bankrupt France, particularly the demand of America for funding of the $4,200,000, 000 debt, France was made to listen to “reason.” Evacuation of Cologne is arranged under the cover of the sudden discovery by the French that “German defaults in disarmament are merely technical and can easily be overlooked.” Build Anti-Soviet Alliance. America can furnish Germany money to stave off the collapse~of the Dawes’ plan. Evacuation of the Rhineland, tho provided by the Ver- sailles treaty to last ten years will it is reported, nevertheless be ar- ranged in order to trade off this con- cession to Germany for her agree- ment to sign guarantee treaties with Poland and Czecho-Slovakia in which she gives up her claims for revision > “4a V1" 7 ) ae 71 R aw , > ay* ar . oO 1 lis in labor everywhere as they fight the robber barons of capitalism of.
