FOUNDATIONS OF A REBEL
- By Tom Clifford. =

The European nations which partic-
ipated in the World War are bankrupt.
This is an admission made by no less
a parsonage than Mark o. Prentiss,
chairman of the board Of directors of
the Bankers Foreign Clearing House.
Here is a frank confession from one
who ought to know that the enormous
financial obligations of the Allies
must, through necessity, be repudiatad'
These obligations to the United States
government and its financiers alone
amount to $lS,OOO,COO,Oo0, Germany's
total wealth is $500O0,O00,G0, against
which stands an Indebtedness Of $55,-
c0O,OeO,OOo frances only hope of re-
covcry from absolute impoverishment
is the collection Of the indemnity levied
upon Germany, which of course will
never be paid. Austria has been re-
duced to a condition of absolute ruin
The financial status Of Italy borders
On insolvency. England is no better
eff eff -her. expenditures at the present
time being almost double her income.
No wonder Mr.. Prentiss declares;
"The world is sitting on a volcano
that may start its eruption at any
time, with the result that the finan'
clal structure of the world, as we have
grown accustomed to it, will be TO-
tally destroyed" The beginning of the
end has errived. The financial end CT
the capitalist system is rapidly ap'
preaching a state of chaos, and The
money manipulators the world over,
and especially in America, are panic
stricken.

II Is with relief l contrast the pres.
snt plight Of the Allies with the dc.
velopmcnt Of Soviet Russia. Although
still compelled to struggle with adverse
conditions, the Russian workers are
not ercumbered with gigantic debt

Europe. Day by day Soviet Russia Is
working out her salvation, and will
soon be- able to stand alone and defy
the bcurgeoisie Of the world. The trade
that has hitherto been denied 10 Rus.

eagerly sought by the European Allies

Russia has the sort of government she
desires. At any rate, they will have 20
"come across"
The one outstanding opponent among
the Allies to Soviet recognition is
France, due to the insistance that the
Russian government recognize the loans
made by France to Russia under the
old regime. However, the announcement
recently made by theBerlin government
that working trade agreement has been

ment will bring France to her knees
through fear that her perpetual enemy
will thus secure AN economic advantage
to her consequent detriment. All along
the line the opposition to recognition
is weakening by very force of cir
eumstances and necessity. Although it
Iaay be deferred for short period,
victory for the Soviet government is
assured. The Allies have no other alter.
native and must accep. the inevitable.
To the keen observer the present
state Of the public mind in these
United States is portenIious not to
say neutrality-suspicious. from the
standpoint Of social unrest and pro.
pitious of an upheaval that may event.
uate IN the establishment of economic
justice. Discomfort has reached the
point where the mental attitude of the
mass may he defined as "I don't care
Q damn" That the bourgeoisie are fully
aware Of this universal feeling and
sense the threatened danger to their
rule is made apparent by their frantic
efforts to "rogulate" industry with a
view to modifying the workers. The
matter, however, has gotten beyond
their control. Their rotten system has
so completely broken down that all
efforts to patch it up will prove un-
availing. Let us expectantly await its
complete dissolution and prepare our.
selves for the work of the immediate
future-the reorganization of society.
The toiler. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1919-1922, 1920-06-11


the loans made to Great Britain by
this country will prove total loss,
feeling of antagonism toward the
former is developing. There is no dis
guising the fact that Anglo-American
relations are becoming so tense as to
couse anxiety. Attacks on England s
integrity are becoming quite common in
the United States Senate and uncom.
plimentary references to America have
recently been made in the British
House of Lords. This feeling of dis
trust must develop eventually into
open warfare between the bourgeoisie
Of the two countries. A marked proof
of this tate of tension is evidenced
by the total absence from the columns
Of our capitalist press Of the erstwhile
reference to great Britain as "0ur
Noble Ally" They have likewise
shelved the phrase "Blood is thicker
than water" which was used so eff.
fectively during the war. Since "our
English cousins" have gone on the
rocks financially the relationship is
no longer insisted upon. Economic
deterninism is the Alpha and Omega
Of bourgeois ethics. money talks"
is their favorite aphorism, and since
Great Britain has lost her voice in the
matter Of meeting her bills she is no
longer entitled to respectful consider.

CAUSES FOR RACE RIOTS.

occupant of the car. A group Of Amer
lean sailors from a nearby naval train
ing station waxed indignant and pro
ceeded to march upon the colored set.
Element in the town of Waukegan with
the avowed purpose of destroying the
denizens of the place.
Before the incident was closed, ma.
rines and the local police force were
called out. two marines were shot and

ors were Jailed. and the Chicago daily
newspapers INDUCED in a scare

ing intensity
After the battle had been o and
lost. the colored people in the town
resumed their daily occupations. The
sun shone beningly on the waters OF
Lake Michigan, and the marines and
sailors nursed their outraged racial
superiority and vowed vengeance upon
all the 'niggers in the world"
The latest reports are that the pc.
lice have been unable to find the boy
who threw the stone which started
the riot. So much for ace riot causes.

The conditions of economic stabil-
ity are vitality necessary to the social
development of the race in the West.
ern Hemisphere, and especially in the
United States. What we mean by
economic stability is fixed by the
growing magnitude and increasing
cOmpleXity of our material and social
interests. Our view Of life is widen
ing, social aspiration has become
a matter of general and serious con-
Germ and, in a more specific ense.
our industrial and business needs have
grown to where they are making in
sistent demands on, our most thought
full consideration.
We are spending too much energy
on the creation of socio-philanthropic
movements and giving too little at
tention to that branch Of activities
which develop the spirit of ~self-depend-
ence. Self-dependenCe is the key that
will open the doors to opportunity.
In other words, we have reached the
place at which we will be forced to
make u W opportunities. The
temper of American social forces is
to place and hold us apart from the
intimate relations of contact. Our
fight, therefore, is to make our en-
forced isolation 80 strong in purpose,
so worthy in character. SO true in spir-
it that we will constitute a splendid
example Of social development and an
uplifting influence for the preserva-
ton of the democratic instinct in the
life of the Republic.
Wholesome bread winning is the OBJ
Jectiye to be aimed at. We must de
wise the means to do our own 'stom-
ach-tilling." This applies to mental
as well as material food. The mind
has a stomach. 1t needs to be more
carefully nurtured than the physical
stomach. In the doing of this we
will acquire the strength which will
bring true economic stability for the
race in America.
And, remember that true economic
stability produces the conditions of
