MObiIizing The Liberals

The Dawes plan has been swallowed hook, line
and sinker by the little cotere that claims to up
hold the standard of liberalism in America Just
how approval of plan promulgated by finance
capitalists providing for the enslavement of the
workers of whole nation is consistent with the
public expressions Of sympathy made for the Ger
man workers and the fierce denunciation of the
German eXploiters is something that would require
much explanation from any but liberal group.
They however, are so anxious for the stabiza-
ton of European capitalism that they are quite
willing it should be purchased by the deepest de-
graduation of the working class.
The Nation says in its issue of April 3d.
There is hope in the very fact that the
Dawes plan depends SO largely upon the fnaneers.
They have longer and wider vision than the petty
crew OF nationalist politicians who have made such
mess Of things If the plan is to succeed the
powers Will, for number OF years, be turning to the
international fnancers for loans, and the hnaneiers
will not attempt to float the huge credits required
unless they convinced that the proposed system
Is economically sound. What they call Economic
soundness" may mean new kind Of industrial
slavery, but it is at least better than an of
wars.
The endorsement of the Dawes-Morgan scheme
by the most humanitarian group among the Ameri-
can bourgeoisie is proof that the working class of
America is confronted with the most gigantic i'm
perialst conspiracy yet entered into by its rulers.
Gone are the liberal insistences that allied and
German rulers alike were guilty of fomenting the
world war and now in evidence is the supine
obedience to the wishes of the finance capitalists
that was the outstanding feature of the period pre-
facing the entry of America into that struggle
The Communist press alone in America is rails
ing its voice in protest against this monstrous
proposal to guarantee the loans made by the House
of Morgan with the power of the national govern
ment.
1t is noticeable that the liberal press is silent
upon this phase of the question altho it is the
basis for the whole scheme
'"The Dawes plan,' says The Nation, ''is at least
better than an era of new wars" This is not only
slipshod but vicious reasoning leaving out of con-
sideration altogether the atrocious nature of the
plan far as it effects the German working class
The Nation knows enough of the causes of our
entry into the last war to honestly say that just
such loans as are now proposed caused our par
ticipation.
In accepting the Dawes proposal The Nation,
therefore, is committing itself to the new war that
WILL unless capitalism is overthrown before bring
on another world struggle with the House of Nor
gan attempting to drive the working class Of this
nation into the trenches against the working class
! of Germany and other European nations to which
loans have been made.

The presidential campaign jokesters are at work
the first act being little fun at the expense of
the candidacy of William Gibbs McAdoo, the
$250,OOOOO oil baby. They are trying to find out
under what conditions 'McAdooll Do' or whether
the voters will make it "McAdieu." Even with
this added attraction, however, we do not believe
the old party circus will win an audience of any
size among the workers and farmers who are
buy planning for their own class party.

Further inquiry into the fuel oil

agreement and subsequently Were

Fall, the witness declared, told him

royalty oil, with production increas-

BIC SUB DRIVE
LAUN CHED BY
DAILY WORKER
Campaign Will Open on
March Fifteen

The first nationwide subscription
campaign undertaken by The DAILY
WORKER will open officially on
March Is, and will continue until
June Is. The quota set by the cam
paign managers is 10000 new read
ers by the end Of the drive.
The record of progress made by
The DAILY WORKER is little short
of marvellous. Since the campaign
opened last August to sell shares, I'M
til today, the workers of this country
have witnessed a piece Of successful
organizing unequalled in the history
of the working class movement in
this country.
Today The DAILY WORKER is out
in the streets, in the factories, in the
mines, out among the exploited
farmers in the fields fighting for them
and with them, helping them in their
daily battles against the organized
greed of the capitalists and pointing
the way to the solution of the pro-
blems of the producing class of this
country, the Workers Republic and
Communism.
Skeptical people who have grown
weary in the struggle, shook their
heads last fall when the Workers
Party Of America started the work of
raising 100000, that was deemed
essential before the first issue of the
fighting labor daily would make its
appearance. But the militants in
the Workers Party have faith in their
cause. They have energy. They
don't know what the word failure
means, and on the 18th day of
January, the first issue of The
DAILY WORKER came off the press.
Today, two months after the first
issue appeared. The DAILY WORK
Err owns its own building where it
will soon move into. This guarantees
its permanency as much as it is HUI
manly possible TO do so. It's home
will indeed be the centre Of the radi-
cal movement in America.
The new campaign for 10000 read
ers starts off with the advantage that
the solicitors will have no difficulty in
assuring the workers that the DAILY
WORKER is now firmly established
and that its permanency is assured.
The announcement on page three,

KANSAS MINERS
STANDING SOLID
FOR ALEX HOWA7
Vote for Special Meet
On Expulsions
BY tom TIPPET

(stnR Correspondent of the Federated Press)
PITTSBURGH, Kan, March 12.-
Alexander Howat and all other de-
posed officials of District IA, United
Mine Workers, were voted five
months back salary by the conven-
ton of Kansas miners m session
here. This period covers their off,
cial term interrupted by their expul-
ion from the union when the inter-
national organization revoked the
Kansas district charter in 1921.
Two other Howat resolutions were
also passed; one calling for a spe-
cial international convention to set
tie the Kansas controversy, the other
demanding Of the international, REIN
statement in the union for Howat and
the other expelled men.
The resolution calling for rein
statement met with little opposition.
The other two precipitared the hot.
test debate so far in the convention
which is entering its second week.
The one demanding a special inter-
national convention was the most Bit
terly fought by the administration
forces.
d. A.. Frampton, ex-president of
the adjoining Missouri district and
now an international organizer, de-
Tended the international's position in
the Howat case.
The delegates then demanded the
floor for Howat who attends the ses-
sions daily. Howat denied the charges
made by Frampton and said he had
complied with every ruling of the
national board that he knew Of and
that he had done everything it had
told him to do to bring about a
trial for himself as well as the other
expelled officials.
He has not yet been given a trial,
he says, and was prevented by force
! from presenting his case to the last
international convention and said the
| fight against the measure before the
house was directed by the interna-
tional because Of the inspiration ia
vorable action on il would give the
miners elsewhere in the country who
are agitated by the same question.

vention so that both sides Of his case
may be heard by rank and file dele

three resolutions was overwhelming
