situation, but will not have the cour-
age to tear up the infamous Treaty
of Versailles. The Labor Party will
utter few pious and sentimental
phrases to the colonies in Egypt and
India, but it will not have the revo-
lutionary courage to burst the British
empire. The Labor Party will receive
the power from the hands of the
king, and will not abolish the House
of Lords and will rule with the old
bureaucracy of the capitalist state
power.
The coming to power of the British
Labor Party will not mean the rule
of the British proletariat, but merely
the illusion of the rule of the work
ing class.
But exactly for this very reason,
the coming to power by the British
Labor Party will start tremendous
revolutionary process in England.
Capitalist papers have likened Mac
Donald to Kerensky. The comparison
is partly right, but partly wrong. It
is incorrect, because the petty bour-
geois Kerensky revolution in which
the working class and poor far
were the driving force acquired mas
terry after the bourgeoisie had been
defeated, after the apparatus of pow
err of old Russia had been destroyed.
Kerensky went down before the on
slaught of the Russian proletariat
which always wanted more and more
power. But Macdonald will be a
Kerensky who must reckon with two
factors: the unbroken might of the
capitalist class and the ever stronger
will of the working class. Kerensky
meant the survival of the last demo-
cratic illusions of the working class
in society in which the capitalists
were disarmed while the workers and
poor farmers had not only weapons,
but also Soviets. Macdonald will
mean the sway of the parliamentary
democratic illusions of the working
class in a society in which the capt.

talists have the majority in Parlia-
ment, where they have the king, the
House of Lords, the whole apparatus
Of state power, while the working
class has neither weapons nor
Soviets.
But in one respect Macdonald will
resemble Kerensky completely.
Whether he wishes or not, he will
contribute greatly to the radicaliza-
ton of the English working class.
The workers will have only the illu-
sion of power, but this very illusion
will impel them to demand more and
still more power. Macdonald will be
forced either to yield and help the
workers to real power-in that case
the capitalist majority of Parliament
will drive him out Immediately. Or
on the other hand, and that is much
more likely, he will protect the CAPT
talists against the onslaughts of the
workers-and he will thereby give
rise to a mighty left wing in his own
party.
1t is no accident, but rather pro-
foundly symbolic, that at the very
same time that the Labor Party

ing The railway workers helped to
elect Macdonald the labor leader to
protect their interests against CAPT
talism; and to their great surprise,
they will find against them Ramsay
Macdonald the prime minister, the
protector of the capitalist state. The
capitalist press of Great Britain is
right, Macdonald is harmless; but
behind him stands the revolution.
The workers will not follow Mac
Donald long on his pilgrimage, but
will go over to the Jumpers, to
the Communists. After Kerensky
came-Lenin. After Macdonald
the conditions of Great Britain of
1924 are not as ripe as those of Rus
STA of 1917-there will come at least
the basic prerequisite of the revolu-
ton, Communist mass party.

The Daily Herald

The Daily Worker is glad to note that the
attempts made by reactionary influences in the
British labor movement to strangle the Daily
Herald have failed. A resolution adopted at a
Joint meeting of the General Council of the
Trades Union Congress and the National Exec
utive of the Labor Party, congratulates the
paper on its splendid services in the recent cleo
ton and declares: 1.-THE Joint Meeting learns
with the greatest satisfaction that the present
position of the paper is such az to inspire con-
fidence in it's future and permanent contin-
uance"
The resolution also urges the rank and file
to give their hearty support to the labos daily.
When the announcement Was made last fall
that the Daily Herald stood in danger Of sus-
pension at the end of that year, the Communist
Party of Great Britain realizing the value of
even moderate labor paper to the working
class of that country carried on an intense pro-
paganda among the rank and file of organized
labor to save the Daily Herald. This campaign
had its effect and the British workers are now
assured that they will not have to depend on
the capitalist press for their news. Tho the
Daily Herald is not a Communist paper, The
Daily Worker, TIE only Communist paper in the
English language, greets the daily organ Of the
British working class. We await the day when
there will be an English-language Communist
Daily in London, the metropolis of British
Imperialism.

Another Coolidge

Among the many Christmas gifts handed out
by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Coolidge, the
outstanding one is the loan of the Strikebreak-
er-Brigadier General Smedley d. Butler, of the
Marine Corps to the business mems Mayor
Kendrck of Philadelphia.
The strong-armed new Director of Public
Safety in the Quaker City has been given
leave of absence for one year to clean up Phil
adelphia, to drive out all gamblers and undesir-
ables
When a wave of employing class morality
sweeps any section of the country, even the
Quaker Philadelphia, we usually don't take it
seriously and dismiss it as a joke. However,
this time the situation is really serious. We are
indebted to General Butler for frank talk AS,
a matter of fact General Butler was so frank in
his talk the first few days that he has already
been called down sharply by some newspapers.
Addressing the Bureau Chiefs, the military Di-
rector Of Public Safety let the cat out of the
bag and told what sort of cleanup Philadel-
phia would really be subjected to- Said Cen
eral Butler:

must be wiped out, too. The federation of fire.

bureau, also must CO.
The Brigadier General went on to put his
case over with a bang and indicated that he
would enforce this phase of his cleanup policy
by forming a special secret squad of 300 men
to check up on the dOings of the policemen.
Here we have a strikebreaking campaign
with vengeance. Understanding is not a
new profession to the government of Pennsyl-
vania at the head of which is the liberal pro-
gressive, moral Governor Clifford Pinchot In
Pittsburgh, the Director Of Public Safety, Nc
Candless, and Judge Macfarane broke up the
Firemen's Protective Association But this
Philadelphia incident illustrates our contention
that the government is today strikebreaking
agency in the hands of the employing class in
rather picturesque fashion. Coolidge became
the President thru his breaking the Boston
Police Strike and by grace of the accidental
death of Harding. Now the Strikebreaker-
President who kept the Puritan City of Boston
straight by smashing the policemen's union is
helping the Quaker town, Philadelphia, to
keep straight and clean up by lending the
Pennsylvanians a Brigadier General to act as
a strikebreaker and smasher of the Philadel-
phia policemen's organization

Rockefeller Welfare Work

Wide publicity is given to the phianthropc
enterprises of John D. Rockefeller and the well
fare work carried on in the Standard Oil con-
Germs is heralded by the publicists of capitalism
as the solution for the capital-labor problem.
When, as in the plant of the Corn Products
Refining Co., in Pekin, ILL.,, % or 40 workers
are killed and as many more horribly injured,
through criminal neglect on the part of the
company of the most elementary safety pre-
cautions the capitalist press suppresses the
fact that the Corn Products Refining Co. is
Rockefeller enterprise. A few years ago this
fact would have been the feature of the story
carried by the daily press.
Why the change?
The explanation is found in an article by
former newspaper man of national reputation
recently published by one of the leading Ii
beral magazines. In this article he shows how
several years ago the Standard Oil Co. entered
upon nationwide advertising campaign fea-
turing the dozens of by-products it secures
from the refining of crude oil. Laxatives, hair
tonics, soaps, toilet articles and special brands
of gasoline are a few of the sidelines boosted
by this campaign, and, needless to say these
advertising contracts are, in the parlance of
the trade, Juicy"
No longer are caricatures of John D." used
to brighten recalcitrant children The horrors
of Ludlow have been forgotten and with one
eye on the business office, editors now write of
Rockefeller charities instead of Rockefeller
corruption and cruelty. Arthur Brisbane
chants the praises of this American plutocratic
dynasty every other day, young John D. gets
his picture taken at Baptist Sunday school
convention and the murder and plundering of
workers is carried on under the most pleasant
AID profitable conditions imaginable.
Ne Pekin- disaster is proof, however, that
the Ludlow tradition is still alive 1t is not the
Rockefeller policy that has changed, but only
that on the books of Standard Oil concerns is

We submit this question for our readers to
ponder over: Has the Standard Oil ever made
a better investment?
Another question: Can the workers make
an investment that will pay bigger dividends
than the money spent in support of a fighting
paper that already has the distinction in one
day of existence of being the only Chicago
daily which connects the Pekin disaster with
company unions and welfare work" under
Standard Oil control?
