The German DebacIe and After

The wirepulling and scene-shifting behind the
diplomatic curtains of the London Preparations
Conference are distinct tribute to the prowess of
the American capitalist class in it's uninterrupted
march towards mastery Of the industries and re-
sources of Europe. For years the Washington adj
minstration of big capital has been houndering in
the morasses of hesitation and doubt as to- the
definite foreign policy it was to pursue. Now,
thanks to the good sense for profit that our CAPT
talist class has developed, we have at last what
looks like definite European policy.
At no time was there any doubt as to what our
ruling class was after in Europe. To our biggest
bankers and industrial magnates Europe, like ASIA
South America, and Africa, was simply another
economic prize to be won in their struggle for
world commercial and political supremacy. But
our moneyed overlords were merely biding their
time to come out in the open.
Today American mperialist policy is being
written by our secretaries of state and the treasury
and is being dictated by score of our leading
bankers who are now mentioning in the capitals
across the Atlantic. There is hardly first class
bank that does not have it's representative in
Europe at this moment. 1t seems if our financial
buzzards having a merry time of it.
And at whose expense? Just now it is the ruins of
what once was the mighty German industrialorgani
zation that is whetting the appetite of our profit
eering class. The German Wholesalers Association
says more than two thousand German firms are
in a state of bankruptcy. In the last few weeks
average of twenty-six firms day took refuge in
form Of receivership called illegal business super
vision" One day this number reached seventy-one.
Apparently German industry has reached the stage
where American capitalists feel they set their
price for the recevership they to establish
But what will come after the economic subjuga-
ton of Germany by American capitalists? The
continent of Europe tends to be economic entity
despite the countless artificial barriers put up
against its natural functioning. Political control
in some form other, is the next step. Then must
follow attempts to "put in order" the Industries
of the other countries The German debacle is only
the prelude to another world conflict far more in
fernal than the catastrophe of ten years ago.

BY KARL REEVE.

THE voluminous report condemn
ing the platoon school system,
approved by the last meeting Of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, is OBJ
viously an attempt by Victor Olander
to gain prestige among the workers
on a safe" issue. Olander's report
is in no se1se a working class or
militant labof document
The report which was written by
Olander and presented to the Fedora
ton by Johh Fitzpatrick on behalf
of the executive board, ignores the
issues of the conflicting interests of
the workers and capitalists in the
educational system. No mention is
made Of the teachers council move
ment. The militaristic propaganda in
the schools is completely ignored. 1t
is not explained that teachers often
lose their jobs for attempting to
teach the truth about history and eco
Monies. No protest is made in the
report against the use of text books
which glorify war. and inspire the pu-
pills to be good industrial slaves on
the chance Of achieving success"
The evil effects of maintaining
schools with the tax on large corpo-
rations is not touched upon. Altho
the report mentions Hindu castles, no
mention is made OF the class struggle
between the captains OF industry and
the workers. The domination of the
school system by corrupt politicians
and by the capitalists is not demon
strated. NO CONSTRUCTIVE MEAS
URE OF WORKERS CONTROL OF
INDUSTRY OR PARENTS AND
TEACH ERS' CONTROL OF
SCHOOLS is BRoACHED.
Olander weakly declares that the
platoon system overcrowds the
schools and injects hasty and ma
chine-like methods which are bad for
the child into the educational system.

We Stand For the Living!

Crocodile tears stream from the eyes of every
capitalist editor in America. The ''silent homage"
to the million dead German soldiers, was broken
by the German Communists singing the InternG-
tionale, distributing leaflets and shouting "Down
with war! Long live the Soviet Republicw
The Chicago Tribune stood aghast. Though it,
and the other American prostitutes of the press,
had charged all of atrocities against these
German soldiers though they had spurred on
American workers to shoot, stab and disembowe
these German soldiers, and be shot, stabbed and
disembowelled by them-in behalf of Morgan's
loans to the Alies-it walls that ''the solemn dig
nifty of the nations tribute to the killed on
the battle fields was broken"
The Communists are enemies of "solemn dignity
of this sort. We know that the same hypocrites
who, the socialist Opposition" to the Kaiser,
before promised the German workers to pre-
vent the Kaiser from declaring war, turned traitor
embraced the Kaiser blessed the war and drove
the workers to the trenches. More! We know that
these hypocrites are now the Socialist" gov
eminent of Germany, and that any demonstration
of sympathy they make for the million workers
they sent to slaughter is CHASTITY fraud.
We Communists further know that this fraud,
if believed by the masses, would permit another
million workers to be tricked into the trenches,
because they trust that those traitors like Ebert
ana NOsKe ana Scneluemann' VINO snow sympathy
with their dead, would not make war like the
Kaiser did, would not permit another world
slaughter.
We Communists know this illusion of the masses
We bend every effort to expose the hypocrites in
all nations who make the workers feel secure in
trusting them until they trick more millions of
men into war. That is the reason our German com
rades rsked collision with militia and police armed
with rifles to expose the gigantic and threatening
fake, to tear the mask from war-making ypocrites

Teachers Councils and the Platoon System

all reference to the relation of the
public school system to the class
struggle, on the contrary, objects to
the caste system of classification as
an attempt to draw class lines. The
class lines are most certainly there.
The militarist propaganda of the
capitalists is there. The attempt OF
big business to make the schools a
robot factory for manufacturing
trained slaves, knowing a vocation;
but unable to think independently is
there. The struggles of the teachers
for freedom of education is there,
BUT OLANDER'S REPORT DID NOT
MAKE THESE RADICAL" ASSExy
TIONS WHICH MIGHT GET HIM
IN BAD WITH HIS POLITICAL
FRIENDS.
It remained for Arne Swabeck, de-
legate to the Federation from the
Painters union, to expose the futility
of olander's concoction. mo mention
is made of the work of the teachers
councils" Swabeck told the Fedora
ton. 1.-THE teachers are the ones who
know how the children should be
taught. The most important issue be-
fore the Federation on this matter IS
a demand that the teachers councils
be given control of the educational
methods. And yet this lengthy report
makes no mention Of teachers coun-
ellis"
These brief remarks OF Swabeck
called forth defense by Olander
which consumed forty-hve minutes.
and which, when stripped of its clever
rhetoric and fiowery oratory, was as
perverted and reactionary as GLAND
er's speeches generally are.
Olander admitted that teachers
councils were very important. He adj
mitted that the teachers thru them
have done great deal to maintain
correct methods OF pedagogy in the
schools. But" he said. teachers
councils are not the important issue
at this time. The main thing now
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-06

is to study and understand the dan
gers of the platoon and classification
methods in the schools"
Even on the matters dealt with in
the report, Olander repeatedly stated
there is no hurry" there is plenty
of time" He "refrained from naming
any individual on the board of educa-
ton as responsible"
While he theoretically tried to
prove himself a real "laborite" by
denouncing the introduction of tho
platoon system. he kept his political
contacts clear by telling what a
friendly, pious lot the members of the
board Of education are.
Olander did his usual trick Of blow
ing hot and cold in the same breath
praising the teachers councils, but
declaring the time is inopportune to
push them; condemning the platoon
system, but saying there is no hur-
ry"; denouncing the introducers of
the caste method of education, but
carefully avoiding to definitely place
the responsibility.
The Federation ofiicials pushed thru
the report in regular machine style.
First came the reading OF the lengthy
report itself, consuming an hour, and
touching not once upon the class
nature Of the Gary method of educa

person in this country. This high
standard Of life is denied the workers
and exploited farmers Of the United
States. Millions of these producers
of wealth are able to secure for their
labor only the means for bare ex-
istence. Millions Of workers must
work long hours, under bad working
conditions, for low wages. Millions
are periodically unemployed, as at
present, with all the consequent mis-
cry and suffering for themselves and
their families. In order to keep these
conditions from growing worse, mil
lions of Industrial workers are peri
ehy of production upon which the
fight back the greedy employers. Mil
lions Of farmers have been driven
into bankruptcy and from the land
because Of inability to earn enough for
living
These conditions prevail in coun-
try in which we have the means of
supplying a high standard of life to
every person because relatively
small class has fastened its grip upon
the raw materials and Industries and
uses these to enrich itself at the ex-
pense Of the producers. Thru theft,
fraud, corruption, bribery and the cap
italist system Of profit taking, this
capitalist class has become the owner
of the land, raw material and machin-
inery Of production upon which the
workers and farmers are dependent
for hvlihood-
The raw materials and industries of
the United States are owned by the
Garys, Morsans, Rockefellers, Fords,
McCormicks and other great capital
lists. The workers and farmers alike
pay tribute to these capitalists They
are compelled to accept a low stand
ard of living in order that the CAPT
talists may amass even greater for
tunes for themselves.
1t is this system of capitalist own
ership Of industry, which gives the
wealth produced to the few, that de-
MES the millions of industrial work
ers, agricultural workers and exploited
farmers the enjoyment of that high
standard Of life which their labor and
the wealth they produce makes pos
sible in this country.
1t is this system of capitalist own
ership of industry which is the basis
of the class struggle between the
workers, fighting for more of what
they produce, and the capitalists ever
bent on securing greater and greater
profits for themselves.
How the Capitalists Use the
Government.
The government of the United
States is and has been government
of, by, and for the capitalists. 1t is
thru the government and use of the
governmental, power that the capital
lists maintain their grip on the indus
tries and their power to rob the indus
trial workers, agricultural workers
and farmers.
During the war, with the connivance
of government officials, the capitalists
looted the country of billions Of
wealth. Since the war the shipping
board deals, the war veterans board
corruption, the Teapot Dome expos
ures, have shown how the capitalists
fill their pockets at the expense of the
working and farming masses.
Governmental legislation is framed
so as to yield the capitalists more and
more profits. Tariff laws, taxation
laws, agrarian bank laws, are all
framed so as to enable the bankers
and industrial magnates to take more

and more OF what the workers pro-
duce.
To prevent the workers from Sc
curing better wages and working con-
ditions thru strikes. the capitalists
use the government to destroy these
strikes. The disgraceful Daugherty
Injunction against the railway shop
men, the use Of troops against the
miners in their strike In 1922, the
use of the Railway Labor Board
against the railroad workers. are only
outstanding examples Of the continual
use of the governmental power by the
capitalists to protect themselves in
taking greater ard greater profits out
OF the labor of the workers.
The government is dictatorship Of
the capitalists and their instrument
for the oppression and exploitation of
the workers. Altho the workers are
permitted to vote, the capitalists are
able, thru their control of the means
of information and thru their eco
nomic power to completely dominate
the government, national, state and
local.
The Election This Year.
It is these conditions which the
workers and exploited farmers must
consider in using their political
power in the election this year.
The capitalist dictatorship has
named two candidates. The Republi-
can, strikebreaker Coolidge, and the
Morgan-Rockefeler lawyer Davis.
Both are agents of the capitalist class.
They and the other candidates of the
two old parties will Loyalty serve the
capitalists If returned to power-as
they have done in the past.
LaFollette, who is running as an
Independent, progressive Republican,
is equally supporter of the capitalist
system of exploitation. The only diff
ference between LaFollette and Cool
idge and Davis is that LaFollette rep
resents the independent manufactur-
ers, bankers and merchants, who are
seeking greater power and profit for
themselves and are trying to use the
workers and farmers to attain that
end
LaFollette is the representative of
little business against big business,
but not the representative of the work
ers and exploited farmers In their
struggle against the capitalists. La
Follette's platform is not a workers
and farmers platform, but little
business mans platform with some
bait thrown in for sections of the
skilled workers.
Against these three candidates of
the capitalist system of exploitation,
big and little, the Workers (Com-
(munist) Party presents working class
candidates-Foster and Gitlow-and a
working class platform.
The Workers Must Rule.
There is only one way in which the
exploitation of the workers and farm
ers of this country can be ended. That
is through the workers organizing
their mass power, ending the capital
list dictatorship and establishing the
Workers and Farmers Government.
In place of the capitalist dictator
ship there must be established the
rule Of the workers. The govern
mental power must be used in the
interest Of the workers and farmers
as it is now used by the capitalist
dictatorship in the interest of the cap
italist class.
The Russian Workers and Peasants
have established their rule in the
form of the Soviet Government and
are using their power against the
capitalists and for tnemselves-to

imperialism. The capitalist govern
ment Of the United States is already
preparing for a new war. 1t is using
its power to Cypress weaker nations
In the interest of the capitalists, as in
Haiti, Santo Domingo and Central
America. 1t is holding the Philippine
Islands in subsection. 1t is aiding to
force the Dawes plan upon Germany
in order to enslave the workers of
that country. The Workers Party
will fight against militarism and i'm

The Union of Soviet Socialist Re-

capitalist government of the United
States refuses it recognition and the

The Workers Party will rally the
workers for immediate, unconditional
recognition ofSthe Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics.
The measures outlined here, are
measures for immediate struggle and
mobilization of the workers against
the capitalist class and the capitalist 4
dictatorship in the United States. The
end of the glazing evils of capitalist
society can only come with the vic
tory of the workers and the establish
ment of the Workers and Peasants

will be abolished and the Communist
society created. The Workers Party
will carry on the struggle until this
goal is achieved.
