AS WE SEE IT

DRITAIN continues to murder the
- natives Of Sudan, because they
want the right OF self determination.
Woodrow Wilson said that was one
OF the main issues involved in the
world war. England declared she was
fighting for the rights Of small ma
tions. But not so that the Irish,
Egyptians or Hindoos could see it.
The United States government is not
showing as much concern over the
rape Of Egyptian and Sudanese hber-
ties by Britain as it did about the
German march thru Belgium in 1914
THE United States government now
acQuiesces in the British murder
campaign In the Sudan, because her in
terests and those Of Britain do not
happen to clash there. But If Britain
hoped onto Honduras or Mexico. the
eagle would flap his wings. France
does not like what England is doing
In Egypt and the Sudan, but France
rs going thru the pockets of the Mo
roccans and at times thieves must
maintain an attitude Of involuntary
neutrality towards each other. Tho
peoples Of the exploited eastern
countries are rapidly organizing theil
forces for the purpose Of giving the
rcbber nations the buns rush.
I LLOYD GEORGE, the discredite6
II funkey Of British Imperialism,
writing for the Hearst syndicate,
quotes Theodore Roosevelt's brutal
advice to the BRITISH ruling class, in
a speech delivered in London by that
mountebank in 1910. Teddy en-
dorsed Britain's occupation of Egypt
on the ground that it was necessary
to restore order. For the benefit of
those who may still suffer from the
delusion that Roosevelt was not one
OF Americas most notorious and
nenseating hypocrites the following
quotation from his speech is given:
ffFT was with this primary object Of
establishing order that you went
into Egypt twenty-eight years ago,
and chief and ample justification fof
your presence in Egypt was this abso-
Lutte necessity of order being estab-
lished from without, coupled with
your ability and willingness to estab.
lish it.
IfkIOW. either you have the right
IN to be in Egypt or you have not;
either 1t is or it is not your duty tc
establish and keep order If you fee
that you have not the right to be in
Egypt. ii you do not wish to establish
and keep order there, why, then, by
ell means get out Of Egypt. If as
hope, you feel that your duty to civ
ilized mankind and your fealty to your
own great traditions alike bid you tc
stay, then make fact and name agref
and show that you are ready to NEE
In every need the responsibility which
Is yours"
THIS was the great "freedom-lov-
] ing" American talking! And it is no
wonder that the champion hypocrite OF
England should extol the outstanding
American four-fusher. 1t is worthy of
note that Lloyd George is not charged
with the responsibility Of running tho
British empire just now. But he
jumps into the fray, with voice and
pen when the interests Of the empire
are in jeopardy. And old Asquith, tho
fake liberal, is heavily interested in
Sudan cotton and irrigation ventures
And the tory government sends
troops to protect old Henry's interests
just as the labor party government
did. In fact Lloyd George is correct
In saying that the colonial policy OF
the liberal, labor and tory govern
ments did not differ.
THIS is lesson for those Ameri
II can radicals who still believe that
IA farmer labor party would figth
tliN hattles of the workers" They
have never done it in any other coun.
try TAere is only one party that viii
