The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-18

Even in China, into which country
American capital is penetrating
under the slogan of "open DOORS" we
find that the ideas popular among
masses Of the people are not the re-
ligion of Americanism, but the politi-
cal program of bolshevism translated
into Chinese. Not Wilson, not Hard
ing, not Coolidge, not Morgan or
Rockefeller, not these names are ia
miliar to the Chinese coolies and
peasants. 1t is the name of Lenin
that is being hailed with joy and hope
not only in China, but all over the
Orient
America can undermine the strength
Of England only by hypocritically
championing the cause of the Cd
pressed peoples of the colonies. We
find, however, in the Orient, side by
side with the American consul, Am
erican merchant, American professor
and American press agent also de.
voted fighters for Communism and
reyolutionists who were able to trans.
late into the native languages the
really liberating program of bolshev.
ism. All over Europe as we'll as in
Asia, American Imperialism has to
face the challenge of revolutionary
bolshevism.
l remember how in 1919, on the oc-
casien Of Wilson's arrival in Europe.
when the entire bourgeois press was
full with the names of Wilson and
Lenin, l once remarked jokingly to
Vladimir Hytch: "Lenin and Wilson.

basing, than such an aspect, is hard
to imagine
The point to consider then is not
what the actual forces of social-democ.
racy are. The, main question is
whether or not American capital, thru
a parsimonious financing of Europe,
will succeed in establishing there its
regime. It is impossible to foretell
events with any degree of certainty.
Especially is it hard to be definite as
to the time it may take for events to
develop. 1t is sufficient to understand
the new forces that are affecting
world affairs today, to have a clear
idea of the fundamental factors which
will determine the fate of Europe, and
in the light of such knowledge to fol
low the course of events strictly mark
ing down the success and failures of
the chief boss of our age, the United
States of North America.
At the same time we must under
stand and expose the political maneu-
vers of European social-democracy: 1t
is also well to remember that those
contradictions which caused the
imperialist war ten years ago, still re-
main in force like an open yawning
wound. They have become more pro-
nounced during the war, they have
been strengthened by the peace Of Yer
sailles, and have become more deeply
rooted with the development of the
class struggle in Europe. And Amer.
lea will come face to face with these
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-10-18

THE American "pacifist" program of
world subjugation is by no
means a program of peace. On the
contrary it is pregnant with wars and
with great revolutionary upheavals.
1t is not just for the fun of it that
America is building up her fleet. Am
erica is actively engaged building light
and fast cruisers, submarines and
other auxiliary warships. And when
England whispers a feeble protest,
America points to the fact that Japan
has an excess of light cruisers, which
"compels" the United States to build
more warships in order to maintain
the ratio 1888. In this manner Am
erica continues to increase the mum.
Der not only of her light cruisers, but
Of every other type of warship as
we'll.
And it is impossible for the other
governments to compete with the
United States, for the latter can turn
out warships as easily and speedily
as she turns out pies. Preparations
are thus being made for the greatest
sea battles the world has ever seen
to be staged lin the not very distant
future) on both the Atlantic and the
Pacific, provided, of course, that the
bourgeoisie will still rule the world

sharp contradictions as time goes
along.
1t is difficult task to put a hungry
people on ration. We know it from
our own experience. True, our situa-
ton, as well as our motives were diff
ferent. We were prompted to adopt
the expedient of food rationing by the
iron necessity of desperate life and
death struggle of a revolutionary
country. But from our experience we
learned that a regime of scanty rations
is under all circumstances apt to cause
discomfort and instructions. The sin
lister Kronstadt instruction is an il
lIstrative example of the shortcomings
of regime based on rations. So that
when we see now America making a
rationing, experiment on this gigantic
scale, involving many foreign nations
and doing it from purely capitalist
motives, with the sole purpose of i'm
perialist plunder,-we cannot help but
think that she will meet with strong
resistance from the masses of the
people.
Without a bitter struggle along
both class and national lines America
will not carry out her project. The
more American capital becomes pc.
litically self-reliant the broader the
scope Of its world influence, and the
greater the control of American bank
ers over the governments of Europe,
the more concerted, the more decis-
i've will be the resistance Of the
masses of Europe, not only Of the
proletariat, but even of the petty.
bourgeois peasantry. For we wish to
warn our American friends that to
turn Europe into a colony is not at

not hold it's own. Without Gompers
and his bureaucracy, without the aid
of the highly paid skilled workers,
the entire political machine Of Ameri-
can capital would break down. And
in order to keep the American labor
aristocracy in its privileged position,
it is necessary to place the European
"rabble," the European proletarian
mob on meager, stingy American
ration.
The firmer this regime of an Ameri-
can ration becomes established in
Europe, the more difficult will it be
for the European socialdemocracy to
keep up the faith of the laboring
masses in the religion of Amricanism,
and the more energetic will become
the resistance of the workers of Eu-
rope against this master of masters
American capital. 1t is then that the
slogan of European revolution, of a
Union of Soviet Republics of Europe
will receive an immediate, practical,
militant meaning for the workers of
Europe.
By what means does the European
social-democracy poison and lull into
drowsiness the consciousness of the
European proletariat? Social-democ-
racy declares that Europe, dismem-
bered and sliced into pieces by the
peace of Versailles, cannot exist with
out America. But the Communist par
ties of Europe answer: 1t is. a lie.
We can exist without America, if we
only wish to. Europe does not need
to be torn to pieces. She can become
a United Europe. And it is only the
revolutionary proletariat who can
unite and consolidate Europe into the

geoisie of the world will complacently
retreat to the rear seats assigned to it
by America and become the vassals
Of American capital. Too great are
the contradictions, too abnormal are
the appetites for gain, too strong is
the instinct to preserve the old DOM
mating position, too deeply rooted are
the traditions of q world empire in
England to permit such possibility.
Military conflicts are inevitable. "Pa-
cifist" Americanism is preparing the
ground for new wars of unusual scale
and of unimaginable monstrosity.
If we should now turn again to the
main question of the future position
of European reformism, we shall have
to say that the success of European
reformism is directly dependent upon
the success of American "pacifsm.
If American will succeed in her am
bition to turn Europe into a dominion
of the new type, i. e. if she will not
encounter in the very near future the
resistance Of the masses of the peo-
pie in the form of war or revolution,
then European social-democracy, as
the shadow of american capital, will
also preserve its influence to certain
extent And Europe will sink to
state of degeneracy and Indifference
thriving on remnants of her old glory
and leading a meager existence on a
strict American ration. All this will
be covered over with an theological
dressing made up OF stale, warmed
over maxims of European social-de-
mocracy and spiced with ingredients
(pious phrases) from the American
Quaker-pacifst kitchen. Anything ug-

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-05-15

It is apparent that the world was
not made safe for democracy by wag-
ing war 1t should be apparent that
roads can not be made safe for pedes-
trians or motorists by waging war
against the latter by prohibitive speed
regulations or drastic police rulings.
The motor car and truck have come
to stay They have come to stay be-
cause they save time, make speed.
Eliminate the speed and the time-say
ing from motor cars and men would
go back to horses.
If the speed and the time-saving re-
suit in maimings and killings; if &C
cidents and injuries follow the use
of trucks on highways, then some
other remedy must be found than will
destroy the very factors of these in
struments of transportation which
make them vital to our modern life.
The answer is plain; most people
who have studied the question see it,
and many acknowledge it. But it is,
not much talked about, because, for
sooth, the politician dreds to say any
thing which may be construed as adj
vocating more taxes, spending more
money. Had the politician of twenty
years ago advised farmers to spend
five hundred or a thousand dollars
would have been defeated for office!
for a new team to save time, he
But the answer must be made, and
we, as a people, must see it, approve
it, pay for it, The answer is wider
roads; roads with high and low speed
divisions; roads which can carry mod
ern traffic!
Not all roads, of course. But the
main roads, the well-traveled roads,
the intercity roads, the roads connect
ing State with State and county with
county 49,. these, either now or later
must be made wide enough to carry
the present and the future traffic safe
ly, assure the pedestrian of his life
and whole limbs, the motorists of free
dom from accident, and traffic the
possibility of making time without
danger to anyone.
When the automobile was new, peo-
pie cried out against hard surface
highway appropriations as "class leg
islation for speeders." Now the peo-
pie know that hard surface highways
are for them, first, for the "speeders'
afterwards. But we all want to make
