The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-11-08


the subject mainly dealt with Is not
that Of the title. but the loan. But
towards the end OF this article against
the Russian loan we find an appeal to
Macdonald:
English money must not be used
for financing bestial and bloody cam
paigners, such as that which is now
drowning Georgian liberty in blood.
Within a week Macdonald has to
speak. We once more call upon him
to study this question, for he knows
more about it than anyone else. He
was In Georgia when it began to build
up its magnincently developed and
splendidly managed state, full Of pride
in its newly-gained liberty. He was
full Of enthusiasm and confidence in
the future Of Georgia. Three years
ago he protested in glowing terms
against the unheard Of crime, against
the subsection By force OF arms. 1t
is his duty to tell US what security he
is able to offer US that our money Is
not nsed for such undertakings. He
must tell us what feelings are now
aroused in him by the ORGY Of DO
groms and murders In Georgia"
Scheme Of lmperiaIists.
1t is easy to comprehend the ends
effectively served by the Georgian
Mensheviki. They wanted to utilize
''pacifist" Imperialism for the attain
ment Of their own aims, but now it be-
comes more than evident that their
blood has served imperialism with
out any pacifist coverings. The Eng
lish capitalists are endeavoring to de-
stroy the loan agreement, in order to
employ the financial blockade for the
purpose Of forcing upon Soviet Rus
STA the standardization Of industry.
the abolition Of the foreign trade mon
opoly, and the payment Of the czarist
debts. The petty bourgeois bloekheads
dream Of utilizing imperialism for
their own ends, but invariably prove
themselves the blind tools Of imperial
ism
The fmperialist social democratic
press raises a tremendous outery over
the blood which has been shed in
Georgia But this blood is upon the
heads Of imperialist England and
France, on the heads Of the gentle
men Of the Second International
When substantiating his resolution On
Georgia at the league Of nations con-
ference. NJ. Paul Boncour, member Of
the Second International, made the
very characteristic statement: Georgia
has risen. and we. the league Of ma
tons. are bound to reply, II only by q
gesture. Yes, for the Georgian Men
shevik1, fooled BY their foreign lead
ers, the league OF nations win surely
find a gesture. But this gesture win
have to bring in money for the Eng
ltsh and French bankers and indus
trialists, for the whole of their outcry
over Georgia has but one single end
in view: The English workers are ex-
ercising pressure on the English gov
eminent, and demanding a loan for
Soviet Russia. The English press
therefore raises its outcry over Soviet
brutalities in Georgia In order to SOW
confusion in the ranks Of the Eng
fish workers, and to weaken their
pressure on Macdonald.
This is the reply to the question
why the rising in Georgia was neces-
sary But the gentlemen managing
the English imperialist press have this
time woven a mistake into their It's
sue of untruths. They are obliged to
acknowledge that there has been no
rising in Georgia, but a putsch or
ganized in Paris. and they have shown
their hands remarkably soon, and de-
monstrated with remarkable candor
that the bloodshed in Georgia was for
them a necessity, as a means for frus-
trating the Russian loan. The truth
about Georgia Is not a blow against
the Soviet Union. but against the
bloody bandits Of English imperialism,
who are now shedding crocodile's
tears over the Georgian victims who
