willing to permit the middle-class
liberals to exploit in their interests
the political power Of the workers and
poor farmers; he who fails to sup
port the June 18th Convention and
enable it to create powerful Farmer
Labor party is not only not a progress
sive but rank reactionary.
This is our conception. If the SEN
ator accepts it. and considers him
self progressive in this sense, then
he will have to revise" his statement
against June 18th considerably. He
will then have to change somewhat
his tactics in Congress. And, lastly,
he will have to come to the June 18th
Convention and help build a class
party of workers and poor farmers.
We realize, of course, that there
are yet other kinds of progressives,
for instance, the progressive block in
congress of which senator LaFollette
is the leader. We also know that as
between Coolidge, Pepper, Lodge, etc.,
who represent big capital, and La
Toilette, Magnus Johnson, Wheeler,
etc., who represent small capital. the
former are reactionary and the latter
are progressive.
But this is not the sort OF progress
that the workers are exclusively inter-
ested in. The workers and poor farm
ers want primarily their own pro-
gress, which they can bring about
only by an organized struggle in their
own interests. And for this they
need a political party Of their own.
That's why the test for progress at
this day in the labor movement is a
|farmer-labor party.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-07

saying right along. No middle class
liberal, no matter how honest, and
no middle class third" party will want
or be able to fight the battles Of the
workers and exploited farmers. For
this we need no better proof than the
performances Of the LaFollette group
in the present session of Congress.
The political struggle is a class
struggle, fight between various
classes and social groups over mate
rial, economic interests. The proper
tied middle-class group, whom La
Toilette represents politically, have
perfectly definite, concrete economic
interests which are distinct from and
opposed to the interests of the work
ing class and exploited farmers.
Such being the case, how can any
one expect the middle-class liberal
group to defend the interests of the
laboring masses? Politics is no char
ity, nor is it child's play. 1t is seri-
GUS and grim business. Consequent
ly, only those classes can expect to
benefit by politics and political action
which are organized in their own
parties and fight their battles under
their own leadership. The workers
and poor farmers must, therefore,
have political party of their own.
LaFollette does not like that idea,
of course. Why should he? He knows
that class-party of workers and poor
farmers-a Farmer-Labor party
means Independent political action by
the laboring masses. 1t means that
the workers and poor farmers will
not permit themselves to be utilized

and exploited politically by and for
the middle classes. And that's pre-
cisely what hurts and worries the La
Toilette group when they see the June
18th Convention and the movement
towards class-party picking up ever
new strength and volume. This was
also one of the main reasons why La
Toilette had finally decided openly
to attack the June 18th Convention
and to attempt to destroy it.
The LaFolIette Attack
We do not believe this attack on
the farmer-labor movement to be the
result of bad counsel as some of
our associates in the June 18th con-
vention seem to believe. We don't
think so. The senator is no longer a
baby in politics. He knows the game
as we'll as, if not better than we. His
attack, as we see it, is the result Of
economic class-opposition of the petty
bourgeoisie against the political indie
pendence of the working class.
The liberal middle-class, just as
well as the reactionary labor leaders,
will suffer losses economically by the
formation of class-party of workers
and poor farmers. The June 18th con-
vention promises to result in the for
nation of such party. Consequent
ly, Down with June I'll"
In other words, LaFollette is fight

Middle Class Liberalism Versus
Class independence.

LaFollette and his group in con-
gress have been playing middle class
liberal politics. Not very effectively,
not very efficiently, but that was their
game. A consistent defense of the
interests Of the manufacturer, mer-
chant, small banker and well-to-do
farmer as against the domination Of
Big Business.
No one who is opposed to capitalist
domination, even from working
class point OF view, will attempt to
disparage or discourage this middle
class fight against Big Business. Let
them fight, and the harder the better.
But where does the worker and poor
farmer come in on this show? That's
what we demand to know.
And here we must repeat as en-
phatically as we can what we have been

1t is not known definitely the
number of claims involved, but it
is estimated that such claims would

would be necessary to pay them.

much larger proportionate Increase
than that of the sane population. Re

this agreement of 1889. was laid

struction of this agreement and

The language used in treaties

How the words of the treaty were

pie, rather than their critical mean

lation between a superior and an
inferior whereby the latter is
placed under the care and control
of the former, and which while it
authorizes the adoption on the part
of the United States of such policy
as their own public interests may
dictate, recognizes. on the other
hand, such an Interpretation Of
their acts and promises as justice
and reason demand in all cases
where power is exerted by the
strong over those to whom they
owe care and protection. The
parties are not on an equal footing,
and that inequality is to be made
good by the superior justice which
looks only to the substance of the
right, without regard to the tech.
meal rules framed under a system
of municipal Jurisprudence, formu
lating the right and obligations of
private persons equally subject to
the same laws"
The idea of the Chippewa In
dams in making that treaty with
the government, as is apparent
from the proceedings was to create
a permanent fund. the income If
which should be used for their
benefit for the period of fifty years.
If Congress can take out from said
principal fund or authorize its
taking, of half million or a mil
lion dollars, from time to time,
for the mere purpose Of reimburs
ing a personal money claim, of
some private person or persons, it
would destroy the whole fund be
fore the expiration Of the stated
fifty year period. Although left
to the discretion of Congress, that
discretion must be exercised fairly
in favor of the carrying out of the
intentions of the parties. Is it
carrying out in good faith the
provisions of the treaty, to Use
this fund so as to deminish and
destroy it, and to which the In
dams look as a source of income
for their civilization and protec'
ton. Tie conclusion follows, that
fund in question, from whence it is
sought to apply the authorization
contained in H. r. 2S76, is trust
fund in the control of the United
States to the credit of the Chippe
wa Indians of Minnesota, and any
expenditure therefrom must be 10

foreseen contingencies that might
arise. Before any part of the
principal sum could be used for
the special purposes indicated, ex
press authorization of Congress is
necessary, and before Congress
can lawfully give that authoriza-
ton it must first find that said
unforeseen contingencies, such as
failure of crops, exist and that it is
necessary on account thereof to
enact the authorization. As no
such condition exists we insist that
Congress has no lawful right to
enact che legislation proposed in
said H. r. 2S76, and that you will
see that it is a measure promptly
to be vetoed. -
With these observations, permit
me on behalf of the Indians for
whom l speak, to state in conclu-
sion, that if your Excellency
should approve this legislation, it
will cause loss of possibly mil
lion dollars to the Chippewa In,
dians, and may in the future be-
come a claim against the govern
ment which will become the basis
Of possible Judgment in favor of
the Chippewa Indians, should they
be allowed to present the matter
to the Court of Claims. Believing
that said legislation is in contra.
vention of the said treaty of 1889,
and not having the sanction of the
Indians, we think it is unconstitu
tional, and we earnestly express
the hope that your veto to said
legislation contained in H. K. 2876
will be forthwith given.

Mr.. T. B. Beaulieu,
White Earth, Minnesota.
My dear MIR. Beaulieu:
This Department is in receipt,
by reference from the White
House, of your letter of April 3,
1924, pertaining to H, r. 2S76 re
lating to the payment of claims of
Chippewa Indians for back annui-
ties.
Consideration has been given to
what you say regarding the effect
of the bill. 1t is not believed that
it would result in reducing the
Chippewa trust fund by a million
dollars as you say, nor is there
anything like seventeen thousand
Chippewa enrolment applications
pending. Furthermore, ne appli.
cations for back annuities as far
back as 1886 as stated in your let
ter could be allowed and paid.
Such claim would ante date the
Act OF January IA, 1889 Us Stat,
L., 642), which created the Chip
pewa trust fund and authorizes
annuity payments.
On the whole, without going
into further particulars, it may be
said that within the last several
years a number of persons have
been enrolled with the Chippewas
of Minnesota, some of whom were
no doubt entitled to share in an.
nuity payments made to the tribe
before their enrolment. H. r.
2S76, should it become law, would
authorize the payment of such
