The Debt Controversy

1t is becoming clearer every day that France
does not entertain the slightest notion Of taking
immediate steps to liquidate its gigantic debt to
the United States.
This should cause no surprise to any one. We
have been told good deal about the great relief
that the Dawes plan going to work for France.
1t has been our position all the time that the Dawes
plan it its attempt to solve certain capitalist con-
tradctions, has only produced new ones. We have
maintained that the complicated problems arising
out of the terrific war debts incurred mex
tricably interwined with the difficulties in the path
of the realization of the Dawes scheme.
After considerable rumor about the steps that
the French government was preparing to take
towards the refunding of the American debt we
are at last told that France must know how the
Dawes plan is going to work before she can make
definite promises
This simply means that the French government
is confessing its inability to meet the BILL If the
French government could take even the most half
hearted steps towards debt agreement with the
Washington government it would do so, because
such efforts would enhance tremendously the
standing of the franc and the world financial
prestige of the Herriot government Certainly the
Herriot administration can i'll afford not to en-
deavor securing recuperation in this direction.
All the efforts and negotiations in the direction
of iquidating the French debt to Great Britain are
'only maneuvers by the debtor French government
against the creditor governments of Great Britain
and the United States. Imperialist France is
trying to drive better bargain and gain time in
its refusal to pay the war debts by seeking terms
with one creditor as against another. But vic
torious France is in no position economically to
pay the costs of the war.
We wonder what would happen to the so-called
moral fbres of our well-kept editors of the en-
ploying class press if a working class government
would so arrogantly persist in not meeting "obli-
cations duly contracted" We recall the vehement
attacks on the Soviet government merely because
it did not declare its readiness and willingness to
meet the debts incurred by the cars expenditures
of pogroms and militarist reaction.

the instructions of the French ambassador. Sadoul
is threatened with the firing squad, tho now a
citizen of the Soviet Republic and a member of
the Soviet embassy to Paris. Unless the French
workers deter Herriot Sadoul will pay with his life
for his devotion to the working class.
In contradistnction to the campaign of terror
carried on by the liberal Herriot against the Com
mgunists, we have his policy of forgiveness to
Caillaux, Malvy and the pro-kaiser wing of the
French capitalist politicians during the war, who
were arrested, indicted and convicted by the anti
kaiser wing Herriot fights for amnesty for the pro-
kaiserites 1t is jail for the friends of Soviet Rus
sia and deportation for radicals.
Poincare, capitalist tool, labelled reactionary,
did not go so far in prosecuting radical workers
Herriot labelled progressive, did. Poincare could
not get away with it so easily. Herriot no more
than Macdonald, will fail in his efforts to win
more favor in the eyes of big business by out
Heroding Herod.
What is the difference between liberal and a
capitalist? They differ only in their methods. In
periods of calm the liberals use honeyed phrases
and uphold free speech and such things, but when
capitalism is threatened by the workers, they act

Tightening their hold on the industry
and constantly boosting their capitali-

film producers, the largest number of

eompers and the MexIeans.

The other day, before Sam Com
pers turned up his toes, we received
this letter regarding the way the
Mexicans seem to have been int
huenced by Gompers. We assure the
writer that the noise he heard of the
Mexican workers" acclaiming the old
faker, was .anpblicity. The Morones
gang in MelSsso is like the Gompers
gang in the U. S. A., they speak for
labor" which either isn't class con-
scious yet, or which hates their CUTS.
These gangs only get away with it be-
cause the revolutionary left wing in
.he unions either isn't born yet or
is sleeping instead Of fighting. The
letter follows:
"Morgantown, w. Va, Nov. 80.
Editor DAILY WORKER:-On of
the strangest things and something
can't understand is Gompers' in
fiuence over the Mexican working
class after his betrayal of them into
the hands Of the American capitalists.
"The price paid for recognition of
the Mexican government by the United
States, was the oil leases given on the
terms of Doheney. The deal was en-
gineered by Gompers, McAdoo and
Hughes. How the Mexican working
class can support Gompers for his aid
to American capitalists is too much
,or me. just can't understand II
as the facts are so well known.
How he can make out that that
deal was a benefit or advantage to the
Mexican workers is beyond me. can
understand Obregon, Gales, Hughes
McAdoo and the other international
crooks playing the game, but not the
Mexican working class.
II may be wrong, but / feel Sam
Gompers is to find his Waterloo In
Mexico, and his influence to corrupt
the European working man gone for
ever.-Signed: Henry Donderey."

The federal Investigators seem to
be having eye trouble in locating the
Trust" They profess to be fooled
by the large number of names under
which these closely interlocked com
panies masquerade. Yet a single in
stance of the control of the 'first-run"
theatres on Broadway, New York,
where trade tradition demands every
picture must go to establish its
market" is enough to convince any
one except government "investiga-
tor"

film field. Instead Of selling the story
to the trust group Of independents, 4"
calling themselves "Belasco Produc
tions, Inc.," made it into a film not
much worse than the play. Since the
stage original had run on Broadway
successfully there was no reason why
the film should not do the same Even
aside from the good-sized earnings of
these ''irst-runs" on Broadway, it is
absolutely necessary that feature
pictures make their debut here if they
are to have standing in the trade.
And the earnings are not small. 1t

which contain considerable appeal

So every film producer wants a
Broadway first rum" He needs it in
his business. But when Beiasco Pro-
ductions came to Broadway no one
said, Welcome, Stranger" Instead,
it sounded something like, Where do

There is no space at this time to
discuss the use made by the capitalist
class of its control Of this peerless
means Of propaganda. A ruling class
will always make maximum use Of all

American capitalists are. astute enough
to augment their powerful newspa-

with the more subtly appealing, more
effective motion picture. Just as the
answer to the capitalist press is found
in the labor press, so the capitalist
theater must be answered with the la,

with the labor film. Even tho we can

Those well intended political sapheads who

long as he could but was finally forced to take
action by labor, by those elements who are in
terested in trade with Russia and the small in
vestors who hope to get something out of the bill
lions loaned to the czar thru direct negotiations
after recognition
But on the very day that the Soviet ambassador
arrived in Paris, Herriot ordered wholesale ar
rests Of Communists. He removed the Communist
mayor Of French town because he was strike
leader. He ordered the Imprisonment Of Jacques
Sadoul, ex-French naval officer, who was sentenced
to death by court martial for having refused to
