a.err.os, millionaire socialisc mayor OF
Lyons, and one of Frances leading
business men, is the likeIiest successor
to Poincare. He has gone to the
south of France, the Palm Beach of
French politicians.
The socialists are tanning the air
with doubts as to whether they shall
enter a coalition cabinet or not. This
is only bluff in order to make good
bargain. AS a matter Of fact, they
are itching for Office and will surren-
der anything except their salaries in
order to get there.
Foreign Policy to Suffer.
The foreign and domestic policy of
the new regime promises to differ rad
ically from that of Poincare in GER
tain important features. The evacu-
alton of the Ruhr hinges on Ger
many's acceptance of the Dawes plan
and also perhaps, on the willingness
Of the bankers to grant the necessary
loans in the face of Poincare's defeat
who was the White Hope of the
House of Morgan.
The recognition of Soviet Russia lie
practically assured when the new gov
eminent takes office. The procedure
followed will be recognition first, and
business afterwards. In other words,
MacDonald's policy toward the Soviet
Republic will be taken as model
One of the most important results
of the recent elections was the stun
ming defeats received by the Cath
Ollie church in France. 1t is reported
on good authority that the French en-
bassy at the Vatican will be abolished
and the bonds between the church
and the state resumed under the Poin-
care regime will be broken. Poincare
and many Of the big chiefs Of the war
period were Catholics and the willing
tools Of the heavy industrialists.
Small Nations Hard Hit.
The small nations that were sup
ported in their ambitious plans for
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and imperialist ex-
pansion, are hard hit by the new turn
Of affairs. Poland had already seen
the handwriting on the wall and was
feeling out Moscow for better rela-
tions between the two countries. But
Roumania was caught more or less of
its guard and will now be left holding
the bag. The presence Of heavy Red
troop formations on the Bessarabian
frontier does not add to the peace Of
mind OF the Roumanian reactionarias.

Machine sabotaqes Howat.


PEORIA, ILL.,. May 15.-The clash
between the rights and lefts began
with substitute offered by the Reso-
luton Committee covering fifteen res
olutions condemning the tactics and
dictatorship used by the international
officers at the last international con-
vention in the Howat case and asking
for a special convention to give Howat
a fair trial.
The substitute condemned the Kan
sas court law, declared the right Of
trial by jury of every labor man for
any alleged offense, but it ignored all
other points. A motion was made to
have substitute printed and placed in
the hands of the delegates before ac-
ton. Harrington said that that pro-
cedure had never been followed and
on account of expense, should not be
followed now. None of the sponsors
of the substitute even mentioned Ho-
watts name, altho if adopted, it would
have denied him the right to appeal
his case to a special convention.
Thompson Protests.
All of them suddenly became eco
nomical Those in favor of having
the substitute printed, and there were
many, pointed out its misleading ma
ture and that it failed to touch the
subject matter of the various resolu-
tions. Delegate Thompson summed
up the case of those opposed to the
committees report. He stated that
the convention had invited Howat to
speak and now the resolutions com
mittee wanted to dispose Of his appeal
for special convention before Howat
had a chance to state his case.
The only way the machine could
stave off defeat was to offer a substi.
tute motion that the convention take
up all resolutions where the commit
tee offered no substitute until the sub
stitutes could be printed. This is what
was wanted and was unanimously
adopted. The resolutions were dis.
tributed to the delegates on the re.
quest OF John Hindmarsh just few
minutes before the committee started
its report.
Hit Use OF Enemy Press.
A heated argument came on resolu
ton number 5, condemning the tao
tics OF international organizers for
printing malicious and false state
ments in the capitalists press about
sub-district number fve's special con
vention. This attack narrowed dowr
to one Ben Williams, an international
organizer. The committee moved that

was hurriedly carried thru without
discussion, Harrington stating that

did not see any one on the floor.

was uengnJeu 70 see lnaJ ola antagon-
isms within the labor movement were
being overcome. For now Hillquit
and Cahan, chief representatives of
Socialism, were ready to take Comp
ers into their midst, and with the GUST
ing of all 'disrupters" from the or
ganization all was tranquil in the hap
by family.
Here was a signal indication of the
state to which the Socialist movement
has degenerated. The significance of
the international convention lies not
only in the disclosures of the utter
incompetency of the Sigfnan admins
tration and its ruthlessness in crush
ing opposition to it's policies, but also
in its striking demonstration of the
complete collapse of Socialism.
No Message of Solidarity.
All the high priests of the Socialist
party have addressed the convention
Hillquit, Cahan, Panker, London, etc.
With little exception their speeches
have been mere outpourings of shall
low oratory, bearing no relation to the
bitter struggles of the working masses
in this and other countries. They
have brought no message of solidarity,
have issued no call for a militant, ag-
gressive struggle against capitalist OPP
preston. Instead, they have made the
convention platform their rostrum for
attacks upon the '1efts." Appealing
to the delegates in beautiful words for
greater idealism, they have applauded
the action of the same convention in
busting from its midst earnest mill
tants who have proven their idealism
by innumerable acts OF devotion to
their union and by their courageous
battle for the class interests of the
workers in their industry.
Ignore Vital Problems.
The convention of the international
has been in session nine days, and as
yet none OF the pressing problems
confronting the workers in the ladies'
garment industry has been taken up.
The order of business thus far has
consisted in speeches and the unseat-
ing of delegates, rounded out with
banquets, dances and concerts. Tho
the international stands before a gen.
eral strike, tho the next year will be
crucial test for the organization, no
question Of any consequence to the
workers in the industry has yet been
considered.
That this procedure will still fur
Their destroy the confidence OF the
membership of the international in
their leadership cannot be doubted. AL
ready there are indications to show
that the workers in the shops who are
concerned with the struggle against
the bosses which confronts them daily
in increasingly bitter form, are
aroused over the acts of the Sigman
dictatorship.

ing reported on by the committee on
law are aimed at the left wing mill
tants. The oficialdom is making ev-
cry possible effort to stop up any loop
holes thru which the active opposition
can climb thru and disturb the official
equilibrium.
Amendments Against Expelled.
The convention adopted an amend
ment yesterday which provides that
expelled or suspended members shall
not be eligible as delegates to the con-
vention, but made no qualification as
to the possible reinstatement of these
members affecting their eligibility.
The president of the international
is given power, in another amendment
which passed, to call meetings of To-
cal unions at his pleasure, take over
the chair, and otherwise conduct the
meeting. This gives the president the
constitutional right to determine, by
his authority as chairman, the char
acter and actions of local unions
membership meetings.
Little discussion is permitted on any
of these amendments, and all criti-
cism is overridden by the administra-
tion machine. More amendments of
vital significance to the union mem
bers are yet to be taken up.

Show Socialist Hanruptcy.

BOSTON, Mass.-(By MaiD.-The
bankruptcy Of the Socialist movement
was forcibly demonstrated at yester-
days session of the international con-
vention by Meyer London, Socialist
ex-congressman. In a shallow, emo
tional address, London tried to stir
the delegates enthusiasm for vague
sort of progress and a wagner better
world. But not once during his half
hours talk did London concern him
self with the tremendous problems
confronting the labor movement; not
once did he bring forth a class issue
or make a class appeal.
Silent ON the enemies OF labor, the
open shoppers and oilsmeared gov
eminent, London sneeringly attacked
the militant left wing elements in the
international. That was the message
brought by a prominent Socialist
leader to the convention OF an inter-
national unon once regarded as one
OF the most revolutionary organiza-
tons in the country.
