aimed against the dem0ralizing IN
fiuence of the labor bureaucracy.
The American proletariat number
ing many millions, is not yet suffi-
GENTLY strong and class conscious to
overthrow the mightiest capitalist
system in the world and to drive out
its agents; however, among the
working class of America there is a
sufficient number Of class conscious
men who took up the great histori-
cal cause, and this marks a tremen-
dous forward step towards the
emancipation Of oppressed humanity.
An Advanced Step.
The revolutionary workers of
America are now publishing a daily
militant revolutionary organize
DAILY WORKER. Heretofore the
printing presses of the United States
have been serving the interests of
capital, filing the minds Of the
working masses with the capitalist
opium. The press at the present
time is one Of the mightiest weap-
ons for the enslavement Of the work
ing class. The contemporary capt.
talist press, like a street woman,
sells herself at every street corner.
The kept press Of the United States,
serving the financial and industrial
sharks, is model Of corruption and
graft. Our French comrades claim
that the capitalist press Of France
is the most mercenary press in the
world. The British Communists hold
the same opinion Of their capitalist
press. No doubt the American Com
munists will claim priority for the
press Of their country, in the matter
Of corruption.
1t is not easy to say which Of the
bourgeois press. the French, British,
American, German or Italian is more
corrupt, and has broken the worlo

The Struggle Against Fascism In America

DAILY WORKER, which is the
standard bearer Of the revolutionary
part Of the American proletariat, be-
come a ringing call for the battle to
the mighty proletariat Of the United
States of America, which is still
tied hand and foot. Let all the fakirs
Of the pen and the scoundrels of the
press attack you, let all the Gompers
Wallets viciously SANDER you, they
cannot stop the approaching revolu-
ton any more than they can stop the
earth from revolving around its axis.
The social revolution is upon us and
few years sooner or a few years
later, it viii conquer the entire
world.

same period, we exported to Japan,
363,668 long tons of steel. The de-
mand for steel by Japan will un-
questionably increase steadily until
the reconstruction requirements are
met.
The United States supplies Japan
commodities more than twice as much
in value as any other country-31
per cent of Japan's 1922 Imports
were from the United State6. Raw
cotton, machinery, lumber, iron bars,
rods and plates, kerosene and con-
struction material were purchased by
Japan in the last fiscal year to the
extent of more than 5000, 900, 900.
Automobiles, leather, iron tubes,
paper and paper pulp, railroad equip
ment, nails and lead, ETC., were pur-
chased by Japanese agencies in the
United States last year to the extent
Of about $1O0,OO0,000.
American capitalists are also max
ing heavy investments in Japan. At
the close of last year, there was or
ganized a powerful Japanese-Ameri-
can Construction Company of Toxic.
This corporation, known as the Jap
anese-A American Engineers & Con-
tracing Corporation" is capitalized
at $5O,O00,000, is to be financed and
controlled jointly by American and
japanese interests, and is to establish
branches in other parts of Japan as
conditions demand. Thru the or
ganization of this company American
capitalists have assured themselves
the role of the dominant group in the
reconstruction of Japan.
Recent months have also seen
American electrical interests secure
strangle-hold on the Japanese cleo
trio industry. The Toxic Electric
Company is the largest corporation
of this character in Japan. 1t is capt.
talized at 100000 and has re-
Gently absorbed nine competing COM
panies. This concern has just formed
a combination with the Westinghouse
Electric Company Of America. Like
wise. the General Electric Company
has concluded combination with the
Shibaura Electric Works; the West
ern Electric Company has formed
combination with the Nippon Dento
Electric Works. The American IN
terests are vitality concerned with the
tremendous possibilities afforded
them to reap fabulous profits IN the
electrifcation Of Japanese railways
The hand Of American capital is
also suspected in the recently an
nounced union Of -four mill com
panies in Japan. Thru this merger
six of the biggest companies with 4
combined daily producing capacity
of close to twenty thousand barrels
united. This corporation is now
planning to swallow up fifteen small
er companies and organize itself init
a national federation.

ZinVviev, at the Congress of Scien-
tific Workers of Russia.

At this Congress which, I am sure,
will mark an important date in the
history Of our revolution and of our
intellectual class, you will form your
ranks in order to set yourselves with
ardor and devotion to the task of re-
constructing our country. We want
to give a place Of honor in the fam
lily of peoples to our Russia which
has groaned for such a long time
under the yoke Of autocracy and
which was ruined, set on fire, and its
blood spilled under the rule of the
capitalist class. We will see to it
that there shall be no more illiterates;
we will create vast network Of in
stitutions Of instruction; we will lead
upon the broad road Of the future
our great people which was a century
late in its bourgeois revolution, but
which, by a combination Of fortunate
circumstances has been the first to
make its proletarian revolution, and
we will help it to occupy in the world
the place which it deserves.

Our capitalists are beating new

The recent loan to Japan, not so
much because Of its size, but rather
on account Of its terms and intent. is
a milepost in the development of the
American capitalist imperialist en-
pire.
A Gigantic Loan.
When such guiding forces in
American financial and industrial life
as ]. P. Morgan & Co., Kuhn, Loeb

First National Bank of New York,
Brown Bros. & Co. of Philadelphia,
Lee, Higginson & Co., the Mechanics

Bankers & Equitable Trust Com
panies of New York get together
with more than dozen other big
banking firms to float loan of $780,
100000 it is an event of extraordi-
nary significance in the development
of American commercial supremacy.
The new $15O,00O,000 Japanese
government loan is the largest long
term foreign loan foated in the
United States since the Armistice.
In view Of the high credit of Japan,
the general improvement in the field
of investment, and the easier money
tendency in the market, the price of
these bonds is regarded in banking
circles as a highly generous figure
a sure sign that original purchasers
will profit by market appreciation.
Since the Armistice, November IL,
1918, European loans to the extent
Of S1,146, 100000 have been fioated
in the United States. Perhaps no
better proof is to be offered of
Americas becoming the leading cred
itor nation of the world than that of
this gigantic sum only $108,02O, 900
has been paid. The balance is still
outstanding. An examination of the
European government and municipal
loans made by American bankers
since the Armistice, shows that Aus
tria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia. Fin
land, France, Italy, Netherlands,
Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and
Great Britain have borrowed heavily

1t is especially important to note
that tho England gave the Imperial
Japanese government better terms

EHect on Japan.

The steady encroachments of
American capital on Japanese re-
sources and the growing dependence
Of Japan on the American market
spell events of intense complication
and danger in the future relations be-
tween the two countries.
Japan is today in the throes of a
serious political upheaval rocking the
very foundations of the government.
There is a gigantic struggle. now GO
ing on in Japan for increased popu-
lar participation in the government.
Besides, the country is involved in a
severe economic crisis, because of the
great losses suffered thru the earth
quake and fire. The people are hold
ing almost continuous mass meetings
in the ruins of Toxic, demanding
greater characterization of the gov
eminent.
The Germs of New Wars.
The establishment of American i'm
lperialist hegemony in the Pacific is
menace to the peace and security
of the working masses of the United
States. The bonds bearing interest
to be received by the bankers of
Wall Street also bear the germs Of
new devastating wars.
American commerce with the ORR
entail countries is now three times
what it was decade ago. Our trade
with the Far-East accounts for al
ssost 25 per cent of our total foreign
commerce. In the last year alone,
we increased our trade with the coun-
tries of the Orient by Is per cent.
But Europe is swiftly recovering
its poise in the conflict for CONNER
cial supremacy in this theatre of
world capitalism. According to the
Department of Commerce reports Of
January 81, 1924, Europe is gradu-
ally regaining its trade with the Far
East. The government, in its anxiety
to help American capitalists maintain
their advantages they won during the
war, is planning to organize cam
paign of propaganda to win over the
working masses of this country to the
necessity of protecting the Far-East-
ern markets against foreign COMPETE
tors. The slogan of our imperialist
government is american must be SUI
preme in the Pacific" Before the
war, the German capitalists had as
their battle cry, eve must drive to
the Near Cast" Today the Ameri-
can imperiaIists have as theih war cry,
eve must drive to the Far-East." In
view of the collapse Of the European
market American bankers and manu-
facturers are more and more concen-
trating their efforts at world supre-
macy in the Latin American and Far
Eastern spheres of influence and
markets.

The money is to be spent mainly
ITO purchase materials and supplies
for Che reconstruction neceSsitated
by the earthquake and fire of 1923"
only small portion Of this big loan
is to be employed to cover bonds
about to mature. The governments
reconstruction program provides for
an expenditure of about 500, 00O,-
600. OF this sum, no less thar $780,
100000 will be spent to purchase ma
terials outside Of Japan.
Significance of the Deal.
In sense the terms Of the loan
indicate highly important departure
from the customary procedure
characterizing American banking
methods.
1t has been the practice of Eng
land to make loans on the basis of
the borrowed money being expended
by the debtor nation in the purchase
of commodities manufactured in Bri-
fish territory. BY this method Bri-
fish bankers and industrialists have
for a long time been tremendously
aided in maintaining their role as the
rulers of world finance and manu-
featuring.
Several months ago, there was
campaign to float an Indian loan in
London. A motion was formally
made in Parliament that at least rs
per cent of this loan is to be spent
in England. The motion was defeat
ed simply because it was pointed out
that there is no need of such action
since experience has shown that in
the past at least 95 per cent of the
money from British bankers bor-
rowed by India was voluntarily spent
in English markets.
America and Japan.
Not many people realize the extent
to which Japan's economic relations
are bound up with the United States.
Forty-five per cent of the exports of
Japan go to the United States. Amer
lea is by far Japan's best customer.
China, which is second, takes only
"a per cent of the japanese exports.
Great Britain takes only per cent.
Of the five commodities exported by
Japan to the United States and ac-
counting for sixty-six per cent of our
imports from Japan, raw silk ranks
first. Ninety per cent of japanese
raw silk is sold to the United States.
This means that SO per cent of the
entire Japanese export trade is pro-
vided for by shipments of raw silk
to American manufacturers. The
United States purchases a third of
Japanese pottery and 80 per cent of
its tea. For the fiscal year ending
June, 1923, we exported to Japan
commodities valued at $213,000, 00C
and imported from Japan commodi.
tiles valued at 1912, 100000. In the

national Of Labor Unions.
~ NE of the most important tasks
~ Of the Workers Party Of Amer
lea and of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League is the struggle against
their own native Fascism. There are
some people who think that Fascism
in America is represented only by
the Ku Klux Khan and the American
Legion; in reality, however, Ameri-
can Fascism possesses something
much more important-the Gompers
machine.
Powerful American capitalism has
in the official trade union machine the
best weapon for their rule. The al
mighty dollar has long since subdued
the labor bureaucracy, buying their
various Representatives just as pigs
are bought in the Chicago stock
yards. The tragedy is not in the fact
that there are mercenary, thoroly
corrupted LEADERSHIP tragedy is
that there are considerable masses
of workers who still follow these
deflers Of the proletarian temple.
Jack London's Picture.
In the Iron Heel, Jack London gave
a splendid picture Of the corrupt
ness and power Of this labor TO-
reaucracy, backed by the privileged
groups Of workers. However. Jack
London over-estimated the power Of
capital, and its agents, and under
estimated the dormant forces of the
working class. What transpires now
IN America is the emancipation from
the theology and practices of Com
pers. The creation and consolidation
Of the Communist Party, the steady
growth of the Trade Union Educa-
tional League, these are directly
