labor movement.
What is there new? This, that the
Amsterdam international is beginning
to fall to pieces, that in the English
labor movement an extremely impor-
tant process is beginning.

cial democrats. But that they are
there, is a very important thing. We
must understand that, otherwise we
shall create no proletarian mass
movement in England, and also not
accomplish the proletarian revolution.
There is now proposal being made
to the Russian trade union movement.
Now l ask, has this question any sig.
nifcance, il only for Russia and Eng
land? Yes, and that very great one.
The answer which the trade unions
give here in Moscow, will have great
consequences in London.
How ought we, then, to answer?
We must answer as the standpoint of
the whole international demands.
There are people who think that we
are guided here by some or other
diplomatic considerations. That is
nonsense. Macdonald and his guards
are afraid as of the devil, Of the
English movement approaching us. If
it says in the German memorandum
that this approach will hinder US in
the modifying of the masses against
the experts report, that is such holy
innocence that cannot even find any
objections against it. Quite the con.
trary, Comrade Heckert. You who
have collected so great a parliament
tary experience in Saxony (amuse-
ment) should not expose such holy
NATIVITY. Do you really think that Mac
Donald or Grassman or the "Vor-
warts" sincerely believe in an alliance
between us? That will be such an al
lance as will lose these gentlemen a
good half of their electors.
On the contrary The first question
which we should put these gentlemen
would be the following: Nov, gen.

meeting that would make it difficult
to believe that it was not a republican
or democratic campaign meeting. The
speakers. the majority of whom were
rich lawyers, the phrases, the entire
atmosphere, was bourgeois. Bankers,
business men, lawyers and old women
of the Peace Party occupied the plat
form seats and contributed to the col
lection, while in the audience a few
bankrupt business men, insurance
agents, who are also members of the
Socialist Party, together with profess
sional cheerers, tried to make as much
noise as possible.
On the platform sat former pres

he made that the entire show was too
much even for him. But he should
not be discouraged. Time heals all

randum on the marriage" I believe
that this episode must be absolutely
wound up. / am not afraid that that
will injure the German party. That
is an illusion. The moment we really
spread the watchword Of unity in the
trade unions among the masses, it will
be much more difficult for the social
democrats to carry on such a shame
less fight against you, as they now do.
If only the question can be put really
internationally.
Only on one point do agree with
our German comrades, and that is
that the question is not sufficiently
prepared, and that one cannot get it
thru the masses in a few weeks.
There they are right. The matter
really must be prepared. We may
not create a unified front only from
above. That we have already seen,
we must carry on campaign of
preparation for months among the
masses. If the German comrades are
with us in that, every difference dis
appears at once. 1t must certainly be
decided that we prepare the ground
among the masses, that we should or.
ganize propaganda on an international
scale for unity in the unions, that we
should now call meetings turnout the
world, prepare the ground, and only
then begin negotiations. There is no
hurry. But we must not forget there
is something new here. For that rea-
son we are here, for that reason we
are leaders, for that reason we wish
to be leaders, to see things already
in the germ. After two years every
duffer will understand it. But the
tendency is already clear, we must
already undertake something new.
We will prepare the ground, we will
go to the masses, with the watchword
of unity. We have nothing to fear
Should our enemies shut us out, we
will answer with mass campaign for
unity in the unions, in England, in
Germany, in France, in the whole
world.
In the memorandum It says the
workers have a certain distrust for a
maneuver-policy which gives no i'm
mediate results. That is not true.
The workers are not children. They
know that the class war is a war
which needs strategy. The workers
understand that very well. give only

BIDDLEFoRD-SACo, Me-, Sept. IL.
Textile mills in the twin cities of
Biddleford and Saco on the Saco river,
which normally employ UP to 5000
workers, have been practically idle
the past year. The Saco-Lowell Tex

men in place of the normal 1000.
The Pepperell Mfg. Co., keeps its
cotton goods plant running only three
days a week. Across the river the
huge York Bingham mills run three

Miners union
ISSUES APPEAL
FOR CHILDREN
No Education for Min
ers' Children this Fall
BY ROSS WHITE
Especial to Tho Daily Worker)

SESSER, ILL.,, Sept. H.
Winter is now close at hand and
with the mines having been
shut down here for almost a
year the miners families are
not only hungry but they can
not send their children to school
due to lack of clothing.
To meet this situation a COM
mittee has been appointed from
each local union to get together
and work out a plan for supply
ing clothing to the miners
children of Illinois. The child
rem must not be deprived of an
opportunity to attend school
this term.
We make our appeal to the readers
of the DAILY WORKER who have
been following Karl Reeves articles,
depicting the restitution that exists in
the mining towns because of the
months and months of unemployment.
No Wages for Many Months.
You know that the miners of Sesser
have been out of work for many
months and that some of them have
had their salaries withheld for many
months even while they were working.
You know that the stores have been
forced to shut down because they
have given credit to the miners until
they no longer could continue. You
know that the miners have left for
other parts of the country seeking en-
ployment but have returned after
months Of searching in vain. You
know that the families of the miners
are hungry. Now they are going to
be clotheless and cold. We appeal to
you for the children.
Send Packages to Ross White.
We need all kinds of clothing for
children from the age of and over.
Send any clothing that can stand a
little more wear and is of no use to
you to Ross White, Sesser, Ill.
Anything you will send will be ap-
preciated by the miners families of
Sesser, ILL.,, for whom this appeal is
being made.

School Backwardness
In Texas Is Charged
To Absent Landlords
(By Federated Press.)

WICHITA FALLS. Tex, Sept. H.
Absentee landlordism was blamed for
the backwardness of the schools in
many Texas counties by Prof w. L.
Hughes of the A. & NJ. college in ad-
dressing the Northwest Texas Teach
ers' institute here
He declared that there was plenty
Of money to be had for rural schools
if the people would only increase
their tax rate. There is a certain
black land county" he said, which is
one of the richest agricultural sections
in the world, yet which has an aver
age attendance at its rural schools Of
only ninety-five days per year."

a small example. Everyone who
knows the psychology Of the present
day Russian worker knows that our
policy enjoys a popularity in no
region SO great as in the region Of our
foreign policy, that is just there
where we are maneuvering against
the enemy. The masses like that.
They say to themselves: Our party
can maneuver, it can trick the enemy
and so defend our interests. l think
1t is also the same in Germany. It
often happens that the leaders try to
put their mistakes on to the masses.
The masses very well understand our
policy against the anti-reVolutionar
leaders of German social democracy.
We must reckon internationally
with Schuhmacherism. Our policy
must now consist in an energetic
winding up of Schuhmacherism, not
only in the German party but also in
the whole international There are
great impediments. The bourgeoisie
is still strong. 1t will surely break to
pieces but it's present collapse must
not be exaggerated in order not to
create Illusions. The matter is not
so simple. The bourgeoisie is
stronger than we, it will collapse, we
shall defeat it if we make no stupid
mistakes. But the greatest danger
for the German party today is in un-
dervaluing the strength Of the bour-
geoisie and of the social democrats.
We understand the revolutionary
feelings, the psychology of the Ger
man workers. Without them there
would be no Communist international.
But that is not enuf. We must be real
disciples of Lenin, we must see the
strength and the cunning of the Ger.
man bourgeoisie and not undervalue
them.
Well, enuf of Schuhmacherism, ma
tionally and internationally. We are
considering certain steps with regard
to the Amsterdamers, but we will not
say that must lead to marriage" with
them. We do not challenge you to an
extreme right" course, as comrade
Bordiga said, But we challenge you
to go forward against the bands of
the bourgeois lackeys, to the winning
of the majority in the trade unions,
not only nationally, but also interna-
tionally. Oong and tempestuous ap-
plause.)

AUSTRALIAN BANK
SYSTEM ON VERGE
OF FALLING DOWN
Appeal Frantically to
Govt. for Relief
ax w. FRANcls AHERN

(star Correspondent OF The Fed. Press)
SYDNEY, New South Wales, Sept.
II. - Financially, Australia is nearer
a serious crisis today than it has been
since the big bank smash in 1893. An
initiation boom started during the war,
has resulted in the extension of paper
credit to such an extent that private
finance is no longer in a stable con-
dition. Instead of a reserve of 33 per
cent of real money against loans made
by private banks, there is not even
20 per cent.
To re-establish its stability private
finance would have to call in millions
of credits. But this would cause eco
nomic chaos on a wholesale scale. To
allow the present condition to con-
tinue means that the private banking
system must gradually totter.
Ask Federal Aid.
To prevent a crash the private
banks demand that the federal gov
eminent in Australia shall see them
thru their difficulties. A bill was
rushed thru the federal parliament to
allow the Commonwealth Bank owned
by the nation. and founded by a
previous Labor government to prop
up the shaky edifce Of the private
banking system.
Today the total real currency in
coin and bullion in Australia is $780,
100000 or about s5O,OOO,OO0 more than
before the war. Yet upon that addi-
tional S50000,000 legal currency, the
private financiers have issued a loan
to the extent of s73O, O00,0 900. Against
the total loans issued by the banks
at the present time-$1, $40 900, 0OO-
there is a legal reserve of only $780,
100000.
Finances lettering.
Private finance in Australia is tot
tering because it is carrying a paper
credit that is bankrupt to the extent
Of S600,000,000. 1t is to stabilize this
huge amount, which is without real
financial backing that the Australian
federal government is throwing the
government-owned bank behind the
private banking system.

Something New In the English
Trade Union Movement.

We are asked what there is new
in England. The left wing is new,
which is of course no left wing: that
is only delusion.
Think of it, comrades, England is
the land with the most developed la.
Dor movement. Wynkoop was per-
fectly right when he said that the
English labor movement was in this
sense the decisive one. In England
a new chapter is beginning in the la.
Dor movement. We do not know ex.
actly where the mass Communist
party in England is to come from
whether it is to come from the door
of Stewart, MacManus, or thru an
other door, And it is very possible,
comrades, that the mass party will
come thru another door perhaps, we
must not forget that.
What is now happening in England
is of no less historic Importance than
the events in other lands.
l have already said to the German
comrades: at is quite natural, that
we all cling to our own party, our own
organization. l also cling to Lenin.
grad. other comrades bring examples
from Ludwigshafen, and Hamburg.
Comrades, we have all a great respect
for Ludwigshafen, Hamburg and Len
ingrad, but 1 must say openly that
London also has its significance and
a not less one than the above men
toned towns.
What is now happening in England
is of worldwide historic importance
If we are not blind we must see that.
Otherwise we would have to found a
German-Russian, or only continental
We founded something
quite different, however, we founded
a world international, a world party.

on the trade union question at the
Fifth Congress Of the Communist
International, he deals with the lat
est developments in the Amsterdam
International, forecasting the move
which was later made of proposing
world congress which should
unite the trade union movement.
zinoviev makes it clear that this
stand for unity at all costs is far
removed from any capitulation be-
fore the agents of capitalism; that
unity of the trade unions is one Of
the most powerful weapons for the
revolution, and he closes with the
words: I'VE do not challenge you
