AS WE SEE 1T

While the Communists in the Ger
man Reichstag sang "The information
ale" the Socialists and the Fascist
roared out Deutschland Uber Allies"
The session which was to pave the
way for the Dawes slave plan, ended
in an uproar. When the presiding
officer-a Socialist-could not stop the
noise, he put on his silk hat and
walked out Socialists in Germany line
up with the Fascist. That is, the So
cialist leaders and the less class-con-
scious Of their followers. In England
ex-premier Asquith praises Philip
Snowdens budget. A good labor
budget that will satisfy capital and
labor. The only worth while opposi-
ton to the capitalists everywhere is
now carried on by the Communists.
The Socialists in every country are
the betrayers of the workers.
Morris HillQuit said there was no
difference between the progressive
capitalists in congress and the Social
lists. Now, there is less than ever.
La Toilette took hand at denounc-
ing the Communists because of their
energy in pushing the June II conven-
ton in st. Paul, Minnesota, in the d.
rection Of organizing a class party,
representative of the interests of the
exploited farmers and workers and not
merely jumping-off board for some
ambitious capitalist politician. The
Communists do not depend on individ-
uals who wish to play the role of
Moses leading the children of Israel
out Of the capitalist Egypt. They be-
lieve in organizing the workers to free
themselves.
The editor of the Locomotive En-
gineers' Journal arrives at the pro-
found conclusion that even if La Fol-
lette is not elected, the workers still
have chance Of CHOOSING BE-
TWEEN THE REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES thru
their balance of power in the house"
What a splendid opportunity? 1t
seems they have had that opportunity
for several decades and don't seem to
be particularly satisfied. Mr.. Warren
S. Stones employee also says that If
the Magnus Johnson and Shipstead
forces in Minnesota control the June
II convention, the Cleveland and st.
Paul conferences may serve as the
twin pillars to La Follette's political
arch of triumph. While the c. P. P.
A. does not know what it wants, La
Toilette may be able to advise it, pro-
vided Of course. the labor leaders who
are watching it-not pushing twill
not make a satisfactory agreement
with the capitalist parties.
Victor Berger published the editori-
raj from the Locomotive Engineers
Journal in his paper and comes to the
conclusion that only if the reactionary
Communist and Gompers machines
are eliminated from both conference
will the situation be hopeful Other
wise, the La Toilette edition of the
1912 Bull Moose revolt would start out
with the germs of an incurable dis
ease in its system. Well, Berger is
even more incurably sick than his
worst enemies thot. If, as La Toilette
says, the capitalist parties don't take
a physic and purge themselves of the
evil within them, Berger will have an
opportunity to offer himself as a pill
on the altar of patriotism. The CAPT
talists are welcome to him.
The state of Texas is sending a
strong Khan delegation to the Demo-
cratic convention pledged to vote for
McAdoo for the Democratic nominal
ton for president. In order to coun-
terbalance the anti Catholic Khan sup
port Senator Phelan of California, a
prominent Catholic and oil expert will
place the name of McAdoo in nominal
ton. This is expected to soothe the
feelings of Catholic delegates that
may be ruffled by the presence Of the
Kluxers. 1t is rather appropriate that
Phelan should nominate the man who
received a $4,000 retainer from Do
heny. He nominated Doheny for the
vice-presidential race at the 1920
Democratic convention. Senator Phe-
Ian is one of the most reactionary cap
Litalists on the coast, yet McAdoo, the (
"friend of labor" is not too radical fob
him. Nice gentleman is McAdoo.
