Capitalist Lackey.

Here we have in extenso the Mac
Donald creed and in it there is no
expression of faith or hope in the
working class. 1t is the impartial
state where good men rule because Of
their goodness that this man, upon
whom the socialists of the world have
heaped encomiums, visualizes; he
wants government according to
law" and laws that matter-those af-
fecting property rights and the con-
troll of the lives of the workers be-
cause of them-are property rights.
Any change in these laws the Mac
Donaldites have already abjured;
they must, therefore, protect the very
basis of capitalism and they will.
Even the mild reform of capital
levy is repudiated by Macdonald with
something approaching holy horror
altho the British working class voted
for it. Expressions of the popular
will can be disregarded safely, even
by apostles of democracy, when their
consummation would ALLEVIATE the real
rulers-the big capitalists and the
cockroach substrata.
Speaking of the capital levy Mac
Donald says:
1t is impossible even If we were
so inclined, without Liberal sup
port. Furthermore, we are not at
all certain that capital levy is at
present the best for the country.
1t would put us upon a sound 6nan-
cial basis. But the danger to the
economic world of such a sudden
change in economic policy necessi-
tates careful thought before it is
attempted.
"The economic world" that would
be endangered by carrying out the
pledges made to the British working
class before election is the economic
world Of the British capitalist class
and if you have read the above eX-
hibits of MacDonaldism you know al
ready that the group for which he
speaks have no intention of even re-
modelling extensively the structure of
British capitalism.
Only such measures will be urged
as will make no serious inroads upon
the control of industry and finance by
the exploiters of the workers.
In the Macdonald cabinet are many
Representatives of the old British Off
cial caste, the landed aristocracy and
the financiers-the Haldanes, Chelms-
fords, Thomsons, Oliviers, etc. Their
policies are the historical imperialistic
policies of Great Britain altho at
present covered with liberal camou-
fiage and under the Macdonald gov
eminent the colonial peoples are en-
shaved as they always have been;
with the additional insult that the
Curzon policy Of giving them reac-
tionary nationalist governments as
more efficient instruments of oppres-
sion is being followed.
Arresting Strikers.
At the same time that Macdonald
breathes wishes of peace on earth and
goodwill to men and sends a message
of congratulation to that tool of Bri-
fish imperialism, the Egyptian ma
tional government, sixteen members
Of the Communist party of Egypt
have been arrested for taking an ac-
tive part in the strikes of the under

Y. w. L. Anti War MEETING

The Anti-War mass meeting to be held
Sunday, at 2733 Hirsch Boulevard. should be
attended by everyone who wants to under
stand the Communist position and particularly
the Young Communist position on capitalist
war.
1t is the young workers and students who
are the first to be conscrpted for imperialist
warfare and the recent publicity given to anti
war movements among the youth of the United
States is evidence of the hatred with which the
capitalists and their press regard ANYTHING
that tends to diminish the enthusiasm of tho
youth for being slaughtered for interest and
dividends.
The Young Workers League, thru its activ-
lty among the youth, has succeeded in getting
under the hides of the war-mongers The
meeting Sunday is under their auspices and
they can be depended upon to make it inter-
esting.

The British working class is not
quite so naive as the American So

the class struggle.
Encouraged by the spinelessness of
