Macdonald Signs a Treaty

of the most profitable markets Of Brit
ish Capitalism.
The "City" wants the Russian mar
ket for export and investment. 1t has
been trying to get it for the last seven
years. First, by military Intervention
designed to over throw the Soviet
Government and to put in its place
some puppet capitalist proposition
which would willingly sell out Russia
to the capitalist masters of Great
Britain.
In this the "City" failed. The work
ers and peasants of Russia, led by the
Communist Party, and supported by
the revolutionary workers all over
the world stood their ground and COM
PEELED the retreat of British Imperial
ism.
Then they tried to compel submits
sion of the Soviet Government by
means of an economic boycott. Re-
member the infamous Gordon sani-
taire," the iron wall around the Sow
let State, which for months and
months has been strangling and chok-
ing to death the economic life of the
first Workers and Peasants Republic.
But with no avail. The working
men of Russia starved and died but
didn't surrender to the bloodhounds
of Imperialism. Thus MacDonald's
masters had to retreat again. They
retreated slowly and gradually. They
talked peace and waged war, bitter,

this capital is needed, not capitalism,
but capital; means of production.
England possesses that. 1t has the
coal, iron, steel, and chemicals ready
at hand to be used in production. 1t
also has the trained technical man
power. 1t has the organization. But
all this lies dormant, or, almost so,
for lack of markets.
Russia and England need each 9TH
err. Russia is ruled by its working
class. England is ruled ostensibly by
Labor practically by the capitalists.
Now, why shouldn't the workers of
England and Russia strike up an al
lance, pull together the resources of
both countries and shoulder to Shout
der proceed to the building up of So
cialism in their respective countries?
We know why. Because the Labor
Government of England is labor only
in name. Because Macdonald and his
Government are serving the interests
of capitalism and not those of the
workers. In short, because the pres
emit government of England does not
express the aspirations of the English
working class.
The real Labor Government of Eng
land is yet to come.

ing in terms of socialism. 1t is a
good word. Give 'em little more of
it. But remember, it's business pro-
position"
And Macdonald is doing it, even as
well as Curzon would have done it,
and perhaps a little better. Curzon
has served the same masters as Mac
Donald is, bus with other means. Cur
zon has been making war for British
Imperialism. Macdonald is making
peace for British Imperialism. Both
are working substantially toward the
same end.
What We Could Expect.
England's present government is a
Labor" government, isn't it? 1t is
supposed to represent the interests
and aspirations of the working class
of Great Britain. 1t is supposed to
promote those interests. This being
so, what should Macdonald have done
in the matter of Soviet Russia?
Russia possesses enormous mate
rial riches, inexhaustible natural re-
sources. Also an immense amount of
man-power. But these resources are
dormant. To make them serve the
well-being of the masses these re-
sources have got to be developed. For

Yes, yes, it was Macdonald, of
course, not Curzon. We know the
reasons for it, too. Here they are:
Macdonald did it because British I'm
perialism wanted it. The day Mac
Donald announced the recognition of
Russia the "Cityp registered its ap-
proval by a general rise in prices of
bonds, shares and stocks. The city
said in effect:
alright, Mac, go to IT, Fine. You
made good start. Now don't spoil il

all kinds of bunk about proletarian
solidarity, Internationalism, Revolu-
ton, etc. Be on your guard. Remem-

By ALEXANDER BlTTELMAN.

At last, after nearly five months of
bargaining in the interests Of British
Imperialism, Macdonald signed
treaty with the government Of the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republic
GU. S. S. RI We imagine he got as
good a bargain as was possible under
the circumstances. But that's what
it was, that's what he was driving
after-a bargain for his masters, the
capitalists of Great Britain.
Why Do We Kick?
One might ask us a question. One
might approach us saying: Look here,
isn't that what you wanted? Didn't
you say you wanted Macdonald to
recognize Soviet Russia and begin
commercial relations with her, and
now that Macdonald has done it you
again criticize and attack him.
To this we reply. 1t is not the
treaty that we are particularly kick
ing about Nor do we mind very much
the fact that British Imperialism has
been trying to get the best of the Sow
let Government. This is as it should
be. What else could we expect of
one of the most powerful and most
dangerous class enemies of the Inter
national working class? No, we are
perfectly well satisfied that British
Imperialism understands its interests
and knows how to fight for them.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-16

The object of our hatred, opposition
and attack is Macdonald, the Labor
Premier, serving the interests of Brit
ish Imperialism.
And remember: not the person,
Macdonald, not the individual. With
him we have very little concern, but
Macdonald, the head of Labor Gov
eminent betraying the class whom he
is supposed to represent and fighting
in the interests of the class enemies
of the workers-this is the thing we
are concerned with and are fighting
against.
What we demand of Macdonald and
his government is loyalty to the work
ing class, devotion to its interests and
readiness to fight in the cause of la
Dor as against the cause of capital
That is, we demand of him to do
things which are the exact opposite
of the things he is doing now, or else,
abdicate and let true servants and
leaders of the workers take his place.
The Voice of the "cty."
Thru Macdonald always speaks the
voice Of the city" the Wall Street
of Great Britain. The CITY, us badly
in need of new markets. It has been
in this position for quite some time,
in fact, since its victory over German
Imperialism which marked the break
up of the Central-European economic
system and the disappearance of one

nature of these discussions. Thus the
first official pronouncement of the Ma
hatma was made just few weeks
previous to the Ahmedabad session
of the All-India Congress Committee
the supreme executive body of the
Indian National Congress.
This official pronouncement took
the form of simultaneous statement
of policy on the part of Mr.. Gandhi,
for the orthodox Non-Co-operators,
known as the Changers" and of
the two chief leaders of the Swaraj
faction, or Changers" Messrs.
c. R. Das and Mott Lal Nehru. This
statement, which followed a series of
prolonged conversations between the
rival factions within the National
Congress, aroused a great sensation
turnout India. In it, for the first time,
frank difference of opinion was ex-
pressed on the tactics and program
of the national struggle, and an in
ability to arrive at any agreement be-
tween the two schools of thought. Mr..
Gandhi reiterated his faith in the
Constructive Program" which he had
laid down at Bardoi in February of
1922, and which limited the activi-
ties of the National Congress to the,
Charka (spinning wheeD, Khaddar,
(the wearing of homespun cloth, and
social reform activities. such as the
removal of ''untouchability" of the
lower castles, the campaign against
the drink-evil, and village-education
The absolute boycott of government
schools, law courts and legislative
councils was insisted upon, as well
as the boycott of foreign cloth.
To this program, the Swarajists op-
posed their own, which was to enter
the Legislative Councils with the OBJ
ject of carrying on obstruction to gov
eminent measures, until their demand
for Swaraj (self-government) should
be granted. They agreed to carry on
the constructive program of Gan
dhism outside the councils, and to en-
force the boycott of merely British,
as opposed to all foreign cloth. To
these notifications in his program,
statement Of difference was issued to
the country as a means of testing
public opinion before the session of
the All-India Congress Committee in
June, which would have to decide be-
tween the two factions.
1t was the first time that Mr.. Gan
dhis word had been challenged upon
an issue of national Importance. The
gauntlet had been thrown down; the
leadership of the Indian National
movement hung in the balance. Mr..
Gandhi had declared that If his pro-
gram were rejected, he would retire
from politics and devote himself to
social reform. The choice therefore,
was clear and Incorporating. He
further announced that he would sub
nit resolution, declaring that all
persons who did not spin for half
an hour day, and whos did not OBJ
serve the five-fold boycott of LegisIa-
tive Councils, Law-Courts, Govern

mr.. GANDHPS SWAN SONG
BY EVELYN ROY.

That the leadership of the Indian
nationalist movement has passed de-
finitely out Of the hands of Mr.. Gan
dhi and the orthodox school of Non
Cooperation, was proven by the ses-
sion just concluded of the All-Indian
Congress Committee at Ahmedabad.
This is the first official deliberation
in which Mr.. Gandhi has participated
since his release from prison in Janu-
airy of this year, when he was operat-
ed upon for appendicitis, and has
since been undergoing a slow conva-
lescence. The two years which have
interviewed between his arrest and
conviction to six years rigorous i'm
prisonment, have brought many
changes in the program and tactics
of the Indian National Congress. The
Swaraj Party, headed by Mr.. G. r.
Das, of Bengal, succeeded in having
an amendment passed to the Non-Co-
operation Program, permitting those
who desired to take part in the cleo
lions to the Legislative Councils, for
the purpose of carrying on obstruc-
ton to the government. The elections
of 1923 were contested by the Swaraj
Party, which succeeded in capturing
about half the seats in the provincial
and All-India Legislatures. By an
agreement arrived at with the indie
pendent Nationalist, whose demands
are not so extreme as the Swarajists
but who occupy centre position be-
tween the Liberals or Moderates and
the Non-Co-operators, the Swarajists
were able to command small MAORI
ty of votes in the Central Legislatures
and several of the provinces, and to
defeat practically all the government
measures brought before those bodies
for approval. Thus, the center of
gravity of the national struggle has
shifted, during the past six months,
from the orthodox Gandhists to the
Swaraiists, who still claim to be a
part of the Indian National Congress,
formerly entirely controlled by Mr..
Gandhi and his followers.
The release Of the Mahatma from
prison, by an act of grace of the La
Dor Government soon after the latter
assumed Office, was regarded as the
dawn of new era in Indian political
life. The lost leader had returned to
his followers; the INCORPORATION
movement which had fallen into stag
nation since his arrest, would be re-
vived and become once more a power
full revolutionary force, which would
sweep the Swaraj Party into the back
ground of the struggle. Six months
passed without any change in the sit.
uation, due to the feeble health of the
Mahatma, and his desire to acquaint
himself with the details of the situa.
ton, with which he had lost touch
for two years. Private conversations
with the various leaders of the Ma.
tional Congress, representing differ.
ent schools of thought, were held al
Juhu, the little seaside resort where
Mr.. Gandhi was convalescing, but

NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY TEST

The general plan for the defense
test in each state contemplates a
state mobilization committee to be
appointed by the governor and local
mobilization committees to be ap-
pointed direct or through his state
committee. 1t is intended that the
state and local committees shall
represent the state and local agen-
cies which would be used in an emer-
gency in the procurement of man
power under either a voluntary or
selective service system and their
functions in this respect should be
demonstrated in each community by
filling the ranks of the organiza-
lions stationed in the community -
regular army, national guard and or
ganized reserves, the personnel for
which may be secured through invi-
."-tations to civilians of military age
to serve for that day only with spe-
cific units during their participation
in parades or other patriotic demon
STATIONS
In order that the Importance of
the functions of the mobilization may
receive full recognition as repre-!
senting state and local authority, it
is very desirable that they be given
charge of all arrangements for the
ceremonies incident to the occasion. |
They should secure the assistance of
veteran, patriotic, welfare, business
and other civic organizations
The following is given as a sug
gestion to aid in consideration of |
features which may be covered by !
programs will necessarily vary with
local conditions.
(a) Assembly and parade of mill
tary and other organizations
(b) Prayer for our national well
fare
(c) Patriotic music
(d) Address or addresses to COW
er appropriate subjects, such as the
"To provide for the common de-
Tense" feature in the preamble of
the constitution, general principles
of the national defense act, with ,
reference to detailed plans for mo- ,
bilization in that community. ,
The success of the demonstration /,
in each state and community will :
depend largely upon the interest,
support and cooperation on the part
eminent, upon local officials 6
civic organizations.
