The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-09-06

AS WE SEE 1T
BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

THE American capitalist govern
l ment has decided to give the
Pershing defense plan test on Sept.
IL. On that day the militarists will
try to inject as much war madness
into the systems Of the American
people as possible. They feel that
another war is not. far in the future
and now is the time to prepare the
ground for it. The war to end war"
has just been called OFF and Morgan
is making almost as much money out
of the peace as he made out Of the
war. When peace is played out, then
Morgan will tell his political and mill
tary servants to bring on their darned
war. But readers, this is not die
tatorship. This is a democracy and
you live in free country!
THE YOUNG WORKERS LEAGUE
does not intend to Join in the
howl for another feast of human flesh
and blood on September IL. That or
gsnization will carry on national
campaign against war on Sept. Z.
Not alone in America but in every
country in the world the youth move
ment affiliated with the Young Com
rnunist International, will urge the
workers to fight against the capital
lists and their wars. At these meet
ings the young workers will be told
that the only way to get rid Of wars
Is to get rid Of capitalism. When the
war bugles ring out, the young are the
first to be grabbed and placed in front
of the cannon. What glorious pros
pect for the young workers of Amer
lea! To have their lives suddenly
blotted out by shrapnel, poison gas,
bomb, bayonet or any of the other
weapons of death that are fashioned
by our Christian capitalists for the
destruction Of human beings.
n RTHUR BRISBANE once had a
~ reputation for being somewhat of
q radical. His daily column in the
Hearst papers won popular favor be-
cause 1t slammed things as they are,
occasionally. But of late years Bris-
bane has coddled to the rich, particu-
larly Rockefeller. Some days Arthur
will tell us that the workers will rule
the world in the future. On the fol.
lowing day he may venture the opin-
ion that they never will, because they
cannot unite. He praises Coolidge be-
cause he is silent and wise. He for
gets himself a few days later and
suggests that Calvin's silence is due
to good sized brain vacuum.
DRISBANE may be crazy in his de-
l. Ginning years, but not so that the
real estate agents can notice it. Bris.
bane is wealthy. 1t is common
knowledge that he receives large
salary from William Randolph Hearst
for his editorials. But it appears that
he is even Weather than people sus
pected. A news clipping announces
that Arthur is putting up buildings
that will cost millions. One apart.
ment and bank building on the corner
Of Park Avenue and 57th Street will
cost S2,500,000. Another on the same
street will put Arthur a trifiing
s350,000 back. A little farther east
on 18th Street the famous columnist
is planning a twenty story office
building while at 102nd Street and 9Th
, Avenue he is building a 5000, 900
twenty story garage. 1t is not sur
prising therefore that radical Arthur
should at times advise his readers to
purchase real estate in Detroit, New
York and Los Angeles.
HNTO gardener has ever shown
" more tender care for any root
than the Socialist government has for
capitalism. Every effort to injure 1t
has been strongly avoided. There has
not been much done to strengthen or
foster capitalism but that failure has
been so obviously owing to inefiiciency
or sheer timidity and not to hatred
of the evil thing. Speeches delivered
by the Socialist ministers in parlia-
ment and outside at assemblies and
Populations of financiers and business
men have breathed the very essence
of sympathy for property, credit and
individual enterprise"
THIS is David Lloyd George talk
ing He pays eloquent tribute to
tho socialist leaders of : the Labor
Party government for their fidelity to
capitalism, so far. But being a poll

another draught from the Downing
Street cellar, Lloyd George warns the
