provided work for 1000 workers.
Whereupon an old worker, the secre-
tary Of trade union. asked whether
he would perhaps declare little war
in order to employ further number
of unemployed.
The Representation Of the comintern
has Proved to be Correct.
How do things stand with regard to
foreign politics? In this connection
will quote from an article / wrote
on the 23rd of February, 1924 entitled
Five Years of the Comintern" With
reference to the fate Of the MacDon-
aid government indicated four pos
sibilities:
Il The Macdonald government will
only remain for short period, and
will be overthrown in a short time
by simple adverse vote, leaving
noticeable traces however behind it.
20. Macdonald and Co may adap'
themselves to such an extent to the
decisive groups of English imperial
lists, that the latter may deem it adj
yisable to let them remain longer in
Office in order to carry on imperialist
policy, and that at the same time
thoroughly to discredited the present
labor" party in the eyes Of the Eng
fish working class and thereby to
cause disappointment and confusion
in its ranks.
%. A process of differentiation can
also set in within the working class
itself. The left wing win become
gradually stronger, the working
masses will exert pressure upon the
labor government and enforce eff
fective measures for the alienation
of the life of the workers. Macdonald,
Clynes and Henderson will OF course
offer resistance to the demands Of the
workers. All this viii create the pre-
requisites for the formation OF Com
munist mass party in England.
"A. The labor government, in
spite of the incapability and the
counter-reyolutionary character of its
members will, under the pressure Of
the masses, to a certain extent ex-
press the mood Of the lower strata OF
the workers. A struggle is arising be-
tween the labor government OF
Macdonald and the bourgeoisie which
can m relatively short time mark
the beginning of the sharpening Of
the crisis in England into revolu-
tionary crisis.
In so far as it is possible to predict
the development Of events, it is highly
improbable that the first and the
fourth perspective will be realized. It
is more probable that the second and
third prospective will be realized"
We have come very near the truth.
II you follow the foreign policy of
Macdonald you win see that the re-
suit Of the first nine months OF his
government fulhll the two POSSIBLE
tiles predicted by u.s.
The English Bourueoisie Wanted, by
Means Of Macdonald, to Compromise
the Labor Party In the Eyes Of the
| Colonial Peoples.
| There Is not the least doubt that the
bpurgeoisie has throughout played
with Macdonald as . cat with
mouse. this Is particularly the case
with regard to foreign policy.
In 1928 Curzon made himself inn
possible. chiefly because he conduc-
ted too open and brutal foreign pol
icy especially towards the Soviet Re
public and the English colonies. In
the English colonies especially in In
dia upon which the fate OF England
depends, great hopes have been set
for many years upon the labor party.
The masses Of the Indian people said:
When the labor party comes into
power they will carry on another
policy In India. Then India will be
able TO breathe freely"
