mo Isolation Of Our Great Republic
BY the treatment of resolution %
we very clearly see that the purpose
OF Gompers in appointing himself al
under-secretary Of war and appoint
ing labor bureaucrats in every stat'
as recruiting agents is by NO means
defensive" The resolutions commit
tee in adolf language, after "subscrib
ing to the high and lofty purpose
said:
with the rapid extension Of In
ternatlonal finance, industrIaIlsm
and commercialism, the restric-
ticn proposed for the end sought
by this resolution, confined as Il
Is to our nation alone, would tend
to isolate our people and nation
from participation In the worlds
developments We enforce
all legal obligation entered into
within our domestic borders by
processes Of law and by discipline
Of governmental forces.
$50, too, In the present interna-
tIonal Intercourse, our methods Of
obedience and discipline to obIi-
cations entered into are harsh and
cruel at times. Nothing within
the realm of practical possibiII-
ties should remain unobserved so
that the people Of all nations
will be inspired to develop pro-
cesses Of a humane and peaceful
character. This cannot be achIev-
ed by lessenIng Of national hon.
or or the isolation Of our great re-
public from cooperating with all
other democratic nations In the
worlds present tendencies and de-
velopments. We cannot recon-
mend approval Of the resolution"

sia, Haiti, Santo Domingo, or even
who knows?-war upon France or up
on the enslaved workers of Germany
who may revolt and repudiate the
Dawes plan and its loans. In all
this, the labor bureaucracy offers to be
both the recruiting agent and the
priest who blesses the war and makes
it holy. 1--WE are against isolation

Vol made it plain when he upheld
verbally the necessity of war to col
lect "meritorious loans"
Amsterdam Reformists Have No Plan:
That labor may not find these loans
so "meritorious" was indicated by the
fraternal delegates from Europe ir
particular The English openly admit
ted that the Dawes plan was already
forcing a lower standard on British
workers and they might lose still
more. But they had no policy to op
pose it and didn't know what to do
The German delegate said that Ger
many accepted the Dawes plan tc
get a breathing SPELL" but admitted
that labor was being strangled in the
process Of breathing" He asserted
that it was either the Dawes plan OF
Bolshevism, and the yellow social
democrats, of which he is one of the
leaders, chose the Dawes plan. tho
he couldn't clearly explain its ad
vantages as compared with Bolshe
vism.
1t is with these fraternal delegates
from Europe, and the ones COMING
from the Mexican federation then in
convention across the Rio Grande, thai
the most significant events developed
in showing the American labor bu.
reaucracy as the labor department
