War?

With Kaleidoscope rapidity the center of gravity
Of the imperialst conflict that rends world capital
ism has shifted from China to Africa. The tory
government of England junks the league of nations
and prepares for major conquests in northern
Africa that drive the French mperialists to frenzy
The death of a British general at the hands of
workers whose comrades he had murdered throws
all Europe into turmoil and brings joy to the
hearts Of the munition makers Just as did the as
sassination of a Serbian princeling in 1914
The rapidity of the change Of scene is in itself
indicative of the instability of world capitalism.
That the new casus belli revolves around a semi
colonial domain similar in many respects to China
is proof of the Communist contention that every
of these areas of capitalist exploitation is a
potential bombshell that slight jar may explode.
Great Britain has not single friend or ally in
Europe. The rest of the imperiaist powers, France
particularly look at the mobilization of troops and
warships for the Egyptian campaign with jealous
fear.
There is a panic in the robbers roost and like
the lowlier gunner Of Chicago, they do not intend
to let one of their number get more than his share
of the loot.
The threat of war growing out of the Egyptian
imbrogio is no journalistic phrase All of the in
gradients for another wholesale slaughter of the
masses are present-Europe is armed to the teeth
and vicious nationalism is at high tide.
There is new factor present in the European
situation, however, one that was not there in 1914
Soviet Russia and the Communist international
the personifcation in the minds of the militarist
madmen Of the revolution, the force that allows
them no peaceful moment, are in Europe and have
the backing of millions of the same workers that
imperialism must depend upon for its life.
The last war almost ended capitalism Whether
it comes today or tomorrow, and come it will, the
next war will end it everywhere and forever. The
fear of this is one of the major factors in tenn
porariIy hating another world war.
Capitalism" said Marx, "came into the world
dripping blood and dirt from every pore.' No one
who looks at the present European situation and
hears the baying of the dogs Of war can help be-
eving that it will go out the same way.

Attack on BrotherhOods Begins

Eight thousand engineers fremen and hostlers
employed by the Southern Pacific railway are TAX
ing strike vote. The railway company has re-
fused to negotiate directly with the union and in
sists on having all questions of wages and working
conditions handled by the strikebreaking agency
of the government-the railway labor board. Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson, who granted the injunction
that was a major factor in breaking the strike of
the railway shopmen in 1922 has upheld the iuris-
diction of the railway board over these questions
and has ruled that union members or officials who
refuse to answer the summons of the board may
be imprisoned for contempt of court.
The workers involved in the dispute are asking
an per cent increase in wages and the negotia-
tions have been hanging fire for almost a year.
The Southern Pacific railway has postponed de-
cisons time after time with the evident intention of
waiting until after the election returned Coolidge
the enemy of the labor movement to office.
This single instance affecting the most con-
servative section of the organized workers, one
that has never been the target for the open shop
movement is proof that the labor unions are going
to be forced to fight for their very lives in the
very near future and is probably only the begin
ming of an attack that will involve even large sec
tons of the labor aristocracy that has hitherto
stood aloof from the struggles of the rest of the
organized workers as the railway brotherhoods
did in 1922.
There appears to be some militancy left in the
fremen and enginemen in spite of the efforts of
their officials to make them believe they are bank
ers and not workers, but the oficialdom, which
hailed the establishment of the railway labor board
during the war period a victory for labor, will
not fight
We propose the immediate organization of shop
committees as weapon for these workers and the
recommendation will call forth sarcastic smile
from them. A year from now, however, we venture
to say that they will not dismiss the suggestion so
lightly BY that time the anti-labor offensive will
be in full swing and they will be froced to fight or
surrender. They will not surrender altho their
banker-leaders within fact they already have.

HGiI-Our Navy!

I'VE do not refer to the armada of battleships
which is preparing to sail for far Pacific waters
under the stars and stripes as a threat against
Japan in the guise of "naval maneuvers" That
is but the first major step in the mobilization for
the coming war for the conquest of China and the
Pacific. 1t is definite outward manifestation of
the transfer of the struggle of Imperialism from
the Atlantic to the Pacific which Karl Marx was
able to forecast when first the gold discoveries
in California in 1S49 turned the gaze of American
Imperialism across the westward shore The navy
that will soon sail to make the first skirmish, at
least tactical skirmish in the coming real world
war, is not the navy we hail
Hail our navyt-But we refer to a navy which
really belongs to the revolution of the workers of
the world. We refer to the Red Navy which flies the

The Red Navy of Russia has secured the return
of its Black Sea feet. The French government. in
recognizing the Soviet government, was compelled
to return these ships which had been in the pos
session of the counter revolutionary Baron Wran-
GEL The regaining of possession of these ships is,
however, not to be credited to a mere diplomatic
victory In the truest of the word these ships
were reswon thru force of arms in warfare Soviet

The Maine textile workers have been handed a
10 per cent wage cut-a further testimonial Of the
esteem in which the textile capitalists hold them
following 1212 per cent reduction last year
The Paterson silk workers have shown the way
to take care Of such forays on the already low
wages and living standards Of the textile workers
and the best thing the Maine workers can do is
to follow their example-organize, strike andsfght
thru to victory or honorable defeat The lack of
such action, douby difficult because of the absence
of any union, when the cut was made last year,
is doubtless responsible for the new attack.
Maine is also a Coolidge stronghold.

The New Morgan Loan

The House of Morgan is heading huge syn
dictate of American fnanciers to float a hundred
million dollar loan to the Herriot government of
France.
American imperialist domination has been max
ing such rapid progress in recent months that a
hundred million dollar loan in itself is no longer
of momentous Importance. This loan, however,
bears significance in many directions.
For months negotiations have been going on be-
tween the firm Of j. p. Morgan and company, rulers
of the United States, and the Herriot administra-
ton of France. The Herriot cabinet, it will be
recalled reached its present political pinnacle
thru attacking its predecessor, the Poincare
clique along many lines, One of the most forceful
lines of criticism leyeled against the Poincare ad-
ministration by the French liberals was its alto
gether tooready acceptance of harsh terms at the
hands of J. P. Morgan and company in the financial
transactions. Now these liberals are in power. Now
the critic Herriot is at the helm. Mr. Herriot and
his radicals who did all the bowling against Nor
gan in order to ride into power on the tide of
mass popular discomfort with the Morgan maneu-
vers in France are now the very ones to accept
the same disgraceful terms at the hands of the
American financial dictator
Again we must ask Where is the blessing that
the Dawes plan was to shower on France? 1t
simply is not there. Some may say that the Dawes
plan has not been in operation long enough Yet,
the fact remains that Dawes plan or no Dawes
plan French mperialst finance is in such wretched
shape that it cannot administer its governmental
machinery without aid from foreign capitalist
sources
This big Morgan loan is another root sunk
into the European soil by the American imperial
lists 1t is another step in the direction Of untram
meled American hegemony. It is another move that
is bound to hasten the coming world conhagration.
