GENEVA, Oct 1.-The arbitration
protocol draft, containing the Japanese
amendment was formally placed be-
fore the League of Nations today M.
Politis of Greece, and DR.. Benes, of
Czecho-S lovakia, introduced the draft
TO the assembly in plenary session.
The sponsors of the peace protocol
show a naive faith in the capitalist
governments, that is not shared by
the newspaper correspondents or in
deed, by the diplomats from whose
lips the words of peace flow so gently.
If nations begin hostilities impulsive-
ly, the League will simply proclaim an
armistice, and of course, "the impul-
sive nations" will pack up their deadly
weapons and go home shamefacedly!
1t is to laugh loudly and uproariously.
The heads of two small nations
were given the honor of bringing in
the latest peace baby. But it will
take more than the product of Ram
say MacDonald's cracker factory, to
bring it to maturity.

JAP DIPLOMAT
DENIES anti
US. WAR MOVE
League Still ChGtters
About Peace

Especial to the DAILY WORKER)
TOKYO, Oct. 1.-Replying to
the charges made in the Amer
lean press that Japan was lin
ing up the League of Nations
against the United States, For-
eign Minister Shidehara, today
| in an interview declared that
"Japan had no intention of SUBJ
hitting the American immigra-
ton problem to the League of
Nations for arbitration"
Shidehara said that if the
league was created to mini
mize the chances of war, league
competency should as a matter
of principle be extended to all
varieties of differences between
nations.
|, This attitude appears quite logical,
but nothing is logical except force un-
der the present social order and the
most powerful capitalist nation in the
world, the United States, is not going
to tolerate any interference with its
ambition to go out and take what 1t
wants when it wants it. Irritating
Japanese race pride may not be such
bad thing for the Japanese ruling
class for the moment. 1t enables them
to cover up their exploitation of their
own subject classes behind a smoke
screen of anti-American feeling, and
the American ruling class can arouse
more emotional insanity in the form
of patriotism over the yellow peril"
that it could over the exploitation Of
the Orient.
While the diplomats in Tokyo and
Washington make peaceful gestures
the respective governments are build
ing up their military and naval forces
for the next great conflict.
Nobody expects that war between
Japan and the United States can be
localized. When tthe storm breaks
the League of Nations will die with a
loud gasp and the workers of all ma
tions will again be thrown into the
bloody arena, unless in the meantime
they take the power of government
out of the hands of the master class.

STEEL WORKERS HEAR

unofficial" or otherwise, the financial
barons Of no national capitalist group
have ever acted in so dictatorial a
manner as the American bankers and
diplomats did at this reparations con-
ference.
Full Government Support.
On April IA, 1924, at the Annual
Luncheon of the Associated Press, in
New York City, President Coolidge
elled on the country to back the Amer
lean share of the Dawes loan soon to
be floated by the biggest banks. The
President said: II trust that private
capital will be willing to participate
in this loan" Sound business rea-
sons" were advanced by Coolidge for
his plea.
In his address of acceptance Of the
republican presidential nomination
delivered at Washington on August H.
1924 Coolidge further called for sup
port of the Dawes plan when he said:
Il shall do what can to encourage
American citizens and resources to
assist in restoring Europe, with the
sympathetic support of our govern
ment."
Add to this the report of the Foreign
Securities Committee of the Invest
ment Bankers Association of America
as delivered before its last convention
at Cleveland, Ohio, on September "a,
1924. The report proposed the esta-
blishment of a special foreign loans
bureau of the United States Depart
ment Of Commerce which shall be
charged with the task of furnishing
"all the special information pertain
ing to the terms and provisions of is
sue and to the actual conditions of
the country involved"
The next logical proposal is now be-
ing put Forwards demand for open,
frank protection of these investments
by the government. Writing from
Geneva, Paul Scott Mowrer, the we'll
known European correspondent of the
Chicago Daily News, in its issue of
September 81, 1924, made it plain
that "the protection of American CAPT
tai is not only legitimate govern
mental preoccupation, but an actual
duty"
Dollar Diplomacy Supreme.
AS a result of this first direct at
tempt, in time of peace, of the Unit
ed States government to encourage,
even unoficially, the purchase OF a
foreign issue, we have the complete
receivership of Germany in the hands
of the American financial oligarchy.
The Germans are speaking OF the
American banker, Owen d. Young, as
Owen !" with more power than the
Kaiser ever had. An American CAPT.
talist is now serving as one of the
arbitrators in the transfer of repara-
tons payments. An American bank
er is director of the new German
Bank Of Issue. The first general rep
arations agent is the American cor
poration lawyer, s. Parker Gilbert, Jr.
This is the full fruition of the re-
dictionary republican policy of hands
of Europe" while at the same organ
izing to secure a stranglehold on the
industries and resources of the CONT
nent and the world.

which its suggestions can be carried
out, is a receivership."
The coming political events, the
steps taken by the Washington state
department, further forecast the dark
shadow of American decisive partici-
patton in Europe thru the Dawes Com
mission of Preparations Experts. AS
soon as Mr.. Hughes assumed the toga
of the secretaryship of state, he in
structed Royland w. Boyden to take
part in the meetings of the reparations
commission in Paris. "Unofficially" of
course.
In April 1921 the German govern
ment sought American mediation in
the reparations controversy and asked
the administration to Elk the sum to
be paid to Germany" Hughes promptly
and curtly replied in the negative.
However, he assented to transmit to
the Allies any proposals which the
German government might formulate.
Within three days the Germans an
swered the Hughes offer. Little atten-
tion was paid then to the reply, which
coincided with the attitude of the
American dollar diplomats. The Ger
man proposal had in it the essence Of
what, in a few years, was to become
the present Dawes report-the appoint
ment Of an international COMMITTEE Of
experts to decide on Germany's capa-
city to pay, the flotation of huge
International loan to the Reich, and the
fixing of approximately twelve and a
half billion dollars as the total re-
paration payment.
Hughes Takes a Hand.
Hughes informed the Germans that
their plan did not afford "a basis for
discussion acceptable to the Allied
governments" He did not transmit the
proposal as he had promised to do,
because official action Of this sort, at
that moment, would have aroused
Allied imperialist suspicious of an op-
position to the United States Govern
ment. Nothing was done by Washing
ton till the Fall Of 1922 when Hughes
preached the idea of a committee of
experts to the Franco-British imperial
list spokesman. The Hughes suggestion
evoked no response.
The agricultural crisis was becoming
so sharp in the United States that the
Government was compelled to make
at least an audible and visible pre-
tense at procuring relief In order to
forestall action on the Borah resolu-
ion calling for an international confer
ence, in order to avoid legislative,
senate action on American foreign re-
lations as provided for by the Consti-
tuition and thus to limit the consider
alton of these matters to executive,
backdoor treatment, Hughes went to
New Haven in December 1922 and sug-
gested, in a public address. the ap-
pointment of committee of experts.
French ImperiaIists Yield.
Another year interviewed before the
European financiers were compelled to
yield to the American moneyed lords
whose trump card was economic pres
sure, economic prowess. On December
5, 1923, Louis Barthou, the French
president of the reparations commits
sion, asked Colonel James A. Logan,
the American unofficial member of the
body, if the Washington government
would "acquiesce in the acceptance of
invitations by American experts.
The die was cast. The American i'm
perialists had now crossed the Rubicon
of their campaign for the industrial
and financial conquest of Europe. What
