offer resistance, have decided to take
an active part in European affairs
again. Their role as spectator dur
ing the time of the Ruhr adventure
was an enforced one; by what means
could they hold back France when
she had taken the solution of the re-
parations question in her own hands?
They were not only unable to venture
on war, from. the blows Of which they
had not yet recovered, they could not
even venture to oppose sharply the
policy of the French, for this would
have meant the breaking up of the
Entente. How could England decide
to break with France, when she did
not have a single ally in Europe, and
when she did not know what would
be the relations of the United States
to her in the future?
The only thing to do was to hope
that Poincare would break his neck
against the German resistance, or that
he would exhaust himself, even in the
event of a victory over Germany. The
latter is what actually occurred. The
time came when England interviewed.
Its first form was the participation
of England in those manipulations
which brought about the fall of the
Franc. This led France to recognize
the Experts Plan. The present task
consists in compelling France to evac.
uate the Ruhr basin. This assures in
the first place equal conditions for
England and France in the attempts to
arrive at bargain with the German
coal and iron kings, and abolishes the
danger of the creation of a Franco

Whilst the share of Europe in English
exports has decreased from 5000 per-
cent in 1913 to 1902 percent in 1928,
the share of the colonies has risen
from 37.2 percent in 1913 to 1872 per-
cent in 1923. This was due in the
first place to the fact that the ex-
port of English capital was chiefly
directed to the colonies. In 1913 Eng
land exported capital amounting to
200 million pounds, in 1922 only $50
million pounds and in 1923, 100 mil
lion. ("Statist" of 5th January 1924
These capital sums are invested as
follows: in 1913 England invested 9S
million pounds in foreign countries
and 80 million in her own colonies;
in 1922 foreign loans absorbed about
20 and in 1923 about 30 million pounds
less than colonial loans. If England
desires now to participate in the res
toration of European economy, she
must reduce her export of capital to
the colonies which will mean reducing
their purchasing power. At the same
time she must reckon with the fact
that the industrial production of her
colonies is increasing and as a result,
the prospect of their forming an ever
increasing market for English goods
is fading.
In view Of these facts the English
bourgeoisie at. the last elections re-
nounced the utopian ideas of the Con-
servatives to disregard Europe and
rely in the first place on the colonial
markets. The English bourgeoisie,
who since the Ruhr expedition of Poin-
care have looked passively on at the
events in Europe, only attempting be-
hind the scenes to egg Germany on to

At present the degree of activity of

comparatively few members are really
active. They carry on the life Of the

ton. The mass must be brot into the

The membership must be educated to
the necessity of working in all the
fields of Party activity; they must be
organized to carry on this work effec-

these principles are borne in mind

France upon Germany in general,
lowers the prestige Of France in Po-
land, Czecho-Slovakia, in Roumania

England has recently, begun very sue
cessfully to counteract French in
fiuence. If the loan for Germany
amounting to 200 million dollars is
carried out, half Of which is to be
contributed by America and the other
half by English banks, then not only
Germany, but France also will be rem
dered dependent upon Anglo-saxon
capital. The carrying out of the ex-
perts' plan internationalizes the Ger
man liabilities. Germany will not be
the debtor of France. Frances place
win be taken by the International
stock exchange. France will then not
be in a position to put pressure on
Germany, to disorganize her economy
and by this means to limit the English
market. So soon as things are pro-
ceeding in this direction France will
be strongly impelled to reduce her
ornaments. Thus reckons English cap
italism.
France demands as recompense for
her concurrence in such decisions, the
remuneration by England of the debts
owing to her from France. The Eng
lish government>has not agreed and
does not agree to cancel the French
debts. Macdonald hasrefused up tonow
to give any promise in this respect and

represent only 30 per cent OF what the

the actual cost of projects had come
