NATIONS LEAGUE

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. ia
That the league Of nations is merely
the servant Of the European imperial
lists, particularly the British empire,
was again demonstrated when the
British delegate told the league as
sembIy that they must wait before
acting on disarmament" conference
until the allied premiers meet and for
muIate an anti-soViet agreement, the
so-eaIled Security" pact. The allies
will meet at Lucerne on October 5,
and the Hlndenburg government has
been invited to send representatives.
Sir Cecil Hurst, the English dele
gate, admitted the failure Of the
league to take any independent act

position and prestige would be SER
iously endangered if its efforts in the
direction of disarmament constituted
nothing but an unbroken series Of
failures" he continued. 1--WE cannot
risk a third failure"
The league of nations functions as
the lackey of the world imperialist
powers, in dominating the small and
weak nations and exploiting colonial
peoples, and Matching anti-Soviet
plots. Hursts speech shows that the
league takes its orders from the cap
italistic governments.

AS WE SEE 1T

DOOR old Kellogg got himself into
4 another jam when he dutifully
obeyed the hint of the British foreign
office, to bar Comrade Saklatvala, the
Hindu Communist and member Of the
British parliament, from the country.
The British rulers dear souls wish to
retain a reputation for liberality in
the matter Of free speech as long as
they can afford the luxury, but they
don't like refractory men like Saklat-
vala to go abroad and shed little
light on the way things are going
behind the imperial curtain.
JAMES RAMSAY MCDONALD and
Arthur Henderson are coming to
this country shortly. No effort will be
made to cancel their visas. 1t is quite
likely that Macdonald will receive
an Official welcome. He IL socialist
and his Views on India are kosher,
Ditto, Mr.. Henderson, who will speak
for tho socialist party. Those gentle
men may arrive in this country on
scab ships if there are any available.
Saklatvala is a Communist and his
main business, in fact his only visible
means Of recreation. is devisnig ways
and means to overthrow British inn
perialism and incidentally all imperial
ism,
CAKLATvALA is from India, which
~ has often been called the key to
the British imperial arch. You know
what happens to an old stone bridge
when the keystone is pried loose.
That is what will happen to the Brit
ish empire when India is jimmied
loose from the rest Of the structure.
A pile of ruins will be the result, with
the British ruling class under the
ruins. There is a good deal of sym
pathy for the Hindu nationalist move
ment in the United States, and Com
rade Saklatvala would be sure of a
good audience for his Communist
views on the situation in India.
THIS is not the first time that the
American government has stepped
in TO assist the British in prosecuting
Hindus The conduct of this govern
ment towards Hindus during and i'm
mediately after the war was notorious
Towards Ireland there was a different
attitude because there are millions of
Irish votes in the United States, yet
a few Irish republicans were treated
roughly by Washington on orders from
the British government. The threat
ened deportation of Mayer O'Cal-
laghan of Cork was an example of the
willingness of the American govern
ment to aid the British ruling class
in keeping their subject peoples in
the yoke. ay
WHILE Kellogg was in London as

he did everything except act as pot

WASHINGTON, o. c., Sept. ia
While the state department chung to
its contention that shapurji sakIst-
Vala, Communist member Of the Brit
lsh parliament, was barred from at
tending the ntsrparIIameHtRry union.
to which he was q delegate, because
Of his "communIstle attachments" Il
is now definitely known that saklst-
vala was denied sdmittance because
Of a request Of the British govern
ment.
Itself unable to prevent SaklstvslR's
coming, and afraid that he would ex-
pose the fearful exploitation OF the
workers Of India by British imperial
ism, the Baldwin government asked
the state department to deny the Com
munist a passport.
Secretary Of State kellogg, after a
conference with President Coolidge,
acceded to this request.
Exposed Imperialism
Several congressman declare that In
the next session of congress they will
attempt to have law passed curbing
the autocratic powers of the secret
airy OF state to bar foreign visitors.
Senator Borah of Idaho, who critic
Used the exclusion of the Indian mem
Der Of parliament, made public what
Washington generally considers the
real reason for Britains aversion to
his visiting the United States.
In a speech in the house of COM
mons, Saklatvala nemingly denounced
British mis-rule in India, in which he
contended that if Britain practiced in
England what she is practicing in his
country There would not be a man
or woman who would not rise and
fight to the bitter end to proclaim
their rights.
Saklatvala's Crime
British Imperialism must go II
humanity is to progress. You call us
'seditious' when we protest against
these things But when you rise In
revolt in this country against the rul-
ing classes it is called the spirit Of
democracy In India, it is 'sedition,
conspiracy and propaganda.
Commenting on this, Senator Borah
said:
Il think anyone who reads his
speech will conclude that Saklatvala's
crime was discussing conditions in
India"
One of the utterances of Saklatvalaa
to which kellogg made objections
was, I'VE declare that war is a part
of the capitalist system and can there
fore only be abolished with the over
throw of capitalism. This means that
the whole working class movement
must be organizationally and ideolo-
gieaIly prepared to fight war by the
transformation of the imperialist war
when declared into the civil war and
the seizure Of power by the working
class"
