u. S. SHUTS GATES TO C0MNAUNIST
AS WE SEE IT
81 2. J. o'FLAHERIY

CHICAGO judges are now competing
~ with each other for the compl-
mcntz Of the newspapers by treating
prisoners rough. Judge Lyle cannot
even stay with the trout for a few
days to enjoy brief vacation. He
hurries back to make an example OF
a few gunner andperhaps prepare his
record for a race for the office of
states attorney. Law and order does
not enthuse capitalist politicians I'M
less there is something in it for them.
A MOTHER judge by the name OF
"A McGoorty, hurried back from Eng
land ready to do his share. He got his.
picture on the front page OF the
Chicago Herald Examiner. McGoorty,
whose ancestors we're not so enthu-
siastic about English justice" thinks
II Is q fine product Of civilization.
Burglars and confidence men receive
short shrift in British court but
wealthy thieves are treated just about
the same as they are treated here. The
impartiality of British courts is a
monstrous myth. They are just about
as impartial as American courts-just
about.
MAYOR Hylan bit the dust in New
1E1 York's primary race for the
mayoralty nomination. The Tammany
machine did the trick. 1t is a po-
werful machine. rough and ready. The
capitalists are not crazy about 1t but
II serves their purpose better than
a machine under the direction of
william Randolph Hearst. Tammany
Is disciplined. Hearst is not. Tam
many stands for itself first and for
the capitalists afterwards, but with
QUE the capitalists 1t would be no
wAere. It coins the sufferings of the
maMBes into gold, but 1t does the trick
clsverly. Thus 1t manages to survive.
How long 1t can survive, depends on
many factors the chief of which is
the health of the capitalist system.
CREAKING OF the situation in China,
- = representative Of the Los Angel
ee chamber of commerce was violent
IN his condemnation of the slogan
"Asia for the Asiatics." This is per-
nirlous, he said and carries a message
Of eva for the white man" The
British were past masters in the art
az creating the impression among
othnr races that the whites were
superior. The world war helped to
I'M this belief. The other races saw
white men chased back and forth
over hill and dale by other white men
and sometimes by black and yellow
men, They were no longer invincible
In their eyes.
VITHAT made the Chinese sit up and
w take notice, says this gentleman
was the invasion Of China by a horde
oe ,hungry Russians driven out Of that
country by the workers after they
had toppled the Gear from the throne.
Those Russians accepted any mental
occupation that offered two or three
meals a day and bed. The Chinese
came TO the conclusion that a white
man acts like yellow man under a
given set of circumstances, and that
therefore his supremacy to date can
not be attributed to the color of his
skin.
THERE is bit of truth in this.
= The colonial peoples are being edu-
Gated to see thru the myth of white
supremacy just as the workers are be-
ink educate to see thru the myth of
capitalist infsllibility. ON the one
hand the imperialists crush the colon
iai peoples under the yoke of ex-
ploitetion, while on the other hand
ths requirements of industry force
thsm "a make a certain amount of
knQvledge available to their slaves.
