Capitalist Hope Tries
to Put RebeIlious Riffs
in Class With Indians
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY American workers are bandly informed thru the
employers that the trouble the Riffs are making
for Spanish and French capitalist rule In North Africa doesn't
amount very much just an incident
march OF Irresistible imperialism i is said like the futile
white man upon this continent
This is Of course confession Of blindness what has
been going in the world for the last century and half
like Senator LaFoIIette his socialist" following with
the political slogan Of Back to 70
The Russian Boshevk revolution destroyed the social
st myth that nations must go thru intensive develop
ent under capitalism before exploitation be abolished
and the workers and poor farmers into power. The
apoogsts for capitalism support this position by Iaudng
the uplifting influence that capitalist civilization brings
backward peoples"
Christian soldiers, with Bibles in their hip pockets
murdered defenseless Indians this continent for their
own good, il was said; just Victor |. Berger the
American socialist congressman defends American inter-
venton n Mexico claiming that good dose OF Wall Street
npeas rule will better prepare the Mexcans for the ad
vent OF socialism,
was inevitable that the tide of white immigration
pouring the Atlantic should overwheIm the American
Indian But not argued in the pariaments of Spain and
France in the American congress- that the drift of the
white human flood is into North Africa Mexico not
settlements for white peoples that France and Spain
seek in Northern Africa It an effort to subugate the
African coonias to its mperast rule just Great Britain
tried to mainain its mpera sway the American colo
nists.
The Moors Of Northern Africa have centuries-oId
civilization back of them. If they able challenge
European capitalism, they have already met and rebued
the mpeas armies of SPAIN then the whole colonial po
Icy of Rome Paris and London Is threatened not only in
Africa but also in ASIA where hundreds of millions of
less coonas groan under European rule ready the first
favorable opportunity to rise in open rebellion.
The repeated defeats nAfrica of the Spanish military
unta may result in the ending of monarchic rule in
Spain and the Inauguration of bourgeois republic.
But French imperasm's troubles in Africa may have
greater consequences The bankrupt French treasury in
spite of its aid from the House of Morgan meet the
heavy drains that extended against the Riffs de-
mands After month of fighting military operations
being pushed larger scale than The fall of the
Panleve government, result, is already predicted
In the French chamber Of deputies stand the Commune
sts raising the cry of the solidarity of French
with French ooonias only in Africa but every
where Across the world the Communist international sends
the demand for the right of sedeermnaon for all peoples
that the capitalist diplomats discussed at Versailles but that
only the Boshevik revolution has made possible for the
worlds land surface all tremendously united in the Union of
Soviet Republics.
The Riffs of Northern Africa trained in European
fare not the poor Indians of the American continents
easy victims of expanding British French and Spanish i'm
periaisms, at their very dawn
Rather the Riffs symbolic of the insoube problems
of fully developed world Imperialism that faced only
with discontinued and rebelous colonial peoples abroad
but with the rise of developing revolutionary working class
in the home countries struggling to create their Soviet
power. Truly the oppressos being surrounded all
fronts by the oppressed pushing forward for the final victory
