Wall Street Picks Its
Candidate in Fight For
Presidency of Germany
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY the international bankers In Wall Street tune in
on the German election campaign, pick their candidate,
and dare the German working to vote for anyone
else
Under the Morgan-Dawes PLAN the great fnanciers of
America become just Interested election Germany
as the American trust is concerned in Cuban
Hawaiian electoral struggles the American fruit trpst in
ballot box revolutionary results in Central America Ger
many the fountain from which reparation pay
ents gush in order that the Versailles allies may pay their
debts to these same world bankers
Wall Street has blackbaIed Won Hndenburg and picked
Wilhelm Marx, the coalition candidate of the socialists,
catholics and so-caed republicans its choice They
threaten the German with the refusal Of loans
pledged loyalty to the MorganDaWes plan. He has; just
like every other antiabor element in Germany. But the
coalition back of Marx with its socialist traitors offers
better center from which attack the mighty working class
power enlisted under Communist standards The socialists
tnung that betrayal with Wall Streets applause the
Dawes plan.
Washington says it has heard nothing about Wall
Streets declaration the German elections 1t also egned
formulation Of the Dawes plan. But in due time "ca"
Coolidge made it known that the republican administration
accomplished and it voiced in terms
the whole power the United States the
ensIavng provisions complied with. So Secretary
Of State Kellogg nnoceny that all he knows Of
the bankers backing OF Marx what he has read in the
daily newspapers That is dollar diplomacy wearing its
mask of innocence
Not that Wall Street objects to Hndenburg! Perhaps
will back him in the next election, if the workers be
Street putting its money the fascist dictator Horhy in
Hungary and the fascist dictator Mussoni in Italy
1t feels that the bloody relationships of these letters Of
working class blood the best bets in these two
tries It feels that they best uphold the pillars Of crmbng
capitalism in Hungary and Italy. Therefore supports
them. That is why it supports Marx in Germany
American workers should study carefully the fact that
there candidate in the German elections toward whom
Wall Street casts flirting gances That candidate
Thaemann the docworker from Hamburg, the great Ger
seaport. This is easily understood when it is known
that Thaemann is the Communist candidate Thaemann
the standard bearer of the for the destruction
capitalism and mitarsm. But he than that
He is also soldier OF the Communist International in
struggle that is part of the world fight against capitalism
Thaelmann not only the standard bearer of Commun-
ism against Won Hindenburg against Marx against the
allied antiabor political parties of Germany against
capitalism. He also the standard the Ger
workers fight against Wall Street, against American
capitalism. American workers enlist the Commun-
st side Of the German electoral struggle by ensng in the
Workers (Communist) Party of America, and Joining
against capitalism in this country Wall Street anti
Communist in Germany, just it ntiCommunist in
United States. An increasing Communist strength in the
United States will be growing aid to the Communist
struggle of the German workers. The class war is world
for the determination of capitalism everywhere.
