TMPERIALIST America, that was
L working behind the scenes at the
conference of Locarno. succeeded in
realizing her program in Western
Europe. In it's chase after new mark
cts, American imperialism is now de-
veloping a feverishly active policy in
the East, it is making conclusive eff
forts to extend it's Sphere of infiu-

tinents.
In China. American capitalism is
supporting the Chilli group with WI
Pei-fu at it's head and is egging him
on to definite acts of war.
America appears in China under the
banner of the policy of the "open
door" and processes, in words, to be a
friend" of the Chinese people, but in
reality is carrying on an Independent
imperialist policy Of oppression which
aims at ousting Americas competitors
from the Chinese market and taking
possession of the natural wealth of
China. At the Picking conference on
customs, America is also pursuing a
line of her own which deviates sharp
ly from the interests of Japan and the
orhcr competing imperialist powers.
TN Persia. The American general
L administrator of Persian finances
whose sphere of activity is Teheran,
has, since autumn 1922, actually di-
rected the finances of Persia. But
that is not enuf. American imperial
ism is at present attempting to extend
its field of activity. Only recently, the
Persian parliament, on American ini-
tiative, passed law which allows the
government to appoint twelve more
American specialists for 3-5 years.
One will be nominated director of
agricultural policy, another is to be
expert at the head of the railway de-
partment, and the@rest will concern
themselves with directing the affairs
of the country. Agriculture, railways,
finances, foreign trade, tariff policy, in
one word, the whole economic life OF
Persia is threatened with the fate of
falling into the clutches of American
Imperialism.

American ImperiaIisrns Offensive in Asia and Africa

American capitalist Otto Kahn, who
in April of this year carried out per-
sonal explorations in Morocco, is at
present working at the creation of an
American syndicate which, by agree
ment with Abd-el-Krim. is to exploit
territory which stretches for so
versts along the coast, east and west
of Alhucemas Bay, and reaches to the
borders of the French zone.
The Otto Kahn & Co. will work the
zinc, iron and anthony deposits in
this district, is preparing to construct
railways and roads, is planning to I'M
dertake extensive irrigation works
and to equip some water power works.
American capitalists are investing a
capital OF 200 million gold francs in
these undertakings.
Liberia. nominally the independent
Negro republic on the West coast OF
Africa, has long attracted the atten-
ton of American Imperialism, which
is at present engaged in consolidating
its rule there.

ISN'T it astounding? The National
L Association of Manufacturers (the
head of the "open shop movement)
is agitating for wages to be increased
by $50 in order to meet the increased
cost of living. You don't believe it?
Then get a copy of its official organ
American Industries for December
and turn to page 10. Your astonished
eyes will see such arguments as the
following:

sterilization only coRceals the fact of
continuous internecine struggle.
Breeds New Conflicts.
This is also how the Locarno
agreement is to be understood, for on
the one side 1t has the character of
an apparent paciflcation of Europe,
while on the other side 1t is the result
of an acute internal struggle and con
tains the germ of whole series of
future conflicts.
ut might have been expected that,
with the sterilization of capital, the
revolutionary movement would have
subsidized. but nevertheless it is CON
stantly flaring up in ever fresh coun-
tries, The so-calledr sterilization of
capital has simply to pat up with such
facts as a number of colonial wars
(Morocco. Syria) and p revolutionary
movement such as we see at present
in China.
Thus the struggle between various
forces goes on under new forms, the
fight of the capitalist states among
themselves, the fight of all the cap
italist countries against the revolu-
= nary elements in the East.
Capitalist Hopes.
AS is well known, the capitalistic
countries hoped that we should not
succeed in the reconstruction of our
country, that we should not be equal
to the task of buildingfu our econ
omics, that our forces would automat-
ically disintegrate in. consequence of
he incapability Of re-establishing in
ustry which they had anticipated.

them, feels herself to be an oppressed
and plundered country-and this is
felt not only by the working masses
but also by the bourgeoisie of Ger
many--the agreement on the part Of
England and France to act in common
with Germany, meets with consider
able difficulties. 1t is much more i'm.
portant of course that the working
class should realize that Locarno is
the first step in the attack planned
against us, and that all the capitalist
governments are afraid that any at
tempt at hostile action against us
would demoralize their own forces.
Growth of Labor Movement.
1T is precisely the growth of the
revolutionary movement which guar
antees that the war to- which i have
referred, and which is undoubtedly in
the minds of the capitalist powers in
spite of the passionate desire Of
Churchill, Poincare, Millerand etc,
will be postponed, and IN fact will not
be realized at all if the, growth of the
labor movement in Europe continues.
"The revolutionary movement in
Europe itself is progressing. 1t suffices
to call to mind the most recent events
in order to see this. l need only refer
to the elections successes of our
brother parties in Czecho-Slovakia,
Germany and Belgium. In France we
see really strong Communist Party
backed by the working class; we see
an extraordinary change of attitude in
the English trade union movement.

COMPETENT EVIDENCE REQUIRED

when it was the Romans and not the
Jews that ruled the world at that
time.
All this sort of talk seems pre-
mature. In ordinary evidence before
one is accused of murder it is neces-
sary to establish two things:
l. That there is a. corpse.
2. That the corpse was one time
known to have been alive.
In the case Of Jesus Christ both
these essentials are absent. There is
no authentic record of anyone ever
having seen such person. No con-
temporary historian mentioned his
name. Surely IL he had such an in
iuence upon those around him as is
described in the holy book that relates
his adventures some historian of the
time would have mentioned 1t. No one
alleged to have seen him wrote a
single line about 1t. So there is no
competent proof that such a person
ever lived.
Then there is no one who ever saw
his corpse. Surely II is essential to
establish the fact that Jesus was
murdered by someone before we ac-
cuse either the Jews or the Romans.
There must be corpse before one
can be tried for mmrder.
II seems to us that II would be much
more to the point pr the quarreling
rabbis and the hell-tsaring protestant
preachers first to Establish the fact
that such persoil as Christ ever
lived before they bsgin fighting over
the manner in which he died.

Under the caption Statement of

lea" there appears in the November
~ issue of the One Big Union Bulle-
tin, Of Winnipeg, Canada, an article
emanating from 1856 N. LaSalle street,
Chicago, and signed by one Matt John
son, putting forth in characteristic
language the "emergencyites" version
of the split in the ranks of the l.

AS might be expected, emergency

with the A. +. of L. labor takers in
clubbing the Communists "liquidators"

succeed in establishing an united
front with the Chicago Tribune, Daily
News, the Chamber of Commerce,
etc. In fact, the "injunctionites"-
by the way, they don't mention any
such little thing in their article as
seeking an injunction in the capital
list courts in direct violation of work
ing class principle--can give the
above mentioned papers and organ

The /. w. w. members whose revo-
lutionary realism has made them in
cline more and more to affihation with
the Red International of Labor Unions
are not in the least surprised by this
attitude of the injunctionites. Long
ago they realized that the muddled
thinking of the l. w. w. leaders and
intellectuals regarding the revolutions
airy functions of union, was paving
the way for the downfall of industrial
unionism by inclining more and more
to the "decentralizati6n" program of
the anarcho-syndicalists, and would
inevitably lead to splitting the /.

Manufacturers Favor" Wage Increase

view of the magnificent services this
judiciary renders to the open shop
employers, it suddenly becomes plain
that $4,000 is not enough to live on
in these days of high prices. And,
second, the original didn't say earn
ings,' it said Salaries
But how about the worker who only
gets one-tenth as much in a year, and
who must work like the very devil to
get that much? Wouldn't you think
that the high cost Of living would
press upon his $1,000 annual wage at
least ten times as hard as upon the
$4,000 wage" of the judges?
That only shows how little you know
about economist" The high cost of
living is very good argument for
adding $4,000 to $500 to judges sal
aries, to bring them up to $4,000 (the
lowest) and S20,50O (the highest), for
federal judges. But for workers at
wages only ten per cent of those
amounts, the high cost Of living ar
gument is no good Did we not hear
President Coolidge and Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, only the other day,
prove that wages were entirely too
high in comparison with the cost of
living?
Personally, l agree on one point
with the National Association of
Manufacturers. That is, with living
costs so high, all incomes for heads
of families should be from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year. That much is abb
solutely necessary to take care of a
family properly. But the federal
judges should be the last ones to get
1t. They are already pretty close to
1t. So let's begin with the 10000 900
workers in the shops, mines and trans
portation service, who get from $3.50
to $1,000 per year, and for a begin
ming, just to see how it works, double
their wages. They will still be only
20~ of those starvation wages" of
the judges, but even that is better
than only 1917.
All the labor unions should give a
vote of thanks to the Association of
Manufacturers for telling us what is
a living wage. 1t is $4,000 to $4,000
a year. And since the bosses of in
dustry say SO, it must be true. Let
every union then set itself to reach
this goal for its members.
"A living wage of $4,000 per year
for every worker"
For surely the worker earns as
much, and is as necessary to society,
as federal judge. And living costs
hit him just as hard And II the Ma

ance of the Dawes plan and the
treaty of Locarno. The object Of the
Dawes plan was the economic stab
ilization OF Europe. the object of Lo-
carno the political consolidation or
the political coalition as the case may
be of the largest countries of Europe.
"On the other hand, along with this
process of coalition and of the appar-
ent strengthening of the capitalist
countries, there is proceeding the re-
volutionizing of the broad masses of
workers in western Europe and the
revolutionizing of the colonies and
semi-colonial countries which is even
more prominent feature. 1t is in
the midst of these two processes that
we have had to lead our party and
our country onward.
what is the task we set ourselves
in doing so? This task was already
formulated by Lenin and still re-
mains in full force 1t is, TO gain time
to increase our economic and po-
litical strength. Every day which we
gain in the midst of the fight among
the various forces Oh the different
groups of the bourgeoisie, increases
our own forces. We have deliberately
carried out and continue to carry out
this policy of gaining time with, as
believe, no small amount of success.

of the English trade union movement

sian unity committee whose task it is

the foundations of capitalism in gen

ed mere pious wish, it is developing
a real activity of its own, is initiating
actions and carrying the masses with
it. This change in the English labor
movement, the connection which has
been established between the English
trade unions and our trade union
council, is a great success for the
tactics Of the united front.
Capitalists Doomed to Fail.
IF we take all these facts into con
sideration, we see that the situation
is one in which Churchill and Miller
and, however, much they may wish
to fight against us and strangle us be-
fore we have arrived at our full
strength, will not do so, that is, will
not have the power to do SO.
"They will not by any means what
ever be able to arrest the revolutions
airy movement in the East, for it lisa

dreds of millions who want to burst
their capitalist chains. The proletar-
ian movement in Europe, on the other
hand, will develop further.

any rate, we shall have a breathing
space for our work OF reconstruction"
