The Big Boss Forgiues

Joseph Caillaux, finance minister in the Pain
leve government, need not worry over the attacks
of the royalists and extreme nationalists His ap-
pointment to one of the most important posts-if
not the most important-in the government has
been sealed with the approval of the House OF
Morgan.
Caillaux was a "traitor" to France during the
war. He charged with illegal commerce with
the enemy" found guilty and sentenced to Danish
ment. That was five years ago.
France won the war, or at least Germany lost.
But it is beginning to look as if the only winning
power was Wall Street, representing the American
bourgeoisie. Today the American dollar is more
imperious in Paris than the threatening notes of
the kaiser when his great armies we're goose-step
ping their way to the Marine.
French finance is a jungle. The tigers who
helped to arouse the French nation to frantic fury
against Germany have retired from the field. The
"traitor" Caillaux is called in as a pinch hitter
for French capitalism Clemenceau and Poincare
grind their teeth with rage But Morgan advises
them to chew softly His sensitive aural nerves are
irritated by the rasping noise from the anti Gail
laux moars. s,s
After ALL Caillaux was only traitor to one
group of the French bourgeoisie, the pro.British
group. In the eyes of the pro-German group he
was hero And tho Morgan is the financial agent
of the British government in America, this fnan
cal marriage does not prohibit other relationships
A sailor may have home in every port, but prac
tically every European government is concubine
of the House of Morgan.
So Joseph Caillaux may come to the United
States to head the delegation that will seek to
hquidate the debt quarrel between France and
Wall Street. Morgan has given Caillaux a clean
bill of health. Regarding his record" declared
Thomas Lamont, 'that is thing of the past and
forgotten" Sure. But had Caillaux been a revo-
lutionist, out to overthrow the capitalist system
instead of being tool of certain big French in
terests, he would now be rotting in prison as so
many French workers are. The big boss forgives
a useful tool of capitalism for his wartime in
discretions.

Sessions of Enlarged Executive of the c. l.

I "IHVEN in Hungary, Finland and Es-
~ thonia, the movement is expert
encing a revival. The characteristics
Of our epoch are different from those
OF former revolutions.
"In the first place, the Russian
working class has already won def
mite victory; in the second place, the
eastern peoples are awakening; In the
third place, we are now living after
the world war, and in a period of
preparation for new world wars, with
more experienced working class;
fourthly, the class struggle is perme-
ated with elements Of civil war; fifth
ly, the peasantry ia awakening-a fac
tor that was absent in 1871 and in
1905; in the sixth place, the working
class is not crushed, as in former rev.
olutions, but its forces are merely not
yet mature for victory; and in the
seventh place, the Comintern exists.
II am opposed to the view that the
partial consolidation of capitalism
necessarily means the weakening Of
our parties. Between 1907 and 1917,
the mensheviks ridiculed us, and pro-
nounced the revolution dead. But the
Bolsheviks held out for twelve years
and in October they were able to say

DoLEMIzING against Kreibich,
4 zinoviev says that Kreibich was
Radek's agent. Kreibich specialized
on differences of opinion in the Co
mintern, and Comrade Bucharin has
already pointed out that these were
but the gossip Of the bankrupt right.
Kreibichs tone was that Of Crispien
and Levi. AS a Communist, Kreibfch
is politically and innerly bankrupt.
Kreibich and Rutchik represent the
right dangers in Czecho-Slovakia, Just
as Brandler, Rosmer and Souvarine
represent the right dangers on an In
ternational scale.
Kreibich has broken his inner con-
nections with the Comintern. The
speaker fears that Kreibich's present
visit in Moscow is his last one. He
warns Kreibich that the eleventh hour
has arrived for him. s
The matter of Vercik has been de-
cided by the International Commission

partial sterilization of capitalism has
given rise to an orgy of jubilation In
the bourgeois and social democratic
camps. The vorwaerts wrote: It is

look upon the session OF the executive
not as a sterilization conference Of
capitalism, but as upon the Bolsheviz-
alton session of the Comintern.
1--WE must not draw any false and
exaggerated conclusions from the par
tial sterilization of capitalism. Since
1917 we are living in the period Of
imperialism, and partial occurrences
do not change the situation as a whole.
We must not confuse the world with
Europe, or Europe with Germany. No
exaggerated conclusions should be
drawn from the German sterilization.
1t is true that in Germany there is no
acute revolutionary situation, yet the
world situation remains effectively
revolutionary.
"VTTE must learn to see the difference
w between the class struggle in
the pre-war period and the class strug-
gle after the war. The present class
struggles are permeated with ele-
ments of civil war-even in the stab
ilization period. Imperialism reigns
but its domination is limited by its
fear Of the proletarian vanguard and
the Comintern.
Even Lloyd George considers Eng
lands position bad, and in case no
improvement sets mas catastrophe.
In France there is a crisis; in the
Balkan countries there is not a sign
of sterilization; and in Germany there
are signs Of a revival in the labor
movement. despite the Dawes plan.'
in Russia, there was between 1907

ognized the Importance of the subjec-

Communist Parties. During revolu-
tionary periods, the pace of history is
a quicker one.
after the revolutions of 1S4S, 1871,
1905, the working class was crushed.
At present there is no crushed work
ing class, only the revolutionary fore
es are not yet mature.

Wall Street knights Gales

Wall Street has given the Gales government
Of Mexico its final approval. 1t has noted his
courtly demeanor as he knelt before it, tapped him
on the shoulder with its dripping blade and babe
him rise-a full-fedged knight of American i'm
perialism.
Capitalist dispatches tell of an interview handed
out by Ambassador Sherman. This Wall Street
tool gives Gales high praise:
President cales is the right for the right
place.
From the satisfactory Interview / had with him
this week convinced that he Is attempting
conseentiously fearlessly and theoretically to
~ out the program which he outlined at the begin
ming Of his administration In December.
He is a most satisfactory official to treat with
because he knows his mind, makes decisions quick
w. acts above board and says exactly what he
means One knows where he stands in dealing with
General cass. He keeps waiting when
delay is not necessary.
Part of the program referred to consists Of hand
ing the Mexican railways over to Wall Street in
vestors, breaking up the railwaymen's union turn
ing over the natural resources of Mexico, notably
oil wells, mines and water power, to American
plunderers and preventing the breaking up of the
big estates for the benefit of the peasants.
On the same day that the interview with the
American ambassador appears is another news
item announcing that all interests developing new
oil wells in the vicinity of Mexico City will be re
lieved of taxation.
Gales has the full support of the official Mexi
can labor movement which means that the official
dom of the American Federation of Labor did a
good job at Ell Paso and that, betrayed by their
leaders, the Mexican masses have a long, hard
struggle ahead of them-a struggle in which most
of their energy will be absorbed by the needed
effort to maintain living standards slightly above
the level of Digger Indian.
With the Panama Canal, great American naval
and military base, to the south of them, and the
tremendous weight of the United States pressing
on them from the north, the Mexican people are
caught in wise. The pressure will squeeze
from them untold wealth-copper, lumber, oil and
golden streams of interest on the usurious loans
forced upon the Mexican government.
The labor takers of Mexico and America will
share in the loot and weld the chains little tighter
on the Mexican workers whenever Wall Street so
orders
Under these circumstances the work of the Pan
American Anti-Imperialist League becomes of
major Importance. It's fight is for the freedom not
alone of the Mexican workers, but of the tOiling
millions of Central and South America and the
American workers strangled and sold by the i'm
perialist tools in our labor movement.

War on Little TyrGntS

One Of the demands of the striking clothing
workers in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is of more
than usual interest-that fOremen using abusive
language to workers be discharged.
1t may be an oversight on our part, but we do
not recall having seen such clause in strike de
mands for long, long time. That it has been in
cluded in theirs by the Bridgeport workers shows
that there is at last recognition of the increasing
tendency towards tyranny in American industry.
1t is time the underlngs of the big bosses were
handed little of their own medicine.
Modern industry strives deliberately to create
a slave state of mind in the workers, and foremen
and superintendent supposed to help this
along by keeping the workers in their place. Re
sentiment of abuse from foremen and straw bosses
is punished by instant discharge This serves to
COW the rest of the workers and the tyranny in
creases.
just as important as higher wages and shorter
hours is nsistence by workers that they be treated
human beings. Machine industry takes enough
toll from the bodies of workers without their
misery being added to by indignities carefully
calculated to make them feel inferior to the boss
ana his satellites.
Let the workers reverse the process fire a few
foremen and the rest of the slave-drvers will watch
their step for while at least.
