are a guarantee that China will not
be without powerful help If this is
indeed the beginning Of the coming
world conflict.
VIII the American working class face
its duty? One thing is sure: the Amer
lean Communists will do their ut
most to bring the American workers
to face it.
Whether the second world war, cen
tering about Asia, is precipitated early
or late, these stirring events in
China should be a warning against
any foolish dreams Of permanent
stabilization and long period OF
peaceful development of capitalism.
1t should be a warning that If there is
a temporary pause in the development
of the revolutionary world situation,
it is a period in which to build the
Communist parties in all countries as
thoroly and as rapidly as it can be
done. Especially the American party
has this duty. The picture of the
gigantic tasks we have to perform
here in this center of the strongest,
most brutal of capitalist societies, to-
gether with this threat Of the inn
minence of world cataclism, should
stir every American Communist TO
work night and day for the building
of our party to a size and Bolshevik
character more in measure with the
task.

danger of war. The new conference
further proves that the Hague peace
resolutions have done nothing to
change the rivalry in armaments. The
iron arguments of sea, land and air
armaments speak another language
than that of the Hague paper reso-
luton.
THE present step of the I. F. T. U.
L is practical admission that both
it and its representatives on the
league of nations have not checked
the ornaments fever. In spite Of all
the hymns of peace Of the leaders of
the I. F. T. U. and its representatives
on the league of nations, none of the
great powers takes a notice Of the
league of nations and OF the I. f. T.
U. This fact was rendered obvious at
the last session of the league of ma
tions and serves best to expose the
fraud of world peace which has been
carried on hitherto by means of the
league of nations by all its supporters
in the face Of the working masses, 1t
was there that Chamberlain, the Brit
ish foreign minister, rejected the
Geneva protocol, "as it's clauses were
calculated to increase the danger of
war instead of promoting the idea of
peace!" BRAND, the representative of
France in the league of nations, also
used this as an occasion to declare,
that it is quite impossible for the
league of nations to come before the
world at present with the declaration
that it cannot do anything to stop
war"

conceal 1t from the working class?
Simply because: "in no case must
there be a great demonstration similar
to that Of the Hague conference!"
THERE we have the reason for
4 secret diplomacy. The workers Of
all countries must see thru this and
energetically call halt to this ac-
tivity of the Amsterdam trade union
diplomats. Whilst at the Hague con-
ference there were representatives of
the Soviet trade unions present, at the
conference to be now convened by
the International Federation of Trade
Unions only the organizations affili-
ated to the Amsterdam Trade Union
International are to take part Whilst
at the Hague conference there stood
on the agenda the ways and means for
common action against all imperialist
wars, 1t is now sought to prevent this,
because the trade unions of the Soviet
Union serve as a brilliant example in
the active fight ofsthe workers against
all imperialist wars. Whilst at the
Hague congress the trade unions Of
the Soviet Union demanded, instead Of
the proposed paper resolution. the ac-
tive mobilizing of the masses against
armaments, with all the means OF the
class struggle, and common interna-
tional week of agitation against i'm

The daily worker., 1925-06-04
By OTTO (BerIIn)

THE Executive of the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions
has decided, simultaneously with
the disarmament conference to be
held by the league of nations in
Geneva, to arrange in the same
place a conference of the organiza-
tions affiliated to the International
Federation of Trade Unions"
THE disarmament conference" of
1 the league ohnations, and also the
disarmament conference" of the In
ternational Federation of Trade
Unions which is to be held at the
same time, are the effects of definite
causes. What causes? Before all the
fact that all the capitalist states, both
small and great, have commenced a
competition in ornaments which
places that which preceded 1914 com.
pletely in the shade Feverish prep
arations are being made for war by
land, air, and sea. If the storm should
break, then the wholesale slaughter of
1914-191S will appear insignificant in
comparison.
This fact led to the first "disarma-
ment conference" in Washington on
the part of the great powers, as well
as to the Hague peace conference on
the part of the organizations Of the
working class. If the Amsterdam In
ternational now once again convenes
such a conference, it only proves that
the tremendous competition in arma-
ments of all capitalist states has not
been restricted by the Washington dis
armament conference, but that it has
become an ever nearer approaching

The Assassination of Todor Pamtza in Vienna

when the cabinets of Sofia and Bel
grade, who are obviously supported by
Chamberlain, are exerting a shameful
pressure on the small Austrian repub-
lie. They demand nothing more nor
less than the abolition of the right of
asylum at present enjoyed by few
Bulgarian subjects who have escaped
the slaughter in Sofia, Gorna.Djou-
maia and other places.
The murder of Todor Panitza bears
all the marks Of political crime.
The female student, Mencia Car
niciu, who, on May s, during the per-
formance of Peer Gynt in the Burg
Theater, aimed the bullet at the Mace
donian leader, was-as the Official
statement shows-a frequent visitor
of certain NJ Antonov, the chief OF
the press department OF the Bulgarian
embassy in Vienna. M. Antonov was
in the habit Of handing over 10 her the
"remittances" sent to her by her par
ents in Bulgaria. Is not the matter
sufficiently clear7
MENCIA cARNIcIU has declared
N'A that she wanted to punish in Pa
nitza the wicked Macedonian" The

Tchaulev In Milan. Todor Panitza, who
was an old insurgent renowned for

years against the Turkish oppression
and never submitted TO any foreign
yoke, became the real leader Of the
revolutionary peasants In Macedonia.

great powers, weakened by the last
war and fearful of another big con-
fiict at the present time, are not so
able as the Unietd States to throw
the world into q cataolism at this
moment. American capitalism is
bursting with the material for an at
tempt at world conquest. The Chinese
propaganda of resistance has hereto
fore apparently been aimed chiefly at
the British and Japanese imperialists.
Now 1t must inevitably be turned
against the American imperialists
with intense vigor. The Chinese wall
poster cartoons which are stuck up
on every lamp post, door and wall,
picture the foreign imperialists as
turtles. The turtle, to the Chinese,
symboiizes all that is filthiest in
human affairs. Inevitably the Ameri-
can imperialists must be pictured as
The biggest turtle of them all.
How is the American working class
going to respond to the call for mass
murder in China in the clearest pos
sible form of strikebreaking9 Lives
there another Gompers who can per-
suade the American labor movement
to support the massacre of Chinese
workers and peasants in war for
democracy?
MEeu
TIME duty Of the American working
class is to prepare to support the
Chinese workers and the Chinese ma
tionalists against the invasion by
American militarism, and to support
them by every effective means in their
power. A like duty faces the work
ing class of England, the British DOM
inions. France, Italy and Japan. AS
to the Russian working class, it will
do its duty to the full measure, and,
possessed as the Russian workers are.
Of full state power, this will be no
small measure. The now long estab-
lished relations between revolution

| movement of China is supporting the
resistance In a subject colonial or
semi-colonial country, the nationalist
movement may effectively be vast
lys different force from what it is in a
dominant nation, and in the case of
China the nationalist movement is
arrayed against the foreign exploiter
and is under the circumstances a revo-
lutionary force.
The Chinese nationalist movement
has for it's slogans the independence
of China from foreign domination, the
abolition of extra-territorial rights of
the foreign capitalists, the abolition
Of foreign concessions and foreign con
troll of customs.
THE Chinese labor movement-new
4 and glorious phenomenan of the
new epoch!-is directed against the
conditions Of inhuman exploitation by
the capitalists of the cotton mills and
other industries, and these capitalists
are also foreigners. The existence and
militancy of this Industrial labor
movement gives the backbone and en-
sures the dyanmic force of the revolu-
tion.
The fact that the upheaval takes
the form Of a general strike of in
dustrial workers gives the peculiar es-
sence of the present situation. This
is the guarantee that the affair will
be no passing incident, but an endur-
ing movement which leads on without
doubt toward the final crisis Of world
Imperialism.
TT is entirely possible that the United
i States will be called to war in
Asia in the chain of events now oc-
curing. American marines were
landed at Shanghai last Monday. More
warships are on the way.
The direct drawing of the United
States into the situation greatly in
tensifles the probability of war. Other

means the working class has at its
disposal, then the workers in ali
countries must raise their voices and
declare: The question of war prepa,
rations or peace is not an affair of the
International Federation of Trade
Unions but of the whole of the inter.
national working class!
JUST as was the case in the last
= world war of 1914-191S, the whole
working class, without distinction,
will be hit by the coming war. And if
the workers do not wish to let this
mass slaughter sweep over them
while they remain helpless as in 1914
1918, they must act unitedly and with
determination. This requires, at least,
the closest fighting unity and solidar-
ity in this question with the trade
unions of the Soviet Union. For the
Russian working class is threatened
by the war danger promoted by the
ornaments competition of the capt.
talist states, no less than the West
European working class. Their sue
cessful policy in the defensive strug-
gle against all military actions on the
part Of the West European imperial
lists is the best instructor as to how to
exercise practical and impressive in
fluence."
If the working class does not desire
to wade once more thru a sea Of
blood, then it must stretch out a hand
to the Soviet Union and see to 1t that
the international Federation Of Trade
Unions complies with this demand and
establishes close fighting alliance
of the whole working class for the
fight against all military intentions
of the imperialist states.
