Still at the Same Task

Nothing more amusing to the political observer
has appeared in the daily press for quite some
time, than an editorial in a recent issue of the
Milwaukee Leader, on the problem of peace in
Europe. According to the scribe, the Geneva pro-
tocol Of Ramsay Macdonald and Edouard Herriot.
is anything but lucky.
At the time this famous document was framed,
there was socialist government in England, and
a semi-socialist government in Germany. Herriot,
the radicalsocialist premier of France felt some
what cocky in such goodly company.
But thanks to the bourgeois democracy at whose
shrine our capitalistic socialists worship, Ramsay
is now in Bermuda doing his little bit for the
Empire as if nothing had happened and Herriot
is more less left in the soup The Kaiser is
getting out his clean shirt preparatory to march
ing back to his throne.
Peace in Europe is in desperate, straits. There
fore the executive committee of the Socialist and
Labor International met in Brussels recently to
see what they could do about it. But instead Of
having a peace conference, the socialists of the
French capitalist government began to blame his
British majestys socialists for their attitude to-
wards the peace protocol Leon Blum declared that
Herriot had done his share for peace by appoint
ing the socialist Paul Boncour a member of the
league of nations council to work for the protocol
If the other governments refused to accept this
pact, Herriot would have to fall back on military
alliances.
: British representative said that it was impos-
sible at this time to get British public opinion
interested in saving France from attack. England
is not threatened with war and is not anxious to
be drawn into another war to protect another
nation. The British navy would never again be
used to enforce blockade for the benefit of an
other warning country.
The British labor party declared John Bulbs
socialist is to having England play the role
of international policeman unless the United
States shared the cost.
The British and French socialists argued in
favor of the policy of their respective governments
and the Socialist and Labor International is today
as it was during the war; torn to pieces by the
conflicting interests of the capitalists of the various
nations having representation on the councils of
the fake international
The debate showed Blum the French socialist
defending the acts of the French capitalist premier
Herriot, while Josiah Wedgwood, the Briton stood
up for the anti-French policy of the tory govern
ment. Back in London he might criticise Stan
ley Baldwin, for factiona reasons but in Brussels
he was the staunch imperialist.
The Socialist and Labor international is but the
creature of the capitalists 1t is not an instrument
of peace. 1t will do whatever it's owners COM
mand. There is only one international political
party in the world today that is making for peace
1t is the Communist International which points
talism.
