all in this successful conspiracy. The
British king knighted him with the
Order Of the Garter for his success.
He deserves forty thousand British
ladies' garters for this triumph, and
from the point of view Of the British
working class he deserves one gar
ter" of hemp, for his pains
1t is bargain for Morgan, but it is
an attempted guarantee for British
Imperialism against all of the terrors
which threaten the quaking empire. 1t
is an agreement for the complete ma
tional enslavement of Germany-not
only of the working class, but even
on the petty bourgeoisie Of Germany.
It is an arrangement to hold off the
hungry militarists of France from dis
turbing Britain's designs in Europe.
1t is war agreement by which the
cracking British empire is to be de-
Tended by united front" of all i'm
perialist powers. 1t means war
against China, India, the native ma
tionalists of Africa, Syria and Meso-
potamia-and against the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics war in
which British imperialism occupies
the front trench and Wall Street
Washington Imperialism becomes the
supposedly inexhaustible reserve.
GERMANY stood between two
~ choices. Either to become the con-
quered slave of the British-American
plunderbund, or to reach out its hand
to the only nation which could be its
friend-the Soviet Union. Nothing
but an Orientation toward the Soviet
Union could preserve the national in
dependence Of Germany. The bastard
ly treason of the social-democratic
party. Of Germany Immediately after
the war consisted in preventing the
alignment with the Soviet Union; it
continued this role until the time
came when the German bourgeoisie
could rule Germany directly, and then
the German capitalist class took the
helm openly into it's own hands. The
German bourgeoisie at last was able
to decide the choice with the con-
tinued help of the "soeialists'') in
favor of selling the German nation in
to colonial slavery. By the Locarno
golden peace" the German workers
and peasants and also the German
petty bourgeoisie become the slaves
OF British-American finance capital. /.
The German big bourgeoisie, from the
point of view of German national in
dependence, becomes the giIded prosti-
tute of British-American imperialism.
In exchange the German Dourgeoisie
receives a promise of military pro-
lection from the wrath of the Ger
man working class and peasantry.
by this treaty France at last sur
renders its claim as an indie
pendent nation and sinks with bowed
head into the ranks of the subject ma
tions Of British-American imperialism.
For France also there was no other
choice but Russia. The slavery of the
French working class becomes inten-
sihed, and the Dawes plan becomes
the constitution of the French repub-
lie.
PUT all the orders of the garter and
- all the moving picture shows of
the golden peace" cannot conceal the
enslaVement also of the British work
ing class by this triumph of Great
Britain" Not Great Britain. but the
United States chambers to the ton in
the struggle for the world market
The prospect of military free hand
for war against Africans and Asiatic
peoples does not make British fac
tories run, not quiet the temper of
the British working class in unem-
ployment and facing foreign wars.
The morale of the capitalist So
ciety is falling into decay, and
the morale of the working class is be-
ing strengthened. We can't forget
