debts to America-al already a source
of gall and NORWOOD.
Director Darling of the Midland
Bank says:
"The pre-war gold standard was for
tunately free from political inter
ference. This cannot be said of the
Federal Reserve banks, or rather the
Federal Reserve Board, which con-
trolls their policy. The Federal Re-
serve Board is practically a political
body sitting in Washington. Are we
then prepared to tie the pound to
what Sir Basil Blackett has called the
chariot wheel of the Federal Re-
server"
The dominant finance capital of
England decided that it had to be
done, and it was done. The doubt, re-
luctance and hesitancy of British
capitalism, reflecting the differences
of interest of the different layers of
the bourgeoisie, are ridden over by
the big bourgeoisie which finds the
step necessary, tho not an unmixed
pleasure.
Communist international Foresees.
E1VEN before this spectacular step
- of opening uplthe gold market of
England to the American bankers, the
Communist International had been
able to give keen analysis of the
rapproachment between the two An
glo-Saxon empress IMPROVEMENT
which is both an embrace and death
grapple. Zinoviev is quoted as saying
in speech to the session Of the en-
larged executive committee OF the
Communist International on March
rs:

world political situation is the reIa-

OF the future. We know these affairs.
With cynical eyes of experience we
pierce the curtains of the new house
hold. There win be trouble there.
The adoption of the gold standard
by England at this time is openly
called in London-"a guarantee to
America" Since when is the adop-
ton by the biggest of imperialist pow
ers of the money standard which is
considered natural to all predatory
world powers-since when is this a
guarantee" to a rival imperialist
power? In a theoretical normal"
time this would not be so, and the
return Of England to the gold stand
ard at some time was always consi-
dered necessary. But, coming now un-
der the existing circumstances, Sir
Alfred Mond, high politician of Great
Britain, says that it will tie the Brit
ish monetary system to that of Amer
lea and will make the London bank
rate subject more than ever before to
the mercy of Wall Street, being a
rash act ito obtain a purely senti-
mental result"

ton of the guests. 1t consists of
5000 900, 900 in gold put at the British
disposal by the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York (by the U. S. govern
ment, in effect), and a credit of $780,
100000 from J. P. Morgan & Co. This
total of s3oO,00O,0OO is three times
the size Of the recent huge loan to
France for sterilization of the franc,
and is the biggest loan ever made to
a foreign government in time of
peace. And It is an addition to about

tionship between England and Amer
lea. The 'optimists,' who see every
thing rosy in the camp of our enemies
and everything black in our own camp,
believe that America can put all
Europe on rations and dominate it.
When doing this they forget the differ
ences between America and England,
they forget that America is playing
the European countries off against
each other. The rapprochement be-
tween England and America is his
torical fact. Both states have con-
servative governments, but neverthe-
less profound differences exist. There
are differences in the question Of
world hegemony, for America has be-
come a creditor of the world. There
Iare differences in respect to Canada,
Australia and Mexico. There are diff
ferences in the oil question, in the
question of ornaments, with respect
to the debts. A fight is being waged
for control of raw materials; there
are even differences with respect to
the Dawes plan. We see an intensi-
fication Of the differences proceeding
parallel with the rapprochement. It
suffices to point to Canada, which is
being Americanized and is slipping out
of England's hands"
The internal differences within
England between the sections of the
bourgeoisie and between the bour-
geoisie and the proletariat, are a
striking factor in this case. The Lon
don Daily News now gives warning
that:

the gold standard will be sharply cri-
ticized by industrialists, who fear the

DOM" asks ]. r. Darling, director of
the London Midland Bank, sis the re-
suit TO be that Great Britain is now
to come under financial, economic and
1t may be political domination of
America?
With these words begins a strug-
gle between the British empire and
the American empire.
And the struggle begins on the very
day Of the happy" celebration of the
joining in holy financial wedlock of
the same two powers. A nice, typical,
bourgeois wedding.
The solemnization occurred last
week. The wedding bells rang out
from the British parliament: Eng
land has adopted the gold Standard
simultaneously the wedding bells
(somewhat muffled in crepe) tolled
from the bank Of England, and loud
and joyfully they rang at New York.
Practically from now on. and Off
cially beginning with the LIST of Janu-
airy. 1925, the British government
pledges itself again to make good
with gold on every piece of paper
money in circulation-or in the vaults
of American bankers. The export Of
gold from England will no longer
be prohibited. For the first time in
ten years-since 1915, when the war
caused England to drop the gold
standard and to put an embargo upon
the export of gold from that country
England is under the gold standard of
exchange.
capitalist England made love to the
beautiful young heiress, capitalist
America. The coy capitalist lady re-
sponded-not too well, perhaps-but
wisely. The gas burned late in the
parlor Of Papa Morgan (for is not J.
p. Morgan truly the Father of his
country"?), and many premises were
given-and who knows how many
kisses? The British young man meant
to keep his independence, as most
young men do. But the American
young lady remembered-and Father
Morgan remembered.
Years passed. But the promises
and kisses were not forgotten.
And then came scene which is not
unusual in this bourgeois world.
Father" Morgan got out his shot
gun. The young fellow, England,
must make good. The shot gun was
held to the head of the young man,
England. And the wedding came last
week-last Tuesday, when England
announced the re-adoption of the gold
standard.
Yes, the young man did "the right
thing" England stood up to the
altar and sorrowfully produced the
golden wedding ring, while Father
Morgan lowered in the background
and fingered the trigger.
Happy Wedding?
THE old men of the international
l. neighborhood smile with toothless
lips, and stroke their boards and say,
Now they will live happily ever az
forwards" Especially Old Man
Kautsky, the benevolent oracle of the
neighboring village of Germany. will
wrinkle his cheeks and say, Eyes, yes.
told you so. Now the thing is done.
They will live in domestic bliss for
ever afterward."
But the young husband of the shot
gun bride was full of conflicting emo
tions when he slipped the golden ring
on the finger Of the willing virago:
Gone is my independence :.

Of easy Divorces" Into the shot gun
