Decaying Capitalism
Pointed out by Lenin
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.

TODAY the diplomats of France and Spain planning
to meet in Madrid discuss the problems of Abd-e
Krm leader of the rebel Riffs in North Africa. Decadent
Spanish Imperialism has gone down to defeat before her
African coIonals The French ambitions for empire in the
dark continent with the support of the socialists
in the chamber of deputies back in Paris have suffered
what label impending disaster" The theory now is
where Spain and France have failed separately they
may succeed jointly. Carrying this idea little further
Mussoinis diplomats might also be called in from Fascist
Italy, with few British thrown In for good The
nperaIst front North African situation might then
resemble the defensive lines OF the foreign robbers in rising
China.
the present rulers of the two nations most af
fected France and SPAIN have difficult time overcoming
their eaouses sufficiently to establish any form of
operation They are both jealous Of their place in the SUM-
in North Africa, tho Abd-e-Krm may take it away
from both of them while they continue their squabbes.
These rvares are reflected in the Chinese situation, in
fact everywhere that the world bandits battle each other
for new spheres of influence.
French imperialism wants to send its troops onto
Spanish territory fight AbdeKrim. Even the totteng
rule Of Primo de Rivera at Madrid refuses to join heartily

In addition these contradictions under cap

nations groups nations and the efforts of the So
called civilized nations to hold in bondage the SMALL weak
nations and colonial peoples, there is the added struggle
between capital and labor in the home countries, creating
powerful Communist parties that lead abors march toward
its liberation One of the significant phases of
the North African crisis confronting European imperialism,
is the brilliant attack French capitalism led by the Com

workshops turnout the nation.
With fascist Spain hanging the ropes after an UNI
