The European Crisis

The ewes of the world are on Berlin and Paris.
France and Germany are powder magazines and
sparks are flying all over Europe The House Of
Morgan watches developments with an interested
but cynical gaze.
Whatever happens, outside of actual collapse
and revolution is all grist to the Morgan mill.
The cocky victors who have been fooling the
French masses with fairy tales of German gold
that was to liquidate all indebtedness now talk in
humble tones while the German reactionaries show
more and more assurance Over all is the black
pail of the Dawes plan under which the leech-like
municipalities prepare to suck the lifeblOOd Of
the French and German workers
All talk of stability" that magic word with
which the allied capitalists have conjured up
visions of a European slavepen filled with toiling
sweating workers devoid of all power of revolt has
ceased for the time being.
A nationalist government in Germany, repudat-
ing the Versailles treaty and it's territorial ar
rangements in eastern Europe, with a French gov
eminent of the Poincare type, will undoubtedly
mean that war becomes danger of today. Even
tho the nationaists are defeated, their power is
such that any regime other than Communist one,
will be forced to renew with vigor the attempt to
bring back to Germany her lost territories.
That the capitalist class sees war in the Ofing
is indicated by the increase of the Polish army by
10000 electives and by the terror against the
workers in all the states bordering on Russia.
Seven years after the signing of the armistice
and Europe seems ready to burst into flame again.
But war this time means revolution. This is why
relentless offensives are made on the Communists
and the revolutionary sections of the working
class Capitalism is trying to sterilize its infected
body before its internal contradictions rend it
asunder.
The fear of revolution alone prevents the present
European crisis from turning into another holo-
caust.

Emma Gets Poor Results

Prince Hopkins, than whom there is, or was nc
better exponent of the liberal cult in the United
States in the recent issue of Labor Age is editorial
ly intrigued by the adventures, writings and gen
eral activity of Emma Goldman.
Emma is in England at,present and has been
taken up by the intelligentsia. The rude and un
tutored worker will have nothing to do with En-
ma, however.
Like the rest of the counter-revolutonists in the
anarchist and socialist camps, Emma is greatly in
terested in the political prisoners in Russia, but
Prince Hopkins is forced to admit that she is
having little success in arousing British labor to
delegation on Soviet Russia came at a very I'M
fortunate time for the Goldmans and Abramo-
viches. Err
The great bulk Of British labor now sees in the
unity of the Russian and British labor movements
the only real hope for world trade union unity.
Furthermore, the British working class has made
up it's mind that the Russian workers and peasants
have had the right to do anything they have done
to maintain and defend the revolution. Counter
revolutonists now get chill reception from the
British working class no matter from what angle
they attack Soviet Russia.
The Goldman formula for revolution is given by
Hopkins with sympathetic comment. 1t is sup.
posed to represent great achievement from the

what Hopkins calls 'Ethics"-spelling it with a
capital E.
Here it is:
"No revolution can succeed as a factor Of liberia
ton unless the MEANS used to further it be
identical in spirit and tendency with the PUR-
POSE to be achieved"
An intelligent tenyear-old child will see i'm
mediately that this formula, if followed, makes
social revolution impossible. The capitalist class
and their hangers-on must not be treated roughly
oh DEAR no. This would not be in keeping with the
high purpose of social liberation. Even tho the
army and other mercenaries of capitalism fill the
cutters with the blood of murdered workers, the
masses must not lose their collective temper. This
would be very naughty and would defeat the pur-
pose of the revolution
The Goldman formula is about the best counter
revolutionary dope the ruling class has been able
to purchase up to date. 1t explains fully why En-
ma Goldman is welcomed in England by the
apologists for capitalism.

more. She is unable to make but poor returns on

her. Her charm has departed with her virtue

into such matters Of agitation and
propaganda in the schools Ga printed
leahet and several mimeographed
leaflets to be issued) mass protest
meetings and parents meetings to be
called, call for a united front to be
issued, labor unions and labor frater-
nal organizations to be circuralized
and so on. Nor are plans simply on
paper. The. work in the schools has
already begun; mass meetings have
already been arranged for and held,
and in every way, the Y. w. L. and
the, Junior Section are coming to the
front in this anti-religious campaign.
OF the comrades in the league what
we ask is understanding and support.
We want support first of all in the re-
cruiting of our Junior groups. See
that an children you know between
the age of ten and fifteen join the
Junior groups. Secondly, we need
Junior, leaders now more than ever.
Why don't you become Junior
leader? Call at the district office
and talk the matter over. Then we
want every section Of the league 70
form a sect on Junior committee.
This is absolutely necessary. VIII
you help us by seeing that Junior
committee is organized in your Sec
ton? Will you take the initiative?
Comrades, the Junior Section has
great tasks before it, We want you to
see that We carry these tasks out in
the proper manner.

BY ANNA THOMPSON.

The Campaign Against Religious In.
struction in the Public Schools.
MOST comrades have seen in the
4V1 papers-in our own as well as in
the capitalist press-the great amount
of discussion that has been going on
in the educational and religious
worlds in New York on the question
of using the public schools in the field
of religious instruction. Recently the
matter passed beyond the discussion
stage, series of conferences were
held, and actual organizational steps
were taken to utilize the New York
public schools in the work Of inculcat-
ing the working class children of New
York with the religious poison. From
reports we are receiving from our
Junior comrades in the schools this
work is already well on its way. In
growing number of schools, the BIZ
BILE is read and discussed. psalms are
learned and sung, sermons and lee
ture are held on religious texts and so
on. In others, arrangements have
been made for the early dismissal Of
children on certain days on condition
that they Immediately proceed to
places religious schools, Talmud
Terahs, etc. where religious instruc-
ton may be obtained. 1t will not take
long before the whole public school
system becomes perfectly adapted for
these new tasks that the capitalists
have entrusted it with.
OF course, all these proceedings are
direct challenge to our Communist
movement, particularly to the Young
Workers League and its Junior Sec
ton. 1t is the business of our Junior
Section to Immediately start the agi-
tation against religion and against re-
ligious training in the public schools
and become the centers of the protest
movement among hte children-thus
following up the work of propaganda
and agitation with organization work
1t is the business of the Junior Sec
ton, this time in cooperation with the
league and the party, to take the lead
in arousing the young and adult work
ers against this menace of religion in
the schools, to organize this protest
movement, to back up in every way
the school struggle of the Juniors,
which is bound to be very severe, and
in general, to throw into action
against the bosses and their tools, as
large a portion Of the workers as pos
sible. These, in outline, are the ele-
mentary tasks of the communist move
ment in the face Of the present situa-
ton. ur1.- q.
The Junior Section OF the Young
Workers League has nos been behind
hand in its tasks. The District Junior
Committee has already elaborated an
all-round plan OF activity for the
league and the Junior Section in refer
ence to the campaign against religion
and religious training in the schools.
This plan was accepted and discussed
in minute detail by the city executive
committee and detailed plans laid by
this committee for carrying IL into ac-
ton. Beside making arrangements
for such internal activity, (within the
groups) as the enlightenment OF the
Juniors on religion and. the, training

Hindenburg Is Resurrected

Hindenburg is to run for the German presidency
and the socaldemocrats are reaping the reward
of their betrayals. There would be little for to
regret in this it not for the fact that the work
ing class has been mised and disorganized and its
forces weakened by the continual treason of the
social-democracy.
The parties of the big industrialists, the right
and left wing of the nationalsts, and the Bayarian
party have combined behind Hindenburg, according
to the latest dispatches. This group is said to be
able to muster about 100000 votes, while the
Weimar coalition-the socaldemocrats and other
bourgeois parties-are credited with approximately
Ia, 900 votes.
In this situation the Communist Party holds the
balance of power.
Our magazine section tomorrow will carry a
special article the German elections by Ernst
Thaelmann, Communist candidate for the presi-
dency, in which the relation of forces and the pro-
gram Of the German Communist Party is discussed.
