Back to the Versailles Treaty

In his speech at Barbecue, former Premier
Poincare informed that part of the worlds popula-
tion that was listening Sunday that the powerful
section of French Imperialism which he represents
will tolerate no Encouragement of the German
frontiers.
The speech was open declaration of the in
tention of the Poincare group to oppose any
weakening of Poland as an ally against either
Russia or Germany 1t was undoubtedly intended
as a notice to Great Britain that France has no
intention of allowing Germany to enter security
agreement that does not recognize the colonial
status of Germany.
Foreign dispatches state that Premier Herriots
new note to the German government will contain
almost verbatim copy of the statements made
by Poincare Sunday e.. that the eastern frontiers
must be guaranteed in the same way as the Rhine
land before any further negotiations with Germany
can progress.
Months Of diplomatic dickering between France
and England have brought the two nations no
nearer agreement. Both countries add to their
ornaments and encourage their allies to do like
wise.
The Versailles treaty is still the basis of the
frontier arrangements. 1t strangles the masses and
keeps the fires of national hatreds burning 1t can
result only in war. b98p
In the meantime every ruling clique jails and
murders Communists who alone expose to the
masses of Europe the plots and counterplots of
the rulers fgc

"WiH Not Harass Business"

Referring to Attorney General Sargent, Wash
ington correspondent of the capitalist press says
attorney General Sargent has exhibited per-
sonality different from that of his predecessors.
From what he has said so far the impression has
been given that he will be firm prosecutor and
law enforcer but that he will not harass business
unnecessarily"
We wish someone would point out how this diff
ferentiates the new attorney general from any of
his predecessors. All of them have been ''frm
prosecutors and law enforcers" when the workers
and their organizations involved, but none
Of them have harassed business unnecessarily or
otherwise.
1t is not the function of an attorney general to
harass anyone but workers. Since 1917 this fact
has been so patent that even the always hopeful
liberal middle class has become somewhat pes
simistic
few big strikes and the record of Daugherty
will be eclipsed by the new "frm prosecutor and
law enforcer."

The Milwaukee Leader and
the MGrxiGnS

The Milwaukee Leader does little but complain
these days. ITS latest whimper is caused by the
Christian Science Monitor which stated in recent
article that the Russian Communists "put the
MARKHAM theories into practice"
The Leader says
'How is it that the Christian Science Monitor
tacity admits that the claims of the Communists to
the title of Marxians and completely ignores the
leading Marxians who have always repudiated the
Communists"
The Leader answers it's own question in another
part of the editorial from which we quote when it
says; "The Communist revolution in Russia was
repudiated by the leading Russian Marxians."
Marxism is a revolutionary method. When it
utilities the breakdown of capitalism for success
full revolution those who repudiate the revolution
naturally repudiate Marxism.
Bourgeois students of Marx can understand this,
but logic has never been strong point of the Mil
waukee Leader.
The enemies of the Russian revolution and of the
working class are not Marxians no matter how
many quotations of Marx they may have memoir
led The test of Marxist is understanding of,
evotion to and participation in all the struggles of
the working class.
When the social-democracy betrayed the workers
it proved that it was not MARKHAM, but antiMarxian
and therefore counterrevolutionary

CzARISTS' ATTEMPT TO
GUST RED FROM THE
RUSSIAN SCHOOL FAILS

A drive of Observation-Disclosures
within the Federation Of Russian
chiIdren's schools of Chicago and
vicinity, to dispIace the superintend-
ent Of the schools, Comrade J. Eber-
gard, who is a Communist, ended
in defeat when the executive COM
mittee voted to sustain comrade
Ebergard by vote of 10 to 9.
The czarist Russians have been
attacking the superintendent and
the Communist members Of the
schools for the past year, since
they have been badly defeated at
the convention of the schools. They
made many attempts to get control
over the schools but failed. In one
instance they attempted to appoint
a czarist general as instructor Of
Russian history. The superintend-
ent blocked this scheme and his
action was sustained by the execu-
tive committee. This was too much
for the counter revoIutionists and
they preferred charges against the
superintendent.
After making careful and deli
berate preparations to Gust him
about a month ago at the meeting
OF the executive committee, they
failed as the vote ended in a tie.
Action was postponed for another
month and in the meantime the
counter-revoIutionist opened up an
attack against the superintendent
and the Communists in general in
the local Russian sheet. The final
meeting was held this Sunday and
they suffered another defeat all
along the line, being beaten on all
important questions. All honest
non-partisan workers who are inte-
rested in the welfare Of the schools
voted with the Communists.

The Lanzutsky Demonstrations

The demonstrations against the murder of Sta
nislav Lanzutsky, Polish Communist worker and
leader, have been successful. In Washington, the
capital of the nation, in Chicago, New York, De-
troit Seattle and dozen other cities the Polish
embassy and the consulates were picketed by work
ers bearing banners with appropriate inscriptions.
The police were on the job as usual There were
arrests-also as usual. The capitalist press gave
much space to pictures and news of the demonstra-
tions apparently with the idea that they were in
some way hurting the Communists.
Hundreds OF thousands of people in the United
States know for the first time of the murderous
acts of the Polish capitalist government, of the
heroic fight of Lanzutsky the for his perse
cution and of the role of the Communist parties

China Bowed to Gar.
"Your protest would have been quite
timely and have had perfectly rea-
sonable grounds twenty years ago,
when the treaty of Portsmouth was be-
ing signed and when the czarist gov
eminent felt itself in China like a
master in his own home and, without
the knowledge of the Chinese govern
ment, ceded to another country the
territories and rights which the car.
list government had itself seized in
Manchuria. However, the Chinese
government not only failed to offer
any opposition to the czarist govern
ment, but by two acts which were
signed between China and Japan in
Picking on the 22nd of December, 1905,
the Chinese government itself recog-
nized all the rights of Japan that had
been coded to the latter by the car
ist government on the strength of the
treaty Of Portsmouth.
Consequently, as early as on and
from Dec. %, 1905, the treaty Of Ports
mouth lost all it's significance as an
international act in any way affecting
the interests of China. Moreover, in
1915, on the strength of an agreement
concluded between China and Japan
directly and without any reference to
the treaty Of Portsmouth, the rights
which, twenty years ago, have been
coded to Japan by the czarist govern
ment, were established on a new for
NAL basis. i may be permitted here to
invite your kind attention to the fact
that those rights which have now ap-
parently caused the protest on your
part we're fixed in 1916 for terms
many times longer than those which
were granted by China to the former
Russian imperial government.

II might indeed welcome your pro-

aforementioned considerations, the

remainst to me to express my sincere
regret at the said protest, addressed

No ImpartiaIity

Even in such disaster as that in southern Hi
nois where tornado destroyed hundreds Of homes
and left thousands destitute, the class struggle
makes its appearance in the relief of the vic
Tins.
Our story yesterday of the conditions in the
storm-strcken district the combination of bankers
and businessmen for the control of relief the rise
in prices of all necessities Of life the clash between
the miners and the red cross, all show the class
interests that will not down.
There is no catastrophe too horrible to be turned
TO the purposes of profit. War, the greatest Of all
curses. is at the time harbinger of prosperity
for the capitalist class.
In the relief Of the distressed in great disasters
there is more mpartalty so far as capitalist
agencies are concerned than in any other avenue
Of its activity. II looks after the profits and the
proftmakerssits soldiery are the ground at once
TO aid in quelling an outbreak Of resentment
The international Workers Aid looks after the
workers and il makes no pretense Of being i'm
partial. Organized principally TO help in strikes
and other struggles of the workers, it knows that
capitalism looks after its own.

WHAT? AN IDEA

AFTER IT MEM
SO Say the Legislators
of Ohio
By A. WAeENKNEcHT.

CLEVELAND, March 30.-The Ohio
legislature is having its eleventh
hour session. 1t has been a good boy,
it has behaved itself wonderfully
these weeks that it's session lasted,
says the Ohio manufacturers associa-
ton.
The yellow dog" contract has not
been voided. Union smashing will
continue along the lines laid down by
those who rule Ohio. Throughout the
state workers seeking employment
will be compelled to sign agreements
pledging themselves not to join Ia
Dor union if they desire to connect
with feed bag a couple of times a
day. The Ohio open shoppers are the
state. They are naming the tune and
paying the Columbus fiddlers.
All, Hal an Idea Loosel
So when these coal, steel, rubber,
pottery barons became afflicted with a
last minute inspiration, and decided.
they'd better have a little more my
country It's of thee" they rushed
long resolution before the legislature,
a resolution which has for its aim hot
footing 1T after a couple of "pinks"
they discovered in several Ohio uni
versities.
The resolution, If passed, will stop
the pay of any professor who has been
publicly active in any socialist, athe-
list, Communist or other organization
of revolutionists. The resolution re-
fers to the /. w. W. and those lib
erals helping it off and on; hits at
the Civil Liberties Union and its de-
Tense of conscientious DIRECTORS; as
sassinates the Committee of 48 for
daring to sit next to- Communists at
the st. Paul convention; exposes
those who helped organize the mon
ster Recognize Soviet Russia meet
ing held at Madison Square Garden in
1919; lauds the labor unions that are
expelling Communists; and grows

Toilette!
Pink Professors Punished.
To a Communist, all this is hash,
Of course. But where there is little
pink smoke there may also be a bit
Of red fire. And the cry that's heard
above and over all this pink trash is
that Bolshevism is being taught in the
Ohio universities. Undoubtedly there
are few progressive professors who
demand the recognition of Soviet Rus
STA, who desire that the workers
experiment" in Soviet Russia be al
lowed to run its course without inter
ference. These professors are going
to be smoked out and, if the resolu-
ton passes, they viii promptly be
told that their wages have been
stopped.
The Ohio manufacturers associa-
ton has no use for the "pinks" as yet.
The day will come when they will put
them to work to try to save the day
for capitalism, much the same as was
done in Germany, and same as those
Of redder hue in the Ohio universities.
