Welcome, Colonies!
By ED Err G A RID

The Colonies come to our town
\ headin' the A. A.
We can not drug 'em far down,
But can thump 'em ev'ry day.
They'll wish they never hit town
And be glad to get away.
Treat 'em rough's the idea;
This isn't X. c. here.
The Tribe has always beat them
Now's no time for foolish fear.
The Injuns will lnistreat them
While the fans look on and cheer.
It's true they hit and field, too
Mccarthy has club.
But so has Bush an outfit
That can give them all rub.
The local fans don't doubt it,
And the word they use is DRUB.
T has been some time since
there has been such d run
away race in the Associa-
ton as put across by the Ken
lucky boys. The Colonels are
simply romping home with no
signs Of let-up. Their minds

Louisville upset the dope and

of the best outfits he ever owned
that year. but Louisville handed

Max Bishop, second basemen

of the game and Jack Bentley,
now with the Giants, complained
of a sore arm and could not
pitch. That's the abb.
Kansas City and st. Paul clubs
have beaten the Orioles in post

defeated the Saints twice. Last
season st. Paul won after ten
games had been played and every
one had forgotten about the Sc

It was a f1ve-out.of affair.

This year the series looks bet

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-12
The Nature of Future Warfare

excludes the other. How does this
arise? This arises from the class
nature of the Soviet state.
Our state is organized both politi-
cally and economically on a quite
different basis from the bourgeois
world surrounding us. A profound and
irreconcilable contradiction hes at the
basis of our economic and political
organization and the organization of
bourgeois states, and once this con-
tradiction commences to be solved by
military methodism, it will lead to
sharp, profound and in all probability
long drawn-out encounter. This latter
factor is in the first place connected
with the fact that we ourselves, our
Soviet Union, represent very palpablo
dimensions both from the point of
view of the size of the population
and also from the point of view of our
economic resources. On the other
hand we will have against US all or
a considerable part of the bourgeois
capitalist world, which in turn can
raise tremendous forces against us.
That is the reason why, when it is
question Of serious encounter, this
can hardly be decided within a short
space of time by Knockout blow.
The third factor which influences
the nature of future warfare in a
decisive manner is the factor of tech
nique.
The experience of the imperialist
war has shown what a tremendous
role technique will play on the future
fields Of battle. The development of
aviation, chemistry and wireless tele-
graphy, etc, open up very wide per-
spectives in this connection. At the
present moment it is even difficult for
us to picture how the army which
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-12

has proceeded the furthest ahead
along the path of technical develop
ment in bourgeois countries, will
emerge from the field of future
battles. The weapons they will use
will probably be very different from
what we have seen during the i'm
perialist war. The war of the future
will to very large extent, if not
entirely, be war of machines. This
fact again brings us face to face with
number of new demands.
Finally, the fourth factor which in
my opinion will characterize our fu-
ture war is the factor of mass for
nations. l consider that once it is a
question of deciding serious conflicts,
all the forces at the disposition Of
the combatants will be thrown into
the struggle. At any rate, we must
not picture future struggles as far as
we are concerned, as though we may
be able to get along with small armed
forces, without touching the wido
masses Of the population and without
Harvesting all the resources at the
command of the state. I say: AT
any rate-as far as we are concerned"
because with regard to bourgeois ar
mics, admit that the fact Of the
internal class struggle becoming more
acute, may compel them to resort not
to the arming of the entire mass of
the population, but to placing all their
hopes in technique. We may observe
signs of this even at the present
moment. But even under such condi-
tions they will at the same time
bring forward such forces which we
will be able to fight with by bringing
armed masses on the scene.
The above are in my opinion, com

Coolidge Is Afraid of the Black Man

seek to guarantee to all our inhabi-
tants the right to live their own
lives under the protection of the
public law. -. This does not in
cIude any licence to. violate the
established customs which have
long had the sanction of enIighten-
ed society"
A ND just what are these customs?
= Why, segregation, of course, and
inferior education, and inferior homes,
and all of the practices which make
up the burden Of social inequality
that degrades the Negro race! These
are the established customs" of
which Coolidge is speaking. These
are the practices which he is so eager
to have us realize are fundamental
to our present society. The custom
of forbidding the Negro to live except
in narrow section of the cities, and
the practice of mobbing a Negro who
dares to go outside of this pale-as a
mob so recently attacked a Negro
physician in Detroit whose home was
outside of the prescribed limits
these customs are not injustices,-
they are established customs which
nave long had the sanction of enlight-
ened society"
President Coolidge, in his eager
ness not to ALLEVIATE any of the votes
of the votes of the race-proud and
prejudiced middle-class whites, and
in the hope of driving a wedge into
the solidly democratic south, is fol
lowing in the footsteps of President
Harding, another representative Of
this same party, who in October.
1922, committed himself as "uncom-
promisingly against every suggestion
of social equality"
THE average white worker, uncon-
4 scious of the burdens under which
his fellow workers of the Negro race
suffer, and the average Negro worker,
unless he is trained to take note Of
delicate shades of meaning implied in
a phrase, may see nothing significant
in Coolidge's wording. But the south
ern cracker, the northern real-estate
dealer, and others whose profits de-
pend upon keeping the Negro down,
will hear and understand.
The Negro, says Coolidge, should
be protected from all violence" But
a little later on he adds that the
fright (of Negroes) to live their own
lives. does not include any IL

cense to injure others materially,
physically, morally. :"
Clever phrasing! The implication
is that the Negroes. as a race, are
especially liable to do physical and
material injury to others-that they
have in their character something
brutal, something beastly, which
makes it necessary for the president
to remind them that they must keep
this instinct in check. And it is just
this belief, which Coolidge has
strengthened by his message, which
is the basis for the lynchings and
burnings and hangings of the south.
1t is just this damnable lie, driven
into the consciousness of the whites
by a selfish master class which
thrives on conflict between races,
which gives the excuse for the terror
ization of the Negro in the southern
states. Does a Negro show undue
self-respect, does he assert his rights
in way displeasing to the masters?
Then how easy it is to raise the cry
that he has attacked a white girl,
no wsimple it is with this lie to gather
the mobs that will do away with this
self-assertive Negrol
No, President Coolidge does not
mean to take from the race-hating
crackers their excuse for terroriza-
ton.
"PUT," says Coolidge, sit does mean
the full right to liberty and
equality before the law" Notice that
phrase, "before the law" There is
a definite line drawn between civil
and social equality. But we know too
well that it is not necessary to make
law and to have that law placed
upon the statute books in order that
a nasty discriminatory practise may
be put into effect thruout the whole
social system. There is no lawn
most states-requiring Negroes to
live in certain parts of the town. But
the law can and does protect the
real estate dealer in his privilege of
choosing his own customers. And
there is a lava very definite law
which will bring to trial a Negro
who, ;likeaDr. Sweet of Detroit, fires
to protect his own life and the lives
of his family from the attacks of a
mob.
But even in the case of laws which
definitely accord equal rights to the
races-there are so many loop-holes
thru which the race-hating lawyer may

CALVIN COOLIDGE. in his message
~ to the congress just opening its
session in Washington, saw fit to in
clude-at the very end of the docu-
ment-a few words about the group
which of all the exploited working
class of the United States is the most
exploited, the most persecuted-th
workers of the Negro race.
WHAT Coolidge had to say about
w the Negro in America is of inn
portance, not as an expression of the
personal opinion of Coolidge-for it is
not as an expression of his belief that
the president sends this annual mes
sage to congress-but as indicating
the trend of opinion and the probable
course of action of the group of bank
ers and industrial capitalists who are
behind this and every other express
4 sion of the government. 1t is particu-
larly significant as indicating the
which for over sixty years has been
held up to the Negro race as its only
possible saviour, the republican party.
A T first glance, the few sentences
"A which the message devotes to the
question of the Negro workers are
without definite meaning. They seem
at first--to consist of few doubt
full compliments, few meaningless
distractions, and few half-hearted
promises, to which no one need pay
much attention.
But look further. For every promise
made to the Negro workers, some
phrase is brought in little later
which definitely repudiates that pro-
mise! What Coolidge gives to the
Negroes with one hand, he promptly
takes away with the other.
Then look once more. There is not
only a negation of every promise
made, but there is actually a threat,
politely yelled, but none the less a
threat, that the government will not
tolerate any attempt on the part of
Negro workers to do away with the
abuses from which they suffer. And
there is very definite assertion that
the party for which Coolidge speaks
does not for a moment consider the
Negro as worthy of real freedom or
real equality.

tons" says the message, "that they

WHAT will be the nature of future
w wars?
The work done by the Military
Scientific Societies of the Union Of
Socialist Soviet Republics and in gen.
eral accomplished by its military
scientifc-theoretical thought already
provides sufficient material for us to
give a fairly exhaustive reply to this
question. The first element determin-
ing the nature of any future war
which the Soviet Union may be com
PEELED to conduct, is it's peculiar So
cialclass nature. The war which the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics
will wage, will not be a national war.
1t will be revolutionary class war.
This means that our army will not
fight for any kind of unconventional
interests, will not fight in order to
conquer or to encroach upon the pro-
perty of other peoples, but in order
to protect the conquests Of our revo-
luton from the attacks of the internal
and external class enemies of the
proletariat. This factor is reflected in
our entire CONSTITUTIONAL work. It is
just this which determines the worker
and peasant class nature of our army.
1t permeates the entire system of our
organization, and finds its reflection
in the methods Of training and teach
ing in the army and in a number Of
other practical results.
Another characteristic of future
wars will be their all-embracng and
decisive nature. There will not be a
clash over trides which can be quickly
solved No, the future war will be
between two different social-political
and economic systems, each of which

crawl. A law in Louisiana declares
that there must be no out-and-out
discrimination between any one group
of people and any other group. But
another law, setting off distinct Sec
ton of the city Of New Orleans for
Negroes, is held to be not in conflict
with the first, because-if Negroes
are not allowed to buy homes in the
white district, why, neither are whites
allowed to buy homes in the Negro
district!
No. If the law means anything at
all to the Negro, it is significant, not
for the protection it is supposed to
afford him from injustice, but for its
work as an instrument of this very
injustice.
ONE thing more: Coolidge is care
~ full to tell the Negroes that they
have no right to "incite revolution"
This is a new phrase in reference
to the Negroes. No former president
has found it necessary to issue
warning against "inciting revolution"
among the Negro race. And to what
does the phrase refer? To nothing
less than the historic event in the
life Of the Negro race, the assembling
together in October of this year of
a group of men and women, represen-
ting definite groups Of Negro work
ers, to consider their problems in the
light Of clear reason and to plan def
mite and concrete steps to do away
with these injustices. Coolidge Is re.
ferring to the American Negro Labor
Congress, branded by the old parties
as tool of the reds"
Coolidge and his party find it ne
cessary to issue a warning to the
Negro race. They find this warning
necessary because the first Negro
Labor Congress repudiated forever
the policy of going to the white
master, hat in hand, to beg for a few
crumbs from this masters table. The
Negro Labor Congress, say its leaders,
will not wait upon the president to
put into his message a few half
promises which need never be kept.
They do not need the sympathy and
kindness" which Coolidge offers them.
They have declared their intention to
fight their own battles, to take what
is their hard-won right. And, if the
Negro Labor Congress remains true
to its pledge, no warning" or threat
from Coolidge and his party will
cause them to turn back.

Wittners counsel seemed confident

of the plaintiff was to overcome any
possible objections. He said that the

This answer Is taken up largely with
a fiat denial that Ballou and Hay per-

matter showing disrespect of the Holy
Bible. The teaching of ordinary
scientific facts and theories, such as
are commonly taught in high schools
all over the United States, il is aver

Protest Factor in Drop.

IN some quarters protests of Amer
lean manufacturers to Great Britain
were considered a factor in the de-
cline.
Discussion in the House of Com
mons yesterday seemed to give little
nope for immediate modification of
The Stevenson restriction scheme. A
protest against this scheme has been
made by Ambassador Houghton in
behalf of American manufacturers.
L. 5. Amery, the colonial secretary
sald that only after careful inquiry
would it be decided to modify the
scheme. He said there was nothing
TO indicate that the present high level
OF prices was anything but temporary.
j. II. Thomas. former labor colonial
secretary, said that last year specu-
iators deliberately jockeyed the mar
ket TO prevent increased importation
OF rubber from the British colonies
The United States during the war had
not charged the British. less than cost
Tor commodities, he said. and Great
Britain now could not be expected 10
sell rubber at less than cost.
