DAILY WORKER
WILL TELL OF
THE FAR EAST
What Do Its Problems
Mean to You?
By HARRISON GEORGE.

To many workers of America the
gigantic upheaval in China and the
labor movement of the Far East,
means little or nothing. To the re-
dictionary bureaucrats of the trade
unions, whose every action is calculat-
ed upon their common interest with
the interests. Of American imperialist
penetration and domination of the
Orient, the problem of Far Eastern
labor is a problem of deceit and be-
trayal, just as the Pan-American Fed
Grafton of Labor operates upon basis
Of Yankee imperialism in Latin-Amer-
lea, seeing eye, TO eye with it, applaud
ing its expansion and ready to furnish
the proper fig-leaf of international
harmony" to- cover the naked force
of the United States armed forces.
Monroe ppctrine of Labor"
The Ell Paso convention of the Am
erican Federation of Labor declared
that the accord between the leaders
, of the Mexican. Confederation of
Labor &C. R. %. M and the bureau
crazy of A. f. of L. was Monroe
Doctrine of Labor" Wall street and
Gompers have the same significance
to Latin-American labor; the first ex
ploits them; the second presents them
with a philosophy of submission to
this exploitation disguised as 'har-
mony."
1t is in this spirit that William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor, wrote in the
American Federationist" for October:
American labor properly turns
its mind upon labor problems of
the Pacific"
The social-democracy, the right
wing of the working class movement
has an elaborate philosophy about the
Far East and all other backward"
nations, This was expressed by both
Ludwig Lore and an l. w. w. editor,
John Gahan. in the past few months,
commenting upon the possibility and
even the adyisability of the Chinese
people freeing themselves from foreign
Imperialism by a nationalist revOlu-
| tion
This social democratic idea is that
no revolution IS possible or even ad-
visable. until The mechanical develop
ment of China by outside imperialist
capital, has developed a proletariat
numerically dominant over the peas
ant masses and the remnants of feu-
dalism. This view not only shuts it's
eyes to the B6ishevik revolution, to
the feminist theory. Of alliance be-
tween the proIetariat and the peas
antry, but is an objective support
of capitalist Imperialism, giving it's
most savage hiassacres and most
brutal exploitation of the workers of
the Far East, the shining protection
of social philosophy and "scienti-
fic" justification.
The COMMUNIST Workers. View.
To, the workers in the American
shops, mines and mills, the hypocriti-
cal words Of the Greens, and the
! philistine phrases of the Lores and
the Gahans must be exposed and ex-
planned. Against them must be placed
the Communist program of unity in
open struggle against Imperialism of
the workers of the east and west.
The best way of doing this is in
i drawing graphic picture of the labor
movement of the Far East, it's prob
lens, its form and content. and how
it is hewing the way thru all obstacles
to proletaarian emancipation. The
Trade Union Educational League, the
north American section of the Red
International of Labor Unions, has re-
ceived a series of excellent articles
on the labor movement of the Far
East, and the first of this series is
published today IN the DAILY WORK
Err on the T. U.IE9L. page. The series
begins with several articles upon
Chinese labor and the national move
