THE aircraft investigation at Wash
4 ington was a two-days' wonder
which means that of all the sessions
Of the investigating board, those two
days when Col. Billy Mitchell was on
the witness stand, boasting and snarl-
ing and splitting out sarcastic cpl
grams at the expense of his pot-bel-
lied superiors of the army and navy,
were the only ones that counted. And
they were a merc corable two days! In

ed that something significant was TAX

scandal of it and the fact that Col
Billey is typical matinee idol of

yet because it has become policy now
to play up all things military-but be-
cause the testimony of the flashy,
vulgar colonel was true talk which
implies new stage in modern war

breath away.

- erals: Take your spurs off and

penetration, and for range" He fore
tells the use Of yet more murderous
explosives and poison gases, with the
all-seeing airplane dominating sea and
land, sinking ships, destroying supply
depots, railroads and canals, and fore

the simple process of dropping tons
of explosives upon the inhabitants.

L tempt to patch together the brok-
en- fragments of the clerical liberal
ministry. In vainl Thereupon the
catholic party formed a united min
istry, thanks to the hostile attitude
of the other parties, fell on the first
day of its existence
But the formation of this ephemeral
cabinet which had been formed by
the catholic minister gVandevyvere
had one chief object that of proving
to the. chamber itself the impossibility
of constructing a uniform cabinet
whether catholic or socialist, and
further to demonstrate in public de-
bate that the program OF the Vande-
vyvere cabinet and the government
program advocated by the special de-
mocrats are in essentials as like as
two peas.
After Max, the mayor of Brussels,
had acted as mediator, Poullet, who
had been minister in the Theunis
cabinet, undertook the mission of
forming cabinet and, after a great
deal of bargaining, subterfuges and
roundabout ways, arrived at the aim
which had been pursued for more
than ten weeks. A catholic-socialist
government was formed. Twelve
ministries are provided for, five cath.

catholic party had raised an objec-

the "non-democrats" would not have
had enough influence.
The daily worker., 1925-10-13

AS matter of fact, in spite of the
three party aspect, which was frau
dulently impaired to the Poullet cabi-
net by the introduction of the ''liber-
alizing' members, the government is
actually a catholic-socialist govern
ment.
And the long comedy of the form
alton Of a democratic" government
ends with the formation of a cabinet
which was constructed thanks to the
whole catholic right entering into a
coalition with the social democrats.
And vice versa.
The true character of this new gov
erDment is revealed by the following
simple statement; of the five catholic
ministers, four were members of the
previous Theunis cabinet and support
ed its external and internal policy.
The fifth catholic minister, Jansen is
director of the Banque Rationale de
Belgique. 1t was he who was COM
missioned by the league of nations
to report on the plans for the ''re-
construction of Austria which led
to the enslavement of the Austrian
people for the benefit of international
finance.

to the combination created by Poul-

Read the Militant
Progressive Barber" F"
Just OFF the Press

The Progressive Barber, one of the
livest and most brilliant of the t. U.
E. L. papers, is off the press. It is a
real BARRIERS paper with just enough
general trade union news to connect
it with the general left wing move
ment in this country. The makeup
is excellent.
This issue of the fighting little pa
per contains many features which are
as rule, lacking in all the other
papers. Barberities by Larry Val
lance presents the humorous side of
the BARRIERS activities in a very ori-
ginal manner. The articles on the
history of the barber trade by Joseph
Giganti are tremendously interesting
and are read with avidity by the bar
bers. The cartoons appearing In this
issue tell the story of the Chicago
expulsions. Contributions from read
ers demonstrate how wide-awake bar
bers view the situation in their union.
1t leads the fight of the left wing
in the BARRIERS unions thruout the
country. and its method of gaining in
formation Of conditions among bar
bers is well developed and efficient.
The Progressive Barber is a real
left wing paper, and of interest not
only to the BARRIERS, but to all in the
left wing movement Of this country.

From the above you will realize
that the left wing so far was not the
left wing organization a la Profintern,

all existing trade unions. However,

left wing organization within couple
of months.
At the present time we are engaged,
in campaigns as follows: The labor

the Soviet Russian trade union de-

shall be class party, mass party,

United States that turned the scale
against her. Today, the industrialism
II the United States dominates the
capitalist world. American Industrial
ism will be able to forge whatever
weapons may be necessary for its pur-
poses.
Already, according to the testimony
Of Admiral Moffett, this country has
he most powerful air force in the
world. If the point of view of Col.
Mitchell prevails, as it will prevail
ultimately, American capitalist indus
trialism will set out to become undis-
puted mistress of the air" And this
precisely because that same indus
trialism is fighting for monopolization
and control in Asia, in Latin-America
and in Europe-because such a policy
means inevitable war-because that is
the whole method of modern imper-
ialist competition on a world scale.
Col. Mitchell realizes all this, at
least as much as it is necessary for a
soldier to realize it. That is the diff
ference between him and the pettifog-
ging bureaucrats Of the army and
navy departments, who still move
within the narrow circle of an out
worn routine, clinging to it in des-
peration because they sense that they
will be left behind and will not be
able to maintain themselves in the
new world that Billy Mitchell speaks
of so familiarly.
DILLY MITCHELL is to be court
- martialed. No doubt he will be
bounded out of the army, amid the
lamentations of the liberals" and so
cialists of all shades, who are already
bemoaning the unjust fate of this
young martyr of reform" But the
liberals and socialists can cease wor-
rying. Billy Mitchells career is not
at an end; it is just beginning. Billy
Mitchell will be taken care of. He
will be given ample opportunity to
complete the revolution which he has
started. Five seconds after he is out
of the army his figure will loom por-
tentously across the political horizon
of these United States. Billy Mitchell
has still more valuable services to
give to American Imperialism.

TT has taken 73 days to arrive at the
L formation of a government which
declares that it is supported by a
large and reliable majority in both
the chamber and the senate, in other
words, the formation of a strong gov
ernment. Doubtless the new govern
ment will remain in existence as long
as the social democrats, who belong
to it, renounce the defense of the in
terests of the proletariat.
The election of April .5, 1925. brot
about significant changes in the rep
resentation of the political parties,
and it cannot be denied that taken
as a whole, the mass of the workers
explicitly voted for the left.
The rapid collapse of the hopes
which were expressed by the last bal
lot of the electors, will not be less
marked.
From 1921-1923, the clerical-liberal
government pursued cle.-' and open
reactionary policy, supported by the
Catholic right and by the liberal
party.
THE most characteristic factors" OF
L this policy are participation in the
criminal adventure in the Ruhr, in
common with Poincare, the attempt to
prohibit the legal existence of the
Communist Party (the so-called Com
munist plot against the security of the
state, March, 1921, the crushing of
the railway strike by illegal mobiliza-
.tion of the strikers, and the persecu-
tion of the active elements in May,
1928; the raising of the heavy taxes
with which the workers are burden
ed; a general policy of limitation of
expenses" to the disadvantage of the
proletariat in order to restore equili-
brium in the budget-in vain by the
bye!
The result of the election, which re-
duced the liberal representatives by
more than one-third and cost the cleri.
calls one seat, is a condemnation Of
the policy pursued by the clerical Ii.
beral government. The social demo
cratic party was the great beneficiary
Of the discomfort with the policy Of
the Theunis ministry, which had ac-
cumulated among the proletarian and
petty bourgeois masses.
The crushed liberal party declared
that they would not take part in the
formation OF a new minlstery, they
prefer TO be once more in the parlia-
mentary opposition, doubtless, in the
hope that they would again acquire
electoral virginity.
Thereupon truly murderous game
with combinations of ministries was
witnessed. The social democrats
whose leader, Emile Vandervelde had
been commissioned to form minis
try, having convinced themselves ol
the impossibility Of splitting off some
elements from the groups of the cler-
icals and liberals which would have
been prepared to participate IN gov.
ernment of the socialist left against
