DESPITE the optimism disseminat-
ed by British and French states
men over the outcome at Locarno,
the French colonial war in Syria car
ries the unrest of another world war.
If the revolt in Syria succeeds, the
whole mandate policy of the league OF
nations falls. 1t not only means the
loss of Syria to France, but also seri-
ously endangers the English control
over Irak. Thus it is to the interest
of Britain to prevent the liberation of
Syria as a league mandate. That does
not necessarily mean that Britain will
aid France to maintain control. On
the contrary it is probable that Bri-
tain will endeavor to take advantage
of the Syrian revolt to charge France
with incompetency in the admins
tration Of the Syrian mandate.
The mandates themselves, instead
of preventing war are the sources of
new wars This is plain as day when
the imperialist forces that motivated
the struggle to secure mandates are
known. During the progress of the
war when the entente powers were
indulging in expression of the most
exalted sentiments regarding the un-
selfish motives involved, the founda-
tion for future conflicts were laid.
TN the struggle against Turkey, dur
ing the world war, there had to be
an understanding between Britain
and France concerning the spoils of
a hoped-for-victory. In 1916, such a
treaty was completed, under the
terms of which France was granted

committal on the ruthlessness of the
French. That is because Britain it.
self may be forced to step in and aid
in crushing the revolt.
But 1t does not mean that France
will continue to exercise the mandate
of the league. The last assembly
(sixth) of the league of nations was
a British triumph. Britain ousted
France from the domination of the
league.
While British troops are heavily
concentrated in Palestine, on the bor-
der Of Syria, preparatory to invading
the territory If the situation becomes
menacing, it will also use the league
machinery to prepare the way for eli
minating France ander the terms Of
the treaty of Versailles on the
grounds that France Is incapable Of
carrying out the mandate.
Tho these mandates are enforced
for the benefit of given nations and
by the favored nation, the nations are
responsible to the league and theore-
tically are carrying them out as the
representative of the league. In case
any nation fails in carrying out it's
mandate, then the league can revoke
it and place another nation in charge
of the territory.
ORANGE is desperate in face of this
4 menace and therefore, is using all
the frightfulness of modern warfare

ical party serving their interests.
This is particularly borne out by the
recent experience Of the teachers at
the hands of both political parties in
the last salary campaign where the
moderate demands of the teachers
were brushed aside without proper
consideration. Only when the teachers
are represented by party of labor,
a labor party, can they hope to have
their interests protected
In spite of every assurance of re-
spect due your organization, we feel
that we cannot fully agree with all
the proposals which you have put
forward in your QUESTIONABLE.
ME favor an elected and paid board
" of education, with labor and
teacher representation. Such a board
should be fiscally independent, in our
opinion. The addition of teacher and
labor representation would afford the
possibility of insuring the welfare of
the teachers and of the children of
the workers of the city, to a greater
extend than under the present board
consisting of business men and
lawyers.
We cannot, however, agree with
Mr.. Waterman when he demands the
elimination of partisan politics from
the schools. We are heart and soul
for partisan politics" in the school,
not the present corrupt system, of
politics in the control Of big business
but rather political control by labor,
through its own chosen representa-
tives. Masking under the guise of
non-partisanship there are hidden the
most insidious forces of the capitalist
class, as typified by Mr.. Waterman.

basis for any fundamental change In
the system of education is the over
throw of the capitalist system and the
substitutionufor it of a workers and

dream Of British imperialism: Cape
to Cairo railway and extension of this
to Calcutta, thus joining the contin-
ent of Africa with that of Asia. The
rapid expansion OF new markets of
the east and the development of in
dustrial capitalism in India, create
this necessity for British imperialism.
France also has imperialist ambi-
tions that come into conflict with
Britain. The struggle over Mosul oil
finds France backing the Turks
against Britain. In Morocco both
France and Britain furnished guns
and ammunition to the Riffs to drive
out Spain
That accomplished there will begin
a struggle for domination between the
two nations. Already French troops
are taking up the struggle that Spain
was losing, in order that France may
intrench itself in northwestern Africa,

that territory.

other agencies of education in the
hands of the wealthy classes exists,
there will be partisanship in favor of
that ruling class.
MFR. Waterman also favors the merit
AVA system for promotion to higher
positions in the educational system.
With this stand, again we cannot
agree. Examinations and merit quail
fieations such as the established by
the board of education and the civil
service board do not preclude the
possibility of the selection of a super
visory lofiicer with a most backward
social viewpoint. Such an officer has
the power to do great harm to both
the children and the teachers over
whom he has control In the selec-
ton OF supervisory officials, we should
favor a system of democratic selec-
ton, supervisors to be selected by
the teachers themselves through a
system of teachers councils.

Dear DR.. Linville:
In answer to the request of the
Teachers Union for a reply to certain
questions, wish to express the stand

herewith are subscribed to by the
other candidates of the Workers Par
ty, to which you have sent your
QUESTIONABLE. Kindly regard this an
swer, threfore, as the viewpoint of
The Workers Party and its candidates.
You have asked the following ques-
tons:
l., Would you, as mayor, favor a
fiscalIy independent board of educa.
ton?
2, Would you endeavor to secure
legislation to create an elected board
of education?
3, Would you take steps to elimi
nate the influence of partisan poll
ties in the administration of the
public schools
f.. Would you strive to build up a
merit system by which the educa
tionally qualified would be promoted
to the higher positions in the school
system, without regard to the polit
ical, religious or racial connections OF
the applicants?
5. Would you, as mayor, favor the
