The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-12-10

spite of the opposition which has al
ready exposed it as a fraud.
On the question of foreign debts he
enumerated those countries that had
settled and those that were in pro-
cess of settling. He expressed a de-
sire to see Europe stabilize all cur
rency, which means returning to the
gold standard so that the debts to the
United States may be reckoned in
terms of gold.
Locarno-His Idea.
Speaking of the results of Locarno,
Coolidge protested to see a great adj
vance toward peace and informed the
drowsy congressman and senators,
THE Locarno agreements were made
by the European countries without
any formal Intervention of America, -
said the message, "altho on July
publicly advocated such agreements
in an address made in Massachusetts.
Some of the senators who heard the
message droned off by the reading
clerk remarked that soon the presi-
dent would be taking credit for every
thing that had ever happened.
World Court Proposal.
They were still more astonished
when in a few moments the message
dealt with the world court and while
advocating adherence to this tribunal,
described by Borah as the back door
to the league of nations, proclaimed
it an American idea.
"A well-established precedent marks
Americas effort to establish a court
of this nature. We took a leading
part in laying the foundation on which
it rests in the establishment of the
Hague court of arbitration. 1t is that
tribunal which dominates the judges
who are elected by the council and
the assembly of the league of ma
TONS"
The question Of the world court
is slated to come up on December II
and at that time will begin the fiercest
battle of the sixty-ninth congress, &C
cording to political observations.
Slams Awakening Negro.
Before concluding his message with
reiteration of his threat to enforce
Industrial conscription by denouncing
'wasteful quarreling over the returns
from industry" and insipid drivel
about willing to work in harmony
With tho ohidipo pprnoea 80 q d;x,;,,,
/ providence" he took a side-swipe a,
Negro workers by declaring that they
had a right to live their own lives
under the protection of the public Law
but that this docs not include any
license to injure others materially
physically, morally, to incite revolu
ton, or to violate the established
customs which have long had the
sanction of enlightened society"
Some of those enlightened customs
are known to millions of Negro work
ers who have seen their fellows mob
bed and burned to death by the "bes
people" The enticing of large mum
bers of Negro workers into industry
is signalized by the president of thc
United States officially recognizing
the revolutionary implications of sucl
migration and warning against in
citing revolution among them.
| AS for the agricultural workers
Coolidge merely repeated in brief re
marks the banalities of Monday,
speech before the fake farm congress,
in Chicago.
Challenge to Workers.
Coolidge's message is a challenge
to the working class of the United
States and to all the suppressed elias
ses now under the domination of Am
erican imperialism. This one docu
ment has accomplished the feat O
embodying the threat of the iron ifs
of the government against all the op
| pressed workers and farmers of thi.
| country as we'll as the colonial work
ers who are struggling to liberat,
themselves from the thralldom o
tollarocracy.
AS against this threat the workinl
class must raise the slogan of a labol
party that will struggle against the
Wall Street monster and its puppe
| in the White House.
