Ebert is dead. The political crisis is more serious
than ever. German economy is chaotic. The allied
governments kill time on the matter of German
disarmament and reparations. Even the Dawes
plan is up in the air.
The socialdemocrat Ebert, Germanys first presi-
dent IN more than six years that he held Office

carried out the socialist policy of dependence upon
capitalism for the reconstruction Of industry and

Unemployed Relief and the
Open Shop

Unemployment councils, organizations of jobless
members of the union formed to formulate and
make demands upon the state for relief have been
declared dual organizations by the Harrington
executive board of District II, Illinois
Come of the miners in the southern Illinois coal
fields have not had work for a year and half,
many have not had job for a year and thousands
are working from one to three days per week.
Alone of the sub-district' conventions held last
October it was reported that one-half of the mem
bers of the local unions were unemployed.
The district and international officers of the
union have done nothing except to boost the hard
roads plans of Governor Small and look the other
way when the coal operators violated the working
conditions of the Jacksonville agreement
The explanation Of this action of the district
executive is found in the acceptance by the Lewis
harrington administration of the plan Of the coal
operators to debate the industry.
At Jacksonville it was agreed that the coal
operators would eliminate small and high cost coal
mines and Lewis was to eliminate some 10000 I'M
employed members of the union. The coal industry
to be brought back to pre-war basis by starv-
ing out the miners
The operators, assured Of the cooperation of the
Lewis machine in weakening the union, have now
prepared an open shop drive in Ohio and western
ries out it's agreement with the coal barons and to
prevent any sort of relief of unemployment brands
unemployed councils as "dual organizations"
The circle is complication Jacksonville, In
dianapolis to Springfield 1t is the mandate of the
bureaucrats of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea that while operators break the written provi
sions of the Jacksonville agreement with immunity
the miners must live up to its unwrtten provisions
and starve themselves to death. They are not al
lowed to form even unemployed councils to force
relief.
This is treachery Of the blacklist kind. 1t is aid
ing the open shop enemy right at the moment when
he is about to begin fire with his heaviest artillery
The militant miners in District II, organized
around the program of the Workers Communist
Party and the Trade Union Educational League
have in this question of the right of the miners to
organize for relief of unemployment an issue with
which they can go to the membership and expose
the direct connection between the "dual orgahiza
ton" decision, the officials, the Jacksonville agree
ment and the open shop drive.

The Passing of MussOIini

Mussolini has quit under fire.
Italy shakes again as new revelations linking
him with cowardly murder and hired terror of the
basest kind made public.
When the murder of Matteotti threatened to un
seat the paranoic upon whom world capitalism has
showered praises, we said that his power was on
the decline and that within year he would be
either one of the host of refugees from the venge
ance of the masses or dead at the hands of his
own followers. We have no reason to revise this
statement now.
Mussolini has passed out from the world arena,
and the social forces that brought him into the
melight continue to pound at the gates Of Italian
capitalism.
Under his rule the national economy went from
bad to worse-a sign for any Marxist that fas-
cism would fail The inevitable accompaniment Of
the breakdown of production and exchange was
mass discomfort which Mussolini put down with
heavy hand. The hand was trembling all the time,
but Mussolini's admirers, intoxicated by the sight
of what was announced as a great middleclass
victory, failed to see the utter impossibility of
stability in a country ruled by a small group to
whose interests those of the great majority of the
population were opposed. Mussolini could not re-
pair the damages of the war; he could not rebuild
industry and commerce, he could not bring the
clashing social forces into rhythmic motion any
more than any other ruler can whose first al

italian fascism may live yet a while, but it is
a faded flower whose bloodstained petals are droop-
ing to decay. Fascism put the emphasis on per-
sonal leadership and the little Bonaparte is i'll
with "influenza." One of the symptoms of in
auenza is cold feet.
The Italian Communist Party has weathered
the terror of fascism in splendid fashion. Under
the guidance of the Communist International it
closed its ranks and went straight to the italian
working class. 1t is mass party today and the
greatest political force in Italy 1t has been steeed
by the struggle and now, following the abdication
Of Mussolini, will challenge Italian capitalism for
power It's influence is best shown by the fact that
all during the destruction of labor headquarters,
the raiding and suppression of printing plants, the
mass murders and tortures, the Imprisonment of
thousands of members of labor unions and of the
Communist Party, it has remained the sole organ
lied resistance to fascsm.
This because like all Communist parties it has
no interests separate and apart from those of the
working class and peasantry.

Philippine "FanGticism" and
Freedom

These outbreaks Of religious fanatics" as the
imperialist press terms them, are becoming more
frequent in the Philippines. A dispatch from Ma
Mia tells of the killing of COlorums and the
wounding of three of the constabulary in fight
which still in progress the dispatch was
sent.
About the only truth in such news is that the
natives who fall before the rifles and machine guns
of the American forces are members of some
religious sect. 1t would be just accurate, how
ever, TO say that the Moroccan war is a religious
uprising because the Riffs are Mohammedans when
the plain truth is that they are resisting the inva
sion Of their country by Spanish army.
The Filipinos are n conquered people. Their
lands are in the hands of American exploiters-
lumber and sugar capitalists. In many of the more
primitive districts there is no doubt that religion
and the desire for freedom are closely nterminged
That the district where the present fighting is in
progress has not hitherto witnessed any clashes
between the natives and the guardians of American
capitalist interests is significant. 1t means that
even in sections where the conquest has been ac-
ceped till the natives are growing tired of the
yoke.
These conflicts in the Philippines are part of the
movement turnout the Far East against western
Imperialism altho with but little organic connec-
ION with it, They are uprisings of peasants and
laborers against brutal labor conditions and open
-ohbery.

to friendship; without equality there
can be no friendship.
Root Cause of Civil Wars
This party has time and again de-
clared before the world that the prin-
cipal cause Of the civil wars in China
lies in those militarists who willingly
serve as the tools of Imperialism and
who rely upon it for their existence.
The big miiltarists usurp political pow
er, exploiting and cheating the people
and preventing unification on any lines
whatever; while the smaller militar-
lists hold possession of province, or
part of provinces, in the name of the
principle Of federalism.
Whatever the high sounding names
under which they like to parade, they
only perpetuate civil war in China.
The object of the Kuomintang is to
eradicate the cause of the evils in
China. 1t is, therefore, determined to
unite the people to fight those militar-
lists who usurp political power and use
it in the interest of Imperialism
against the interest of the people; to
fight the smaller militarists who hold
the provinces in their clutches, as we'll
as those militarists who have constant
ly undermined the revolutionary gov
eminent. In word, this party will
struggle together with the people to
get rid of all obstacles in the way of
the national revolution.
Such are the tasks arising from the
present political situation and these
tasks can be settled only in accord
ance with the will of our president.

DAWES DOCTORS
IN Berlin FOR
SECRET MISSION
U. S. and British Bank
Heads Plan New Loans


BERLIN, July 1o.AconsiderabIe ex-
element was caused today In German
banking and financial circles following
the visit here last night Of Benjamin
Strong, governor Of the Federal Re-
serve bank Of New York, in company
with Montagu Norman, governor of
the Bank of England.
Their unexplained visit to Berlin
was reported to be in connection with
the Dawes plan, and extensive German
credits in the American and British
money markets.
The two important figures in Brit
ish and American financial circles
we're met at the station by President
Schacht of the Reichsbank.
They proceeded Immediately to the
Hotel Adlon, where it was evident the
visitors wished their arrival to be I'M
noticed. n
Their arrival and meeting with Pres
ident Schacht brot to mind the recent
report of S. Parker Gilbert. on the OBJ
GRAFTON of the Dawes plan in its first
six months.
New York bankers have been nego-
tiating a series of German municipal
loans recently and several others have
been projected, but there has been no
open discussion of another govern
ment loan in either London or New
York.

BRITISH FAKE
YELLOW PERIL

Against Soviets
tspseIaI to Ths paIIy W0rkerl

especial TO ne Ddiiy WOrNef)
LONDON, July 10.--Although the
British government has been forced to
withdraw FOR the time being from a
war move against Soviet Russia, 1t is
known that the diplomatic efforts Of
Britain are going on night and day to
try to surround Soviet Russia with a
ring Of nations pledged to attack the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union in one concerted drive.
The hypocrisy Of British propagan-
da can be seen in the fact that the
British government definitely unites
with monarchist and oriental Japan, at
the time it circulates propaganda thru
the Anglo-Saxon world to the effect
that the coming imperialist war is a
race question, with the yellow peril
as the DOGGY man, to drag the ignorant
occidental peoples into action against
Soviet Russia.
Apparently It is quietly ignored that
not only is Imperialist Japan color
ed nation, but that Soviet Russia is
populated largely by the white rae
es. By sending out such propaganda
Britain hopes to gain anti-Soviet sup
port from America. Australia and
such other capitalist countries as can
sway their masses on such fake is
sues. a.

Chinese Fight for Revolutions Victory

to participate in the reorganization
conference, or to cooperate with it.
Proposed Bogus National Assembly
But this is not all. Our party urged
the reorganization conference not to
perpetuate more crimes by fabricating
rules to convoke a bogus national as
serhbly, for it has not been authorized
by the people and was given no man
date by the people to settle any of the
national affairs. But the Picking pro-
visional government disregarded our
warning and proceeded to formulate
rules for the convocation of national
assembly, and continued to strengthen
it's connection with the imperialist
powers. The provisional government
has not only been repeatedly selling
the interests of the people to the i'm
perialists but it showed slavish loyalty
to them by killing and wounding stu
dents on the day of our national dis
grace.
Hopeless to Cooperate
This party, therefore, must solemn
ly declare that the cooperation be-
tween the Kuomintang and the pro-
visional government has become hope
less and that hereafter there is no
other course left to us but to continue
the national revolutionary struggle
with all our might.
The principal tasks in this struggle,
as the last will of our president charg-
es us, is the cancellation of all une-
quail treaties and the calling of a ma
tional assembly within the shortest pc
Rod Of time.
The last viii of our president charg-
es us also with the duty to call upon
the people of the country and those
nations of the world which consider
us as their equals to cooperate in the
common struggle. In order to recover
our rights and freedom and to free
ourselves from the oppression of the
militarists and imeprialists, the peo-
pie, especially the workers and farm
ers, should unite.
The people of China must under
stand that the Kuomintang has but
one aim and that is to struggle for
the interest Of the people. Therefore,
we must unite under the national revo-
lutionary flag and together carry on
the struggle to successful end.
Abrouatlon of Unequal Treaties
As 20 the nations which treat us on
the footing Of equality, we declare, as
we have stated in our manifesto on
the Sino-Russian agreement, that only
Soviet Russia deserves the name of
an equal partner.
The Soviet Republics have not only
voluntarily abrogated the unequal
treaties with China but they have con-
cluded with 1t treaties on the basis of
| equality, and have helped the Chinese
people in their great movement for the
cancellation Of Unequal treaties with
other countries. Soviet Russia over
threw the Imperialism Of the czarists:
moreover, it has been leading the cp-
pressed peoples of the world in the
united struggle against world imperial
ism. From the letter of our president
to the central executive committee of
the Union Of Soviet Republics. we are
sure that in the expression in his will
eferring to the nations which consider
us as their equal. he meant the Soviet
Republics.

tinue hand in hand with the Soviet
