COMETIMES the pressmen go on

dent breaks it before it has much of
a chance to develop, but one would
imagine that Mr.. Berry would be saw
ed from the necessity of leaving his
vast industrial enterprises in Ala
bama in order to pull off strike
breaking job in New York since the
most promising heir to the British
throne, the niftiest toe glider and the
champion whiskey magician in Great
Britain has paid-up card in the
Pressmens Union. Only few days
ago, David p. sent his check for $500
representing two months dues to the
New York local of which he is a men,
Der. The French Marshal Foch is also
a member of union, tho not Of the
butchers. Still we have strikes and
threats of strikes.
lit appears that the attempt to gel
| the labor lion lying down with the
capitalist lamb has not been a pro-
nounced success for the lamb. De-
spite the efforts of the labor lieuten-
ants of capitalism the old quarrel be-
tween the exploited ana the exploiter
over the division of the fruits of la
boris efforts goes on and nothing can
stop it short of the elimination OF
the exploiter.
nAMSAY MACDONALD is in dan
IN ger of losing his leadership Of the
parliamentary labor party. This was
inevitable considering his conduct
during his premiership and since.
Many revolutionists gave Macdonald
credit for honesty while disagreeing
vigorously with his ioeas. But he has
shown himself to be one of the most
despicable grafters that ever feathered
his own nest at the expense of the

Donald did not have.

competency cost the labor party dear.
Philip Snowden, another low-lived
faker, is Jealous of MacDonald's po-
sition. So is ]. H. Thomas, who is,
if such thing is possible, the most
hard-boiled crook in the pack. The
left wing, in the labor party, such as
from Macdonald and Co. The most
talked-of man for the position is John
Wheatley from the Clyde. Wheatley,
is reputed to be radical. But while
he is a great Improvement on Mac
Donald and the other traitors Of the
same ilk, he will never lead the Brit
ish working class against the citadels
Of capitalism. He is a Roman catho-
lie, for one thing, which is proof
sufficient that he is not revolution
list, at least not the kind that will
lead the masses in the finaI strug-

CMALL tho it is comparatively, the
- Communist Party of Great Britain
is the only organization that can be
expected to take the lead in con-
signing the British ruling class to the
ash can of history. The situation in
England is developing rapidly. There
is great breaking away of the mass

the middle-of-the-road men who are
now assuming more dominant role,
