BACKGROUND OF EVENTS
BY PAUL y. COLLINS.

made that few colleges today are free
from doctrines subversive of respect
for our constitutional institutions,
Prof. Haynes says:
The new movement represents the
most constructive union of the labor
movement IN the United States at
the present time. Its leaders, many
of them Socialist intellectuals, regard
social reorganization as inevitable.
The preamble of the Amalgamated
(meaning the 'Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers'-same type in the pre-
amble as In the /. w. w doctrine
calling for One Big Union) is
the fullest and most recent statement
of the underlying philosophy of the
new unionism."
The professor commends to his
students this preamble, which says:
Every oppressed class in history
attained it's emancipation only upon
Its attaining economic supremacy
The same law operates also In the
struggle between capital and labor
The industrial and interindustrial or
ganization, built upon the solid rock
of clear knowledge and class con-
sciousness, will put the organized
working class in actual control of
the system Of production, and the
working class will then be ready to
take possession of II. The assuming
of control of industries by the work.
ers can only come as it did in Rus
sia, Italy and Hungary, by forcible
seizure"
Emancipation" which comes nv
"forcible seizure" means revolution
and repudtation of the Constitution,
Socialist intellectuals" are taught in
colleges supported by taxation how
to overturn that Constitution and de-
stroy the Government

Now comes the interparliamentary
conference. which has been invited by
the President of the United States
to meet in the very Capitol of the
United States-the great, historic
building which normally houses our
Supreme Court, our Senate and
House of Representatives, and in
which the Presidents take their
solemn oaths to uphold the Consti-
tuition.
All delegates must be members of
the Parliaments of their respective
countries. The news Is that in theNdel.
egation appointed in Great Britain to
the meeting in the Capitol once burned
by British invaders are two Socialist
agitators. at least one Of whom, Sha-
purJi Saklatvala. openly proclaimed his
intention TO narangue Tin our very
Capitol for the destruction Of our
Constitution and overthrow of all gov
ernments. Saklatvala is reported as
saying in a speech made since his ap-
pointment as delegate:
Il am going to America as friend
Of the working classes and as an i'm
placable enemy of the Union Jack and
British Imperialism. British imperial.
ism ought to crumble in the dust 1
am out for a revolution and for the
day when the workers will control the
whole world. Before this comes you
will have to face cold STEEL"
Secretary of State kellogg. upon
learning Of Saklatvala's speeches, has
ordered his visa Cancelled. Secretary
Kellogg takes the position that an.
archists should not be permitted to
come into the United States with the
avowed intention of attacking cur
Government; the law forbids such en-.
| try of aliens.
Senator Borah, chairman Of the Sem
ate foreign relations committee, pro.
tests that Saklatvala should be per.
mitted to enter, but that when he then
violates our laws he should be sent to
the penitentiary, regardless Of the
fact that he is member Of the Brit
ish Parliament.
