Ten Cents

A MATHEMATICIAN estimates that If
n the government succeeds in collect
ing that Sill 100000 income tax assess
ment against Senator Couzens, it will mean
a saving of an average of 10 cents an
individual in future income taxes.
Most of US would be inclined to say;
Let Couzens keep the money. What's 10
cents TO me?"
Which, tragic enough, epitomizes the
interest most of us take in our national
government.

Morocco, the Key to the Mediterranean

The war in Morocco has. entered on
its critical stage. The French gov
eminent Of the left bloc is exerting
all its forces in order to avoid mill
tary collapse and to bring to an end
the Colonial expedition" against the
Riff people; an expedition" which. in
an unexpected manner, has become
converted into a great war" as the
president of the French Republic,
Painleve, was compelled to admit af-
ter his return from his visit to the
Moroccan front.
In the course of the month of July
the French government resorted to a
series of exceptional measures for the
purpose of further carrying on the
war. On the 10th Of July the French
chamber of deputies, after passionate
debates, granted by All votes against
20 with $50 abstentions, 1873 million
francs for war operations. On July
the 18th, after long negotiations in
Madrid, an understanding was arrived
at with regard to Franco-Spanish CO
operation in Morocco and as TO joint
action against the Riff people. At the
same time, there is taking place a
change Of command in the French
army in Morocco, according to which
Marshall Liauton, the former COM
mander-in-chief, only retains the gen.
eral POLITICAL leadership, while Nolin,
the representative Of the French war
office, is entrusted with the military
leadership. In addition to this, Mar
shall Petain, this hero of the French
national bloc, who distinguished him
self during the imperialist war by his
defense of verdun, has been sent to
Morocco in the capacity OF an extraor-
binary commission for war, "in order
to organize victory" During the last
few days great reinforcements, the
strength Of which is being kept secret
by the French military stan, have been
dispatched to Morocco. A plan OF
simultaneous action against the Riff
troops from the Spanish and French
zones has been discussed.
In order to prepare the. ground for

S. S. r. 1t suited the policy of the
Observation-Disclosures group to give
them plenty Of rope. Indeed, they
went so far as to declare at one time
that Birkenhead was voicing the pol
icy of the British government.
II that is so, why was the policy
Of Birkenhead not carried to its log
ical conclusion? Especially when
Macdonald, Thomas, Clynes and Co,
had shown they would support this
policy. First, because the Soviet gov
eminent showed no weakness. It
quite clearly knew its own strength
and the strength Cor weakness) Of its
opponents, and second, because the
British workers once again made il
quite clear that they would resoIutely
resist any Intervention against the
Soviets. Again, the rest of the Eu-
ropean states showed openly that
they were not prepared to accept sui
eide to further the interests of Brit
ish imperialism.
This explains the "cIimb down" Of
chamberlain. The British imperialists
once again-as in Chinese affairs re-
cently-recognized its impotency and
weakness. as
OUT sufficient has been written to
- convince readers that whilst the
attempt has failed this time no effort
will be spared to create the necessary
opportunity for striking a blow at
Russia. 1t seems certain that the
British imperialists are out for open
war if at all possible.
Up to now the British workers have
consistently demonstrated their
friendliness to the Soviet Union. But
in the future the "demonstrative
friendliness" Of the past will not be
enough.
We shall have to show to the Brit
ish imperialists that we learned the
lesson of the Russian revolution. In
1917 the workers and peasants
changed an imperialist war into a
victorious social upheavaI. Our watch
word from now on must be: when
British imperialism. declares war on
the Soviet Union it signs its own
death warrant and the British and
colonial workers must play the part
of the hangmen."

this action, rumors have been put in
circulation according to which France
and Spain have made peace offers
which, it is alleged. have been reject
ed by Abd-elKrim. The patriotism Of
the French soldiers is being stirred
up by their being told that the Riff
people are relying upon German and
Bolshevik support. The French forces
are going over to the offensive and
reckon upon ending operations before
the autumn rains set in, which will
render all military action impossible.
In spite of the reasoning tone Of
the government communications, the
French newspapers admit those great
difficulties which the French military
forces win have to overcome in view
of the fierce resistance of the Riff
troops and the revolts of the Kabyl
tribes in the rear of the French. The
attitude Of those powers which, while
at present remaining neutral, are in
terested in the war, is causing even
greater uneasiness in the French
press. England, which is also sup
ported by Italy, is raising the ques-
ton of the necessity OF a new inter
national conference to solve the fate
of Morocco, basing its attitude on
the fact that the Moroccan question
has acquired international Importance
in the postwar period.
The successful struggle of the Riff
troops for independence has entirely
changed the relations Of forces in the
northwestern corner of Africa, where
the interests of those powers who are
fighting for hegemony in the Medit-
erranean cross each other. France
viewed with pleasure the gradual GUST
ing OF Spain from the northern zone
during the last four years, and reck-
oned that it would be able to come
forward as claimant to the Spanish
heritage" In this, French diplomacy
appeals to Point of the Anglo
French secret treaty of 1904 regard

vides that in the event of Spain not

in the Spanish zone" in Morocco, the
original Anglo-French agreement over
Morocco comes into force. This
agreement is interpreted by the
French in the sense that If Spain
loses control over the zone allotted to
it, or should the Spanish troops evacu-
ate this zone, the control of this zone
passes automatically to France,
which can then unite the whole Of
Morocco under its rule.
The French plans Numerically OPP
pose the interests Of England, as the
northern coast of Morocco owing to
it's geographical position is of great
importance in the world scheme Of
the defense of the British empire.
England's position as great power
in the Mediterranean, apart from the
naval bases at Malta and Cyprus, is
based in the first place upon the con-
troll of the Suez Canal and the Straits
Of Gibraltar. The latest 'howitzers"
are easily able to lombard Gibraltar
from the Spanish coast, and the ques-
ton OF its defense is beginning to en-
counter great difficulties. The COM
mission consisting of English war
specialists recently sent to Gibralter
has reported that the prospects of or
ganizing the air defenses of Gibral-
tar are likewise exceedingly poor, as
there exist no suitable landing places.
The British admiralty has therefore
Of late observed with uneasiness that
The English strategical positions in
the most vital parts Of the Mediterr-
anean have been growing weak.
Therefore England cannot reconcile
itself to the idea that the French
flag is perhaps to be hoisted on the
southern shore of the Straits of Glib
raltar, which for England would mean
a far greater danger than the flag of
weak Spain. The military interests
Of England are compelling it to ac-
tive Intervention in the Moroccan
question for the purpose Of consolidate
ing the English influence on the south
ern coast, on the coast district OF the
Spanish Moroccan zone. The military
collapse of Spain suited English in
terests, which explains the somewhat
benevolent attitude of the English
government towards the Riff people.

British Imperialism and the Soviet Union

trigues for an anti-Soviet bloc-pour-
ing Of munitions into Esthonia-Brit-
ish feet in the Baltic, etc, all show
the serious end which the British cab
met had in mind.
Then it next became necessary to
test the effect of all these efforts upon
the other western European capitalist
states and also to ascertain what
would be the effect of break of dip
lomatic relations with Russia, upon
the leaders" of the British workers
and upon the British working class
generally.
China afforded a pretext. Once
again it was discovered that 'Bolshe-
vik plots" were at the root Of the
trouble in China. Britain was repre-
scented as civilizing force with great
interests in China all of which was
threatened by the influence of Zino-
view. A Soviet trade representative
in China was arrested to give local
color" to the story. Chicherin (the
Soviet minister for foreign affairs)
then wrote drawing attention to the
seriousness of the step contemplated
by the British government and the
Baldwin cabinet met to consider the
next and final move.
TN the British conservative govern
4 ment-the executive officers of Brit
ish imperialist policy-one can dis
tinctly detect two tendencies. The
first is the arrogant sword rafting
tendency of the Curzon school which
is led by Birkenhead. The second is
the more subtle and realistic school
which is under the domination of Bald
win and Chamberlain.
Baldwin and Chamberlain would
like to declare war on Russia but they
are restrained by knowledge of the
internal situation at home.
Not being strong enuf themselves
to wage this warfare they pursue a
policy Of trying to persuade other
countries to undertake the task. This
is in line with traditional British for
eign policy.
The Birkenhead group Of die-hards

opportunity. They tried hard to drive

plete diplomatic rupture with the U.

strikes, boycotts, national independ-
ence campaigns, and even open armed
struggle.
In these fights the toiling masses of
the British empire find common
ground with the workers and peas
ants of Soviet Russia The British
bourgeoisie know this quite we'll and
clearly realize that the ever advanc-
ing economic and political prestige of
the U. S. S. R. is direct menace to
its own future.
THEREFORE,, the recent campaign
4 against the u. S. S. r. was
launched. The initial steps were TAX
en- at the. moment when Macdonald
under pressure from the masses-was
negotiating a trade treaty with the
Soviet Union. His weak minority
government, which had been used to
ratify the Dawes plan was swept from
Office and prevented from obtaining
majority at the polls by the issue of
the infamous forged letter purporting
to come from Zinovfev. With this the
British yellow press received its cue.
1t followed the aforementioned
forged letter stunt with fearful sland-
ers against Russia at the time of the
Esthonian rising. Then came a great
er volume of lies and forgeries follow
ing the lamentable Sofia explosion.
Until right up to the present moment.
this press attack has continued. For
sheer unmitigated lying it has far sur
passed, even the anti-German press
campaign of 1914-191S-a campaign
dictated then by the exigencies of the
war period. The right wing labor and
trade union press has ably assisted its
bourgeois colleagues.
But underneath this open press hos
tility there has been governmental ac-
tion. Refusal to appoint an ambassa-
dor to Moscow, curtailment of visas
to trade representatives, refusal to ex-
tend the trade facilities act to Russia,
the financial blockade; all these were
preparatory steps to the complete
break of diplomatic relations at the
opportune moment.
The Campaign Widespread and
Serious.
