Chamberlain Contends
League Still Survives
Especial to Tn, Daily work.r)

LONDON, March 25 - "The league
Of nations is not superstate and any
one who tries to make It super
state will destroy it, declared Sir
Austen Chamberlain, when he re-
ceived the freedom OF the city Of
London today, in honor OF HIS efforts
at Locarno.
Sir Austen defended his course at
the recent Geneva conference, and ex-
pressed regret that the Locarno
treaties had not been consummated.
He declared, however, that the league
was not weakened by the breakdown
and would survive, az would the Lo-
carno treaties.

British Want Pension.

LONDON, March 25 - Reopening
Of the discussion of the British debt
question with the United States was
seen in we'll informed quarters today,
as a probable outgrowth of chancellor
of exchequer Winston Churchills
speech on the inter-allied debts before
the house of commons yesterday.
Churchill said that during the next
three generations Britain would pay
the United States a half million
dollars a day, constituting the most
stupendous financial transaction
known" The picture was darkened
by mention of the unwillingness of
France and other debtors of Great
Britain to meet their obligations with
alacrity.
Germany Paying Their Debts.
The chancellor declared that already
thru the debt settlements so far me-
gotiated the United States was OBJ
tanning from it's European debtors as
much as the reparations Germany was
paying under the Dawes plan. In the
future when the German payments
will be vastly increased, he stated the
United States would still be obtaining
so per cent of the total.
Attack Deliberately Planned.
Winston Churchills attack upon the
American policy of debt collection
was deliberately planned for the pur-
pose of calling to the attention of the
American public the harm resulting
to Europe from the American debt
policy, it was explained here officially
today.
The chancellor of the exchequer has
no hopes that the attitude Of the
American government towards debts
will be changed, it. was stated. but he
is anxious that the American people
shall know his views regarding the
effects of the American refusal to
cancel debts. ok

We have no other interests than
those of the workers. But we must
confess that the behavior of such
gentlemen as Mgr. Herman, Senator
Edge, the muItl-mllllonaire secre-
tary Of labor, Mr.. Davis, Colonel
Johnson, the rulers Of the barony

as to afford six-cylinder proof Of

forward in this direction, object
lively develops a next step forward
to broadening, towards a deepen
ing of the demands and the strue-
giles of our workers. The strike is
a university for the proletariat. The
strike is a dress rehearsal for the
bigger fights, for the sharper COM
bats that the American workers will
yet have to fight in order to achieve
proIetarian democracy In the United
States.
Colonel johnson, Senator Edge,
His unhoIlness Mgr. Herman, are
much more responsible for the tex

munlsts are. Unfortunately, the
American Communists do not yet
have enough influence to call out
and have scores Of thousands of
workers strike at their request. Nor
are the Communists abstraetlonIsts
hair-spIlttlng Missionaries, who talk
strike or act strike when there is
no objective, no real basis and de-
mand and response to i among the
broad masses.
We Communists have not created
the strike. But we have likewise
not been asleep and have pointed
out the lessons of this strike to the
thousands of workers. We have
done more than that. Communists
don't believe in sitting on a sort Of
proIetarian Mount Olympus and
handing down a sacred wisdom and
undefIled advice to the great masses
of the workers. Communists are an
integral part of the working class.
We don't believe merely in pointing
out. We believe in carrying on and
carrying out. We propose to do all
in our power to help the workers
win their demands. Having no in
terests other than the interests Of
the workers, the Passaic strike Is
the affair of the Communists as we'll

THE Passaic strike Is a revolt
/ against American capitalism
which erushes and degrades millions
Of the proletarIat engaged in the un-
organized basic Industries of the
United States. The Passalo strike
comes at a time when American
lmperialists are waxing fabuiously
rich thru their domination Of the
world capital and commodity mar
ket. It is the task Of the commun-
lists, as of all workers who have the
interests Of the working class at
heart, to leave no blow innsbruck,
to leave no stone unturned, to leave
no duty unfulfIIIed in order to turn
the Passaic strike into a great vic
tory for the thousands Of workers
who are struggling for the very
right to exist, who are fighting
against vicious persecution and
ruthless exploitation.

Why There Is a Strike.

THE Passaic strike is not a strike
for Communism. The Passaic
strike ls a strike for the most eIe-
mentary rights which were supposed
to have been won decades ago by
the American workers. Passalc Is
simply the scene of capitalist Amer
ieanism run amuck. The American
workers are not yet ready, are not
sufficiently developed politically to
strike for direct, broad, class de-
mands. The Communists are real
lists. The Communists are Lenin-
lists. The Communists are reVolu-
tionists to the core. As such the
Communists know that every tine
the workers strike for the smallest
everyday demands that every time
the proletariat fights against its ex-

rights, these workers are getting
