THE EXPERIENCES OF BRITISH LEAGUE
IN ECONOMIC TRADE UNION WORK

from Dec. IA to 20, comes at an op-
perfume time for our English league,
during this period, when several of
the most important unions, (railway
men, transport workers., are carrying
on campaigns for the elimination OF
non-unionism, the exceptional op-
portunity to raise the question Of the
trade union organization Of the young
workers is available.
While approaching all the success
and results of the economic trade
union work of the English league, we
have no desire to delude ourselves
into the belief, that the economic
trade union work Of the English
league has reached perfection pitch.
Much remains to be done in this field.
The main tasks Of the future are,
substantial increase in the number OF
factory groups, the consolidation of
the existing fractions, and organiza-
ton of new fractions, the systematic
work in the Minority Movement and
the organization of young workers
conferences for the most important
industries and districts.
The decisions of the last Manchester
conference of the league places the
economic trade union work on a firm
foundation. The English league un-
derstands that the economic trade
union work is the most important
feature Of the mass work. To the ex-
tent that it carries out its decision on
this question, it will advance on its
path to the mass organization.

nY HARRY YOUNG.

Continued from yesterdays issue)
The immediate possibilities are in
the Industrial conferences Of the
mining youth in the Rhonda district
of South Wales, and the youth con-
ference Of the Minority Movement in
an important locality in London.
1t is impossible to prophesy the
exact lines upon which this work will
develop. This will be worked out in
the leagues practical activity.
The league has recently demonstrate
ed that its active participation in the
mining and textile crises was no &C.
cident, but the outcome Of systematic
planning of economic activity.
This is demonstrated by its month
long preparation of a campaign in the
railway industry during the period of
the negotiations for the new wages
agreement. These negotiations now
show indication of a severe and bit
ter struggle. The league by its con-
centration on the railroad yards and
depots of its concentration groups, its
establishment of connections with
young workers in the industry, it's
devotion of special space to the rail-
way question in the Young Worker,
its organ, and the preparation of the
membership for this campaign, will
participate in the dispute as a well
oiled fighting machine.

The League-An Ambitious Dream of
World Imperialism.

World Imperialism.
n. M. WlcKS
Upon the ruins of the world war
- the victorious nations endeavored
to erect a super-state, an instrument
of conquest and vengeance that would
subdue all the earth to its will. It
was an ambitious dream of world i'm
perialism. It's immediate detectives
were to reduce the vanquished ma
tons to the condition Of colonies,
crush the proletarian revolution in
Russia and partition the earth among
the victors, but irreconcilable antag-
onisms within the capitalist economy
of the world prevented its full real
ization.
Woodrow Wilson, as the agent of
the House of Morgan; Clemenceau,
the tiger Of French banking capital;
Lloyd George, the darling of the Brit
ish imperiailists and Orlando of Italy
were the big four at Versailles where
the treaty and the covenant Of the
league were Matched. The primary
purpose of the league of nations was
to throw the mantle Of legality over
every plundering expedition the con-
spirators representing their various
imperialist governments desired to
launch. The most malovelent designs
were concealed beneath exalted
phrases. A past master, a virtuoso
in sophistry, Professor Wilson applied
his talents to the task of formulating
exalted slogans to sanctify the mon
strous conspiracy.
U. S. Considered Member.
ON the 2Sth of June, 1919, the prin-
~ cipal allied and associated powers
signed the treaty of Versailles with
Germany. The treaty was a ponder
Gus affair consisting of fifteen sepa-
rate parts dealing with various phases
of the settlement, with 44O articles in
the thing The first part of that
treaty constitutes what is known as
the covenant of league of nations and
consists of rs articles. 1t requires no
profound analysis to reveal the fact
that the league Is definitely organized
for war. 1t was created with the idea
of carrying on war against any state
that refuses to bow to it's will.
In short memorandum attached
to the covenant itself, which is called
the annex is recited the names of the
governments which were the original
members of the league of nations and
the names of the states invited to &C
cede to the covenant and thereby be-
come members.
The United States is named as a
party to the treaty of peace and also
appears in the annex as an original
member Of the league of nations. The
league organization was to consist of
the assembly which was to meet from
time to time, with all member nations
represented. This was to be in the
nature of lower house, similar to the
house of congress in the American
government Then there was to be
council of twelve, comprising six per-
manent seats and six temperament
seats. The six permanent seats were

work for him from 6 p. m. to 6 a. m.
For this work they were getting
two leaves of bread. When the Young
stown officials found out about this
they arrested them on the charge of
defying the Curfew law. Instead of
arresting the owner of the bakery for
exploiting child labor, they arrested
the boys. Instead of giving them food

Gals sent them to the juvenile court.
That is how the officials here are

fish the economic basis for an inter

wars of conquest the imperialist aims
of the nations that dominate the
league.
Every important section of the GOV.
enant deals with war or threatens war
against all who do not submit to the
league.
Colonial Conquest.
DERHAPS the most loathsome and
brazenly imperialist clause in the
covenant is Article %, which refers
to people not yet able to stand by
themselves under the strenuous condi-
tions of the modern world" and adding
that "the well-being and development
of such peoples form a sacred trust of
civilization" reaches the conclusion
that the league must try to elevate"
such unfortunate nations. Such ma
tions are "aided" by the league estab-
fishing a system of mandates, and
assigning to the highly civilized ma
tions the mandates over the nations
not yet enjoying the superlative bles-
sings of civilization.
This mandate system has been ap-
piled to territories formerly belonging
to Germany and Turkey, two of the
vanquished nations. France exercises
some of the mandates, Britain others.
It is merely a new form of colonial
exploitation.
No language in all the earth can
ever describe the unreasonable in
fanny of the atrocities perpetrated
against the unfortunate inhabitants of
these inundated areas. The French
storming of Damascus and the fright
fulness that subsequently ragged in
Syria is the most recent exhibition of
the peaceful and disinterested motives
impelling the league of nations.
The world court, as the legal cloak
of the league, has recently climaxed
its record of brigandage by declaring
that the league has the right to sane
ton Britain's looting of the Angora
republic in order to obtain access to
Mosul oil.
Just as the holy alliance Of the early
part of the last century was created
by those who believed it was their
destiny to rule by divine right and to
keep the world forever under the pail
of the feudal system, so today the
league and the world court advocates
imagine that they are specially set
apart from other people to impose
their will upon the rest of mankind.
The holy alliance signalized the
resistance of feudalism to capitalism
as this system emerged as a young
giant upon the stage of world history;
the league of nations is one of the
last bulwarks of capitalism as it
gropingly and desperately strives to
hold the world in check
But just as the rising power Of
capitalism shattered feudalism with
its holy alliance, so the rising pro-
letariat of today will conquer the de.
caying imperialism in spite of and
against the league of nations and its
world court.

Imperialism in Creating the Court.
