Capitalist Leagues
Labor Scheme Is Too
Rotten for Furuseth

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Andrew
Furuseth, president Of the Interna-
tional Seamens Union of America, is
going to Geneva for the meeting of
representatives of many governments
affiliated with the international labor
office of the league of nations on June
Ia, when the convention dealing with
seamen's rights is to be signed. He
will oppose the measure, since it fails,
in his opinion, to protect the right of
seamen to quit work and tends to de-
grade conditions already won in the
United States and certain other coun-
tries.
This proposed convention" said
Furuseth, restores imprisonment for
seamen who quit their ships, and 1t
goes even farther back than the con
ditions we abolished by the seamen's
act of 1916. It will create once more
the conditions that obtained in the
sailing fleets in the Sandwich Islands
and out from San Francisco in the
early days. That Is to say, II will
take away all the rights Of seamen
as men,"

THE motion picture, a product of
1 twentieth century capitalism, has
reached its highest state of perfec-
tion. and exercises its greatest infiu-
ence on the workers in the United
States. The industry is controlled by
the capitalist class, but caters to the
working class for it's support 1t is
the only art that has mass support
and the only art where the supporters
do not dictate the policy. The policy
isudictated by the capitalist class
thru the motion picture trust.
Ups Means to EnsIave Workers.
1.-The masses from the largest indus
trial center to the smallest hamlet
are victims of the films emotional in
fluence, while the crafty master-class
utHizes the cinema as one of its most
effsctive weapons to keep the work
ers sunder their subjective influence.
The highest percentage of the indi-
yiduaIs understanding of the universe
comes thru the eye-by seeing. This
makes the motion picture all the more
efficient in its function as means to
keep, the workers enslaved.
y The motion picture is not only used
by the capitalist class against the
workers at home, but has been found
to be more effective than missionaries
in serving capitalism in other lands.
II is true the battleship follows the
dollar, but the film precedes the dol
lar. The network of economic pene-
tration is not always a conscious
planned factor. Capitalist grows, ex-
pands and imperialism utilizes what
ever network the system produces.
At present over 30 per cent of the
motion picture trusts income is de-
rived from showing films in other
lands. The profit from this source
urges on these plutocrats to conquer
new fields, to increase this revenue.

ness has not manifested itself in the
same forms as in the case Of the
Anglo-Soviet rapprochement this must
be put down to the exceptional hos
tility Of the social-democrats to Com
munism. 1t must be borne in mind
that the move to the left of the work
ing masses is bitterly opposed not only
by socialdemocratic theology but also
by the social-democratic and trade
union machinery.

Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and else

this change inclining towards Russia
is not so noticeable in the masses, is

British Reformism.
Where party differentiation has not
cut into the broad masses (Britain)
the left wing takes shapes with
greater ease. It is for this very rea-
son that this change has been SO
marked in Britain, even at the top of
the trade union ladder. In Britain
the dead hand of social-democratic
traditions Yields least influence while
the insular type of British reformism
has not such perfect bureaucratic
machinery constituting an appendage
of the bourgeois state inside the work

ton; but as political idea does It
not represent something new in the
European labor movement? If the
representatives of the British trade
unions were in Soviet Russia as long
ago as in 1920, why did not such
committee come into being then? Be-
cause at that time Soviet Russia was
utterly exhausted, the Russian work
ing class was in an exceptionally bad
position and the revolution could not
then exercise such an attractive influ-
ence on the British labor movement
as in 1924. Now tits these two cap
ital moments-the steady worsening
of the British working class position
and the considerable Improvement in
the position of the working class in
the U. S. S. R.-that form the ground
on which the Angio-Russian rap
prochement has DEVELOPED.
Here it may be asked: why an
Anglo-Soviet and not German-Soviet
rapproachement? Is 1t possible that
the working class is better off in Ger
many than in Britain? Why has there
been change of heart in England in
favor of Soviet Russia while in Ger
many the change is towards the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor? Surely like
causes should have like effects?
German Masses Look to U. S. S. r.

The year just passed was further
remarkable for an exceptionally rapid
growth in the T. u. movement in the
Near, Middle and Far East and in the
colonies, the most outstanding feature
being the stupendous extension of
the labor unions in China and the
part they took in the national struggle
for emancipation. There are over
1,000,0 900 organized workers at the
present time in China, according to
the latestsdata published at the Kuo-
mintang congress held at the begin

1t be said that this organized force
is playing an exclusively important

All this goes to show that the past
year saw further development of
the T. U. movement in fresh countries
and the gradual induction of the ma
tured workers organizations into
world politics and the world labor
movement.
Eastern Movement Important.
1t has always been an accepted ira
dition of the European labor move
ment that the center of the world was
in Europe, that any federated body of
the trade unions or socialist parties
of Europe was enough to entitle it to
be called an international, the inter.
national, even tho the workers Of
the other continents had no relation
ships whatever with it. AS is COM
mon knowledge, the traditions of the
Communist International and the Red
international of Labor Unions are en-
tirely different. From its very incep-
ton the r. /. L. U. went beyond the
confines of Europe, practically giving
first place to the question of the T. U.
Enoyement of the east and colonies.
The tremendous revolutionary sig
nificance possessed by the trade
unions of the east was particularly
emphasized by the events of last year.

ARTICLE II.

The outstanding feature of the in
ternational labor movement at pres
ent is the birth of left tendencies in
side the reformist organizations and
the formation of an opposition in the
second and Amsterdam internationals,
which means, of course, the weaken
ing of international reformism.
The most prominent manifestation
of the new aspiration that has taken
shape during the past year can be con-
sidered as the formation of the Anglo
Russian committee, a product of the
new orientation of a very considerable
and influential part of the Amsterdam
international. For a while the re.
formists diverted themselves with say
ing that the Anglo-Russian committee
was not an organization, but politi-
cal slogan, an idea. Their hopes, how
ever, could not but be dashed when

British unions was ratified after Scar
