amendment allowing a. second term
for any president which has been out

This will allow for the legal can

life Of European industry and com
pels enormous expenditures for arma-
ments
Three, the growing establishment,
discomfort and power of the European
workingclass.
Four, the increasing stability, power
and influence of the Soviet Union in
Europe and Asia.
TT is in an attempt to solve all four
l. of these problems that the tendency
towards a closer grouping Of the
European capitalist states has devel-
oped. A workingclass leadership
which does not understand that a
united front with the capitalists, such
as the Amsterdam offlcialdom pro
poses, means nothing else than par
ticipation in a life-saving expedition
for European capitalism, or under
standing this and still advocating
such a policy, as the Amsterdam lead
ers undoubtedly do, is urging the
labor movement to weld chains on
it's own wrists and dig its own grave.
"The United States of Europe" or
PAN Europa" as Amsterdam puts it,
is a purely capitalist slogan. That the
Amsterdam International can put for
ward such a slogan without even men
tioning the need for world trade unity
to say nothing of urging an imme-
diate conference for the purpose OF
bringing it about-is proof Of the sus-
picions long entertained by class
conscious workers that the 1. F. T. U.
leadership is nothing but an organ
lied agency of capitalism in the ranks
Of the labor movement.
THE statement of the I. F. 7. U. on
l. the British coal strike in connec-
ton with the rest of its statement on
"Pan-Epropa" affords the strongest
possible corroboration of the "busi-
ness unionism" in cooperation with
capitalists and capitalist governments
which composes so large a part of the
stock-in-trade of Amsterdam official
dom. l quote:
international labor would not
wish to see Britain shut out of a
United States of Europe, but the
British employers in the present
coal struggle are showing very
plainly how far they are from
araspinp even the elementary prin-
cipIes which underlie the idea of
Pah-Europa. In the British coal in
dustry, at least, THE WORKERS
HAVE PROVED THAT THEY ARE
WILLING AND EAGER TO DO
THEIR PART IN MAKING
EUROPE AN EFFECTIVE UNIT
FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF
WORLD COMPETITION, WHILE
THE EMPLOYERS PREFER TO
RUIN THEIR COUNTRY AND
WEAKEN EUROPE IN THE COAL
MARKETS OF THE WORLD
rather than give up their primitive
ways Of doing business and their
fixed idea Of breaking trade union
resistance. Emphasis mine.)
THE shameless nature of the senti-
l. ments emphasized above becomes
apparent at once when we understand
that the 1. F. T. U. leaders are refer
ring, NOT to the magnificent soli-
The daily worker., 1926-10-28

darity of the general strike, or to the
heroic struggle of the coal miners. but
to the calling off Of the general strike,
the desertion of the miners and the
concessions offered to the govern
ment and the coal capitalists by the
reaetionary British leaders such as
an acceptance of reduction in wages
and the denial of any lack Of loyalty
to the British constitution
On the other hand, the |. F. T. u.
leaders emphasize the harm the coal
barons are doing to their country and
Europe by losing coal markets rather
than on the war the coal barons and
the whole British capitalist apparatus
is making on the miners and the en-
tire workingclass.
A LII Of the above points to the in
1 \ evitable conclusion that European
capitalism is finding ready and will
ing tools in the Amsterdam leaders
for its scheme of hating the collapse
of its system at the expense Of the
workingelass.
It is little wonder that the agents
of American Imperialism in the lead
ing strata of the trade unions is able
to find common ground with such
an element and are affiliatIng to vari-
Gus sections Of the Amsterdam Inter
national.
MHEN such open unity with cap
W italists and their governments is
advocated by a leadership of trade
union International which claims to
speak for the majority of the Europe
an workers, the necessity of renewed
and more intense struggle for world
trade union unity is obvious to any
intelligent worker. -
Trade union unity on the basis Of
a struggle against a further forcing
down of the living standard of the
workers.. against the new wars which
will arise out of the insoluble CON
flicts of European and world capital
ism, against the new offensive against
the workers and peasants govern
ment Of the Soviet Union, these are
the burning issues not only for the
European labor movement but for
America as well.
The unity Of the workingclass in
the struggle against its pressing
dangers under the central slogan of
"The United States Of Socialist
Europe" raised by the Communist In
ternational and "World Trade Union
Unity" the rallying cry of the Red
international of Labor Unions, must
be achieved if the standard of living
of the worlds workingclass is not to
be beaten down to new low levels in
a new struggle for the dwindling cap
italist markets, il a new world war is
not to take toll of millions from the
ranks of the workers and reconstruc-
tion of industry on socialist basis
in the Soviet Union halted by the
necessity of defense against the drive
the imperialists are preparing.
''World Trade Union Unity" is
slogan for the American working
class.
The manifesto signed by ]. P. Nor,
gan and other powerful finance cap
italists brings this issue home to us.
