the workers of Britain will continue
to have the support OF the allies who
have rallied to them in the general
strike-the Industrial workers of both
the colonial nations and the capitalist
countries of Europe. A unity of action
and purpose in the ranks of interna-
tional labor has been established that
will never be broken, for the British
trade unions with one gesture as
powerful as 1t is magnificent, have
shattered the myth carefully main
tanned till now by the ruling class,
the myth that British labor and Brit
ish imperialism were one indivisible
whole.
The inevitable consequences for
British Imperialism can be understood
only If we look carefully at the struc-
ture Of the British empire and the
conflicts in process of development
within 1t and against 1t.

Daily Herald, there is open talk of
"machine-gunning" and an open lust
for slaughter hitherto expressed only
towards the backward races"
The interests of the two classes in
Great Britain now run directly counter
to one another-the ruling class must
struggle to maintain the empire, the
working class moves in a direction OPP
posed to the whole idea of empire.
The weakness of the national liberia
ton movements which have disturbed
the even tenor of empire progress
since the war, and since the Russian
revolution by liberating the oppressed
peoples from the czarist yoke gave a
glorious example to the colonial
masses Of the whole world, has been
that the British working class. bound
by reactionary and reformist leaders
to the imperialiE chariot, was able to
give little assistance.
The general strike has broken with
one stroke the connection between the
British masses and their imperialist
rulers. Never again will colonial
war be fought by other than MERGE
nary legions and then only in the face
of stern resistance from the trade
unions.
And in its struggles against the i'm.

The latter was certainly committed
under pressure OF the right wing, who
perhaps presented an ultimatum.
