tinue in their suppression and plum
dering Of the colonies without hind
rance. No one but the governments
Of the imperialist countries is respon-
sible for the breakdown at Geneva.
Aimed at at Workers.
Workers of all countries! From
the first moment the Communists de-
clared that the treaty Of Locarno was
a treaty of the imperialist powers
against the people, an agreement of
the big capitalist powers which will
release new wars, which will suppress
the small and disarmed nations, which
will prepare the way for new armed
Intervention against Soviet Russia.
The events in Geneva have shown
more clearly than ever before that
the spirit Of Locarno is the spirit
of rifles and bayonets, of poison gas
and hand grenades.
1.-THE pacifist face Of Locarno is only
a mask behind which the criminal
game of the imperialist with the lives
of the people is being continued. The
bankruptcy of the Geneva negotiations
has uncovered this game. The Sec
ond International has taken an open
and direct part in the activity Of the
league Of nations.
Betrayal Of soolaI-Democrats
1.-THE leaders of the Second Interna-
tional support the anti.proletarian
game of their governments. The So
cial-democratic leaders have not only
rejected every proposal for a Joint
struggle against the league Of nations,
but they have, irrespective Of the in
terests of the masses, without con-
sideration Of the demands of the revo-
lutionary workers, taken a direct aud
active part in the council of the league
of nations and in similar organiza-
tions OF imperialism. The social
democrats who were present at the
March sessions in Geneva took part
in the imperialist intrigues just like
the representatives of the other gov
ernments.
1.-THE French social-democrat Paul
Boncour, the Swedish social-democrat
linden, the Belgian social-democrat
Vandervelde. all showed prepared
ness not only to defend the interests
of their respective governments. but
also in cases where the interests of
these governments were in contradic-
ton they voted against each other.
"Social-democrat against social
democrat, working class leader
against working class leader, each at
the side of his imperialist govern
ment, that was the shameful role of
the Second International in Geneva.
New War Being Prepared.
"Workers of all countries, what is
to be done now? The miracle Of peace
has not yet been consummated as a
French newspaper wrote few days
ago. But new war is coming down
upon us with tremendous power. The
giant load of military taxation is rest
ing on the shoulders Of the toilers in
all countries New ornaments, new
collisions, the sword of a new 1914 is
hanging over the heads OF the peo-
pies. The expectations of the Ger
man bourgeoisie, the hopes of Luther
and Stresemann upon an entry Of Ger
many into the alliance Of the victors
have been totally annihilated.
whilst the league of nations and
its defenders are discredited in Ger
many, whilst the reactionaries, the ma
tionalist and the fascists raise their
heads once again after the events in
Geneva, the united front of the Ger
man proletariat against the league and
its agents must be formed.
America Seeks Power.
