The Conflict In the League

Although not member of the League of
Nations the imperialist government of the
United States neglects no opportunity to have
its agents in the league engage in intrigue
against its rival, England. The league, dom
mated by England, has been used as a weapon
in the world wide struggle between the two
great imperialist powers.
The United States imperialsts, anxious to
join the league when it was first established,
were prevented from doing so by the So
called irreconcilable senators, the "wilful
twelve" that defeated Wilson's proposals.
Forced to make the best of the situation
American policy has waged a double fight
against European domination of the league
On the one hand it has sought, through pro-
posals to enter the permanent court of in
ternational justice, the legal branch of the
league. to place itself in a position to control
the league. On the other hand it has con-
spired to use representatives of Latin
American puppet governments to defend it's
interests in the league councils and as
semblies.
1t is quite evident that the latter motive,
the desire to use government agents serving
the mperialist interests of the United States
in Latin America prompted the action of the
delegates of Cuba, Venezuela and Chile in
visiting the renegade socialist, Aristide
BRAND foreign minister of France, the other
day, and pleading with him to use his in
fluence to obtain for them seats on the coun-
Gil of the League of Nations. The Cuban
delegate is just as much an agent of Yankee
tyranny as though his credentials were
signed by Kellogg at the state department at
Washington. The Venezuelan government is
largely dominated by the Mellon and other
American oil interests. The government -

CLEVELAND, ON the name
of the Young Pioneers of Cleveland
a new campaign has begun in this
city against the use of corporal
punishment in the schools.
The particular issue around
which this campaign centers is the
case of 14-year -old 9Th grade pu-
pill, who, because he failed to bring
his "gym suit" to school, was COM
PEELED to run around a track five
times, which completely exhausted
him, and then was forced into a
cold shower. He has been in bed
with bad case of the "flu" for
three weeks, as the result of the
brutality of the gym teacher.
This is only one instance. Last
year there was case of boy who
came home with a black eye in
flicted by his teacher; of boy who
went through the "spats" (the
gauntlet, a line of 80 boys, each of
whom pummelled him in punish
ment for failure to bring along his
gym suit); of child who dropped
dead of heart failure while running
on the track as punishment, and
cases throughout the city which
were never reported.
In several schools, especially Ire
mont and Woodland schools, in
working class neighborhoods, there
is mechanical padding machine,
which is used regularly and often.
Only Workers Children Hurt.
Last year the board of education
gave official permission to teachers
to use their own discretion in the
use of corporal punishment, and
they have used plenty Of punish
ment.
There is zone thing outstanding
about all cases which have been re-
ported publicly, and all reports
which are gotten from school chill
dren. That is that this punishment,
and excessive punishments, take
place in the working class neigh
borhoods, in schools which are
crowded with workers children. In
all of these schools there are many
cases of children who fail to bring
along certain supplies because their
parents cannot afford to buy them
In all the schools the children must
eventually quit school and tramp
the streets hunting for work. In all
these schools the children who are
punished are always the children OF
the workers.
Complete Persecution. ~
These facts make perfectly clear
the reason for the regular punish
ment used in the schools. The whole
system is an education in obedience

Chile wavers between Britain and the United
States, but economic power will decide which
way that fascist government, maintaining
power through mass murders perpetrated
against the working class of it's own country,
will finally go. A survey of the rapidity with
(which American finance capital is displacing
british control of Chile indicates the policy
that will eventually dominate.
Thus while the kept press of the world
talks about the league as an institution that
will make more difficult the outbreak of an
other war, even a cursory study of the actual
proceedings of the league reveals it as a nest
of imperialist duplicity where the diplomats
of the various countries are maneuvering for
realignment of forces preparatory to the next
world war.
There is but one international organization
that really carries on struggle against i'm
perialist war and that is the organization
that coordinates the activities of the Com
munist Parties of the whole world-the Com
munist International 1t is only the working
class and the peasant masses that have in
terests that are identical throughout the
world, hence only an international represent
ing their interests can avail against i'm
perialism.

ers' children. The practice of pun
ishment is constant holding of a
threat over the head of the child.
In order to avoid trouble the child
does as he is told, speaks when he
is spoken to, thinks what he is
taught, and never oversteps the line.
That is the purpose of this punish
ment.
These children are going to be
workers soon. By the time they
reach the eighth grade, II out of
every 20 children in the elementary
schools in the city of Cleveland will
quit school and go out to hunt for
job. When they come to the en-
ployment agencies of the great
steel mills and automobile and ma
chine plants of Cleveland, the
bosses will demand certain quail
fications: they will demand that the
worker doesn't talk; that he doesn't
think too much; that he does as he
is told, and takes what he is given.
The ideal worker for the boss is
the one who has a strong back and
weak mind.
The bosses of Cleveland are
working hand in hand with the
board of education, and between the
two they are turning out good work
ers regularly every year.
The Young Pioneers demand the
complete abolition of corporal pun
ishment in Cleveland schools. They
demand that the Board of Education
shall open the entire question, and
change its former decision, and pro-
hibit teachers from using violence
on workers children.
The Young Pioneers, and the
Young Workers Communist League,
which is cooperating in this work,
call upon workers children in Cleve-
land schools to fight against punish
ment and support the Young Pio-
neers in their fight. We call upon
workers children to pass the resolu-
tions, and send them in to the dis
trict office, 2046 East 4th st. We
call upon working class parents to
bring their children into the Young
Pioneers and help us to carry on the
fight.
We demand the abolition Of cor
poral punishment. Support and y
the Young Pioneers.
At the same time the Young Pio-
neers will fight determinedly for
the demand: free books and supplies
for workers children.

Gunner for United Fruit Company

The government of Colombia is savagey
numbering part of its own working class
population at the behest of the United Fruit
Company. The government, itself, under
mass pressure of the workers, has placed pro-
tective insurance laws upon its statute books
providing for the company paying for injury
and accidents The United Fruit capitalists
refused to abide by the law. A strike ensued,
that now involves 10000 workers. It's pur-
pose was to force observance of the law
The treacherous character of the Colom-
bian government was clearly exposed when it
offered to mediate between the strikers and
the company. 1t was in the untenable position
of medating its own laws. But the company
was mmovable in it's determination to resist
the demands of the workers. The govern
ment, instead of defying the company, turned
with murderous fury upon the strikers and
has been waging open warfare against them
for more than a week. 1t is playing the role
of gunner for the fruit company.
This is a classic example of capitalist gov
ernmental respect for its own laws when they
may be of benefit to the working class.
Workers in Colombia are slain by mercenary
government troops because they demand the
enforcement of the laws of the government.
Their action is identical with the action Of
police and soldiery in the United States when
they club, shoot and disperse workers who
try to hold meetings in conformity with the
constitution of the United States Ali laws
of capitalist governments are class laws,
made for the purpose of enabling the master
class impose its will by force upon the work.
ing class. The capitalist hold them in con-
tempt when it is to their interests to do so,
but they expect workers to respect such laws
Such action as that of the Colombian govern
ment should teach workers to despise all capt.
talist laws and the class that makes them.
The striking workers of Colombia must
learn from this frightful struggle the same
lessons that other workers of n-America
have learned and are learning; that is that
one of the most effective methods of fight
ing American Imperialism is to overthrow
the puppet governments that serve Yankee
tyranny. By throttling such governments
the Latin-American masses can clear the way
for a general struggle of all Latin-America
to scourge from its territory all the agents of
American imperialism.
The Communists of the United States take
the lead today in arousing the working class
to give moral and financial aid to the Col
onlbian strikers on the Magdalena banana
plantations of the United Fruit Company, to
aid the heroic struggle of SANDING in Mic
aragua, to fight for the withdrawal of the
marines from Nicaragua, for the freedom of
Haiti and the immediate evacuation of Amer
lean armed forces from all colonies and semi
colonies. In this struggle we lay the basis
for united action of the working class and
the farmers of the United States with the
exploited masses of Latin-America in order
to deliver the death blow to imperialism.
