N E w S

THERE is sweeping movement OF
mergers and consultations in
American industry. In fact it is now
safe to say that practically all OF
American trade is passing into the
hands of big combines.
A half billion oil merger has just
been announced. A two hundred mil
lion bank merger is being planned In
San Francisco. A huge coal combina-
ton involving 80 corporations with an
output of 80 million tons, is being
organized in Virginia and West Vir-
ginia. Tremendous consultations in
volving hundreds of millions of dol
lars are taking place among the pub
lie utility organizations.
These mergers are of immeasur-
able significance for the American
workers. Only the blind or the trail
torous of the type of Green, Vol,
Hillquit, Berger and Company, can
either fail to see these events or re-
fuse to prepare against them.
AS against the gigantic corpora
tions of American capital, we have
today the archaic, long out-of date,
backward craft organizations Of la
Dor. Small wonder that these are be-
ing wiped, out. If the present ten
dency continues as shown in the con-
ditions of the United Mine Workers
Of America, Mr.. Green, Mr.. Woll, Mr..
Noonan and the rest of the comfort
able heroes now enjoying themselves
in Miami. Florida, will very soon be
openly working as personnel man
ayers of big corporations. They will
be labelled, of course, as leaders of
trade unions which are mere employ
ment bureaus to supply docile, obedi-
ent, efficient workers.
While big capital moves forward,
Green is moving backward. That's
the essence of union-managementt CO.
operation. .
And that's the price we pay-wage
cuts, heightened hours, smashed
unions, injunctions, lockouts and war.

petty bourgeois liberals are ready t.

to catch them. They share and

the Norman Thomases, the Hillquits

by the most merciless struggle
against the socialist party and the
labor bureaucrats, who conceal their
alliance with imperialism by mislead-

prepare for the real struggle against
the imperialists and imperialist war
and bring real support to the strug-
giles for Nicaraguan liberation, for
the emancipation of the Chinese peo-
pie, for the defense of the Soviet
Union, and against the iron ring
which the inperialists of all coun-
tries are trying to fasten around the
first Workers and Peasants Repub-
lie. This task the Workers (Com-
munist) Party is carrying on, as wa
demonstrated at the huge meeting in
Madison Square Garden. This task
the entire membership must fulfill
with the most intensive effort.

NICARAGUA, PACIFISM AND THE
REVERAND NORMAN THOMAS

This liberal and socialist parliament
tartan who believes that parliament
tary elections are the road to the
salvation of the working class does
not see the elections carried out with
American army forces on the spot
are only farce to fool the workers
in America and in Nicaragua.
An Imperialist View.
Why not elections by the Mica
raguan people without the presence
of American marines or the interven-
ton of the armed forces of any i'm
perialist powers? Are not the Mica
raguan people capable of solving
their own affairs or does Mr.. Thomas
believe them to be a backward peo-
pie incapable of self-government."
This proposal of Norman Thomas
smacks of the familiar "White Mans
Burden" argument of all imperialists.
1t shows that he has the same con-
ceptiens regarding the Nicaraguan.
Central American, Chinese, Hindu and
all other oppressed peoples as do
the imperialists who argue that they
assume the Burden" of maintain
ing their armed forces in these coun-
tries for the benefit of these same
oppressed masses.
SANDING is struggling against
Diaz, the president of Nicaragua ap-
pointed by Wall Street, who is kept
in power only by the armed forces of
American Imperialism. The Mica
raguan people can be free only when
they unite with the other oppressed
peoples of Latin-America and with
the world proletariat, to drive the
imperialist forces from power and es-
tablish a government that rests upon
the armed power of the Nicaraguan
working class and peasants, supported
by their allies, the workers and peas
ants of the world.
Betray Class Struggle.

The DAILY WORKER is the only
labor paper in English which carries
on the struggle against American i'm
perialism and against the employers
and the treachery of the labor bureau
cracy which have with their policy
of DISQUALIFICATION brought the
American labor movement to a point
of destruction.
Though the language press is one
of the important weapons in the
struggle of the American working
class, we realize that it is our utmost
duty to strengthen and build The
DAILY WORKER into a mass organ
that leads and centralizes the strug-
giles of all the sections of the Amer

1t will be the most appropriate
greeting to the fourth anniversary Of

Editor, DAILY WORKER:
I was to the old Labor Temple,
2271s Yamhill ST., Portland, Ore, last
night and the night before to hear
one of the best, if not the very best,
labor speakers I've heard in thirty
years: Ben Gitlow, Communist from
New York City.
He took as his subject the first
night, Coolidge Prosperity and Work
ing Class Misery" and the next night,
"The Workers and Peasants Revo-
luton in China"
The hall was crowded on both oc-
casions, even though twenty five
cents admission was charged; the
audience on both nights contributed
literally when the hat was passed
around, some giving five dollars bills.
He explained Communism so
thoroughly that even a Missourian
could grasp the idea. He surely made
the audience laugh heartily when he
mentioned the million women's names
in the petition to President Coolidge
for "peace." Kal told them they
could add his name to the list. The
floor was open for questions and five
minute discussions both nights.

"Join the army" was the reply
given to me by a parasitic looking
fat man in charge of the State En-
ployment Bureau, of whom have in
vain begged for work for several
weeks.
Our generous patriarchs are MAIN
tanning an extensive office, feeding
number of politicians and soft job
individuals, but no effort is being
made by them to provide employment
for starving workers, who face cold
and hunger.
To make matters look fine every
one applying for work is registered
and subjected to regular cross-ex-
animation.
Among the questions are: Are you
member of some club or party; are
you citizen; were you ever jailed;
have you ever taken charity? etc.

bands of men, upon whose faces there
is inscribed the grim sign of starva-

The more fortunate ones return to

At night the Salvation Army gets
busy; into it's dirty halls along the

THE danger of world war is no
longer a matter of speculation.
The imperialist powers are preparing
for war with mad speed. Imperial
list rivalries can no longer be con-
cealed under the veil of diplomatic
phrases. The struggle between Stan
ard Oil and the Royal Dutch Shell
interests for control of the oil resour-
ces is approaching an acute stage of
open warfare involving the two
mightiest imperialist powers of the
world-the United States and Great
Britain-which means another world
war. These oil trusts do not mince
words regarding the situation. They
declare that the struggle for oil is
now battle which must be fought
to the finish.
American imperialism is active. on
all sides: American marines in Mica
ragua, Coolidge in Havana, American
battleships in China, the huge arm
ament plans of the Coolidge admin
istration, Lindbergh's tour to Mexico
and Central America, the announce
ment of the new governor of the
Philippines, Mr.. Stimson, that he will
pursue the policy of General Wood,
the naval maneuvers in the Pacific
these are not isolated events; they
are part of one imperialist chain
which shows that American finance
capital is determined completely to
subjugate Latin-America, in which il
now has five billion dollars invested,
and to obtain hegemony in the Pa
cific.
American imperialism is driven to
this course by the need for raw ma
terlals and new markets and by the
necessity of causing a redistribution
of the colonies in order to secure
fields for the investments of its i'm
mense surplus of finance capital. The
American imperialists are preparing
for war, for they know best that their
struggle for the domination of the
worlds markets and for the export
OF finance capital cannot be avoided
by diplomacy, open or secret, or by
disarmament conferences and soft
prayer words by President Coolidge
The rivalries must be fought out by
test of military strength such as
occurred in the last World War. The
diplomats of the imperialists try with
fine phrases to gloss over these deep
differences between the imperialist
powers, but the military men speak
right out. Admiral Plunkett knows
whereof he speaks when he saws

army and navy.

the working class and keeps it con-
fused and disorganized in order that
it may be taken by surprise and pre-
vented from organizing resistance tc
mobilization and war. The world is
already more an armed camp than it
was in 1914. Inflammable antagon-
isms have accumulated to an extent
that the slightest spark may start
the conflagration.
AT this moment the greatest aid to
the bourgeoisie and the greatest
enemy to the working class are the
paclfists and social patriots--the
Greens and VOLS, the HilIquits, the
Thomases and the Garrison Wizards.
These pacifists who stand for the

struggle between the working class
and the capitalists bring this same
