worthy lieutenant commander of the British
army, that the danger of war between the
United States and Britain 'is as real as was
the war between Great Britain and Germany
in 1906" and concluded with the warning,
I'VE are heading straight for the same
tragedy as 1914" Instead of permitting
further discussion of the question Macdonald
announced that he would demand in the
house of commons that the British govern
ment publish the details of the Anglo-French
naval pact.
Of course it would be an absurd thing to
'upbraid Macdonald for not offering pro-
posals to fight the war danger In view of
the known treachery of Macdonald, to ask
him or the labor party to lead a struggle
against world war would be playing directly
into their hands-it would be piece of rank
opportunism.
If the labor party conference really repre-
sented labor instead of the imperalists the
leaders would have launched a terrific drive
against the heroes of secret diplomacy the
war-mongers, and all their agents.
The conference only reveals Macdonald,
Snowden, Lansbury & Co. playing their fam
liar role of sowing pacifist illusions in an
effort to keep the working class helpless and
at the complete mercy of their assassins, the
ruling class.
Such is the role of the heroes of the sec
ond (socialist) international throughout the
world. The only reason the Rev. Norman
Thomas, Morris Hillquuit, James Oneal and
the rest of the socialist party leaders. of
America do not now play the same role as
their British comrades, Macdonald and his
associates in England is because they are
not regarded as necessary to the American
imperialists' scheme of things, for the sim
pie reason that the American socialist party
has no influence over the working class

Conference of Traitors

Each conference of the British labor party,
each utterance of its leaders, proclaims anew
the debased role of that aggregation as
lackeys of imperialism.
The exclusion of Communists by Ramsey
Macdonald, Phillip Snowden, George Lands
bury and company is nothing new. 1t was
fully expected. 1t is tribute to the Com
munists. as the leaders of the class-conscious
workers, that the labor party leaders as
sailed them. To have been praised or even
admitted to the conference of traitors would
have degraded the Communists in the eyes
of hundreds of thousands of workers who
have learned to despse these apologists for
Imperialism.
Nor do the British Communists ask adj
mittance to such conference. They realize
full well that since the labor party was in of
flee there is no further need to even pro-
pose a united front with them in order to
gain influence over workers still under ilu-
sons regarding the role of Macdonald Co.
The only way now left to win the masses
away from the laborite swindlers is an open
fight against them on all fronts.
Typical of the Shiny depths to which labor
ism in Britain has sunk was the reaction of
Macdonald to the declaration of j. M. Ken

Religious Tolerance in Politics

State candidates of the two old party tick
cts were selected with view to catering to
religious prejudices, now that the religious
issue has been raised by the Roman catholic
governor of New York who yelps persecution
in order to gain sympathy among the voters
The religious question is fine smoke-screen
to conceal the absence of vital issues between
the contestants
On the republican side we have the spec
tacle of Jew, Albert Ottinger, being nom
mated for governor in the hope of aiding
Herbert Hoover, quaker, carry the state of
New York On the democratic side we see
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, a protestant and
Herbert II. Lehman, a Jew, nominated for
offices of governor and lieutenant governor
to help All Smith, a catholic, carry the state
Among the sentimental driveers this is
regarded as progress against religious in
tolerance. To the revolutionist, who regards
with a critical scientific eye the sacred insti-
buttons Of the ruling class, it is only evidence
that all creeds, all churches, all temples of
ignorance and superstition and fear, no mat
ter what god or sets of gods they profess to
worship, are useful to the capitalist class.
Hoover Smith, Ottinger, Roosevelt, Leh-
man are not nominated because of their re-
ligion, but because they are all trusted SER
wants of imperialism.
Religious tolerance itself has a very in
teresting history At certain stage in
human society, the tribal stage, each social
unit, or tribe, had its own god who was op-
posed to all other gods. When commerce be-
gan to develop, that is, when a stage was
reached where the community was able to
produce more than was required for the con-
sumption of its members, the tribes had to
enter into economic relations with each other.
Hence religious tolerance arose in order to
protect the "infidel' merchants who came to
buy and sell. AS tribes merged into nations,
there arose national gods When Rome be-
came a great power religious tolerance made
great Roadway as indicated by Gibbon who,
in his Decline and Fall of the Roman EN-
pre- said "The Greek, the Roman, the Bar
barian all bowed in one temple before their
respective alters and came to believe that
under different names, they all worshipped
the same god" I.
Here in the United States of America
there is one god before whom all the CAPT
taist polticians-catholic, Jew, protestant
quaker-crawl in worshipful awe, the god of
Wall Street, whose shrine is glittering gold,
and which is built, as we're the temples of
old, upon the backs of bleeding slaves.

ty from his own subservient jury
In the trial of Tom Mooney,
Charles Organ refused a bride from
the police to give false evidence.
His trial, however, was an. even
more horrible farce than that of
Billings, and he was sentenced by
Judge Griffin to death in May,
1917, on the false evidence of the
prosecution witnesses, ex-convicts,
gamblers, gunner and prostitutes.
After the Russian revolution in
the spring of 1917, a demonstration
in Petrograd before the American
embassy for the release of Tom
Mooney centered world attention
upon the case. International labor
protests followed. On presentation
of new evidence an exposure pub

The present time presents an ex-
cellent opportunity for the renewal
of the fight for the release of these
two comrades.
The intricate and hideous struc-
ture of perjury, bribery, corruption
conspiracy and vicious class justice
has not broken the spirit of Mooney
and Billings. Like Sacco and Van

ultimate success of the labor move
ment over capitalism is unshake-

to characterize the whole legal

One was prostitute, Estelle
Smith, alias Moore, alias Starr, a
star witness for the state, who had
been previously charged with muir
der and who confessed after the
Billings conviction that she had
committed perjury in giving testi-
mony for the prosecution in the ex-
pectation of sharing in the blood
money that was offered as a re-
ward for conviction. Her mother
also confessed perjury later. She
had been promised a pardon for her
husband who was then in prison for
a forgery. The paramour of the
prostitutes mother gave false evil
dence also, after being threatened
by the police for prosecution for
adultery and who has been convicted
as a thief and later released by the
police to lie against Billings.
