working class discipline. Not that
this discipline is enforced from

The Night Camp Fire.
On Saturday nights camp fires
are lighted, and programs arranged
for the evening. Last Saturday
night we had an opportunity to
observe the children themselves at
play. 1t was in the evening, after
supper, after day of sports activ-
ity, swimming, baseball, etc. The
children were relaxing-and enjoy
ing themselves. The fire was
started, wood was added to the slow
flame, and in a short time there
was large bright fire. The chill
dren were seated on benches. They
opened the program by reciting the
pledge and singing the International.
Following that, an entirely i'm
promptu program took place. Some
children recited poems, others

manifesto reiterates that most of
the Indonesian nationalist organiza-
tions have been united and CONSOLE
dated in the P. P. P. X. l. (Concen-

Dutch leadership by "the Indonesian

natural. And the manifesto ends
with the slogan: "By an indissoluble
united front we march towards In

The remarkable thing about this
manifesto is that it was issued by

The change of front of the gov

His speech is indeed bomb thrown
into the midst of the moderate ma

ton to the operators, and at
taches value to collaborating with
the government for the attainment
of Indonesian independence! Soon
after De Graeff's speech, "Budi

them to a "Union sacree" with ma

make a strong stand against the

ers in the countries themselves. The
militarists are endeavoring to make
US believe that this change in tech
MICS is disarmament, whilst in real
ity the disarmament conferences, in
Washington and other places, have
simply been yelled agreements for
increased armament. The working
class will not allow itself to be mis-
led in this manner, but will take up
the struggle against these new
forms of armies with utmost en-
ergy."
Further motions from julius
Deutsch, and from the American and
Dutch parties, were of little impor-
lance.
The Commission debate proved
extremely interesting. The propos-
ais of the I. L. P were more than
disagreeable to the assembled re-
formists and -Bolshevists. Rem
audel Breitscheid, julius Deutsch,
and the representatives of Polish
and Czech social democracy Joined
forces for violent attack upon the
British proposals, and in part upon
the Swiss. To these gentlemen it
appeared as something monstrous to
be called upon to congratulate the
Soviet government on it's sincere and
real peace policy. And they were
even more indignant at the thought
of paralyzing the key industries and
the manufacture of munitions in the
case of war. And on top of that the
demand for the refusal of war cred
its! This proposal was almost
unanimously, condemned as mon
sensical" and irresponsible" for a
estate" cannot be refused the means
for it's defense" A principle which
formed natural part of class war
policy in the Socialist international
before the war-the refusal of all
military credits--is merely "irre-
sponsible" in the eyes of the Estates
men" of the Brussels Congress.
Withdraws Motion.
After a few somewhat violent
clashes the British Labour Party
withdrew it's motion, which it had
not taken very seriously in any case,
and the sub-commission then ap-
pointed incorporated few of the
radical phrases contained in the mo-
lions of the l. L. P and the Swiss
party, emitting, it need scarcely be
said, any mention of concrete fight
ing measures.
The congratulation of the Soviet
government on it's disarmament pro-
posal was rejected!
The demand for the organization
of the resistance of the working
class against war was rejected, as
also the demand for closing down
the key industries and the manufac-
ture of munitions!

Social Imperialism.
The resolution, in this crippled
form, was naturally passed without
difficulty by the Congress. This dis
armament resolution is a typical
document of reformism and social
Imperialism. A series of pseudo
radical phrases conceal the fact that
this resolution accords every single
national labor party perfect free
dom, and places it under no obliga-
ton whatever, either now or at the
moment of war danger, to undertake
any proletarian action again imper-
ialism. The resolution reeks of
League. of Nations cretinism and
sickening disarmament chatter.
The clouds of verbosity spread by
the imperialist bandits in Geneva,
for the purpose of concealing in
creased ornaments behind the shield
of disarmament, have been efficient
ly initiated by their assistants in
Brussels. Even where they speak of
political measures at all. not one of
the parties dreams of executing
them. One example suffices. The
resolution demands:
"Restriction of financial expendi-
ture for army and fleet" and states
further:
"The Labour and Social Interna-
tional emphasizes the necessity of
accelerating disarmament action.
Apart from the struggle for the in
ternational disarmament agreement.
the socialist labor parties will con-
tinue to fight in order that every
State will previously, of its own will
either cease or limit its ornaments"
On the very same day upon which
Breitscheid, Crispien, and Lobe were
expressing their agreement to this
principle in Brussels, Herman Null
Ter and Hilferding were voting for
the building of the new armored
cruiser, Henderson and Macdonald,
Renaudel and Boncour, Hilferding
and Breitscheid, to say nothing of
the Polish and Czech social demo-
Gratis, who have hitherto granted
practically all the means required
for increased ornaments, have not
the slightest intention of adhering
to this resolution. They know very
we'll that paper is very patient. Bon
cour's military law, MacDonald's air
fleet, and the German armored
cruiser, are striking evidence of the
revolving disarmament hypocrisy of
the reformists assembled in Brus-
sells. How little these gentlemen
take their talk of disarmament seri-
ously may be further seen from the
fact that they rejected the British
motion for the convocation of the
disarmament conference before the
end of this year, substituting the
non-committal formula: "The dis
armament conference is to be con-
vened as soon as possible"
The cleft" social democrats point
out that the resolution really does
d e m n revolutionary measures
against warning governments. Is
this really SO? The passage in ques-
ton reads:
"The Labor and Socialist Inter

tional conflicts be subject to the de-

OFFICERS of British ships touch

home those days with terrible tales
of Communist attempts to extract
whatever germs of imperialism re-
main in the systems of the British
sailors. Apparently the Bolshevik
propaganda is having some effect,
as the officers complain that the
sailors are not near as docile on
their return trip as they were when
outward bound.
IT appears that as soon as a

pressure of the masses, even in the
most revolutionary form, is to be
exercised against any government
which, in the event of an interna-
tional dispute, refuses to submit to
arbitration award and proceeds to
war"
Boncour's Militarism.
Quite apart from the fact that
the national defenders assembled at
Brussels will certainly side with
their own fatherlands when the next
war breaks out and have purposely
invented a vague formulation for
the passage on arbitration, this
passage is further a deliberate sup
port to anti-Bolshevist war agita-
ton, for it may easily be interpreted
to give opportunity to capitalist
powers to pronounce an arbitration
award against proletarian Soviet
Russia.
The whole passage on the 'demo-
cratization of the army" is on the
one side confirmation of Boncour's
incredible military law, and on the
other a formula that the other So
cial imperialist parties will simply
laugh at. The resolution demands
the removal of all barriers dividing
the army from the people, the Sc
curing of civil rights for the SOL
diers, etc. All these are demands
which the German social democrats,
for instance, have already trodden
under foot dozens of times. With
the aid of formula stating that
the army must not be politized, they
have rejected every motion brought
in by the Communists for the suf-
frage and coalition rights of the
Reichswehr soldiers.
The Brussels resolution is an
empty and non-committal social i'm
perialist document, evidencing only
too plainly the nationalist spirit of
this II. International, a document
taken seriously by nobody, and only
fit to be slowed away in the League
of Nations disarmament commission
archives. 1t is characteristic that
the resolution meets with the ap-
proval of the Austro- Marxists, as
well as of the left phrasemongers
of the |. L. P. and the Swiss Social
Democratic Party.
The bourgeois press has readily
recognized the real character of the
Brussels disarmament resolution.
and takes it no more seriously than
it does the disarmament resolutions
of the League of Nations. The ac-
tual effect of the Brussels resolu-
ton is therefore to favor and pro-
mote imperialist war danger, for it
confirms the bourgeoisies in their
faith that they may confidently rely
on their social-imperialist accom-
plices. In spite Of all phraseology,
the Brussels Congress has there
fore actually been a congress for
the preparation of the next imperi-
alist bloodbath.
For their own sake, for the sake
of their struggle for emancipation
and their international war against
war, the class-conscious working
class have every reason to defend
themselves energetically against the
Brussels disarmament comedy. At
the same time they call to the social
democratic workers and class com
rades: "Give up all hope in this
pseudo-international, and join the
one and only proletarian interna-
tional, the Communist Interna-
tional"
