FRENCH HOLIDAY
CELEBRATED
IN AIR

A wall Of thick atmosphere
seemed to come between tOuu
speakers and outside broadcast
programs last evening-Wnich Is
probably a most unscientlflc way
Of recording the fact that lew
outside stations could De tuneu'
There was noise from local elec'
trio storms and code interference
but in most eases there wasn't
a hint of music or entertainment
at the places on the dials these
things are usually found.
One of the things a city editor
misses from radio programs-n any
city editors have time to listen to-
broadcasts-is the presentation or
occasional celebrations - for occa-
sions like today, for instance, which
is Bastile Day, the French Fourth
of July. One of the principal jobs
of an up and doing city editor is
assigning a good man to writes
these occasional stories and keep up
with the calendar of holidays and
anniversaries so that the material
will be in hand we'll in advance.
This obvious program material
and it would be corking good pro-
gram material, tools almost
wholly overlooked by radio program
makers and it would seem to at
least one ex-city editor that they
are overlooking a very fruitful
source OF material.
There was, however, an I'M
usually good Bastile Day program
presented last night during the reg
ular Evening in Paris" affair OF
the cosmetic subsidy that utilizes
Friday evenings for its broadcast
advertising. "Manon" and Peaches"
the two heroines of the program
continuity, spent their evening Wis
fling the Paris cafes and part1ci-
pating in the unforgettable Bastile
Day Eve celebrations when all Paris
turns out to get running start for
the next days outbursts. The pro-
gram was very we'll developed and
presented in fine style-as all these
powder puff and rouge affairs have
been.
NOVELTIES ON
WMAL PROGRAM
Two novelties were presented
during the WMAL evening that
probably attracted more than usual
attention. Owing to program defec-
ton, William 4. GriInshaw. an old

ing affairs with a number of old
time songs played in an old time
way.
The second novelty was Evelyn
Spelicy, deaf person who played
q violin recital on very rich toned
old instrument valued at $4,000. The
WMAL affairs of the evening also
included the debut Of a negro sing
ing organization, the Crescendo Male
Chorus, directed by George w.
Brown, with Mrs. Brown playing
accompaniment.
Otherwise the chief interest in
the evening was the announcement
by Phil Carlin that the Palmolivers
will take the time left vacant by
the Goodrich program and on and
after July rs will be heard at $50 OF
a Wednesday instead Of Fridays as
heretofore.

3. The Condition of the international Revolu-
tionary Movement and the Signs of a
Renewed Revolutionary Advance.

/ and flow. This was the case even IN
Russia, and thus it will also be in
China. The most important event of
the Chinese revolution was the fact
! that it put into movement hundreds
of millions of exploited persons, un-
masked t The counter-revolutionar
spirit of the clique of generals, tore
the mask from the face of the Kuom-
intang gcounter-revolutionary lackeys,
confirmed the authority of the Com
munist Party, put the entire move
ment on higher level, that of the So
Wet organization, and awakened new
hopes in the breasts of millions in
India, Farther India, etc. Only blind
men or towards can doubt that the
Chinese peasants and workers will
/, proceed to another revolutionary
movement.
AS regards the revolutionary move
ment among the working class in
Europe, we can here too observe def
mite signs of a turn to the Left and
revival of revolutionary activity.
Such facts as the British general
strike and the struggle of the British
miners, the revolutionary action Of
the workers in Vienna, the revolution
ary manifestations in France and
Germany in connection with the mur-
der of Sacco and Vanzetti, the cleo
toral successes of the Communists of
Germany and Poland, the obvious diff
ferentiation in the labor movement in
England, in which the leaders proceed
to the Right and the workers to the
Left, the deterioration of the Second
International into a mere appendix
of the imperialist League of Nations,
the diminishing authority of the So
cial Democratic party in the broad
masses of the workers, the general
growth of the influence of the Com
intern and it's sections among the
workers of all countries, the growing
influence of the Societ Union among
the oppressed classes of all the
world, the Congress of the Friends Of
the Soviet Union-all these facts
show Enthusiastically that Europe is en-
tering upon a new phase of revolu-
tionary activity.
If an event like the murder of Sacco
and Vanzetti could arouse such gigan-
tic manifestations of public opinion,
it is a proof that there is pent up
revolutionary energy among the
workers, energy which is only wait
ing for the opportunity to flare up
and attack the capitalist regime. We
are on the eve of new revolutionary
advance both in the colonies and in
the mother countries.
Sterilization has engendered new
revolutionary rise.

GAY The growth of armaments and
the organization of new coalitions do
not suffice for the purpose of making
war. 1t is also necessary to secure
the hinterland in the capitalist coun-
tries. There is not single capitalist
country that could wage war serious
ly without having first secured the
hinterland and gagged 'its" workers
and ats" colonies. Hence the general
development of the policy OF the bour-
geois governments in the direction
of Fascism. 1t is no matter Of chance
that power should now be in the
hands of the Right Bloc in France,
of the s-Deterding Urquhart bloc
in England, the bourgeois bloc in Ger
many, the military party in Japan,
and the Fascist governments in Po-
land and Italy.
Hence the pressure on Che working
class, hence the trade disputes and
Trades Union law in England, the law
of national defence in France, the
abolition of the eight-hour day in a
number of states, and the combined
attack of the bourgeoisie on the prole-
tariat.
Hence the increased pressure on the
colonies and dependent states, the re-
enforcement of the imperialist armies
in these countries to a total strength
of one million 100000 thereof sta
toned in the British possessions and
spheres of influence).
(b) 1t is not difficult to compre-
hend that this inhuman pressure on
the part of the Fascist governments
should meet with the resistance of the
oppressed nations, the colonies, and
the working class at home. Facts
like the development of the revolu-
tionary movement in China, Indonesia
and India cannot remain without in
fluence on the fate of international
Imperialism. Judge for yourselves.
Of the 1905 million inhabitants of the
entire globe, 1,134 millions live in the
colonies or semi-colonies, 143 millions
in the Soviet Union, 264 millions in
the intermediate countries, and only
1863 millions in the great imperalist
countries which oppress the colonies
and semi-colonies.
1t is obvious that the revolutionary
awakening Of the colonial countries
marks the beginning of the end of
world Imperialism. The fact that the
Chinese revolution has not yet led to
the direct victory over Imperialism
cannot be of decisive Importance for
the prospects of the revolution itself.
The great popular revolutions never
win through at a blow. They grow
and extend subject to certain ebb

carno spirit" etc.-what is all this
but a system for the preparation of
new wars and the array of forces for
the Forthcoming military conflicts
Or let us take the following facts.
Between 1913 and 1927, the numeric
strength of the armies of France,
Great Britain, Italy, the United
States and Japan together increased
from 1,888,000 to 2,262,O0O. In the
same period the military budgets of
the said countries grew from 2,345
to 3,948 million gold rubles. The
number of fighting airplanes of these
five countries rose from 1855 in 1925
to 4,340 in 1927. The tonnage of the
cruisers of these five Powers rose
from 744,000 in 1922 to $4,000 in
1926. The situation of war-chemistry
may be illustrated by the following
declaration of General Fries, the chief
of the chemical war service of the
United States:
can aero-chemical bomb, weigh
ing $50 kilograms and filled with
lewisite can make ten precincts of
New York uninhabitable for at
least q week, while a hundred tens
lewisite, flung down from fifty air.
planes, can have the same effect
on the entire city,"
What else do these facts prove but
that preparations are being made
with full steam for renewed warfare =?
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-13

These are the results of the "peace
policy" and the disarmament policy"
of the bourgeois states in general and
of the League of Nations and the So
cial Democratic toadies in particular.
Formerly the growth of arma-
ments was explained by the exictence
of a Germany armed to the teeth.
Now this justification" has col
lapsed. Is it not obvious that this
growth of armaments is necessitated
by the need of new wars among the
imperialist Powers and that the war
spirit forms the nucleus of the Lo-
carno spirit?
l believe the present 'peace rela-
tions" may be compared with worn
out shirt, consisting of rags scantily
kept together by thin threads. You
need but tug little at these threads
or tear them quite a little, and the en-
tire shirt will fall apart, leaving moth
ing but rags. You need but scratch
the present peaceful relations" at
some spot or other, somewhere in AL
bania or in Lithuania or in China or
America, and the whole construction
Ct peaceful relationS vii collapse. So
it was before the last imperialist war,
when the Sarajevo murder led to the
outbreak of hostilities. So it is again
today.
From stabilization there results the
inevitability of new imperialist wars

2. The international Policy of Capitalism and the
Preparation for New Imperialist Wars

(a) In this connection the question
of redistribution of the world and of
the spheres of influence which repre-
sent the foundations of the foreign
market, is now the crucial question
of international capitalist politics.
already pointed out that the present
distribution of the colonies and
spheres of influence which resulted
as an outcome of the last imperialist
war, is already obsolete. 1t contents
neither the United States, which is
desirous of penetrating into Asia
China in particularly and are no long
er satisfied with South America, nor
yet Great Britain, which is losing its
hold on the Dominions and on num-
ber of very important markets in the
Orient, nor yet Japan, which is just
now disturbed" in China by Great
Britain and America; no more does
it content Italy or France, which have
innumerable bones of contention both
in the Danubian states and in the
Mediterranean; finally, it by nc
means pleases Germany, which is still
without colonies. Hence the genera
desire for redistribution of the mar.
kets and raw-material sources. 1t re-
mains to be added that the Asiatie
markets and the routes thereto are
the main objects of conflict.
This gives rise to number of
knotty points, representing whole foci
of new conflicts. One of these points
lis the so-called Pacific problem, the
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-13

antagonism between America, Japan,
and Great Britain, a source of strife
as to the hegemony in Asia and the
countries giving access thereto. An
other is the Mediterranean problem,
the antagonism between Great Brit
ain, France, and Italy, as source
of strife to the predominance on the
shores of the Mediterranean and as
to the control of the nearest route to
the East. Yet another point is the
aggravation Of the oil problem be-
tween England and America, for
without oil there is no possibility OF
waging war and whoever has the ad-
vantage in regard to oil has the best
prospects of victory in the coming g
conflict.
Only recently Chamberlain's latest
plan for the settlement of the Medi-
terranean problem was published in
the English press. For the accuracy
of this plan l cannot guarantee, but
that its publication was symptomatic
cannot be doubted. The plan was as
follows. The Syrian mandate" to
pass from the hands Of France into
those of Italy, Tangier to be left to
France against financial compensa-
tion to Spain, Germany to get back
the Cameroons, Italy to pledge her.
self to cease all intrigues on the
Balkans, etc. All this naturally pro-
ceeds under the flag of the fight
against the Soviets. No villainy is
now committed without the Soviets

ism. The aggravation of the market
problem in general and that of the
foreign markets in particular, quite
especially as regards the market for
capital expectation, is characteristic
of the present state of capitalism.
This is really the explanation of the
fact that the insufficient degree of
occupation in the works and factories
has become an everyday phenomenon.
The strengthening of the customs
barriers is only oil on the flames. In
the limits of its present markets and
spheres of influence, capitalism is be-
ginning to feel cramped. The peace
full attempts to solve the market prob
lem have led to no positive result,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-13

nor could they lead to any. The we'll
known declaration of the bankers in
1926 in regard to the freedom of
trade ended in failure. The economic
conference of the League of Nations
in the year 1927, which set as it's
aim the alliance of economic inter-
ests" of the capitalist countries, like
wise ended in a fiasco. The peaceful
way of solving the market problem
is closed to capitalism, which thus
has only one way left to choose, viz,
a redistribution of the colonies and
spheres of influence by force of arms,
collisions, and new imperial
ist wars.
