Mr.. Kellogg Explains That "Peace"
Means War

There is something genuinely appropriate
in the fact that the repository for the official
documents of the imperialist Kellogg Pact is
in the capital of the country where half the
worlds gold supply is-the United States.
And many bourgeois newspapers in Euro
pean countries are already interpreting the
Kellogg maneuver as one which takes the
wind out of the sails of the League of Ma
tions, tending to transfer from Great Britain
to the United States the leading role in the
imperialist struggle for world domination.
Kellogg's trip to Ireland on a United States
warship Immediately after signing the Pact
is explained by his longing to play on the
beautiful golf grounds" of the American
legation at Dublin and his wifes desire to
visit lady friend there, but diplomacy is not
such game as can be explained with such
Gopher Prairie motives. The formalities of
visits on warships by heads of departments
of state to heads of foreign states are in
variably taken seriously in capitalist diplo-
macy. When the U. S. warship Detroit takes
Kellogg to Ireland without touching at an
English port, we do not suddenly lose our
memory for the fact that the antagonism of
English and American Imperialism is the
pivot around which all the contradictions
within the capitalist world revolve at the
present time.
The lead is forced out of the hands of
England and into the hands of the Wall
Street clerk in the white house. Not that
England is paid nothing in the DEAL She is
given what will be called, in the coming world
war, legal sanction for military action to
carry through her imperialist program as
against the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics and in a certain field of colonial de-
predations So is France given concessions
as represented by the French reservations.
But the hegemony is taken into the hands of
Wall Street government.
The Kellogg Pact altogether marks sharp
push forward in the development of the
world situation of alignment and intrigue for
war. THAT is the only sense in which it is
a forward step'O.
Several capitalist correspondents have
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-08-30

pointed out that it is absolutely certain that
all nations of the world will be involved in
the next war. The fact that larger num-
Der of governments have signed the Kellogg
Pact than signed the League of Nations cove
nant is only another expression of such sit
uatlon There is no doubt that the central
point of the international relations of the
whole world is the policy of the inperialist
nations of encircling the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics. A series of treaties estab-
fishing alliances for hostile action against the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, is the
central point of what is called the Status
quo in international relations. Bear this in
mind when thinking of Kelloggs assurances
to France and England that there is no Sin
consistency" between the Kellogg Pact and
previously existing treaties Remember that
the Pact just signed at Paris is qualified by
a preamble declaring its purpose to per-
petuate the existing" relations between
nations.
Then take a look at Kellogg's letter to the
48 nations drumming from Albania to Vene-
zuela but excluding the Soviet Union) con-
veying the invitation to sign the already
fixed terms of the Pact Kellogg explains,
perhaps more clearly than he intended, the
reason why the fifteen governments ex-
clusively were picked as privileged to form
the terms of the Pact and to be the original
signatories. The choice of the same nations
that signed the imperialist treaty of Locarno
is explained in part by Kellogg's letter which
says:
g.. it also settled satisfactorily the ques-
ton whether there any inconsistency be-
tween the treaty and the treaty of
LOcarno thus meeting the observations of the
French government as to the necessity of ex-
tending the number of original signatories.'
Unless one is so naive as to think the Lo-
carno treaty was not part of the imperialist
war maneuvers of the recent past, Kellogg's
own words written just before sailing on the
warship to visit his lady friends in Dublin
are convincing. The peace" pact is a step
in the preparations for imperialist war;
The necessity of defense of the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics by the working
class and exploited farmers of all countries
becomes by these events living reality
greater than ever before

convince our readers that this is
not fairy tale. Here goes:
"Al Smith has spoken out. His
acceptance speech is worthy of the
man and of the office which he
seeks. 1t is one of the finest state
documents which has grown out of
the American political scene since
our entrance into the World War
set a blight upon our hopes for po-
litical progress. There is an hon
est, straightforward ring to his
words that was lacking in the COM
placent generalities of his rival for
office. Against Hoover's SNUG as
surance that No one can rightly
deny the fundamental correctness of

that it cannot be made better We
do not see how any progressive,
reading the two speeches, can fail
to feel that Smith would make the
better president"
This is dirty crack at Thomas,
who is not even limited at, let alone
mentioned. And Thomas, who boasts
that he is progressive and not a
revolutionist, must now defend his
position against this indirect chal-
lenge from Willard. Thomas de-
serted the class struggle and spurned
such ungodly and un-American
words as "proletariat" and "bour-
geoisie," but he built his house on
the quicksands of liberalism and is
now like a voice crying in the will

The strike occurring at Central
Alloy Steel made it all the more
important. Why it might be asked,
did a representative of the govern

and have remained out on strike for
months, without the government in
terfering. The member of the Con-
Citation Board not only went to
Canton, but asked the strike com
mittee to see him-which thew re-
fused to do.
The day that the information an
peared in one of the Canton papers.
1t was apparent why the strike is
significant-and why the Concilia-
ton representative was in Canton.
One has but to quote the article that
appeared alongside the report that
the strike was still on"

The Perfect Sucker.
When we read APs acceptance
speech, our common sense told us
that it was clever demogoguery and
liberal is constantly going around
with his gullet exposed looking for
a political confidence man who will
be good enough to drop some honey
into it. The liberal is the perfect
sucker-when he is honest. When
he is not he is the perfect rogue.
And the perfect liberal sucker is as
rare as gangster who is not good
to his mother.
Willard fairly chortles over the
tongue-t hrashing delivered by Al to
the water-power burglars and the
dishonest and unpatriotic propa-

For some time the local press of
Canton completely suppressed infor-
nation about the Canton strike. Five
hundred clippers and grinders-it
might seem a strike of no signifi-
canoe. A strike of 500 men in an
industry of 0,000-what does it
amount to?
But the strike Of the 500 clippers
and grinders is of great significance,
first of all because these workers are
clippers and grinders and secondly
because they are working for the

Significant Strike.
Before, however, Analysing the i'm
mediate significance of the strike,
let US look into the industry as a
whole. The steel industry is opera
ting, at the present time, at be-
tween 1880 per cent capacity.
There has not been the usual sum-
mer lull, probably due to the fact
that the automobile industry is
working a little more briskly than
usual, and the building industry has
kept up pretty well. Rail orders
have not been plentiful, and al
though for several months, with
intermission, the untitled orders of
U. S. Steel have dropped, still the
production, as whole, has been al
higher level than last year.
Nevertheless, the fact that there
are 100000 unemployed in the
country, that miners have beer

work of laborers in the steel mills

nificant.

Digpified Oswald.
1t was then they learned that the
situation had changed at G. H. O.,
and that Brother Willard had gone
over to the enemy in their absence.
1t is rule of war that swapping
horses while crossing a stream is
dangerous business, but that is not
what actually happened. Willard got
off the anemic socialist jennet and
mounted the laughing jackass, per-
sonified by Al Smith. Again we
wish to point out that all this is
metaphor. The dignified Oswald
would not bestride an electric ele-
plant, not to speak of hirsute

This is the unkindest swat of all.
The political objective of the social
list party election campaign was the
five million votes that were wasted
on LaFollette in 1924. The socialist
party at that time actually claimed
that they were socialist votes. But
it appears that those socialist votes
having once tasted the sweets of
bourgeois booths are reluctant to
return to the socialist confessional.
1t is to cry out loud. AS a political
opportunist Thomas has proven that
he is first class publicity man. He
is too good for this political world.
Hard-boiled Al in one fell speech

When the socialist party decided
that it would become the party of all

what social groove they moved in,
it spelled its own doom. 1t could
not beat the republican party to
Wall Street. And it could not nose
out the democratic party in making
promises, spinning empty phrases
to win the muddle-headed liberal
and labor photographed vote. The
rousing language of Eugene V. Debs,
whose mantle looks out of place on
Thomas shoulders, rallied the rebel
workers to voice a protest against
capitalism in elections, but why
should rebel worker vote for a
socialist program that simply COM
petes with the democratic party for
votes? The answer can be read in
the Nation and will be read in the
tabulated record of the socialist vote
next November.
The Workers Party.
The policy and tactics of the
Workers (Communist) Party, which
have been labeled unpopular" and
"un-American" by the socialists, are
based on the interests of. exploited
masses of this country, TIE workers
in industry and the poor farmers on
the land. The candidates of the
Workers (Communist) Party are
not chasing will-o'- the-wisp liberals
or little business men. If they ac-
cept the program of the class strug-
gle and work for it, they are well
come to join the ranks. But they
must cast off their liberalism.
The Communists are waging a
campaign in this election in order
to rally the workers around their
revolutionary program, to strengthen
the Party in order that it will be in
creasingly able to play its historical
role as the leader of the masses in
the struggle against capitalism, the
everyday struggle for better condi-
tons under the robber system and
the final struggle to get rid of cap
italism and start the task of con-
structing socialist society on the
ruins of the present social order,
Under the auspices of Workers and
Farmers government.
Vote Communist!
In this election conscious
workers will vote for William T.
Foster for president and Benjamin
Gitlow for president and for the
Communist candidates on the state
tickets throughout the country. They
will not vote for good" men, but
for the revolutionary program of
Communism. They have no other
alternative, since the Workers (Com-
munist) Party is the only political
party in the field that bases itself
on the workers and exploited farm
ers. It is the only real party of
labor.
