SPARK
from the
N E w S

Party IN England. LlD-ldp Is Au
longer an empty, abstract slogan.
Snowden has left even the Independ-
emit Labor Party in an effort to hasten
the fusion of the Liberal Party with
the Labor Party-really in an effort
to hasten the complete fusion of the
workers.
It is on this basis that we feel that
Mr.. Lloyd George, whom Snowden
may call Comrade Lloyd George, is
today more than ever an expert on
misleading the workers. Mr.. Lloyd
George is also therefore to be con-
sidered as an-expert on fascism. In
special cable to the New York Sun
day American of January 22nd, Mr..
Lloyd George let's the following signl-
ficant remark drop: "a leading ltal-
ian informed me the other day that
Mussolini would probably continue to
rule over Italy as long as the finan-
cial stability Of the country was Sc
cure. He attributed its present secur-
ity to the enormous sums OF money
advanced by America to Italy in the
course of the last few years and ne
predicted that when these loans
ceased to flow into Italian enterprises,
there would be lapse of fascism."
Than this no greater truth has ever
been uttered by Lloyd George. This
is the role Of American Imperialism
today. Keep fascism alive; smash re-
volution everywhere; destroy the for
ces struggling for the freedom Of the
colonial peoples; wipe out the labor
unions-that's the glory Of American
Imperialism! That's the shame, how
ever, of the American working class.
It's time we wiped this blot off the
map of the United States.
At last the President Of the Ameri-
IA can Federation Of Labor is really
excited. At last he is answering an
attack Of the employers with some
punch, sincerity, energy and vigor.
| But don't let's get too sanguine In
our optimism. What charges Of the
employers against labor does Mr..
Green deny? AS usual, none other
than that the workers are planning to
fight. Mr.. Green, who is a close as
sociate and loyal servant of the big
gest dividend coupon-clippers In the
country, has just gone into TRADE

labor has no thought of strike and
no intent of precipitating strike on
the NV York Subway lines. We are
opposed to any strike on the Inter
borough Rapid Transit" No wonder
the corrupt Tammany Senator Wag-
ner is talking of the relations between
the A. F. Of L. and the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company of New York,
as establishing new frontier in the
cause of organized labor"
We have more faith in the work
ers, organized and unorganized, than
to think that they will for long con-
tinue to accept this frontier. APP
parently there is no limit to the
treachery of the Greens, the Wolls,
and to the dirty work of their 'sgood
men" in politics like Senator Wagner.
GREAT BRITAIN is surely working
overtime to hit back at the United
Statess., Secretary of State Kellogg's
attempt to draw France away from
England is not meeting with success,
despite certain concessions which
have been made by the American
government. The British imperialist
agents are on the job and they are
part masters of the chess-board of
imperialist diplomacy.
We are told that the next oil war
clash will be in China. The oil war
is fight to the finish. The battle
between Standard Oil of New York
and the Royal Dutch Shell interests
is today symbolic of the increasing
antagonism between America and
England.
The Havana Conference is as much
move of Wall Street against Europe
as against Latin America. A firmes
grip on the resources of Latin Ameri-
ca by Uncle Shylock means bigger
supply of oil for the American capt.
talists.
The insistence Of M. BRAND that
France cannot join America in any
anti-war treaty conflicting with her
previous commitments, shows clearly
the hand and interests of British inn
perialism. British imperialst in
spiration is likewise responsible for
the outbreak of the influential italian
paper, II Tevere, when, in character
izing the Havana Conference, it said:
"The spread Of the power of the Uni
ted States throughout the whole
American continent constitutes a NOR
tai danger for Europe. /. ". (. Ameri-
canization of the world would be an
accomplished fact if the little Latin
