Macdonald Aids Imperialist Drive Against
Soviet Union


mperas chorus in its provocations against the Soviet
Union by repeating in the most vicious form the charge of
Soviet aggression against anchura in the Chinese Eastern
Railway affair This phistine semonizes follows
eve can but trust that even recognize her
actions and that Russia will remember that umatums
dangerous things To this add the hope that the League of
Nations itself will bring bear China of its
bers with view to securing an amcabe settlement
This paragraph sheds revealing light MacDonalds
policies in relation to the bloody of assassns fogers
and mperast provocaeurs at the head OF the governments
of China and Manchura and also the relation of the soaed
British labor government toward the workers and peas
ants government of the Soviet Union.
MacDonalds predecessor, Stanley Baldwin, could have
consistently repeated the words and they have
been perfectly compatible with mperialst policy ex
pounded by the tories The organ of the of
Ramsay Macdonald distinguishes between the Chinese and
anchuran of mperiait ackeys and the gov
of the Soviet Union only in order raduce the
latter.
Certainly Baldwin could and would have expressed the
hope that the dispute be referred the Brtshdomnaed
League of Nations so that the periast agents of England
could endeavor by dupcty and intrigue to utilize the dis
cusons to attempt to create formidable alignment
of powers against the Soviet Union.
If the Macdonald government represented the working
class instead of the mperialists of Britain its policy would
be entirely different that represented the
workers would initiate series of actions, that in their
otaiy would unmask before the of the whole world
the real role of imperialism China and the plot Matched
against the Soviet Union and mobilize them struggle
against Imperialism First of ALL in order the
deepest hatred of the workers against mperas policy
would raid the secret archives of the British
and publish the treaties between Britain and
Japan expose the network of spies and forgers their
provocaons against the of workers and peas
ants Such government would place its armed forces at
the disposal of the Red Army and the Red Fleet that de-
tends the revolution against the mperast bandits would
issue pocamaons to the workers of the world to defend
the workers state from imperast attacks In short it
would carry revolutionary struggle against all the gov
ernmen involved in the conspiracy But of such
would not be brought to power by parliament
ary collaboration with liberals tories and other defenders
the king but would advance to power revo-
utionary struggle eliminating in the establishment of
Soviet republic.
It has long been recognized the deliberate policy of
the United States Great Britain and Japan try to
the Chinese Eastern Railway from the joint control of the
Sovets and the Chinese and place it osensby in the hands
of the Chinese alone That of to place the
railroad running through the vastly rich territory of North
anchura the hands of the imperaist powers
it would then become of the objecves the struggle
booty that going between the mperiais them
selves this case in all other similar attack
against the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics imper-
a powers unite for joint conquest against the workers
and peasants government.
This vicious of recent attacks is part of the
general mperast conspiracy to form iron ring extend
ing from Finland and the Baltic states through the fascist
border states of Poland and Roumana with Hungary Yugo
Sava CzechoSovaka Bulgaria and Greece bringing up the
rear to India Inner Mongolia, Manchura China Korea
Japan No other Interpretation be placed upon this latest
attack in view of the fact that the Soviet Union did
insist upon and does not demand partial control
the railway Time and again the Soviet government
has offered to negotiate settlement of the question terms
of friendship but proposal has been thus far met with
insults and abuse and open provocation and violence.
But in spite of the neffable nfamy of the Macdonald
and the other heroes of the Second nterna
ona who aiding and abettng their mperiaist masters
in their attacks the Soviet Union the working of
the world inside and outside the Soviet Union will defeat
the imperiaist hordes and their Russian whteguardist
emgr those epraved survivors Of the mercenary
of Kohak and Semenov The oubursts of fury from
all sections of the Soviet Union conclusive evidence
the workers and peasants the and youth fact the
whole population of the Soviet republic will arise
to r back invading force that dares set foot Soviet
SELL The strikes in China and Manchuria that
beginning prove that the class conscious mob
liking to smash government that dares lend itself to
playing the role of mperiaist assassin of the revolution
And in the imperast countries themselves the will
rise in such numbers in defense of the Soviet Union that
there will be question that the launching of another
sriaist will inevitably initiate the next stage of the
world revolution.
The events on the Manchuran border again emphasize
the necessity of the of the whole world demonstrate
ing in mighty numbers August st the day set aside by
the Communist International International Red Day
Against mperast War; Here in the United States there
must be strikes and demonstrations against the role of the
mperaist government of this country which strives place
itself at the head of the forces of reaction throughout the
