'STRESEEANN IN

PLAN, HITS U. S.
Warns That u. S. May
Make Colony of
Europe
Plan to Cut w a ges
Will Shift Debt Burden
on German Toilers

BERLIN, June "a. - Gustave
Stresemann, foreign minister of
Germany, hinted to the Reichstag
today in addressing it upon the pro-
jected reparations conference that
Europe is in danger of becoming a
United States colony.
"We are not in danger of becom-
ing a colony of Great Britain OF
France, but it seems possible to me
that all Europe is in danger of be-
coming colony of a country which
was luckier than we were. The
fact is that these colonies got to-
gether to alleviate one another from
the burdens from which the other
side did not relieve them and which
cannot be spirited away.
That the German capitalists will
use the Young plan to excuse the
inauguration of nationwide drive
against the working class in the
shape of wage-cuts, naturalization,
ETC., is seen behind the clouds of
pessimism now being disseminated
by them. The Federation of Ger
man Industries, together with the
commercial banks, affirm that the
annuities demanded by the plan
''are above the payment capacity of
Germany's economy" meaning that
the workers and peasants will have
to make up the difference.
Stresemann in his speech today
advised the acceptance of the Young
plan, tried to show that it's burdens
were lighter than those of the
Dawes plan, and stated that Ger
many would not consent to the es-
tablishment of a Rhineland commits
sion by the allies as the price of
evacuation of Allied troops.
He denounced the Ruhr strikes,
calling them mistake"

tESHE fifteenth anniversary of the
l opening of the last imperialist
war occurs at time when the ques-
tion of the inevitability of another
world war is the central problem of
the day. Far from overcoming the
danger of war, the intrigue Of
statesmen and bankers around con-
ference tables only indicates the
sharpening of all the antagonisma
leading to another world war.
Emperialists Plan War.
Even while proclaiming their de-
sire to liquidate the international
difficulties arising out OF the last
war, the imperialist agents are lay
ing the basis for the next war. The
recently concluded Young pact is a
classic example of this. Concessions
were made to the German bour-
geoisie only in order to swing Ger
many farther toward a Western
orientation,' to align the bourgeoisie
Of Germany and their social-demo-
cratic henchmen against the Union
Of Socialist Soviet Republics. The
pressure on reparatiohs payments is
softened only in order to pave the
way for more private loans from
the Wall Street b,snkers, thereby

placing a greater burden upon the
masses of Germany. The Young pact
also is designed to swing Germany
into the orbit of Yankee imperial
ism in its worldwide struggle
against its formidable rival, Great
Britain.
The Young pact is the latest of a
series of events since the Sixth
World Congress of the Communist
International that confirms the
judgment of that Congress that the
central task facing the Communist
Parties of the world is the struggle
against the war danger.
The antagonisms between the
great powers, particularly the an
tagonisms between the two imperial
ist giants, the United States of
America and Great Britain, have
been tremendously accentuated. But
in spite, of all these antagonisms, in
spite of worldwide struggle for
markets, for colonies, there is one
conspiracy in which all the powers
unite-that is the relentless drive
against the Soviet Union, which is
carrying through the construction

Nothing, it seems, will satisfy
the Gastonia Gazette short of the
enactment of statutes similar to
those of the Elizabethan period in
England against "sturdy rogues,"
when it comes to dealing with black
listed strikers-members of the Ma
tional Textile Union-and their
families.
In England when the developing
spinning and weaving industry was
sweeping the rural population into
the towns and factories, when the
commons were enclosed and the
countryside turiod into sheep pas

strikers and strike leaders in Gas
tonia, N. c.
This meeting is expected to DEM
onstrate on large scale the de-
termination of all workers to rally
behind the International Labor De-
fense and to save the lives of the
Gastonia strikers.
New York workers realize very
well from their experience with the
police frame-up system in any num-
ber of strikes here, needle trades,
cafeteria, shoe and iron, that the
employers with their control of
courts and officers of the law will
always endeavor to use these means
to crush the workers movement for
better wages and conditions, or for
the right to organize. They have
seen the bosses utilize vicious lying
testimony and every art of rail-
reading to prison or to death.
Fight To Save 10 Lives.
The workers in New York remem-
Der how they fought for Sacco and
Vanzetti, two workers slaughtered
by process of law in Massachusetts,.
The New York workers, seeing that
the frame-up system is a universal
tactic of the employers, are deter
mined to show all employers it is
very well known to them that any
scheme to murder their fellow work
ers in Carolina is the concern of
workers everywhere, and particu-
larly in New York.
New York workers are intent on
making this demonstration tonight
an example for all those in other
cities.
Prominent leaders of the working
class, as well as several Gastonia
strikers, will tell of this vicious
frame-up and will call the workers
of New York to join with their
fellow workers thruout the country,
under the leadership of the Inter

this murder plot of the mill barons'
courts. Among the speakers will be
