Ramsay MacDonald's Poison Gas

Mr. Ramsay Macdonald being featured the

The British capitalist class which recently prayed
the recovery of their weawitted king surely afford to
twice hard their imperasc Jehovah preserve
the health and ungpower of this socialist leader in the
empire and world-chief of the Yellow International
For there is in the whole British empire no other fnney
who do much this Macdonald to blind the workers
and parayze their brains to lead them into the
next imperiaist world as helpless cannon-fodder
Dripping at the nose with religious bunk Macdonald in
article the New magazine the Nation tries with
quite unusual cunning to fix in the minds of the working
class the illusion that the capitalist system does not
say lead that the working class should do nothing
whatever fight the danger but should leave the whole
matter to the imperias governments which should
g.. appoint five of their outstanding
sentative the whole nation drag from the obscure
suspicion
MacDonalds article is from beginning to end attack
against the materast Interpretation of history it eers at
the idea that capitalist competition results in Against
this superstition and misleading of history, Ito the effect
that capitalism leads wary every backboned sentiment of
morality and must be up in arms Mac
Donald and war inevitable than small pox To
bring peace into world dominated by capitalism is
divine task of this generation Not the fainest sug
gestion of opposition to capitalism does he express
But the old socialist faker is attempting something
than general propaganda An undercurrent of his
thought is that the and only working class state the
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics (Which he does not name)
is at least much mperast the capitalist

MacDonadshows his colors in the form of propaganda
against the Wall Street proposed
od the KngD but that the British capitalist nation
has the other hand only the angelic motives shown by
what he calls its declining countenance the AngoFrench
agreement
He does mot want to involve the imperialist United
States in European entangemens saying W ought praise
its creator night and day that that necessity not imposed
upon it, alas upon U.S." What does he by
excusing the European entangemens of the British gov
ernment which he says "alas" Imposed upon" the
British? He only the intrigue by which the British
is leading toward the crush the Union of
Socialist Soviet Republics
Mr.. Macdonald is doing his bit of prostitution for
British capitalism
But what of the power which, from patriotic motives,
he arguing agains-the United States of Wall Street?
