The King Calls for Macdonald

GEORGE w. by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British DOM
nons beyond the Seas King Defender of the Faith Emperor
of India has called Ramsay Macdonald the most able
exponent of the reaherous anabor leadership of the bor
geois Labor Party, to form government.
The fact that the ttuar head of the British empire
speaking for the outstanding old world Imperialism calls
Macdonald to form should be significant in the
eyes of international labor
This the same King George " who called on" Lloyd
George and Baldwin to the world imperast war; to

the purpose of destroying and restoring czarsm that

himself the best instrument in the hands of the British
mperasts to crush working class resistance at home for

semcoonal countries for developing militant aggressons

Empires treasury into the Golfers of every counterrevo

action of Premier Baldwin in resgnng and turning his

The army and navy will not be modified against the
Macdonald government precisely because it will be,
1924, bourgeois government.
The conservatives and liberals will give Macdonald every
possible assistance against the left wing in the Labor Party

The expulsion campaign that has been carried out in the
Labor Party and the trade unions against the Communists
resulting in local labor parties distributing from the
national party part of the rapid drift of the Labor Party
to the right to make acceptable to British reaction that
Macdonald might be 'called" by the King.
The duties that will fall to the Macdonald government,
from day to day, will repeatedly reveal its antabor char
acter One of its first dirty jobs will be to prepare the
called Kings Speech for the parliament Macdonald
will write and defend it, just his whole administration
of power will be for the benefit of reaction against labor

Blanesburgh report and intervention
in China. 1t participated in the
Simon Commission, and approves of
the repressive measures taken
against India. 1t supports the no.
torious industrial peace" campaign,
aimed at preventing strikes, at a
time when the capitalists are cut
ting the workers standard of living
on every side.
On all essential issues, where the
safety of capitalist rule in Great
Britain is menaced, the labor party
sides with the tories and liberals
against the workers.
Exposes Illusions.
The tory, liberal and labor parties
are using the general election to
strengthen the workers illusions
about parliament as a means of
achieving emancipation. The Com
munist Party takes part in the gen.
eral election to combat these illu-
sions, and to show the workers that
only resolute struggle to smash
the power of the capitalists can
bring about emancipation.
The three capitalist parties pro-
claim that they stand for the en-
pire, and are jointly preparing
worldwide wars against the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics and
against the British empires rival,
the United States.
The Communist Party calls the
workers to action to smash the
world prison house of nations known
as the British empire, reminding
them of Marks famous message
that "a nation which Expresses 9TH
crs can never be free ITSELF"
Fights Imperialist War.
The Communist Party fights the
preparations for new imperialist
wars by unmasking the war plans,
by fighting the agents of capital
ism in the workers midst, and by
modifying the workers in day to day
struggles against the capitalists and
their agents, so that when a new
innperialist war breaks out the
workers will be prepared to defeat
the war-makers' government and
establish Revolutionary Workers
government.
A Revolutionary Workers govern
ment in Britain would nationalize
the land, mines, railways, large fac
tories, shipyards, banks, foreign
trade, ETC., without compensation,
except for small investors, trade
unions and co-operatives. 1t would

Central Economic Council.
1t would establish a Central Econ
omic Council, under complete con-
troll of the workers, with full au-
thority to coordinate all branches
Of national economic life and to elm

talism. 1t would make preparations
for introducing the 6-hour day, for
which British industry is fully ripe,
while insuring the 7-hour day and
the 40-hour week as transitional
measures.
1t would commit all local author
ity into the hands of local Councils
Of Workers Delegates, elected in
the factories and trade unions, and
would organize its own revolution
airy armed forces to which only
workers would be admitted.
1t would Immediately grant COM
plete independence, including the
right of separation, to the colonies,
and would give them political and
economic assistance.
1t would establish Britain as a
Workers Socialist Republic, feder-
ated with the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics.
Mass Communist Party.
The Communist Party, in pursu-
ance of its independent policy, is
putting up its candidates in a num-
Der of constituencies against those
of all three capitalist parties. In
other constituencies where no Com
rnunist candidate is in the field, and
where the labor candidate refuses to
pledge himself to a program of
fighting working class demands, the
Communist Party advises the work
ers not to vote for any capitalist
candidates, tory, liberal or labor.

foreign exploiters and the power of
the feudal landlords. In Egypt,
British warships and troops have
been used to destroy parliamentary
government.
The Labor Party.
The labor party pretends to be
the opponent of the tory party. 1t
promises you paradise of class col
liberation. But in every one of the
attacks on the workers and colonial
peoples, the labor party has actively
co-Operated with the tories and lib
erals. This was the policy pursued
during the war, when it entered the
capitalist coalition in order to pre-
vent the working class ending the
war by rising in revolt.
Before the General Strike the la
Dor party opposed any preparations
by the workers, in spite of the open
organization of the o. M. S., Special
Constabulary, etc.
The General Strike of 1926, in de-
tense of living conditions for the
miners and the cause of class soli-
darity, was the biggest event in
British working class history. II
raised the question of who should
rule in Great Britain-the capitalist
class or the working class. The cap
italists were led by the tory govern
ment, which was determined to de-
feat the workers. The workers en-
trusted their cause to the General
Council, which co-operated with the
labor party in carrying out Bald
wins program by betraying the
General Strike and the stupendous
seven months struggle of the min
ers.
Rebuilding Capitalism.
The capitalists victory in the
General Strike was followed by a
tremendous drive for ratlonallza-
ton. Capitalist naturalization in
Britain is intended to stabilize and
rebuild declining British capitalism
at the expense of the workers. And
the tory, liberal and labor parties
have all pledged themselves to carry
out this policy under centralized
government control.
The labor party's program of re-
building capitalism is the natural
consequence of its policy of coop
Grafton with the tories during the
last five years.

NEW LOCOMOTIVE HAS THREE POWER SOURCES

CHICAGO, Sept 27.-Terminal railroading and switching may be revolutionized by new type 90- ton locomotive being tested here by the Illinois Central Railroad.
 The new locomotive, smokeless and noiseless, can be operated from any one of three sources of pow er-overhead wires, gas engines and storage batteries.
 Operating under trolley wires the locomotive can haul from 40 to 50 cars. tests have shown Using power generated by it's own stor- age batteries it can be used for switching cars on tracks that do not carry electric current.
 The locomotive is mounted on two trucks, each provided with two electric motors. Two engines use gasoline at the start, but when warmed up burn oil similar to that used in heating residences. The engines can be used for traction purposes or to charge the batteries. The batteries also can be charged from a generator which operates when the locomotive works under a trolley.
 Changing from one source of power to another is merely a mat ter of pushing button.

Begin Long Process
 To Canonize Plus X

VENICE, Sept. 27.--Every week the ecclesiastical tribunal of the patriarchate of Venice is sitting to hear testimony on the sanctity of Pope Plus X who before his elevation to the triple crown was himself patriarch of the Lagoon City.
 So voluminous have been the deo- ositions. and so many the wit nesses. that the work of compiling all the matter, adducing the stintly character of the former pontiff, can hardly be finished before De- cember.
 At that period the testimony, all duly transcribed as stipulated in the Canon law, will be forwarded to Vatican City, constituting the first step in the long process of having Plus X proclaimed a saint. If the Vatican authorities approve, the cause" as it is called, will go before the Sacred Congregation of Rites. If this body approves, the late Pontiff will be proclaimed venerable" and later "beatified," with imposing ceremonies in St. Peters
 Still later will come the canoni- zation proper, attended by even more imposing rites, whereafter "St. Plus x" will be recommended to the veneration of the entire Ro- man Catholic body.

MADISON HOUSE TO BE RESTORED

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 27.- The Octagon, historic building in which President Madison once liv- ed is to be restored and developed as a national center of architec- ture and allied arts.
 The work, costing $6O0,000, will be done by the American Institute of Architects, according to D. Ev- erett Waid of New York Chair man of the building committee of the institution.
 The Octagon was built in 1900 as colonial residence by Col. John Tayloe, friend of George Wash ington It will be restored, as far as possible, to it's original condi- tion. It was an octagonal brick building, Georgian Colonial in de- sign, with a central circular hall and grand staircase. After the White House was burned by the British in 1914 it was used by President Madison as the Execu- tive Mansion.
 Since then it has been used at various times as a Government hy- drographic office, for private studios and drafting rooms and as store house Outlining the work already done toward restoring it, MT. Waid said
 The drawing room has been fur nished as architects of today be- lieve it might have been furnished in 1900. The big kitchen also has been restored. The fire place and the bake-oven needed only slight

 repair. The old brick floor required the setting of only a few bricks.
 We have discovered that fur nishings and china belonging to the original mansion still are in existence. These the institute hopes to acquire, and to supplement with real utensils of the period.
 The Octagon, when its rooms are completely refurnished, will be an authoritative example of the home of the period of 1900. One of the treasures which has been preserved is the table on which the Treaty of Ghent was signed by President Madison

'Irish LandIord'' Role Appeals to Al SmitE,
By DONALD c. BOLLES GA. P. Feature Serice Writcr)

|, NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The man who came up from the tenements \ Of Americas metropolis to be gov crnor of New York and knock at the door of the White House is to be a ruler again.
 | An Irish landlord' is what Al fred E. Smith calls his new role as the virtual head of a city of 60000 persons that now is in the making but a ruler nevertheless. It will be a unique community city within city housed in a veritable citadel of brick and steel from whose topmost peaks he may look down upon the city of his birth.
 It will be a compact community whose height will exceed it's girth. covering only two of the most cost ly acres of Manhattan but threat ening the clouds with it's 80 stor- ies.
 A S6O,O0o0OO home of his new constituency is planned by the for mer governor as president of the Empire State Office Building cor poration, which will erect the larg- est office building in the world. It will rise within IS months upon the site of the world famous Waldorf Astoria hotel on Fifth avenue.
 From one who sought escape from the maelstrom of public life after a long and distinguished career, the Democratic presidential candidate appears to have tackled the kind of task in which he will find many problems with familiar tinge.
 As governor the welfare of his constituency was uppermost in his mind. As an Irish landlord the success of the gigantic business un- dertaking will depend much upon the same considerate attention to the welfare of his people. Water and electric power, finances and taxes are problems from which he finds no escape in his new role.
 Announcement of his new busi- ness plans signified that the time fer play was over. At 56 he has relied up his sleeves and entered upon phase of activity in the business world.
 Since his unsuccessful bid for the presidency, MT Smith has been leading a quiet life with his fam fly in comfortable suite in the Biltmore in New York after brief soiourns in famous vacation spots in the south and east. He has devoted his time to rest and writ ing, working on his autobiography up to Now"
