Imperialist Antagonists in the
Mediterranean
By FRED ELLIS

against England; the latter, by possessing the
most important strategcal points in the Medi-
terranean Gibraltar, Suez, Malta, Cyprus),
and its Mediterranean fleet maintains "par-
ity" in relation to Italy and France combined
"a sort of ''baance' in the Mediterranean.
But Italy is endeavorng to maneuver England
out of this role. Italian imperialist policy
regards itself potentially not only a
cessor to France but also as the heir of Great
Britain in the Mediterranean. Hence, the
sharp Criticism of the Anglo Egyptian Treaty,
hence also the protest against the contem-
plated agreement between Great Britain and
the Iraq, as these two treaties endanger the
Italian "open door, to the Near East.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
1t is therefore quite understandable that the
representative of British imperialism, Ramsay
Macdonald, was not the most suitable person
to act mediator in the Itao-French antag-
onisms in the Mediterranean question, especial
ly as he was not prepared to make any mag
unanimous sacrifice, were it only symbocal
disarmament gesture in this sphere where the
danger of war always turks. The British re-
organization plans in the Eastern Mediterran-
can area are much more calculated aiming as
they do at stabizing British rule, to render
the Italians mistrustful of any mediation and
induce them to increase their ornaments.
Grandi and NJ BRAND are seized upon by the
imperalst press as the only glimmer of hope
left of settling the Mediterranean questions.
These direct negotiations are to have pc
culiar prelude: the whole of the French fleet
is to be concentrated in the Mediterranean;
the centenary of the French colonial rule in
Algeria is to be the occasion of an imposing
naval parade under the very nose of the Ital-
ians in order to show with all emphasis that
France is prepared to defend every inch of
ground of her Mediterranean colonies with
all the forces, both naval and military, at her
command
The Italian answer will not be long in forth
coming. The pacifist talk of peaceful set
Element of antagonisms is being clearly re-
futed by the naval maneuvers, like those which
took place Immediately before the world war,
and indicate with the accuracy of barometer
the approach of serious conflicts. The redis-
tribution of colonial booty in the Mediterran-
can is becoming an urgent necessity for the
imperialists, and they are now preparing for
the eventuality of dispute over it. This dis
pute will not assume the form of negotiations
at a round table but the form of open warfare

OVER 600 workers children took part in the
parade and march to Union Square. Fiji
teen picket lines were held in front of many of
the schools in New York City, Fifty children
were arrested because of militant school DEM
onstrations, chalking up the streets, painting
the school building with "Out of the School On
MAY First" More than 40 parents were ar
rested at the schools because of their active
participation and resistance to the attack OF
the Pioneers while picketing on May First.
However, the Young Pioneers can record
many weaknesses in the May First campaign.
The chief weakness is the fact that not more
than 25 children were modified in any one
school to take part i'll the parade on May first.
From this we can clearly see that our Pioneer
movement is bascally isolated from the work
ers' children, and while May First marked
decisive step forward yet this is not sufficient.
The second weakness is the lack of strong
parents movement to defend the workers chill
dren, resist the arrests and attacks of the
truant officers, and to carry on the struggle
of the workers. children daily in the schools.
In so far as the mobilization of Party men,
bers, behind the Young Pioneers, we note
definite sign of progress over last year. How
ever, there were number of Party comrades

The task of the Party is to take up these
cases at once and for all act decsively Such
elements are unhealthy for Bolshevik Party.

due to the campaign of the Pioneers prior to
