The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-03

Is it possible to discern anything
definite emerging on the basis of this
kaleidoscope chaos of deepening antag-
onisms and contradictions? Yes, the
last weeks have clearly disclosed the
emergence of new constellation of In
perialist Powers, in which the United
States is moving toward hegemony of
bloc for the redivision Of the world. In
this constellation more clearly appears
the leading role. of France, Japan, and
the United States, with Germany and
Italy in a subordinate role.
What is the evidence that such a
constellation is being formed?
First of ALL, the rapprochement be-
tween Japan and the United States,
Formerly the Japanese an
tagonism was the decisive factor in the
Pacific But the changing relation of
forces has now suddenly brought forth
re-alignment. Among these changes
We're: the declining power of Britain,
and simultaneously the sharpening of
her commercial competition with Japan;
the rise of the Soviet Districts in
China; and the growing success of the
Five Year Plan in the Soviet Union. AS
a consequence, instead of the expected
serious collision between Japan and the
United States over the Japanese occu-
patton Of Manchuria, we witnessed the
development of the comedy of the
League of Nations at Geneva. The
League Council was pushed forward by
the United States, which followed this
up by sending participant into the
Council, thus entering the League for
the first time. The League ''acts"-
but on the basis of the Briand-Kellogg
Pact, using this Pact at the same time
as weapon against the Soviet Union.
Great Britain takes the lead in putting
pressure on Japan to withdraw from
Manchuria. Suddenly, Japan, erstwhile
ally of Britain, announces that it finds
more sympathy and understanding"
from the United States than from the
League Council. Britain complains that
Stinson has knitted the League in the
back, by giving private assurance to
Japan that the u. S. will not insist upon
a date for withdrawal The Japanese
press, inspired by the Foreign Office,
conducts sharp agitation against Bri-
tain and for the United States. Wash
lngton displays calm complacency in

THE UNITY OF BANDITS

constellation was forming, there was
brought forward in the worlds news
most sharply exactly the antagonisms
between the u. S. and France, and be-
tween the U. S. and Japan This could
be compared to the manner in which
group of pirate chieftains, negotiating
a joint expedition, would press their re-
spective claims to the future division
of the spoils before coming to an agree
ment. Or, to use more polite smile,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-03
WHAT IS BEHIND THE SECRET PACTS?

the comparison might speak Of group
of trusts, about to form a cartel and
fighting over the distribution of the
quotas of the monopoliged market. And
we should never forget that even dur
ing the imperialist World War, within
each camp the old rivalries and antag-
onismS were never even asleep, but this
did net make impossible the alliances
and blocs.
The new consultations are forming
under the pressure of the mightiest
forces CT capitalist crisis. In the words
of the New York Times" in reporting
the conversation between Bruening and
Dino Grandi:
''The whole range of political and
economic world problems are driv-
ing fast toward an ultimate solution
one way or another"
Under this pressure the imperialist
statesmen realize they must think
fast" Today's decision may determine
tomorrow's alignment in war. The align
ment is being determined on the basis
Of the deepest, most far-reaching con-
tradictions. And these are, first, be-
tween the imperialist world and the So
Wet Union, and second, between the
United States and Great Britain.
1t is this that gives certain relative
''fixedness" to the constellation of pow
ers now being formed 1t furnishes the
world framework within which can be
fitted, even if with great difficulties
and pains, the main world contradic-
tions. 1t furnishes the starting point
from which the strongest imperialist
powers and its allies can begin, on the
grand scale, their desperate and adven-
turous efforts to find way out of the
world crisis of capitalism by crushing
the Soviet Union, smashing the colonial
revolutions, organizing the preventive
counter-revolution in Central Europe,
and proceeding to re-divide the world.

country which is promptly paying ell its
bills.
Furthermore, due to the unevenness
of development as between the imperial
list powers, and the consequent lack of
correlation of the power and posses
sions of each--which ever more press
ingly calls for a re-divis;on of the world
among them more in accord with the
actual relations of power-there must
be an imperialist victim of the new con-
stellation. What better occupant for
this role could be found than Great Bri-
tain, with it's enormously swollen col
onial Empire and Its shrinking basis of
power and mountainous accumulation
of difficulties?

These crystalizing powers under
standing" agreements "blocs," or
consultations" of the imperialist pow
ers, this re-grouping in preparation for
the redivision of the world, does not sig
Nifty in the slightest the abatement of
the antagonisms between those powers
which are coming together. Quite the
contrary. 1t is the unity" of band

IN A RACE WITH THE
WORLD REVOLUTION

History is being speeded up! The inn
perialists move feverishly, because they
feel the ground burning beneath their
feet, they know they are in a race with
the forces of revolution all over the
world. AS background and basis for all
the whirlwind of surface events, is the
rising upsure of revolutionary struggle
of the masses in the fight for life, and
the mighty, dizzying tempo of the Five
Year Plan of socialist industrialization
and collectivization of the economy of
the S. ct Union which has sounded the
death-sentence upon world capitalism.
In China the Red Army of workers
and peasants has successfully defended
the Soviet Districts against the 100000
strong mercenary armies Of Chang Kai-
shek, with all his American money, mu-
nitions and arms. The Soviet govern
ment, led by the Chinese Communist
Party, is embracing the widest masses
in all China
In Germany, the hold of the social
democracy upon the masses is being
broken, which means the shattering of
the last solid bulwark of capitalism in
that country.
In England, the sailors of the British
fleet, the instrument by which for
century Britannia has ruled the waves,
go on strike against the wage-cuts i'm
posed by ''labor' government. At the
same time, for the first time since
Chartist days, masses of workers in tens
and hundreds of thousands demonstrate
on the streets of the industrial cities
of England, in violent collisions with the
police, protesting the cuts in wages and
"dole."
In Latin America, presidents and gov
ernments topple every few weeks, and
the fleet of Chile, one of the few "Pa-
cific' powers, is destroyed by mutiny,
suppressed only in blood and terror.
And "even" in the United States, the
fortress of world capitalism, more than
II million workers, with their families
totalling more than 40 million persons,
are without the slightest means of liv-
lihood except the miserable crumbs of
charity which in most instances are
worse than starvation and death. Even
in the United States, we are already be-
ginning to witness street demonstra-
tions of a hundred thousand workers
marching together, uniting Negro and
white, native and foreign-born, men and
women, in the unbreakable solidarity of
passionate protest against the brutal
murderous oppression Of the capitalist
police, and the starvation, misery and
death which is dealt out by capitalist
civilization" which is now in it's death
throes.
Over all is shining the star of the
Soviet Union, leader and inspiration of
the oppressed of the whole world Gel
ebrating now it's Fourteenth Anniver-
sary since, on Nov. Z, 1917, it was es-
tablished on the ruits of Czarism and
the World War, by the power of the
Russian working class led by the Com
munist Party, the Bolshevik Party of
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, continuing the
policy Of Lenin under the unhesitating,

CAREER Of F|FTY-F|vE YEARS 0N THE BR|NEY
 ENDs WITH A TORCH

Fifty-five vars ago last sum- mer a trim -masted full rigged sailing vessel swept down the ways from the shipyards at Darmariscota. Me, to take her place as a proud unit of the American merchant marine, says the Seattle Times. A throng of searfaring folk, including capt's., and bucko mates iron men who sailed i'll wooden ships in those days -cheered as the beautiful vessel took the water She was one of the Is down casters built in 1875 on the North Atlantic. On her bows and stern was the word ElWell
 Within the next few days 9 humble old barge with stumpy masts will be put ashore at Rich mond Beach and burned for the metals in her hull. Ship breakers who apply the torch, if they look closely. will see cut into her tim bers fore and aft, the letters E-L-W-E-L-L. The vessel to be consigned to the funeral pyre is the ship launched at Damaris- cotta amid the cheers of throng of Down East seafaring folk. Flames will write the last chapter of her colorful career.
 The old Elwell was sold by the New England Fish Company to Neider & Marcus, Inc, of Seattle, who will burn her for her cop per and other metals in her hull Oil soaked waste will be put in her holds and the torch applied.
 In the heydey of her career, the ElWel was the fastest sail ing vessel on the Pacific. She won distinction in 1896 by break ing the sailing record for the voy- age between San Francisco and Nanailno, B. c. She left San Fran cisco April 2 and arrived at Nan aimo April 29. left Nanaimo May and arrived in San Francisco May '. This time has never been equaled by a sailing vessel be- tween these two ports. For the feat accomplished Capt. J. E. Bar ston, master of the Elwell, was rel warded by a gift of $500 in gold and a suit of clothes.
 The Elwell was one of the down casters that followed the famous Yankee clipper, the iron heeler from the Clyde, the green India man and the high-pooped Span ish galleon.
 Like other sailing ships crowded off the sea lanes by the steam vessels the ElwelI found her way into the Alaska fishing hade She was purchased at United States marshars sale by the firm of George T.
