MACDONALD GOVT RESIGNS; FORMS
COALITION TO CUT RELIEF, WAGES

the crisis Of a war Is openly stated
in the American capitalist press. The
Associated Press in reporting the
formation Of the new government
states:
"The arrangement has its prece-
dent in the coalition government Of
1916, formed to create national
unity in waging the war.
"The new Cabinet also has a war
Of sorts of its hands. Its cam
paign will be to restore Great Brit
aims threatened credit in the world
of international finance"
The war which the new Cabinet
has on its hands is, of course, a war
against the working class.
Declaring that he prefers war to
the present situation in England,
Gen. Jan. c, SHUTS, former Premier
Of South Africa, who arrived in Eng
land on the day the new government
was formed said: Many people
seem oppressed by the thought of war.
but I for one feel more impressed
with the danger Of the great financial
and economic breakdown that may
endanger the whole structure of Eu-
ropean civilization. The time is
rapidly coming when any action, even
If not the wisest, will be better than
continual drifting"
This is a call for an open fascist
government in England to which
Macdonald and the other leaders of
the labor party will respond when
the bankers in England think it nee
essary.
The American capitalist press tries
to make it appear that a cut in the
unemployment insurance rates which
is one of the main objects of the
new government, in order to make
up the 100000 deficit concerns only
the 100000 British unemployed and
their dependents. amounting as a
whole to 100000. The fact is, the
changes in the unemployment insur-
ance act affect the entire British
working class. 1t provides, not only
for a cut, but for an increase in pay
ment by employed workers.
That the results of thus lowering
the standard of living of the British
workers would spread still wider is
admitted by the Daily Herald, the
organ OF the Labor Party which said:
Every shopkeeper would be hit
in the cash in his till, every man
ufacturer supplying a shopkeeper
would write the results in his or
der book. A great, wealthy nation
would have turned to its poorest
TO bear its burden. II would have
adopted policy which Is neither
economic nor business"

however, is that all this is being car
ried out by Ramsay Macdonald and
the other leaders of the Labor Party

cuts and slash in unemployment in
surance for the British workers; Sir
Herbert Samuel, liberal leader, and
one of those active in attacking the
workers in the general strike of 1925,
and Ramsay Macdonald, murderer of
the Indian and Chinese workers, and
now leader in the effort to put over
the plans of the London bankers.
It is expected that the government
will last from five to six weeks, with
in which time it will put through
emergency laws something on the
order of the Bruening DEGREES, and it
may then go out of existence or
take on a more definite fascist char
acter in order to attempt to smash
any mass resistance of the British
workers.
1t is to lessen the resentment of the
workers and to keep their faith in
the Labor Party, that section Of
the Macdonald government refused
to go through openly with the plans
Of the London bankers. Realizing
that the social fascist character Of
the Labor Party leaders has become
more obvious Henderson and the So
called '1efts" of the Labor Party will
go through the motion of some fake
opposition in the action Of the new
government, only the more easily to
keep down the growing mass resist
ance of the workers.
What They viii Do.
The financial situation, as we'll as
the general economic crisis in Eng
land, meanwhile, grows worse APP
proximating the German financial
crisis. Both are closely interlinked.
The British government has a def
icit of over 100000. This is en-
dangering the British currency and
the entire financial position of Brit
ain. To overcome this situation, the
British bankers got a loan of $780,
100000 from France and England.
But this is now used up. Never be-
fore has such thing happened in
England. While loans had been OBJ
tanned they were never used. Now
more loans are needed. In granting
these loans, the French and Amer
lean capitalists have already declared
their intention Of helping the British
national" government, in which the
Socialists" are taking a leading role,
that they fully support the plan of
cutting down or, wiping out unem-
ployment insurance. The American
boss papers enthusiastically applaud
Macdonald in this act.
