Shanghai, Jan 22~~GTP) Jap nnaae must F,ny out of the Inter" national excitement To avoid fufth- cr disturbances here. American Consul General Edwin Cunning ham warned today.
 After T conference of foreign consular officials and hcttlrmtht authorities, Cunningham Haid;
 "rhc JnpnncEc must stay out of the settlement. If they Stay out, there won't be any trouble"
 The conference WAS called to consider the tcnRn situation caused by the receipt of Tokio dispatches saying that 22 additional Jnphnetc wnrnhlpg wore being loaded al Bnacbo naval bhHc for emergency orders, presumably To proceed lo Shanghai.
 Other reports from TOklo Haih that the Japanesc were prepared to eehd troops to rennf6fcc lhndihH patrlca if necessary.

SHOULD WE PARTICIPATE IN BOURGEOIS
PARLIAMENTS?

and training the class, and, subsequently, the
masses. BY neglecting this by falling to pro-
coed with the utmost care, attention and prud-
ence to investigate their self-evident mistake
the Left" in Germany (and some in Holland)
proved themselves thereby to be not a class
party, but a circle, not a party Of the masses,
but a group Of intellectuals copying the worst
aspects Of the mathematician of handful of
workngnen.
Secondly, in the same pamphlet of the Frank
furt group of the Left" from which we have
already cited in detail. we read: Millions of
workmen, still following the policy Of the CEN
ter" Cthe Catholic Center" party) "are coun-
ter-revolutonary. The village proletarians prod
uce legions of counter revolutionary troops"
Everything shows that this is said in much
too off-hand and exaggerated manner. But
the fact here stated is fundamentally correct,
and its acknowledgment by the Left" goes to
prove their mistake with particular clearness.
How is it possible to say that "parliamentarism
is politically WORKOUT" when millions" and
"lsgions' of proletarians not only stand up for
parliamentarism generally, but are directly
counter-revolutionary? 1t is clear, then, that
parIamentarism in Germany is not WORKOUT

HOW THEY FIGHT FOR HAITIAN
SOVEREIGNTY

established? At present, American Imperialism
rules the Caribbean countries through puppet
governments, fascist governments which try to
crush the anti-imperialst movements. The
friendship these weak, pussyfootng elements
propose would come from some gestures by
American imperialism which would not impair
its control over its colonies and semi-colonies as
withdrawal of marines when it has set up an
efficient native force to enable the native bour-
geoisie to do its bidding, and withdrawal of
financial adviser when interest on debts is paid
Furthermore they argue, that THE Haitian
Republic has repeatedly given assurance to the
American government that in the event of war
no foreign power would be permitted to establish
air naval bases of coaling stations in Haiti"
Haiti will voluntarily stay within the American
Empire. 1t is perfectly safe Therefore the
United States should withdraw the marines. To
be sure when the Anti-Imperialist League de-
mands the withdrawal of the marines fight
ing demand, in support of the growing anti
imperialist movements in those countries, this is
too revolutionary.
A third step the American Civil Liberties Union
and the others propose is new treaty, instead
of the existing treaty forced upon the Haitians
new treaty under which full sovereignty will
be restored to Haiti prior to the expiration of
the present treaty in 1896" Gull Sovereingn1ty!"
We have already seen how full this sovereignty
is to be. And before 1885, Not now; not i'm
mediately, but a few years from now. Such a
treaty to be negotiated with the Haitian Con-
gress. Like the treaty with Cuba, evidently,
with the Plat Amendment included. A treaty
that will leave Haiti under the control of Amer
lean imperialism The Hare Bill passed by the
House of Representatives and the Hawes- Cutting
Bill pending in the Senate both prove that under
the guise of granting independence American
imperialism will keep the Philippine Islands un-
der its thumb, the masses of workers and peas
ants will continue to be exploited by American
Imperialism and the native bourgeoisie, both in
the Philippine Islands and in Haiti This kind of
treaty will satisfy the Haitians say the Leid-
lers and Company. 1t may satisfy the Haiti
bourgeoisie, but it will not satisfy the horribly
exploited Haitian masses.
The United States government has friendly
motives" according to this so-called anti-im-
peralist memorandum. They want this treaty,

Bill To Further Enslave South
African Natives

CAPETOWN, South Africa new law has
recently been enacted by the South African Par
lament known as the Service Contract Bill.
The aim of this Bill is to drive off the land
those squatters who manage to exc out semi
starvation existence on the small plots of land
belonging to white farmers, Land Companies
and absentee landlords.
The Bill gives the power to the Landowners
and farmers to contract natives and their FAM
lilies for period of six months without pay
by preventing the natives from cultivating their
small pieces Of land 1t eliminates. the compe-
ttion Of the small native peasantry and provides
the feaudal slave owners with unpaid labor,
thus enabling them, to compete on the world
market. 1t chains the native to the farmer.
for it provides the farmer with the right to
whip his servant either If he breaks his con-
tract or is insolent, and thus under South
African conditions numbering and whipping of
natives becomes sanctioned by law. At first
the Whipping clause was to be applied to natives
under Is only, but due to its great popularity
among the formers 1t will be extended to natives
over Is years Of age. -.---..s-

politically as yet. 1t is evident that the LEFT"
in Germany have mistaken their desire their
ideopoItical attitude, for objective reality. This
is the most dangerous error which can be made
by Revolutionists In Russia, where the fierce
and savage yoke of Czarism, extending over a
long period, had created an extraordinarily great
variety of Revolutionists of every creed, remark
able for their wonderful devotion, enthusiasm,
strength of mind, and heroism, we watched this
mistake particularly closely; and it is because
we studied it with particular attention that this
mistake is especially familiar to us, and espe-
cially apparent to our eyes when ~evolutionists
in other countries fall into it. For the Commun-
lists in Germany, parliamentarism is of course
politically worn-out"; but - and this is the
whole point-we must not deem that that which
is WORKOUT for us is necessarily WORKOUT for
the class, the masses. Here, again. we see that
the Left" do not know how to argue do not
know how to behave as class, as a party of
the masses. True it is our duty not to ,snk
to the level of the masses, to the level of the
backward strata Of the class. This is incon-
testable. 1t is our duty to tell them the bitter
truth. 1t is our duty to call their bourgeois
democratic and parliamentary prejudices by
their right names. But, at the same time, it is
our duty to watch soberly the actual state of
consciousness and preparedness of the whole
class and not Of the Communist vanguard
alone; of the whole laboring mass, and not
merely of its foremost men.
If, not millions" and "legions," but merely a
considerable minority of industrial workers fol-
low the Catholic priests, and if considerable
minority of village workers follow the land
owners and rich peasants, it inevitably means
that parliamentarism in Germany is not polit-
ically WORKOUT as yet; hence participation in
parliamentary elections and the struggle on the
parliamentary platform is obligatory for the par
ty Of the revolutionary proletariat, just for the
purpose of educating the backward masses of
its own class, just in order to awaken and
tighten the mdeveloped, down-trodden ignor-
ant masses. Just as long as you are unable to
disperse the bourgeois parliament and other re-
dictionary institutions, you are bound to work
inside them, but the very reason that there are
still Work1nen within them made fools of by
priests or by the remoteness of village life.
Otherwise you run the risk of becoming mere
hehplers s>-~--------,s

We are reprinting excerpt from Comrade
Lenin's pamphlet on Left" Communism. The
reprinted part is taken from the section of the
pamphlet dealing with the question of Com
nnunist participation in bourgeois parliaments.
Editor, Daily Worker.
Observation-Disclosures is historically worm
1 out" in a world-historical sense; that is to
say, the epoch of the Proletarian Dictatorship
has begun. This is incontestably true. But the
scale of the worlds history is not reckoned by
decades. Ten or twenty years sooner or later
this from the point of view of the world-his-
torical scale - makes no difference; from the
point of view of world-history, it is a trifle
which cannot be even approximately reckoned.
But this is just why it is crying theoretical
mistake in questions of practical politics to re-
fer to the world-historical scale.
Parliament is politically WORKOUT? This is
quite another matter If this we're true, the
position of the Left" would be strong. Whether
it is actually true must be proved by the most
searching analysis; the Left do not even know
how to tackle the problem. In the theses on
Parliamentarism, published in No l Of the
Bulletin Of the Provisional Amsterdam Bureau
OF the Communist International, February, 1920
which obviously express Dutch left" Cor left"
Dutch views, we shall see that the analysis, too
is very poor.
In the first place, the German LEFT" as is
known, considered parlamentarism politically
WORKOUT" as far back as January, 1919 con-
trary to the opinion of such eminent political
leaders as Rosa Luxembourg and Karl Lieb-
lnecht 1t has now been seen that the Left"
made mistake. This alone radically destroys
the proposition that "parlamentarism is polit-
ically worn-out." 1t is incumbent upon the
left" to prove that their mistake at that time
has Y,nur ceased To be a. mistake They do not.
and cannot give even the shadow Of proof
of their proposition. The attitude Of political
party toward its own mistakes is one of the
most important and surest criteria Of the seri-
BUSINESS of the party and of how it fulfils in
practice its obligations toward its class and to-
ward the laboring masses. To admit mistake
openly, to disclose its reasons, to analyze the
surroundings which created it, to study atten-
lively the means OF correcting it-these are the
xsr,s Of SERIOUS party; this means the per-

GLOVER SPEECH
HIT BY LEAGUE.

President Hoover has been urged
to take disciplinary action" with
regard to Second Assistant Post
master General W. I. Glover and
other Postoffice Department off
cials for encouraging postmasters
to engage in political activity in
behalf of the Administration.
The plea is made in a letter,
made public today, from the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform
League, which calls attention to
the recent address of Glover at
Springfield, Mo-, in which he
urged the assembly of postmasters
to work for the present Repub-
lican administration.
The leagues letter to the
President also refers to a some
what similar speech by First AS
Sistant Secretary Arch Coleman,
Of the Postoffice Department in
February, 1881.
The league also urged an i'm
mediate change in the Executive
order governing appointment of
Presidential postmasters to require
the selection of the highest rank
ing eligible man in every case, or
else revocation of the order and
frank admission that political con-
S1derations governs selection.
