Its main thesis is that war threatens the
Soviet Union. All organs of the II. Interna-
tional, from the Berlin 'Vorwarts" to the Vienna
"Arbeiter- -zetung" seek TO lull the vigilance of
the working class by means Of this criminal
thesis.
At Geneva Litylnov is fighting for peace. The
IL International simply sneers at his efforts The
Soviet government is endeavoring to turn aside
the Japanese provocations, The II. International
maintains silence regarding these provocations,
and the oVrwarts" declares that the Soviet
Union is just as imperialistic towards China as
is Japan.
In 1914 the social democracy did not prepare,
did not organize the war. At that time it sup
ported the war which the bourgeoisie had or
ganized and prepared. Now, however, the social
fascists organize and prepare the war. The fight
against intervention and war is also fight
against social fascism, fight to win the work.

Commission to cover this UP is sheer hunbug
and throwing sand into the eyes OF the workers
and binding them to the real facts, even of this
pretense Of providing Unemployment Insur-
ance."
- Payments made by each employer shall
constitute the unemployment reserve of his firm
and shall be so treated in the accounts The
purpose of this proposal is to make each estab-
lishment responsible for unemployment instr-
ance to cover it's working force. 1t leaves 1t
within the province Of the particular concern to
fire any workers they please, especially as the
unemployment insurance fund has to- be built
up over a certain period. The proposal declares
that leach company assume responsibility, lrn-
tied by the amount of its contribution for the
unemployment of its own work force"
~ The maximum rate Of benefit shall be 50
per cent Of an employees wage $40, which,
is lower, and the maximum period of bene-
fit shall be 10 weeks within any IL months"
Provision is made for part-time employees but
lin no case, however shall the benefit of part
time employee exceed $40 week for 10 weeks
within any II months"
1t is obvious from the above that the govern
ment has the shameless effrontery to proposs
starvation even for those workers who still have
jobs, namely, that they shall not receive moro
than 500 year or $3.50 month This is called
Unemployment Insurance"
81 "The financial responsibility OF an en-
ployer shall be strictly limited by the amount Of
his unemployment reserve" To safeguard this
so-called principle, it is proposed that when
the employers reserve at the beginning of any
month i5 lccs than eco for an employee the
maximum rate of benefit be proportionateIy re-
duced This means that even the maximum $40
per week for 10 weeks can be arbitrarily reduced
by the employer. !

The Six Governors Fake Unemployment
Insurance Plan

The proposals do not make any provision
whatever for the IL million unemployed at pres
ent out on the street-or for the approximately
six million unemployed in the six states above
enumerated. These IL million are non-existent
mass and therefore will be allowed to continue
to starve as far as the provisions of he So
called Interstate Unemployment Insurance re-
port are concerned.
1t is necessary, however, in view of the fact
that in the State of Wisconsin with the aid Of
the Socialists, Unemployment Insurance has
been introduced, that the bill of the six COVER
nors be analyzed and exposed to the workers.
According to t he Wisconsin Bill, each insured
worker at present working in industry, shall re-
ceive maximum benefit of 500 year. Work
ers eligible for benefits are those who lose jobs
invountarily or those who have been resident
employees in the State. This bill, however, does
not go into effect until June l, 1888"
The six Governors Commission makes the fol-
lowing proposals
II The compulsory establishment of statewide
systems of unemployed reserves The report de-
clsres that only a small fraction of the work
force Of the nation is covered at the present time
by voluntary unemployment insurance.
D The payment Of each employer Of a con-
tribution OF per cent Of his payroll The report
states quite cynically that "We have canvassed
careWully the arguments Tor and against the
payment Of contributions or premiums by en-
ployees' and therefore the commission is against
it, stating that "the employees should not be re-
CURED to reduce their earnings further by the
payment Of contributions into unemployment re-
serves" 1t is perfectly obvious, however that the
per cent that would be paid by the employers
into the insurance fund will be deducted from
the payroll Of the workers, so that this Is

ths shops and factories, and any attempt bv the

must especially remember that the workers
will have to make big sacrifices in the event
Of limitation or abolition Of the manufac-
ture Of ornaments. It might mean an in
crease Of unemployment depriVations and
sacrifices"
These truths from the lips Of Jouhaux have
become the common property Of the II. and Am
sterdam Internationals. And when the social
democratic factory councils in the Leuna works
promote war production, when the social dem
ocratic members of the Hamburg town council
support the transport of munitions they are only
carrying out the instructions Of the H. Interna
tional Hundreds of ships with cargoes of war
material, arms and munitions are leaving Dan
zig, Hamburg, London, Marseilles, Bordeaux,
CherboMg. Dunkirk, Bremen, Rotterdam, Am
sterdam and the Scandinavian ports And the
Central Committee Of the Transport Workers
International records with concern" the fact
Of war, and decides, in the event of the war de
veloping further-to convene a fresh meeting.
Another common feature of the strategy and
tactics Of the II. International is that they
criticize the rival mperiaiists but support their
own imperialst bOurgeOiie. Lansbury uses sharp
words against Japanese imperialism because the
latter jeopardizeS the English interests in China
But he supports MacDonalds government on all
questions of foreign policy. And Paul Boncour
is the attorney of French Imperialism in the
League of Nations, And the French socialists
support the foreign policy OF Tardieu ana do not
breathe a word Of criticism of the Franco
Japanese war alliance, of Tardieu's offer OF an
alliance to England, well knowing that these
alliances mean war. The policy Of defense of
native country, the war preparations are often
carried out in complicated forms. The German
social democrats boast of the valuable services
they rendered in the. war, and support Linden
burg, the military hero. The Austro- -Narxists
take the japanese socialists under their protec-
ton, well knowing that they support the i'm
perialist robber war.

PART 2,

Facing this situation, with the growing men
ace Of food riots and violence on the part of the
unemployed who are driven to desperation, the
governors of six states-New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and
Ohio-appointed an Interstate Commission on
Unemployment Insurance, which submitted its
findings and recommendations on ebruary H.
after nearly year of study. To begin with, the
report declares: at seems to us unlikely that
any single measure now adopted, without fur
ther experimentation and experience, can cope
successfully with all forms of unemployment, or
with the total period of unemployment, or even
with all of the unemployed"
