The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-04-29

itudes from his arsenal of hypocrisy
tagonisms between United States and
British imperialism.
He spoke of that mythical tradi-
tional friendship between the two
greatest imperialist bandit powers Of
the world. His theme was Anglo
American cooperation and good will.
He harped on a tune that has no
validity in contemporary experience
in an attempt to cover up the clash
Of interests between the two powers
in every part Of the world.
Concealed Facts Of Conversations
Not once did the British prime
minister refer to the world wide eco
nomic conflict that RACES between the
United States and Great Britain. He
was silent on the ornaments race.
He never mentioned the underhanded
diplomacy with Mussolini in Rome
which was the beginning of an at
tempt to build around Italian fas-
cist and British Tory policy COM
bination embracing Italy, Britain
and Germany. Nothing was said
about the unleashing by the Tory
government of a new vicious anti
Soviet campaign to cover up the ex-
posures of the criminal completely Of
his government in instigating and
directing wrecking and spying &C
tivities carried out by Metropolitan
Vickers engineers inside the Soviet
Union. He was likewise silent on
the part played by British imperial
ism in backing the drive of the jap
anese imperialists against the Chin
csc masses.
Doesn't Mention South America
OF course, no one could expect
Macdonald to bring up such deli
cate question as Anglo American re-
lationships in South America. In
that part Of the world the talk Of
diplomats is drowned out by the roar
of cannon as Paraguay, backed by
British Imperialism, tries to resist
the offensive of Bolivia which car
rieS forward the Wall Street policy
of imperialist aggression. Colombia,
the most servile of all puppet gov
ernments TO American imperialism,
is involved in a war with Peru, at
the same moment the Wall Street
agents strive inside Peru itself to
weaken and destroy British influence.
Such are some of the facts that
refute the fiction of Anglo-American
imperialist cooperation"
Glcrifies Imperialist Depravity
No greater blessings, said Mac
Donald, could come to the world
than that Great Britain and Am
erica should remain in affectionate
relationships" Continuing, he said:
Il would like to take this OPP
portunity, on behalf of my daught-
er and myself, to send a parting
message of good will to the Am
erican folks who speak our langu-
age, who are inspired with the
geniuses that both of us claim as
ours-Shakespeare, Milton; great
political philosophy Of liberty, in
dependence, which you may have
asserted against us, and whilst you
took it, we blessed you for the SER
vices you did to u.s."
The patriots who listened, applaud
ed this observation of Macdonald.
Then they sang God Save the King"
and some verses of TIE Star Spangled
Banner. But they cicln't sing that
portion of it that dealt directly with
the situation under which it was
written = during the second war to
keep the English armed forces off
American soil Macdonald would
not exactly have blessed these
words written during that war:
Where is that band who SO vaunt-
ingly swore, that the havoc of war,
the battles confusing, a home ard a
country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution; no refuse could
save the hireling and slave from the
terror of flight or the gloom of the
grave" These sentiment apply today
TO both British and American impe-
rialisms.
Those who sing it today, and who
listened to Macdonald, would hardly
welcome similar sentiments expressed
