by the Negro majority in the Black
Belt of the South; nor in the colo
NAL and semi-colonial possessions Of
Yankee imperialism.
Macdonald proved to his reactions
airy audience that British imperialist
butchers are as adept in the use of
lofty language to conceal their band
TRY as are the political lackeys of
Wall Street who, like the later Woo
drow Wilson, said it was the mani
fest destiny" of American imperial-
ism to bring its blessings to weaker
peoples. One of the most repulsive
features of all imperialism is that
its spokesman pretend that their mis-
sion is to uplift the colonial and
semi-colonial masses, while it has
never done anything than deprave
all lands it touches.
India, Nicaragua, Haiti
This disgusting lackey Of British.
imperialism, who is personally res
ponsible for the Meerut prisoners slf-
fering in Jail, who maintains an army
of professional butchers to shoot,
bomb and blast the blessings Of Brit
ish imperialism into Egypt, Arabia,
1rak, who strike to suppress with ths
greatest excesseS of ferocity every
struggle for independence, had the
brass-faced audacity to talk about his
government and the ruling class thaA
government represents standing for
liberty and independence
Macdonald also knew he was talk
ing to people who uphold American
imperialism which first learned from
and then taught other bandit pow
erS of the world in its ravaging OF
Cuba, the PHILIPPINES, Haiti. Santa
Domingo, Nicaragua, Panama, Co
lombia, etc.
But he wasn't talking to express his
thoughts. His job was to conceal
what took place at Washington and
to cover with a rhetorical smoke
screen the rotten secret diplomacy
that brought him to Washington and
that impels the action of all those
now in Washington or who will be
in Washington in connection with the
PACAiiilldIy tOllCICllCCo dIIhIlSeS
in an effort of American imperialism
to take the lead in world reaction at
the Geneva arms and the London
world economic conferences.
Silent On Anti-S Soviet Plots
Not once did Macdonald refer b
the Soviet Union, which was excluded
from the Roosevelt conferences, al
though it is certainly that that
question was one of the principal
points of discussion in view Of the
fact that the Macdonald Baldwin
Tory and die-hard government is
openly trying to provoke war and in
tervention against the Soviet Union
to coincide with the new Japanese
provocations and military movements
toward the Soviet borders in Siberia.
This visit of Macdonald, the con-
versations which are being held at
Washington amidst the most closely
guarded secretly registers terrific I'm
classification Of all the antagonisns
Of decaying capitalism. It is warm :
ing to the toiling masses that not
a moment can be lost in taking up
the struggle against the whole hum
ger and war program Of capitalism.
That the capitalist class perceives
that already we are facing momen-
tous events is plain by the comments
OF their press. This was set forth in
last Mondays New York Evening
Post which announced with alarm:
"The last showdown is approaching"
Whether it is the last depends up
on the action Of the toiling masses.
1t is the working c,fss and its allies,
the formers, that will have the de-
cis,ve word in the last showdown.
Macdonald departed for London.
where the next stage of diplomatic
intrigue is being prepared under the
name of the World Economic Con-
ference, but which will mark another
stage in the mad drive toward at
tempts to solve the crisis in yio-
lent way, the way of imperialist war.
