"Wednesday, August 6, 1924 | | BANKERS RUSH TO EUROPE FOR GOLD HARVEST J.P. Morgan and Host of Others Come By JAY LOVESTONE. Never before in the history of ‘the United States have so many ‘American bankers “vacationed” or openly worked: in Europe. Not even in the days before the Yankee was rushed to Flanders field, mot even in the days when the wmerican bankers and manu-| Prim facturers were reaping a har- vest in supplying ammunition and food to the Allied armies ‘have so many Wall Street finan- folers filled the alleys and by- ways of the European business Streets. Before the summer is over nearly every American bank of ;Standing will have its represen- ttatives in London, Berlin, Paris or some other big center across ‘the Atlantic. They are all gath- ering there in expectation of a “big “killing” as a result of the Dawes plan being accepted by the London Reparations Con- ference. Of course, the biggest banks are on the job first. The ‘smaller banks will follow suit.

American capitalist imperialism has sent fourteen of its leading bankers to lay down the terms of Germany’s eco- nomic surrender, to work out the ways and means of turning the German workingman into willing wage slaves of Wall Stret’s newest sweat shops. Who would dare say what the next decade will bring to the United States and the rest of the world if the inter- national exploiters’ hands are not stayed soon by the working class in this manouver to enslave scores of millions? Young Workers Plan Picnics with Soviet Technical Aid Group In response to the call sent out by the National Office of the Young Workers League to help finance their semi-mouthly organ, THE YOUNG WORKER, the Chicago League is making hasty preparations for a big Picnic to be held in conjunction with the Society for Technical Aid to Soviet Ruasia on Sunday, August the 24th at National Grove, Riverside, Ill. Amusements such as soccer ball games, bas@ball, races of all kinds, bowling, dancing and music will be of course abundant. All the Chicago Junior Groups will take part.in this Pienic. There will be speakers, there will be Junior demon- strations. The Juniors of Chicago will do their share to help raise finances for their official organ, THE YOUNG COMRADE. This promises to be an unusually in- teresting picnic. More details will follow. John D’s Daughter to Blame. NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—Action of City Magistrate, Norman Marsh in giving Abbey Rockefeller, daughter of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., a suspended sen- tence when she was brought before him as a second offender for speeding was referred today to the bar associa- tion by Mayor Hylan. The Mayor en- closed the report of Commissioner of Accounts Hirschfield blaming Marsh, and demanded the law be applied “with equal force to all.” PA oP IE IIIS Me SI Bhi i, ES ar Rat I EE Se LC RE MN ht 0 eS Het alt ISIE 9 RT tl De a aR OER cD SE OE TE EA AE OED PORES CHANCES ORIGINAL THE DAILY WORKER GOVERNORS IN MILITARISTS GOOSE STEP Communists Protest Against War (Special to the DAILY WORKER) WASHINGTON, August 5.— Officials’ defense of ‘Defense Day,” rechristened from “Mo- bilization Day,” continues apace with increasing dissatis- faction among the people at the government's militaristic move. Secretary of War Weeks ex- plains to an inquisitive clergy- man that the “defense test”... “will be an endeavor on the part of the federal government to inform our people as fully as possible on the present status of our security.” In other words, the “defense day” can be used as the basis for propa- ganda for an increased army and navy to carry out the United States capi- talists’ imperialistic plans. Other defenders of the status quo and of “Mobilization Day” are claim- ing that the “defense test” is merely a “fire drill on an adult scale. Governor’s Approve. Governor W.' W.

Young Workers Listen to Communist Youth The Young Workers League drive to educate the workers thru-out the country working in the National Bis- cuit company to the aims of the League is now on in full swing in New York, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland and many other cities. Over one thou- sand copies of the last issue of the Young Worker, which exposed the sweat shop conditions imposed by the Biscuit company, were sold in front of the Chicago plant at 1000 West Washington Street. Summarizing the results already achieved in the National Biscuit Com- pany drive, Barney Mass safd, “The result obtained is an existing poten- tial nucleus, also the sale of eleven hundered Young Workers; the fur. thering of the shop economic de. mands; popularizing the League thru these demands; and the general prop: aganda values,” Street meetings have been held out- side the factory. at which the young workers of the company have listened attentively, in spite of the grumbling of the special police hired by the com- pany to protect the workers from con- tamination by the “red menace.” The investigatiaon of the conditions bama has issued his proclamation call- ing on the state to co-operate on Sept. 12 in “Mobilization Day.” Gov. Al Smith of New York is strad- dling the issue at present and refuses to ask his state’s co-operation with Coolidge, altho he doesn’t loudly dis- sent with Charlie Bryan and John W. Davis. Gov. Ross of Wyoming said: ‘Since the United States is so overwhelming- ly against the League of Nations . . there is nothing to do in the U. S. but to prepare to fight.” And he is Planning how to mobilize Wyoming for Sept. 12, Sweet Stumbling Block. Gov. Sweet of Colorado is the first governor on record definitely against “Mobilization Day.” He said: “I do not propose to mobilize the National Guard of Colorado, Sept. 12, vis nor do I propose to ask participation of civilians in military affairs.” Gov. Sweet may change his mind when the politicians get busy. The Seattle Fellowship Club have protested to little Calvin against the “warlike move.” Various peace so- cieties are of course protesting, tho most of them could be fooled into an- other war by a George Creel and the help of the capitalistic newspapers. Reactionaries Ready. All the warlike “veterans” (not the World War Veterans organizations); daughters of this gd that war; camp fire girls and boy scouts; Sentinels of the ‘Republic; National Security League; National Civic Federation; American Legion; Citizens Military Training camps; and the rest of the reactionary “paytriots” are for “Mob- flization Day. to show off and sputter a lot of glow. ing sentiment to cover up their greed. Sammy Gompers, a me black National Civic Federation, is hesitating about croaking against “Mobilization Day.” His friends of the American Legion and the Civic Federation will tell him what to say. The Communists alone protest sin- cerely against capitalist wars and “Mobilization/ Day” as a military ges- ture. Goose-Step. General “Blackjack” Pershing, who hasn't been getting so much publicity sine he “won the war” for America, is confident that all the states will be in line Sept. 12. They will probably be forced into the goose-step.

It appears that the Repub- lican chieftain was so engrossed in the observation of several lady enter- tainers, dressed in the earliest fash- jon, t he did not notice the ap- proach of the police. The police, be- ing democrats did not hearken unto the plea of Mr, Vernon, that publicity on the arrest would bring harm to many men of prominence.

Suitable for framing or posting in your window, VOTE other European cities about what is transpiring in Russia, but the clumsi- est and most ridicnulous tale yet given prominence in the American capitalist press is the story of Lenin's thumbnail sketch of Zinoviev, Kam- aneff, Trotsky and other Communist leaders. According to the yarn Lenin did not hold his comrades in high esteem. Trotsky loved to pose, Zino- viev had no ability, Stalin was small minded, Bucharin was dull, Kameneff unreliable. The story was such an obvious frame that but an imbecile would take it ser- jiously, yet the Chicago Tribune writes a lengthy editorial on the fable, wind ing up with the jaded assertion that the Russians like‘ tyrants and there. fore tolerate Lenin’s successors, while Americans are so different. Anti-Capitalist War Sentiment Is Forcing Militarists to Fight NEW YORK, August 5 Popular protest against the government's Mo. bilization Day, September 12, is rising in the east on the ground that this is an attempt to militarize the nation comparable to the pre-war prepared- ness hysteria which led the country tlirectly into war. In order to combat the growing pacifist and anti-capitalist war sentiment and make Mobilization Day a success in the New York dis- trict, Maj. General Robert ‘Lee Bullard, U. S. army, has called a conference of 19 so-called patriotic organizations for August 14, This conference is expected to envolve plans to put over Mobil tion Day despite popular protest. Bullard has issued a public defense of Mobilization Day along the lines of Coolidge’s and Pershing’s propaganda. Canadian Unemployment.

Davis, Morgan-Democratic candidate |for president, true to his position of evasion on the labor, klan and liquor ues, is trying unsuccessfully to si le the fence on the question of tarism. In order to support a similar gesture by his running mate ; Governor Bryan and strike a political blow at Calvin Coolidge, Davis has lissued a statement opposing civilian |mobilization as provided for by the government in its plan for a militarist demonstration. It is pointed out that employers object to giving a one day vacation to workers anyway. But Davis is careful not to offend the militarists. He is all for keeping ‘the military organizations of the country in adequate practice.” Fire-brand Pershing has arrived from Hurope and, after giving out a long propaganda statement suppert- ing the proposed mobilization of which he was one of the initiators, ends with this provocative threat: “I can say. right now that I and every ex-service man is ready to go to the mat on this question of national defense.” Frightened by the popular lack»of interest in mobilization day or open hostility to it, the army is calling out its generals to fight in the after-dinner, trenches.
