‘lend money or bankers should advise customers to|* ” Russia’s The Fight in California In Los Angeles the Communists are paving the way for a strong state-wide revolutionary political campaign. Here the Workers Party is setting the pace in the campaign preparations along the Pacific coast. There is every reason on earth why the Califor- nia workingmen and poorest farmers should be drawn into the fold of the active struggle against | the exploiters. The golden state has for many years Chicago, !linole| been the center of the most virulent anti-labor cam- paigns. Some of the fiercest battles waged by the American labor movement have taken place in | California. California is the home of the oleaginous Do- heny. It is the harbor of that oil-besmirched and | disappointed presidential aspirant, Mr. McAdoo. For many years the entire state of California was completely controlled by the Southern Pacific Rail- way. Hiram Johnson, the harmless, fought these | big interests only to build up a more powerful po- litical machine which he could then sell to the same capitalists for an exorbitant price. That notorious strikebreaker, Robert Dollar, is a native son of the golden state. One of the best organized and most lavishly financed open shop drives was waged in San Francisco. Nor has corrupt labor officialdom failed to become a cancer on the body of the working class in California. At this very moment every phase of politics in California, except the campaign of the Workers Party, is reeking with the vilest corruption. The driving force in the Coolidge machine is an oil magnate named Mark Requa, The leading spirit of the democratic coterie is the wealthy banker, ex- Nie 45 Inconteivabla that business men should | senator Phelan, who at the democratic convention, n attempting to excuse McAdoo’s crooked dealings with Doheny, declared: “A man must eat.” The LaFollette junta is guilty of smashing the ranks |of the workers and of spreading deadly demoraliza tion in the camp of the farmer-laborites. The so. cialist party is today serving as the legal excus¢ |for the continuation of the crimes of the self-style< | progressives. The LaFollette electors are prepar ing to appear on the ballot under the name of the socialist party. It is-clear to every worker that there is only one political organization in the state fighting for the interests of the wage-earning masses. This is th Workers Party with its Communist candidates and Communist program. Every workingman, every dispossessed farmer should do his bit te help the pace-setting Communists of Los Angeles organize a successful campaign.

We are not directing an attack against the body and soul of Mr. Morgan himself. The incident merely affords more evidence showing the decisive voice that American financiers are exercising in international politics and economy. The almost immeasurable banking influence of J. P. Morgan & Co. is being thrown against the Soviet loan for many reasons. Mr. E. C. Grenfell, J.P. Morgan’s London partner and member of parliament for the City of London, thus explained the opposition of his master to Great Britain mak- ing a loan to the Soviet government. Mr. Grenfell said: join in a loan to the present junta which presumes to speak for the Russian people. If any loan should be made on the lines of the proposed treaty, part of the proceeds possibly might be used to conciliate creditors. “But I feel sure that the larger portion would go toward propaganda to assist a Communistic revolution in this and other countries.” As usual, the liberal spokesmen chime in with} the songs of the most influential imperialists. The “New Statesman,” speaking for the most self-con- fessed honest liberals, accepts this dictum of the House of Morgan without question. The reasoning of Mr. Grenfell and his liberal supporters is transparent. The notions spread by these opponents of a Soviet loan‘have long ago been discarded by the diplomats who have been decisive- ly worsted in their encounters with the Soviet gov- ernment. At this moment there is a special reason why the British imperialists and their liberal lackeys are so eloquent in their tirade against the first Workers’ and Farmers’ Republic. The Soviet government has dealt a decisive blow to the Anglo- American imperialist interests in the Far East thru its Chinese agreement. The liberals are pining to get back into control of the administrative ma- chinery of the British government and are hoping to make Bolshevism the issue in the coming cam- paign. Naturally, these honesty-hunting liberals are planning to wage a campaign based on the lowest forms of prejudice and the depths of ig- norance. Of course, the British workers will not hesitate to meet the challenge. Economically, Great Britain needs Soviet Russia at least .as much as the latter needs the present support of the English loan. The imperialists and their liberal allies will make little -headway. A Banker’s Despair Mr. Peter J. Brady, chief labor lieutenant of Tammany Hall and president of the Federation Bank of New York, has just returned from th: British Trade Union Congress which he attende as the fraternal delegate of ~ American Federa- tion of Labor. Mr. Brady did not return an cheerful man he was when he left. At the British Trade Union Con- gress, the labor banker had occasion to listen to an address by Comrade Tomsky, in behalf of the Red Trade Union International. Judging by the bitter- ness of his attack on Tomsky, Mr. Brady was not satisfied with the headway made by the revolution- ary labor leader. Furthermore,. the Tammany satellite was compelled to report that there is a haunting fear among the European workers that the big business interests are pe to make them pay for the war. The best evidence of banker Brady’s despair is jhis comment on the conditions of the labor moye- ment. Mr. Brady tells us that the Communists have at last been routed in their efforts to win a foothold. Let us be charitable and say that Brady’s imagination is working overtime. The fact of the matter is that within the last year the Commun- ists have tremendously increased their prestige and influence in the political and economic organ- ‘izations of the working class of Europe. 2 At the last Congress of the Metal Trades Union of Germany, perhaps the biggest labor union in the world, the Communists gave the yellow socialists the hardest fight they have ever had. The Com- munists were cheated out of a victory by a narrow margin which the government socialists secured only thru the financial and political assistance of the uppermost section of the exploiting class. In France, the drift toward the left, toward the Com- munist, is most marked in the labor unions. In Italy, Communist influence is growing by leaps and bounds. Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria’ and the Scandinavian countries tell the same story. But what can one expect from a labor leader who spends his time in business ventures and question- able political deals? What can one expect from a labor lieutenant of capital who is working fever- ishly in an attempt to organize, a profit-seeking corporation and in an effort to deliver the workers’ votes to that notorious gang of ward-heelers and boodle politicians residing in Tammany Hall? Apparently, despair is the last refuge of the labor misleader. More War Preparations Coincident with the oder issued by T’resident Coolidge to a board of experts for a complete up- to-date report on the value of aircraft in the mili- tary and naval defense of the country, is an in- teresting report of the census division of the de- partment of commerce, According to the data collected a the last, 1923, biennial census of manufactures, the number of establishments manufacturing airplanes or their parts increased from twenty-one to thirty-three in the last two years. In the same period the number of wage earners employed in such manufactures increased more than one hundred per cent. At the same time the value of the products rose nearly ninety-five per cent, the number of airplanes turned out nearly seventy-five per cent. These cold and dry figures are indicators of the feverish activities now going on in the United States in preparation to win militarry and naval supremacy. Today, France leads the capitalist powers in the strength of its air squadrons. The imperialist French government is, at this writing, supreme in aviation strength, with a total of one hundred and seventy-four air squadrons. America, with forty-eight air squadrons, is segond. Great Britain, Italy and Japan, are closely bunched be- hind the United States. The race for aerial supremacy is becoming sharper. By the treaty of Washington, some out of date war engines were to be scrapped. These steps towards fraudulent disarmament were ac- cepted only in order to make it economically pos- sible for the war-shattered capitalist powers to invest heavily in the most modern and infernal war preparations. Chemical and aerial warfare were not considered by the imperialist spokesmen gathered at Washington. All the subsequent capi- talist peace conferences have astutely failed to consider aviation and chemical warfare. There is every likelihood that the American gov- ernment will soon outsttip the French in aviation strength. The United States can well afford a race of armaments in the air, But the very victory of the American capitalists’ will be a signal for the outbreak of a new world war—a defeat for the workers of every country. \ Democratic candidate John W. Davis is back among the Virginia hills telling the miners what he is willing to do for labor. Where was John W. Davis during the years that mine operators were shooting down the workers in cold blood for at- tempting to organize their forces into a union? Mr. Davis was working for the House of Morgan and the scab coal operators. What about the the Coronado case? ° It is reported that Bryan (Charles, no apologies to Chicago Tribune) is coming to Chicago to get spanked for disloyalty to the head of his ticket out in the great open spaces where the sun is so hot. brainy men must wear skull caps THE DAILY WORKER The Campaign Fund Campaign Number Three Looms Up! By ALFRED WAGENKNECHT. LL RIGHT! -We are not a Chinese army. Rain or shine, we keep steadily at it, fiting broadside after broadside into that high and mighty class which thinks it will always remain the victors and we the vanquished. What an awak- ening there will be! For we've an IRON WILL TO WIN, so we have. And we are CONFIDENT of VICTORY! Then also, in the ial sate it has been generally re- solved to rush for the largest shovel and to work overtime without even so much as a “thank you” for pay. Capitalism WILL come tumbling down. We have not taken our from one to twenty years’ courses at learning hqw to undermine the foundation of this colossal monstrosity for nothing. 2 * * * * . Again—if we have used our heads for other things be- sides keeping our ears apart, then we all will have READ SEVERAL TIMES the new 1—2—3—4—5 just rushed to us by the Communist International. * * * * ARE YOU A PARTY MEMBER EVEN IF YOU ARE? This is the question we will all have to put to ourselves and at once. For the Comintern requisites for party member- ship have been DECISIVELY DECIDED, and here they are: 1.

It means that to be a party mem- ber you and I and everyone MUST COMPLY with 1—2—4—5 and then link these four requisites up with NUMBER THREE. Study all five requisites for just a minute.
