. AAA OARS BE ae ct Geneva and Moscow - T is well that the bourgeoisie tries to dazzle the working masses with its pacifist farce of the League of Na- tions, There is something of sincer- ity in this desire of France and Eng- land to reach an accord in order that, in the near future, new captalist wars in Europe might be avoided. This desire is born from the fear that capitalism is beginning to have of the proletariat as a class that each day acquires greater political matur- ity and greater resolution to seize for itself the direction of society. The example of the Russian Soviet Union is sufficiently eloquent and speaks more clearly than all the tracts of so- cial economy. Karl Marx never could have dreamed that his fundamental work “Capital,” would find a citadel in the vast proletarian republic. If, before October, 1917, the bour- geois classes neither feared nor be- lieved possible the loss of their priv- ileges, today they believe and fear it. If, before October, 1917, the prole- tariat was politically disunited and vacillating, today, united and compact, it marches with sure tread toward the accomplishment of its historic mis- sion. ; Against the revolutionary danger, against the proletarian menace, the governments unite in the holy alliance of capital and go to Geneva, to the League of Nations, to form agree- ments to avoid these disasters and to perpetuate their mutual domination. It is an international tragedy that the liberties and rights of the people are locked in the wardrobé of “democ- racy.” This has tio other end than to perpetuate the rule of the Anglo- American banks, to form a bond of mutual protection against the work- these workers and of the colonial countries, And this farce is staged precisely by those most abjéct serv- ants of the god of capital who, in other times, called themselves “so- cialists.” Y Look at MacDonald; he of the Spit- head naval review, talking of the “peace union,” of the “rights of peo- ples!” He, that organizes naval re- views to show to the London Con- ference! He, that brutally stamps upon the populations of Egypt, Sudan He, representative of a and and India! ‘labor government,” a worker, of artillery. That is the League of Nations, the capitalist international, served by the reformists of Amsterdam. A_ bour- geois periodical has called the ses- sions of the League of Nations “The Parliament of the World.” It is true, but there is need to add of “World Capitalism.” Beside that organism, which syn- thesizes the agony of the world bour- geoisie, we have something that is worth infinitely more. We have our glorious Communist International! We have, in the Kremlin, our Parlia- Spain “Withdraws” from Morocco confesses receiving gifts of $150,000 from a capitalist, his “friend from in- fancy.” Look at Herriot; he of the French Republic, a “democrat,” etc., who has reddened Morroco with arms, who or- ganizes enormous military maneuvers, with ends . . “pacifist,” who tol- erates the importation of colored workers into France to disorganize the proletariat meanwhile he sends French soldiery to the colonies to ers and to continue the exploitation of!“civilize” and “pacify” with fusillades The Vanguard Group of the Junior Section has broken into the field of journalism. This group recently is- sued an oral paper, which was read at their affair. This activity is note worthy and shows that the Juniors are not neglecting any opportunities to reach the children with Communist ideas. Below -are excerpts from the paper: : NEWS TRAVELS FAR. Several months ago, the Jew- ish Workers Relief Committee gave a bazaar. It lasted four days with one Saturday after- noon being set aside for a costume party the best costume to receive a prize. The Juniors, under the leader- ship of Comrade Abe Harris were to give a drill. Dressed in their costumes, they first went to Humboldt Park with Com- rades Harris and Bill Kruse. Comrade Kuse- took moving pictures of the costume exer- cise. Then, after we finished the drill, we formed into a group and Comrade Kruse took a standstill. The pictures turned out good. The movies were sent to Soviet Russia. The standstills were sold to us at ten cents each. One Comrade bought three, one for herself, one to send to Eng- land and one to send to an uncle in Soviet Russia. ‘Her uncle sent back a let- ter telling what he did with the picture. What do you suppose? He gave it to the Young Com- munists’ daily newspaper in ment of the World Proletariat! With the difference in our favor that our In- ternational is the dawn of a world being born, and the League of Nations is the expiring sigh of a world that dies; that dies slowly, but that dies. The League of Nations has, more- over, as its primary purpose, the un- ion of capitalist nations against the Soviet Union. Russia, the proletar- ian republic, is the only nation of the world upon which Anglo-Yankee capitalism dare not lay its despoiling By R. Merino Gracia hand. It is the only nation that has an international policy, clear, con- scious, concrete. This policy is de rived from its internal constitution. Russia is proletarian, and its interna- tional policy is an alliance of steel and a heroic defense of the whole world of Labor, of the working and oppressed classes, of the enslaved colonial peoples. We can well understand, then, the hatred of the imperialist countries against the Sovet Union. Interna- tional capitalism, that has in Asia an enormous field of exploitation of the natives, encounters now the Soviet Union, civilized, exemplary, and ani- mating those oppressed peoples to free themselves from the tyranny of oppreasing nations. England is un- able to pardon Russia for making Mos- cow a Holy City for all thé oppressed, the disinherited, the wonder city that gives asylum to the suppressed and exploited and which teaches them the way of liberation. From the pale-cheeked workers of London, that falter of hungrer in the midst of a fastuous world metropolis, to the poor pariahs of India, lost in the jungles, all turn their eyes to Mos- cow, and pronounce the names of Marx and Lenin with fervorous ecs- tasy! Geneva and Moscow! The League of Nationss, capitalistic, rapacious and oppressive! And the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics! Two worlds, between which there is stages a war to the death! A war that can only end with the triumph of Moscow. This is the great battle of our time‘ Every worker should understand where his post is, and advance to oc- cupy it, courageous and decided! - Signed—R. Merino Gareia.

One of our Comrades, Eva Stolar, has organized a new group which has named itself the John Reed Group of the Jr. Y. W. L. They elected officers after Comrade Rose Cohen, city organizer of the Juniors made a little speech. Comrade Rose’s speech proved to be interesting to the new} Juniors. A Comrade from the Workers Party was also pre- sent. He helped the hew Com- rades very much. At present the group has 25 members. Youthful Communists At Minneapolis, Minn., Hold Junior Circus MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 24. — The Junior section of the Young Workers League in Minneapolis is pre- paring to show that the children of the working class are just as capable of entertaining the workers, as are even the well financed boys’ clubs.
