Page Four PLAN STRUGGLE AGAINST TERROR OF CAPITALISTS One of the Main Tasks of All Communists (Special to The Dally Worker) COLOGNE, Germany, Nov. 20. —The thee main tasks confront- ing the International Commun- ist conference at Cologne were the combatting of the Dawes plan, defense of the revolution in Russia, defense against national and international predatory capitalism and struggle against the terrorist regime exercised by the capitalists, Comrade Fran- cois, representative of the Com- munist International, told the conference. Hits Democratic Pacifism. Comrade Francois scored the “de- mocratic pacifist era,” as exemplified by the recently defeated MacDonald government in England. “The democratic pacifist era is espe- cially characterized by the fact that English imperialism has been more energetic and active under MacDon- ald than at any time since the war. “On the very eve of its fall the Eng lish labor government still refused the natives of the Sudan the right of self determination. “Ever since 1917 the force backing up every endeavor towards national independence all over the world has been the red flag of Communism, for the oppressed peoples of the earth see the symbol of emancipation in the Russian revolution. In China, Afghan- istan, Persia, etc., we witness the gathering of the masses beneath the red banner.” Attacks Second International Comrade Francois attacked the Second International for its part in the Georgia putsch, and declared war on the Dawes plan. “American cap- italism is endeavoring to establish its dictatorship over Europe and _ its economics by means of the Dawes plan,” said Comrade Francois. “BEur- ope is to become the exploited colony of America. England is striving to colonize the European continent for itself. The interests of American and British imperialism are here in con- flict. “The antagonism between America and England is becoming more and more acute.

FRENCH REACTIONARY CIRCLES IN RAGE OVER COMMUNIST TACTICS PARIS, France, Nov. 20,—The re- actionary political militarist circles areina rage at the adroit move of the Communists who have won a con- siderable following among the pri- vate soldiers of the Frenoh army by their bill, introduced in the chamber of deputies for an increase of pay for conscripted private sol- diers from 45 centimes to one franc per day. Altho the Communists oppose ap- propriations for the war department in every other instance and oppose every aid to any other army but the red army, this specific bill to put more money in the pocket of pri- vate conscript soldiers at the ex- pense of the taxpayers is artfully designed to put the capitalist ma- jority in the chamber in dutch with the soldiers by refusing this raise, or win the soldiers to the Commun- ist cause by granting it.

S. Congress (By The Federated Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.— Digging in for a long siege of congress and American opinion on the issue of the right of the pape to independence, the Philippine press bureau inWash- ington has issued a booklet set- ting forth their arguments in es detail, both on moral and istorical rounds and = on grounds of their own fitness and efficiency. To prove that they desire in- dependence, the Filipinos pre- sent a long list of revolts they have attempted or carried out, beginning with the first struggle against conquest by Magellan in 1521 and ending with the re- volution which began in 1896 under Bonifacio and Aguinaldo. It was this latter. struggle that led to the freeing of virtually the whole archipelago except Manila from Spa- nish rule, and the setting ups of the Philippine republic—the first set up in the Far East based upon constitution- al government. This republic was over- thrown by the armies of the United States after a war that lasted three years. Of the peaceful agitation since the American conquest, the outline says, at this point: Feared “Disloyalty” “1900—To talk of independence at this time was considered as an act of disloyalty to the United States, When the civil government was established in 1901 the Philippine commission pas- sed an act virtually prohibiting any agitation for independence, Under the circumstances the movement had to go on in an unorganized manner. Request after request was made to the then civil’ governor, William H. Taft, for permission to organize an independ- ence party, but continual refusal was the reply. “Finally in 1902. Taft declared he would agree to the formation of such a party if the word independence was eliminated from the platform. This was not agreable to the proponents and In Great t Writs of prohibition were denied offi- cers of thé International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers by the Missouri supreme court this week. The action by the international was an ougtrowth of a controversy with Local 18, St.. Louis. The local obtained an injunction re- straining the parent body from revok- ing its charter.

The long hours, low wages, speedup system and un- sanitary conditions in factory and home, which are imposed upon the workers by the capitalists, are continually breaking down the physical well being of the working masses. 2. The exploitation of children between the ages of 3 and 14 is the greatest menace to the physical condition of the working class. 3. Capitalist sports and athletics are designed mainly to distract the minds of the workers from their interests. SLOGANS. Strong militant unions, political action under the leader- ship of the Workers (Communist) Party will enable you to secure better conditions for the physical upbuilding of your class. / Build up a working class sport and athletic movement under the leadership of the Workers’ Sport Alliance, the American Section of the Red Sport International. HUGHES NUCLEUS IN BANKER BUND FIGHTS RUSSIA Broadcast New Warning on Soviet Trade NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—An investi- gation of a warning against trade with Russia published in New York newspapers in the name of the Am- erican Bankers’ Association shows shady, crude garbling of documents, in line with the brassiest brass check practise. The warning is sent out by the publicity machinery, of the bankers’ association as part of a report by the commerce and marine commission of the association and asserts that eco- nomic conditions in Russia are get- ting worse and that the Russian gov- ernment is an enemy of religion. It predicts wholesale executions and turmoil and warns that anyone doing business with Russia is running a great risk. Original Garbled. Comparison of the publicity with the document from which it is sup posed to be quoted shows that the original was grossly garbled. Qauli- fying sentences were deleted and clauses from one sentence were brot forward into another, changing the meaning.

J. Tigert, fedétal commissioner of education, declares that his partiality for the Ameticin Legion is due to the fact that legion started an educational. week agitation of its own, and he saw fit to combine this with the earlier instt- tution of education week established by the National Education Association. Any labor union, he declares, could equally co-operate in the movement, As for his warnings against radi- cals and pacifists, Tigert takes refuge in the folds of patriotism, and in the assumption that the radicals and pacl- fists are enemies of the constitution. Tigert injects Himself, “It has been the policy of the bn- reau of. education to remain ontside of politics,” he declares. “The cott- missioner occupies a professional of- fice which is non-partisan and nop- political. If the constitution of the United States is brought into’ poli- tics then the commissioner and every other federal officer is perforce nee- essarily injected into politics. I have taken an oath to uphold the consti- tution of the United States. I am go ing to carry out my oath.” Tigert, The Fumigator. Omitting to mention when, how afd by whom the constitution was brought into politics, and why this fact his injected all federal officers into poll- tics, despite federal law ri a their positions, and also how far Ti- gert considers himself injected into politics as an anti-radical warrior, he hints that the schools are to be puri- fled. “Every kind of propaganda and ¥ has been injected into the pu schools,” he says. “Is it possible that nyone would contend that the téeach- ing of patriotism or Americatism in the public schools is intolerant?” This in referance to his “Stamp out revolutionary radicalism” slogans.

The tremendous success of the last showing and the hundreds of people who were turned away after the hal! was packed to capacity were the two reasons that the party decided to show the picture again. The Tyrian Hall, located at Broad and Oxford streets, has been chosen for the next showing. The hall only seats 600 people but it is the largest available for that date, and the sale of tickets already predicts another huge success.
