Friday, December 12, 1924 THE DAILY WORKER Page Five NEW YORK LABOR HITS DAWES PLAN AND TERROR RULE Denounce Brutal Mur- ders by Esthonian Terror (Special to The Daily Warker) NEW YORK CITY.—(By mail.)— Despite the severe rain, several hun- dred workers gathered at the Labor Temple in response to the appeal of the International Workers’ Aid and Workers Party to protest against the white terror in Germany and Bsthonia, The meeting adopted a resolution denouncing the brutal murder of the Esthonian comrades and the violent persecutions of revolutionary workers in Germany. It called for the freedom of the 400,000 workers in the capital- {st dungeons thruout Burope and Asia. The resolution further declared that the violence being now employed by the imperialists of these countries is evidence of the fact that the work- ers are resisting the attempt to en- slave them thru the Dawes plan and other means. The meeting went on record in favor of supporting the In- ternational Workers’ Aid in its cam- paign for raising funds on behalf of the imprisoned workers, The speakers of the meeting were Israel Amter, who told of the im- prisonment of workers in Europe and of the steps the workers were taking in their behalf; Ludwig Lore, who discussed the Dawes plan and its ef- fect upon the working class of Ger- many, and Ben Gitlow who spoke of American capitalist class and the House of Morgan as the center of revolution thruout the world. William. W. Weinstone, secretary of the Inter- national Workers’ Aid, acted as the chairman. A collection was taken on behalf of the political prisoners. Drain Eyes World Court. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The Ameri- ean Legion committed itself by the words of its national commander, James A. Drain, in favor of the uni: versal draft bill to come~ before con- gress soon and for “some sort of @ world court.” Drain explained that the draft bill would make all ei obliged to serve the government by fighting, working or financing.

Cs, In the very portals where Carnegie established his notorious sWam, “The Peace Palace,” at the Hague, Holland, an unpractical pacifist and an ambi- tious propaganda spreading militarist held a debate on the subject, “Shall the Netherlands disarm?” This debate attracted much atten- tion, and it was attended by peoples from all classes. The hall was cramed to capacity and a large crowd was In spite of the fact that both speakers were leaders of bourgeois parties, a great part of the audience thought it would be fitting to the occasion to sing the social-pacifist song “Down with the weapons.” This, of course, tended to aggravate the speakers because it Gave indication of the rising tide of resentment, not only against war, but the eléments that promote it. Present Waffare Spares None. Professor Van Emden, the pacifist, pictured the terrible slaughtering in the next war, and how, today, in time of war, when entire populations in big cities are working on the necessities of war, to make it successful, the ene- my will recognize no non-combatants, and will endeavor to destroy them, and might make their own (the bour- seois) wives and children the innocent ‘ictims of air raiders. Thus bringing he horrors of war right on their front floorsteps. This is where the shoe pinched. As long as they could draft cannon fod- der out of the working class, and let them’ do the sacrificing while their own kinsmen were safe at home they were satisfied, but now a new condi: tion presents itself. Yes, to die for one’s country is glorious, but now they realize that in the war of the fu- ture their own flesh and blood might decorate the gutter in the street. “War” For Whom? It is remarkable how a man like Professor Van Emden can talk for hours about war and against it, or rather the terror of war, without com- ing to the point. True it is, as Professor Van Emden stated, there is no spéck of sense for a small country to have an artiy; even for defense. They will be kept neu- tral to buy food from or be used to, protect their (the warring nation’s) undary+with ort itis strategic "| position, the country will be overrun. He pictured the coming chemical war with its poisonous gases, where in the big cities, ‘everywhere from” baby to grandmother will “wear’a gas mask, and told about the horror that would result from bacterium planting, lay- ing waste to. all vegetation infected.

SMALL NATIONS | Imagine two opposite air raiding parties sent out on the same day, re turning home after a successful raid, to find their own city wiped off the earth. Of course, the general did not agree to’ this. He thinks chemical war is not so inhuman as pictured. Holland only needs 15,000,000 florins to be protected from air raids (the general must have been reading Bris- bane’s editorials.) They Have Poor Memories. General Snyders thought it was very naughty and nasty to make a joke of the army and to speculate on the cowardice of a people. He said, “When the big neighbor states know that neutral Holland is prepared they will think twice before attacking it.” (He was mum about the experience of Belgium.) : After both parties had spoken the pacifist audience was ready to go on the war path, and were shooting with cat calls. After the singing of the International, and “Down ‘with weapons,” they went home, Of course, they could not blame Pro- fessor Van “Emden, “a progressive” for bringing reds there. He probably didn’t like it himself. This meeting was another step to- wards the grave of a parasitic class that still lives on the glory of ‘Hol: land’s golden age, the 17th century. | Your Union Meeting SECOND FRIDAY, DEC. 12, 1924 Name of Local and No. Place of Meeting, Bakers and Confectioners, ‘3420 W.

WATT. (Special to The Daily Worker) WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 11, — Sevéral articles published in the Washington Post, and syndicated thru- out the country, have aroused the ire of ihe Philippine people. At a meet- ing held tonight by the league of in- dustrial democracy, Vicente Bunuan, press representative of the Philippine government, in this country, spoke in refutation’ of the published state- ments. Bunuan, who is a good speaker, put | his audience in gocd humor, by pre- ceding his address with the remark that Laurence Todd, who acted as vhairman, had just informed him that the members of the organization he was about to address are “intellectual liberals.” The speaker called atten- tion to the fact that the writer of the articles in question had found nothing in th isldnds favorable to the Fili- Aino pecple: not a single instance of human feeling or decency. U. S. Degeneracy. The unfairness of this attitude was obvious, Bunuan explained that if he wished to be unfair to America he hight ‘take isolated instances of de- geneéracy in this country and go back to the Philippines and base slander- He spoke at a Thanksgivi the bootblacks of all sovereig Chicago turns live pigs into lit in both instances the workers The beginning is made by m policy in the campaign to Editor’s Note.—Every day until publication has been completed, the DAILY ‘WORKER will publish a new chapter from the book, “Len in: The Great Strategist of the Class War,” by A. Losovsky, secre- tary of the Red International of Labor Unions. The twenty-second chapter is entitled, “Lignin and the Trade Unions.” i. ** : HE trade union Ladi also is very much. indebted to Lenin.

It'was an: easy matter for the speak- | er to refute the charges contained in | the offending articles. Facts and figures give the lie to the whole ‘thas’ of vituperation and the Speaker confined himself to’ such tacts and figures. The articles are obvious- | ly propaganda in’ the interest of those ‘| interests which, are fighting against independence for the Philippine peo- ple. Instead of the “decay and deteri- oration” found by Katherine Mayo, the ‘speaker showed that remarkable progress has been made in the islands, especially during the time in which they°were granted some degree of lo- calautonomy by the Wilson adminis. Bunuan Non-Commital. At the conclusion of Bunuan’s talk thé audience ‘to @raw from him his publication of the newspaper stories. He was asked if he thought that the author “was employed by the sugar aust to’ do its dirty work. Bunuan would not commit himself specifically but said that he had a suspicion as od.” He’sttited’ that the articles are of thagazine style and that there is noth- ing new in them. Such articles are usually printed on the “home” page of newspapers, but in this instance they cover nearly the entire first page. He stated that the author has been back in this country for three months but the articles did not appear until the first week of congre: Must Be More Militant. It seems to the writer that the Fili- pinos might make more progress in their fight for liberty it they should adopt @ more militant attitude toward their oppressors.

He always insisted upon the necessity of taking" part in these mass organiza- tions, irtespéctive of the nature of their leadership, In his book “The In- fantile Sickness of Communism,” in the chapter entitled, “Shall revolution- aries Participate.in Reactionary Trade Unions?" he criticizes very energetic. ally those Communist elements which at the first. onslaught of the reaction- ary, bureaucracy become pessimistic and throw out the slogan of: “Out of the, trade unions, an immediate spli Such tactics he designates as: “Un- pardonable stupidity» which is equiv- alent to offering the greatest service to the bourgeoisie.” He says: “We must work wherever the masses aré, criticize mercilessly thé labor aris- tocracy which is dominated by reform- ism, narrow craft egotism, and the ideas of bourgeois imperialism.” Lenin would emphasize time and again that without the trade unions the Soviet government could not have maintain- ed itself in power for more than two weeks, The trade unions are the con- necting link between the masses and the proletarian vanguard. It is only Surely the Filipinos are dissatisfied with administration of their affairs by American exploiters; otherwise they would not be asking for independence. Still Bunuan, this evening, told his audience that he has confidence in the fairness and justice of American, christian, civilization. This humble, servile attitude seems to prevail amongst all of the educated Filipinos _now in this country and gives rise to the impression that there are several “kept” newspapers in the islands, and that’ these publications are “educating” the populace into paths of humility, much as is done in this country. Perhaps if a little mass action in the shape of general strikes and other demonstrations were in- dulged in, more might be accomplish- ed than by the eternal passing of reso- lutions.
