China and Morocco—One Front The capitalist press correspondents have been irritating us with their references to the. “loyal” tribesmen supporting the French troops in Morocco, but revenge is sweet. and we learn from the same sources that these tribesmen are no longer “loyal” to French im- perialism. They have joined hands with the national liberation forces of Abd-el-Krim and the French government has a new problem on its hands. That this display of solidarity has had serious consequences for the French forces and greatly strengthened the Riffians can be gleaned even from the censored dispatches. Editors Business Manager > 290 The Riffians have been advancing steadily for the last three days and reports of French victories have ceased. The extent of the collapse of the French offensive is shown by the fact that every French general of any standing has refused to take the actual command of the French forces under Marshal Lyau- tey. The whole world has witnessed the spectacle ofthe French min- istry of war being forced to select for the Moroccan post a division commander of troops in the French army of occupation in Germany ~—a man no one except the soldiers under him ever heard of. Frantic appeals for reinforcements are coming from the Spanish forces in the Tangier zone where they have just lost.a battle which the capitalist press ingeniously describes as “failure to carry out a policing operation.” The Franco-Turkish alliance has gone to pot. The Turks are supporting the Riffians openly and the friendliness of Soviet Russia for the colonial peoples has won her added influence with France’s former ally. In France proper the Moroccan adventure and the unsteady position of the franc is driving the. government towards a serious crisis while the agitation of the Communists against the Moroccan war is receiving approval from wide, masses of the population. The French defeat in the east and the Spanish defeat in the Tangier zone will undoubtedly force Great Britain into the Moroc- can mess. -British imperialism will fight before it will tolerate any force at Tangier, across from Gibraltar, that. threatens her control! of the western gateway to the Mediterranean and her intervention in this zone will intensify the conflict for control of an area that almost resulted in war in 1912. Nor can Great Britain war on the Mohammedan tribesmen of Morocco without raising a storm among her millions of Moham- medans in India. We see in the Moroccan conflict. how, in this period, imperialist aggresions involve far more important, considerations than the ter- ritories and people affected directly. China and northern Africa, combining rich fields of imperialist enterprise with control of strategic routes, have been linked in a eommon front France and England. Turkey has been drawn in and when British military necessity forces her openly into a conflict, the chain made by the three great colonial regions will be completed. India will begin to show the same manifestations of hostility to con- tinued slavery that show themselves so powerfully in Morocco and China. The day is past when the capitalist. press correspondents can safely go into ecstacies over the “loyalty” of colonial peoples to their oppressors. . The colonial peoples want land. and freedom and they have found out that imperialism must be destroyed before they can have these two necessities, British Imperialism Backs Down. Speaking for the British foreign office, Austen Chamberlain has announced, in reply to a barrage of questions in the house of commons, that the government has no intention of breaking off rela- tions with Soviet Russia. , The announcement is one of the finest examples of the power of mass pressure recently seen. The British imperialist press has been baiting Soviet Russia and the Communist International for weeks. It has accused the Soviet government of fomenting the libera- tion movement in China, of organizing revolution in India, of in- citing the rebellion of the Riffs in Morocco.. Every one of. the crises in intrenational affairs has been laid at the door of Soyiet Russia, but the British masses have remained cold to this propaganda, or more accurately it has the opposite effect intended—that of arousing them to a sense of the menace of such a move to their interests and spurred them to loud and continuous, protest. The tory government, elected with. the largest majority received in two decades by any-government, has had to back down after For- eign Minister Austen Chamberlain had made a tour of European -eapitals attempting to organize an anti-Soviet Russian front. The: London dispatches: te a. number of capitalist papers state . frankly that the tory government dare not break off Russian rela- tions for fear of bringing down on its head a storm of working class wrath. Miners, textile operatives, railwaymen and other well-organ- ized and’powerful groups of workers are demanding wage increases; the alliance between the Russian trade unions and those of Great Britain thru the Anglo-Russian Committee for World Trade Union Unity is evidence that the whole’ British labor movement has swung denitely to the left; mass unemployment, the demands of the cap- italists for reduction in wages, the crisis in the coal, metal and ship- ping industries, the belief that Britain will be drawn into the Moroe- can conflict and the popular opposition to'this, all make the position of British imperialism extremely delicate. The die-hards in the British cabinet led by Lord Birkenhead, who have been clamoring for action against Soviet Russia, have had to pull in their horns and the whole world hag been given a chance to see that even British imperialism, the most powerful in Europe, when, it wars on the workers and peasants’ of Russia, must be pre- pared to fight on two fronts—abroad and a€'Héme. This it }s not able .to do... The, British workers have chosen. to stay with their class instead of the empire and another glorious chapter has been written in the history of the world revolution! DARWINISM ON T geois states when they study the] bouregoisie.. The difference is only| forgotten that it, the Bible, ‘includés 'N the camp of the American bour- geoisie a struggle is raging around the Darwinian theory of evolution. In the ‘bourgeois newspapers of all shades of opinion a discussion is go- ing on concerning the origin of ani- mals and man, concerning the origin of earth, of god, of religion, of the Bible and the New Testament. Learn- ed professors, clergymen and bishops, cartoonists and journalists, reporters, interviewers and foreign correspond- ents, even statesmen, finally even judges, are mobilized for this discus- sion, Even the old man Darwin, himself, is not left in peace. Lord Northcliffe who has died a few years ago and who was during his life the king*of the English ‘bourgeois press (this main instfument ‘for misleading and de- ceiving the masses)—has sought out, as reported by the Chicago Daily Tribune,’ in the other world, Darwin and upon’ instruction of the latter has communicated with the outer world that after“a‘few discussions in heaven on ‘the theory of evolution, Darwin convinced himself that (the ape is the anti-thesis’ of man) “the evolu- tion theory’ is wrong.” Apparently Darwin, as well as Nortcliffe, con- tinue to” occupy themselves in the other world with the same affairs as they dfd ‘upon earth. The first one, with the theory of evolution, the sec- ond with newspaper reporting. The bourgeoisie has become divided into two parts: the evolutionists and the anti-evolutionists, both sides gath- ering their forces for the struggle. Na- tional leagues are being formed of the evolutionists and the anti-evolution- ists. Meeting and lectures are being arranged. Strategic positions in the press are being conquered. In one word, the struggle is assuming an imposing character. and the general battle is. forthcoming in an American court between the evolutionists and the anti-evolutionists, In other words, | this “theoretical” struggle is clearly | assuming. the character of a political | struggle between two sections of the/| bourgeoisie and it becomes sharper with every day. \HE working class cannot remain an idle onlooker of this struggle that is going on in the camp of its class enemy, for 4 number of reasons, First of all, because the split in the camp of the erémy ‘is weakening the strength of the latter and is increas- ing the lattef’s*ehances in the strug- gle for its class interests. It is neces- sary to study the enemy and his forces. ‘necessary to know his strong and weak side.

THE DAhEW: WORKER forces of their possible military enemies. It would be very important, for example, to determine what part of our bourgeoisie exactly stands for Darwinism and what part’ against, and also to clarity whether this struggle which has flared up “unexpectedly” is not a manifestation of the former divisions within the bourgeoisie, whether this struggle does not merely represent a new form of the old strug- gle “for a third party,” a new rising of the LaFollette petty bourgeoisie or of its ideologistss against the old parties, or a new.offensive of the lat- ter against the LaFollette ‘farmer-la- bor masses, and also against the Com- munist farmer-labor masses. Indeed, Darwinism is a part of the Communist conception ofthe universe, That what Marx hasyaccomplished in relation to the human society, Darwin j has accomplished im relation to. the animal world. Marz;‘has discovered the laws of the human. society, Dar- win has discovered the laws of evolu- tion of the animals and. plants. The revolutionary signicance. of Marxism and Darwinism is enormous. Darwin has overturned god and the “eternal laws” (religion) which he estbalished. Marx has overturned the eternal laws of the capitalist system established by the bourgeois scientists and their doctrine of the “eternity” of capital- ism and proved that capitalism is developing an eleniental power to- wards Communism, RECISELY because of the revolu- tionary character of Marxism and Darwinism, the overwhelming majori- ty of the bourgeois scientists is con- ducting a stubborn struggle against both tendencies, for when the broad masses of workers and farmers will free themselves from the power of religion and will understand that cap- italism is not eternal and that Com- munism is coming to take its place— nothing, no power will be able to stave off the socialist revolution. And the best proof of that is Soviet Rus- sia in whose schools Marxism and Darwinism are compulsory ‘subjects and out of which religion is banished. 7 struggle against Darwinism (and Marxism) which is flaring up in our country is nothing new. It has been dragging on thru decades upon the old continent.

And the farmers are proud of it. They point out what can be done thru co-opérative effort. The Temple and the Producers News are two moniments to the initiative and loyalty of the workers and farmers of Plentywood. os TPHE farmers of Sheridan county are as well off as those in any other part of Montana,»but their present condition is not ome to be envied. Bankers have not as easy a time fore- closing mortgages.as they used to, be- fore Sheriff Saleshurg was elected. This story is typicaljy A banker from a neighboring county came along with a little army to take away grain and everything else from a farmer. on whose land he had mortgage. The farmer refused to let the banker and his men take his grain away. The banker called up the sheriff and de- manded his presence and assistance. The sheriff got there, tho he took his time about it. oe Y ee banker stretched out his hand and said, “Pleased to meet you; now We can go ahead with work.” ‘The sheriff was meticulous about law enforcement ard would not budge un- til he was satisfied that everything was according to le, “Wait a min- ute,” he said to banker. “Is the farmer agreeable’ tothe removal of in that in-this country only the very crudest and most primitive methods are being applied. One must not over-rate the import- ance of this struggle and expect that it can lead to the separation of the revolutionary “Darwinist” (and “Marx- ist”) wing from the camp of the bour- geoisie. Amongst the bourgeois and petty bourgeois partisans of Darwin- ism there will be found only a very insignificant number of thoroly con- sequental Darwinists, capable of as- similating the atheistic and anti, religious deductions which flow out, of Darwinism. The overwhelming majority of the bourgeois and petty bourgeois Darwinists do not wish to split with the dear old god. They would wish only to “rejuvenate” him, and to make him more modern, A typical sample of such petty bourgeois, semi-Darwinists, semi-believers,’®/ is Prof. Chamberlain, an interview with whom was given by the Chicago Daily. Tribune. Let us listen for while to this respectable scientists. Ai He begins his interview with a statement that “He does not dispense with god. On the contrary, he sees science coming to accept the idea of god thru all nature.” But the old Jewish god (the special patron of the Jews) does not appeal to the profes- sor. For oar times he is: antiquated, “The enormous enlargement in the reach of things,” states the profes- sor, “must be accompanied by an en- largement of the idea of god.“ In what then consists this “enlargement of the idea of god,” in the opinion of the Yespectable scientist? In the follow- ing: “We had a monarchial god. Now let us look at the republican god.” (The respectable professor wishes to see that at the present time a bour- geois god is needed.) Prove then, if you wish, after such a statement of a believing, bourgeois scientist to affirm that these people are wrong who’ say that the man has created for himself a god in his own image. After all this there is “towonder. that Prof. Chamberlain does ‘not! wish to break not only with god “bift also. with his representatives upion- earth, “We have no right,” so he states, “to throw stones at the theologians nor. they at us.” But the opponents of Darwinism do not agree even to the considerable concessions which are made by: Prof. Chamberlain. “The Bible ‘and the old god must remain unchanged and un- shaken,” recently declared ‘ome of our statesmen. (We shall. addjon: our part, that this is not a carefuk.state- ment: Mr, Statesman apparently doesn’t know well the Bible which he takes upon himself to and has sheriff. Then to the banker, ‘Let me see your papers, Huh! Who.have you got on your bond? Anyfarmers?” “Farmers, hell!” ejaculated) the: bank- er, “they would not sign: a bond like this. Besides they havén’t got any money. This bond is signed :by the bank’s treasurer and myself. We jhave the dough.” The sheriff threw! up his hands in disgust and bawled»out the banker for showing such brazen con- tempt for the law. “What:am I to do?” asked the farmer. ‘ “Keep your grain,” replied the sheriff as°he:step- ped on the gas. The banker ‘also ‘stepped on the gas. The farmer scratched his whiskers and-muttered: “Gold darned fine sheriff.” oo 27 @ - HE county attorney read ‘the dec- cated as I expected,” declared the July 4th mass meeting. Had he read it during the war and emphasized certain sections he did last Sat- urday, he would not be the county attorney but the county prisoner. By the way, he tells me that the courts in the surrounding counties, makes common cause with bandits, burglars, bankers and other criminals against the sheriff and county attorney of Sheridan county. Plehtywood is a nice place to visit. Radicals looking for a summer resort could do.worse than pay it a visit.

In order'to Clarify thoroly the political position’ of ‘Prof. Chamberlain, it is necessary to make the following quotations from his in- terview and thereby one must remem- ber that this venerable geologist has studied the history of earth for five million years: i “The old doctrine of geology was that we were on the verge of freezing up, but now we find, under the natur- al working of things, the system will Zun on, Man will have a chance to show what is in him. Some will go to the bad and try to carry the rest of the world with them, as‘ the Soviets. Others. will try to do better.” connection between atheism, Dar- .winism, ‘Marxism and the. proletarian revolution, on the one hand and be- tween. religion, anti-Darwinism, anti- Marxism and bourgeois counter-revo- “tation, on the other has been shown by Prof. Chamberlain with a remark- able clarity. A cowardly Darwinist -has given out the secret of all the modern offensive against Darwinism and has thrown open the political secret of all this savage campaign. This campaign is being aimed directly against that spirit of criticism which is ‘awakening in the American prole- tarian revolution in our country is im- possible. Our proletariat begins to throw off, under the influence of the revolution- ary events of the last decade, many of its old traditional viewpoints, it begins to criticize the existing social system. (And yet Marx said that every criticism begins with the criticism of religion.) This, is the greatest danger threatening our bourgeoisie. Hence this fury which we observe during the last weeks in the struggle against the theory of evolution. This struggle represents a new way of re- action, aimed at the beginning of revolutionary rising of the proletariat. The rejuvenated “republican god” is needed by Prof. Chamberlain for the struggle against Soviet Russia, and against the revolutionary movements of our proletariat. The discussion be- tween Prof. Chamberlain and the anti- evolutionist is essentially a discussion as to what are the best measures for the suppression of the proletariat’ revolution. Prof. Chamberlain is for a “republican” god, because the spirit | of democracy inherent in such a god, will be a better means against the revolutionists than the “spirit: of re- action” defended by the anti-evolu- tionists and which is inherent to the} old “Jewish god.” Precisely in this question lies the political center of gravity of the entire dispute between THREE MINERS — KILLED THRU. FIRM'S FAULT No Manholes Made ‘to Escape Runaway Cars By AUGUST VALENTINE: (Worker Correspondent) NANTICOKH, Pa., July 9.— Just as the employes. of the Mineral Spring Collery No. 5 of the Lehigh aViley Coal company at Parsons, were about to go to work at their various places, theye were struck by runaway cars. Three miners were instantly killed and two others were seriously injur- ed.

Precise- ly in that question lies the essence of all the struggle between the demo- cratic pacifists and the reactionary wings of the bourgeoisie. From the experience of all revolutions we know well that when arguments on this question arise within the ruling class, be it even in a very veiled form (as we are observing now in our country), this. is the surest sign that the under- ground forces of revolution begin to work. * Our proletariat has always suffered ftom an extreme theoretical backward- ness, in. comparison with the e tariat. of the European countries and particularly with the Russian prole- *tariat. Now the very march of events is) drawing our workers into the Sphere of theoretical questions. HEORY -is\concentrated practice. 4AThe theory of the proletariat (Marxism, Leninism, Darwinism) ‘is concentrated practice of the prole- tarian struggle of aH countries, the science of proletarian struggle, with- out which the arch of the proletarian struggle is impossible and now, when the very march of events has tied up the theoretical (scientific) questions with the practical (political) and had made the study of theory a practical necessity the further indifference to the theoretical questions becomes an intolerable crime. Our party, as a whole, and every member of our party individually, must place in the centér of their at- tention, theoretical questions, must put broadly the study of theory. Otherwise it will be too late. But before the party stands also another immediate practical political task. Shortly there is forthcoming a shame- ful trial over a Darwinsit because he has preached his viewpoint. Such a trial is the greatest menace to the freedom of speech in our country. ‘Today a Darwinist is tried for his views, tomorrow they will try Com- munists, anarchists, “LaFolletteists” and everyone who is not in agree- ment with the mediaval viewpoints imported from England and officially acknowledged and permitted by the bak ape courts. All who are against js unheard-of scandalous trial which différs very little from the mediayvél ipepisiticaal trials of the witeltes , must protest with all against such monsterous mockery: of the freedom of speech. \ ‘Our party must organize this pro- test.
