F. of L. and American Imperialism The delegates to the American Federation of Labor convention in Atlantic City, consisting for the most part of officials of the af- filiated unions, and true to their character as the agents of imperial- ist in the labor movement are, even before the convention begins its sessions, reacting to the lead given by the state department in the ex- clusion of Saklatvala, Communist member of the British house of commons. The departmental meetings held previous to the convention itself, such as those of the building and metal trades, have engaged in an orgy of red baiting. Working always on precedent in the best lawyer fashion, the departmental meetings have used the unseating of Wil- liam F. Dunne by the Portland convention as a basis for war on every sign of progress in the unions and have upheld the expulsions of militants that have disgraced the labor movement in the past year. American trade unionism is now at the lowest moral ebb ever reached ndt even excepting the belly-crawling war time period. American imperialism is extending its domination over the earth and its peoples. It is the slave master in a dozen different nations. It is preparing a new world war—a war on the workers’ and peasants’ government of Russia while the American labor movement stands alone as the only organization of trade unions opposed to the recog- nition of the first proletarian state. War on the Communists by the officialdom of the American Fed- eration of Labor is war on the only section of the American working class that is fully conscious of the dangerous path American labor is treading and which fights against a forms of treason to the work- ing class expressed in compromise with and submission to the cap- italists such as company unions, “labor” banking, participation in the capitalist parties by the labor movement, ete. The war on the Communists in Atlantic City is the best guage of the imperialist character of the American labor officialdom. China Gets a Trojan Horse The powers, so dispatches state, have sent a note to the Pekin government declaring their profound desire to “settle the Shanghai incident,” the massacre of unarmed workers and students, which began May 30 and continued for some weeks with British, American and Japanese troops butchering Chinese like so many chickens. The imperialist powers give an appearance, at last, of having realized that the nationalist revolutionary movement cannot be met in the way old disturbances were settled, with cold lead and sharp steel and an arrogant domination of “superior” races: But that does not mean that imperialism has surrendered and is going to quit China. By no means. Imperialism merely lays aside the weapons of armed struggle for a moment to try the weapon of diplomatic deceit and “superior” cunning. Just as the imperialist powers have been striving in the west to unite the nations of western Europe against the Soviet Union, using all sorts of favors and threats alike against Germany and other recaleitrants who hold out, as may be seen in the proposed “secur- ity pact,” so in China the imperialist powers have a policy of pre- tended consideration for the political independence of China, to try to break the bond existing and increasing between the Chinese workers and peasants and those of Soviet Russia. But the trap, whether it works or not, will easily be seen for what it is when we look at the way that the imperialist powers dip- lomatize. Going formally to Peking ucering sweet words about friendship and a desire to “grant permission” some far distant day that China may be free of, their “beneficient” domination, at the same time they are arming “C hang Tso-lin and a host of mercenary generals to make war upon the Kuomintang government of Canton, ihe center of revolutionary nationalism, and to oppose with civil war if need be any further rapprochment of China and the Soviet Union. Imperialism goes to Pekin with a lie on its lips, an olive branch in one hand and a ger in the other. It would be well for Chinese to recall the old saying about suspicion attaching to enemies who come bearing gifts. Doctor Berger Ventures a Diagnosis Victor Berger, returning home from Europe, makes the remark- able discovery that “all Europe is sick’? We hestitate to say that this is so solely because Vie has been there and because Europe has inits social intestines th 21 mass known as the Second Interna- tignal—altho this last condition has something to recommend it to one’s diagnosis of Europe’s illness. Also, we think that Vie missed something. He didin’t visit Soviet Russia, tho doubtless there would have been much to engage his. time and interest there. So when he says “all” Europe is ail- ing, we remind him that he did not get out of the safe guardianship of the capitalist gendarmerie nor risk bearding the Bolsheviks in their den, and should leave out Soviet Russia from his reckoning; first, because he wasn’t there; second, because Soviet Russia is the only “healthy” section of Europe. But if “Doe Berger” wants to gp into feeling pulses and taking temperatures, we would recommende him to do a litle diagnostic work at home. We ask you, Doe, what sort of purgatives, surgery or physio-therapy you prescribe for the illness of American economy —which seems to have escaped your observation? There are figures to show that the average wage of American workers is around $25 a week, or $1,250 a year on a very high estimate, while the lowest estimate for « so-called “living wage” put out. by bourgeois econo- mists is about $1,875. We were going to ask you, Doc, what sort of surgical operation you recommend, but on second thot we recall that you don’t believe in surgery, preferring homeopathy and christian “science” along with Ramsay MacDonald’s “crawling, sniveling gradualism’—which ig, a way, we observe, of “progressing” so. slowly that the proletariat goes running by you on the road to revolution with no more honor left your kind than gazing at its coattails and protesting at the violation of, the speed laws. x - The Riffians have been “crushed” every any for. the last three ialism “it-serve workers. ~* (Continued from page 1). is a dagger thrust in heart of the British empire. Our American imperialism is close- ly tied up with the world situation and sees in the fight against capital- ist imperialism a fight against itself. The billions of American capitalism are at stake in every struggle against imperialism the world over, because American capitalism is spreading its investments over the entire world. The Soviet Union is not only the rallying point of all oppressed and exploited peoples, but it stands as a constant inspiration for struggle and revolt for, the workers of every capi- talist country. The workers and peas- ants of Russia are triumphing in their struggle for economic reconstructions and as they improve their standard of life and build their Communist so- cial order, they are creating an ex- ample which the workers of every capitalist country will follow. There, are many signs pointing to the fact that, the imperialist capital- ist. powers are preparing for a new on- slaught on the Soviet Union, in or- der to end the threat to capitalism which it represents. The negotiations with Germany for a security pact be- tween Great Britain, France and Ger- many represent an alliance to fight the Soviet Union. The debt negotia- tions of.our Washington government are an effort to clear the ground for united action against the Soviet Union. The arrogant exclusion of Saklat- vala from the United States, coupled with a threat-of new persecution of the Communists, is a sign of coming fight against the Soviet Union as the heart of the world wide Communist movement, This new fight to destroy the Soviet Union which is in preparation repre- sents a great danger for the workers’ and peasants’ governmegt. While the capitalist onslaught will be a great danger it also represents a great ‘op- portunity. The Soviet Union has, the sympathy and support of tens of mil- lions of workers who are not yet Com- munist. The attack upon the Soviet Union makes possible the rallying of these workers for a fight against the capitalists, That is the immediate task before our party. .We must initiate an im- mediate campaign to warn the work- ers of the preparation against the Sov- iet Union. We must rally the work- ers for a struggle in defense of the Soviet Union. .We must take our stand beside the Communist Parties all over the world which have al- ready begun the fight to arouse the workers for defense of the Soviet Union. Our party must make this fight to rally the workers for defense of the Soviet Union its major task. Every party member must be mobilized for the City Violence Against Labor Campaign Issue (Continued from page 1) Party stands for a workers’ govern- ment. The republican and democratic parties have always given us a boss- es’ government, To separate the work- ers from the-bosses, to unite them in a single labor party for the winning of control of the powers of govern- ment—this is the immediate aim of the Workers Party. “To this.end we proposed to the socialist party.and other labor organ- izations that a joint convention of all workers’, organizations be called to nominate a single united labor ticket. The socialist party rejected the pro- posal, thus making itgelf responsible for the continued division of the workers. “In this connection it is interest- ing to compare the program of the Workers Party and the socialist party on the question of the courts and the police. The program of my party calls for the, abolition of the use of injunctions in labor’ disputes, no in- terference with or limitation of the cight. of striking or picketing on the part of the city government, no use of the police against the workers in labor struggles, and the repeal of the criminal syndicalist law and the release of all workers imprisoned be- cause of their activity on behalf of the working class. “The socialist party, on the othgr hand, actually calls for ‘the maintgn- ance.of an adequate police force.’ In view of the fact that the city police are used, by the bosses against the workers, ‘an adequate police force’ un- der capitalism can only mean a force adequate to break all strikes and break up all picketing lines no mat- ter how many there may happen to be at the given time. The socialist party omits,entirely the fundamental ques- tion ag to who controls this police force and against whom it is used. What we propose is in reality a work- ers’. police, that is to say, a police force organized by and under the control of a workers’ government for use in the defense of the workers and against the bosses. The socialist party is so far away from the work- ing class point of view that it for- gets all together the role of govern- ment. The municipal government like the national government, must serve either the workers or the bosses. Un- der capitalism and with the adminis- tration of capitalist parties, it serves the bosses against the workers, Only under a workers’ government would Thus, the demand for a labor party capable of rallying all the workers in a united fight for a workers’ government is the central demand in the platform of the Work- i ers poy, in this etl ky : ih Penne: 4 | KR THE DAIWY WORKER the campaign.

AEA APOE AEeSee er a Polish Socialists Help Capitalists (Continued frontpage 1) unions do not let a single “opportunity slip by, to shatter the remnants of in- fluence which the Polish socialist party still holds over, working masses. Recently this party of black- legs suffered a new moral defeat. Not the defeat of the capitaligts—they in reality were the winners having brok- en the strike of the 25,000 Warsaw metal workers, and giving them but a 10 per cent increase, im wages in- stead of the 60 per cent.to 100 per cent increase which was:demanded by the trade union bloc, but of the Polish socialist party which lost this strike, because the trade union, which was directed by the bureaucratic Polish socialist party turned out to be isolat- ed in the struggle and a united front in’ the form of a bloc | created against their union. The nationalist christian-democratic trade unions which joined this bloc did so out of hatred and competition against the Polish socialist party, and for once at- tempted to defend the workers’ rights to the very énd. But in reality, the chief guidifig role in this strike was played by ‘he opposition Metal Turn- ers’ Trade Union, whieh was com- posed of those elements which had been expelled by thé Polish socialists. The opposing “metal turners” not only did not allow themselves to be isolated in the ‘strike, they suc- ceeded in organizing all the unions, with the exception of the Polish so- cialist party in a single bloc. Accord- ing to their wont, the Polish socialist party went over to the other side as strikebreakers, but were suddenly con- fronted with the bloc,.which demand- ed the further contin of the strike, and which ly led the strike. The foul the menshe- vik blacklegs was 5) B up in all its glory. It was emphasiged. by the leaf- lets published by the, Communist Party. The Warsaw committee of the Communist Party published three leaflets one after the other, exposing the treacherous role of the Polish go- cialist party and appealing for the prolongation of the struggle. The strike was broken. It was broken due to the open co-operation tof the men- sheviks, capitalists and police.

The standard bearer of the socialist party, Norman Thomas, is a minister in good cir- cumstances and not a worker. The program of the socialist party has omitted all reference to the capitalist system and docs not make an aypeal to the workers directly but to the “citizens” and “public.” of New York. “There is nothing in the socialist Party progrsm that distinguishes it from a liberal, petty bourgeois pro- gram. In fact, the socialist party has so debased jrself in the pres»*n.t cam- paign that it includes in its program an appeal for law and order thru the increasing of New York’s police force.” The program of the Workers (Com- munist) Party, on the other hand, ‘Comrade Gitlow stated, does not ap- /peal to the “general public,” but di- at cid to the working class. “The Program of the Workers Party,” he said, “is a program which stresses the importance of the workers uniting Politically to combat the political Dower of the capitalists by the forma- Party has its own candidates in the field, due to the refusal of the social- ists to unite in a united, labor ticket.
