They are not demanding more than just enough with which to obtain the coarse food that will enable -them- té recuperate from day to day the energy they give the mine barons, just enough of the coal they themselves thine in order to keep their families from freezing in the miserable shacks which they inhabit. + Against the unions in this struggle stands the mighty anthra+/ cite industrial combine. This combination has as its loyal defenders the official machine of the United Mine Workers of America, the union to which the miners pay dues and from which they have ‘the! right to expect protection to the very limit of its power and resources. Instead of protection they have the degrading spectacle of Rinaldo} Cappellini, head of the organization in the anthracite playing the role of a police agent and assisting the state of Pennsylvania to jail the militants who demand a real fight against the coal barons. In addition to this betrayal Cappellini uses his powers as dis) trict president to expel from the union the militants. It is against this alliance of mine owners, labor fakirs and the power of the state government, with the menacing threat of inter- vention by the United States government always hovering over them, that the miners in the United States must struggle. Here in the United States the miners struggle against over- whelming odds to maintain even an existence. Contrast this with the condition of the miners in Soviet Russia. The Miners’ Union in Russia is not fighting against wage cuts. Instead, while there is a crisis in coal mining in every other country in the world, the Rus- sian miners have just received a wage incease of 25 per cent. The Chicago Examiner, in commenting editorially upon this, observes: Another thing that keeps the Russian miners quiet, or tends to do so, is the friendly attitude of the government in time of trouble. While a miner is in the hospital, where he is treated free, he receives 40 per cent of his wages, if he is a bachelor, and 75 per cent if he is married. He also, on account of more severe conditions, works six hours instead of the usual eight, There is a month’s vacation with pay. That sort of sympathy has its effect. | This contrast between the condition of the miners in the United States and Russia sheds a blaze of light upon the depraved designs of the Cappellinis and Lewises. ‘No wonder these creatures oppose Communism. No wonder they strive to -befoul with their mendacity | the achievements ‘of Soviet Russia! When they state that Soviet Russia stands against everything | that the leadership of American labor stands for, they are right. In Russia the government exists for the purpose of defending the in- terests of the workers, instead of crushing them. A labor official who would dare attempt to sell out the interests of the rank and file would not escape by mere discharge—he wonld be shot. Instead of placing the risks of capital above human life, the Russian Soviet government places human life first of all. The official bureaucracy of the United Mine Workers know what they are about when they fight against Communism—they are fight- ing to perpetuate their jobs as agents of the capitalist class. On the other hand the miners will eventually come to know that their only hope lies in the direction of Communism, of the revo- lutionary overthrow of the capitalist power and the establishment of their own rule. Wall Street Government Another brazen imperialist venture in the interest of Wall Street was the recent disgraceful performance of the American minister of Nicaragua who aided the chief of the landowners and militarists, Emiliano Chamorro, seize power over the duly elected president, Salorzano. Chamorro was for many years dictator of Nicaragua and is the vassal of Seligman & Co. and Brown Brothers, Wall Street bankers. Secretary of State Kellogg is placed in a difficult diplomatic position by this recent coup. Te cannot consistently recognize Chamorro, because he has enunciated the Hughes policy of with- holding recognition to governments unless they are in power by onstitutional means.” The state department uses this excuse! against Ecuador, as it has long notoriously used it against Soviet Russia, in spite of the fact that that government rests upon a’ far, more democratic constitution than the United States government. The opposition senators in the republican party stand ready to) make an issue of ahy recognition extended Chamorro, and as ‘the next session of Congress is ‘soon to convene, the state department) dare not follow up its military vietory with official recognition. a HS Possibly the astute terrorists carrying into effect the imperialist! policies of the United States in Central America will arrange t6 stage a take eleétion under democratic forms and proclaim the dictator; Chamorro, the unanimous choice of the people. In which event ‘Kellogg will procliim to the world that the government has liquid; ated the civil wir in Nicaragua and broight to the people the blexs- ings of civilization. Lone Recent events in that part of the world indicate a growing te sentment among the masses of the Central American “republics” at the practice of the United States forcibly imposing rulers upon theta, It is to be hoped the events of the past week in Nicaragua: will inflame the masses in that nation to such an extent that they will expel both Chamorro and the American minister from their shores in such an emphatic manper that they will never return, The veteran clown of the socialist party, Mr. Oscar Ameringe?, who’ writes Brisbanalities in the first column of the -first page of Vietor Berger's Milwaukee Leader, thinks that if the United States and other “democracies” recognize Soviet Russia that will be the shortest. way of getting rid of the Bolsheviks. In, the same ar- ticle he says, “It’s the nature of military victories that they hurt the Vietors more than the vanquished.” “Then he states it was not the ved, army. that defeated the invading allies in the early days of, the revolution, “bit land hunger.” He concludes the. game article with the observation that the Bolshioviles ‘are'ther@ to stay. do'i ened sccialist please tellyus What Osear is talking dibout?

IX years ago, Kautsky saw a pic- ture of Bolshevism: a gorilla with a knife between its bared teeth. At that time it was posted up by hun- dreds of thousands at all street cor- ners in Germany, in order to inspire the German man in the street with fear of Spartacus, and to prepare him for the blessings of the Noske regime. It was published by the Anti-Bolshe- vist League which was a direct. de- scendant of the National League against social democracy, but was then used by Ebert and Scheidemann as.a weapon against the German work- ing class and kept going with govern- ment money (home service! ), Since Kautsky became childish, this bogey has pursued him in his dreams. Thousands and thousands of German proletarians may be slaughtered— even amid the thunder of the guns, Kautsky will preach alliance with the ‘Noske party. In Hungary and in Italy the bloodiest terror may reign, the Esthonian and Bulgarian peoples may be driven to despair—Kautsky will have no word, no thot left against blood and terror, Tho Germany be turned into a national penitentiary in which only the national bands of mur- derers enjoy the protection of the re- public, tho Hindenburg mount Ebert’s throne—Kautsky will crow: it is a jay to live! Tho the whole German people be enslaved, tho the whole world be threatened by American trust ‘capital with plunder, war and subjug- ation, Kautsky will have but one aim: Death to the Bolsheviki! E has now again raised this cry in a pamphlet: “The Interna- tional and Soviet Russia” (published by I. H. W. Dietz’ Successors, Berlin). It ought to be possible to publish the whole pamphlet so as to expose its author to the derision and contempt of the whole world. For it is one huge tissue of lies, so shameless, that they need only be pronounced to be ex- posed as such. There is no recent in- flammatory article against Soviet Rus- sia which is so impudently and stupid- ly mendacious. If we are to believe Kautsky, the Russian proletariat is sighing under the heavy yoke of its own party, it dreams of nothing but liberation from this yoke, being prepared to sell its Soul to the devil; but again and again it is routed by machine guns. Further even now that the civil war is ended and the Koltchaks, Kaledins, Wrangels and the boon companions of the men- sheviki are defeated, Russia is tearing at full speed towards disaster, and “White Cargo Hes isa typical bourgeois drama; bears all the ear-marks of bour- geois ideology; and it has met and is meeting the approval of bourgeois playgoers in London, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other towns and cities of the capitalist world.

Royalty now means ‘the new rich, the war profiteers, and the bene- ficiaries of the trusts and monopolies. Ww" sat and sweltered in the gallery, while the actors melted in the Congo. It was a mercurial martyr- dom all around. The plot of the drama hinged on the fact that the fresh young fellows sent out from England by theeRubber Co, failed to get prop- erly acclimatized. They must get their quota of rubber out and on board ship if they had to kill every “nigger” | Within a hundred miles. Ordinarily '}this would prove fascinating sport to jthe scions of English aristocracy, but tropical heat made sport too ich like work. Of course it would ishman in Africa to lower. himself by working, so after he had. murdered a couple hundred “niggers” or so he usually settled down to watchful waiting, to brandy and soda, and to “mama palavering.” He rather let the Rubber Co.’s inter- ests go hang. This heraled the end; for without rubber the world can’t roll, And so he sickened and another scion came to take his place and so on, ad infinitum, and ad nausearh. Generally the returning hero was too sick or to drunk to board the boat of his own accord and had to be car- ried on as luggage. He returned as “white cargo” collect, uninsured and no damages for breakage en ronte. F course, as you can see, the rest of th. plot doesn’t matter; but the crux of the thing hinges on the fas- cinating expression, “mammy — pa- laver.” This seems to promise exotic and erotic excitement to the jaded sex tastes of the morbid) members of the bourgeoisie, who form the bulk of the audiences; ages from 18 to 22, with a sprinkling of more mature and more debauched auditors, This term simp: means» mating with a negress during the term of the exile; or for part)time.; Or; mating with many, according to, the, whims of the white man, who is more or less fancy free in his marriages both in and out of Afri “The | bow white man, 1, mi course, takes his w, where he “He E DAILY WORKER everyone who has Wwitp sed the con- trary with his own pyes/is either a de- ceiver or deceived, Further, Russia is ruled by “a smal} clique,” “strong enough to serve thé interests of no single class (a splendid Marxist, this Kautsky!), to treat every class as its docile tool,” “a conspiracy against the Russian people, against workers and peasants as well as against the intel- lectuals and the remains and begin- nings of a capitalist class.” A clique “which has now got so far that it lives by ruling and exploiting the proleta- riat,” “has for years chiefly been en- gaged in subjugating, corrupting, en- ervating and blunting the intellect of the proletariat within, and ‘without Russia,” which “hag; become the most dangerous enemy of. the,proletariat it- self” so that “the, proletariat of the world is hopelessly» prevented from developing its fullforce as long as Russia is governed& by the modern methods of Bolshevism.” Briefly: in Kautsky’s eyes, Bolshevism continues to exist as an anti-Bolshevist poster. Ns Eageboe' painted Bolshevism, Soviet Russia and in the way the Com- munist International in ‘such colors, Kautsky easily arrives at a conclusion. He who, since 1908 (since the publica- tion of the “Way to Power”) has:care- fully avoided being consistent, who adopted no other attitude towards im- perialism, the: war, «hg. counter-revo- lution than one,of disgusting quietism, is for,once consigtent::Soviet, Russia must ‘bevannihifated! _Of course Karl Marx must bescalled as witness, he who in the inaugural address” preach- ed war against “the encroachment of the barbaric power which has its seat in St. Petersburg”—the Soviet govern- ment of course, is a still worse “bar- baric power” which indeed “no longer has its seat in Petrograd but in Mos- cow, further from Europe, nearér to Tartary.” Sincte the Bolsheviki con- summated the will of Karl Marx as re- gards czarism, the will of Karl Kaut- sky as regards the Bolsheviki must be consummated. But why is ‘that? Kantsky examines in detail how it could be done. The result of his’ inquiry i® fecklesgly con- tradictory, but just for that reason it leaves no doubt as to°whut he means, as we shall see. At'first:he imquires into “peaceful means.” 'His answer is “it is simply hopeless to!try to exer- cise moral influence ‘em? them (the Communists!)” “Like €véry other mil- itary despotism, like the military mon- archies of the Romanoffs, the Haps- burgs and the Hohengollerns, it (Bol- shevism) will probap:y.qnly be over- come by force.” 99 ye mo eRe one them; wh _yellow or pur- ple.

But that is a delicate mat- ter. First of all there is no prospect of success against a good army. Second- ly, the Bolsheviki understand the mat- ter too well and their police are too good. It is therefore better for Mac- Donald, Vandervelde, Adler, Scheide- mann and Abramowitsch to keep their fingers out of the pie. “Peaceful means” again then, Yes indeed! And now Kautsky is theoriz- ing at random. What wrecked czar- ism? The fact that it had to increase traffic, to promote business for the benefit of its military system. Thus it prepared the ground for its fall. Now indeed, according to Kautsky, the Soviet State is doomed to steady de- cline, which destroys all prospects for democracy. But perhaps the Bolshe- viki want nevertheless to improve the economic position of Russia. They give concessions, they try to obtain loans, they develop the system of traf- fic. According to Kautsky, the Soviet regime is still in power because the proletariat is weak. If the economic situation improves, the proletariat will become strong and can then cast off the Soviet system, that bloodthirsty rule of the “clique.” Kautsky’s opin- ion therefore, the anti-Bolshevist In- ternational should by no means oppose international loans to Russia, but should on the contrary encourage them. But it should demand as a con- dition for these loans the promise of “reforms,” which is also good because these “reforms” are demanded by the international stockjobbers. AUTSKY himself apparently only believed implicitly in his bogey of Bolshevism and in the despotism of the “clique” over the Russtan prole- tariat when he was in a condition of complete mental derangement. For that reason he is now secretly doubt- ing whether it is reasonable to build his hopes on the Russian proletariat becoming stronger. And it is thus that he arrives at the idea which is most elaborately developed in his article, which forms its core. Not, preparations for armed iisur- rection .but—speculation upon a gen- eral, spontaneous: revolt. Kautsky suddenly discovers that he had count- ed on.revolts of this kind “which would put an end to the three military monarchies of east Europe.” More than that! He knows that the major- ity of, social democrats, have refused to hope that “we should by gradually increasing in strength, imperceptibly grow over the head of military monar- chy and into a republic.” In Ger- many, Austria and Russia this has ‘=A Bourg eois “Success” “Art is a gec of play and dreaming.” “The higher art is a dream which points out the way to mankind in search of a goal.” : ITE cargo is a neurosis; the climax of the play is plain hys- teria. Instead of purging the emotions thru fear and pity, it transfers them into nervous channels. Several members of. the various castes have broken out into murderous attacks on their fellow troopers. Their nerves are put} on edge by acting as neurosthenics. | Like Harry Thaw they prefer fondling rabbits on their naked bodies rather) than engaging in collectivistic activ- ities. There will be no rush to Bol- shevism amongst the authors, the own- ers, the actors or the auditors of white cargo, No drive to proletcult! On the contrary, they all loudly acclaim themselves to be one hundred per happened (as is well known against the majority .of those social demo- crats). Why should it then not hap- pen again-in Russia? But how is a spontaneous revolt of, this kind; possible in Soviet Russia? By a severe shock to the state, by its.| being defeated in war. Kautsky is building ,on this foundation, and he discusses whether the menshevist. in- ternational should take part in such a revolt, And he answers this ques: tion very decidedly in the affirmative. “It might be disastrous,” he says, “were our international to condemn armed putch against Bolshevism as counter-revolutionary action and for- bid its members in Russia to take part in such an insurrection, on the ground that it, the international, had refused to have ny thing to.do with the armed: putch abitast Bolshevism.” J Te that reactionary elements, Hepake use of such, a revolt to ie eir own purposes should not deter, but rather stimulate “the soclal'/democrats to strive with all their“power to gain a decisive infiu- ence in the revolt—certainly: not. to frustrate it,” Even Kautsky must: havé leatned enough from the: history of thélast eight years to know that when ‘itcomes to deeds, the menshe- vikt cowld only gain such an influence in the revolt against the Bolsheviki by allying themselves with reaction or rathér by unreservedly submitting themselves to the counter-revolution- ary generals, But even this makes no difference to him, for he considers that “everything that is possible in the way of reaction in Russia, is al- ready practiced by the Bolsheviki in such a measure that it cannot be sur- passed.” He accepts the worst white- guardist reaction, he is prepared’ to promote it and, with this end in view. he speaks of revolt almost like a Bol- shevik, All this, Kautsky asserverates, it is true—whether it be hypocrisy or re- lapse into old Kautskyism—that he preaches neither intervention against Russia, nor revolt, but peaceful means only. But his pals, the leaders of the Second International, ‘will quite well ‘understand. As is his intention, they will speak in favor of credits to Rus- sia if their capitalists expect that it would be to their advantage. They will not however, for one moment, de- lude themselves into believing, that théy can overthrow the Soviet power by furthering the general economic development of Ruswra. They know that bettér than Kautsky with his idée fixe. But they will be thankful to’ learn from Kautsky’s article that a = centers. NTELLECTUALS adapt them- “selves to the real.” That is, un- der present capitalist society they join the crowd, get into the band Wagon, and seek pay for their intel- lectualism, like professionals. Artists are braver and saner than that. They see that the real in themselves is a longing for bYotherhood, not for ists and make their works master- piéces of propaganda for collectivism; not for capitalism. They try to make) their dreams come true. Their plays are means to an end. They know ‘that’ the present goal of mankind is colléctivist society ;, Communism, and ‘theif plays, paintings, poems, musical pieces, statutes, etc., all point to that goal.

Weinberger is representative of that generation of the Hungarian prole- tarian youth, which having joined the evolution trom an early age, went boldly into the fight fearing no pun-+— ishments, serving intrepidly the cause of the revolution. Such a life does not know any rest. Comrade Weinberger wag born in 1903. He. was only 16 years old, when the proietarian revolution was victorious in Hungary and then he was already an active worker in the youth movement. After the revolu- tion he fled abroad. However, his en- ergy during the emigration period has grown up and, being only 18 years old, he came back to Hungary and proceeded then to illegal party activ- ity. In 1921 he was arrested and sen- tenced to 15 years’ penal imprison- ment. During his trial Comrade Wein- berger, in spite of heavy penalty threatening him, shouted loudly “Long live the international revolu- tion!” His steadfastness won him the sympathies of the other comrades and especially of the young proletar- jans who saw in him a_ representa- tives of their strong, fighting disposi- tion, not the least weakened by the horrible terror. Thru the efforts of the Soviet goy- ernment he was set free from the Hungarian prison. He went to Russia in order to acquire knowledge in the school of the Russian Communist Party and Russian Youth League, He proved to be a good disciple; the great lesson of fhe Russian revolu- tion and the experience of the Rus- sian Communist “Party raised still more his revolutfonary energy and he came back to ,,Hungary for work.

Kaut- sky’s article was published immedi- ately after the English conservative government had compelled the ¢api- talist powers to form a holy alliance against Soviet Russia, at the moment when the crusade against the land of revolution is again to the fore. In these’circumstances this pamphlet has a definite political significance. Brifly expressed, it is: Gentlemen of the sqcond international, be on the watch? Your corn is beginning to ripen. You have once more the opportunity to win laurels in helping the cause of the capitalists in all countries. The co- terie of international ‘exploiters is anxious for war against Soviet Rus- sia. Make yourselves useful to them, for that is your business! Kautsky will not have sto tell them twice. It will not be long before they will resolve to carry out what Kautsky demands of them today: resolutely and with all the means in their power to work for the defeat of Russia in a war, resolutely ard with all deter- mination to take part in a general ris- ing against the Soviet state in alliance with ‘the reactionary powers and, in order to hasten this ardently longed- for opportunity, to facilitate the attack of the capitalist powers, to inaugur- ate a systematic campaign against Soviet Russia in the social democratic press of the whole world. ig this demand of Kautsky’s is ful- filled, if social democracy now en- ters. on a campaign of agitation against Russia, let us see that the workers of the whole world under- stand its true significance: a war of the whole counter-revolutionary world against Russia the workers’ and peas- ants’ state! It is a good thing that Kautsky has already let the cat out of the bag as to where the second im ternational would be if the capitalist campaign against Russia would mm» terialize. The workers of the whole ‘world should learn their lesson from this, they. must been their guard against any surprise and should, with- out @ moment’s delay, start a ¢am- paign against not only the danger of war, but also against the social dem- ocratic war mongers and for the workers’ and peasants’ Soviet repub- Nel. 57 “By Robin E.
