The “Golden Peace” Also the United States-Signed the Treaty of Locarno—but with Invisible Ink. Sir Austen Chamberlain signed with a fountain pen made of solid gold—handle and all—probably made of newly imported ore from South Africa; and probably with ink from India and upon parchment made of Australian sheep-skin. For the treaty is a triumph of British imperialism. But it was also a movie show. The most ponderous states- : men.of Europe moved about. the big, decorated hall under the : = glare of calcium lights such as aye used at Hollywood. Thruout |: the solemn ceremony they kept their faces carefylly turned so as to be caught in the camera-reels—the same as Norma Tal- mage or Mary Pickford, or like Charlie Chaplin in “The Gold Rush.” Not that it is not serious. _On the contrary, it is the most deadly serious affair of many a month—an affair intended to balance off.the revolution in China and the revolt of the Druses and of Abd-el-Krim and the successful consolidation of the Union of Sacialist Soviet Republics. The Locarno affair is the’ signing of a treaty for the most colossal plan of many powerful governments.

It is a:treaty attempting to consolidate an imperialist united front for a war of extermination against the Union of ocialist Soviet Republics, for a civil war of enslavement against the workers of those countries whose governments signed the treaty of “golden peace,” and for a universal extension of the war of bombing airplanes and battleships against the hundreds of millions of Africa and Asia. That is why it has to be called a “treaty of golden pe That is why the movie cameras have to click; that is Ce theaters thruout the world under the false title: of the golden peace of Locarno.” If it wasn’t advertised as “peace” the working class of the world too quickly gather the fact that it is war. So the best genius of the movie camera, In- dfistry is put to work so that a hundred million simple working men and women in thousands of cities and towns will watch the screen where the images of the great~statesmen are shown (Continued on page 2) world, against the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics whighibiie-} a entire world—and against the hundreds of millions of | of capitalist Britain, capitalist France, fascist Italy and imper- + has to be put forward to the working class in a million cinéfiia | “The signing | — renner
