Sr 290 = Advertising rates on application, = The Greek Debt Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has a new problem t0 solve as a result of the latest attempt at debt settlement. The Greek mission is in Washington, like the missions of other nations that have been there and still others that are to come, in an éffort to arrange finan- cial affairs so they can secure further loans from the Wall Street banking houses. The Greek debt is comparatively insignificant, but the history of the thing is illuminating. In February, 1918, the United States, Great Britain and France agreed to extent credits to Greece after the end of the war, the American share of the loan to be $48,236,000. The United States advanced her $15,000,000 and then stopped because Standard Oil resented the role of Greece as vassal of England in the struggle for oil in the Middle and Near E. Britain’s meddling with internal polities in that country and the kaleidoscopic changes of government made Greece a poor investment for the United States. Mr. Mellon claims that Greece owes the United States the prin- cipal and interest of the loan, which amounts to $17,500,000. But Greece has a unique counter claim to the effect that the United States owes her the balance of the promised loan, $33,263,000, which must be paid before she will settle her indebtedness. If Mr. Mellon believes in the biologie myth of the inheritance of acquired characters (or characteristics) he must be forcibly reminded of the ancient Trojan admonition “beware of Greeks bearing gifts.” These ancient enemies of Athens discovered that the business men with their commercial swindles in the form of gifts accompanying their merchandise were more potent than Greek swords. However Mellon may reason about this incredible demand of the modern Greeks, the outcome of the negotiations will be de- termined by advantages to be gained in the world struggle of today between the United States and England. This government may can- cel part of the debt in the hope of paving the way for more effective financial penetration, or it may insist upon full payment. The total amount is trivial compared with the Italian and French debts and England’s domination of Greece for the purpose of creating power- ful naval bases in the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea pre- paratory to operations against Turkey in the struggle over Mosul will not aid the Greeks in the negotiations with the Washington agents of Wall Street. Another Exoneration for Wheeler The decision of the district court of the District of Columbia exonerating Senator Wheeler of Montana of charges of crime in con- nection with oil leases is the third victory for the running mate of LaFollette in the last presidential campaign. Beyond ‘doubt the prosecution of Wheeler was an act of revenge on the part ofthe Coo- lidge administration for the role the Montana senator played in aiding to unmask the thieving, murderous, venal “Ohio gang” of which the late president, Harding, and the cheap ward heeler and political crook, former Attorney-General Daugherty, were the lead- ers. meration by the federal court of the state of Montana where the crime is alleged to have occurred was followed by the attempt. of the department of justice to convict Wheeler in Washington. This also failed, but still the Coolidge outfit desires further _persecution. They cannot easily forgive the black eye they received in the Daugherty scandals. Leading republicans, however, are advising the government to refrain from further making itself ridiculous in this case. Then the recent change of front of Wheeler may have something to do with the recent decision and will probably prevent further prosecu- tion on the charges in spite of the threats. The Montana senator is now running with the pack that is howling to get the United States into the league of nations via the world court, which service to Morgan will do much to atone for the attacks upon Daugherty. This stand of Wheeler should be a lesson to those workers who rallied to the support of the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket in the last campaign under the illusion that triumph of the petty bourgeois third party would mean a victory for labor, and should stimulate the drive for a labor party independent of and against all such political shysters as Wheeler. ‘ Jesus Jazzer Silent Billy Sunday, now that William Jennings Bryan is dead, is the foremost American spokesman for that obnoxious aggregation of hell-howling, bug-house, mammon-worshipping protestant spawn, that upholds the bourgeois religion of fundamentalism. ‘This speci- men is one of the reliable servants of capitalism in its éfforts to keep the working class in ignorance and superstition.

Now this spook peddler is laid up as a result of an operation on that overworked part of his anatomy—his jaw. The'other day he spent six hours in a dentist's chair and is recuperating in’a hospital and for the first time in the past quarter century he is silent. As usual, the “superior” race has broken its word to a sup- posed “barbarian” foe. The French in Syria, after getting an armistice on the promise of a complete amnesty, began insisting on the punishment as for civil crimes, of acts of war taken by the Druse forces as an army but insisted upon by the French as in- dividual crimes of murder and pillage. So the Druses decided to begin shooting again. Now we will hear how they, not the French, broke the armistice. Wall Street imperialism has had to back up on the attempt by Pershing to keep an army of occupation loafing around South America for a year or so under cover of “settling a dispute” between Claie and Peru. “Black Jack” Pershing suddenly found he had much too bad teeth to chew the quid he had bitten off.

HE refusal of the Sigman machine to accept the provisions of the peace agreement granting propor- tional representation to joint boards, following its use of police to clear the convention hall and other methods of provocation, was clearly an attempt to force a secession movement for which blame could be placed on the left wing. In this the machine almost succeed- ed. After Sigman had announced shat no charge in representation would be made, in reply to protests from the left, he actually invited the left wing, if not satisfied with the committee ruling, to leave the convention. HE left wing, following the lead of Hyman, who said he would “take his hat and coat and go home,” left the hall in a bady. The continued use of split tactics by both the right and left, had resulted in an actual split. Only the discipline of the left wing, and cooler consideration of the dis- astrous results of such a policy, brought the left wing delegation back into the convention next morning and liquidated the crisis—a crisis which could not have been confined to the I. L. G. W. which inevitably would have involved the left wing in the whole American labor movement. Butchery of Chinese Workers Is Exposed © (Continued from page 5) and none of his virtues.” Such as told me by Old Mister Wong, the wise man of North China, head of the Kailan Mining administration, who sent his son to Yale, spent a quarter of a mil- lion on him there, and then watched him degenerate to a common coolie upon his return here. Really Benefit—By Turning Traitor? Such things are common here, and the Chinese is exceptional, who, up- on his return here can keep his head above water and really benefit by his learning. They land here with a hand- ful of dogmas, and a hearty sense of their superiority over their brothers; they scorn to work, and are cocksure in all the damnable senses of the word. They soon lose their moral fibre, their sense of proportion, and finally end up within a step of where they left off when they went abroad. | The oriental mind is queer—I don't care what your medical men say, | have observed the intricate ramific- ation and modes of oriental reason- ing, and I marvel at some of the processes turned out.

And, altho he might savvy. the Chinese viewpoint, speak their tongue —he is thereupon unfit for use as an analysist. Many of our missionaries go native, wear cues, and are littie more or less than White Chinese. In the interior such are found, having lost their occidental ways and really become Chinese, living in foul, in- describable dens, and still drawing funds from the Altogether-Missed Old Maids and Widows.

Hee we must consider the causes which brought the left wing into a maneuver dangerous eyen under the most favorable circumstances and only to be engaged in after careful prepar- ation and consideration of the rela- tionship of forces in the labor move- ment and which can be carried out successfully only with. a left wing highly conscious and well organized, firmly united by a gemmon ideology and hardened in the struggle. With all its fighting spirit and trem- endous following, the left wing in the Leh.

There are,few who will deny that a left wing secessionist movement in the needle trades, which would be confined to.New York, and which would not even, effect certain important sections of the ladies’ gar- ment industry in that,¢ity, could be cut to pieces by the-gombined efforts of the A.

The reasons for this tempting of fate are to be found in the confused conception of the role of the left wing in the présent stage of the American labor movement, an over-estimation of the strength of the I. L. G. W. U. left wing, an over- estimation of the political develop- ment of the rest of the labor move- ment coupled with remnants of. con- fidence in the desire of the Sigman machine to preserve the union intact. The split tactic of the left wing was entirely one-sided. It staked everything on the belief that the Sig- man machine would make concessions rather than see the union split and the fect that certain concessions were made and no split occured no more proves the correctness of this belief than the foresight of a gambler is proved when he wins on red because black did not turn up. HAT would the left wing have done if the Sigmanites had not made concessions? It must be remembered, in seeking an answer to this question that the left wing had followed objectively splitting tactics all thru the conven- tion, but splitting tactics which were the result of a wrong conception of the role of the bureaucrcay as the real agents of the bosses in the union —a split tactic which was supposed to bring pressure upon the bureaucrats by reason of their fear of a split when they themselves had been trying to split the union for two years. The walkout was a reaction to the provo- cative tactics of the machine—an ex- tension into the convention of the same tactics which were expressed in the expulsion policy, In other words, the left wing, after fighting for nineteen months for the Right and Left Wing in the I. L. G.'W. Convention right to belong to and wofk inside he union for the left wing program, ollowed a policy ‘which tended to rlace its followers ‘outside the union vy their own act. AD the Sigman machine made no concessions whatever, the left wing would have been compelled (by reason ‘of the fact that no way for a retreat had been prepared) to either submit under most humiliating circum- stances and come back to the conven- its followers demoralized, or to carry out the split and engage in a struggle in which it could not hope to win at this time for reasons given above. The left wing was able to avoid the continuation of the split and in this sense the Sigman machine suffer- ed a defeat, ~*~ But the consequences for the left wing for the balance of the conven- tion were very bad. Its militancy de- clined in a marked ‘degree and it made certain errors ‘for Which shaken morale, due to its iistake, was respon- sible.

Civilization’s Messengers, No sooner had the gobs arrived than they set to work, broke out big holes in the two-foot walls, and set up scores'of machine guns and a radio installation” They sent four men up the approach of the bridge, and these men, not knowing just where the border was, walked out on the bridge and thru a line’of about thirty Chin- ese infantry with fixed bayonets, These Chinese soldiers tried to stop the wandering gobs, and one of the Chinese was promptly knocked down by the truculent gob in the lead. The pals of the Chinese thereupon brought their rifles to the ready, and the gobs, with rifles still slung, set to work with their fists and broke one jaw and sey- eral faces, Extending the Border, The rest of the gobs thereupon came running up about twenty strong, and in about three seconds the Chinese border moved fully two hundreds yards from the settlement —and there it stays today, for the Gobs refuse to let a Chinese soldier within a hundred yards of the north approach, whereupon the South approach is really the Chin- ese foreign border.

It showed, however, in a very bald form, the remnants of a confused idea of the role of right wing leadership in the unions.

She may not accept the dogmas of the Soviet, but she may easily accept their anti-foreign prattle, and that only as means to an end. The Chinese always were, and perhaps always will be, antiforeign, hating change, inert.

All Oriental. Since the revolution of 1911 China has known no stable strong govern- ment, always in the throes of some inter-provincial war, always in the, grip of grasping officials—and the Chinese have never been a patriotic people, nor will they be. Conditions are against patriotism such as we know it; one hundred or more distinet tongues, a million prejudices of one provincial people against the other. ‘Yet, they are all oriental, have the intertia and oriental mind and, view- point, and consequently may act in unison against the hated foreign devil —even as they did in 1960 The Incomprehensible Native. Their demands on the Shanghai consular body are funny, preposter- ous, the products of cruelly distorted minds, the product of weak, incapable intellects. Last winter tens of thousands of Chinese refugees sought shelter within the international settle- ment from the shells and bayonets of their own soldiers; now these self- same refugees are demanding that the foreigner who was willing to lay down his life last winter to protect him should give up his settlement, let it be run by Chinese and that he should thereupon become subject to Chinese law—which is the worst mess Christ ever allowed. 1, for’ one, and every other for- eigner here, lose my temper every time | think of the utterly absurd demands made by the government, by the students, by the populace, They remind me of a bunch of boys, of-children.
