In every great center of population thruont the whole country gigantic meetings in the biggest halls have been arranged so the workers may assemble ae review tht achievements of the past year and prepare for new strug- gles in the future. Even in the smaller centers hundreds of meetings have been arranged with appropriate programs. | May. Day is exclusively the day of militant labor. In Chicago, | historic battle ground of labor’s struggles, the Coliseum, the} largest auditorium in the city, has been secured with an array of | speakers that will depict the struggles and problems of the working class. In New York and Brooklyn a series of gigantic meetings will be held, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Minneapolis, Kansas City: San Francisco and all other important cities will be scenes of great meetings. Long ago the officialdom of the labor movement abandoned the celebration of International Labor Day and tried to substitute the nationalist travesty on labor day which is observed the first Mon- day in September. May Day is exclusively the day of the militant section of the working class\here and a revival of the old spirit in- dicates an increasing militancy on the part of the great mass of labor. Unquestionably this First of May will see the greatest demon- strations in this country since the high tide of the labor movement that culminated in the great May Day mass demonstrations of 1919, where hundreds of thousands of workers battled against the full power of the armed forces of capitalism for their right to assemble, with Cleveland and Boston as notable scenes of heroic struggles that will always occupy a place in the history of American labor. woversveseenrsensees EC ItOPS Business Manager Belgium’s Debt Settlement Belgium has settled its indebtedness to the United States gov- ernment. It really amounts to a cancellation of all the interest on the war debt and is the most liberal settlement accorded any coun- try. In order that the real terms of settlement might be camou- flaged a debt contracted after the armistice was signed was in- eluded in the war debt. It was divided into. parts: $171,700,000 pre- armistice debt, and $264,000,000 post-armistice debt. The usual sixty-two years is the ‘period granted for payments. Again American taxpayers pay the difference on liberty bond issues used to float loans to a European country, And again the House of Morgan prepares to float heavy loans at a much higher rate of interest than the government demanded for its war loans to Belgium. These partial cancellations mean only that the European debtor nations are relieved of paying a part of their debt to the United States government in order that American finance capital may still further penetrate Europe, gain control of the industrial life and reduce the population to the position of semi-colonials slaving in order that Wall Street.may become richer. Only the revolution in Europe can save the workers of Belgium, France, Italy, Poland and thé other nations from the fate of Ger- many. The present rulers of these countries will readily become the | willing slaves of any financial power that can maintain them in | their jobs as assassins of the working class. To sweep them from power before the proletarian revolution is the most effective way of combating predatory American finance capital.

In a telegram just received by James P. Cannon secretary of the In- ternational Labor Defense, the United Front Committee of Textile Workers, thru its secretary Gustav Doak, ex- presses its hearty appreciation of. the work of the I. L. D, in connection with labor defense in the Passaic tex- tile strike. “The United Front Committee of Textile Workers,” says the message, “representing the sixteen thousand strikers, wishes to express its warm- est appreciation and gratitude to the International Labor Defense for its action in taking up the defense of Brother Weisbord and all the. other workers to the number, to date, of two hundred and sixty four who have been arrested because of their activity dur-, ing the strike, The efficient help of the International Labor Defense has taken a great load off our shoulders, and has given us greater strength and courage to keep up the fight. We appeal to all workers to support the nation wide protest movement which the I. L. D, is organizing and to contribute to its defense fund. The bitter persecution we have suffered during the strike and the attempts to railroad our leaders to prison have shown us clearly the great necessity for the International Labor Defense. We give it our unconditional support and endorsement and hope it will be built into an ever stronger shield of the working class. Yours for solidarity, “United Front Committee of Textile Workers.”— Gustav Doak, secretary. Robert W. Dunn, of the American Civil Liberties Union, and one of the defendants, declares: “The textile bosses have simply put their local government puppets to work in a more obvious manner than usual, Those who know the unspeak- ably corrupt and venal administration of so-called law in Passaic and Bergen counties in normal times are not sur- prised at the part played by Nithmo, Hargreaves and the others who serve the Forstmann and Huffmann com- pany as tho they were its office clerks. “Events of the past week méfély demonstrate the complete economic dictatorship we live under. No mercy, justice, fair play or even legality can be expected from the hirelings of the mill owners. Nothing but the organ- ized power of the unions and the work- ers can defeat the tyranny they have set up.” Pairs The universal condemnation of the arrests from people in all walks of life and of varying political and indus- trial affiliations bodes good for the united campaign which is now being begun. The first mass meeting under united auspices will be held on, April 28 at the New Star Casino in New York City, at which an overflow at- tendance is expected. Amohg the speakers will be James P, Cannon, of the International Labor Defense; Al- bert Weisbord, strike leader; Robert Dunn, of the Civil Liberties Union; Norman Thomas, of the League of In- dustrial Democracy and the Socialist Party, and others.
