Preparing for War The “war to end war” is yet to come, judging by the frantic military preparations that are being made by all capitalist powers. | According to a story with d Geneva date line, by Junius B. Wood of the Chicago Daily News, France and Italy do not even take the, trouble to muffle their bellicose utterances. Mussolini is waiting like an armed footpad, ready to pounce} on the first likely-looking opportunity for a little blood bath with! some loot thrown in. France has all she can handle in the way of colonies, but what is won by the sword must be defended by the’ sword. Britain is spending more on armaments than ever before. are Japan and the United States. Poland is groaning under a tremendous military machine that is constantly threatening her neighbors. Roumania, only a small country, maintains an army of 300,000. All those armies are maintained at the expense of the working class. They are all intended for use and not merely for decorative purposes. Their business is to crush revolt at home and defend the interests of the ruling classes against other pirates of the same kind. Soviet Russia maintains an army to defend the rights won by the workers and peasants in the revolution. As Junius Wood points out, the red army is more of an educational institution than a war So machine. The red soldiers spend more time learning to read and write than studying the art of war. What a contrast to the armies of the capitalist states! / So long as capitalism exists there will be war. Therefore, those who are sincerely engaged in anti-war activities, should do a little thinking about the futility of their peace propaganda, until the present robber system of wage slavery is abolished. A New Treaty with Panama The new treaty with Panama, recently “negotiated,” to use the diplomatic phraseology. which contains no hint of the influence of gunboats and marines, and whose chief feature is the acknowledge- ment of the right of the United States to subordinate all of Panama to the canal and the canal zone, is doubtless the result of new ac- tivity on the part of the state department aroused by the acquisi- tion by British interests of two large tracts of land in, cloge proximity to the canal. 1 These tracts are said to include practically all of the land suitable for rubber growing in Panama and in addition are so located as to provide naval bases “for a hostile power.” 4 Quite a furore occurred in the capitalist press when the news of these concessions was made public and unquestionably Panama was subjected to considerable pressure and the-new treaty produced as an agreement between two “sovereign” nations. ¢ The sovereignty of Panama was first invaded by Roosevelt un- der whose regime the canal zone was grabbed. Since that, time Panama has become a puppet state, the most recent incident preyious to the new treaty being the breaking of a rent strike.by the armed forces of the United States. id The extent to which the Central gnd South American states are allowed freedom of action under the Monroe doctrine is mathematically in exact proportion to the natural resources and strategic bas and its imperialist government. : The new treaty with Panama is only the latest example of the steady drive to the south of American imperialism. It is also in- dicative of the growing rivalry between America and British im- perialism.

Brookwood | which appeared in The WORKER on July 27th, By S, A. DARCY. R. FISHER bases his case for la- | bor banking on four main arga- ments: These are as follows: 1, Labor banking is only bad be- | cause bureaucrats contro! the banks. An honest left wing in con- trol can use it to the workers’ ad- vantage?” 4 2. It has a good psychological ef- fect on the workers, i. e., it cre- ates a business psychology. The left wing can then easily urge the workers to make the banks serve its Interests. 8. Shall the labor movement de- posit funds in capitalist. banks which fight the labor movement? 4. Labor banks have come to | stay—why not use them as best as | one can then? HE answer to the first argument is really the solution of the whole problem. Is the left wing fighting la- |bor banking merely because the bu- reaucrats control it or because the ob- ject of labor banking, as conceived in this country, no matter who would :control it, is one that is detrimental to the interésts of the labor move- ment? At the end of the world war, with the onslaught of the bosses, trade un- ion officials realized that they could [pee continue using Gompers’ “pure and ‘simple” trade union tactics and |tunction well, They had two cours- es open to them; #ther a more miil- |tant fight so as to more effectively rally the working class to greater struggle or a surrender of trade un- ionism and an insuring of their own |jobs thru other means—“business un- | ionism.” HIS. second course was adopted, | 4+ and the result has been an awful one for the whole working class. Ev- ery enemy of the labor movement has been using as a watchword, the phrase that “The interests of capital and labor are identical.” This has always been fought against by every honest labor leader. The workers al- ways aim to get as high wages for as few hours as possible so as to en- joy life better; while the bosses ‘al- ways try to pay 4s little for as long hours as possible so as to make great- er profits. This is the inherent con- tradiction in capitalism that makes for the everyday conflict between the two classes. The point about the Mu- tual Savings Bank in Superior is in- correct. This organization does not student, DAILY take on all the functions of the bank. It only makes small Joans on homes, ete, It does not make loans to man- jufacturers nor does it perform or | pretend to be the size and scope of a |bourgeols bank. . It has only one paid | | employe. It is really a co-operative bank. UT what does labor banking do | that makes the worker lose sight of the struggle with the boss? Hill- man, in his speech before the Acad- | emy of, Political Science, says, “Labor | seeks to assume responsibility for | management.” ‘This really shows la-| bor banking as part Of the whole | scheme of ‘class collaboration, It might | be interesting to note that while the | Amalgamated Union of which Hillman | {s president lost moré than half of its | | strength as a labor wnidn, at the same | |time its bank increabed its size con- | siderably, | | The only way that any bank can / ‘earn money {is by investing it in in-| \dustry or farming and make profit | |thereby. This investment may take the form of loans totbpsiness men or the exploitation of land and real es-| | tates; but the result is always the) same, that is, the: exploitation of | workers in an industry for profit. | The labor banks therefore become | exploiters and in order,to accomplish |their work of exploitation most suc- cessfully must fight organized labor |for the reduction of wages and the in- | crease of hours, | pe is not mere theory. Labor, banking is only about five years old and already we have had many ex- amples of this. Who does not re- member how the Locomotive Engi- neer’s Bank invested in open shop coal mines in West Virginia and then got into a struggle against the Unit- ed Mine Workers of America when this latter union tried to organize the, workers, in these mines? This same bank has invested in the Mexican Great Northern Ratlway, an imperialist venture, and has thereby. become interested in having America exploit Mexico and establish a strong military force to “protect” its invest- ments in case the Mexican workers ever take the industries to them- selves. This scheme ties up the in- terests of these labor“banks with the interests of Wall Street, its most bit- ter enemy. ? HE bank that tries to stick closest ! to the interests of the labor movement in its work is the Amalga- mated Bank. But even this bank is an exploiter of labor: .\Potofsky, .its vice-president, in an address before the League for Industrial Democracy during July admits that the Amalga- CURRENT EVENTS By T. J.

The only difference being to exploit workers in other industries for profits rather than clothing work- ers. “This,” Potofsky explained a3 reported in the New Leader, “is done for the purpose of segregating the un- ion from banking operations.” (Em- phasis mine.—S. A, D.) The bank therefore, loses its supposed useful- ness to the union as a tool in its hands, AN this situation be changed by the left wing? The answer must be an emphatic NO! First, because labor banks loan money to small busi- ness men they will be hit first and harder should a period of crisis de- velop. The failure of the Consumers’ Co-operative Bank of Philadelphia. resulting in a loss of sevefal hundreds of thousands of dollars to labor. un-| ions shows this, Then unless labor banks can mae profits they cannot compete om equal terms with the boss banks. A strike is a risky invest- ment, and no labor bank dare invest in strikes. As a matter of fact the men whd solicit depositors for the Locomotive Engineers’- Bank promise to their prospects, in the name of |the bank, that there will be no aid | extended to striking workers and they | theresby guarantee the soundness of the institution. N° bank can exist on six or eight per cent interest on its capital investment. The tremendous over- head alone that banks have, makes this impossible, Banks must there- fore invest its capital in such indus- tries that exploit its workers most intensely. This must also be true of labor banks if they are to exist. The Locomotive Engineers’ Bank has been frank in its purpose. The most disgusting jhing yet heard was the report of a Wall Street paper which reported the introductign of President Prenter of the B. of L. E. as “a bank- er who was also a labor leader.” The greatest enemy of the workers and the most marked symbol—the bank- er—is also now a labor leader. ROWDER, in this pamphlet called “Class Struggle vs. Class Colla- boration,” reports an interesting case of the Mount Vernon Savings Bank created by the Machinists’ Union in Detroit. The policy of this bank is so completely at war with even the mildest conception of unionism that during the presidential election while Johnstone, president of the union, was the principle backer of LaFollette, the Mount Vernon Bank sent out a circular ridiculing the LaFollette cam- paign and supportiag Coolidge ‘for president. It might be interesting for der’s. {It would give hima good in- sight into this most infamous class collaboration ‘scheme, ABOR banks have thus far” dem: the loss in ‘trade union since this and other such seen by strength inverted. it has confused the work- ers and turned their minds from the struggle for better conditions.

R, FISHER also says that deposit- ing the funds of the labor move- ment in capitalist banks is’ giving the bosses money with ‘which to fight the workers. An examination of the facts will show first, that the boss |class in no sense whatever depends, {hot even in the smallest’ way, upon these funds. “Nor does the withdrawal of these funds seriously hinder them in their struggle against us. ‘From |the-above facts, however, it is quite \clear that the establishment of labor | banks, not only ¢tonfuses the workers | but gives its bureaucratic officials fat j sqlaried jobs and institutions which | have been so organized as to make it | impossible for the labor unions to dis- | lodge them.- ‘AVE labor banks come to. stay? When the working class of this country begins to realize that entering upon a stage of trade union ‘capital- ism means the liquidation of a milit- ant struggle for better conditions, it will turn to the left wing program against labor banking and the gther | class collaboration schemes. The left wing clearly recognizes the menace of this capitalist institutidn introduced | into the ranks of the workers which has inherent in it objectives which are in direct opposition to the interests of the workers.as a whole. So long as the efforts; of this country are turned to capitalist.enterprise rather than working class struggle, there will be a worsening of conditions. ‘This how- ever, will,ngt,continue for Jong. The | militant struggle of the left wing ‘will | eventually separate trade unions and their legitimate functions from cap- italist enterprise.

Perhaps the man is so intoxicated with the glamor of Sam Insull’s hundreds of thousands that even 28,000,000 roubles look small to him. Outside of the German mark and the British pound the Soviet cher- vonetz is today about the only staple If Wise was con- ernéd with learning the truth instead of exuding poison about the workers’, republic, he might inquire of the strik- ing British miners if the more than two and a half million dollars they have received from their Russian fel- low workers is worth a “plugged nickel.” The wives and children of the harrassed miners don't think so and it is more than likely that if Mel- nitchansky saw fit to subsidize Joseph with as many roubles as the number of dollars Sam Insull donated to the campaign fund of his senatorial nom- inee Frank L. Smith, we are inclined to believe that Joseph would accept the money of The DAILY WORKER. ( CETTERS FROM OUR READERS MHE front committee was e wobblle ae the police from speak- ing on™strvet corners.
