Page Four THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THU By I. AMTER. Pacifists are loud ‘in their attacks on war. “War must not come, but! should it come, all good men must be} against it”’ They protest against) Kellogg’s attacks on Mexico on the grounds of its being bolshevistic; they decry the schemes of “American! diplomacy” on the grounds that they are serving only the “bankers of} resolution.

He will piously turn his eyes to heaven and declare that he} does not want so much militarism,| but as the representatives of the peo-| ple insist upon more adequate “de- fense” he cannot but consent.

What is) China be given full sovereignty over| the result? All the nations are feverishly preparing the most deadly gases and chemicals and training men} | to use them, Something more cogent has hap-| pened in the past few days. The U. S. army is recruiting men from} oversea’s service. Men are being en- listed in all parts of the country. In) Cleveland 23 men were enlisted, and) will be sent to the barracks at Colum- bus and be shipped to China within thirty days. It would be an open de-! the country—and yet do not see that we are close to another gigantic con- Aict. France is incorporating flame- throwing squads in every battalion of the army and does so on the specious plea that all the other nations are doing so, and that therefore she mus' do so “for purely defensive reasons.” France declares that the United States is the instigator of the whole nefarious plan, for the U.

The United States and Eng-| land will go together, it is stated That will depend greatly on the suc | cess of the Cantonese armies, aided! by the advice of Soviet Russia. If they press forward to the north,! threatening the area of Japan's influ-| ence, the latter country may go into the fight on the side of Chang Tso Lin. The attitude of the three gov-| ernments will depend on what’ the} Canton government does. England wants her concessions safeguar: Japan is afraid of her concessions— but also her sphere of influence, The United States wants the “open door.”) What will be the outline of the bat-} tle? No one can predict today—but all the powers are preparing for war. That much is sure—and all the Liber- al papers may claim that they are) preventing the war-mongers from! | the grounds that they are all doing) ~ How Near Are We to War? | | plunging ‘the U.

Up till a} short time ago, war preparations) were denied by the several nations.| The igure: .» to prove that} their armies were smaller, and. their| war budgets smaller. But now on) it, the imperialist powers admit that) everything is being made ready. America will be deeply involved in} this war—so too will England. A few da ago the papers announced) that the Kuo Min Tang was entering] into toueh with the government of Afghanistan in order to come to terms with that country. Afghanistan] is the route from China to India. As the Cantonese army proceeds victor- iously northward, the flames of re- volt will spread through Afghanistan to India. That will be a double threat to England. As America gets more deeply involyed in China, the spirit of revolt against American im- perialism will spread in the semi-de- pendencies of Mexico, Haiti, Cuba, an Domingo, ete., amd will be aided y South America. Already a revolt spreading in the Philippines. How far are we from war? Would the question not be more fitting, “how near are we to war?” Ss: Workers [Communist Party JOSEPH BRODSKY TO GIVE CLASS IN WORKE SCHOOL ON CIVICS, GOVERNMENT AND COURTS Joseph Brodsky, the noted labor attorney of New York City who helped | defend the strikers of Passaic and those on the Interborough Rapid Transit, will give a special course this spring in “Civies and Government” at the | New York Workers’ School, 108 East 14 Street, on Monday nights, begin-| ning February 21. ie The workers of New York City and} vicinity have learned much during the | past year about the nature of the gov- ernment.

Consequently, to contrast the “na- tional” tasks of the proletariat of one country or another to its internation- al tasks, means to commit a pro- found error in policy. Consequently, to describe the zeal! and passion displayed by the prole- tariat in their struggle on the front of socialist constructién as a symp- tom of “national insularity” and “narrow nationalism,” as the oppo-) sition sometimes does, is nothing but! madness or decrepitude. | Consequently, the assertion that) the interests and the tasks of the proletariat of one country are one and indivisible with the interests of the tasks of the proletariat of all countries is the surest guide to the victory of the revolutionary move- ment of the proletariat of all coun-| tries. lt is precisely for this reason that the victory. of the revolution in a single country is not an end in it-| self, but a means, a lever of the de-| velopment and the victory of the re-/ yolution in all countries. Therefore, to construct socialism, in the U. S. S. K. means to serve the common cause of the proletariat of | all countries. It means to forge the victory over capitalism, not only in, the U. S. S.

Although Germany amended that | article to permit only those Germans | to reside in Poland who could prove | it was. necessary for business pur- poses, the Poles refused to accept this agreement and began systemati- cally driving German business men out of the country, by special taxes and other measures. The Germany government says Po- Jand’s object is to nullify the point by dragging out the negotiations until all Germans have left the country. For that reason Berlin has broken off negotiations. It is denied that the ac- tion is due to the new conservative government here.
