tn ie own DOWNFALL OF MacDONALD PRESAGES COLLAPSE OF REACTIONARIES IN AMERICAN LABOR UNIONS (Continued from Page One) movement which was more brutal, arrogant and threatening than those of his tory predecessors. The repudiation of MacDonald is therefore a repudiation of all agents of imperialism in the British labor movement. The second important charge made against MacDonald was his opposition to the wage policy of the labor movement. The LL, P. has gone on record for a blanket 20 per cent in- crease in wages. MacDonald says nothing about a wage in- crease but talks glibly about the necessity of “stabilizing” British industry. MacDonald was for the Samuels report which in reality was based on a wage reduction for the miners and his de- nunciation of Cook and other leaders of the miners centers around their opposition to the Samuels recommendations. The I. L, P., estimated to have 50,000 members, is the dominant force in the British labor party. Inside of it has developed a left wing, having close connections with the working class in general and the trade unions. It has op- posed MacDonald’s warfare on the Communists and the Na- tional Minority Movement and in the bitter struggle which followed the sabotage of the Scarborough anti-imperialist resolution and the exclusion of Communists following the Liverpool conference of the Labor Party, it has secured a majority. It represents the mass reaction to the pressure of imperialist policy at home and abroad and is eloquent stes- timony of the magnificent work of the British Communist Party in the labor movement. The defeat of MacDonald, administered at a time and in a manner which conyinces one. with a knowledge of the tradition of the British labor movement—its toleration for opposition opinion and desire to let everyone be heard—that» the intention of the majority of the I. L. P. delegates was to dramatize their repudiation of his leadership—will give new hope and energy to the left wing in the United States which is facing the heaviest attack in its history. MacDonald enjoyed almost unexampled prestige at one time. His position seemed to be unassailable. He raved and ranted against the Communists and the left wing and urged their expulsion in the name of “democracy.” He was power- ful and clever. But he espoused the cause of the ruling class against the working class and the working class has cast him out to find refuge in the arms of his masters.

But his denial | that there was a split in the cabinet on the Chinese policy, between Kel- logg and Hoover, ¥ not convincing. Hoover Criticizes It is notorious in Washington that Hoover has for months been criticiz- ing Kellogg, from the standpoint of American foreign trade. He hss been telling his subordinates and friends) that the Mexican and Nicaraguan ag- gressions have been too costly in the ill-will of all of Latin America. He has been reported as arguing that the American note to the Chinese Nationalists should never have been! made the same as the notes of Brit- ain, France, Japan and Italy.
