British and Japanese relations are rapidly developing toward a new Anglo-Japanese alliance, just as The DALY WORKER predicted last week whem the new Japanese government was or- ganized under Baron Tanaka. The Peking correspondent of the London Sunday Observer states quite frankly that: “ * * * the conviction is now borne in upon most observers that Great ain must sooner or later turn to her old pre-Wash- ington conference ally if she requires co-operative adjustment of her immediate difficulties in China.” The correspondent further states that the British legation staff iri Peking expects favorable results for Britain from the new Japanese cabinet, and that it greeted with joy the downfall net that refused to aid in the British policy of terror against the Chinese liberation movement. It is also noteworthy that the London Morning Post, which is a semi-official organ, openly advocates a new rapproachement | with Japan and laments the fact that the Anglo-Japanese alliance was ever allowed to lapse because of advantages anticipated from the United States. So, in spite of the fact that American military and naval forces in China have consistently played second fiddle to England the British are realistic enough to know that, next to the loss! of her colonies, the greatest threat to her imperialism is pre-! cisely the formidible power of the United States. And while Britain today welcomes the co-operation of the Coolidge-Kellogg| administration in China, she nevertheless prepares for the day when, if the Chinese liberation movement can be subdued, she will have to fight the United States over the spoils. This new alignment carries with it the implications of a war in the Pacific that will rapidly inflame the rest of the earth and ¢onsume with fire and blood countless millions of the working class of the world. As a simple matter of self preservation, if ail other reasons aré eliminated, the workers of this. country must demand in thunder tones that the United States get its naval and military forces out of China and keep them out. The demand should be followed up with action toward mobilizing the workers for a determined struggle with all means) at hand against the brigand policy of the imperialist butchers at} Washington who are recklessly gambling with their lives. Why Members of the 1..W. W. Do Not Support the “Industrial Worker.” In the April 16th issue of one of the two English language weekly publications of the Industrial Workers ‘of the World, the} “Industrial Worker,” published at Seattle, Washington, appears} an editorial lamenting the fact that one of the biggest units of | the membership of that organization which is launching an or-| ganizational drive on a large scale does not take even one copy | of that publication. | An examination of the identical issue containing that edi- torial lamentation strikingly reveals the reason for the boycotting of the paper by those class conscious elements of the I. W. W. who have a sense of international solidarity. On the first page, in bold type, it publishes a hysterical headline traducing in the, most revolting manner the workers’ and peasants’ government! of Russia. The headline runs: “Russian Workers Appeal for} Help in Combatting Savage and Inhuman Treatment from Soviet Government.” It is followed by an appeal alleged to have been} smuggled out of Moscow on “behalf of our comrades imprisoned | and exiled in Russia,” containing the most monstrous slanders against the leaders and diplomatic representatives of the Soviet Union. It is signed by a trio of adventurers doing the dirty work of the international imperialist brigands and white guard criminals who. hold forth in Berlin and regularly issue barrages of lies against the proletarian revolution in Russia. Informed | members of the I. W. W. as well as other intelligent workers, instantly recognize such spurious propaganda against the revo- lution. They know that the only political prisoners in Russia are those unprincipled scoundrels, in the pay of allied military| missions, who were caught red-handed trying to organize revolts against the revolution and who even resorted to attempts to as- sassinate the leaders of the revolution. The Paris, London and New York bankers who loaned money | to the Czar’s government so that he could buy gallows on which | to hang the leaders of the revolution want to destroy the Soviet | Union so that they can again draw interest on their “invest- ” I their death is a keenly felt loss for|the specific gravity on the compara- | finest exhibition of team work ever the entire Communist International.}tively small Communist parties of | Seen. They had no outstanding stars, ACMANUS and Ruthenberg were not accidental men in the revolu- tionary Gommunist movement, al- though their passing over to Com- munism coincided with the revolu- tionary wave which gripped consider- | able strata of the English and North American proletariat at the end of the imperialist war. This came about not as a result of their sentiment, but as an inevitable and logical con-, sequence of their ideological and poli- tical evolution, war, they participated in the labor movement on the left wing of the social democracy and always: con- ducted a stubborn struggle against reformism and opportunism. At the time of the war.itself, they came’ out determindedly against with the bourgeoisie, and remained irreconcilable ‘enemies of social pa- triotism, MacManus and Ruthenberg never betrayed the revolutionary ideals of the proletariat and never! betrayed the interests of the work- ers. Therefore, when the October revolution opened up the era of the international revolution, they natur- ally and logically found themselves in the ranks of the revolutionaries, and began the propaganda of bolshe- vism and the organization of Com- munist Parties. HE differed deceased comrades from each other in the character| of their talents in the service of the revolutionary proletariat. MacManus was predominantly a propagandist, and the extension of Communism among the English proletariat is un- doubtedly due to his untiring and sys- tematic work. Ruthenberg, on the contrary, was first of all an organ- izer and a political leader, and be- cause of his talents as a leader, the Workers Party of the U. S, A. has put him forward on the post as its first guide. But they had this in common, that they were bound up with indestructible ties with the work- ing masses whom they splendidly understood and among whom they grew up and that they firmly believed in the victory of the proletarian revo- lution and firmly marched together with the Communist International. When the first revolutionary wave which flared up immediately after the end of the war began to recede, many of the accidental arrivals inthe Comintern passed into the camp of the reformists, but MacMan- |us and Ruthenberg just at that mo- ment unfolded colossal energies for the final soldification of the Bolshevik movement of their lands. HAVE pointed out that the role and importance of the deceased {comrades extended beyond the bor- ders of their lands. They were active workers not of their own parties alone, but of \the entire Conpmunist International. The specific gravity of their personal participation in the international work, increased together with the growth of their own parties and with the strengthening of the world counter revolutionary role of the bourgeoisie of their lands. The work of MacManus and Ruthenberg in the Executive Committee of the Comin- tern of which they were members, was not limited by far only by the interest to the questions concerning immedi- ately their own parties. Prior to the world! an alliance | these lands is considerably greater | than in many other lands where the | | Communist movement embraces wider | strata of the proletariat. Therefore, | the loss of two outstanding leaders of | these parties is a very keenly felt loss | for the entire Communist Interna- | tional. They descend from the stage just at the moment of a most tense | struggle. The British and North} American imperialists just at this mo- ment unfold their brazen grasping and | jcounter revolutionary offensive over | the entire world. | And the reformist leaders made | their task easier by putting to sleep the working masses, with their ser- mons of industrial peace and class collaboration. HE English and the American parties are confronted with colossal | tasks of world historic importance for | the solution of which the revolution- | cided to demonstrate on May ‘Day| oss, the trusted subordinate who'| “Rutherford and Son.” ary experience and the outstanding @bilities of the. Comrades MacManus agi Ruthenberg were exceedingly | valuable. | AFTER ‘an untiring struggle _ ex- )*4 tending ‘over many years, in the {first ranks of the revolutionary pro- |letariat, which provoked deep hatred |and vengeance of the bourgeoisie, death found our never-to-be-forgotten comrades at their fighting post. Just recently released from capitalist pris- on for his courageous revolutionary work, MacManus hurried to the In- ternational Anti-Imperialist Congress in Brussels in order to participate in the preparation of a grand interna- tional campaign against the brazen British imperialism. As to Ruthen- berg, who already experienced several times the pleasures of the American vrisons for his leading participation in the revolutionary struggle of the proletariat, the American billionaires were preparing again to throw him for a long period into prison in order to deprive the revolutionary. move- ment of the country of its greatest leader at the moment when this move- ment is more than ever in need of mobilizing and straining all of its forces. The end of the two revolution- aries is worthy of their lives. Their untimely interrupted revolutionary careers will always serve, for the young revolutionary generations, as an inexhaustible source’ of loyalty to the workers’ cause of self sacrifice in the revolutionary struggle and of un- shakable faith in the victory of the} world revolution. ILE lowering, as a sign of mourning, the banners of the! Comintern in honor of the dear mem- | ory-of the dead comrades, we are far from being depressed. We firmly be- power of the English and American workers which will put forward from their midst new loyal fighters, talen- ted agitators, and courageous leaders. The great work of MacManus and Ruthenberg will facilitate the speedy replacement of the breach caused by | their death, in the leading staff of the | English as well as the American and | |the world revolutionary movement. | The world revolution will unflinching- ly de¥élop in the same path upon which marched in complete under- | standing with the Comintern our per- \ished comrades, and will end with the undoubted victory of Communism in the entire world, a victory in which they unflinchingly believed.
