Today the tories enter the league council, hoping that their dominant position will enable them to align most of Europe be-| hind its policy of terror against the Soviet Union, but on that front Britain also meets defeat; a defeat that they cannot face at home and which brings much nearer the day when the tory cab- inet must go before the country in an election campaign. Britain’s defeat at the league council was due to the attitude of two governments, Gtrmany and Poland. Instead of an identic| note to the Soviet Union, protesting against “propaganda and) espionage” carried on by the Communist International, Stresemann, German foreign minister, has been chosen to gently inform the Russians that such propaganda is resented by other nations—a complaint that has been repeated since the creation of the Inter- national and arises out of the imperialist desires to confuse the Communist International with the Soviet Union. Germany is taking advantage of the British break to increase its trade with Russia and is not going to become the catspaw of the tories who must strive to save their faces at home as well as| abroad. | «As for Poland, since the rise to power of Pilsudski, through a coup d’état backed by Britain, the main tendency has been to be that of vassal of Britain. But this is at present affected by a number | of strong cross-currents.

These factors, taken to- gether, outweigh the pressure of Britain and explain the remark- able statement of the Polish representatives on the league council that nothing should be done to “anger Russia,” for fear of mak- ing a bad situation worse. ' Thus, in spite of its dominant position in the league, tory Britain cannot overcome the contradictions of imperialism which have thus far prevented a bloc of fascist nations against the Soviet Union and which will act in the future to prevent such a consum- mation. Then above all the contradictions, hanging like a Damocles sword over the heads of all the imperialists, is the growing revo- Jutionary sentiment among the proletariat and peasantry of the home countries and the colonies, whose economic conditions must hurl them eventually into the ranks of the reserve forces of the Soviet Union and sound the death knell of capitalism. : Preparing to Smash the Traled, Chiang Kai-Shek. That the national liberation movement in China has the sit- uation well in hand is evidenced by recent military maneuvers. Teng Seng-chi, commander of a powerful wing of the Nationalist forces, has been recalled to Hankow from the province of Honan, leaving General Feng Yu-siang in full command of the Hankow _ government forces in the northern drive against Chang Tso-lin, whose forces are withdrawing into Manchuria.

The vast majority of all armies are peasants and this fact ex- plains the wholesale defection of reactionary forces as soon as they come in contact with the revolution and learn what the fight is really about. Even Chang Tso-lin is trying to save some of the wreckage of the Peking government by reorganizing the cabinet with a per- sonnel that may try to reach & compromise with the victorious Nationalist forces, in face of the failure to consolidate an effective army out of the remnants of the various reactionary bandit gangs. Meanwhile the imperialist forces of the United States, Britain and France remain concentrated at Tientsin, near Peking, thereby constituting a threat of imperialist war and.imposing upon the workers of the imperialist nations the duty to demand the with- drawal of these forces so that China can settle its own affairs in its own way. ; The counter-revolution could not last one week without the aid of the imperialists. | Michigan Dawes is also a tried and true mil-| | Mich.
