For Vice-President BENJAMIN GITLOW The Disarmament Comedy in Brussels By WALTER STOECKER (Berlin). | The disarmament comedy of the} Geneva League of Nations has found | a worthy continuation in Brussels | The social-democratic press reports | on the “unanimity” with which the disarmament resolution was passed | in Brussels. In reality it was pre-| cisely in this question that the na-/ ‘tional antagonisms of the separate social-imperialistic parties collided most violently with one another. To speak of actual unity here is simply ridiculous. The sole “unity” observ- able among the delegations in Brus- sels consisted of a mutual willing- ness to come to a decision placing no obligations on anybody, and giv- ing the separate socialist parties a free hand for the continuation of their imperialist policy.

In the camp, the children have the right to determine their) own activity, express their opinions | of the work of the leaders, etc.| There is a children’s council which! meets 3 times a week. There all matters pertaining to camp life are WORKERS INTERnational Relief Children’s Camp discussed. There is an executive committee of 8 or 9 children and one leader. This executive committee meets whenever necessary. The executive committee is composed of the heads of committees, such as the organizer ‘of the camp, the secretary of the camp, head of the educational committee, of the sports committee, social, sports, life sav-| ing, construction, literature and_ sanitation. g Camp Discipline. | f The children who come to the | WIR Childrens camp, no matter how nndisciplined they may be, go away Py ‘children 9 when their weeks or more are over, with a real understanding of working class discipline. Not that this discipline is enforced from above; but our younger comrades are explained, taught, educated to the significance of working class discipline. The Night Camp Fire. On Saturday nights camp fires are lighted, and programs arranged for the evening. Last Saturday night we had an opportunity to observe the children themselves at play. It was in the evening, after supper, after a day of sports activ- ity, swimming, baseball, etc. The children “were relaxing—and enjoy- ing themselves. The fire was started, wood was added to the slow flame, and in a short time there was a large bright fire. The chil- dren were seated on benches. They opened the projram by reciting the pledge and singing the International. Following that, an entirely im- promptu program took place. Some recited poems, others danced, there was mass singing. Comrade Erie Burroughs, a leader in the WIR Camp, then sang some songs and did some dancing. Relations With Camp Unity. The real life and punch of Camp Unity is the WIR Childrens Camp. They lead the singing, cheering, and everything else in camp. The activ- ities of the children are all con- ducted in English. Certainly W. I. R. camp can teach many adults who claim to be experts in the childrens movement a thing or two about chil- drens work. The children carry on their activ- ity independently of the Unity Camp. There is no interference, no conflict at all—in fact there is co- operation between the two. For the adult workers it is a real education to watch the WIR Camp at work; and the fact that the children have their baseball games with the adults affords both a mutual inter- est and good relationship between the two, (To Be Continued.) \, but little short of those of the Inde-| | pendent Labour Party. It supported) |the motion for congratulating the! Soviet government on Litvinov’s dis- |nrmament proposal, and proposed| the following supplementary motion to the resolution submitted: | “The Congress not only appeals \for socialist peace policy, but calls, jupon the workers to make it clear, to their governments that they will meet every danger of war, whether defensive or offensive in name, by the organization of a general resis- tance, including the refusal to bear | arms, to manufacture means of war- fare, or to lend any material aid whatever. It demands that steps be taken for organizing, with the ut- most rapidity. a world conference of | the socialist, trade unionist, and co- ment commission, as also the mo- | tlement. operative internationals, in order to| prepare for unanimous action on this | basis.” It is characteristic that the Labour Party did not support the motion for the refusal of all military credits. More Alterations. The Swiss Social Democratic Par-| ty moved numerous alterations in-| tended to give the resolution of the Executive a somewhat more Marxist touch, but without actually changing | anything essential. The sole step in this direction was the demand that \the paragraph be struck out which _ provides for equal free choice of the ‘army system for all countries. The following paragraph of the Swiss motion is of interest: “The development of war technics involves the necessity of small bar- |rack armies in place of the great junwieldy magses of a field army; |mechanized war replaces the fight- {ing mass army. These small pro- | fessional armies are replaced by il- legal army bodies and strictly or- ganized masses of industrial work- * Back Down. The demand for the refusal of all military credits for the army, navy, and air force was rejected! The demand that the passage on the free choice of the army system for all nations should be struck out of the resolution was rejected! The proposal that a world confer- ence should be called of the socialist, trade unionist, and co-operative in- ternationals against war danger, was rejected! And then followed a tragi-comedy! The Left heroes of the I. L. P. and the Swiss party climbed down, and agreed to the resolution submitted, although all concrete demands had) been abandoned! These negotiations of the disarma- ously may be further seen from the! fact that they rejected the British | motion for the convocation of the) disarmament conference before the! lend of this year, substituting the! |non-committal formula: “The dis-| armament conference is to be con-| | vened as soon as possible.” | The “left” social democrats point | on their social-imperialist accom- plices.

Soon | after De Graeff’s speech, “Budi.

P. P. K. I. (Concen- tration of Indortésian Nationalist Political Parties.) The rejection of Dutch leadership by “the Indonesian nationalists of all shades” is called natural. And the manifesto ends with the slogan: “By an indissoluble united front we march towards In- donesian Independence.” The remarkable thing about this | wing of the nationalist movement, whose members are mostly govern- ment officials. This seems to be a good siyn for the Indonesian cause of Independence, for with that mani- festo “Budi Utomo” enters the rad- ical-nationalist | movement. Mr. Singgih, a non-co-operator and now secretary of the “Budi Utomo,” made the following statement in an interview with a correspondent of the newspaper ‘‘Mataram”: “The confidence in the capacity of the government to translate into action what the governor-general said he would do upon entry into office, has been changed into one of distrust.

But the officials will not accept a reduction in their own salaries. The wage slash has the sanction of John L. Lewis international president. At the 1924 convention of the interna- tional union in Indianapolis, Lewis ‘boasted that he never accepted a wage cut and never would. And he was right. He had his salary raised from eight to twelve thousand dol- lars a year. i
