Page Two DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1930 COMPETITION BETWEEN BRITIs H AND AMERICAN (MPERIALISM SHARPENS J. S. Investments in Latin America Outstrip British As Arms Race Advances Yoilers Must Fight Imperialist War Danger; Demonstrate August 1! arpening economic rivalry between British and American which is rapidly leading towards a new imperialist war is ndicated by recent figures showing to what an extent U. imperial- ism is wresting trade away from British imperialism in markets where the latter was supreme for decades. In India, the greatest single source of super-profits for the British finance capitalists, American imperiatism has made giant strides dur- | €Tfors of all Indian provinces direct-| tions. ing the last decade and a half. While British trade in India increased only 19 per cent during the period from 1913 to 1928, the trade of the American imperialists during the same period increased by more than 350 per cent, Investments of American imperialists in Canada today have out- stripped those of their fellow exploiters in England. The best example, however, is Latin America, where British invest- ments during the period from 1913 to 1928 increased only 18 per cent, while Wall Street’s investments during the same period increased per cent. This is approximately the same rate of increase as in India. At the beginning of 1913 British investments in Latin America amounted to about $5,000,000,000, while investments of American bankers totaled only $1,242,000,000. By the end of 1928, the British total had increased to onl} 000,000, while the figure for the American bosses jumped 000,000. At the present time, Amer- 000,000 invested in Latin America. This American imperialists ican bankers have about § investment repr 20 per cent more than have inyested in the whole of Europe. It is this st world m gle for the Latin American as well as the other is the driving force and the real reason for the expenditures for the most modern navies and the arms race kets t rialist slaughter of 1914-1918 which grew out of the eco- ies between the two giant imperialist robber groups cen- tering a England and Germany respectively, at the same time laid the basis for the ascendency of American imperialism and the out- break of a new imperialist slaughter, only this time with British and nomic American capitalism as the hostile centers. The establishment of the Soviet Union, which deprived the capitalist robbers of one-sixth of the earth and a corresponding market created the ever-shatpening danger of an imperial ttack against the first workers’ ard farmers’ republic. The toiling masses all over the world must take up the fight against the tremendous danger of a new imperialist war. On August 1, the work d poor farmers all over the world will demonstrate against the roaching imperialist war and for defense of the Soviet Union. U. S. Foreign Trade Lowest in 6 Years the United|ist world is enmeshed. It means that the acute economic rivalries be- tween the capitalist countries of the | world, and especially between Eng- ‘land and the United States, will be Both imports | still further sharpened because of mn June were each this shrinkage of the world’s mar- low the.same month! kets. Imperialist war is on the is at once an indica-| march, and the danger of an im- ction of the deep) perialist attack against the Soviet in which the capital- | Union grows from day to day. The foreign trade of m has experienced in years. Building Trades Unemployment Grows Nearly half of the building trades workers in the American Federa- tion of Labor were out of work during May and June, according to figures compiled by a New York mortgage bank. Out of 850,000 building trades mechanics in the A. F. of L., 318,500 were unemployed during this period, the bank claims. This figure, it will be noted, refers only to these workers organized in the A. F. of L. With such*a tremendous ercentage out of work from among the so-called organized workers, one can just about imagine the tremendous unemployment among the hundreds of thousands of unorganized building trades workers. Those who have -work not only experience the most exhausting speed-up, but receive constant wage cuts. The A. F. of L. neither wants nor attempts to do anything for its members, not to speak of the mass of unorganized building trades workers. The government contracts, which Green hailed as the solution to the mass unemployment, are used to lower the standards of the em- ployed workers and to smash even their A. F. of L. company “or- ganization.” The workers are more beginning to realize the necessity of a militant program of class struggle as advanced by the Trade Union Unity League. Auto Output Drops; Unemployment Grows The production of attomobiles uring June reached the lowest point of any month this year except Janu- biggest consumers of steel products. Shutting down auto plants means also shutting down steel mills. The ary, latest figures show. The June | automobile output for the six moaths total was 335,475 automobiles. The|of this year sh.wed a decline of auto plants of the country have | 1,000,000 cars as compared with the been closing down, throwing tens of | sume period last year. This figure, shousands of workers out of jobs.| therefore, gives us an idea of how Auto manufacturing is one of the|deep the present economic crisis is. Butte Workers Fight Wage Cut The workers of Butte persisted in their determination not to ac- cept a wage-cut which the bosses tried to pull off on them. Last Sat- urday the bosses organized in the Employers’ Association issued an ultimatum which the workers completely rejected. Following this, the association announced its intention of using only non-union workers, that is, of carrying out a wholesale policy of strike-breaking. Wage- cuts are the order of the day all over the country. A wave of mass re- sistance is gathering momentum in reply to this campaign of the bosses. The sharpest class struggle on a giant scale is immediately ahead. Provide “Doles” By Taxing Workers WELLINGTON, New Zealand, uly 18.—An annual tax of 80 shil- lings (about $7.50) on all male work- ers above 21 years of age will be levied in order to provide half of the funds for unemployment insur- ance. Thus, one of the most naked at- tempts of the boss class to shift the burden of the crisis on the shoul- |ders of the working class is being |made in New Zealand, the country which all reformists and labor trait- ors point to as most “enlightened” |in its labor legislations. Czeck Workers Revolt Against Hais PRAGUE (I. P. S.).—The efforts of the liquidator to bring his feder- ation over to the reformists is not meeting with the approval of the members. The Hais group in Hlovetz in Slovakia has adopted a resolution protesting against the proposed amalgamation with the veformist trade union federation and calling for the opening of nego- tiations with the revolutionary trade unions. The metal workers group in Pilsen and the Clerks and Bureau employees group in Brunn have also declared against amalga- mation with the reformist trade union federation and have returned to the revolutionary trade unions. to Briand Proposals phrases, represents nothing but re- quest to share spoils, while the Ger- man answer demands equal treat- ment with victor nations, plus in- clusion of the Soviet Union and Turkey, which is unacteptable to France. Briand’s idea is tempora- tily scuttled. Pravda On Answers MOSCOW, July 18.—Commenting «n the answers of the different cap- _ ttalist governments to the Briand _ oroposal for a United States of Eu- vepe, the Pravda points out that nly allies and vassals of Wrance ex- _ ressed complete approval. The talian answer, despite noble INDIAN RULERS “PLOTTING TODAY |Governors Gather; 2 More Pickets Injured BULLETIN. Capitalist press reports tell of British police firing eight rounds of buckshot into a crowd of 2,000 anti-imperialist demonstrators at Jubbulpore, India.

The reason for this persecution being visited on Eisman is because he smugged in a copy of “Historical Materialism” to read. Workers are urged to demand the rélease of Harry Eisman at all meet- ings and demonstrations.

F. of L. and Chairman Lewis E. Pierson of the Irving Trust Co. bandied compliments when crafts- manship awards were given union workers on the company’s new sky- seraper in the Wall Street financial district. Labor can thank President Green, said Pierson, for the “crea- tion of an attitude that has kept management from lowering wages to tide industry over this period of depression.” The labor leader praised the banker for being a ‘staunch advocate of high wages as a solution of economic ills.” The fraud lies in the fact that Green’s program, which is the bosses’ program, has simply not kept wages from being lowered.
