On the other\nkhand, however, this strange siml-\n[ larity of the opinions of Polncaire\nKand Schiedemann and of the\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPrague Sozlademokrat, which In\nI tbe first moment of fright considered the treaty a military alliance\nf for new Imperialist wars, is not\npurely accidental.

Walter\nI'Boeder and Mrs. William Madi-\n| gen Dicks, all wives of imprisoned\nJ and each accompanied by the child\nm-'-tft some man Incarcerated for the\n[expression of opinion, took their\nI stand at the east gate of the White\n[l Houae on Pennsylvania avenue\n[about 10 o'clock ln the morning,\n. bearing conspicuously worded banners demanding the release of the\n| politicals.\nNo effort was made to Interfere\nFwith them by the White House\n| police and according to the plcket-\ni, most of the bystanders expressed sympathy, ana in several\nI eases pressed coins oi the children\n\"to help the cause.\"\nIn the afternoon, as the great\n| government departments ln the\n[ neighborhood of the White House\n\ were disgorging their horde ef\n: government employees, the Uttle\n| band of pickets resumed their\n( stand. This was the critical mo-\nI ment, for It was these same government employees who less than\nj, four years ago tore banners away\nfrom the militant suffragists, and\nf in several Instances, knocked down\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0t women and dragged them around\n, tho streets.\nThe amnesty pickets received a\n; much different welcome. Many\nclerks, both men and women,\nagreed with the sentiments expressed by the banners, and many\nef them gave money to the children. A comparatively few expressed disfavor with the purposes of\nthe crusade, but no violence was\nattempted. Aa ln the morning, the\nWhite House police made no effort\nwhatever to drive away the pickets.\nPresident Harding was not at\nthe White House during the picketing, having left for a cruise on\nthe Mayflower over the' Decoration\nDay holiday. Tho picketing will\nbo resumed on his return.\noppressed will bave\nto follow, A .mel Pasha, and the\npeoples o- India and China, oppressed by English and Japanese\ncapital, are no proletarian revolu\ntlonlsts. Nevertheless, a more oi\nless close co-operation of: .these\npeoples with Soviet Russia has organically developed, for tbe simple\nreason that the latter ls the natural friend of all*oppressed.- Soviet\nRussia has not signed the German-\nRussian treaty for the sake of Mr.\nRathneau's beautiful eyes. It has\nsigned tt and could sign it without\nInfringing Its revolutionary principles, because ln reality and in the\nflrst place, not Rathneau, not Dr.\nWirth but the German proletariat\nIb being strangled by the robbers\nof the Entente. Apart from Us\nown capitalists, the German proletariat must flght the capitalists of\nthe Entente. The German capitalists, however, are compelled by\nthe intensification of class struggle within Germany to offer\nmore resistance than heretofore to the robbers of the Entente.\nIf the German capitalists do not\nforce the Entente pirates to limit\ntheir greed, the dissatisfaction of\nthe German working class will\nwithin a certain time develop Into\nrevolution. Thus the German\ncounter-revolutionists are forced to\nco-operate with Beelsebub ln Order\nto exorcise the devil. Against the\nunequalled brutal greed of the Entente powers who menace German\ncapitalism and the German working olass with complete ruin,\nagainst the suppression ef the\nweaker by the stronger,* the German counter-revolutionists, who\nnow as before, fervently hate the\nRussian revolution, flnd no other\nway out than co-operation with\nthis hated class enemy.\nIt Is comprehensible that the\ngentlemen of the Second and the\ntwo-and-a-Half Internationals are\nnot enthused at this development.\nInstinctively they feel that this\nsituation of the German counterrevolution Is an immense victory\nnot only for the Russian, but also\nfor the German proletariat. For\nthe Russian proletariat Is flesh of\nthe flesh, and blood of the blood\nof -the German proletariat. May\nthe hand whioh signed the treaty\nbe the hand of a German Imperialist business politician, the treaty\nnevertheless is a victory of the\nconception which the German Communists have . maintained' for\nmonths and years; that the entire\nhistoric, economic, political and\n(Continued on Page I)\nFirst of Virginia Miners\non Trial Has Been\nAcquitted1\nClmrlestown, W.

If that\nWere not its function it would be better if it did\nviiot exist.

It is for this reason that the amalgama-\na tion with the B. C.

This condition is\nvividly reflected in a memorandum\npresented to the subcommittee for\ncredit of the financial commission\nof the racent Genoa economic conference.\nHere are aome figures as to agricultural production: Before the\nwar the area under cultivation in\nthe Ukraine was 71,000,000 desja-\ntlnes; in 1920 lt had shrunk to\n47,000,000 desjatines. During 1921\nthe area under cultivation was\natill further reduced by 12 por\ncent, in Siberia and 80 per cent,\nin the Volga region. The products\nyielded in those sections of Russia\nwhere there is black earth (humus) fell from 52.6 poods per des-\njatinee to 42 poods.\nMnst Import Grain\nEven before the war, the harvest was seriously Interfered with\nby lnaacts. During the war, howover, due to Russia's inability to\nImport disinfectants, this plague\nquite got the better of the Russians. As proof of this, witness\nthe fact that Russia now must import grain, while before the war\nshe exported 4,500,000,000 poods\nper annum.\nCattle production during these\neight years of war, revolution and\nfamine, haa decreased 52.55 per\ncent.\nIn order to bring agricultural\nproduction back to the level of\npre-war days, Russia needs a credit of 260,000,000 gold roubles\n(about $126,000,000) for agricultural machinery.\nIndustrial Production\nTbe memorandum next discussed Industrial production. Coal\nproduction In 1920 was but 27 per\ncent of that of 1913; petroleum\nproduction, 43 per cent, During\n1921, however, there was a slight\nImprovement. Wool production\nhad risen to 23-38 per cent, of\npre-war times, leather and hides\n38 per cent., paper 26 per cent.,\ntobacco, 42 per cent., matches, 14\npar cent, of pre-war production.\nThe manufacture of agricultural\nmachinery was but 0.63 per cent.\nof that before thc war in 1920;\nthe manufacture of wagons, 4.2\npei\" cent, of former timoB.\nThe only industry, ln fact, that\nflourished wns the production of\nmunitions and wai; materials. More\nwas produced along thai line, in\nview of Hunt!iu's being cut off front\nthe world, under the Soviet regime\nthan even in the days of the C::nr.\nComing to the question of transportation, the memorandum points\nout that the amount of rolling\nslock now in Russia today ponies 18,567 locomotives, over\nagainst 20,157 during the Czarist\ndays. The picture is less favorable in the caHe of cars of nil\nsorts. For. while the actual number to bc found In Russin today Is\nnot very much less than In 1913,\nyet the number in commission nnd\nuse Is only 9000, as against 37,000\nof pre-war days.\nI Com inn tut nn na_r\u00C2\u00BB 4^\nHowThey \"Crushed\" the\nWinnipeg Revolution and\nConducted the Trials\nStriking Information of How Justice Works b\nUncovered by M.

That\nis the alternative before railroad labor\ntoday, says W. Z. Poster. The United States\nSupreme Court has said it more emphatically\nduring the week to the workers of the United\nStates, when it was decided that labor unions\nare liable as organizations to be sued in their\nassociate names in the event of injury to property during strikes originated by the unions.\nThis is repeating history with a vengeance. It\nis the old Taff Vale decision handed down by\nthe House of Lords in Oreat Britain in 1901,\nwhen that august but hoary body decided that\na trade union could be sued in its collective capacity for the acts of its officials or members.\n* * \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nIt msy, however, be asked, bnt what has the\ndecision of the United States court to do with\nthe workers of Canada? Our reply must be,\nthat during the war period legislation was\nplaced on the statute books of this cotfntry,\nbased on the laws of the United States, enacted\nfor the suppression of working class activities.\nNot only that, the organizations of the workers\nof this country are linked up with and are\npart of the American organizations, and their\nfate is inevitable linked up with the organizations of which they are a part. Therefore the\ndecision of the Supreme Court of the United\nStates affects every organization in Canada\nwhich is affiliated with the American Federation of labor.\n\u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB\nThose who have studied the methods of the\nruling class in the United States will realize\nwhat power thb decision will give to the large\nemployers. Hatching of bomb plots and other\nsuch like schemes is a fine art in the U. S. A.\nA mine may be blown up by scabs, or the gunmen employed by the employers in the time of\na strike. The union, under such a decision\nwonld, of course, be liable for the damage done,\nand its funds seized. Incidentally, the Canadian\nlocals of such an organization wonld lose their\nfinancial support in the time'of conflict. X\n* \u00C2\u00BB \u00C2\u00BB\nWhile specifically, the decision of the United\nStates Supreme Court is an Ameriean question,\n.and the workers of the United States are\nthreatened, Canadian workers' organizations\nare also faced with a great problem, and as\nthe Canadian organizations are part and parcel\nof the U, S. Labor unions, the question becomes\nof international working class import. Amalgamation or annihilation, that is the question\nof the moment. No greater reason for the\nunited front of the workers of this continent\nhas been given by the most ardent advocate of\nindustrial unionism, than the decision of the\nSupreme Court of the U. S. A., and the Canadian workers cannot retard the movement\nagainst the U. S. workers better than by urging the amalgamation of the unions in the\ndifferent industries. Amalgamation or annihilation faces ALL workers on the American\ncontinent, irrespective of national boundary\nlines. \"'\nCapitalism and Free Thought\nTHE FREEMAN, in a recent issue, carried\nan article on \"obstacles to free thought.\"\nIn this article it is claimed that the two great\nobstacles to free thought are economic penalties and distortion of evidence, while the\nwriter claims that legal penalties are in the\nmodern world the least of the obstacles. Like\neverything else under capitalism, free thought\nis an expression which takes on different\nmeanings at different times and under dissimilar circumstances. The members of the ruling\nclasss believe in free thought so far as religion\nis concerned, bnt when the workers take a turn\nat free thinking and express themselves as being opposed to their masters' laws and tyrannies, then the legal and economic penalties are\nimmediately applied to the \"free thinker,\"\nwho ends up by finding out that he is not free,\nbut is incarcerated behind his master's prison\nwalls.\nCapitalism does not allow for free thinking.\nSlaves are not suposed to think for themselves\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094their masters wish to do that for them\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nwhile many workers would object to being\ndubbed as being mentally bound by their masters' teachings, yet it is a fact, and many a\n\"free thinker\" is only echoing his masters'\nideas when he speaks, and has not even acquired the habit of thinking for himself,\n* * \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nIt would be folly for us to say that this is\naltogether the workers' fault. It is the result\nof the education he received when attending\nhis masters' schools, when reading his masters'\npress; and attending his employers' churches.\nFrom childhood, free thought has been denied\nhim. Even his parents have obstructed his free\nthoughts, for they too were thinking as their\nmasters wished them to do. Those who by\nsome chance or accident break away from thc\npsychology of their masters soon learn that\nfree thinking has its disadvantages. They\nsuffer from economic preslure. They may even\nbe penalized by the processes of law, but they\nhave one advantage which these penalties cannot take away from them, and that is that\nthey see things in a new light untrammelled by\nthe miasma of their masters' hypocrisy.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 \u00C2\u00BB \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nWhile at an advantage mentally, they\nshould, however, remember that it may not be\ndue to their mental superiority that they are\nfreed from master-class psychology, but rather\nfourteenth ybar. tty,. so THE BltiTlSH COLUMBIA FEtegi-ATIONISI Vancouver, b. q\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 a \" ' . ....-, ,_,\u00E2\u0096\u00A0:, jasl.ll , , t ;\u00E2\u0080\u00A2__\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 t \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ' f a ' ~\nFRIDAY J_....June 9, 19_\ndue to som* peculiar chance of circumstance*\nwhereby their environment was different t*\nthose who still remain chained by ruling class\nteachings.

Capitalism\ncannot free its slaves; only the workers can do\nthat by overthrowing the system which enslaves them.\nNational Wealth, Wage Slaves\nand Capitalism\nTHE Vancouver Daily World, in an editorial\non June 2nd, dealt with the question of\nwages and national wealth. While deploring decreased wages, which, it stated, invariably decreased efficiency, the World certainly showed\nno understanding of the position held by the\nworkers, who produce all the wealth of the\nworld. For instance, after dealing with\nperiods of national crises arising out of some\ngreat crop failure or after a world crisis, it\nsays that\" all the losses are replaced.'' It then\ngoes on to state that the history of Great\nBritain is a record of national losses, which, it\nclaims, have always been replaced. The following passage, however, is worth criticism, as it\ncontains much that is erroneous:\n\"Side by sido with these tremendous\nnational sacrifices has come century by\ncentury a great increase in British national\nwealth; and a Blower but not the less continuous increaso in the share of national\nwealth allotted to the wage-earner, wage\nincreases have always been the ultimate\nresults.\"\n* \u00C2\u00BB *\nThe World then goes baok to the time of\nCharles II. and to the days of William HI to\nprove its case. But it is impossible by referring to those times to prove that the workers have gained by the \"national\" losses of\nthe late war. In fact, even before the war, the\nstandard of the world's workers was on a\nsteady decline. In the time of Charles II.\ncapitalism was unborn, and it was only in its\nvery early infancy in the time of William IU.\nIn the early day* of capntalism, however, the\nstandard of living of the workers rose, not because of the increase of the national wealth,\nbut because the development of capitalistic industry demanded it. Naturally, the country\nbeing the workshop of the world, snd\nthe first to enter into capitalistic production,\nthe national wealth grew, and with the need\nfor education, because of the changed methods\nof production and speeding up of the workers\nby factory methods of production, an increased\nstandard of living was necessary. But those\ndays no longer exist. The losses in human\nlife during the late war csn never be replaced;\nthe losses suffered since the war in the lowering of the standard of living, will never be replaced They are gone never to return, and\nthe share of the worker in the wealth he has\nproduced has steadily declined.\n* * \u00C2\u00BB\nCapitalistic development has reached that\nstage where it is impossible for the standard of\nliving of the workers to rise. It must inevitably come down, for capitalism itself is on the\nwane; the tide of prosperity will never again\nrise in a capitalistic world. True, it may be,\nthat times may improve a little, but it will only\nbe for a short period, and even worse conditions will prevail shortly after any slight improvement. But national losses are of no concern to the workers. Tbeir lives are devoted\nto making profits for a master class which\nowns sll national wealth including the wealth\nproducers. Wealth, thoy never know or see,\nexcept when it is leaving their hands for the\nwarehouses of their masters. Wealth they\nnever own. \"Any low-wage-city is a dead city;\nany low-wage nation is cithor stationery or decadent,\" says the World. Yos, and all nations\nare today low-wage nations; all are decadent;\nall are slowly bnt surely drifting to revolution\nbecause of the fact that they cannot feed the\nslaves of modern society.

A big howl is\nnow boing made against the tax on cheques,\nbut as the only cheque the worker knows is his\npay cheque, and he gets but few of those, he\nwon't have much to make a noise about.\nThe latest news is to the effect that if the\nUnited States railroad workers strike against\nthe reduction of wages, they will be liable to\ndamages under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law.\nWho said thc land to the south of us was the\nland of liberty?

Andrews ar* recorded In\nft letter to hira from Mr. Arthur\nMeighen, Acting Mlnliter of Justice, dated May 26, 1M9: \"I would\nask you to represent the Justice department, and examine any ' evidence that may bo available dealing with conduct of the principal\nagitators of the present unfortunate Industrial disturbance, with a\nview to ascertaining whether or\nnot any of the actions of these men\nare of a seditious or treasonable\ncharacter, and advise us as to what\nshould be done in the premises.\nIt Is very interesting to note\nwith regard.to the man who was\noffered payment for the giving of\nhis evidence, that the proposition\nwas flrst submitted to the Acting\nMinister of Justice, This secret\nservice agent, known as No. 21, lt\nwas stated,' would give evidence lf>\nguaranteed protection, transporta*\ntlon for himself, and wife ta Buko-\nwina, and $500 as well. Not much\nwonder that the judge was very\ncareful to prevent - this evidence\ncoming to the knowledge of the\njury. at\nAuthorities Ignorant\nIt seems very curious- that with\nall the secret service agents, the\nauthorities were so Ignorant of the\nreal situation. X appears that the\narrest of he leaders was hastened\nbecause Mr. Ivens baft closed out\nhis savings account at the Bank of\nMontreal, and had partially packed his household goods. The authorities concluded that certain\nstatements with regard to the settlement of the strike had been given\nout for the purpose ot enabling Mr.\nIvens and probably others to make\na quiet get-away.\nLittle wonder that the Preaident\nof the Privy Council acted in the\nmost incomprehensible manner\nwhen he was fed on information cf\nthis character.\nDuring the trials, one of the\nprosecuting lawyers was very urgent that certain other of the Labor leaders should be arrested. He\nconfessed that he did not think\nthey could be convicted before a\njury, and hence was of the opinion\nthat they should be deported without trial. Never again can such\nmen be permitted to oven pay lip\ntribute to the principle that every\nBritish citizen should have a fair\ntrial by a jury of his peers.\nThe Labor people all knew that\nthe Citlsens' Committee was carrying on a very extensive propaganda. The Citlsens* League had a\nscheme of meeting propaganda by\npropaganda.

The German\ngovernment has concluded a regular treaty with people whom the\norgans of the parties uf the Second and the Two-and-a-Half Internationals every day called \"murderers,\" scoundrels,\" etc.! The\nGerman government has to a certain degree accepted the protection\nof people who, according to reports of those \"Socialist\" papers\nare oppressing 150 million people\nby means of bloody violence, who\nlive on robbery and pillar, who\nassassinate Innocent Social Revolutionaries, etc. No, these phrases\nwill no longer apply in the future.\nIt is oven to be feared that thn\nGerman workers who hitherto\nwero befooled by these fairy talcs\nwill now open their eyes. Moreover, not only the German, but also\nother workers may draw the conclusion from the German-Russian\ntreaty that thero ls only one effective means against suppression and\nexploitation by a stronger enemy\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094tho alliance with Soviet Russia!\nThe lesson which the defeated\nGermnn capitalists are therewith\n(very much against their own will)\ngiving to their workers, lo indeed\nvery dangerous for those Socialists.\nThe displeasure which they feel\nat this treaty is thus very comprehensible. This, however, cannot\ndeter the Communists from spreading this lesson eagerly amongst\nthe masses. The more \"arguments\" these gentlemen raise\nagainst co-operation with Soviet\nRussia, the more impressively must\nit be pointed out to all workers, to\nall the oppressed, that It was Soviet Russia\u00E2\u0080\u0094this \"gang of murderers,\" as the Social Democratic presa\nIs accustomed to express itself*\nthat was the first to loose the\nstrangling hand Of the Entente\npirates from the neok of the German proletariat And we do not\ndoubt that the hungry, suffering\nproletarians will new quicker than\n'before, enter Into the camp of the\nCommunists and turn their back\nupon the base slanderers of Soviet\nRussia.\nPor Sale at\nFor that Uttle \"stag\" party at home la tha\neveninga, it's nice to he abla te aem\nBRITANNIA BEEB.

This change\ntoward benevolence, strongly tinged though\nit be with tardiness and mistrust, is a welcome change; but after all their heart is not\nin the work and thoy are anxioua to abandon it at the flrst pretext.\nWhat elae could be the meaning of current reports that, \"the back of the famine\nhaving been brokon,\" it will not be necessary to expend all of the money appropriated for relief? A moment's consideration of actual conditions in the vaat famine\nareas will reveal the cruelty of discontinuing relief efforts now.\nMillions upon millions of Russia's peasant\npeople, though rescued from starvation by\na meagre daily dole, are still broken in\nhealth by the long ordeal and sadly shaken\niit**|pirit.

And\nif we have vision, we will realize that they\ncannot succeed without the modern farming implements that would enable them to\nextract from the soil a thousand loaves\nwhere they now get but one.\n\"Bread and Iron\" is the policy that muat\nreplace \"Blood and Iron.\" Bread wt must\ncontinue to give until strength ia restored,\nbut wt must also give \"Iron\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094plows;\nseeders, tractors, reapers, threshers\u00E2\u0080\u0094in\norder that that strength may be productive\nand the danger of a famine recurrence may\nbe banished.

Sweitser.\nA statement Issued by the General\nDefense committee ln Chicago erroneously announced that Martin\nKulien, who reversed himself in\nfavor of the Centralia victims, was\na member of the Jury. Kulien\nhad been active in campaigning\nagainst the I. W. W. at the time\not the shooting and trial, but was\nnot a member of the Jury.\nHulton, in an affidavit signed at\nAberdeen Friday, affirms his belief\nthat the men were not given a fair\nand Impartial trial. Johnson, in\nan affidavit signed Wednesday, said\n'the Centralia boys ore Innocent\nof any crime. They would have\nbeen acquitted If they had had1 an\nImpartial trial. I am making this\naffidavit because I want to see Justice and1 justice is not obtained\nthrough a lawless attack on peaceful citizens.\"\nJohnson also states that If the\nJury had been allowed to consider\nthe facts of a conspiracy to raid\nthe I. W. W. hall the men never\nwould have been convicted, Tho\nJurors were intimidated, he says,\nby soldiers and stories that thousands of armed I. W. W. were terrorizing the countryside.\nIN R. R.
