Page Four, THE DAILY WORKER CAL AND FOSTER MISS CHANCE 10 SPEAK AT FAIR iieticscta, tnvites Wall Street Darlings By LEO G. WALEWITCH. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 30.— John W. Davis, Morgan’s Democratic nominee for President; Robert M. La Follette, the small Wall Street candi- date for President, and Charles G. Dawes, Morgan’s Republican candidate for Vice-President, have been invited by Curtis M. Johnson, president of the Minnesota State Fair Board, to speak at the Minnesota State Fair in September. Invitations were not sent to the two other presidential candidates, namely, William Z. Foster and Calvin Coolidge, and there is a good reason why. William Z. Foster is the candidate of the workers and farmers, a Com- munist; a fighter for better society; a fighter against the present capital- istic society of which Mr. Johnson and his will be guests are members. Second is our present President, Calvin Coolidge. A year ago last Sep- tember he was here to address aeState Fair crowd. He was introduced, but after speaking twenty minutes he was interruptéd by someone in the crowd. “We do not want any of your speeches. We want auto races.” Many joined him and the speaker was obliged to wait. Quiet. He began to speak again} but after ten words the crowd became restless again and he was forced to sit down. He tried a third and fourth time, but it was too ’ much for the workers and farmers of | the Northwest. After such a HOT reception, from | which Coolidge has not cooled off yet, Mr. Johnson did not dare to extend him a second invitation. This recep- tion by the farmers and workers of the Northwest to the representatives of Wall Street should be a good lesson | The United Front in Revolutionary Strategy ZINOVIEV WARNS OF OPPORTUNISM Editor's Note, WORKER today continues Zino- viev’s report to the Fifth Congress of the Communist International on the tactics of the United Front. Today’s section begins with the serious error committed in Saxony last year in the alliance with the Social-Democrats. ees CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. Tactics of United Front. The Lesson from Saxony. The climax was Saxony. It is abso- lutely clear to us that what happened in Saxony was a-banal social demo- cratic comedy. That was declared by all Russian Bolsheviks, and I believe, also by all German revolutionary work- ers and real bolsheviks, out of their very hearts. From that moment it was necessary to call a halt. We can- not plead overestimating the revolu- tionary possibilities as a justification for what took place in Saxony. That would be a cheap argument. Wecan never be absolutely certain of success in, revolution. I say, that if the revo- lutionary situation of Oct., 1923 occurs again we shall again shout from the housetops that the revolution is at hand. We have nothing to repent of. In October there gathered here the representatives of the largest Com- munist Parties. No one had a word against our presentation of the ques- tion. Everyone was agreed that we must stake on the revolution, The |responsibility however, rests mainly on the E. C. and the Russian and Ger- man Parties. I repeat that if such a situation occurs again, we shall more} | carefully test the figures, more care- | fully review our strength; but again |we will back revolution. Survivals of Social Democracy. Over-estimation of the position is not the worst. What is worse, as Sax- and they should take notice. eS Sa | Superior Workers Will Demonstrate Against W.

We have enough common sense to know that a banal comedy was played in Saxony. Sax- ony revealed the true state of affairs about the united front, workers’ gov- ernment and the right wing in the Comintern.” The resolution on the workers’ gov- ernment by the IV Congress on the whole was correct. A number of its passages are excellent. A number of its forecasts have come to pass. Opportunism. The position is outlined as it should have been regarded as a thought-out plan for winning over the masses. But to construct a complete “theory” that we are entering a long period of workers’ governments composed of Communist Parties, “all” workers’ par- ties and peasant parties on the basis of democracy, is the beginning of op- portunism. What are the later de- velopments of the matter? After the Fourth World Congress, the right wing in the Communist International took the offensive. e Then came the Leipsic Party Con- vention, where a _ resolution was adopted stating that the adoption of the United Front in Germany was the linking up with the illusions and pre- Where Shall We Play? To the DAILY WORKER Children’s Column:—The city bosses are trying to tell our mothers and fathers to keep us children off the streets. They say so many little children are killed, one every day in sum- mer, by autos and trucks. They tell us we must not play in the streets. But where shall we play? There are lots of children on my street and most of them live above stores or in old houses. We can’t play indoors when it’s warm. We want to be outside. Sometimes we can wade in the water that runs in the gutter after the fire hy- drant has been opened. The city bosses say our fath- ers ought to find us play- grounds or parks to play in. There aren’t any near us. And besides most of our fathers and mothers work all day and so do our older brothers and sisters. ‘So there is no one to take us to the park, which is a leng way off. Most of us are too little to ‘sross the many streets to get to the school grounds where we could play a few hours. We might get killed under the fast UNIT CHILD ey. COLA @ by street cars. Why does the city ask us to keep off the streets and then not give up enough safe places to play? Why doesn’t the city make more parks and play- grounds, even little ones, so that all the poor children would be near to one? We would like to ask this of the city. But our fathers and mothers tell us that the city puts the parks where the rich children can enjoy them. Where the rich mothers and fathers can ride around with their children in big autos that would run us down if we ever got near. We kids don’t get a chance to swim and keep cool only when we can go on a picnic on Sun- day and usually our fathers and mothers are tired then and don’t want to take us far away. We have heard that in Russia the children are better treated by the Soviet men and women and that maybe some day this country will take care ef us children and give us better places to play. { guess now we will just have to go on playing in the streets and learn to look as carefully as we can for autos, but that won’t help much, wll va q 1.188 tuto mul of oterige i treated, judices of Social Democratic workers. That is perhaps an unfortunate way of putting it. But what is the follow- ing description of the Workers’ Gov- ernment? “It is neither the dictatorship of the — The DAILY | proletariat’ nor a peaceful parliamen- tary transition thereto. It is an at- tempt by the working class to carry on a workers’ policy, as a beginning, by means of labor democracy sup- ported by proletarian organizations and proletarian mass movements,” Mistakes of Czecho-Slovakian Com- munist Party. After the Liepsic Party Convention, came the party convention in Prague. If you study the resolution of the Prague conference you will find therein this paragraph: “The Work- ers’ Government can also be a peace- ful transition to the dictatorship of the proletariat. It is an attempt by the working class to carry on a work- ers’ policy by means of bourgeois de- mocracy supported by proletarian or- ganizations and proletarian mass movements,” This is a literal repetition. I do not,gthiow if this occurred quite by chaiice or if there is a plan in it, I feel convinced it is the latter. (Radek: Kleine). You know, of course, that Comrade Radek is in favor of a “plan” in. other spheres (Brandler: Radek was quite innocent of this matter). No you are mistaken, Comrade Brand- ler, Radek is far more responsible for the whole matter than are you, as he is responsible generally for opportun- ist mistakes, recently. Bukharin and Zinoviev Opposed. We, Bukharin and I, opposed this clause of the Leipsic resolution, but I must confess we did not do so openly and formally, we were not dictorial enough, we did not sufficiently use the power of the Executive. Well, Comrade Radek says: What do you | expect of Brandler, Brandler is a brick- \layer and when he expresses himself he hurls bricks about. Comrade Radek said that at our party conference. Very well, Brandler is a bricklayer, but |Smeral is not, and when he quotes he does not throw bricks about (laugh- Prague resolution, drafted by Com- expressed, than is Brandler’s. But he repeated most of the opportunist pos- tulates. Well comrades, whoever accepts these postulates is in conflict with Leninism and Communism, he con- ceives a special peaceful transitional period of workers’ governments and PRESS PICNIC PROMISES SURPRISES, MUCH FUN FOR CHICAGO WORKERS August means comfortable vaca- tions for the darlings of the present system, but now and then a worker gets a chance to do a little vaca- tioning himself. August 10th is the date of the monster Press Picnic of the Workers Party, Local Chicago— a real workers’ holiday outing. By the way in which workers of all nationalities and ages are clamor- ing for tickets at 35 cents each, it is already certain that the annual day of merrymaking at Riverview Park, corner Roscoe. and Western avenues, will be the most success- f one in the history of these affairs. 7s Entertainment is in the hands of George Maurer and Hans Peterson, the noted vaudeville team, who will either perform on the trapeze or on something else—undoubtedly some- thing else. Just what the nature of ter.) I must say that the end of the| rade Smeral, is much more fortunately) workers and peasants’ governments, in which it will be able to,do every- thing without revolution and in a democratic manner. After Liepsic and Prague and particularly after Saxony, this easy going state of affairs comes to an end. It becomes clear that it was not a matter of words but of un- derstanding two systems of policy. The German Left, who we thought ex- aggerated too much (and in many mat- ters they have exaggerated a great deal) proved to be right in this case. They alone, at the Moscow Confer- ence foretold the outcome of the Sax- ony experiment. ‘This compelled us to ponder over the matter and change our opinions of the Left. The Saxony experiment created a new situation, it threatened the beginning of the liqui- dation of the tactics of the Com- munist International. That being so, we must state the case clearly and make our choice. United Front Tactics Remain Fully in Force. What are the tactics of the United Front, what is the workers’ govern- ment, and what is the workers’ and peasants’ government? It is no use attempting to scare us, as Comrade Radek sometimes did, When he said that this is a revision of almost all the previous decisions of the resolutions of the IV Congress of the Comintern. Why such terrible words? We wish only to revise the clumsy, Radek smuggled into the resolution of the IV Congress. We wish to render them proof against misinterpretation. ‘We want to formulate this in such a way so that the bricklayer as well as the professor may see clearly what is being dealt with. We are in favor of using the tactics of the United Front for winning over the majority of the working class. The tactics of the United Front remain in force as before; we stand by the slogan of the workers’ and peasants’ government. In its resolution the German Party says, rightly: in a land like Italy, for \instance, a workers’ and peasants’ government is quite appropriate and |for France and a number of other countries it is equally appropriate. I believe if we understand this watch- word in the sense in which the Rus- sian Party has understood it, none of }the real “left” will have anything to say against it. A Revolutionary Watchword. ‘Whence comes this watchword? It has often been represented that Radek invented it. That is not true. The watchword was produced in the Cicero Membership Boosts Party Thru Electric Trust Town The Workers Party and Young Workers League membership meet- ing in Cicero last Thursday was very successful, In spite of the hot weather the members have responded rather well. Quite a few important problems were taken up. Among the more im- portant were: the reorganization of the Y. W. L. branch, the organization of the Junior Group, and the DAILY WORKER campaign. Concerning the Y. W. L. it was de- cided that every member of the party is to bring in a new member into the league or he is to donate one dollar to their organization fund. On the other hand the league members de- cided to give a prize to the party member, that will bring in most mem- bers to,the league. A valuable book is to be the prize. This campaign is to end with another membership meeting on August the 27, to be held at the Lithuanian Liberty Hall at W. 14th street and 49th Court. The same the entertainment is to be they refuse to disclose. There are all sorts of rumors, none of which seems to have much sense to it. Anyway, the interest in the picnic is all the m keen because of ‘the’ surprise for which everyone is waiting. It is now announced definitely by the Picnic Committee \that there will be dancing in the open-air pavilion to the strains of lively, up- to-date music—from early in the day until long after the moon has come out. The speaker of the day will be Cc. E. Ruthenberg, Executive Secre- tary of the Workers Party. Ruthen- berg needs no introduction to Chi- cago gatherings, nor to any gather. ing of the working class in America. He has been in the forefront of the labor struggle for years and Is at the present time out on bail, pend- ing his appeal from the trumped-up conviction in the famous Michigan case. China Tea for Russia. MOSCOW, July 30.—The Far East- ern “Gostorg” (State Trade Depart- ment) reports that it has purchased in China a large quantity of tea of vari- ous grades, on very favorable condi- tions—-at prices 20 per cent lower than the prevailing market quotations. Part of the shipment is assigned for Central Russia. Ends Protest Strike. SAN JUENTIN, Calif, July 30.— After a month, the last thirty protest strikers among criminal syndicalism prisouers have returned to work for the rresent. Further protest strikes are cetain to occur as long as criminal syudicalism prisoners are worked for ve length of time in the is to hold true for the Junior Group. The membership, by the action taken on the DAILY WORKER cam- paign, have shown that they realize the importance of both the increasing of the ‘circulation and getting new subs. It was decided to distribute the remaining copies of the special Cicero edition af the DAILY WORKER from house to house as advertising, and then to follow it up and try to get the people to subscribe. P In general the membership meeting was very successful, as it will result in the organization of a strong Com- munist youth movement and the ob- taining of new readers for the DAILY WORKER.

We want to use this watchword as the Russian Revolution used it. We have already described the application of the watchword of the workers’ government (Radek: “We formed a coalition with the So- cial Revolutionaries”). We do not foreswear the possibility in Europe too of taking into a Soviet Govern- ment a chunk of the Social Democracy which will break away from the So- cial Democratic Party and will be in- clined for a time to support us. This is what happened with the left social- revolutionists. It was a chunk which broke away from the Socialist Revolu- tionary Party and which was followed by part of the peasantry. We took them in tow. But as soon as they be- gan to talk the social-revolutionist language, we got rid of them. This was the correct strategy. But the plan of a pact with the social-revolutionary and menshevik parties after October was a mistake. It was a different thing at the time of the October revolution, when a group of comrades thought it possible to form a pact with the social- revolutionists and the mensheviks. For one moment I belonged to this group myself. But it was a huge mistake. Soon we conceived our mistake and rectified it. And for this reason, a few days later, Lenin wrote an article in which he said that the dispute was careless and wrong clauses which/over, and that we shall now continue to fight together. And now you want us to transplant this erroneous policy into other communist parties. This we shall never do. The mistakes committed in the course of the Russian revolution will find some justification in the fact that they will not be repeated in other revo- lutions. This is how the case of the tactics of the United Front stands. It is not a question of revising the tac- tics of the United Front. . There is no need for it. It is not a question of inventing “new” tactics of the United Front itself. I do not hesitate to say that in spite of many mistakes, these tactics stand on the credit side of our balance sheet. The whole thing is to protect the Communist International against opportunistic efforts. Take any country, even England. In England, in this matter of the united front, great mistakes have been made. Successes of United Front in England. Comrade Ruth Fischer writes in “Die Internationale” upon her obser- vations in England. I am completely in agreement with what she says about Ferguson’s election campaign, for his not entering the contest openly as ‘a communist. If we have to conceal our real identity, of what use is the elec- tions? Comrade. Newbold, when he was a member of the British parlia- ment, plagued me and Comrade Buk- harin, quite seriously, with the ques- tion: Was it permissible, in parlia- ment in exceptional circumstances-to speak and vote against the Labor Party? We replied: That is what-you are there for. In spite of all these mistakes in the English Party, how- ever, the United Front has produced some positive results in England. In local trade-union branches, Communist workers, in many cases, have acted quite rightly and havg won a great deal. This was also done in the Czecho-slovakian Party locally (factor- ies etc.) and made good also in Ger- many. The mistakes have been made in the sphere of parliament, of trade- union “central bodies, municipal bod- ies, etc. These are the main sources, of opportunism, but in the factories and localities, despite this opportun- istic tendency, a fair amount of good work haa been done. A Transition Tactics. Well comrades, what is now the po- sition? I have already dealt with the world situation. Therefrom, comes also modification in attitude, \and in the carrying out of our United Front tactics. First of all we must establish that this is a method of our propa- ganda, of the mobilization of the masses, as it was done in the Russian Revolution. For the social-democrats id. for the reformists the workers’ government represents a whole epoch. D'Arragona, the Italian reformist, for instance, said during the Amsterdam Conference in Vienna, in June, 1924, the best means of preventing new wars is to set up as many workers’ governments as possible. Thus for D’Arragona, the professed reformist, Workers’ governments are a panacea for all ills, and could prevent wars. For us it is by no means so. In spite of Radek’s bad clauses, we have said much that is good in the resolution of the IV Congréss. (Radek: The bad clause is yours, Comrade Zinoviev.) The bad clause is by you, the resolu- tion as a whole is mine. I will not shirk the responsibility; I should have done that at the IV Congress, not for the first time at the V. But no one at the IV Congress was so far-sighted; that at least mitigates my failing a lit- tle. (Tomorrow— Problem of Workers’ Government.) Spreading the “Gospel.” THE DAILY WORKER:—Comrades | using Fords, or other autos, in get- ting over the country will be inter- ested in my trip, Oakland, Calif. to Chicago, St. Paul and return, May 8 to July 7, inclusive. The distance traveled via Reno, Ely, Salt Lake, Ogden, Cheyenne, Denver, southern Kansas, St. Joseph, Cedar Rapids, go- ing, and Aberdeen, Billings, Yellow- stone Park, Salt Lake, Carson City, returning, with detours, covered 6,600 mules. Total cash paid for all par- poses, $128.35. Gasoline 314 gallons, $67.10, or 21.3 cents per gallon, aver- age; oil, 15 gallons, 74c per gallon. No trouble with Ford engine, not even cleaning a spark plug or timer. Very bad dirt roads and heavy rains through Kansas, Missouri and Iowa. My trouble was entirely with tires, skid chains, fenders and springs, $34.23. My machine had been used practically every day for five years. Nevada, with its dozen distinct moun- tain ranges and intervening alkali, dobe and sand deserts, is still a prob- 1gm to autoists, although nearly half the distance now has improved or naturally good road surfaces. Ferries and toll bridges cost $3.75. About half of trouble and repair. bills was due to inexperience and strange road conditions, and half to normal] wear and tear. Heavy overhead and accident expenses, fortunately, did not appear on this trip. A Ruckstell axle contributed very much to its success. Took “Hickers” Along Six different fellow-exploited were picked up and carried considerable distances on the going trip, and two party mémber hikers were transport- ed to the coast from St. Paul. Their culinary contributions are not in- cluded in items ot expense. ‘Nothing was paid for hotels, parking, camp grounds or garages. ‘Three heavy thunderstorms and one snow storm ,| Were encountered. Many splendid visits with splendid comrades at many places, especially Fallon (Nev.), Salt Lake, Ogden, Denver, Volby, Ellis, Wilson County, Kansas, Albia, Iowa, and, of course, Chicago and St. Paul. Distribute Literature My comrades, Milton Wirchenberg, New York (now Los Angeles), and Norman Bursler, Wilmington, Del., made the return trip especially en- joyable with their kodaks and their aid in distributing several thousand copies of our papers and magazines throughout the Northwest. In this connection, comrades who travel by auto, whether long or short trips, should go loaded with literature spe- olally provided (or excess and used Horatupe) and serve it out to thoge se ca yar aL Re gam THE VIEWS OF OUR READERS ON LIFE, LABOR, INDUSTRY, POLITICS they meet, especially workers and farmers along the road. We spent only 12% days from St. Paul to California, counting out 1% days spent in Yellowstone Park. A more leisurely trip could make a won- derful literature distribution and sale. A thoroughly live gang could do great work in a country town in a few hours’ They might even provoke arrest, but tact should avoid that. An Offer Should any comrade’s eye see this who would like to travel with me at any time, they should communicate with me at 1212 Jefferson street, Oak- land, Calif. I might change my pro- gram and route to suit them, at their expense, but at actual net cost. For instance, a group of 3 or 4 comrades could take a 2,000-mile trip for prob- “lably less than $50, a price covering two to.four weeks, and I could afford to keep and pay for the tent and camp utensils for future use. I would not want to undertake this except with comrades and more or less for propa- ganda and educational purposes along with recreation and vacation. Fraternally, P. B.

Thursday, July 31, 1924 OREGONIAN SEES COOLIDGE OUT OF LUCK THRU WEST Noted Renstioniey Lets “Hard-times” Cat Out (By Federated Press WASHINGTON, July 30.—As the story goes, hard-boiled Senator Stan- field of Oregon, who advertises him- self as the sheep king of the United States, was telling a friend that Cool- idge would have trouble in the West, “Won't he carry it?” he was asked, “Carry the West? Why, he Wwon’t carry a single state beyond the Mis- sissippi! Everybody out there is broke. Even in Oregon they’re all. broke. I have lost $5,000,000 myself in the past four years.” Stanfield is one of the Coolidge stalwarts. As a member of the Public Lands Committee which investigated the naval oil scandals, he defended Fall and Denby and Doheny and Sin- clair to the best of his meager ability, He was almost as Tory as Jimmy Wadsworth of New York. But he cannot see much hope in the West this year for his brand of reaction. Farm Co-operatives to Grow. One of the dark clouds on the hort- zon of Stanfield’s crowd of Western magnates in Congress is the co-opera- tive movement. The deflation scheme of 1920 did not smash the co-opera- tives of the farmers; instead it gave them new *stimulus for growth. Against the will of the administration, the farm bloc in Congress forced the enactment of a one-lunged measure for the legalization of co-operative marketing. The farmers needed and demanded much more, but they have used what little was given them to such advantage that the big grain companies and the Chicago meat packers have begun to lose their grip. Already the five chief grain buying concerns in Chicago have made a deal with the American Farm Bureau Fed- eration for the sale of their properties to a farmers’ concern, and the meat packers are said to be getting ready to unload in the same way. Boosting the price of grain ‘will not, in the gloomy opinion of these land barons. cool off the West for Coolidge or dope it for Davis.
