a ne Page Four FARRELL STEEL WORKERS’ CASES COME IN SEPT. Defense Sends Plea for More Funds By Wallace T. Metcalfe. YOUNGSTOWN, O., Aug. 11—The Labor Defense and Free Speech Coun- cil handling the now famous Farrell se- dition cases has just completed cir- cularizing the labor movement of Ohio. Thousands of letters have gone forth to the organized labor move- ment in Ohio setting forth the out- standing injustice being inflicted upon the six Farrell steel workers for dar- ing to exercise their constitutional rights of free speech and peaceful as- semblage in a district owned body and soul by the Steel Trust. Two workers have veen convicted of violating the infamous Sedition Law of Pennsylvania. Two are con- fined in the Mercer County jail be- eause their bondsmen -were compelled to turn them over to the custody of the sheriff. The defense is exerting every effort to secure the early re- lease of these two workers and the outside world is being appealed to for assistance. A cash bail of $2,000 each is required by the court. Jobless—Blacklisted. The two workers at liberty under bail awaiting trial have been out of employment since their arrest. Boy- cotted—blacklisted—jailed and com- pelled to fight against uneven odds, the game fight being put up by these workers is exemplary. The appeals of the two convicted steel workers will be heard before the» Mercer County court sometime in September while the four steel workers yet to be tried will have their trials in October. The defense committee is faced with the gigantic task of financing the appeals and the trials. It will re- quire $6,000 at the least to carry on the legal battle in defense of these steel workers. The defense committee has ap- pealed to the labor movement in the United States and Canada. Thru the labor press the TRUTH about Far, rell has been broadcasted to the out- side world and in response to these appeals many organizations have con- tributed. Miners Sympathize. A letter received today from a United Mine Workers union in south- eastern Ohio displays the real spirit of the American working class. Here it is and every member of the work- ing class should read it. Labor Defense and Free Speech Council. Dear Sir and Brother: In reply to your letter of July 25th. We are with you brother but this local has been out of work since last November, 1923. We was always ready to help of any kind but the Shape we are in I am sorry to say that we cannot help at the present. With the best wishes for a better day. We remain, G. a)» Secretary. In back of the Farrell defendents hundreds of thousands of workers and sympathizers are being mobilized anki from obscure oppressed steel workers they are now known the world over for their loyalty to their ideals. That non-partisan force for Free Speech—Peaceful Assemblage and Freedom of the Press, the American Civil Liberties Union, has exerted its powerful influence in behalf of the constitutional rights of these steel workers. Its representatives were first to come to the rescue of the de- fendants. . Workers Must Help. Workmen's Circle branches from all over the United States have contrib- ‘uted. This splendid organization of Jewish workers and business people maintains its tradition of defending the rights of the oppressed. Four of the defendants are members of the Workers Party of America, South Slav Federation, and the bulk of the financial support has been giv- en by them. On account of unem- Ployment the contributions have been small. ‘The defense committee ap- peals to the membership of the Work- ers Party—to all members of the working class and to those who sym- pathize with them in their struggles to heed this appeal for funds. There must be no letup in the cam- paign for the defense of the Farrell steel workers. Contributions regard- Editor’s Note:—This Is the first In- stallment of Comrade Bukharin’s re- port on the proposed program for the Communist International made to the Fifith World Congress of the C. 1. Our readers should follow this re- port with keen interest. Comrade Bukharin is a noted Marxist: and one of the leaders of the Russian Com- munist Party and one of the Russian representatives on the Executive Committee of the Communist Inter- national. A second installment will appear tomorrow, 7 * 6 Comrade Bukharin’s Report. OMRADES, we two reporters who were appointed by the Executive to deal with this question—Comrade Thalheimer and myself, have divided the work between us. Comrade Thal- heimer’s report will not be a counter- part to mine, but rather a supplement to it, Comrades, at our last congress the program question was discussed with considerable thoroness. The most im- portant program questions were dealt with in the reports made at that time. [ will therefore not again go over the paragraphs contained in my report and in Thalheimer’s supplementary report. Capitalist Accumulation. Differences arose in connection with two quite different questions: first, in connection with capitalist ac- cumulation—a purely theoretical ques- tion brought forward by Comrade Rosa Luxemburg. We have omitted this purely theoretical discussion for today, not because of our inability to discuss this question, or because we do not attack any importance to it, but because it is a question which does nét lend itself to discussion in the plenum. It is of an extremely theore- tical nature and therefore not suit- jable for the plenum of a great con- |gress. We have decided to deal with these purely theoretical questions at separate meetings. The second question, which gave rise to differences— the question of partial demands and transition slo- gans,—was settled by the Fourth Con- gress. As there are no differences in connection with it, this question disappears from the agenda, unless some delegation or group of delega- tions object to this. Thus, in today’s report I will deal only with new questions, namely with uestions not discussed in former re- ports. Comrade Thalheimer and myself propose (and I believe we voice the opinion of the Commission on this) that at this congress, we adopt not a final program, but rather a draft which the parties affiliated to the Communist International may discuss. This draft must be distributed to the sections for discussion in the name of the congress. Determine Aims and Methods. In the first place, we need the pro- gram for the ideological training of the parties belonging to the Commun- ist International. We also need the program for its political significance, in ordgr to determine its aims and the m@thods by which these aims are to be ‘achieved. We also need the program to demonstrate and to fur- ther our unity. I must say that I do not share comrade Maslov's scepti- cism with relation to the program. He published a rather good article in re- ply to comrade Boris’ article in “Die Internationale’—the theoretical maga- zine published by the German Party. expressed himself against the adop- But in this article, comrade Maslov tion of this program. He argues that sufficient preparatory work has not been done and that various, purely theoretical questions, are not yet solved. He proposes that only a pro- gram of action be adopted in lieu of a programe I do not agree with his contention, for I think that in the various documents already adopted by the Communist International, which date from our first congress, we have sufficient material and also sufficient elucidation of the most important questions which concern the program. [ also think that, with a few excep- tions we are justified in saying that even the purely theoretical questions have been, on the whole, well thrashed out. I think that there is no justification for comrade Maslov's theoretical scepticism. Philosophy of Movement. I come now to the question. itself. As I have already said, I will déal now only with questions which are com- paratively new. I presume that form- er reports, which were published in book form, and the discussions con- nected with them, are familiar to all less how small should be mailed at/the comrades, ence to the defense committee, Wm.

Send in that Subsoription Toda: RUBBER STAMPS AND SEALS has been said in the draft laid before the Fourth World Congress about the philosophy of the Communist Interna- tional and Communism in gener: But since then we have gone thru experiences which make it impera- tive for us to deal with this ques- tion, During the meeting of the Ei larged Executive we had a very heat- ed discussion on the religious ques- tion, This of course, is a tactical question, but not merely a tactical question, These discussions on the Wnlarged Uxecutive showed us that the question of our philosophy needs elucidation, There are more subtle {acts which, in @ less crude form per- haps than the religious discussion in- dicate that there are still some dan- sors ahoad. We notice among Com: ‘tarlat WE Aap heen AR A a a agen tt” munist Parties, and to a still greater extent, among social-democratic par- ties—especially in the German Social Democratic Party—a relapse into the old Hegelism, which we must desig- nate as pre-Marxist and an idealistic viewpoint. This is particularly no- ticeable in the social democrat Cuno, especially in his works on the state, the role and functions of this state. This is linked up with a certain re- lapse into Lassale-ism. I cannot of course, deal here very fully with these questions, I merely want to emphasize the fact of those relapses in the ranks of the social democracy. Unfortunate- ly, Communist Parties are not im- mune from such relapses into the old Hegelism, certainly in a less promi- nent form than in social democratic ranks, but which nevertheless reveal the same potentially harmful temden- cies. , The Italian Party. The second phenomenon is parti- cularly noticeable in the Italian par- ty, altho probably it is not conscious of it. This ideological deviation from revolutionary Marxism. could be desig- nated as idealistic voluntarism, which is substituted for Marxist activism’ We find the same deviations in the\ Russian Party, but in a different form, namely in the form of agnostic posi- tivism in lieu of Marxist materialism. Some comrades base their attitude on the teachings of a _ revolutionary school of thot, the so-called reflex- ology, and go back to activism. All this may be plausible enough, but it is not revolutionary Marxism. The point is that in all this, Marxist ma- terialism is treated, avowedly or tacit- ly as an obsolete viewpoint. This is a great danger, especially because bourgeois science and bourgeois phi- losophy and ideology are at present in a process of dissolution. This bour- geois ideology is tainted with mysti- cism, and therefore in a period of general disintegration and chaos can to a certain extent permeate prole- tarian circles. That is why philoso- phy must be given a place in the pro- gram. It must be precisely and con- cisely formulated. .We must say that we are materialists; our viewpoint is the viewpoint of revolutionary materi- alist Marxism. This is a rather elas- tic formula but we cannot do with- out it if we want to proclaim our re- volutionary Marxism openly and meet the perils which I described to you. Shows Certain Dangers. As to the second group—the eco- nomic questions, I must say that if the influence of bourgeois ideology is noticeable on the philosophical field, it is also present in our economic doc- trines. I should like to propose to the congress here to discuss Comrade Boris’ article in “Die Internationale.” Not because I attach much import- ance to Comrade Boris’ arguments, but because his article shows us in a crude form the dangers which are ahead. It is not a question of Boris, but a question of symptomatic phe- nomena. For it cannot be ascribed to mere chance when a scientific organ conducted by educated people print such foolish things and such social democratic rot. Such a phenomenon shows rather that there is a certain psychological basis for such discus- sions. This article is a palpable proof that the bourgeoisie and the social democratic theorists have gained a footing in our camp. The article is very outspoken, Certain compliments are paid to us in it. For instance, I am described as a petty bourgeois gone mad. This is a very outspoken expression, and as I said before, the article is very outspoken indeed. Comrade Boris would like to send the entire bourgeoisie and also the petty bourgeoisie to the devil. He has no wish to make common cause with any revolutionary parties in the colonies whatever, on the plea that they are bourgeois parties. He also taboos par- tial socialization. Ha says: to the’ devil with any kind of socialization which is not complete socialization! He wants to socialize everything, in- cluding the waste-paper basket of “Die Internationale.” He justifies his article by saying that political econo- my is the be-all and the end-all. Thus, we must socialize everything, or noth- ing. He is much more radical than the most radical elements represent- ed here. But under this radical cloak, we have literally a purely social de- mocratic theory, and I fail to see how it was possible for the edffors of “Die Internationale” not to notice it. This is ludicrous, and at the same time dangerous. Comrades, I will read you’ an extract from Comrade Boris’ ar- ticle to give you an idea what we have really to contend with. One of the most important differences be- tween the Second and Third Interna- tionals is the conception of imperial- ism, the conception that a few great Powers exploit the colonies, receive super-profits from these colonies and by means of them corrupt some work- ing class sections, which provide the basis for social democratic policy. Hitherto we thot that this concep- tion is the most important point which separates from the Second International. This conception is a strong weapon in our hands against social democracy, and against the im- perialist policy of the bourgeoisie, a strong weapon which enables us to establish a connection between West- orn pe and Asia, between the in- ai “proletariat and the backward colonial peoples. We have in this conception a connecting link between the revolution of the industrial colonial rebeliions, Bucharin Report on Program to the Fifth Congress of the Communist International in the trend of history are nothing but component parts of the world reyolit- tions, Against this, are directed all the attacks of the social democrats, on the theoretical as well as on the practical field. Criticism of Program. Now what does our super-clever Bo- ris propose? He criticises my draft program by saying: “What is the implication of the assertion that the bourgeoisie raised the wages of the workers at home and thus gave them an interest in the plunder? The European and Ameri- can workers are exploited. The work- ers receive the value of their labor power, i. e, the means of existence which are necessary to maintain and reproduce their class. Hence the means of existence must be sufficient to maintain the laborer as a laborer in his normal standard of living and to allow him to reproduce his kind. By fighting, the workers have been able to attain a certain standard of living. The basis for raising this standard was the development of pro- ducing power. The wages of the workers in the home countries were not raised by the bourgeoisie for the /purpose of corrupting the super-pro- fits of some sort or other. Moreover, there are no super-profits; there is only one profit, and this is created by surplus labor in production.” “We cannot speak of super-profits from the Colonies.” And after he has set forth our mu- tual standpoint, he writes: “And the Communist International is expected to elevate this class-con- ciliatory nonsense to its program. And the thesis covering-the war and post-war period are still more ab- surd. For the 19th century, Bukharin was able to use Karl Marx in a muti- lated form. For the beginnings of the 20th century, ha used Hilferding, whom he faithfully echoed, since theoretically he is his Disciple. But he has also developed a few of his own senseless theories of state capi- talism.” Thus, the whole doctrine of super- profits is fundamentally anti-Marxist; it is absurd, it is class-conciliatory, etc. Well, I don’t know what class- conciliatory means. But first I want to make a brief remark. Comrade Boris says that this doctrine is not Marxist at all,—that it is fundamen- tally anti-Marxist. There is no such thing as super-profits; it is impossible and impermissible to speak of the ex- Ploitation of one country by another; that is sheer nonsense. I base myself on an author who was in no way a petty-bourgeois run wild, 1. e., the ven- erable Karl Marx. In his “Theories of Surplus Value,” Vol. 2, Part 2, Marx says: “Even a blind sow can find an acorn, and even a bourgeois economist can sometimes speak the truth.” And with reference to his famous blind sow, Marx says: “J. B. Say, in his comments on Constanzio’s translation of Ricardo, made just one correct observation on foreign trade. Profit can also be made by cheating. One wins what the oth- er loses. Gains and losses within a country cancel each other. But this is not the case between various coun- tries. And even according to Ricar- do's eat ag Ae i Say does not notice—tiree working days of one country can be exchanged for\ one working day of another. Here the law of values must be essentially mo- dified. Or, as highly-skilled, complex labor within a country bears a certain proportionate unskilled, simple labor, so the working days of one country can bear a certain™proportion to the working days’ of another country. In such a case, the richer country ex- ploits the poorer, altho the latter may gain by the exchange. J. S. Mill de- veloped this theory in his ‘Some Un- settled Questions, etc.’” ae this we can infer that Com- ¢ Boris’ conceptions are somewhat more profound than those of a blind sow. But of course, that is not the decisive factor for us. The decisive factor is that we clearly see that this doctrine of super-profits of richer countries is an entirely Marxist doc- trine. Marx put that down in black and white. But Marx proceeds from the hypothesis—only from this hy- pothesis—that there is a peaceful ex- change between the countries. He does not speak of downright plunder; he does not speak of the results which must arise from the direct pressure of the state apparatus. What must be said when we also take this power- ful means into consideration? ‘ho question is perfectly clear and con- prehensible to any child. Only Cein- rade Boris believes that this doctrine is absurd, Now for the arguments of Comrate Boris on wages. Naturally, the bewr: geois can corrupt the working clase only by means of higher wages. That we consider the wages of the workers in the impertalist states, we observe that the workers receive their income in form of wa) but that is not the question. We must.ask: Why are tho wages of these workers higher the average wage? One answer {s: The wages are higher because the i bor power is of a different nature, because the labor power is more high- ly skilled. That would be correct, but a further question is where is the basis? How sibility arise for these the working class to ti prole- ot is entirely correct. If, for instance,, question, did not occur to Comrade Boris. The wages of every section of the labor aristocrasy conforms with its more highly skilled Jabor power, But why was just this labor more higly skilled? Why does this labor power belong to the highly skilled workers and not to the unskilled worker? Practically the whole work- ing class of the capitalist state is an aristocracy as compared with the parlahs of the working class. That is the basic question. This question is answered by our doctrine, which was created by Marx and devéloped by Engels and Lenin and which is clear- ly discussed even in the program of the Russian Party, Comrade Boa: absolutely overlooks this quests, And that isa return, a complete gm turn to the Second International. For it we do not have this premise, we cannot fight against the labor aristo- eracy, imperialist politics, and will not be in a condition theoretically to explain all these fundamentally im- portant phenomena. Engels, as even those who are not specially educated in Marxism know, even speaks of the bourgeois proletariat in England. This is also an absurdity from Comrade Boris’ standpoint, because he is not familiar with Marxist literature. We must ask: How is it possible that the editor of the “Die Internationale” can- not exercise a censorship? (Korsch: It was merely brought up for discus- sion!) Comrades, we cannot bring up every bit of piffle for discussion. That is a bit strong. (To Be Continued.) DO YOU WANT A LITTLE BUFFALO IN YOUR HOME?

IMMIGRANTS TO SOVIET RUSSIA TO BE ASSISTED Technical Aid Society, Warns of False Agents (Special to The Dally Worker) NEW YORK, Aug. 11—For the past, six months a number of complaints have come to the attention of the Central Bureau of the Society for Technical Aid to the Union of Sociak ist Soviet Republics against various unscrupulous agencies and individ~- uals who, it appears, have found a new source of easy income thru ex- ploitation of uninformed people de- siring efther to return to Russia in- dividually or to obtain a restitution of Russian citizenship. Some of these complaints deal with remuneration, at times extremely ex- orbitant, exacted by some agencies and officers for soliciting services, Other complaints are directed against persons styling themselves “Soviet consuls’ who have been charging from five to one hundred. dollars for issuing “passports” invalid in any country. Also there are complaints by persons stranded at various Eu- ropean ports, simply because they féll prey to irresponsible agents provid- ing Ahese unfortunates with worth- less documents and permissions of no value whatsoever. False Agents Cheat. People in large numbers from all parts of the United States arrive in New York, ready to sail. But at their great dismay and disappointment, they learn at the Central Bureau 8. T. A. S. R, that they have been tricked and cheated by reckless agents and that unless they are pro- vided with proper bona fide docu- > ments they cannot gain entrance in; to the U. S. S. R. Lastly, applications presumably for obtaining admission into U. 8S, S. R., have been incorrecfly accomplished by these agents and solicitations un- dertaken by them have proven to be in flagrant violation of particular re- quirements obtaining in re-emigrant cases. Russian immigrants apply to those various agents and offices merely be- cause there is no official representa- tive of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics in the’ United States. To avoid a recurrence of such de- plorable cases of cheating and mis- leading of Russian immigrants, and in order to establish a proper and correct procedure for such solicita- tions, the Central Bureau S$.
