LaFollette, alleged champion of the oppressed, has scored his first “victory” in his program of smashing the state Farmer-Labor parties. With the resignation of the state chair- man of the Progressive Party of Nebraska, the Rev. J. L. Beebe, the first of the “legally recog- nized’ ties has been buried. To go into the details of the factional struggle leading up to this denouement would be use- less. The so-called “LaFollette movement” in Nebraska, with its quarreling politicians and self-seckers, is but a replica of what the LaFollette illusion has created thruout the nation—a gathering place for political vultures and discredited labor fakers. Beebe’s Swan Song. In announcing his resignation as chairman of the Nebraska party, Rev. Beebe stated that in His opinion, “the best interests of the LaFollette and | Wheeler mo¥ement will be served by committing the progressive party to the dust, in the hope that out of the coming election there may come a national progressive movement free from all bitterness and strife.” He further stated that “unscrupu- lous politicians from the old parties disregarded the distinct character and mission of the progressive party. The party has thus become a ruined and mongrel organization.” Local capitalist newspapers which had previously denounced Beebe as a “Communist” expressed their jubila- tion by giving prominence to Beebe’s resignation in their news columns. Foster Speaks August 31. The Communists recognize in the LaFollette illusion the greatest enemy that the workers and exploited farm- ers have at this moment. It is for that reason that Nebraska voters are urged to hear William Z. Foster, Com- munist candidate for president, ex- Pose this illusion. This opportunity will be accorded them when Foster speaks in Ohama, Sunday evening, August 31, at the Eagle Hall, Seventeenth and Cass streets. Party members and sympathizers are urged to get their tickets at the district campaign headquarters, which are lo- cated in Omaha at 206 Crounse Block.

Literature Department, Workers Party of America 1113 W. Washington Bivd., Chicago, ill. = state Farmer-Labor par- |is Workers NOTE: The following declara- tion of policy was adopted by the C. E. C. of the Workers Party be- fore the June 17th Convention. It has been read before various mem- bership meetings. It is now printed for close study by the members of the Workers Party. se FTER consulting the Executive | Committee of the Communist In- terantional the Central Executive }Committee of the Workers Party |makes the following declaration: 1. The United States of America is at present going thru a great social |and political crisis which is bound to become more and more aggravated. |The agrarian crisis causing the bank- |ruptcy of millions of farmers and, at |the same time, causing many others to completely get into the clutches of banks; ‘the oil scandal which has ac- celerated the process of disintegra- tion of both capitalist parties, all this setting in motion tremendous ses of workers as well as of the n and rural petty bourgeois popu: The efforts of these masses to m urba lation, establish a third party represent their endeavor .to emancipate themselves from the domination by the trusts and their political machines. But the cap- \italist class will undoubtedly endeavor {to retard thts movement by establish- jing the leadership of petty-bourgeois | politicians over the third party move- ment; it will make an effort to place it into the hands of old politicians bound by thousands of threads with the capitalist class. The petty-bour- |geois movement can play a progres- |sive part only when it will follow the lead of the workipa class. If it will |be led by the petty-bourgeois politi- cians it will fall under the domination of banks and trusts, even if it is par- ticipated in by working masses, for jnowhere in the world was the petty- |bougeoisie capable of being its own leader. This compelled the Workers Party to strive by all means to enter this broad current of the masses in order to assist the masses of the pet- ty-bougeoisie in detaching themselves |from the capitalist class, in order to organize the most advanced elements of the workers in the ranks of the Workers Party and in order to thus create the forces necessary for the future struggle for power. Must Become Mass Party. 2. With this task before it, the | Workers Party must not for a mo- {ment forget that the leading force in this struggle which will transform | the country of trusts into a country {ruled by labor will be the working |class. The first task of the Workers |Party is to become a mass Commun- list Party of workers. It can fulfill jthis task only by most actively par- |ticipating in the establishment of a labor party which, will embrace all Jelements of the Working class willing the capitalist class and be establish- ing a bond with the farmers who are at present in a state of strong fermen- tation. These two independent tasks —the task of building around the Communist Party of a broad class la- |bor party and of establishing a bond |to conduct a policy independent’ of} Party Issues Declaration of Policy between the labor party and the poor- est elements of farmers—have de- veloped in the United States, thanks to the peculiarities of historical evo- lution, as one problem, namely, the building of a common party of work- ers and exploited farmers. In many states Farmer Labor Parties are already springing up. This peculiarity of the situation which does not per- mit a separation of the task of creat- ing a Labor Party from the task/of coming into closest contact with the farmers, requires of the Workers Party special methods. The Ameri- can Communists must esthablish within the Farfmer-Labor Party a strong consolidated labor wing in- cluding the agricultural wage work- ers. This wing shall lead the ex- ploited farmer masses instead of fall- ing under the influence of the petty- bourgeois character of the latter. Must Correct Mistakes. 8. The Workers Party which im- mediately after it had been estab- lished was capable of emerging from the stage of agitation and propa- ganda and of taking up with great energy the political struggle, has still made a series of mistakes which must be corrected if we do not wish to cause great injury to the young Com- munist movement in America and to the struggle of the working class for its emancipation. Altho the condi- tions of the labor aristocracy in America have grown worse after the war, altho the economic depression which has already begun will render it still worse, altho the labor aristoc- racy constitutes‘a minority of the working class of America, the Work- ers Party failed in devloping suffici- ent pliability in manoeuvering with regard to the so-called progressive elements and did not devote, and does not yet devote, enuf attention to the work among the workers organized in labor unions. We must maintain a close contact and work with the Left Wing within organized labor, but in so doing we must not forego our inde- pendence of political action and our complete freedom of criticism. For the above mentioned reasons the Workers Party did not yet succeed in becoming the center of the discon- tented elements in the labor move- ment. The main task of the party in the near future will consist in trying to recover what was lost in this re- spect, in creating a left bloc in the labor union movement, in order to lead the masses of the workers. Only by creating a powerful working class base will the Workers Party be able to play the leading part in the move- ment which had assumed the form of Farmer-Labor Parties and to exercise its influence upon the farmer masses. | This influence must be broadened by direct work of the Workers Party among the farmers, which must be in- creased in the future. As to the task of influencing the farmer masses, the Workers Party has not only insuffi- ciently drawn the line between itself and the petty-bourgeois elements which endeavored to establish a pet- ty-bourgeois Third Party, but the Workers Party has to a certain de- gree itself fallen under the influence of petty-bourgeois elements. The THE DAILY WORKER statement of the Communist secretary of the committee which has issued a call for the Conference of June 17th, Comrade Hathaway, to the effect that the Farmer-Labor Party will not pur- sue utopian Communistic objects, but will, on the contrary, strive after real- istic aims, is a sample of eonduct in- admissable for a member of the Com- munist Party. The Executive Com- mittee of the Communist International expressed its surprise t®wt the C. E. C. of the Workers Party did not an- swer this statement by removing such a member from his post, and did not show to the Party as a whole that the Communist Party and the Commun- ists, when forming a bloc with the petty-bourgeois elements, must so much more sharply underscore their views instead of disavowing them. Shows Danger in Alliances. 4, At the Conference of June 17th, the task of the Workers Party must be to warn the workers and farmers of America against the danger of an alliance with a petty-bourgeois Third Party with a man of the LaFollette type at its head, which party will be- come not the means of emancipating the toiling masses from capitalist domination, but a new means for dup- ing these masses. In principle the Com- munist Party does not only not reject an alliance with the petty bourgeoisie, but, as have done the Russian Bolshe- viki, it is ready to make an alliance for the common struggle against the rule of the bourgeoisie, with pétty- bourgeois parties, when they pursue a revolutionary mass policy. The La- Follette movement, however, has not decided to really, break with the capi- talist class and the capitalist party. An alliance with the LaFollette move- ment would not serve the liberation of the petty-bourgeois masses from dom- ination by capital. This can be reached only thru the’ sharpest criti- cism of the policies of politicians like LaFollette and Magnus Johnson, thru endeavoring simultaneously to create an alliance with such elements of farmers and petty-bourgeoisie which manifest that they are truly striving for an independent policy against cap- italist parties and against capital. To support the petty-bourgeoisie when, in its vascillation, it manifests a tend- ency to split from big capital, is the duty of revolutionary workers. Such support, however, must express itself not in being dragged after the petty- bourgeoisie as its tail end, but in showing it the way, and pushing it to the left, in criticising its half-hearted- ness and lack of decision. 5. The Workers Party must strive at the Conference of June 17, to estab- lish a Farmer-Labor Party which would take upon itself toydevelop the forces directed against both capitalist parties and the capitalist order as a whole. The Workers Party must nominate and put up a fight for Com- munists as candidates for President and Vice-president of the United States on such an independent Farmer-Labor ticket. If this is rejected the Work- ers Party must then propose to the |Conference and support the nomina- tion of at least a determined and reli- able respresentative of the workers ifor president and of exploited farm- TAIL END OF DEM TICKET SAYS Hi ‘YES’ 'Bill’s Brother Charlie W. Puts Stuff on Air LINCOLN, Nebr.,*August 19.—Party lines were disregarded in the notifi- cation ceremony of Charles W. Bryan, brother of the anti-Darwinian ex- ponent of Ku Kluxism, and candidate for vice-president of the United States on the Republican ticket. There is a growing belief among the capitalist politicians that the elections | s: will not give either one of the pres- jidential candidates a majority of the electoral votes, thus throwing the se- lection pf president into tife House. | Should the fortunes of politics throw Bryan into the White House farsighted politicians,—farsighted so far as their | general interests are concerned—deem lit the better part of valor to be on | friendly terms with Bryan who would |probably get the LaFollette vote. | There being no outstanding issue between the Republicans and Demo- |crats except the very elusive specula- |tion as to which party contains the |most finished gang of crooks, there is |no reason why nomination ceremonies |should not be non-partisan, In fact there is no good reason why La Follette and his merry men should | not get on the fun, seeing that he also \differs with his political competitors on the question of more or less dis- | honesty, Are You Young in Spirit?

The Workers Party must submit to the Conference @ program which would combine the immediate demands of city and rural- workers with the demands of the toil- ing farmers against exploitation by capital. If these propositions will be rejected the Workers Party must de- clare to the Conference; “You have confidence in LaFollette or other simi- lar politicians; we have none, But we are ready to support such candi- dates as LaFollétte provided: (1) They immediately break with the re- publican or democratic parties issu- ing a specific clear. declaration to this effect; (2) they accept the program of the Farmer-Labor Party in full; (3) they come to the conference ang assume specific obligations to work under full control of the Farmer-La- bor Party; (4) they acept the control of the Farmer-Labor Party over their campaign funds.” LaFollette Sticks With Bosses. LaFollette will not break with the capitalist class; he will not submit to control by the Farmer-Labor Party. Our offer will prove this and show to the masses that our position is n due to partisan ambition, but is a de- sire to prevent the Farmer-Labor movement from becoming a mere bridge in the career of a capitalist politician who will later sell out the masses as has happened many times in the history of the United States. The principal strategical problem of the Workers Party at the June 17th Conference will be, while refusing all co-operation with the LaFollette Third Party movement, to maintain contact with the masses of workers and poor farmers willing to form a Farmer-La- bor Party. In case a split is forced upon the Workers Party hy the Right ‘Wing of the Conference thru the com- plete refusal of our program, the re- striction of the autonomy and inde- pendence of the Workers Party, the expulsion of the Communists, or thru any other reason, every effort shall be made to include the farmer-labor masses in the split. In case 6f a split the question of whether or not the Workers Party shall act altogether in- dependently, in its own name, in the that it is “highly desirable that the Workers. Party, alone or eventually combined with the Left elements of the workers and farmers into one radical Farmer-Labor Party, should make every effort to nominate its own candidates in at least the most impor- tant states containing masses of in- dustrial proletariat and exploited farmers and develop an energetic elec- tion campaign. The Central Executive Committee of the Workers Party of America, Wm, Z. FOSTER, Chairman, c, BH, RUTHENBERG, Executive Secretary. NOTE:—Comrade Hathaway ex- plains that the statement referred to was not written by him but by the chairman of the Committee of Ar- rangements, who is not a Communist, and that it passed thru his hafids election campaign or whether it shall launch a campaign under the name of the Farmer-Labor Party will depend largely upon whether or not it is successful in the split and will depend 6n how far it maintains contact with the working‘ masses represented at the June 17th Conference. 7. The aim to strive at is not to split the Left Wing from the Labor Party as quickly as possible in order to form this split off party into a mass Communist Party. But we must strive at letting the Left Wing grow within the Babor Party and at the same time at taking in its most advanced and revolutionary elements into the Work- ers Party. Establish Bond With Masses. 8. The election campaign of the Workers Party must aim &t broaden- ing the working class basis of the Workers Party, at increasing the movement for Farmer-Labor Party and at establishing a bond with the masses of exploited farmers. 9.

E. C. of the Workers Party after consulting the Communist Inter- national the Executive Committee of the Communist International makes the following statement: The Executive Committee of the Communist International deems it necessary to address itself to the American comrades reminding them of the necessity for harmonious work between the group of Comrade Foster and that of Comrade Ruthenberg. The controversies now prevailing between these two groups are due to the weak- ness of the Party, to the great prob- lems now confronting it and espe- cially to the sitauiotn in which, so far, no other Communist Party had been placed. If the group represented by Comrade Ruthenberg and Pepper has made the mistake of not realizing suf- ficiently the dangers besetting the party on the long path leading to se- curing the co-operation of petty-bour- geois masses, the comrades gathered around the other group, such as Com- rades Hathaway and Cannon, have made a number of declarations which show that in their efforts to secure influence on the petty-bourgeoisie they failed to maintain the Communist po- sition. Only when the Party broad- ens its proltearian basis and clearly develops its Communist character will it be able to secure influence on the masses of the farmers, The Execifive Committee of the Communist International calls the at- tention of the C. E. C. also to the dangerous tendencies signalized by the articles of Comrade Lore and some of his followers who, in their estimation of the problems of the Communist In- ternational, in their estimation of the Labor government of England and of the events in Germany are manifest- ing remnants of views of the Two and a Half International. The C. E. C. must carry on an ideological cam- paign against such a tendency. The Executive Committee of t Communist International,“ \ NEW YORK CITY Party Activities OPEN AIR MEETINGS.

Franklin Bell, military engineer mem- ber of the commission government of the District of Columbia, is chairman of the Mobilization Day arrangements here. In an official statement, urging immediate lining up of the true pa- triots for the goose-step demonstration he says, “The call that has been isgued by the War Department for Defense Day covers males between the ages of 18 and 45 inclusive.

PLAN DRIVE ON BIG FACTORIES First Conference Held Is Big Success By AL SCHAAP, (Special to the DAILY WORKER) City Organizer, Young Workers League, Local Chicago. The first general conference of all officers of the Young Workers League , of Chicago, attended’ also by many militant members, was a success. This conference was called by the Chicago City Executive Committee of the Young Workers League for the purpose of enrolling the entire mem- bership behind the program of action adopted at the last city convention. With the slogan, “Into the Fac- tories,” plans for reaching the young workers were brought before the meeting. Comrade Al Schaap, city or- ganizer, directed the attention of the conference to the campaigns conduct- ed by the Workers Party and the ne- cessity for the membership of the Young Workers League to get behind them. He also pointed to the need of broadening the activities of the or- ganization thru the means of a con- stant house-to-house campaign for membership and subscriptions to the official organ of the league, the Xoung ‘Warker. “Moving” the branches into the vi- cinity of factories was recognized as a method to establish a closer con- tact with youth labor. The question of Mobilization Day and International Youth Day were dis- cussed, and the league will make all efforts to point out to the young work- ers of Chicago the significance of these days. The Young Workers League of Chi- cago will carry on an intensive anti- mobilization week drive, beginning with a mass meeting on International Youth Day, Sept. 7, 8 p. m., in the Northwest Hall, North and Western Aves., and continuing *thruout the week, with-extensive open air meet- ings near factories until Mobilization Day. Thru these activities the Young Workers League will draw to itself the attention of the young workers in this city. A class in “Work of the League” will open shortly inthe month of Sep- tember, The students of this class will be selected from the various branches.
