This is the new social erder that the workers’ government of Russia is building today. It is this new economic basis of society that is being created thru the rule of those who toil and produce wealth. Before the Russian workers’ government lies the ideal of a social system which will give to all those who work and toil in Russia, a high standard of lite. The Russian workers want not only food, clothing and shelter, but the opportunity for education, recreation and the establishment of a high culture to all those who are willing to work and serve the new social order, It is this ideal that is being realized in Soviet Russia thru the might of the Russian workers manifested im the dictatorship of the proletariat which rules that country. The Struggle Against Capitalism. The capitalists, the world over, are opposed to the new sogial order that is being built in Soviet Russia. To them it means the loss of their privilege to exploit the workers and amass great wealth for themselves. It is because of this that the capitalist governments have been fighting Seviet Russia. It is because of this that the American captaliste who con- trel the government at Washington are the bitter enemies of Soviet Russia. Soviet Russia is a dagger thrust straight at the heart of world capitalism. It ig because the capitalists of all capitalist countries fear that the workers inspired by the victory of the Russian workers will follow in thefr footsteps that they ere maligning, misrepresenting, lying about the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. It is because they fear that the workers of their countries will organize their power, establish a workers’ government and begin the task of abolishing capitalism and building the Communist se- ciety that they resort to every means to weaken and destroy the Russian workers’ government, 5 The basis of capitalism has been weakened by the World War. The capitalist system is in the period of decline. The capitalists are struggling desperately to rebuild the industrial sys- tem from which they profit. The American capitalists are playing the lead- tag role in this effort. The Dawos’ plan ts their latest effort to restore cant- talism in Durope, Thro this plan the German workers are to be ground down to more bitter poverty, and their eneinvement to be the moans of placing greater burdens upon the werkers of America and the world ever. Down With Capitalism! Workers of the United States! On this seventh anniversary of the triumph of the Russian workers, join with them im the struggle against world capitalism. Youth of the United States! The youth of Russia has gained the oppor tunity to develop in an environment which gives them educational oppee tunities, recreation and culture and does not chain them to the machine at an early age. Jota with the youth of Russia by joining in the strugsie ayainst capitalism. Remember the betrayals of the trade union bureaucrats and social patriots who have allied themselves with the spokesman of the small capi- telista, La¥ellette, to prevent the workers from carrying en their own poli- tical struggles. Leurn the lessons of the Russian revolution. Young Workers! Follow the lead of the revolutionary Russian youth in the organization of the struggle against the bitter exploitation of children, against the menace of new capitalist wars. The Russian workers’ government was established thru the leadership of the Communist Party of Russia. To carry on the fight against capitalism tm the United States there must be a powerful mass political party fighting a revolutionary struggle in the interests of the workers. Fighting with this Communist Party there must be an organization of youth who hold aloft the igeal of the new social order among the young people of the land. The Workers Party of America and the Young Workers’ League of America are fighting the battle against capitalism in this country. Ceme to their aid and join them in the struggle! The Russian workers are marching forward to the new life. LONG LIVH THE WORKERS AND PHASANTS OF THE SOVIET REPUBLIC!

To End War—Dofeat Capitalism. Outposts are necessary to every battle, And if this ts a world strug gle then formidable outports are es- sential in every country, outposts for revolutionary Russia, which steadily grow in strength until they also take power. In a letter dated October 21, 1917, to St. Petersburg comrades, and while still in hiding, Lenin expressed his hopes, yes, his firm conviction, that the greatest sympathy and un- Mmited support of the exploited of the whole world would be assured the Bolsheviki as soon as they took power. And {mn his speech to the Petrograd Soviet on November 7, 1917, he said: “The burning task before us is the liquidation of the world war. But to end the war, it is clear, we must first defeat capitalism. In this the in- ternational working class. movement will help us.” The fond hope which Lenin carried im his heart in those days, the hope for unlimited support from interna- tional labor, has in great part been realized. That Soviet Russia, today, sevei years after its birth, still flies the red proletarian banner attests am- ply to the fact that the great powers, singly or combined, have been unable to again win Russia for the exploiters. Nov. 7 Mass Celebration. And still all of labor is not yet aware of the significance of the Rus- sian revolution. And many of our own circle of the faithful forget at times that the revolution is on and being on requires a courage that knows no hesi- tanoy, apathy or defeat. Therefore: the anniversary of the vietory of the Russian proletariat is given us so that we may, once each year, and far more than upon any other occasion, renew our spirit, our perseverance, our hopes. The seventh anniversary of the Russian revolution is with us. Seventy-five major mass demonstrations have» been organized in this country to win the proletariat for the revolution, to inspire us for it. It becomes the revolutionary task of every comrade to add his every ounce of energy to make the demon- stration in his efty a challenge to the ® mass exploiters, workers, AS WE SEE IT By T. J.

GARBER QUALITY SHOES FOR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN 2427 LINCOLN AVENUB CHICAGO ER Coolidge Wins But the Communists Step Into a Strategic Position By J. LOUIS ENGDAHL. ODAY, LaFollette sits midst the wreckage of his house of cards. His political deals have all gone awry. He set out in his Don Quixote attack on the republican and democratic citadels of Wall Street by attempting the destruction of the Farmer-Labor movement for independent political action of city and land workers. He has ended not in personal aggrandizement, as he expected, but-in his own humiliating defeat. Under the slogan of “Get something now!” his sup- porters from Gompers to Hillquit, promised much. The or- ganization of the class power of labor was held an Utopian dream. The fight of the Communists for the farmer-labor party was anathema to the place hunters of the third party movement. e e s °° LaFollette lives at Maple Bluff Farm; prompting some jokester to exclaim that instead of “Fighting Bob” it should be the “Wisconsin Bluff.” Certainly the LaFollette wreck- age that lies strewn over the land indicates that the Wis- consin senator built a big fire under a boiler with very little water in it. He has carried his own state; perhaps North Dakota. That is all. Coolidge swept Minnesota with its two Farmer- Labor U. S, senators; both LaFollette campaigners. When Johnson and Shipstead betrayed the Farmer-Labor move- ment of Minnesota, especially at the June 17th conference, they threw the doors wide open to republican victory in their state. e ° e ° The corporation lawyer, U. S. Senator Walsh, in Mon- tana, endorsed by LaFollette’s running mate, U. S. Senator Wheeler, as against the Farmer-Labor candidate, is elected. But instead of LaFollette carrying the state, the democratic votes cast for Walsh knifed the LaFollette ticket and went to Coolidge instead. Wheeler double-crossed his own crowd. In turn he was double-crossed. In Illinois the LaFollette campaigners were found at all times clinging to the coattails of Governor Len Small, in company with the Ku Klux Kian. Len Small is re-elected, to be sure, but he carries the state in company with Cool- idge, not LaFollette, The LaFollette total in Illinois will not run far ahead of the highest socialist vote, in the big years, while this year the socialist vote has almost disappeared. In New York City the victory went to Al Smith, for re- election as governor on the democratic ticket; while Cool- idge, republican, carried the state by nearly a million. The Gompers’ labor fakers in New York, spawn of Tammany Hall, crawled aboard Al’s band fh justin time to escape the LaFollette debacle. In New York state, as in Illinois, the LaFollette vote will not run far away from big socialist resulis in the early days of the war. But the New York socialists also suffered disaster. No members of congress. No members of the state legislature. Total obliteration! But one must turn to Wisconsin to witness the big effect of the LaFollette-socialist alliance on the socialist party in that state. Thru his deal with LaFollette, Vic Ber- ger is returned to congress, the lone socialist. But every- where else disaster is visited upon the socialist candidates. The Milwaukee County socialist ticket is beaten. Leo Krzcycki, socialist candidate for the second Milwaukee dis- trict, is defeated for congress, The socialist ticket in the state was running a orippled third, nét within hailing dis- tance of socialist totals cast in the state in previous years. * * . * LaFollette’s joust with the windmill of capitalist politics is therefore featured by three results: First: The Wisconsin senator did not cut into the re- ublican party, as did the Roosevelt insurrection in 1912. At ast reports the Coolidge landslide was running close to the Harding victory in 1920. Wall Street held its pride, the G. O. P., intact against LaFollette’s assaults. Second: If LaFollette won any appreciable middle class. support it came from the democratic party, long a refuge for little business. But even here the LaFollette inroads were not great. Tammany Hall held its own in New York. Tom Taggart lost nothing in Indiana. “Boss”. Brennan held the democrats together in Illinois, in face of defeat. The Solid South remained loyal to the Jeffersons and Jasksons of the donkey party. In spite of many pre-election claims LaFol- lette made not the slightest dent below the* Mason and Dixon line. Third: The bulk of the LaFollette vote without doubt came from workers and farmers who were ready for in- dependent political action. It was this movement that La- Follette and Gompers, Johnston and Stone, Hillquit and Berger, sidetracked into an imaginary “third party” move- ment. Their leadership has brought these masses up against the proverbial stone wall at the end of their blind alley venture. It is be gig this stone wall that the LaFollette “third party” and the, Hillquit-Berger “socialist” party will go to pieces po ar now that the workers and farmers ~ oe completely disillusioned with the passing of Election ay. * * The LeFoliette-Gompers-Hillquit attack on independent political action, with its betrayal into a “third party” move- ment, has given class action of the workers and farmers a big setback. . p But the after-the-election disillusionment must awaken the city and land workers to their real needs. They will get on the right track, They will learn that the Communists were right. They | Will find that the “red baiters” in the labor movement wer | ‘ong. Increased numbers will accept Communist leader- ship. ‘ In this campaign many self-confessed friends of labor were put to the test and found sorely wanting. They were unmasked as labor's worst enemies. The line of demarcation has been drawn as between labor and little business. The workers have won some slight victory in this election if they have learned to cut loose from all political connections with the — social order. Then there will be a great impetus, to the work immediately ahead, of building the class power of all who labor and are. Oppressed under capitalism, ; Coolidge and capitalism won this election.
