Government Attack Against the Workers A circular letter addressed to the units of the Party by the Central Com- mittee lays the foundation for the election campaign in the following action of the government: “The record of the Coolidge administration In using the governmental Power against the workers and farmers has paved the way for the develop- ment of a new movement for independent political action thru a united front labor ticket or where possible a labor Party. “The capitalist government has used its powers to pass a tax law which turns hundreds of millions of dollars back into the treasuries of the big corporations and multi-millionaires thru relieving them from paying taxes and excess profits taxes on their great incomes. “The government is using its power to maintain its high tariff on necessities, thus enabling capitalist exploiters to maintain exorbitant prices. It manipulates its tariff commission to help the profits of these trusts, as indicated in the case of the sugar trust. “The bluff maintained for many years that the government was fight; ing the trusts thru the Sherman-Anti-Trust law is no longer considered necessary by the big corporations and trusts are openly encouraged and aided by the government. “The government refuses all ald to the farmers suffering from the recurring agricultural crisis, “Laws directed against the organized workers are the order of the day. The railroad workers are to be tied down by legislation which will make it Impossible for them to resort to the right to strike in support of their demands. Similar legislation is proposed for the coal industry. At the same time the government endeavors to enslave the foreign-born workers thru proposals for registration, photographing and finger-printing. “Legislation is proposed to draft the industrial workers in time of capitalist war and thus ensure the success of the imperialist schemes of the great financial overlords of the country. “In the struggle of the workers the government steps in thru its in- junctions, police, courts, as in the Furriers’ strike in New York, and most openly and brutally in the strike of the Passaic textile workers. “These facts written in the record of the governmental activities during the last six months are new evidence that the existing govern- ment is the agency of the capitalists, which uses its power in their in- terests as against the workers.” Put Labor Ticket in Field Instructions of the Central Committee declare further: “The Party must use this situation to develop a powerful movement for independent political action in the 1926 elections. It must be the goal of the Party to place a labor ticket in the field in as many states and con- gressional districts as possible. “The form in which the labor ticket is placed in the field will vary in accordance with the conditions in the respective states and congres- | California Takes t ‘Workers (Communist) Party Social Affairs Resolutions /@ sional districts. There will be three forms in which the party will go into elections: 1, Thru existing labor and farmer-labor parties. 2. Thru placing united front labor tickets on the ballot. 3. By placing Workers Party tickets on the ballot.” Strengthen the Party Simultaneously with the launghing of the party drive to draw labor into the 1926 elections on the basis of independent political action, the party will begin a campaign to strengthen its own organization, + ox During the reorganization of the party a number of former mémbers failed to register and join the new party units, The membership drf¥e' will have as its first objective to draw all of these members back into the ‘party. At the same time, the new party units are instructed to. begin an inten: | sive campaign to win new members in the factories into the shop nuclei and thru the activities of the street nuclei. a . The Party’s Major Campaign ‘ gat The drive to draw the American workers and exploited fatmiers into the election campaign on the basis of independent political action and with the objective of ultimafely crystallizing a labor party will be the major atten- tion of the Workers (Communist) Party during the six months yp to election period. ae The drive for party membership thru which it is expected that the mem- bership of the Workers (Communist) Party will reach a point higher than any time in the past will be continued during the same period. To Raisea Campaign Fund ‘: In order to meet the initial costs of the campaign and for the mobiliza- tion of the party for this work, the Central Committee has levied an assess- ment of 50 cents per member to be paid to the national organization, The party will immediately issue a leaflet and print a special pamphlet both in connection with the election campaign and labor party fight and a propaganda pamphlet to be used in the campaign for new membership.

Last year delegations of adult workers from Great Britain, Germany, Sweden and other countries had an opportu- |nity to see for themselves all the good id bad sides of our constructive work, Jur working class showed their delega- tions everything they wanted to see: factories, schools, hospitals, organiza- tions, prisons, etc. Last year in the month of August the Moscow-Lenin- grad and the central committee of our League invited young workers’ delega- tions from capitalist countries to visit. our country. We have already had visits from young workers’ delegations from Germany, Austria, France, Bel- gium and Czecho-Slovakia. We did not conceal from them either our | achievements or our shortcomings, which are still very serious. The young workers of the Soviet Union lent an attentive ear to these delega- tions’.expression of opinion on our ork. The young workers of the Soviet Union attach the utmost importance to the despatch of such delegations of ‘ir young fellow-workers from the capitalist countries to our country. } } These delegations bear a truthful mes- sige to the young workers of the world concerning the Soviet Union, such as it is, neither extolled nor vilified, the latter being frequently the case when the message comes from the lips of avowed malignant enemies of the pro- letariat. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DE- CISION OF THE SEVENTH CON- GRESS OF THE LENINIST YOUNG COMMUNIST LEAGUE OF THE > VIET UNION, AND ON BEHALF OF 1,700,000 YOUNG PROLETARIANS AND PEASANTS ORGANIZED IN ITS RANKS, WE INVITE YOU, OUR COMRADES AND BROTHERS, ONCE MORE TO SEND YOUNG WORKERS’ DELEGATES TO OUR COUNTRY. Elect them in factories and work- shops, at young workers’ conferences, and in labor organizations. Let them be people of various political tenden- cies; if they are true representatives of large sections of young workers, it they really want to make a careful study of our life and our struggle, we will make them heartily welcome. “The working class youth of the So- viet Union will receive them as hon- ored guests, as labor and class broth- ers, A few months ago the Young Social- ist International, which does its ut- most to prevent the despatch of young workers’ delegations to the U. 8. 8.

I. a dele- gation not elected by the workers in factories and at conferences, but se- lected by the Y. S. I. itself on a purely party basis. Comrades, every conscious worker will be able to put the right interpre- tation on this proposal, A delegation such as proposed by the Y. 8S. I, would be a prejudiced delegation, which purpose of getting to know the truth about the proletarian country, and of disseminating it among hundreds of thousands of young workers. Such a delegation would be nothing but the party tribunal of one party over an- other. This the Young Communist In- ternational fully established in its re- ply to the Y. S. L, and we identify ours selves completely with this reply. Every conscious worker fully realizes that an impartial objective apprecias tion of the position in the Soviet Union can only be given by a delegation i whose composition is not based on the | party principle, but which has been | elected by/large sections of young } workers regardless of party. There; fore, we will not have anything to do with such an avowedly prejudiced and avowedly non-objective delegation. We will have nothing to do with a tribunal of the social-democratic parties over us, We invite the working class youth of the whole world to elect their own delegations, which can consist of rep- resentatives @f all the various political tendencies.
