We wish to} make the following statement: 1, The Young Pioneer Camp was started on the initiative of the Young | Fioneers of America, in 1925, by tak- {ing out to the country 25 children} per group every two weeks. Its rapid growth from 26 chindren to 75 chil- dren per group in 1926, during which |summer we had over 250 children end have had to turn away perhaps | ‘an equal number, has proven that | ja place where workers’ children have | an opportunity to spend their vaca- | | to counteract all anti-labor and mili- | tarist propaganda which these child- | | ren get during the school year; where | workers’ children are permeated with ideals of devotion to the cause of lab- |or, and that the Young Pioneer’ camp charges rates which are low and, within the reach of workers.

The Communist Vote in Passaic. In the official count of the vote in the Passaic election Albert! Weisbord, strike leader and avowed Communist, polled 1,080 votes: The highest vote polled by any candidate was 9,882. For every nine and a fraction votes polled by the most successful of the cap-| italist candidates Weisbord polled one vote. This is by far the most impressive showing yet made by a} candidate approved by the Workers (Communist) Party in any election yet held in this country. To claim, however, that all those} who voted for Weisbord are Communists would be absurd, for the| simple reason that the two other candidates endorsed by the Party were credited with less than half the total number of votes accred- ited to Weisbord. Had they been Communists the vote would have been identical for all three of the candidates. It does prove that the bogey of Communism has no effect upon thousands upon thousands of workers in Passaic. Certainly no one, even republicans and democrats, are so gullible as to im- agine that many votes were not stolen from all the Communist candidates. The very fact that the petty jay bird lawyer who acts-as local prosecuting attorney ruled that the Communist can- didates could not have their own watchers at the polls is convinc- ing evidence of deliberate intent to perpetrate wholesale frauds against the working class ¢andidates. The further fact that less| than one of five of the textile strikers were permitted to vote be-| aq ing i} cause of legal restrictions—many of them live in nearby towns| and therefore cannot vote in Passaic and many of those who do) live in Passaic are not permitted the right of franchise because of barriers erected to prevent them becoming citizens—proves that the vote did not register Communist sentiment. So instead of sentiment being smaller than the vote would indicate, it is much greater. Communist sentiment in Passaic is due almost wholly to the confidence inspired: among the workers of that bleak mill slave town during the great strike, and the fact that the election mani- pulators were forced to record more than a thousand votes for the leader and organizer of that strike proves that Communism has made a lasting impress upon the workers there and that it is now and will in future be the dominating factor in the life of the work- ers of that community. At all times during the campaign and in the preparatory work before the campaign the Communists wanted a united front with all labor so that a straight united labor ticket could be placed in the field against the capitalist candidates. This was sabotaged by the miserable crew in control of the official American Federa- tion of Labor machine, but the showing of the Communists has made the position of these fakers more difficult. Another strug- gle will expose to the workers that those supported by the labor agents of the mill owners are just as bad as the notorious police commissioner, Preiskell, who was defeated for reelection by a de- member of the executive committee of the Kuomintang at the first con- gress of the Kuomintang in 1924.

The widespread flood devastation along the Mississippi river in the South that has driven from their habitations thousands upon thousands of poor whites and blacks who, at best, in normal times eke out a miserable existence raising cotton, has brought insistent demands for a special session of congress to appropriate government funds to relieve the bewildered mass of suffering humanity. Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, that irreconcilable op- ponent of the Coolidge-Mellon-Hoover administration, is making ‘the welkin ring with demands for a special session. Tn a denun- to call a special emergency session to deal with the flood calamity. He declared eleven senators approved such a session and emphat- ically refuted the president’s contention that the government is doing all it can for the refugees. He pointed to the fact that the government, a few years ago, gave $100,000,000 to European suf- terers. Senator Reed displays typical middle class credulity regard- ing the reason for the existence of the government. He holds the fond illusion that capitalist governments exist to protect the in- habitants of their countries, instead of for the purpose of serving the interests of small and powerful ruling classes against all the rest of society.) The American government is the agent of the great bankers ustrialists of the nation and exists for the specific purpose of defending their interests; in short its purpose is to perpetuate inequalities—to maintain the supremacy of the exploiting class against the workers and farmers. It is true that this government did place millions of dollars at the disposal of relief agencies in Europe. That was not for the | purpose, however, of relieving suffering, but of getting a strangle hold on European territory so that the Wall Street bankers could realize profits from their investments. In the devastated flood regions of the South there are no rich rewards to be derived for Wall Street, hence the government remains indifferent to the pitiful pleas of its own people, and confines itself to dispatching Hoover there to ascertain just what possibilities there are for the investment of banking capital. What happens to the tenant farmers, both whites and blacks, who have had their poor belong- ings washed away by the torrential waters, is of no concern to the government. its sole interest lies in the future possibilities of cotton raising and if the present victims migrate to industry new methods of raising cotton will be devised so that the bankers realize the average rate of profit off their investments. If the stricken regions of the South held pgessibilities for the investment of an enormous amount of bank capital and profits could be realized only through aiding the farmers such aid would be forth- coming through a special session. The special session is refused by Coolidge, the servant of Wall Street, because it won’t pay.
