FOLLIES | in calm as in storm, the socialists sing the songs of the enemies of labor and aid the bourgeoisie in its fight against the working class. Surely the advanced section of the working class of New York and of the entire country who have witnessed the long struggle for Sacco and Vanzetti has long ago realized the fact thot the burden of the fight fell upon the Communists and that 7 every ounce of energy and resources that we could mobilize was | thrown into the fight. So determined were we to conduct the fight with all means at our command that we exerted every pos- siole effort, often publishing thousands upon thousands of covies of The DAILY WORKER for the purpose of giving wide- spread publicity to this case. Today, the day of the arrival of the ashes cf Sacco and Vanzetti in New York, we are compelled | to appeal to our readers and supporters to come to the aid of The DAILY WORKER so that we can continue the fight and emphasize our denial that the Sacco and Vanzetti case is not now elcsed and will never be closed until the working class, under the leadership of the Communists has definitely settled matters with the capitalist class and all its agents whether appearing officially at the head of police departments or disguised as socialist leaders. American Communist Party Convention The fifth convention of the Workers (Communist) Party will) be held in New York City this week. It has been two years since the last convention; two years during which events of yorld-shaking importance has occurred; two years in which the situation confronting the working class has become vastly more complicated. The imperialist powers are madly driving forward to a new war against the Soviet Union and are now waging war against the Chinese revolution, while at the same time endeavoring to crush every semblance of militancy on the part of the working classes in the home countries. Around the question of the imminence of another world war that will be far more devastating will revolve the decisive policies that will be adopted at the convention of the Party. The war of break-up of the British Empire asa result of declining production and trade and then reaching the same conclusion from an estimate of the result of increased production. HE TIMES says: “It is only a few years since Trotsky in his ‘Whither England’ proved conclusively from the declin- dpne for.

D° ‘SS The Times contend that this bitter struggle, which induces first one and then the other competitor to deal with the workers and peasants ;government of the Soviet Union, tends to stabilize’ the British Empire, the capitalist system as a. whole, or make more remote the danger of war, merely because production of oil and the market for it is expanding? Or is. there a direct connection be- tween this titanic struggle, the Gen- eva conference and the evident in- tention of both Great Britain and the ) United States governments to in- the first loan of its kind ever made) |to the Austtralian government—was | floated in 1925. ; } In the light of the important facts | jlisted above it is clear that The} | Times faces a continual contradiction: | | It must either admit that imperial- | ok war is caused by and fought for | the conflicting interests of the caj | talists and thereby discard the fiction | |of the high spirtual motives which | to ultra-modern plays, perhaps the by American financiers—$75,000,000 | most famous will be the Reinhardt} pm. s. moss’ | | adaptation of “A Midsummer Night’s| Refrixeratea Dream.” Other plays will be “Dante’s Death,” “Love and Intrigue” and “A Servant of Two Masters.” “CHANG” Tremendous Thriller —Mirror and “: in n*the Chaves Chapliz Rink?

I have clipped them from The “DAILY WORKER,” 33 First Street, | New York City. In the three short years of its exist- ence, The “DAILY WORKER” has proved itself to be the only American newspaper within the boundaries of the U. S. that really deserves the support of the’ American working) class. It is a true representative of the common people, always fighting its demagogic plutocratic enemies, never afraid to fight capitalist’ in- justice, and is always ready to cour- ageously lead the struggle for the in- terests of the American workers. Your paper, on the other hand, maintained, together with all of the other Hearst papers in‘the country, a/ most cowardly, hypocritical, and Sacco-Vanzetti case. Of course, we workers, who must toil with the sweat of our brows and with the shed of our blood, cannot expect anything more from a puppet newspaper of the American robber ruling class, 1 have read your paper for the last six years thinking it would always fight for the interests of us and of our kind, But NO, I have been dis-- illusioned and frustrated. The Sacco- Vanzetti case has shown me the con- trary. Your paper is only one of the intellectually-prostituted press -of American capitalism. Your paper is absolutely unreliable; and incapable of voicing the truth because of the class that it represents, If Mr. W. R.
