Therein, in} fact, this section of society distinguishes it- self unfavorably from the proletariat; there- in lies the explanation of the intellectuals’ weakness and vacillation from which the proletariat has so often suffered. This pe- culiarity of the intellectuals is indissolubly . bound up with their condition of life and their manner of earning a living, which in many respects approxi- | s to the petty bourgeois manner of existence-——-ORGANIZA- | +p. 149. | The big fact to begin with is that; the slightest beginnings of a Labor Party are lacking. This does not mean that the miners’ union is not in politi Its officials, and to a very large extent the mem-| vership, is head over heels in old party politics. This I learned as I spent the last days before the recent Pennsylvania elections in the hard coal field.

One government bureau has jystified its existence by discov- ering and revealing that the District of Columbia, inhabited chiefly by congressmen, senators, cabinet officials; bureaucrats. of the American Federation of Labor and various government de- partments, including military and naval officials, has the highest hospital rate in the United States for mental disease. First admissions to institutions for treatment of mental dis- ease particularly runwery high. For this the reason is clear. Senators, congressmen and government appointges may be quite successful in concealing their idiosyncrasies in*their home com-|\ munities where the residents have known them from childhood and charitable allowance is made for the mental blind staggers displayed from time to time by elders, deacons, rotary club pres- idents, kiwanis club secretaries andthe boosters of the chamber of commerce. yourself the responsibility of voting for a candidate you do not know.

Yet, I believe, it is the sincere though feeble effort of a worker to raise the banner of his class in the electoral struggle in a strange coyn- try using an infamiliar language. The sentence, “Let this system of slavery be over with!” seems to have slipped in almost by accident. It is almost lost amidst the verbiage usu- ally used by the vote-catching capi- talist politicians who plead for ar “honest vote” while they spend mil- llions to corrupt the electorate, who tain and other imperialist powers against China. This convention re- jects the spurious doctrine that would base the Party’s policies merely on the antagonisms, conflicts, and con- tradictions between the powers of America and Japan, Japan and England, America and England and so on down the line.
