- Supreme Court Foreshadows } clare that under the capitalist sys- | s | 3 “ superstition and for culture and the “PROGRESSIVES” AS LABOR’S FOES: Raps GOP ‘Prosperity’ | Claims as Lies Continued from Page One Dome? What about Vare and Smith? What about the Ohio gang and the corrupt cabinet in which Hoover sat for eight years? Why) did Sinclair give your son a job! about the time the Teapot Dome in- | vestigation began which he has held | ever since at a fat salary without | doing anything besides being the son of his father? A “Common” Issue. “Between the republican party and the democratic party corruption is no issue. We Communists de-| tem where everything is for sale in- cluding the labor of. children, the writings of editors, the sermons of preachers and the sex of women, the conscience of capitalist politi- cians is no exception. Only the abolition of the accursed capitalist system with its production for sale and profit in place of for social use, will put an end to political corrup- tion.” Curtis’ declaration that America is the richest country in the world and that prosperity is the main issue of the campaign was answered by Wolfe with the demand to know why } the richest country in the world,| made rich by the sweat and blood of its workers, cannot do for its unem- | ployed, aged and injured in industry | what the Soviet Union does. Degeneracy of Socialist Party. The speaker then took up the third | party of capitalism which he de- scribed as of especial significance | in the state of LaFollette and Ber- | ger. He showed how Berger and LaFollette were supporting Smith. He described the degeneration of the socialist party and read from its platform its endorsement of the League of Nations with reservations and the Kellogg Pact. He compared the three capitalist parties on all the major issues of the campaign and showed that there is no differ- ence of a fundamental class charac- ter between them. “Norman Thomas was afraid to mention the name of Eugene V. Debs when he spoke here,” Wolfe reminded his audience, “but disputed with the younger LaFollette who is the inheritor of the tradition of re- peated. betrayal of the masses of workers and working farmers by the elder LaFollette, Let him dispute for the right to be considered the third party of capitalism. Let him dispute with Smith ‘and LaFollette junior for the shady traditions of LaFollette senior. We claim the farter: he dare not claim—the rev- olutionary anti-capitalist vote cast for Eugene V. Debs. Whatever was ‘worthwhile in the Debs tradition we have inherited as the only party of the class struggle.” Religion, a Fake Issue. | The speaker then cited utterances of various local capitalist politi- cians and preachers on the religious issue declaring that it was a fake issue calculated to divide the work- -ers and distract their attention from the main issue, that Smith like Hoover would not take his orders from Rome but from Wall Street, that religion is the opium of the people calculated to distract their attention to “pie in the sky by and by” in place of the problem of mak- ing a better world on earth here and now; that the pacifism of the church was just as dangerous as the pacifism of Kellogg or Norman Thomas in that it told the masses they can end imperialist war and se- cure peace without fighting for it. “We Communists are engaged in a twin struggle on the question—on the one hand a struggle against all forms of prejudice and persecution and on the other a battle against | spread of a scientific understanding of life. Wolfe ended with an exposure of the Kellogg Pact, the significance of the American ultimatum to Eng- land and France and the war plans of the government. He described the invention of new gases and methods of disease germ dissemina- tion, the preparation of the various powers for war on the Soviet Union, the use of government pacifism as a means of war preparation. He called for support of the Workers Party in its struggle against imper- sialist war and its,plans to turn the next imperialist war into a war on behalf of the workers against the bosses for the abolition of imperial- ism and war and the building of a better order of society under the rule of the workers.

The same court before which argument is being made in the New York case today decided both the Los Angeles and a Denver case. The order, issued by Justice Sutherland, was in the form of a denial of the brief of the city of Los Angeles requesting a stay of a lower. court order effect today for 7 cent fare. As in the New York case, the original order for an in ed fare was granted by federal court after the State Railroad Commission had made a nominal refusal of the request. At the same time the same court |denied the city of Denver a review’ | of its case, unsuccessful in the lower courts, to prevent an increased fare being put over there also, as in New York City, in spite of a precise pro- vision of a contract.
