Publication of these theses will be continued wn- til completed—_EDITOR) * * * 28. In India a fresh wave of the national revolutionary movement characterized by the independent action of the proletariat (the textile strike in Bombay, the railway strike in Caleutta, the First of May demonstrations, etc.). This new outbreak has its roots deep down in the general conditions of the country. _ The rate of industrialization, which was greatly accelerated in the war and the post-war periods, has now slackened down. The policy of British imperialism retards the industrial development of India and leads to the pauperization of the peasantry and to the divorcement from the land. ‘The attempt by means of petty agrarian reforms to create a thin stratum of well-to-do peasants which is to serve as a prop for the British government and native feudalism—is accompanied by the still further pauperization and increased exploitation of enormous masses of the peasantry. The cruel exploitation of workers, which, in some places, still bears the forms of semi-slavery, is combined with the extreme intensification of labor. In the fight against this barbarous exploitation, the proletariat is liberating itself from the influence of the bourgeoisie and of the re- Seo TUATION AND TASKS OF THE COMMUNISTS formists,—notwithstanding the fact that the trade union apparatus is | still in the hands of the latter. INDIAN PEASANTRY ON REVOLUTIONARY PATH The peasant movement, disrupted in 1922 by the treachery of Gandhi and subjected to cruel suppression by the feudal reaction, is | slowly but surely recovering. The liberal national bourgeoisie—the | leading wing of the Swaraj Party—although compelled by the unyield- | ing attitude of British imperialism to resume their qualified oppositional tactics, are as a matter of fact, notwithstanding all their anti-British demontsrations, seeking a compromise with imperialism at the expense of the masses of the toilers. On the other hand, the whole of the development of India impels the broad masses of the petty-bourgeoisie of town and country, and primarily the ruined and pauperized peasantry, along the path of rev- olution. Only under the leadership of the proletariat will the bloc of workers, peasants and the revolutionary sections of the intelligentsia be in a position to smash the bloc of imperialist landlords and com- promising bourgeoisie, release the agrarian revolution and break the imperialist front in India, The unification of the Communist elements and groups into a strong Communist Party, the organization of the masses of the proletariat in trade unions, a systematic struggle in the trade unions for the ‘complete exposure and expulsion of the social-treacherous leaders—are the es sential tasks of the working class of India and a necessary condition for the mass revolutionary struggle for Indian independence. 29. The revival of the Chinese Revolution and the inevitable inten- sification of the revolutionary situation in India may create an absolutely new world political situation and upset the relative stabilization of the capitalist system. The development of conflicts among the imperialist states, their bloc against the U.S.S.R. and the profoundly acute struggle between imperialism and the colonial world, again and again confirm the correctness of the characterization of the present epoch as, an “epoch of wars and revolution.” 31. The fight against the danger of imperialist wars between capitalist States and imperialist wars against the U. S. S. R. must be conducted systematically from day to day. It will be impossible to con- “yealist-pacifists” about ultra-imperialism and exposure of the rolé pf © the “League of Nations”; continuous publicity on the “results” of the*+ first world war and of the secret military and diplomatic preparatforts* ~ made for it; to fight against pacifism in all its forms and to propa- gate Communist slogans—primarily the slogan of defeat of the “home”? ? imperialist country and the conversion of imperialist war into ctyil= war; work among the soldiers and the establishment of under- ground nuclei; work among the pe such are the fundamental tasks of the Communist Parties in this sphere. . 32.

The Mexican government, both the national Secretary of State and the Customs Service, have reveived from the Mexican customs officers on the frontier statements that there are no less than 200 Mexican fam- ilies without home or resources, on ‘the Mexican ‘side of the line. having been rounded up and forced to leave ‘their homes in the United States on 24 hours notice. They have been driven across the frontier under the allegation that they lacked the neces- sary documents under the U. S. laws. having no passports. It is also stated that the U.

It is essential for the imper- lists’ plans that the women should be inspired with enthusiasm, with sacred seal, not only to sacrifice | their men on the battlefield. but also personally to give their all for the “stars and stripes” in the shape of |slaving long hours in the factories, speeding-up and sweating to rush out munitions orders, risking life and limb in dangerous manufacture \of shells and chemicals, ete. The working class must snatch its women from the imperialists’ poi- |sonous ¢mbrace. It must win the women so that their heroism and de- | votion will be all for the working \class. There must be won over at} ‘once, in each war-time industry, at jleast a group of women workers who understand the nature of the ‘mper- italist markets and capitalist prof- lits, who will rally and organize the |cther women around them so that in itime of war the women producers |will strike and will refuse to turn cut war materials for the govern- ment. The women must be won over so that they will join in the struggle of the whole working class to turn the imperialist war into a civil war | between the exploited and the ruling classes, to turn the arms in the |workers’ hands, not against the workers of other countries, but against the employers of the home country. | This is not a task of the dim fu- ture, it is the task of today. Every day brings new signs of the quick approach of the next world war. War industries are uniting in huge, vastly powerful super-trusts (Gen- eral Motors combined with U. S. Steel and DuPond Powder; chemical combines, “intelligence” combines of telegraph and radio, etc.). The rationalization drive, which the employers, faced with the bit- terest competition in other countries for the colonial markets, must enter into increasingly in order to put their industries in the most effi- cient and economical shape possible, goes on apace. Weak firms and uneconomical factories are elimin- ated; workers’ organizations are exploitation is increased by speed- up and wage-cuts; technical organ- ization of industry is improved; pro- ductive processes become simple and \jalist war as a struggle only for cap- | |composition, but which are active ‘among the working class women, winning them over for Americaniza- tion, for the stars and stripes, for jhome and country, for Hoover and |war. Among these are the National Women’s Party, the Federation of Women’s Clubs, the National Coun- jcil of Jewish Women, the League of | Women Voters, the Women’s Inter- national League for Peace and Free- dom, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the Young Women’s Christian Association, etc. The Conference on the Cause and Cure of War, recently held in Wash- ington, composed of delegates from ten national womens’ organizations, is an example of the apparatus used | during a pre-war period to keep the |women mobilized and in fighting \trim, “peace.” This conference endorsed \the Kellogg anti-war pact.

It |ference was called only to. help in \the throwing out of the smoke screen of pacifism in which so many agen- \cies are employed in the present | period. That the working women of this country are now aroused to the war danger was proved by the presence in Washington cf a group of a dozen working women representing work- ing class women’s organizations with a total of 100,000 members in dif- ferent parts of the country. These women were there to protest against the preparations for imperialist war and against the women’s peace con- ference as part of these prepara- tions. The women succeeded so well that they nearly broke up the first meeting of the conference. Their picketing demonstration brought out the slogans of defense of the Soviet Union, organization of the working women to fight the war danger, fight against wage cuts, speed-up and unemployment and exposed pacifism as the fig leaf of imperial- ism. The’ work begun by this confer- ence must be energetically pressed forward. The working women’s or- ganizations throughout the country must be systematically organized to fight war. Furthermore, the fight must be carried through them into every factory, mill and workshop. monotonous, women and youth in- creasingly replace men.

In 1920 there were 70,000 | women in steel plants and 35,000 in jother metal industries and some | \5,000 in the auto, Since then the women have multiplied nearly four times in the auto industry and prob- ably as much in the others. In the auxiliary war-time industries, such as food and clothing, very large numbers of women are employed. In the textile there are 500,000, in the needle trades 300,000 and in the food industry 200,0000. These are the in- dustries in which it is of the highest importance to organize the women, not of course separately as women, but as part of the whole section of the working class in these indus- tries. The working class must take as its slogan: Not a single woman worker, not a single worker’s wife, for the imperialist war.

We demand im- mediate punishment of the authors and instigators of the crime, and we declare that no vulgar assassins can terrorize the proletariat which will continue to march forward.” The committee, addressing Mexi- can labor as a whole, calls upon it to demonstrate by their united force ;that they join the proletariat of Cuba and of the world, in sorrow at} the loss of Mella and in class anger at his assassins. ‘Modern Surgery Plans ito Graft on ‘Artificial | ‘Limbs on Legless Girl) up for discussion at the party con: | CHICAGO, Jan. 21 (UP). five-year-old girl, who was born | Without legs and one arm, may run and play like other children if Uni. iversity of Illinois College of Medi- icine surgeons are successful in a | series of operations by which they ‘hope to graft the girl’s lower mus- icles to artificial legs.

BAKU, USSR, (By Mail).—The output of the Grozny Oil Trust for the year 1927-28 is estimated at 3,442,000 metric tons, a record for the Grozny region. There was also produced 16,000 metric tons of gas. Electric power was introduced to a great:r extent during the year. There are only 50 steam engines now operating in the Grozny fields as against 270 electiic motors, § By FRANK HENDERSON, At the present time when the young workers play such an impor- tant role in the labor movement and our entire country is going thru an intensive campaign to militarize the |youth and prepare the young work- ers for another world war—sports and sport organizations gain signi- ficance in their use by the bosses to mobilize the young workers into the camp of the bourgeoisie. Sports are important first, because it is a part of the general military tem and training, and second, be- cause sports are used directly to increase the exploitation of the young workers on the industrial field. In recent years there has been a marked increase in sports activity and sport organizations. (Record crowds, gate receipts and increase in sport grounds and buildings.) In connection with the increase in sports can be noticed the introduc- tion of military training in public schools, which is mixed with sports. Military training and gymnasium classes are conducted at the same time. During gym classes students are put thru military drills. (Mili- In manner sports and military are interwoven and the mili ristie ideology is built thru sports. Outdoor Sports. tary formations, marches, etc.) this What takes place inside the schools is nothing compared with |outdoor sports. (Football, soccer, | baseball.) It is thru these outdoor sports that patriotism and militar- ism are introduced. One has but to watch a big football game to! witness the waving of flags to the tune of milita music is usually furnished by the National, Guards, CMTC, and Boy Scout bands. An example of the grip of bourgeois sports and the utilization of sports to further militarism is the college and night school parades streets prior to the open- sport events. These par- ades are led by police, companies of the National Guards, CMTC offic: and Boy Scouts, who march to mili- tary musie, The display of flags and sound of music stirs the public and the entire city is affected by these demonstrations. There hardly a sport game played in the U. S. that does not have a patriotic and militaristic atmosphere con- | nected with it. The bourgeois press and periodi- cals play their part too. Space and |Pietures are given to propagate militarism by calling for recruits to join the Y. M. C. A, C. M. T. C., Boy Scouts and other fascist organ- izations, Build better bodies. U. S. army wants men, These are the| slogans used in many advertise-| ments. Sports in Boy Scout camps, Cc. M. T. C. camps, army, marines and the navy are well advertised.) Billboards and advertisements for ecruits into the army and the navy | show sailors and soldiers enjoying themselves and engaged in sports of all kinds. The utilization of sports| |by the military authorities is one of | | the best attractions to get the youth | |into military service. The ex- | marine Gene Tunney, former world’s eavyweight boxing champion, is jointed out as an example of what) the marines can do for the youth.| This is the honey that military au-) | thorities use to get swarms of young | workers into the clutches of their, masters. When the young man joins | the service he expects fun, play and} |sports. What he gets is misery,! suffering and death. | On the industrial field sports play | |a role that perpetuates the exploita-| tion of all workers. Sports and) sport organizations are used by the| employers and state authorities to| organize factory and official sport clubs in order to hinder the devel- opment ofthe class consciousness of the young workers. Also to draw the young workers from working class organizations. This is done in many ways. The employers have the financial resources whereby they can establish the dependence of the workers on the bosses for sport} equipment, sport grounds, ete, Not only that but players are paid wages while engaged in sports and good/ jobs and guarantee against lay-off is Jers even after working hours and make them inactive in class orge izations, diverting them from the el struggle. In this way the em- ployers boost the bourgeois sport movement and weaken the labor moyement generally and the work- ers’ sport movement in particular. having company spor tors and coaches the bosses their ideological influence ov the workers. Company sport teams are the elementary step for class collab- on resulting in company sport Ss, newspapers, welfare schemes. Company sports are a general part of the system of training to extend their exploitation of the workers and get recruits for factory f cism—thugs, guards, spies, etc. read But all this has not been left un- challenged by the workers. Bour- s have been challenged by proletarian sports and the work- ers have declared war on the sports of the bo The. workers are realizing the vicious influence of bosses’ sports and the value of work- ers’ sports.
