(Resolution of Polburo of Central Committee Communist Party U.S.A. - 12, 1930) March 1, The demonstration on International Unemployment Day on March 6 in the United States was an event of major importance in the revolutionary movement in this country, and was a historic event in ihe life of the Communist Party of the U.S. This demonstration, a part of the world-wide movement called by the Communist International and the Red International of Labor Unions, reflected all economic and political antagonisms of U. S. capitalism, threw a new light on the correlation of struggling class forces in the U. S., its political parties and groups, clear- ly showed the main line on which class struggle develops. It was also the high-point of the rising tide of the revolutionary proletarian move- ment in the U. S., the measure of the considerable political influence of the Party among the large masses, and it was a U.S.A. has become an important factor in the political life of the coun- try, has become a Party organizing and leading large masses. 2. As one part of the international action of the Comintern, the demonstration in the U. S. took on truly national dimensions, extending to all parts of the country and to scores of cities and towns. It was a great extension and deepening of the developing counter-offensive of the working class shown in the world-wide anti-war demonstrations of last August 1. Its extent was unprecedented in the U. In New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Boston, Philadelphia, Pacific Coast, and many other places, there were demonstrations unheard of in the history of the American labor movement in modern times, mob- ilization of the masses hardly seen since the Jast quarter of the 19th century (Pittsburgh, since the strike of 1877). In many places demon- strations were held for the first time (as the South). Tremendous mobilization was witnessed in small industrial cities (Youngstown, Can- ton, Providence, Buffalo, Newark, Paterson, Milwaukee, etc.). One can estimate that the Party mobilized und gans throughout the country between one million and one and a quarter million workers. Special features of the demonstrations were, the heroic fighting spirit of the masses struggling against bourgeois forces; wide participation of Negro workers, many taking a leading part. (Wash- ington, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis), Testimony of the enemy as to the extent of the demonstration is shed by the bourgeois press. The New York Telegram characterized them in the following wor “Not in modern times has New York seen such a battle.” The New York Times pointing out the “serious and sobering aspect” of the March 6 demonstration says: “Communists all over the U. S. shewed their teeth on Thursday. . . the Communist manifestations on Thurs- day in extent and virulence are something new in the U. S.” 8... The March 6 demonstration was a common mass counter of fensiye of the unemployed and employed American workers of a clearly defined-political. character...It was an action of\over one million Amer- ican workers under the guidance of the Communist Party and. revolu- tionary trade unions against the capitalists, the capitalist state, its government and its apparatus of class oppression, against the whole capitalist system in crisis, the most striking manifestation of which— unemployment~-was only the starting point of this action. The largest masses demonstrated and fought under and for the political slogans of the Party directed against the bourgeois state, government, social-fas- cist lackeys, against the imperialist w: for defense of the Soviet Union, ete. This tremendous political significance of the demonstrations is also recognized by the bourgeoisie thruout the country. The chief organ of the American bourgeoisie, the New York Times, for the first time, spoke in connection with the March 6 demonstration, about “fears” that “anything like the dictatorship of the proletariat can be set up in this country,” and tried to reassure the bourgeoisie that “armed attempts to do it would be overwhelmingly and mercilessly put down,” 4, As regards the immediate scope of the demonstration, is suc- cessfully brought the issue of unemployment square into the center of the political life of the country into the center of the class struggle in the United States. The demonstration proved that unemploy i not only the economic consequence and manifestation of the crisis American capitalism, but is also a tremendous social factor deepening and extending this crisis. Even before the March 6 demonstration the political campaign of the Communist Party obliged the bourgeois and its social-reformist ideologists, which had been denying thru its governmental spokesmen even the existence of unemployment, to recog- nize it as the major economic and political issue, thus further exp the myth of “prosperity.” The demonstration placed a tombstone the grave of Lovestone’s theories of American exceptionalism, of the “Vietorian Age” of prosperity, his denial of the radicalization of the American working class. It showed up the ridiculous character of th counter-revolutionary slanders of the right wing and Trotzkyite rene- gades (Lovestone and Cannon groups) about the “degeneration” of the Comintern and the American Party. 5, The confirmation of the major political character of the March 6 demonstration is furnished by the political character of the attacks upon the workers before, during and after the demonstration, by the united front of the capitalist class, state government, police, courts. and its social-fascist lackeys of the A.I’.L. and socialist party and the | renegades from Communism. Already before the demonstration, the vice-president of the A. F. of L., Woll, came out with a program of fascist smashing of the unemployment movement and its organizers and leaders, the C. P., furnishing the bourgeoisie with a full fascist armory of ideological weapons for the attack. The liberal defenders of capitalism represented in the Civil Liberties Union, came out wih a shameful praise of Mayor Walker’s pre-demonstration demogogica! “promise” of democratic riches for the workers thus justifying and blessing in the name of democracy the police clubs and gas bombs, al- ready prepared against the workers’ demonstrations as violators of “democratic order.” The renegades jonied in the united front with the slanderous slogan of “Communist putsch.” The bourgeoisie met the demonstration with measures of civil war, mobilization of all police forces and reserves, state and federal troons, machine guns, gas bombs. Hundreds of wounded and arrested thruout the country, such was the answer of the capitalists to the demands of the unemployed for Work or Wages.. In Chattanooga, Tenn., white and Negro workers, arrested before the demonstration, were railroaded immediately to the chain- gang. On the eve of March 6 the socialist party, thru its secretary, came out with an appeal to the working class to look toward President Hoover to solve their problems of unemployment and starvation; an appeal which Hoover answered the next day with gas bombs thrown amongst the unemployed before the White House. After the battle of March 6 the socialist party, thru its spokesman, James Oneal, 1 cized the fascist attacks of the police and because they “gove publicity for the Communists,” thus proposing to the bourgeoisie more subtle and masked forms of attack against the unemployment movement or- ganized and led by the Communist Party. When the bourgeoisie. parallel with its open fascist attack against the unemployment move- ment, began to maneuver with demogogical relief promised, the socialist party immediately jumped into the breach with its contribution in the form of a fake Unemployment Council to harness the unemployment movement to the capitalist political machine. 6. One of the immediate results of the March 6 demonstration is a rapid sharpening of the class struggle in the United States, and growing counter-offensive of the workers. The wholesale arrest of the leaders of the C. P. and of the unemployment movement (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.), plans of deportation by “shiploads” of foreign-born workers, “cleansing” of shops, fastories, schools, offices, from revolutionary workers, Communists, .and even their children, are undoubtedly symptoms of growing fascization of the state and sharp- (Continued on Page Three) proof that ‘the C.P. | its economic and political slo- | RED TROOPS OF “CHINA, SPREAD Communists Guerrilla, Armies Occupying Many Districts | | Soviet Meet May 30th) 'German Communists War on Young Plan (Wireless By Inprecory) SHANGHAI, March 13,—The Communist guerrilla military move- ment centered in Kiangsi province, is spreading to Southern, Central | and Northern provinces.

Foster, Robert Minor, Israel Amter, Joseph Lesten and Harry Ray- mond, last night issued the following statement: “A callous example of the rank methods of dealing out capitalist class justice to the committee elected by 110,000 workers at the Union Square unemployment demonstration was given today when this com- mittee discovered virtually by jaccident that our names had |been put upon the calendar to |be called for pleading today, | without even any notification to our attorneys. The corrupt machine of |New York capitalist government then proceded to put our names on the calendar again for tomorrow morning at such a time as would be jcalculated to keep us in court pre- jeisely at the hour when the Board |of Estimate of New York is sched- uled to hold a fake hearing, are only jtoo anxious to see that the commit- |tee elected by the biggest demonstra- | tion of workers ever held in New York, should be barred from attend- ance. This is a logical sequel to the previous steps of Whalen, Walker and Co., who first answered the de- jmands of the unemployed with night- sticks and cavalry charges and an- swered again by arresting the elect- ed spokesmen of the unemployed workers, when these spokesmen ap- peared with a written petition to our timid little mayor. This committee nevertheless will arrange to be at the Board of Estim- ate session tomorrow and to present in the name of 100,000 unemployed New York workers the demands which were adopted at Union Square a week ago. Although we must be jin court at 10 o'clock, as nearly as | possible when the Board of Estimate | meets at 11 o'clock Friday morning, | the members of the delegation, Fos- ter, Minor, Amter; Lesten and Ray- |mond will be there and will speak for the unemployed. It is our duty to discharge the trust placed in us by the unemployed workers, in. spite of the fact that we are perfectly |well aware that the Board of Es- | timate, which represents precisely |the same capitalist class as do | Whalen and Walker, will do precise- ly nothing for the unemployed but will do everything to assist in the further starvation of these workers the attempted suppression of thei meetings and the jailing of thei elected spokesmen. We will presen: the demands in the knowledge tha the rejection of them will help to open the eyes of many thousand: of workers who still suffer with il- |lusions to the effect that the capi |talist class dictatorship of New York |City and of the United States is no. a capitalist class dictatorship. “This committee, at the Board of Estimate meeting, will call attention to the fact that on the same day jas the New York demonstration, there were demonstrations in al! cities of the United States and of thc world, the demonstrations in Amer- ican cities having been participated in by more than 1,000,000 workers. Serious economic reports show that fully 7,000,000 workers are unem- | ployed in the United States and |neither Whalen’s cossacks nor Hoov- jer's Washington police who threw |gas bombs at women and children in Washington on March 6 can stop the swelling demand of the Ameri- can workers for Work or Wages. | Economic reports show that condi- tions are getting worse and not bet- ter. To the army of unemployed there are being added more. than 200,000 new unemployed workers every month. The capitalist system of production only for the profit of a parasite class, being upheld by a capitalist dictatorship of the same class, will have to answer to its victims for this situation. “This commitiee, which the cap- italist government intends. to rail- road to prison in the effort.to still the voice of the unemployed,. now learns that the plan of Whalen and Crain and the bankers who give them their orders is to railroad this’ committee to the penitentiary in the briefest possible time in the hope of getting this dirty job done be- fore the movement reaches even larger mass proportions, We learned today that we are to be called to (Continued on Page Two)
