Dear Editor: Detroit, Mich. Just a few words about conditions here in Detroit. The bosses are figuring out new plans to cut down on the Welfare Dept: They say that lots of people are getting help that don’t need it. penge, so the greedy bosses can I went to the Welfare last week and asked for help. told them I had a wife and thr eat and nothing to wear but o told me to put my application in and they would be right out to investi- gate. ‘That was on Monday and I did not have anything to eat. I waited until that Wednesday and they had not come down yet, so I went back and they told me don’t worry they} were coming out right away. No Food In House, / I told them that I had nothing to eat. But the only answer I got was don’t worry we will be right out. So I wrote the mayor three letters about it and he refused to even answer the letters. That shows plainly that the That's the lies they are telling so to cut down ex- rake in more profits. I ee children and had nothing to nly what I had on. And they mayor is doing everything possible to help the damn greedy grafting bosses to rake in their profits. Fellow-workers, how long are we going to stand for this. Are we going to sit still and watch our wives and children starve in this rich country where there is plenty? No. Let's show these damn bosses if they don’t give work to do they are going to have a hard time try- ing to make us starve. —From a colored worker who is ready for anything to better our conditions. Reading Unemployed Council Fights Evictions Dear Editor:— Reading, Pa. I became a member of the Unemployed Council of Reading. I am very much interested in the work of the council and I am going to stick to the finish if it takes to the end of my life, This council over here in Reading has a bunch of good workers. Mayor Stump of Reading said he would be glad to hear all complaints of everybody that was disatisfied but I know that it is bunk because I myself went to seee him, All the satisfaction I could get from his secretary was that they can’t do anything for me. AIL T get is $4 a week, sometimes that has to last 9-10 days. Children Hungry. My children don’t haye anything half of the time and me and my wife-eat about 3 days a week. I had my gas and electric turned off and they wanted to put me out on the street. My wife and children sat in the room freezing. Then I heard of the Unemployed Council and I joined it, It started to get results. We had a yery fine demonstration over here and if we didn’t get nothing off the mayor we sure made a wonderful name for the Uenmployed council..We had so many people in the hall that they had to stand in the street and since then the Council got busy and I got fixed up in a better room and my gas and electric back again.Jobless Worker. Unemployment Worse In New Haven, Conn. New Haven, Conn, bill since nine months ago. Whey Dear Comrade:— I ain't even got a change of clothes Unemployment getting worse, the workers here are-beginning to talk. We hear pitiful stories fram the work- ers and its a dam shame that the Unemployed Council of New Haven does not act, In talking to a worker today he said “I ain’t much of a politician but I know when my. belly’s empty its time we started to do something about it.” Now out of every ten workers you meet eight. will fight for a job and a real meal. One was say- ing to me in answer to my inquiry money bell and haven't seen a $1.00 because they are in the laundry and I can’t get them out. In Debt Now. I work two days and before I even had a chance to decide what to do with it all, those that I woned were there to collect. I got $6.80 for two days and I owe $160.00 so how can I decide it and still eat. The Unemployed Council of New Hayen had better wake up and do some work among the workers here or the first thing you know they will do it without them—A. B. “Conditions Continue Sacramento, Cal. Daily Worker:— Conditions continue to get worse in California. The state printing office has laid off fifteen employees, The Travelers Hotel has cut wages from $17.50 a week to $15, Their employ- ees work fourteen hours a day with no overtime, One of the biggest grocery stores in Sacramento closed February Ist said they could not make expenses. That threw more workers out of a job. The Cascade Laundry, a big laundry is very near out of business.

The capitalist papers talk about the people in the drouth stricken states starving to death. There was no drouth in California yet there are thousands of people starving.

While group enues new allies, even more open enemies of the working class, for their counter-revolutionary activities, indi- vidual members of the group, espe- cially those who are closer to the proletarian masses, are begining to break through their factional .blind- ness, are beginning to see the counter revolutionary line of the renegades, and their own actions, beneath the cover and pretense of revolutionary phrases, and are beginning to seek a way back into the ranks of the revo- lutionary class struggle and its van- guard, the Communist Party. When they come to the point of making applications for re-admission, as in the case of Joe Judson-and Morris Nemser, whose statements ap- pear herewith, the Central Control Commission of the Party deals with | each application separately, and| makes decisions in accordance with the findings and circumstances. In the case of Joe Judson—while the Central Control Commission is aware of the facts that he took a leading part in the struggle against the Comintern decisions in 1929, with the Lovestone delegates in Moscow and also here in the U.S. A., after his expulsion and return, yet, con- sidering that he is a young worker and that hg appears to have fully re- covered from his factional blindness, the Central Control Commission has decided to re-admit him into the Party on the conditions that he shall work under the direct supervision of the District Bureau of District 2, (New York) and he shall not hold any offices for one year. Tn the case of Morris Nemser,—in view of the fact that he was a mem- ber of the Centrol Control Commis- sion at the time of his alignment with the Lovestone renegades and expul- sion from the Party, in which ca- pacity it was his special- task and inviolable obligation and duty to pro- tect and defend the Comintern and the Party fro mall enemies; that he not only criminally failed in the task and duty, but actually did everythin- he could for the counter-revolutionary Lovestone group, taking a leading ac- tive part in their fight against the Party and the Comintern, raising the renegade pathetic to the Party; in view of all. this, the Central Control Commission has decided that for the next six months he shall be permitted to work in one of the mass organizations of the revolutionary class struggle, and that after that time he shall be re- admitted, if during this probationary period, by his deeds, by his conduct and activities he will prove his Com- munist integrity. CENTRAL CONTROL COMMISSION blue telus PARTY OF THE USA. STATEMENT OF JOE JUDSON: ° Central Control Commission of the In its application of the Leninist | line laid down by the Sixth World Congress and by the Tenth Plenum, which extended and elaborated the same line to meet the needs of the rapidly changing conditions, the Communist International was con- fronted with the organized interna- tional Right Wing. Resistance to the carrying out of the line took on var- An imperative necessity to meet the needs of the new situation by all sections of the Comintern was the cleansing of all elements who were totally foreign to Communism, or who became panicky in the face of new problems, and were unable to evaluate in a Leninist manner the changed economic and political situa- tion, an‘organic part of the Inter- national Right Wing in the U.

The new conditions placed gfeater responsibilities upon the Communist parties. prerequisite to meeting the needs of the new conditions was the | Belshevization process that has ‘been going on in all sections of the Com- gress. .In the United States this process was started by the Comintern address to the membership of the} American Party. The counter-revo- | lutionary character of the Lovestone renegades was first shown in their struggles against this address, Having been a supporter of the |Lovestone faction within the Party for a nufber of years—completely permeated with opportunist ideology beth as regards perspectives for the Party and its role in the present period, and also on organizational questions, I totally misunderstood the Purpose of the Address. My inter- pretation of it was factional—there- to separate the interests of the group from the Party.

I was completely obsessed with face tionalism; this obscured my vision and made absolutely impossible a study of the situation objectively. In | short, my attitude and reaction to the Address was that of a petty bour- | Beois, | My unlimited support of the rene- | gades and their views placed me out- pletely now endorse my expulsion and consider it fully justified. Tolerance of Right opportunist views such as those held by me were certainly in- compatible with membership] in a Communist Party, and would be tan- tamount to liquidation of the. Com- munist Party organizationally and theoretically. The political basis determining the group is the Theory of Exceptional- ism: over-estimation of the strength of U. S. imperialism and under-es- timation of the process of radicali- zation of the masses, This premise explains all their opportunist conclu- sions and anti-Communist and anti- working class actions. Starting out as the “banner bearers” of the Sixth World Congress, the Lovestone rene~ gades traveled with an accelerated tempo into the swamp of oppor- tunism and counter-revolution. It is |no accident, as has been repeatedly | pointed out by the Party, that the Lovestoneites will become an integral part of the Muste movement. This is an established fact. The answer of all class-conscious and revolution- ary workers is to rally around the |Communist Party in a merciless | struggle against these | peddlers” and enemies of the work- ing class. |. During my stay in the Soviet Union Right Opposition in the Communist pParty of the-Soviet Union, At that time the C. P-S, U. had undertaken a campaign, as part of the Five Year Plan, and to guarantee the success of it, to liquidate the Kulaks as a class. The Party met with gteat re- sistance from the Kulaks. This had | its echo in the Party through the | formation of the organized Right Wing Opposition under, the leader- ship of Bucharin, Tomsky and Ry- | kev. The political basis for my sup- | port of their views lay in my fear | that this campaign would create a | breach between the city and the vil- lage, Subsequent events have fully | shown the falseness of such a view and the absolute correctness of the | position of the Russian Party Cen- | ral Committee, both in its agrarian | ae industrial policy. The Rights | have been shorn of their support and | liguidated organizationally and theo- retically. The C, P, 5. U. is going forward in spite of all obstacles and oppositions to the successful achieve- ment 9f the Five Year Plan in four years. Nor will the combined un~- principled bloc of the “Left” and the Right retard this progress. The present world situation has confirmed the, correctness of the analyses and perspectives formulated by the Sixth World Congress and the Tenth Plenum. I nview of this I have completely and unequivocally broken with the Lovestone renegades organizationally and ideologically. I repudiate and condemn statements | issued by me in Moscow, Especially | do I condemn my conduct in propa- gandizing all comrades with whom I came in contact last summer, and viciously struggling against the Party, of which I had been a member since its inception. In severing my con- nections with the Lovestone rene- gades I call upon all workers, who may yet be misled, to repudiate these enemies of the Soviet Union and the working class and join with the only Party capable of leading the | American workers to the final over- throw of the bourgeoisie, On this basis I appeal to the Cen- tral Control Commission for read~- mission, understanding fully the re- §ponsibilities of a Party member.

I helped to raise funds for the Revo- lutionary Age, which was and is slandering and attacking the Party, in an open counter-reyolutionary way, I wsa a leading agent in the So-called Section Four of the Love- stone group in the struggle against | the Party.” I helped to b organizations in opposition to the | Party. I helped to destroy the Har-| lem Tenants League. This was be-| fore I began to realize the opportunist | counter-revolutionary character of this group. via ‘While the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was engaged, a year} ago, in a bitter fight against the| righ twing opposition to the Five-| Year Plan, the Lovestone group sided with the opposition and with all re- | actionary forces, using the capitalist | press for statements of slander and| open attack against the’ Soviet Union and against the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. I opposed this in- defensible action of the group, At the time when the Indian mass- es weret engaged in open revolt} against British imperialism, the Love- | stone group came out in full sup- port of Gandhi, who is a spokesman | of the national bourgeoisie of India | and an enemy of the workers and) peasants. Here again I opposed the | anti-Communist statements of the group. ‘When the Lovestone group openly | advocated the merging with the counter-revolutionary Trotskyites and other groups in a united front against the Party and the revolutionary trade unionss; when it advocated the policy of liquidating the Trade Union Unity League and of going back to the re-| reactionary fascist ‘unions, I called upon the fe wmisled workers to go back to the Party at all cost. Now, however, I realize that I should have immediately made an open break with the renegade group and un- conditionally tried to go back to the Party. T healize that the program and line of the Party and the Comintern are correct. In applying for read~- mission into the Party, I catefori- cally state that I repudiate all my activities and everything done by me against the Party and I absolutely dissociate myself from the Lovestone group. I pledge myself t ocarry out the line and program of the Party and to mercilessly fight against the Love~ stone group and all enemies of the working class and the Comintern, Realizing the responsibilities that fall upon me for the grave errors and my past anti-Party activities, I wish to state that I am ready to accept any work the Party may choose to put me into, and to continue witn all my energy the revolutionary, Communist work, which I abandoned | when I brokethe discipline of the} | Party. With Communist Greetings, MORRIS NEMSER.

Fos- ter's meeting, and a large turn-out is expected for February 24th.” Fos- ter speaks at 10121 Tacoma Ave., Carpenters Hall, the day before the International Unemployment Day demonstration on February 25th, Fight in Sacramento. “When the unemployed got to the city hall,” says a report from Sacra- mento, “the police attacked. The workers resisted and a battle was on. Two police got beat up and two more got black eyes. This was just a starter. The workers are preparing for another march on February 25th,” “Streets blocked as Reds Storm City Hall,” reads the main headline of the Dallas (Texas) Journal, report~ ing the February 10th demonstration in that city. “There were between five and six thousand workers (both sexes, Negro, white and Mexican),” writes a com- rade from San Antonio, Texas. “They lustily cheered the speaker as he pre- sented to them the Unemployment Insurance Bill and the demands of the unemployed workers. We. will demonstrate again on . World-Wide Unemployment Day, February 25th, when we shall compel the authorities to listen to our demands.” In San Antonio there were between eight and te nthousand workers at the state capitol. A worker writing in about the demonstration says: “The attorney general says the goy- ernor was not in. I shouted, ‘We will not take your word for it.’ He said, ‘Don't call me a liar. I will put you in jail’ I shoufed: ‘We have 10,000 people with us. I dare you to arrest us.’ He went in to see the governor between an arch of 200 state police and Texas rangers, and presented our | demands to the governor, and we an- nounced that we would be back Feb- ruary 25th,” Fight lynching.
