Lenin, and the anti-war revolutionary the Bolsheviks, were little known at that nerican workers. The re of this situation was that the National y Cohvention of the Socialist Party of Amer- held in St. Louis, Mo., in April, 1917, overruled the 1formist leaders and adopted an anti-war resolution which contained, however, no effective program of rey- olutionary struggle against the war, namely, it did not provide for a struggle to transform the imperialist war Nor ruggles of time to the ca nto civil war against capitalism. The working class membership of the Socialist Party was willing and ready to wage a revolutionary fight against the im- perialist war but the reformist leaders were working for the war and for m. The anti-war resolution dopted in St. Louis w botaged to death by the Hill- Bergers and Oneals. These flunkeys of American mperialism undertook to “revise” the St. Louis resolu- tion soon after its adoption by the membership, It was as a result of this fight—for or against imperialist war—and out of the fight about the workers’ revolu- tion in Russia—for or against the workers’ revolution— that the working class membership of the Socialist Party split away from the reformist leaders, organiz- ing themselves into the Communist Party, the United States section of the Communist International. Since that time the Socialist Party and the leaders of the American Federation of Labor have become even more consistent and militant in defense of capitalism and imperialist war, and against the Soviet Union. They do what is best for the capitalist class. The leaders of the American Federation of Labor have formed a special organization—the Pan-American Federation of Labor—to fascilitate the penetration afd conquest of Latin-America by the imperialists of the United States. The Socialist Party and the leaders of the American Federation of Labor are the foremost champions of fascist methods of oppression of the working class and its organizations. The social-reformists and social- imperialists have also become social-fascists. They have developed in the same way as the social-reformists all over the world, represented internationally by the Second “Socialist” International and the Amsterdam International of Labor Unions. It is this force of so- cial-reformism and social-fascism that stands today be- tween the working class and its victory over capitalism. Thomas, Hillquit, Green and Woll Working for Military Intervention. Norman Thomas and Hillquit are the représenta- tives of the Second Socialist International in the United States. The Socialist Party of America, of which these two gentlemen are the main leaders, is one of the af- filiated sections of this Second International. The Sec- ond Socialist International stands revealed today as the main instigator of military intervention against the Soviet Union. The so-called socialist parties of all countries, united in the Second International, have consistently collaborated with the imperialist governments against the Soviet Union. The British Labor Party of Mac- Donald and Henderson which is now the government in England and the German Social-Democratic Party, which is the main support of the present government in Germany—the strongest parties in the Second In- ternational—are actively working for military inter- vention in the Soviet Union. The British “Labor” gov- ernment is represented on the Commission of the French General Staff which is outlining and organiz- ing the intervention campaign. The German Social- Democracy has been exposed as the organizer of the counter-revolutionary and Menshevik wrecking crews in the Soviet Union. The Russian Mensheviks, re- cently on trial in Moscow for interventionist activities, have confessed to having received help and instruc- tions from German Social-Democracy and from the Second International through Abramovitch, the foreign representative of the Russian Mensheviks. Abramo- vitch, who travelled illegally into the Soviet Union, was shown to be the main connecting link between the in- tervention conspirators in the Soviet Union and the Second International. ‘The Socialist Party of America has been working hand in hand with the Russian Mensheviks—Abramo- vich, Ingerman, etc.—to finance their intervention prep- arations. Campaigns fay funds for Abramovitch and the counter-revolutionary Mensheviks were carried on in the United States by the Socialist Party, At the ban- quets for Abramovich, on his visits for money to the U. S., organized by the Socialist Party, anti-Soviet and intervention speeches were made by Hillquit, Thomas and Oneal. The Socialist Party of America is leading the campaign for intervention against the Soviet Union. The same is being done by the other parties of the Second International—the French, German, Eng- lish, Belgian, etc. Woll, Green, Lewis & Co.—the leaders of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor—stand side by side with the Socialist Party in supporting the coming imperialist war and in urging military intervention against the Soviet Union, Green, Woll and the Fish Committee, together with all the reactionary and fascist forces in the country, are foremost in the imperialist vitupera- tions against the exploded fake of Soviet “dumping,” which Stimson and Mellon are now utilizing to consoli- date international capitalist action against the Soviet Union. At a meeting of the National Civic Federation ——a body of “open shoppers” and reactionaries—called together (June 10th) to further the intervention cam- paign, Matthew Woll said: “The Soviet Dictators are starving the Rus- sian people . . . this is being doné in a frénzied design to destroy the free markets and institutions (the Coal and Iron Police in Pennsylvania, for in- stance.—A.

Dept. Central Com- mittee, Communist Party, U. S. A. The United Front in Our Anti- War Campaign By N. SPARKS. The United Front is really a very simple tac- tic. Its purpose is to enable the Party to supply militant leadership to masses of workers outside of its own ranks, and to mobilize them for united action on the most basic issues that af- fect the whole working population, such as un- employment, Scottsboro and the war danger, This is effected by appealing directly to the workers in the shops and to the rank-and-file of the workers’ organizations (with the help of the leaders if they support the appeal, and in spite of them if they are against it). For a United Front to be successful, it must not be composed of unorganized individuals but of organizations and organized groups. In this respect our United Fronts have been showing regular improvement. But in a situation like the present, with the splendid miners’ strike (for example) showing the rapid development of the militancy of the masses and their readiness to struggle, a ‘regular’ improvement is far from meeting the needs and may still indicate a most dangerous lagging behind the masses. Nor can any comrade fail to realize that the rapid ap- proach of the war means that the broadening of our base and the tempo of our preparations must increase at a really extraordinary pace if we are to prove equal to our tasks when the at- tack on the Soviet Union begins. But as a matter of fact, the character of some of our United Front conferences shows that some comrades still merely make a gesture to- wards forming a United Front, or else do not understand how to use these conferences to de- velop the initiative of the masses outside the Party and to get organizational results. Let us take an example from a recent August 1 United Front Conference. A large number of delegates are present, representing a number of organizations, Yet the whole gathering, instead of having the character of a conference of dele- gates gathered to exchange experiences and pro- posals on how to mobilize the workers in their field, has the character of a mass meeting or a lecture. The main speaker delivers an agitational speech for about an hour and a half. The chair- man then makes an agitational speech for an- other half-hour, The next hour is taken up by speeches on miners relief. Next, collection—cor- rectly for the purpose of distributing war pam- phiets. After order is restored, the floor is thrown open for discussion, But it is now 11 p.m. Five delegates take the floor, but since the main By CYRIL BRIGGS to demand a show down. and the boys. Waex the mother of two of the Scottsboro vic- tims is denied the floor at a meeting sup- posedly called for “the defense of the boys,” and by leaders of an organization loudly claiming, even against the objections of the boys and their Parents, to have charge of the defense of the nine boys, it is high time for the Negro People On Sunday, June 28, the N.AACP. held a mass meeting in Salem Church in Harlem. Ad- vertisements for this meeting declared that Wil- liam Pickens would give the facts in the Scotts- boro defense. Mr. Pickens spoke. His “facts” were the usual lies peddled by the leaders of the N.A.A.C.P. and repeatedly denied by the parents One of Mr. Pickens’ “facts” was the slander that “the parents are ignorant’—plainly in the and Socialists as Instigators of War and Intervention challenge of Soviet Russia?” Matthew Woll and Green are against Social and Unemployment Insurance. But they are for wage cuts and military intervention in the Soviet Union. ‘The leaders of the American Federation of Labor and the Socialist Party also help in the preparations for the next imperialist ar. Norman Thomas appears before the War Policies Commission of Congress, which is setting the machine going for the coming war, and accepis, as a matter of course, the war and war prep- arations. He urges the adoption of the war plans for the complete militarization of government and industry only in case of “extreme emergency.” Otherwise, he said, “this will -be regarded as a lack of faith in peace on the part of a nation which sponsored the Kellogg Pact.” Thomas and the Socialist Party want the war preparations carried on in such a way as not to expose the fake of the Kellogg Pact and of the official paci- fism of the U. S. government. The membership of the American Federation of Labor, and the few remaining working class members of the Socialist Party,” pressed by the crisis and the treacheries of their leaders, are beginning to wake up to the real danger. The historic success of Socialist Construction in the Soviet Union, despite the vile slan- ders and lies of the capitalists and their reformist flunkeys, is awakening in the hearts of the workers, also of the reformist organizations, hope and confi- dence in true Socialism, 2 desire to defend the Soviet Union from the attacks of its enemies, a sympathy for the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League. Large sections of workers are beginning to throw off the shackles of reformist leadership. To check this process, which is looked upon as a menace by the capi- talists and the reformists, new methods of deceit are being applied to the awakening workers. The method of “left” phrases, almost “revolutionary” sounding words is being used in order to stop the workers from going over to.Communism. This is the especial job of the so-called “left” reformists—Muste & Co., Stan- ley, etc. These persons are nothing else but “left” fakers, in distinction from the open, right wing fakers, These “left” Muste fakers feel that it is not safe for the cause’ of capitalism to try to keep the more radical workers away from the revolutionary struggle by attacking outright and directly tne Soviet Union and the ideals of world Communism. Because the more radicel worker is actively in sympathy with both. Hence, the “left” fakers pretend also to be in sympathy with both. Only—and here the fake becomes exposed—these fakers are against the American Communist Party and against the American revolutionary unions. In this way, the “left” fakers hope to be able to prevent the workers from translating their sympathies to the Soviet Union and Communism into active organized struggle against military intervention and capitalist exploitation. This is the “left” trick of Muste and Stanley and also of the Lavestone and Cannon renegades. These renegades are working with Muste and paving the way for him. They are professing “loyalty” to Commu- nism and are daily betraying and fighting against the Communist movement. The merciless fight against the reformists—right and “left”—and against the renegades is the basic condition for a successful fight against war and military intervention. i Time for a Showdown leaders too ignorant to have any choice in the matter of who should defend their sons. Present in his audience (a fact unknown to Mr. Pick- ens!) was Mrs. Ada Wright, the mother of two of the Scottsboro boys, Roy, 14, and Andy Wright, 17. After Mr. Pickens got through, Mrs. Wright got up and asked for the floor. Faced with the angry mother of two of the nine boys whose defense they have done every- thing in their power to hamstring, the N.A.A. C.P. leaders were in a dilemma. The mother of two of the boys was demanding the right to ac- quaint the audience with the facts in the Scotts- boro case. They knew those facts must include Jeaders themselves. So, at a meeting called in the name of the Scottsboro boys, the mother of two of these boys was denied the right to speak! ference is adjourned. fight pacifism among the workers. they had merely gone to a lecture? imperialist. war. speech was purely agitational, they also make only agitational speeches. A good broad com- mittee is then elected, the delegates are told to 80 back to the field and mobilize, and the con- Now is it not clear that such a procedure makes the whole conference quite useless?) The war danger is not the private concern of the Communist Party. It is a question affecting the life and conditions of every worker; it is a ter- rific menace to the whole working class and to their fatherland the Soviet Union. How can we bring this home to the delegates if the Party merely hands everything down to them? We must encourage the delegates to examine our Anti-War campaign most critically, to criticize our methods and our slogans, to suggest new ones and to voice their objections, to say what is wrong with our work, to help us to find out why we have failed hitherto to really mobilize the workers in the shops, to help us learn how to Two-thirds of the time of these conferences should be left for discussion. The whole object of the leading committee should be to encourage the initiative of the worker delegates. Particu- larly on the vital question of organization, we should encourage each delegate to bring forward Specific proposals’ how to mobilize the workers in his type of shop or organization. The organ- izational proposals prepared by the leading com- mittee (which were quite good in this case), should be discussed in detail by the delegates. The leading co-rades will be surprised by the number and value of the proposals that will be made from the floor if this is done. But what is the use of calling all these delegates together if we do not give ourselves the chance to learn anything from them? If we do not draw them into the planning of the campaign, so that their participation as delegates from their organiza- tion does not involve them any more than if Our August 1 United Front Conferences must be live affairs, real, broad channels through which the initiative of the masses can flow, cul- minating in mighty organized demonstrations and an increasing organized struggle against Immediately Mrs. Wright revealed her pres- ence, the chairman jumped up with the an- nouncement that the meeting was at the end! He announced the benediction, The audience was requested to leave the church “as we have al- ready overstayed our time here.” And to cover up their rotten treachery, Pickens and other N.A.AC.P. leaders rushed to shake hands with Mrs. Wright. But before those present, and be- for the reporters of the capitalist press, she re- pudiated them. She would have none of their Judas handshakes, Pickens, Walter White, and the chairman of the meeting, Rev. Lawson, denied this mother the right to tell the truth about the Scottsboro case and the defense of the boys. They denied the workers present the right to hear the truth from the mother of two of the boys. But by this very action they stand self-ex- posed. By this very action, the Negro People, al- ready questioning their hesitancy in coming to the defense of these nine boys being railroaded to the electric chair by the Alabama bosses and their courts, will realize the traitorous role played by these Uncle Tom reformist leaders, who have shown themselves out and out tools of the imperialist oppressors of the Negro masses, The Negro masses will now realize why the very Southern boss newspapers which have been clamoring loudest for the blood of these nine innocent Negro boys have had nothing but praise for William Pickens and the N.A.A.C.P. The significance of the praise by the Chattanooga Times of Mr. Pickens’ speech in Chattanooga at- tacking the mass fight to’ save the boys will now be clear to all. * The Negro masses will now realize why the conference of the N.A.A.C.P: in Pittsburgh this week is welcomed by mayor of Pittsburgh, by Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania and others who are supporting the murderous terror of the mine owners against the tens of thousands of Negro and white coal miners now engaged in a- bitter struggle against wage cuts and starvation.
