In the last days of his life Lenin, who always emphasized the | necessity of building and maintaining the revolutionary press, took: an active interest in the efforts of the American Com- munist Party to launch its daily. In the nine years of its ex- istence the “Daily” tried to follow the path of Leninism.

If is a picture of a world in ferment, a cavitalist world torn by fierce Seruggies and shaken to its very foundations. This adds new confirmation to the Communist analysis of the world situation as one in which capital- igt-stabilization has come to an end: a world where, in varying stages, the gontending forces of the working class and the colonial and semi-colonial Masses are closing their ranks for battle against their imperialist oppres- Sors—it is. as the Twelfth Plenum of the Executive Committee of the Com- munist International declared—the transition. to a new. round of mighty Glashes between classes and states, a new round of wars and revolutions. In the midst of aH this we still see the capitalist apologists grasving Tike: drowning men at every “prophesy” of the so-called business fore- Casters, captains of industry and others who speak of the overcoming of the capitalist economic crisis. From the armed forces of the state to their Meceptive social fascist agents in the leadership of the Socialist Party all ‘the capitalist lackeys are mobilized to try to stem the struggles of the Mamery masses against the starvation and war program of the capitalist iass.. These myths about the overcoming of the crisis are put forward ta try to make the starving masses believe that capitalism is indestruct- able, to try to refute the Communist analysis of the end of the period of Capitalist stabilization. ‘Where economic facts from every part of the world give the lie to all.the talk about returning prosperity, the increasingly violent political Conflicts batter into atoms further pillars of the capitalist edifice. "The capitalist class tries, with increasing violence against the working elags of their own countries and in the international arena, to tear its way ‘Out of these difficulties that more and more threaten their very existence. <...°Foday, the powerful weapon forged by Lenin and the Bolshevik Party, ithe first round of imperialist wars and revolutions must be used with telling effect on an international scale. In the Soviet Union, the Com- ‘™unist Party, under the leadership of Comrade Stalin, the best desciple ‘amd.exponent of Leninism, is the motive force in building socialism, in plea toward a classless society This is, itself, one of the mightiest Fevolutionizing forces in the world. *. ‘Today, in the midst of the increasing difficulties facing the capital- st: world, the imperialist powers strive to solve their contradictions at the €xpense of the Soviet Union. The fury of the decaying capitalist world at the unprecedented rise of production which carries with it higher living standards and raises the cultural level of the Soviet masses finds expres- ‘Bien ‘in’ a new campaign of calumny, new conspiracies against the Soviet ‘Union. ‘Against these conspiracies for armed intervention the Soviet Union and the proletariat of the world carries on a relentless struggle. This fact was clearly set forth in the thesis of the Twelfth Plenum (full meet- ing) of the Executive Committee of the Communist International: “It is only the firm peace policy pursued by the U. S. S. R. and the fears the bourgeois entertain of the prospects of imperialist war | .<being converted into civil war and of colonial uprisings, that re- *.-stzain them from slipping into war and intervention.” ~ Under these conditions of rapidly approaching world war, Leninism ‘etands out as a beacon light guilding the toiling masses in all the strug- has alv as we stand o1 n of mass murder ebellion in Ar- ig workers and peasants in dawn that heralds the ism in India as tribes- pid growth of the h masses threaten- ‘many, Poland and a score of funds and additional masses es among auto workers and This tenth year of the Daily, wherein one day’s news can record a ‘worl@.in upheaval, is yet in its infancy, The accumulation of explosive forces may at any moment burst forth into an unprecedented conflagra- (flom.'There is not 2 moment to be lost plying Leninist teachings and Leninist tactics to every phase of the struggle. %. \ESpecially is it necessary at this time to recall to every Party member te nécessity of energetically and without a moment’s waste, preparing for ‘@hy_eméergency that may arise, for any shock that we may be forced to : das capitalism in its desperation resorts to excesses of violence ‘to-maintain itself which means a real turn towards mass work, the over- z of sectarianism and the improvement of the inner life of the F » Not the least of these tasks, in the light of Leninism, is the fun- ‘ ental task of making our DAILY WORKER a real mass paper that ‘Will-reach and impei to decisive action thousands of workers and farm- ‘ers and impoverished masses in all parts of the country.

R. H bases ,policy outlined in the Tanaka Memorial is again being ex- tended. After well-planned| and prepared military arrangements, Japanese forces attacked and took Shankaikwan. Five thousand Jap- anese troops, three war ships and seven bombing planes. took part im the attack. “Shanhaikwan was destroyed by shell-fire and flames, Over 1,000 Chinese, mostly... civil- ians, were killed in the attack. The attack by the Japanese militarists has only begun in this sector. More troops and military planes are be- ing rushed there. Ten warships are already in the waters between Chinwangtao and Shanhaikwan. All warships at the Sasebo naval base are ordered to be in readiness for immediate action. From all this it is clear (and this is the opinion| coming from all sources) that Japanese imperialism is preparing to invade Jehol. (Gen- eral Muto, Japanese military dicta~ tor of Manchuria stated that Jehol province “is destined to become an important province of the new state of ‘Manchukuo’”), and. go further into North China, including the cities of Peiping| and Tientsin. From Jehol they intend to conquer all of inner Mongolia and also take Kalgan which is the gateway to Outer Mongolia, the seizing! of which is also part of their imme- diate objective. Observers say that the present military operations are the biggest yet attempted by Jap- an. WAR |PREPARATIONS ARE SPEEDED. ‘The Japanese imperialists are at the same time speeding up all their war preparations (demand at Gen- eva for larger navy,. mobilization of more and more troops, working of the munitions factories day and night, advancing from October to August of the naval maneuvers, and increasing the expenditures for the same by 50 per cent, the largest budget in its history, etc.) All these because they know that their plans will meet with much opposition and resistance — not from ths League of ‘Nations which by its actions shows that it sup- ports Japan’s imperialist aims, nor from the Kuomintang betrayers who again and again appeal to the League of Nations knowing, as ey- ery thinking person does, that this so-called peace machinery is no- thing more than a smoke-screen behind which imperialist wars are prepared. The Kuomintang clique have again shown that they are imperialist agents by| giving no help to the insurgents in north west Manchuria, and likewise to properly prepare for~ the! attack they knew must come.in North China. No, they only attack the Chinese masses who are fighting all imperialists as well as the Chin- ese capitalists and landlords. In this connection, Wellington Koo at Geneva called on all imperialists to help crush the Soviets of China. All the so-called peace treaties, be- tween the imperialists’ are already known to be mere scraps of paper to be torn up the minute, they in- terfere with the aims of one of the imperialist powers. ‘The opposition comes from Am- erican imperialism (which is pre- paring large-scale naval and air- Plane maneuvers to take place ‘soon in the Pacific), and its supporters all of whom see.their interests violated by Japan’s actions. But the main opposition and/ resistance comes from the toiling masses of China and Manchuria as well as of the entire world. Mass actions are taking place the world over ax gainst the invasion of Manchuria and for the defense of the Chinese people, In China and Manchuria the masses carry on a relentless struggle against the imperialists and particularly against the Japanese. ‘The Chinese Soviets and their he roic Red Armies are gaining ever new victories, The masses in Kuo~ mintang China are increasing their struggles. MANCHURIA MASSES INCREASE RESISTANCE. In Manchuria, notwithstanding the merciless attacks of Japanese troops, the workers and peasants are increasing their resistance to the invaders and their ‘Manchukuo’ puppets. The insurgents have not —By Burck JapaneseImperialism Launches New Attacks Upon China been crushed in the northwest and east of Manchuria, but only dis- persed, They are rising again. So- viet districts with Re# Armies al- ready exist and are growing day by day in Eastern Manchuria. Partisan troops exist in all parts of Man- churia. Press dispatches prove that the Manchurian “masses are in re- volt, as shown among other things, that in South Manchuria 36 out of 138 and in North Manchuria’ 200 out of 240 post offices are in the hands of the rebel forces. The Jap- anese military clique is sending many new forces to Manchuria to try and crush the masses who are fighting the invasion and for the purpose of strengthening the pre- en to attack the USSR. The itter purpose is supported by all imperialists. Japanese troops ate now at sev- eral points of ‘the borders of the USSR. In western Manchuria they are at-Manchuli and in. east- ern, Marphuria .they are at. Pog- ranichnaya. They are also advanc- ing to the northernmost boundar- ies of Manchuria. The entire Fast- ern’ Chinese Railway (jointly ‘con- trolled’ by China’ and the U.SS.R.) is now in the hands of the Japanese troops, which also shows how unre- Mable‘ the “Manchukuo” troops are. for Japanese imperialism, otherwise they .would be guarding the sta- tions. At'the:same time, prepara- tions for attacking the U.S.SR. are increasing in Europe. i The Japanese imperialists are in- creasing their threats against the Soviet Union. This is being done by all the imperialists, including Am- erican. The Japanese demanded that the‘Soviet Union turn over the Chinese insurgent leaders, Su Ping- wen and others to the Japanese, notwithstanding the fact that the U.S.SR. is a neutral country. They stormed about the re-establishment of relations between the Soviet Union and China altho these rela~ tions are in line with the Soviet Union’s policy of peace with all countries. A Japanese foreign office spokesman said: “The elements most disturbing to t > peace of the world now have joined hands Meanwhile Strengthens Preparations for Attack on USSR and Japan stands ‘squarely against these forces.” A Japanese war of- fice spokesman said: “Although Soviet Russia’s attitude toward Ja- pan is at present entirely friendly, it is impossible to forecast the fut- ure. Therefore, we must bring our ferces in Manchuria to a state of efficiency, modernization and me- chanization equal to that of the Red Amny.” Plain talk, is it not? ‘The Soviet Union has shown time and again that she stands for real péace. This is because it is the only country where the workers and peasants rule, where capitalism does not exist, and because the USSR. has no imperialist aims. It is the only power that has made genuine disarmament proposals at Geneva (every one of which were rejected by the imperialists). The U.S.S.R, has proposed non-aggres- sion’ pacts with all’ the countries, including Japan, and signed same with most of them (France, Poland, ete.). When the Japanese tmperial- ists raised their storm about the re-establishment of relations be- tween the U.S.S.R. and China the Soviet representative replied in effect, “We have ofered to sign a non-aggression pact with Japan, and the offer still stands. Byt the Japanese imperialists, according to latest préss dispatches, have now formally refused to sign such a pact with the US.S.R. y bes attack against the Chinese people is” increasing ‘tremend- ously. The preparations for attack- ing the USS.R. are going ahead at a rapid pace. The imperialist war now on in the Far East. threatens to become a world imperialist slaughter. We, the workers, will be the cannon fodder, as in the last “world imperialist war. We must. increase our anti-imperialist war work a hundredfold.

Women Workers and “Daily” By FANNIE BLACKER bee) United Council of Working Class Women thru the years of its existence has grown from a small group of councils ‘scattered thruout New York and vicinity into --& militant organization with over fifty councils and’ about! 3,000 members. Until a few yéars ago the organization was mainly. involved in rajsings funds and giving relief to strikers, etc.’ In the, last two years our organization has proven that it can be active in struggles. The recent bread) strikes, rent strikes, demonstrations at the Home Relief Buros, fighting evic- tion! cases,.etc., are outstanding examples. ~ ‘The: program adopted by the or- ganization sults the requirements of the proletarian housewives. Our task is to reach and organize Ne~ gro and white, foreign and native “born workers’ wives for the class struggle. In addition to every-day activi- ‘ties our organization offers various opportunities to its. members.

The Councils were mobilized very effectively in preparation for the Hunger March, funds were raised, food and cloth- ing collected, and eight delegates were elected at mass meetings held on a section scale in various parts of the city. These delegates joined the other 3,000 representatives of the interests of the unemployed in the march to Washington. ‘The role of the Daily Worker cannot be overestimated. It serves both as an organizer and a stim- lus to carry on the every-day struggles. Through its columns we get the truth about the American struggles and the achievemnts in the Soviet Union.

We urge all comrades fo send in articles on the basis of their own experiences, as well as questions an ‘problems which confront them—which will be answered in this column, WANT to deal principally. with the experience we have had in organization at the New York Cen- In the past few months we have been able to draw into what we call the Joint Organ- ization Movement of Dining Car Stewards, Waiters and Cooks, some 160 workers who have already sign- ed up applications, of which 140 have already paid dues. This is important because it is the first real success we have had in organizing any number_of Negro workers. In the railroad league we have had a number of Negro work- ers in different sections of the country, but they would come and go. We would make little successes at certain places which would last two or three months and finally disappear. ORGANIZED BY WORKERS ON JOB This movement, however, has organized principally by workers on the job. We are able through one or two Party members on the N. Y. Central to make contacts with some key workers in this particular de- partment, and practically all of these workers have been organized right on the job. The contacts we made of Negro workers as well as some white workers were, with co- operation from the outside, able to build up this group around actual conditions on the jobs. We made the same mistake here, as else- where, by putting up general de- mands, it must be reported. But this was corrected. We took the old agreement of the Dining Car Employes, and with the cooperation of these workers were able to re- draft it to include a number of new demands—to include special de- mands for the Negro workers. * 8 8 ROUND these demands we are organizing the workers on @ united front basis. Attempts have been made in the past to organize all dining room waiters without any success.” Now because of the situa- tion in the industry—where the conditions of all workers are being und2rmined, where Negro workers at lower wages are replacing in many cases white dining car stew- ards who received $175 a month— the struggle for better conditions is uniting both Negro and white work- ers. I will not go into the detail of the agreement. But, instead of go- ing to these workers with leaflets and with our 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 gen- eral and abstract demands, we took this agreement and went over it with individual workers and form- ulated the tentative or propos:d agreement, taking up the question of wages, and working conditions in detail. We had this mimeo- gtaphed and circulated in the cars, We got some 47 Negroes and white workers in the organization. This was about a month ago, Today we have two-thirds of the workers in the organization. FINANCE ORGANIZATION WORK z Fifty cents a month is being con- tributed by the workers to what we call the “Organization and Nego- tiation Fund.” We have,set the goal that we organize on the basis of the grievances and for a fight to enforce . the proposed agreement that was drawn up. We are call- ing upon the workers not to pay ‘dues, but to contribute 50 cents a month to finance the organization work and the negotiations of this agreement. Cece iar * HERE have been a number of difficulties in the work. The workers are constantly on the go. They are not in one place like sho workers. There is never a time when we can get more than a half of them together. We have opened @ headquarters and we are at- tempting to draw in these workers when the ycome off the trains, so that we can be constantly in touch with them. We are. organizing on the basis of car committees. We set up a committee of three on each car, developing little mestings as they go over the road. This is some- times a very difficult problem, be- cause one-third of the workers are on the job while one-third are sleeping and the others available for meetings. * 8 6 Editorial Note:—The method used here in formulating the de- mands on the basis of an old agreement is of special icport- ance. In this manner the com- rades were able to deal, in the most concrete manner, with the conditions -of the workers, with special emphasis on the needs of the Negro dining car employes, It is precisely because they put forth special demands for the Negro workers that they were able to make this headway in estab- lishing the organization. But it is essential in connection with the demands for the Negro dining car employes to raise the demand of the right of the Negroes to hold any job without discrimination or lower wages, HE OL N UNDER ARREST. ‘HE Russian Bolsheviks learned much from the many rich ex- periences gained by the previous revolutionary generation in the struggle with Tsarism. While in the realm of theory, program and tactics the Bolsheviks rejected the ideological inheritance left. by the movement of the Narodniki (popu- lists) and of the Narodnaya Volya (People’s Will) of the °70's, and took up their position entirely on the basis of proletarian revolution- ary Socialism, based on the teach- ings of Marx and Engels, they utilized the experiences of their predecessors, especially those of the members of the-People’s Will, how- ever, in the field of underground activities, and in their conduct dur- ing trial. For several decades pre- ceding the October Revolution, the conditions for underground work for the revolutionary parties in Russia remained almost unchanged. The methods employed by the or- gans of Tsarism in its struggle with the revolutionary movement were, in general, the same, varying only in accordance with local conditions and with the ideas of particular heads of the Secret. Police. We know from the evidence. of the Tsarist Secret Service» (Okh- Yana), and the Police Administra- tion, at present in our possession, that. there was scarcely a single Bolshevik, engaged in underground work, who had not been system- atically shadowed by the agents of the Okhrana. The reports of these agents go into such great detail, that we are convinced that the agent of the Okhrana followed his victim's every step. However, “outside observation” did not play the chief role in the Okhrana’s activities. Commencing with the end of the ’70’s, the Tsar- ist government commenced to em- ploy agent-provocateurs in its fight against the revolutionary move- ment. As’ the proletarian reyolu- tionary movement grew the Police Department began. to apply these methods on a large scale. For the “internal observation” of the or- ganization, and the discovery ot' its most active members, the Okhrana began to introduce its members into the directing organs of the Party, or terrorized members of the Party into becoming spies. THE AGENTS-PROVOCATEURS ‘The archives-of the Tsarist Okh- rana indicate that these agents~ provocateurs, who appear in the records under pseudonyms (most of them, after careful "investigation, have been identified) gqve fairly complete information as to the ac- T B \e) Dramatic Incidents in the Struggle Against Russian Tsarism. SHEVIKS TRIAL By T. TCHERNOMORDIK the barbarian and bloody regime of the Tsarist autocracy, provide grounds for prosecution, or if they did, give them the possibility of formulating charges involving long terms of imprisonment or exile. The laws governing the Okhrana (which were in force up to the February Revolution) gave the late ter power to arrest all active meme bers of the organization at sight, to keep them in prison without trial for long periods, and to deport them; but they could not place revolutionists on trial or sentence them to penal servitude or death, That was the function of the court, 8 8 A REVOLUTIONIST of the seven- ties, Mishkin, once said that “A Tsarist court ... was no better than a brothel’ (Mishkin’s speech at vhis trial). Nevertheless, even the Tsarist court was obliged to have some legal basis for passing the sentence that the government desired. The reports of the detec- tives and agents-provocateurs were not treated as legal. evidence. Firstly, because the reports were not. direct evidence, and hence could be easily refuted at the trial, and Secondly, because the agents- provocateurs could not be producéd at the trial, since the Okhrana was interested in concealing their iden- tity. Again, neither the detectives nor the agents-provocateurs could give a complete picture of the ac- tivities of the organization, since the system under which the Party organized its secret activities only enabled them ‘to become familiar with single episodes and aspects of the work. For this reason the Department of State Def2nse (Okhrana) and the Police Administration could only begin to collect materials that could be produced at the trial after the arrests, after the organizations had been raided. They tried to get information about the whole cr- ganization on the basis of evidence obtained by questioning the pris- oners. If they failed to get that information they kept the’ prisoners under preliminary arrest or de- ported them to other districts. Sometimes they were obliged to liberate the prisoners owing to lack of evidence. This latter course was very distasteful to the authorities, because they felt that all their ef- forts had been wasted. ‘That is why the authorities relied so much on: the preliminary inves- tigations which sometimes dragged on: for years. The police officers and the examining magistrates did everything they could, during the examination of the prisoners, to in- “A revolutionist under arrest and examination had a great responsibil~. ity thrust upon him.” tivities of the organization. More- over, in order to safeguard the secrecy of the Okhrana’s work, they reported on their own work and activities within the organiza~ tion, under their Party pseudo- nyms. This mass provocation was a powerful weapon in the hands of Tsarism in its fight agginst the revolutionary movement. »It com~- plicated our struggle, in that we suffered many defeats, and it made it difficult for us to carry on mass work. It compelled us to work in an extremely conspiratorial fashion, and: to withdraw into’ the ‘narrow Shell of a secret organization. However, neither the information gathered by the outside: agents of the Okhrana, nor the information obtained ‘by the: agents-provoca- teurs could provide sufficient. ma- terial for the complete discovery of the organization, or, ‘even under THOSE WHO TRY TO “CONSOLE” MASSES AK ACIORY, has. degraded Marx- ism to unheard of prostitu-. tion; he has become a veritable’ priest.

It was not an easy matter to fight against. the unseen forc2s of the secret police, and now, under arrest, the revolutionist was face to face with the cunning, experienced agent of the Okhrana for the first’ time, who strove in every conceivable way to trap his victim. 1¢ must be said that, owing to lack of experie ence of the revolutionist, or be- cause he failed to understand the full consequences of his conduct under ‘examination for the organ- ization, the Okhrana sometimes succeeded in procuring the mae terial they sought.
