Only a few By JACK STAOHEL The proposed Continental Congre: to be held in Washington D. C. on May 6th and 7th was initiated by and arrangements are wholly in control of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party. The Socialist Party, which makes a virtue of al- ways labeling every. united front ec- tion of the masses and every mass organization sympathetic to the Com- munist Party as a “creature of the Communists,” has even already de- cided who are to be the officers of the proposed congress. The. sacial- ists are trying to make sure that the rank and file delegates who may .at- tend the conference shall, haye no say in determining ,the ‘conduct ’ of the gathering.. The: soeialists of late are more afraid of the masses-than ever. Little wonder. ,The masses are growing more militant and more Ge- termined. : o9 ‘ Eyen within . the Socialist. Party there is a growing» opposition, . not alone against ‘the dominant: leader- ship, but of a fai more fundamental character. The so-called official op- Position leaders are trying to divert this opposition into. the channels \of an “innocent opposition” within the Socialist Party. But the honest rank and file proletarian elements) who are still in the party will ‘not be so easily fooled. The events in the U. §. and throughout the world is more and more showing to them the road they must follow. Because of this fear of the masses the socialists sre trying to pack this Continental Congress with a suffi- cient number of their followers who will come there, not by being elected by the masses, but as self appointed leaders of the masses. The Social ist Party has no intention of making this gathering representative of the will of the masses. They have no | intention of develcping & struggle in the interests of the masses.
