When he left America he had an 1.W.W.- syndicalist hangover; he couldn’t be- lieve that workers actually ruled in the U.SS.R. But he came back a Udarnik and Communist. The instincts of any honest worker or intellectual will help him under-/} stand what is going on over there. Many things have happened to the | Soviet Union; mistakes, calamities, | but it is a workers’ land, and they| are building Socialism. This was true| in 1917; it was true during the Nep| retreat; it is true today. Theodore Dreiser DORE DREISER, has come out with a statement of his conver-| sion to Nira, on the grounds that the New Deal comes to us direct from | Moscow. Many other liberals are try-| thg-‘to discover the first beginnings| of American Socialism in Nira. But) the most cursory examination ought to dispel this fantasy.

Theodore Dreiser may well be one of its first when the velvet glove is taken off the iron hand. . Who owns the land and the fac- des? That is the test. Hitler made chief point in his recent speech: the idea that Fascism represented the battle of private property against the| Tise of Soviet Socialism. | In the Soviet Union there is no private ownership; the wealth of the nation belongs to the nation, to the ‘workers of the nation.

Young Seaman to Go to Paris Meet Against Fascism Meeting Tonight Held) to Raise Expenses of Delegates NEW YORK.—A young marine worker, Thomas Joyce, was unani-| mously elected last night at a com-| bined meeting of the Brownsville, Williamsburg and Queens youth anti- war committees, as the delegate from Brooklyn to the World Congress of} Youth Against War and Fascism to be held in Paris, September 22 to 24. Joyce is a member of the Marine Workers Industrial Union, and has been active in the picketing of the} §.S. Diamond Cement. He is also a member of the Anti-War Commit- tee of the M.W.IU., which is dis-| tributing thousands of leaflets among} the seamen calling on them to sup- cially on all ships going to Cuba, calling on the sailors not to handle cargo where the striking Cuban long- shoremen refuse to unload it. The Bridge Plaza Workers Club is sponsoring a lecture tonight by Paul | Wendorf, chairman of the American Committee for the Paris Congress. All of the proceeds will go for the delegates’ expenses. The meeting will be at 285 Rodney St., Brooklyn. buds of promise were soon nipped.” Those buds of promise always get nipped, but like the girl in the cock- ney song, the Liberals come back again and again to lose their honest name: “So she went to London city To forget her cruel shyme, But she met an Army captain And she lost her nyme agyne.” The outsider finds it difficult to understand the psychology by which old veterans of Socialism like Tschia- kovsky could support the butchers and armed Ozarist adventurers who were opposed to Socialism. But I think this paragraph of Bebel ex- Plains the mind of the permanent lib- eral. There were hundreds of lib- erals and Socialists in the white guard armies of Yudenitch, Semenoff and Kolchak, Some even worked with the Japanese, British and other invaders. Socialists! In the recent great war they also fancied they were running things; the same talk of a New Deal came up. Men like Stuart Chase and Charles W. Wood believed then and still be- Heve that America’s war priority board was @ step toward socialism. We are witnessing now another hopeful rush of liberals and Socialists to Nira. “Because liberalism dreads every real movement of the masses, it always rests its hopes in the rulers, who seemingly or actually make small concessions to it.” And we may expect such fluctua- tions until the final conflict, when | tives of the major capitalist powers | 'U. 8.

This plan is} agreed to in principle by America, Great Britain, and France, but it is tied up with an argument as to whether any actual disarmament should even be discussed in connec- tion with it.

In all the units discussions were held and resolutions adopted unan- imously endorsing the Letter and pledging to carry it into practice. We begin to notice a definite im- provement in the work of the Party in the shops and factories. There is great enthusiasm in the ranks of the Party for a concerted drive on the shops in our Section. But this enthusiasm lacks the necessary po- litical clarity on the main issues raised in the Open Letter. This is because of their failure to study the Open Letter. As a result, certain dangerous tendencies have developed in the minds of many Party mem- bers which issue directly from the main danger now facing the Party in the present situation—namely the “Right danger of opportunism in practice.” The line of least resistance has become the “correct Party line” for some of the comrades in the Unem- Ployed Councils. Particularly js this true in the case of Unit 510 whi ch) is the Party Fraction within Council 37. This council a year ago—partic- ularly durjng the period of great mass struggles—was considered to be one of the best councils in Cook County. Militancy was its watch- word at the relief stations. The workers in the neighborhood act- ually looked to this council for lead- ership in every struggle. At the present time the Party members in this council, when dis- cussing the problems facing them give the following analysis: “You can- not move them into action—Roose- velt's demagogy has them spellbound —struggles cannot be developed with such backward elements—we must given them what they want.” “Main Street Crusader” On the North West Side—the ter- ritory of Section 5—there is a dem- agogue by the name of Winfield HH. Caslow—‘“the Main Street Crusader” Failure to Apply the Open Letter Results in O Decisions of Party Conference Were Read But Not Thoroughly : Studied, Experiences in Chicago Show Weekly.” This faker was formerly a muckraker of the lowest order who made such a big stink in Chicago that even the most reactionary ele- ments forced him to get out of the city. Now, with the passing of Cermak, and the split that is widening within the ranks of the Democratic Party, this “crusader” js trying to build himself into the office of U. S. Sen- ator in the coming elections. What does this “crusader” offer as bait for votes? First of all is his slogan “against the chain stores” Secondly, for “mass prosperity” and democratized money. Of course he is the “friend” and “protector of the oppressed.” (What faker isn’t?) In his speeches and editorials he attacks Mayor Kelly and boosts President Roosevelt and the NRA with all its trimmings. Naturally many workers are mis- led by this arch faker. The Party members in Council 37 cannot con- ceive of any more effective means of exposing Caslow than to organize a huge mass meeting in a large thea- tre.in the neighborhood on the fol- lowing basis: a) A full page ad in the North West Side Journal (a capitalist paper) for which they must pay $100. b) Having no funds with which to editor's kind offer turned the council into a soliciting agency to get ads from the storekeepers. c) The ad has a picture of Caslow in the middle and in bold type “Win- field H. Caslow, the Main Street Crusader, the Main Speaker,” and in small type at the bottom “also the representative of the Unemployed who broadcasts over the radio—and published his own weekly—"Caslow’s, ‘Councils.” The Section Committee and the x pay for such an ad they accepted the | leading Fraction of the Unemployed Councils managed to convince the leading comrades in this “movement” that they were following an incor- rect, opportunist line and at a spe- cial fraction meeting of the branch undertook to convince the rest of the Party members. In the course of the discussion it developed that it was not the non-Party elements in the Council that had given birth to the idea—but the Party members. And it was also brought to light. that the non-Party elements had objected to soliciting ads for the capitalist press but had been “won over” by the Party, in the Council. All the dangers of such a “move- ment” (to build up Caslow) and as the comrades put it (to win over the masses) must be plain to any comrade who has read the “Open Letter.” But as we pointed out at the outset—all the comrades in the Section have read jt—but it is obvi- ous that few have taken the pains to study it—to understand it. Main Task One of the central tasks of the 14th Plenum and for the comrades in Unemployed Work, the MAIN CENTRAL TASK, was to “organize and mobilize the miilions of unem- Ployed, together with the factory workers, for their most urgent needs and the organization of the struggle for unemployment insurance as the ENTRAL IMMEDIATE struggle of the Party.” If the comrades would take out their “Open Letter” and painstaking- ly examine its contents they would find what many comrades who have followed this course have found, that the work of winning over the masses cannot be made easier by the adop- tion of the “line of least resistance” but by using as a watchword Com- rade Kuusinen’s “without daily work among the broad masses, without daily struggle for their living inter- ests, the Communists, in laying claim to leadership of the masses, can only isolate themselves. This daily work is a necessary pre-condition for us, if we are to prove ourselves to be the Party of the workers IN PRAC- TICE and win the confidence of the majority of the me -We might ask as does the “Open Letter,” about the decisions of the 14th Plenum, WHY IS IT THAT THE PARTY MEMBERSHIP OF OUR SECTION AFTER ADOPTING RESOLUTIONS OF AGREEMENT WITH THE OPEN LETTER FAIL TO CARRY INTO LIFE THE MAIN TASKS OF THE LETTER? And our answer must be the same as recorded in the Open Letter, “Be- cause in the Party, and particularly among the leading cadres, there is a deepgoing lack of political under- standing. .. .” v To the comrades in Councils 37, 54 and 8, who are carried away by the Caslow twitch which threatens to become the delirium tremens of opportunism in practice, and to the comrades who may be looking un- certainly in the same direction we want to point to the following quota- tion from the Open Letter: “This sectarianism can be over- come only if the Party carries on a continuous struggle against the main danger, namely, right oppor- tunism, as well as opportunism clothed in “left” phrases. “Every Party member must now under- stand that it depends on correct policy and above all the EXECU- TION of the correct policy, whether we will be able to mobilize the masses of workers for struggle and whether our Party, in this his- torically favorzhle situation, will become the decisive mass Party of 4 pportunism the American proletariat, or wheth- er the bourgeoisie with the help of its social-fascist and fascist agents will succeed in disorganizing the mass movement and keeping it down.” The comrades must now under- stand that the only way to build a mass movement in the unemployed | field is to revive again the militant} struggles in their neighborhood around the immediate burning needs of the workers in their neighborhood as they did last year. Daily the Communists must prove to the unemployed workers, by strug- gles within the relief stations, evic- tion fights, free speech fights, etz., the burning need for this march and in the course of this work . . .“clarify the workers, in a popular and con- crete way, on the principal differ- ence between us and the reformists.” The example given by Comrade Dave Brown from Chicago on the behavior of some Party members in the Unemployed Council shows clearly how many of the Party members, while accepting the Open Letter, are following an opportunist line in practice, fundamentally op- posed to the Open Letter. It also shows that in a district like Chi- cago where the Open Letter was discussed in the section member- ship meetings, in the units, etc. that it has not become the real guide of the Party as a whole. It shows that the discussion of the Open Letter is not over, that we are only at the beginning and that every activity, every situation must be by the section and units in the light of the Open Let- ter. Articles like the following which show that there are many com- Tades who grasp the full signifi- cance of the Open Letter, who know how to utilize the Open Let- ter, as the instrument that can guide thejr activities, are very wel- come in the columns of the Daily fate which is in store for Ernst Theelmann, leaderaf the German Communist Party, Whose trial for ‘high treason” is reported soon to be held, and.for Ernst Torgler, George Dimitroff,; Vassil Taneff and Blagoi Popoff, Communist leaders who will be tried in Leipsig Sept. 21 on the framed-up: charge of setting fire to the Reichstag. ee pe NEW YORK. — The Communist Party yesterday issued an appeal to all workers and workers organizations to redouble their protest telegrams and meetings of protest against the Nazi ter and in defense of the Communists coming up for trial, Thousands of telegrams should be sent to. the German embassy in Washington, and to President Paul von Hindenburg in Berlin. Delega- tions and committees should call daily at ‘very German consulate in America. 18 Mexicans Jailed As ABC Fights for Ashes of Julio Mella MEXICO CITY, Sept. 7—Represen- tatives of the Communist Party of Cuba obtained the ashes of Julio Antonio Mella, Cuban revolutionary leader assassinated in Mexico in 1929, after a fight with members of the Cuban ABC, who attempted to claim the,honor of bringing the ashes back to Ouba. Eighteen members of the Mexican Secorro Rojo Internacionale, the Mexican ‘branch of the International Labor Defense, were arrested. Several ABC members who had been arrested were released by the police. Mella, one of the founders of the Cuban Communist Party, will be honored by a memorial. A monument to Mella, one of the founders. of the Communist Party of Cuba and of the revolutionary Confederacion Nacional Obrera de Cuba, will be erected in Havana. The ABC, capitalist-landlord political par- ty, atte d to gain the support of Cuban workers by claiming Mella for themselves. The Mexican I.L.D. issued a call for a vigorous campaign of protest to obtain the release of the 18 ar- rested members, Hays, U. S. Attorney, Sails to Attend Trial of Framed Communists NEWYORK .—Arthur Garfield Hay:, New York attorney, sailed Wednes- day night on the Aquitania in con- neciion with the forthcoming “trial” of the four Communists being framed up in connection with the Reichstag fire last February. These are Ernst Torgler, “George Dimitroff, Balgoi Popoff and Vassil Taneff. This is-Hays’ second trip to Europe this summer. Early in August he called uj Dr. Teichert in Leipzig, one of lay.yers assigned by the Nazis to:“defend” the Communists. Hays sought to see the defendants and asked fof a copy of the indictment, but both requests were refused. The trial of Torgler and the other Communists is set for September 21, and Hays’ will make an attempt to take an Active part in the defense, and in amy-event plans to be an observer.
