Thus, in order to oust Archbishop Diaz, an unscrupulous ranking churchman, it was necessary for the Attorney- General, Portes Gil, to fly to Presi- dent Rodriguez in Lower California to obtain his authority. According to certain correspondence published today, Catholic officials are bitterly crit- ical that the union between the fas- cists, the Camises Dorados, and the church has not been developing quickly enough to save the ecclesi- astical hierarchy from attack Meanwhile the anti-clerical sen- timent of the masses promises to be fully exploited not only by the demagogy of the present president but by the incoming president-elect, Lazaro Gardenas, it is indicated by a statement issued by the Union of Young “Revolutionaries.” This state- ment illustrates the type of high- pressure “revolutionary” language utilized by the Mexican government in its eleven years of demagogic and oppressive rule and which now is roundly denounced by the ma- jority of the workers and peasants | as “Callismo” verbiage. The “Union” declares that it will be satisfied only when all churches have been con- vetted into schools, libraries or | workmen's cénters and when all’ public activities have been social- izsd.

Herndon Will Get Welcome In the West LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13.—Negro and white workers of this city are preparing a mass demonstration at the railroad station to welcome heroic Angelo Herndon on his ar- rival here Sunday night, Nov. 18, for a two weeks’ tour of California for the Scottsboro-Herndon defense. The young leader of Atlanta un- employed workers, who is out on bail pending appeal against a sen- tence of 18 to 20 years on the chain rang, will be the main speaker that *vening at the eighth annual In- ternational Labor Defense concert and mass meeting at the Mason Theatre. Herndon will outline the present status of the Scottsboro case, the traitorous attempts by Samuel S. Leibowitz, renegade de- fense attorney, and his Negro henchmen to scuttle the defense, and the final repudiation of Leibo- witz by the boys and their mothers. His talk will include not only the frame-ups Of himself and the Scottsboro boys, but the impriso: ment of Tom Mooney and the ute by the ruling class of criminal syn- dicalist. and ‘slave laws against che workers. A feature of the program will be the presentation of a Scottsboro play by the Workers‘ Laboratory Theatre.

The demonstration is spon- sored by the Scottsboro Committee of Action, which has been endorsed by the Baptist Ministers Conference of Detroit. | Ben J. Davis, editor of the Negro Liberator and attorney for the heroic Angelo Herndon, will be the main speaker.

Davis, publisher of the New | York Amsterdam News, and other ‘traitors in the move to scuttle the defense when William R. Powell, district field organizer of the In- ternational Labor Defense, exposed their disruptive activities. Powell paid particular attention to the Tribune and Independent, local Ne- !gro reformist weeklies, and was greeted with stormy applause when he declared that persistence by those papers in their refusal to publish the facts iy the case will be answered by Philadelphia wor! ers with mass picketing of their offices and other protest actions. So great is the mass sentiment behind the I. L. D. and its militant defense policies in the case that local business men have been. im- pelled to announce their support of the campaign. Bates and other I. L. D. speakers were invited by a cafe owntr to ad- dress his customers last Saturday night .and to take up a collection for the defense.

It will be noted in the quotation given above Lenin did not say anything about the dictatorship of the pro- | ship in the abstract, as a word, as | well as its general class significance |in the question of state power. We will go on to quote further from this brilliant pamphlet in which Lenin contrasts the dictator- torship of the exploiters, the op- toship of the exploiters, the op- pressors of labor, and in which he | contrasts the pseudo-democracy un- der capitalism and proletarian de- mocracy under the rule of the work- ers. “The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat,” says Lenin, follow- ing his definition of “dictatorship,” the violence of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, power that is’ unrestricted by any laws.” | Distorted Lenin | It will be seen how the Hearst press distorted Lenin, by taking the two quotations, jumbling them up, and then deliberetsly placing them in another section of Lenin's works in order to hide from the Amer- ican workers what Lenin really ad- yocated and what the Comniunist EE is fighting for in the United ates. The dictatorship about which Lenin talks when he refers to the proletarian dictatorship, is the vie- terious rule of the workers when they d2feet their exploiters, and set up their own state power in the in- terest of the workers. This ends the domination of the big trusts, the financiers, the exploiters of la- bor and sets up the power of the working class. All power is taken from the hands of the exploiters. Their power to exploit Iabor throvgh the owne>- ship of the means of production, | letariat; he was analyzing dictator- | “is power won and maintained by; | Againet War and Fascism, which | will be held at the Irene Kaufman ‘Settlement on Noy. 25, and through their oppressive state, is ended. The workers become the Tuling c¢lass, with a dictatorsiip over all forees of the former ex- order for labor. “Proletarian democracy, of which ithe Soviet government constitutes one of the forms,” says Lenin in the same pamphlet, “has given a devel- opment and expansion of democracy hitherto unprecendented in the world, precisely for the vast mojor- ity of the population, for the ex- ploited and for the toilers.” Hearst, of course, does not quote Lenin on these facts, because it is not his aim to educate the masses in Marxism-Leninism, the science of the revolutionary workers fieht- ing to destroy capilalism and to set up a workers’ rule, Hearst is concerned only with trying to smash the most advanced forces of the workers fighting against the misery and exploitation of capitalism, and hence does not quote what Lenin said about the dictatorship of the proletariat and how it functions when it has de- stroyed capitalist, rule. Lenin Defines Soviets We think, however, that it is more interesting, more helpful to the present struggles of the American ; workers to read just what Lenin ‘did say about the dictatorship of the proletariat and Soviet power, and how it would smash the lying Propeganda and slave rule of the Hearsts: : “The Soviets,” wrote Lenin, “are the direct organization of the ioil- ing and exploited masses them- selves, enabling them: to organiz: and administer the state themseives in every possible wey. And it is pre- cisely the vanguard of the toiling and exploited, the urban prolete-ia’ thet ins the advantage of this, because it is best organized by the large enterprises; it is much easier for it to elect and to watch elec- tions.

The old bourgeois apparatus, the buzeau- cracy, the privileges of wealth, of bourgeois education,-of social con- nections, ete., which are the more varied, the more highly bourgeois democraty is developed—all ‘this disappear under the Soviet organi- zation. Hypocrisy of Press Freedom “Freedom of the press ceases to be hypocrisy, because the printing presses and stocks of paper are taken away from the bourgeoisie. (Hearst, of course, doesn’t quote this because he knows that the American workers will understand it to mean the end of his poison- propaganda.) The same thing ap- plies to the best buildings, the palaces, the mensions and mano: houses, “The Soviet ‘government hes taken thousands and thousands: of these best buildings from the ex- Ploiters, and in this way it has made the right of assembly—with- out which democracy is a fraud—a million times more ‘democratic. “Proletarian democracy is lion times more democratic than any bourgeois democracy; the Soviet government is a million times more democzatic than the most demo- eratic bourgecis republic.” Reerst Aided Merriam Mr. Hearst can well. testify to this fact. He knows how his press along with the Merriam govern- ment of California, in this “demo- cratic” republic of tae U. S., smash- ed the genera! strike of the wozkers of Califcrnia fighting for their civil and trade union rights, Hearst knows how in the U. 8. vigilante and fescist gangs aré organized to destroy trade unions, to beat up the mest militant leaders, and he knows, aiso, how to hide this behind the mask of “democracy,” and a “free press.” Hearst’s pen vrostitutes try to meke the Ame: workers think that the proletar'an dietatorznip, Soviet power, is a terrible thing.

U.S. Monopoly n War Goods Asked By Nye Behind a verbal smoke screen on taking the profit out of war, Sen- ator Gerald P. Nye, head of the Senate committee investigating the munitions trust, at an armistice meeting on Monday night at the Hotel Astor, came out for “an ade- quate national defense” and a gov- ernment monopoly of the manu- facture of war materials, ‘The Senator made the gesture of urging a high income tax on war profits, but his plea for a govern- ment monopoly of the manufacture of munitions, in practice, would only mean the government guar- antee of the monopoly profits of the chemical trust. It is in line wih the whole New Deal policy of gearing industry to the war ma- chine that is being built by the Roosevelt regime. In his plea for an adequate na- tional defense, Senator Nye made a statement that unwittingly char- acterized his own brand of dema- gogy. He said: “The cry for an adequate national defense the world over has become the disguise of the worst brand of racketeers in the world.” “On Oct, 30, I sold a book of coupens for $5 for the $69,000 drive,” writes AndyH. of Taren- tum, Pa., “and also collected $10 (half for the Labor Defender). I | am going to try to collect more | money as best I can.” Energetic action such as this will aid con- siderably in reaching the $60,000 quota by the end of November. which class you are speaking for. For Mr. Hearst and his gang of blood-sucking exploiters, it would bea terrible thing. It would end their grip over American labor. It would destroy their power to wring millions out of the sweat and blood of the American workers. It would end their rule of hunger and mass murder. But for the workers it would be emancipation, freedom, power to destroy their enemies and build up a new order of life without unemployment, without starvation, without lynchings, without imper- ialist. war. Lenin points out that the workers’ dictatorship would (1) break down the resistance of the bourgeoisie; (2) inspize the reactionaries (like Hearst) with fear; (3) maintain the authority of the armed people against their exploiters; (4) enable the proletariat to suppress its enemies, so that it could build So- cialism. An Anti-Labor Agency The Hearst press, which is the most vicious anti-labor, anti-union propaganda agency in the United States, well realizes the force of Leninism, and the prog-am of the Communist Party for the ending of the rule of the American capi- talists. It is for that reason that Hearst kesps singing the refrain of the garbled and twisted Lenin “quotation,” and spewing his hys- terical, lying attacks against the Communist Party.

It is administered by the workers themselves, prevent- ing the wholesale graft and waste of official capitalist re- lief.

This unemployment and social insurance is the most crying immediate need of the American working class.
