Religion, Imperialism and Labor

| 1t is doubtful if the artist who drew the re-
produced cartoon in DAILY WORKER magazine
June 20, realized how much it would stir up the
feelings OF imperialists all over the world The
cartoon pictured Jesus Christ, the King of Eng
land, and Ramsay Macdonald taking a stroll to-
gether, and symbolizes the union of religion i'm
perialism, and the traitor "labor" leadership in
their common betrayal of the toiling masses of
the world. 1t first appeared in Prada, the Com
munist daily of Moscow.
The exploiters all over the world get angry when
their brothers are exposed So it is not surprising
that the "Better America Federation" an "open
shop" organization that stands for unbridled capt.
tallst exploitation in this country should foam at
the mouth about this cartoon. They feel so sore
about this cartoon that they reproduce it in spe-
clal circular for all their members to get a good
look at it. 1t is labeled as a "wanton outrage"
sacreligious affront," and an assault on the
highest ideals of religion and patriotism"
But the point is still not clear: Is it wrong to
picture Jesus along with the King and Macdonald?
Or was it wrong to put the King in such com
pany? Or is the protest against showing Mac
Donald as the colleague Of the relics of feudasm?
Our idea is that it is of these-it is the pro
test against the awakening of the workers to the
combination of powers that Cypress them.

The Approaching Crisis

Industrial crisis is rushing upon the United
States with tightening speed. The thousand and
one indications of its approach, which the Com
munists announced year ago, are now merging
into one great outstanding fact making clear to
everyone that the crisis is at hand-the fact of
unemployment.
For more than year the trend of employment
has been generally downward. True there were
temporary hesitations during which industry held
its own, and even "a brief recovery in January
and February, all of which caused the profes
sional optimists of capitalism to announce a new
"boom' But these oscillations of the industrial
index were purely incidental and only affected the
speed, not the direction, of events Employment
has been continuously on the downgrade.
Now the downward development has grown
precipitate The crisis is attaining the acuteness
displayed in 1921, which finally resulted in the
throwing of 100000 workers into the streets
before it was temporarily overcome by the now
expiring period of prosperity Before the com
ing winter SHOWS have covered the earth the
streets of the big cities will resound with the
tramp of the unemployed millions, unless all
signs fail, or unless capitalism applies the des-
perate remedy of another great war.

Fake MarxiSnl

Continually there appear critics of the Workers
Party to point out, from the point of view of an
alleged "Marxism," the opportunist character of
the American section of the Communist Interna-
tonal. One of these is John Keracher who, with
his thirteen disciples, forms what is known as the
Proletarian Party. Keracher thinks that the
Workers Party, by championing the cause of the
bankrupt farmers in America is "seeking to
bolster up the lower strata of the property own
ing class" and hence is reactionary party.
Like so many other radical appearing argu-
ments that have been made, not only against the
Workers Party but against the Communist In
ternational itself, this is only Revolutionary"
mask for counterrevolutionary attitude. 1t is
the same argument that finds its logical conclu-
sion in a reputation of the Communist Interna-
tional as "un-Marxist" and the Soviet government
of Russia as "petty bourgeois" because of the
alliance between the workers and peasants that
is basic part of the policy of both these supreme
expressions of the revolutionary movement.
These little closet students of Marx like to
play with revolutionary words. But they might
never have lived in the same world as Vladimir
Ilyitch Lenn far as concerns an understand
ing of revolutionary action. With their greatest
revolutionary" achievement to be found in the
issuance of a 16-page monthly filed with 9091
drive these ''Marxians" sneer at the greatest
other upon their revolutionary purity Such
Marxism is fakery, pure and simple 1t has moth
ing in common with revolution.

Gen. Wood Predicts Slaughter

The exalted ruler of the Philippines by grace
of God and Wall Street, General Wood, has been
having trouble ruling the subject millions of the
Pacific islands The Filipinos have taken serious
~ the many promises of independence and the
bunk about the idealism of American capitalism,
at least to the extent that they demanding
the right to establish their capitalist state.
Which doesn't suit Wall Street and consequently
neither General Wood. And in the fracas result
ing General Wood has gotten quite rough. He is
now court-martialing several hundred native
soldiers for ''mutiny" and more bloodshed seems
imminent at the hands of this representative of
American exploiters.
All of which is the explanation why General
Wood has suddenly discovered that the Third In
ternational, thru the Workers Party, has issued
a manifesto calling for the slaughter of all foreign
workers in the Philippines. General Wood
needs threat of slaughter to help him Justify the
slaughter he himself is carrying thru in the
Philippine Islands. So he conveniently drags the
Workers Party on the stage as the threat to the
peace of American imperialism.
The Workers Party appreciates the compliment
1t understands that Communism and the Third
International are, indeed, a real menace to i'm
perialism the world over, the only real threat to
its continuation We hope that this menace will
continue to grow and cause General Wood and
all the other generals more loss of sleep than ever
before. The menace to imperialism consists in
the awakening of the millions to their own power
and to the necessity Of establishing a society
where exploitation and exploiters are abolished
OF course the Observation-Disclosures manifesto
that Wood claims to have discovered is a fake
pure and simple. The real manifesto which is
reproduced in this paper is much more dangerous
to imperialism than the fake one of General
Wood. The doughty warrior of capitalism would
be pleased if he could provoke bit of premature
bloodletting before the MASSES are in motion, in
order that he might crush with iron the rising
independence movement in the Philippines.

the Party. In fact, all the work Of a
Communist Party is hindered and ham
pered and inefficiently done, unless
there j. a complete Industrial regis
tration.
Not until we have complete in.
dutrial registration will we be able
to throw the full weight Of our Party
into the struggle. OF course mere
registration is not enough. Active
participation in the industrial work
is the duty Of all Communists and the
registration will go long way to
bring this about.
Every Party branch should see that
a complete registration of the mem
bers is taken at once, that the yellow
registration blank is turned into the
City Central Secretary; the Blue sent
in to the District Organizer, and the
White form sent in to the National
ONCE. Every Party member should
take a personal interest in this regis.
tration, give the branch secretary
every assistance possible, and make
his task easy by cooperating with
him.
The Importance of the Industrial
registration cannot be over-estimated.
It will be a big organizational step in
the process of Communist Party. The
forming of the shop nuclei depends
upon it. The efficient work in the
trade unions demands upon it, The
Organize the unorganized" campaign
depends upon it, The real effective
ness of the Party depends upon know
ing where the Party members are and
how their energies can best be used
in the revolutionary struggle and in
the building up Of our Party.
The registration cards and tripli.
cate report blanks are now in the
hands of the printers, and will be
shipped to the branch secretaries in
few days. The form has been sim.
plifed and the registration so ar
ranged that it can be Immediately put
to use in all districts without going
thru the national office. That means
that it can be utilized by the D. Os
and industrial organizers the minute
the registration is completed in their
district. District Chicago chaL
lenges all districts in making the
quickest and most complete industrial
registration. Do you accept the chal-
lenge?

him. Hence, the slogan, ITO the
Masses"
What do we mean ITO the Masses ~
The majority Of the workers are unor-
ganized and the few million who are
organized are split up in thousand
different splinters. How best can
we put our slogan into effect and car
ry the Communist message to the
workers? We have clearly defined
industrial program but how can we
start to put it into effect? These
things are uppermost in our minds.
We know what we want, know how to
get it, but somehow we are not en-
tirely in tune. The industrial activi-
ties are not in step with the other
work Of our party.
First, do not let us make the mis-
take of either over-estimating or I'M
der-estimating our strength. 1t is
only a short time ago that we came
from underground, from illegal to le-
gal And on that short time we have
made remarkable recovery from
left-sickness. The revolutionary
struggle from the most elementary
practical immediate measures to the
dictatorship of the proletariat is be-
ing led by the Workers Party and the
T. U. E. L.
Our greatest weakness is not the
smallness Of our Party, but that the
industrial work of the Party is neg
lected almost entirely by large num-
Der Of the members. Theoretically,
the Party is unanimously for the in
dustrial program, realizing that the
roots of the Party should be in the
factory and workshop and that the
ground work activities of the Party
is the industrial work, and that we
must stuff off as quickly as possible
our Socialist Party inheritance and
reorganize our Party upon the shop
nuclei basis.
This makes industrial registration
the order of the day in Party circles.
Unless we have complete industrial
registration we cannot become a real
throbbing revolutionary unit of action.
We cannot marshal our forces be-
cause we do not know where they are.
Our trade union work is equally
handicapped. The shop nuclei re-
mains in the theoretical stage. Our
comrades in unorganized industries
remain unknown to each other and to

the size Of the membership. That
plus is, to what extent do the workers
ideologically accept the leadership OF

Foch Should Cheer Up

News dispatches say that Marshall Foch looked
glum when Herriot told him he had TO take the
French troops from the Ruhr. Orders is orders
however, when delivered by j. p. Morgan, so there
is nothing for it at the moment but to get out
This is depressing to the old blood spiler who
wants his soldiers in action on alien soil, and
causes him to look glum.
Marshall Foch should cheer up, however, and
not take the withdrawal from the Ruhr too much
to heart. In the first place the withdrawal has
not taken place yet-not by a long ways. He
may have a lot more experience in the Ruhr yet,
and with the consent of Morgan. And in the sec
ond place, if he gets out of the Ruhr on Morgan's

orders, he should have confidence in Morgan that
greater military ventures will come out of the
new game
For Morgan is a greater war lord than Foch
can ever hope to be. The latter is but petty
servant, carrying thru the schemes of world con.
quest Of the financial masters. Foch is not the
real war maker, anyway, and if he is foied of
his morning bath of blood by his masters today,
1t is for the sake Of bigger war to come a little
later. So cheer up, Foch! Morgan will take care
Of you!

THE strength of Communist Party
can be judged, to a great extent,
by how quickly it can marshal its
forces at any given point in the strug-
gle. How quickly can it rally its
members, say, in the steel industry,
either to help or lead an organizing
drive, to fight for an increase, or
against cut in wages, to throw its
entire strength in the revolutionary
struggle in any one Of the numerous
class war fronts.
A mass Communist Party cannot be
judged by its numerical strength

STREETS BEING IMPROVED.

Street furrowers are busily en-.
gagged in leveling and making
repairs on Crawford street, says
the Herald.
City Engineer wv. McFarlane
states the heavy turnover will
be used to dig up the street and
eliminate all rough spots to be
followed by more work with the
scraper and then the steam roller.
1t is also stated that work is
being devoted to Crawford street
in the day time and that work
on Morley avenue will be done
at night so that traffic will not
have to be suspended to allow
repair work.
Morley avenue will be cut
down six inches, according to
present plans, the dirt removed
and leveling started. The re.
moval of six inches of the old
street bed is being done to ob
viste heavy rains flooding stores.
