LSIT THE MEASLES? DIAGNOSIS.
Continued from page a

Continued from page u
where the majority thesis claims that
the leaders of the mass economic or
CARNATIONS of labor have formed a
PERMANENT alliance with the petty
bourgeoisie and that this alliance has
received the recognition Of ALMOST
THE ENTIRE ORGANIZED LABOR
MOVEMENT.
Even If this were so It would make
more imperative than ever before the
necessity of raising the slogan of a
farmer-labor party for independent
class political action in order to mob
ilize around our banner the militant
left wing and split them away from
the third capitalist party movement
and to discredit their class collabor-
ationist leaders in all working class
organizations.
BUT 1T is NOT TRUE. The official
leadership of the mass economic or
CARNATIONS Of labor are in alliance
with the republican-democrat party
Of AMERICAN IMPERIALISM thru
the "non-partisan" policy which
was reafirmed at the FL Paso con-
vention Of the A. F. of L. They are
against the THIRD PARTY and
against the LABOR PARTY. They are
in favor Of the Dawes plan, the Amer
lean Legion and imperialistic war;
they are against recognition Of Soviet
Russia. The A. F. of L. and the reac-
tionary unions are the allies Of Amer
lean Imperialism on every count.
The Majority Policy In Practice.
Here in Massachusetts, we have
had the opportunity to see how the
majority thesis works out in practice.
The c. P. P. A. convention was held
in Boston December IA. About 30 of
our comrades were elected from their
unions and fraternal organizations
to the c. P. p. A. conference. II we
were working under our old united
front policy we could have had at
least 80 more. The big reactionary A.
f. Of L. unions and the r. r. unions
were not represented None Of their
leaders were present. All our COM
rades and many of their fellow del
egates we're instructed to vote for a
farmer-labor party. A general mem
bership meeting of the Boston T. U.
z. L. voted unanimously in favor of
raising the slogan of a farmer-labor

d. o. / was compelled to oppose the
motion and uphold the C E. c. We
received instructions from the nation
al office to fight the resolution for a
farmer-labor party in the G. P. P. A
to introduce our own resolution for
the w. P.-and when defeated to
WALK OUT OF THE HALL. No re-
solution for farmer-labor party was
ever introduced in the G. p. p. A.
by the socialists or any one else.
Delegate after delegate representing
labor unions took the floor and spoke
for independent working class action
and labor party. We sat quiet. We
never got chance to introduce our
resolution-and after making a state
ment our comrades walked out. II we
were not operating under the majority
policy Of abandoning the united front
slogan Of labor party we could have
won the support Of a majority Of the
delegates against the socialists who
controlled the convention. We could
at least have split on the issue of
labor party. AS it was about Is of
our comrades walked out the hall and
the rest of the delegates didn't know

Parents and Teachers.

A noted educator says that an active
Parent Teachers association is the sign
of healthy condition and an indication
that parents are vitaily interested in
the schools.
1t is even more than that 1t dis
closes that parents are not alone inter
ested in. their schools, but also in their
children, and in order to better the
condition of their offspring, are turning
to the schools as the agency that can
get results.
Not infrequently it has been charged
that the changing social order has re-
suited in parents neglecting their
children. that the increasing demand of
people for more leisure time has re-
suited in more hours per day DEVOTED
to pleasure, with consequent neglect of
the home life, and hence neglect of the
children.
If this charge be true and in many
instances it doubtless is-a virile or
gsnization of parents and teachers de-
voted to improving the schools Indicate 8
change of heart.
Many people are realizing that
children have been neglected; tina,
mother has spent too much time with
her card clubs and church societies
that father has been devoting too
many hours to playing golf or to othel
pleasures. This added responsibility t
the schools.
The natural thing for parents to do
after having overloaded the SCHOOL,
with responsibilities they should hav'
borne, is to turn to the schools ant
help work out way to meet tn
problems that confront the child of tn
present generation,
A Parent-Teachers association is
good sign. More strength and infiuenc
toit.
