THE PREJUDICE-BLINDED.


The case speedily came up for re-
view before the authorities. And they
had settled the matter of the rela-
tionship of Jesus with Satan. He was
his chef henchman and His activity
threatened their own position so that
if they would hold down their job
some plausible explanation must be
gotten to explain away the popular
ity that would result. They were not
interested in playing the game fairly
but only in winning it. So the man is
brought before them and they ques-
ton whether it could possibly be the
same person, so great was the change
that had been wrought. He insisted
that ne was and that the sight had
come to him thru the touch of some
Man. His parents had to confirm his
story, and when it was certain they
Immediately began to discredit the
doer. He was a sinner because He
had broken their regulation. He had
not followed the prescribed formula,
therefore He was wrong. John Nc
Neal, the canny, wise Scot, has pic
tured the meeting of this man and
Bartimeus. "Did He put mud on your
eyes?" 80, no; He just spoke and it
was done" "That isn't the way He
put mud on NINE" And the mudites
and the no-mudites had their begin
ming in this fashion. Against the
background of their prejudging is the
growing conviction of the man who
listened and spoke shrewd comment
upon their position and passed from
gratitude to admiration, discipleship,
love, worship. With them the blind
ness was as great at the end as at the
beginning.
THE LICY-BLINDED.
Perhaps the case of the parents is
the worst in the whole group, for they
believed it was good policy to fawn
upon the folks that fed them. They
had been depending upon the favor
that this group of rulers gave their
boy and had fattened upon the re-
turns. There were more loaves in
the storehouse and they would miss
no chance at getting a bite. They
loved their boy but they loved bread
more. If he was to be cast out so
that he could not be employed, could
not be received under the roof of any
of the orthodox, could not buy or wor-
ship or approach the holy folks, then
they would have nothing to do with
him either but would stand with the

Kenneth Berkeley is general ad-
mint1trAttve assistant at WRC, whose
pleasing voice is familiar to many
artists who appear on the program
and is sometimes heard over the air.
Berkeley was associated with broad

ing previously been associated with
the radio division Of the United States
Shipping Board
WRC has on its stan two famous
names. They are no other than Flea
nor Glynn and Arthur Conan Doyle.
Eleanor Glynn, In addition to her
secretarial capacity 1T the Offices of

that off tones will be audible to the
listener and the extremely loud tones
will not overtax the capacity of the
apparatus
Receiving sets are found in SO
many varieties that no generaiiZa-
tions are practicable. Some of the
most common sources of trouble,
however. are these. Getting good re-
suits with a receiving set is largely
matter of arranging the various
pieces of apparatus with proper
understanding of their characteristics.
Transformers have been the causes
of considerable trouble, although
when the correct types are used sat
isfactory operation is obtained. Head
sets, amplifiers and loud speakers OF
correct design will also tend to pre-
vent the distortion which too com
monty characterizes the output of an
amateurs outfit.
With the broadcasting apparatus
now available practically perfect
transmission can be obtained, al
though with most OF the loud speak

simple in this stage Of development.
Members can be recruited far faster
thru individual solicitation and or
ganization among those who are
drawn into cooperative action with
us in these united fronts than by an
abstract general invitation
The issue is not the straw-man,
Communist Party versus Farmer
Labor Party The issue is: What
shall be the Communist attitude to-
ward the labor party movement in
view of its betrayal by all elements
except ourselves?"
We Have Faith In Party.
The issue is not that the minority
have no faith" in the Workers Party.
They have more faith in it and in the
revolutionary integrity Of its mem
bers than have the majority, and they
prove it by their willingness to throw
the party into open struggle with the
liberals and the labor bureaucrats for
the theological leadership Of that part
of the working class that has shown
the urge to class conquest Of political
power. Whatever fears of "contami-
nation" or infection" there may have
been to hold anyone back two years
ago, the conduct of our party MEM
bership during the long and difficult
1924 campaign has been such that
we can feel sure Of ourselves now.
The rank and file has shown fully as
much firm understanding as has its
leadership, and it has shown self
discipline enough to follow Loyalty
even when believing the leadership
was mistaken. More cannot be de-
manded from any party. Greater
faith" cannot be expressed in any
organization.
We do not oppose change because
it is change. The administration
wants to alter a major tactic, 1t wants
to drop the united front campaign for
labor party. We do not say that
this is the only united front. We do
not say that we must campaign for
labro party forever and ever, Amen.
We do say that this slogan is not
dead as long as economic conditions
remain as they are and militant sup
porters of working class political
action remain enmeshed in the tolls
Of liberalism or the labor bureaucracy.
We challenge the administration to
justify the change either on the basis
of economic change of political devel-
opment. These two form the bases
that determine changes in Communist
tactics and until case is made out
on these grounds the old tactic sup
ported in national convention and by
the Communist International must
stand unchanged.

sterilizing it for this election. The
election campaign is over, they are
thru. Next time they will try it again.
But is that also our position? On
election night our chairman an
nounces, 1--WE are thru with the farm
er-labor party slogan" The inference
to be drawn by our friends in the
labor movement is a painful one.
More "Straw-men.v
We do not say that the labor party
is the only form that the united front
can take. That is a straw-man. We
do say that with our own intense
trade union campaign for this policy
still fresh in the minds of our sup
porters, with the fizz1e of liberalism
itself destroying the illusion of quick
and certain immediate success over
that road, with the self-exposure of the
treachery of the labor bureaucrats
still smarting the eyes. of the rank
and file trade unionists who thought
they were getting a class party-we
say that now is the time for our
party to profit from this particular
situation in the continuation of this
slogan Of deep mass appeal, slogan
that is solidly in line with both eco
nomic conditions and political devel-
opments.
Against this the administration,
toadying to an institutional pride that
might abound in the republican party
or in some kindergarten but is luckily
absent in Communist Party, puts
forth the slogan: THE labor party
idea is no good, for class politics join
the Workers Party" Such slogan
would be entirely appropriate in
situation where reformist-ruled labor
party is actually actively defending
and administering the interests of the
capitalist class-it is utterly out of
place two weeks after we ourselves
were still supporting it, six months
after we ourselves we're in danger of
straying as far over the line as have
the masses whom we could help start
but could not stop. It is unheard Of
at time when the labor bureaucrats
sufficiently strong to try to steer their
membership back into the parties of
big capital instead of neutralizing
them in reformist bloc under their
control.
In the present backward state Of
political consciousness on the part of
the American working class, For. a
labor party" is a revolutionary mass
slogan that promises the Workers
Party the greatest possible increase
of contact and militant influence. The
cry of "The Workers Party Against

course OF action, but we must always
assign solid reasons acceptable to the
working class, acceptable at least to
those militants that more or less con-
sistently follow our banner. We must
not only give these reasons, we must
terminate campaign in such a man
ner that our position is clear and
unmistakable before the workers. To
do otherwise puts us in the light Of
political tricksters in the eyes of
those workers who are left high and
dry as the result of response to our
agitation; no more harmful result
could be forged against the growth of
our movement.
Assorted United Fronts.
The administration has not fought
for its new position on the ground
of its economic basis nor of its politi-
cal consequences. 1t has virtually
said "We are tired of this campaign,
let's try something else, here is a
whole assortment of united fronts,
take your pick, don't play with the
same united front all the time" The
premature abandonment of policies
into which we have drawn our unor-
ganized supporters is a very poor
foundation upon which to start new
united front agitations
In meeting the position of the
minority, the administration has not
taken any basic position, it has Gre
ated straw men and proceeded to de-
mclish them. A favorite argument
is that the minority conceive of the
labor party movement as the only
kind of united front in existence.
They mention few others: for ANAL
gamation, protection of foreign born,
unemplOyment-the last one espe-
cially the most consistent opposition
demand even during the time of the
of the labor party united
front The administration still looks
upon it as merely lin the agitational
stage" The united front for amalga-
zion was fine basis from which the
united front for labor party was
made more sure of success. The
united front for protection of the for
eign born was made easier Of realiza-
ton because of the united front for
a labor party which preceded it. The
united front for a child labor cam
paign will be greatly helped provided
we acquit ourselves creditably in the
present critical stage of the labor
party action. 1t, and all other cam
paigns, will be seriously hurt if we
allow our position to be confused with
the hasty desertion of the liberals or
the labor bureaucrats. They could
drop this campaign for working class
politics like hot potato just as soon

two bases: either some fundamental
change in conditions makes a change

Music Study Club Starts Season With Albert
 Spalding

Albert Spalding, America foremost violinist, who appears here next Thurs day evening as the initial feature of the Music study clubs artist concert course, returned to America aboard the Majes- tic on October IA. MT. Spalding left last April for European tour which included Holland, France and Italy. In Holland, Mir. Spalding was soloist with Dr. Karl Muck and the Concertgebouw orchestra in Amsterdam, and in Paris he played for the first time Respighi's s Gregorian Concerto with Koussevitzky' S orchestra. Mir Spalding then spent some time in England at Shakespeare home, Stra tford -on- -AvOl, resting before his strenuous concert tour, which begins at once.
 This will be the biggest season of Mir. Spalding's career, as he will appear in more than 90 concerts, with 15 appear ances on the Pacific coast, four appear ances with the New York Symphony or chestra, and five with the Boston Sym phony. He will open his tour with a recital at Sharon, Pa, and will give his first New York recital Sunday after noon, November ?, at Carnegie hall, and comes to Birmingham Thursday, No vember 6, where he will appear at Phil lips auditorium for one night only.
