FEAR CLAUSE IN BILL.


Exile of American citizens would
become legalized possibility if the
words ''or remain" are not stricken
out of section 23 of the Johnson immi-
grafton bill, the American Civil Lib
ment last night The union pointed
out that the original section said "the
right of any Individual to enter or
remain in the. United States must be
proved by that individual, and that
he could be deported IL unable to
establish his innocence Of any un-
supported charge made against him.
The House and Senate Immigration
committees have amended the section
to conf1ne its application to aliens,
says the union, but it argues that the
burden of proof still rests upon the
person threatened with deportation,
that it is unconstitutional and that
American citizens might be deported
under the words or remain"

the Workers Party is good enough for

capitalism teaches the necessity of la

which only proves that it is Comrade
Ruthenberg who is very much "up In

not the Central Executive Committee.

Workers Party in this struggle within
our party is to deliver such severe
defeat to farmer-laborism that it will

These dauntless proletarians of the
plains voted for Coolidge! By this
master-stroke they accomplished three
things: First, they proved that 1.-The

minority with an argument in favor
of their thesis. 1t is as good as any
argument the minority have.

One more quotation from Comrade
Lovestone's article will complete the
proof that his conception of ian in
tensified campaign for class farmer

ception of the "the united front from

tons and conferences with reformist
leaders Of reformist organizations.
Moreover, it will show that he con-
dennis our Communist action in en-
tering the Workers Party in the cleo
ton campaign under its own banner
because it alienated some of these re-
formist leaders.
Comrade Lovestone's Exhibit B" is
the farmer-labor party of Washington,
reformist party, predominently ag-
rarian and based on individual mem
bership. Comrade Lovestone is very
indulgent towards this so.called party
He says, it merely endorsed LaFol-

A FARMER-LABOR IDEA OF WORKING
CLASS POLITICAL ACTION

again, when Bob" Minor draws a
splendid cartoon showing the farmer
with his furniture on his back and his
family bringing up the rear on their
way to the city, he brings out his
farmer, throws a fstful Of dirt ON
him and gives him the leading post
ton in his farmsr-labor act.
Amazing Confusion.
AS Ruthenberg is the accepted
leader of the farmer-labor wing of the
Workers Party, it is only fair that his
position should be subjected to an
alysis as the viewpoint of his faction.
Therefore his article in the December
issue the The Workers Monthly, en-.
titled: us the Movement Towards
Class Political Action Dead?" has
added Importance in that II does not
represent merely the views OF the
author but of definitely organized
group, on the central executive COM
mittee and thruout the party.
The very title OF this article is
nothing short of amazing as It puts
the x-ray on Comrade Ruthenberg's DO
litical mind. II he had posed the ques-
ton us the Movement Towards the Or
ganization Of Mass Farmer-Labor
Party Dead?" one might dispute his
analysis OF the present situation; one
might dispute his facts. but such a
title would not leave him open to the
suspicion that he does not consider
the Workers Party a party OF class
political action. This is serious
frame of mind for the executive sec.
rotary Of section OF the Communist
international TO find himself in.

ing manner in which we handled our
change in policy then was especially

Here in plain words we have the
real policy of Comrade Lovestone
which is the policy of the minority
The evasive, double-meaning language
Of the minority thesis is put aside.
The mask of MARKHAM phraseology is
torn off and the party has an oppor-
tunity to see the ugly face of oppor-
tunism that hid behind it.
The minority thesis speaks very
vaguely and evasively about the
means to be employed to form the "po-
Iitical united front" by organizing a

Lovestone makes the matter clear.

to do and do it. Then these leaders
will not "be tempted to drive their fol

These leaders, who, according to
Comrade Lovestone are, after all, not
so bad, delivered their organization
to LaFollette; they drove their fol
lowers into the LaFollette election
camp; and they maligned and de-
nounced our party and its candidates.

BY T. J. o'FLAHERTY.

Whether the Workers Party shall
follow the policy mapped out for it
by the central executive committee,
that is, the policy of building itself
into a powerful mass Communist
party, or whether it shall dissipate its
energies in juggling with a fake
farmerlabor party, a thing without
any visible means of support and to
which the Workers Party must play
the role of wet nurse, is the big ques-
ton that the next party convention
must decide. The object of the pres
ent discussion initiated by the central
executive committee is to clarity the
minds of the membership so that they
shall be able to decide intelligently
which policy to adopt and elect dele
gates to the next convention on the
basis of that decision.
The central executive committee,
led by Foster, has formulated a policy
in accordance with the basic tactic
of the Communist International, /. e.,
the united front from below.
The central executive committee in
its theses offers proof that the politi-
cal and industrial battlefields OF
America are not so lacking in fertility
that their output is limited to only
one slogan, For a Glass Farmer-Labor
Party''-which is constantly trimmed
by the Ruthenberg minority faction
in accordance with the financial and
commercial statistics cleaned from the
columns OF the New York Times, the
Wall Street Journal and the Annalist,
organs Of big capital, but by no means
as infallible.
Like the capain Of a gas balloon,
who drops ballast when atmospheric
pressure weighs heavily on his ship,
Comrade Ruthenberg drops his
farmer cargo when he learns from the
New York Times that there is a rise
IN the price of alfalfa or turnips. And

notice that our insurance policy was
due and also several bills that we
all get on the first of the month.
We looked at these, then thought
of the few dollars we had in the
bank and wondered how we were
going to pay them. As we walked
out of the postoffice we thought
what a cruel world this was and
how unfortunate we were to be
poor.
Standing at the foot of the post
office steps was a man, blind, Grip
