THE Fifth Anniversary of the
a founding of the Communist In
ternational should be day of re-
joicing to the workers of the
whole world.
The Communist International
came into the world as the new
rallying centre of the revolution
airy workers fighting against CAPT
talism in the hour of betrayal by
the Second International and the
parties Of which it was composed.
During the past five years the
Communist international has grown
from the small group Of men as
sembled in the Kremlin on March
9Th, 1919, and their few tens of
thousands of followers to an or
ganization which has won loyalty
and devotion of millions Of work
ers.
Today the Communist Interna-
tional has its sections in practical
ly every country in the world.
Wherever there are men and women
who fight against the exploitation
and oppression of capitalism, there
are the supporters of the Commune
list International.
On this Fifth Anniversary Of the
founding Of the Communist Inter-
national, the Central Executive
Committee of the Workers Party
believes that il should make clear
to those workers who do not know
what the Communist International
Is, what 1t stands for and the ends
1t is seeking 70 achieve.
The Communist International
declares that we are living in the
period of the disintegration Of the
capitalist system of production.
Conflicting forces within the capt.
talist system are destroying it.
These forces expressed themselves
in the World War, which was a
direct outgrowth Of the imperialist
capitalist development. During the
war the capitalist system generated
new forces of destruction which
are undermining the whole eco
nomic foundation Of capitalist
society.
The disintegration Of capitalism
is apparent In every European
country. All the efforts Of the
statesmen and economists Of CAPT.
talist Europe have been unable to
restore capitalist production in
Europe TO the conditions Of 1914.
While there is an ebb and fow OF
capitalism the dominating tenden-
cy Is downward to the disintegra-
ton of the entire capitalist system
Of production.
The forces which are bringing

zINOvIEv SEES
JAP And GERMAN
VICTORIES SOON
Halls Communist Work
in America


MOSCOW, March 4.--In Pravda
article that CLOVIS with confidence for
the future of the world revolutionary
movement zinoviev halls the progress
of the American Communist move
ment and declares that Japan is likely
soon to be the scene of a great rev.
dictionary uprising. He sees Com
munism triumphing in Germany in
the near future.
The famous Communist leader di-
reefs attention to England as an
enormously important factor in the
world movement. When Communism
gains sufficiently in England, he said,
the workers in the suppressed East
will free themselves.
Zinoviev says the centre of the in
ternational Communist organization
can be transferred from Moscow to a
more industrialized country after the
first decisive victory over the Euro
pean bourgeoisie.
The principal aims of the Commun-
list International for the next five
years, as outlined by Zinoviev, are as
follows:
German Revolution.
1. To strive in the nearest future
for proletarian revolution in Ger
many, in which the Communists of
Russia, Poland, Austria, Czecho-
slovakia and France should be
ready to aid.
2. The creation of strong Com
munist party in England.
3. All-around help to American
and japanese Communists.
a. Assistance to the Polish party.
5. Assistance to the Bulgarian
Communists, where the events of
1923 are only preliminary to the
general Balkan struggle.
6. More and still more attention
to the East.
7. The attraction of a majority
Of the workmen to the ranks Of the
international, and those countries
in which communism already is
strong must prepare to direct the
struggle.
8. Where the organization is
complete it must organize into real
Communist parties.
8. To improve the relations be-
tween workers and peasants.
10. Give attention to the pro-
blems of national minorities and
colonial questions.
III. More attention to the Young
Communist movement.
Red Trade Unions.
IL. Full support Of the "Red'
trades uniorf.
ID. The proposition Of united
front Of all the Internationals.
ID. The consolidation Of interna-
tional discipline and order, saying:
'0ur policy may be directed a very
short time from Moscow and after
ward transferred to another central
country with greater percentage
of the proletariat after our first
decisive victory over the European
bourgeoisie."
is. To assist the first proletarian
State, Russia.

"Injunctions Make No Dresses
Virtual admission of the futility
and illegality of the Sullivan injunc-
tons were made yesterday by the
failure of police to arrest any union
lists for violation of the writs. The
five workers arrested on Milwaukee
avenue, the three on Roosevelt Road,
nine on S. Market street by the po-
lieee and four more by the special
strikebreaking cops of States Attor-
ney Grove, were all held on disor-
DERBY conduct charges-as pickets.
"Injunctions make no dresses" is
the phrase which ripples along among
the strikers in the dressmaking zones.
+ Students Picket.
Four students from the Women's
Trade Union League Training School
and the University of Chicago, went
on the picket line yesterday, aroused
by the high handed action of Judge
Denis Sullivan and did yeoman's serv-
ice in the drizzle.
The issue is making the same
dramatic appeal as did the famous
New York garment strike of 1918.

Europe are apparent in the United
States. Since the war this country
has experienced one bitter period
of hard times and unemployment
and in spite of all that the capt.
talist can do our system of produc-
ton stands trembling on the brink
Of another period of breakdown.
This period of decay and destruc-
ton Of the capitalist system, which
may extend over decades of time,
will bring upon the workers every

ready in Germany millions Of peo-
pie are starving because Of the
condition created by the disintegra-

unemployment of close TO million
workers has been chronic since the
end of the war because of the same
causes. The conditions in other
capitalist countries is only a diff
ference of degrees. The same
forces of disintegration are at work
and threaten to bring the same
conditions everywhere.
There Is only one way in which
the workers Of the world can save
themselves from all the misery,
suffering and bloodshed which the
dying capitalist order brings into

Pacific Crew Rapidly Taking
Front Place in COL
Iegiate Rowing

The University Of Washington
seems destined to take the place Of
Cornell as the leading rowing college
In America. Two successive vic.
tories in the intercollegiate regatta
at Poughkeepsie are not as signifi.
cant as the manner in which they
were won. And the reason seems
to be that no other college is so
favored by training conditions.
The University of Washington is
situated on O strip Of land with wa.
ter on both sides. The crews row
in Lake Washington, large, deep
body Of water surrounded by pine.
covered mountain ridges.
On this lake there is seldom any
wind. The surface is like a mirror.
In winter there is much rain, but
no intense cold. The crews start
training very early.
Where Eastern crews have to
work during the winter indoors the
Washington oarsnnen train in the
open air and can row on Lake
Washington every day, rain or
shine.
The Washington oarsmen row
stripped to the waist. When East.
ern crews have hardly felt the sun
and are still white skinned, the
Washington oarsmen are weathered
to the color of Indians and tough.
ened and hardened by daily ex.
posture to air, sun and rain.
Washington draws it's students
from the home State. Practically
every oarsman is a Washington
man, brought up in the big pine
woods, with a record of outdoor life
at all seasons.
They grow big in Washington. OF
all the men out for this years
crews only one oarsman was under
six feet tall and the average Is a
little over six feet two.

Of play. The Olympic games are
something moro than mere recreat
ton. The idea IL to produce the
highest form of physical develop
ment. To accomplish this, the
athlete must be subject to scien.
tific physical development. This
can be brought about only through
strict training, a method which
the Europeans refuse to adopt.
So If the French rugby team
was not trained as well as the
American team, that can hardly be
advanced as a good excuse for
defeat. Training methods are not
secret, the best methods being
available for any trainer who cares
to use them. The Europeans have
seen the benefits OF American
training for several years now, but
for some reason or other stub
bornly refuse to recognize their
efficiency.
There will be no uncertainty
about the training Of the OlyHI
pic team which goes to Paris
next month. Special attention
will be given to diet by the train
ers. Change of food has In the
past lost many q race. The
American team this year will
take along sufficient quantities
OF the ordinary foOdstuffs to pre-
vent any radical change in diet.
The sectional trials for the can.
didates for the track team will soon
be under way, and, as past per.
formances will have no bearing on
the choice OF the candidates, the
old-timers will have to be in their
best form to hold their own with
the new generation of athletes who
are making a strong bid for Olym.

The track and field competition
is regarded as the most interesting
feature Of the Olympic games. and
It is in these branches OF sport
that the United States really ex
cells. The American team also
looks for its usual clean sweep in
the swimming competition. The
country Isl being more thoroughly
