Communist viewpoint.
a. Certain Of our sections require
special attention in carrying on the
work Of Bolshevization Of the party
There are large numbers Of members
in some language sections who have
no understanding of what it means to
be a Communist and member Of
Communist Party. We must, in coop
Grafton with the bureau of such sec
tions begin systematic work to draw
these members into the actual activi-
ties of the party and carry on an edu.
cational campaign to give them Com.
munist understanding Our party can.
not be merely the means Of maintain.
ing social activities for any section Of
its membership. Such membership
is a source Of weakness and not Of
strength.
z. OrnanizatlonaI Steps.
1. Our party has not given sufici-
ent attention to the organizational
work of the party, either in bringing
into the party new members or the
strengthening of the party structure.
We must increase this phase Of work
in the future thru the following steps:
(a) Continued organized efforts to
bring the workers whom we win thru
our agitation and propaganda and
thru our united front maneuvers into
the party. The organization Of shop
nuclei will give us powerful weapon
to draw into the party those workers
from the shops, the very elements
which are most needed to strengthen
the party.
(b) Close attention to the organiza
tional functioning Of the party with
the view of Strengthening the party
structure, and teaching the party
units constructive methods Of conduct
ing their work.
(c) There are dangers Of new at
itacks on our organization as VIZ
more actively participate in the class
struggle and we must take immediate
steps to organize the necessary ap
paratus which will take charge of the
party in case Of new prosecutions
against it.

has been somewhat pushed in
the background heretofore due
to the reorganization of the
league, factory campaigns, etc.
Comrade Shachtman reported very
ably on this subject. He pointed out
that the American league has now
reached the third period in the de-
velopment OF economic trade union
work, namely the period Of propa-
ganda for number of special de-
mands and the struggle for these de-
mands; having passed the period OF
theoretical discussion and that OF the
journalistic propaganda, our struggle
for the immediate demands can begin
in the trade unions where we have
members as well as in the campaigns
in the factories.
Registration Must Be Complete.

Chicago has been instructed to com

5. The Tasks Of the Workers Party.
/. Based upon the foregoing analys-
is Of the economic and political situa-
ton the tasks Of our party are:
A. The United Front Tactics.
/. The Fifth Congress Of the Com
munist international reiterated its en-
dorsement of the tactic Of the United
Front as "a method for agitation and
revolutionary mobilization of the pro
letariat." Our party must continue to
apply the United Front tactic for
these purposes.
2. The economic situation Of capital
ism will produce recurring crises.
During these crises the capitalists
continually seek to force down the
wages of the workers, lengthen hours
and in other ways improve their posi-
ton in relation to the workers. Unem.
ployment on a large scale is one of
the features OF these crises. The move
ments of resistance against these con-
ditions on the part Of the workers
create the favorable conditions for the
application Of the United Front Our
party must be in the forefront of
these struggles. 1t must take the lead.
ership in raising the issue of the class
struggle and developing slogans with
which to rally the workers for com
mon struggle against the capitalists.
1t must call upon all working class or
CARNATIONS to form united front in
fighting these struggles. 1t is only
by thus openly standing in the fore
front of the fight for the workers
against the capitalists on questions Of
immediate interest of the workers that
we can win leadership over the work
ing masses and of the poorer farmers

will be made to get every member OF
the league into union. Our union
members will have to work in much
closer cooperation with our party
than heretofore and wherever possible

comrades working in one industry

4 Of Life. has written sort Of
esthete's Bible.
This is the testament If priest
who has spent his long life in chant
ing great, solemn hymns to intellec-
tual beauty.
The Saviour in his testament is
Leonardo de Vinci; and the God in
it is that mystic rythym that binds
music, philosophy, science, thinking,
all the life Of rocks md trees, birds
and flowers and stars. the body and
soul of men, the body and soul OF
the universe, into a cosmic harmony
for which the symbol Is the dance.
Life is a dance, and Havelock
Ellis stands before it in rapture,
an esthete ravished by the spectacle
Of the world.
HaveIock Ellis is one Of the most
learned men alive, and one Of the
wisest. And he writes with the
glory OF young poet, and the far
reaching experience Of mellow
scientist.
But / miss something IN his tes-
lament. I feel like a peasant in a

Life, but a concept built by man. It
is beauty felt by the brain; but
1t is not the earth, and the cities.
and the problems Of bread, love,
birth and death. These things cam

The House of Representatives has adopted
a so-called soldier bonus measure by the ire
mendous vote Of 355 to 50. This is enough to
override Coolidge veto.
The bonus measure is a miserable COM
promise with the demands of the ex-soldiers.
1t is a fraud in the light of what those who
have bled for the preservation of capitalist
democracy have been asking for. 1t is drop
Of at least SO per cent from what even the
American Legion has been asking
Most OF the little that will be paid will be
IN the form OF insurance policies. No less than
3,O38,283 ex-soldiers will be given insurance
policies instead of a real bonus. Two years
from the date of the enactment of the bill, if
1t ever will become law, the soldiers will be
able to exercise the great privilege of borrow
ing money on these policies and paying of
course, handsome interest fees on the money
thus borrowed.
Only 3S9,853 ex-soldiers will receive cash
payments of $50 or less This is the best that
the capitalist legislators can do for the men
who have .risked their lives to defend the pres
ent system of exploitation.
And 865,741 workers and farmers, whom
the government drove off the farms and out of
the mills, mines and factories to the army
camps Will not receive a single cent of bonus.
But even this fraudulent bonus has a long
road to travel before it can become law. The
Senate fire must still be faced Most likely
the bill will fall into the hands of a senate
committee to arrange for an agreement with
the House. Then it will be sent back to the
House for approval The mighty pen Of the
capitalist agent Coolidge will then be welded
merc1lessly unless sufficient majority is Sc
cured to override the presidential veto.
How different this lengthy painful process
OF legislation is from the speedy manner in
which the Esh- Cummins Law, granting bonus
Oh hundreds OF millions of dollars to the rail-
road capitalists, was enacted
1t is only because the government we have
today is capitalist government owned out
right by the employing class that a bonus of
even the mildest brand has so many obstacles
to hurdle, while fabulous bonuses totallinr
billions of dollars are granted to the exploiters
with such ease.
