THE GATE-POST
by Harold PhiIliD.

Insinuating letter from the
morning mail:
Dear Mr.. Phillips:
Although | hesitate to en-
trust my pen to such delicate
subject, perhaps you can set my
mind at rest about problem
which has perplexed me ever
since was a boy in high
school.
as it true that dramatic edi-
tors are bribed by managers
and press agents, through bland
ishments of more or less ma
terial nature, to treat their par
ticular interests with loving
kindness throughout the glad
new year? | have often had
this told to me, but have scorned
to give credence to the vile
story.
81 have also been informed
that dramatic editors are gem
orally a pretty dissipated lot,
and have little or no work to do,
outside of going to shows and
writing what they please about
them.
as any of this true? Because
if / am assured of a nice, clean
graft and sufficient dissipation
to drown my memory of dog
town shows, I will endeavor
most earnestly to direct my foot
steps and those of my friends
in the higher paths of dramatic
criticism"
The mad farce of New Year
resolutions soon will be upon
us, and the Gatepost fairly
creaks with suggestions for our
footlight friends.
In this matter Of making reso-
buttons, it is always well to bear
in mind that the best vows are
those which can be easily kept,
because in that case they do not
embarrass the thoughts and
acts of their maker. 1t is sug-
gested, then:
For David Belasco: l will not
pose for collar ads.
For William Harris: | solemn

to expose tpe schemes OF Gar
vey to fleece Negro workers of
their hard-earned dollars with
his fraudulent "Black Star
Line"
Since knew that you were fully
informed Of the struggle by the news
releases of the Crusader Service
which Comrade Briggs sent you, then
the only conclusion can come to is
that Friend Garvey has reformed
since he left the Tombs where he was
sent after his B. s. l.. was found to
be fraudulent affair. This, altho
possible, is hardly probable when 1
recall the corruption that was ram
part in his organization and which
was exposed not only by the Negro
press but also by Claude Mckay in
the Liberator and by Owen and Ran
dolph in the N. Y. Call
You will not be surprised at my
amazement when you recall also the
libel suits for several hundred thous-
and dollars which Garvey brot against
Briggs, The Call and several others
and which were all, think, thrown
out of court.
In view Of the above, it certainly
would be pleasure to learn that
Marcus Garvey has become what the
Worker represents him to be.
Hoping to hear from you relative to
the above, l am

BROWDER ROASTS
BRITISH LABOR
PARTY DEFENDER
MacD Donald Government
Irnperialist Tool

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. .s.-One
of the best debates Of recent days
took place here Monday night, August
9TH, between Earl r. Browder, editor
Of the Labor Herald, and John l..
Jones, former lecturer for the Bril-
fish Labor Party.
The question debated was. IRE
solved: That the policy Of the British
Labor Party is detrimental to the in
terests Of the working class" Com
rade Browder took the affirmative and
Mr.. Jones the negative.
Flags Yellow Socialists.
A fine crowd turned out and whoop-
ed it up for Comrade Browder's lam
bacting Of the yellow socialist labor
ties who, now the governmental tools
of British imperialism, are trying to
attach the English proletariat to the
imperialist machine in its bloody
business of colonial exploitation. Nor
were the miseries of the working
class of England one whit lightened
by this collaboration with capitalist
Imperialism through the Labor Party
policy.
Mr.. Jones, sadly, did not have the
best of the argument. The Labor
Party's policy Of abolishing the i'm
port duty on automobiles, and other
widely heralded constructive" poll
cies, found as little response among
Kansas City workers as among those
Of England.
editorial note: The above ar
rived at the same hour as news Of
the vicious raid of the tabor" gov
eminent on the British Communist
Party This seems to settle the de-
bate.)

Thru an error it was reported in the
DAILY WORKER that ]. ]. Uhlmann
was nominated in the Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor as delegate to the III
inois Federation convention, as one of
the candidates of the left wing. This
is an error. Brother Uhlmann does
not identify himself with the left wing
altho he is in favor of some of the
measures advocated by them, and in
addition to this, he has declined the
nomination on the grounds that he
was delegate last year.

Iowa Stirred Up by
Arrest of Klansmen
On Assault Charges

Especial to The DAILY WoRkER)
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. s. A
tense situation had developed at Ana

anti-Klan forces over the arrest of
Everett Isswen Of Dubuque and Ed
ward Halligan Of Monticello, alleged
Klansmen, on the charge of assault
with intent to commit great bodily in

The trouble was caused by Lemen

the idea of presenting them at Khan

fered us by comrade Zimmerman to
make clear the following important
points involved In his pertinent com
munication:
We have not changed our funda-
mental attitude towards Marcus Gar.
vey. We are today as much opposed
to his schemes for Negro promised
land in Africa as we ever were. We
not only do not endorse but totally
repudiate all schemes like Garvey's
BLACK Star Line" as means of lib
Grating the oppressed and exploited
Negro masses. Such commercial,
semi-commercial, and fantastic pro-
posals, even when they are conceived
in the highest sincerity, do not hold
out any hope for the great mass of
Negro workers.
Winning Them for Communism.
We are working with the Universal
Negro Improvement Association not
because its President, Marcus Gar
vey, has improved enuf or even
changed at all in the last two years
to suit our view of what the Ameri-
can Negroes must do to win their
freedom. AS a matter of fact, the
reason for our working with the Uni
versal Negro Improvement Associa-
ton is because we desire 10 win over
the masses, organizationally and ideo-
logically, following this association
for the Communist program. We are
striving to win these masses away
from the useless schemes, away from
the false race Messiahs, away from
the inadequate and unrealistic pro-
gram to revolutionary, to a Com
munist program.
1t is our task in working amongst
the masses found here, to supplant
the present weak, confused, and hest
tating leadership with a virile, class
conscious and aggressive Commun-
list leadership. We are aiming to win
over these Negro masses to fight I'M
der a genuine revolutionary leader
ship, to fight for the Negro workers,
primarily on class basis, and to
unity the struggles of the workers of
every country and color.
Reaching the Masses.
In the course of our propaganda
and activity in this field, we will not
hesitate to expose and mercilessly
criticise all those, whether it be Gar
vey or any other Of the present lead
ers, who stand in the way of the ach-
ievement of our fullest program-the
Communist program. Today, as two
years ago, we were committed to but
one purpose in our work amongst the
masses-Negroes, Whites, Malays,-
the winning over of these workers to
complete class consciousness, to uni
fed working class action under the
leadership of the world Communist
Party, the Communist International.
1t is not the Garveys, or the other
leaders that we are bending all our
energies to win, but is is their fol-
lowers whom we are seeking to>make
Communists out of and to win foH3he
Communist movement.
