Jour comrades has been treated like
an enemy instead of friend by those
lprogressives whom we were expecting
to get into the Party" as a result
Of the policy dictated by the Gee. II
this is the case, comrades, then you
have the best evidence that those pro-
gressives whom you expect to get into
the Party are far from being ripe for
membership in our Party. 1t is in the
conflicts which arise in the United
Front that the test is made whether
any of the progressives are ready for
membership in our Party. Those pro-
gressives who stand with us and work
with us in spite of the fact that we
show our Communist face and fol-
low our Communist policies, are the
ones who are ripe for Party member.
ship, not those who desert us and
become our enemies the moment we
show in the least that we are Com
munists.
In closing your letter, you ask the
question, 1.-THE question is what is
really the policy Of our Party in re-
gard to the Labor Party. Have we
meant anything by all our propagan-
da or not? We answer that we
have meant everything that we have
said in regard to the FLIP. We an
swer that it will be great step for
ward for the American Labor move
ment if mass party on national
scale is formed which will throw the
workers and farmers into the strug-
gle against the capitalist parties, but
we answer also that we cannot be
satisfied, we Communists, with the
attainment of the goal Of the forma-
ton of such party. That is not
the goal which we are striving for.
Our aim is, for the formation of such
a Party, and then to work within that
Party and force it forward, step by
step, as the lessons of experience
make possible, into more revolution
airy action against the capitalist gov
eminent. That is our task as a
Communist Party. We cannot fulfill
that task unless we raise, in contrast
to the FLIP program, the Communist
program-unless we point out to the
worker and farmers, as the struggle
goes on, that there is something more
to be done than the FLIP program
calls for
In Minnesota, we have taken the
first step to perform this Communist
duty, we have made the first move
to differentiate ourselves as Commun-
lists from the Farmer-Laborites The
result, comrades, in place Of bringing
the calamity which you fear, has al
ready been to greatly strengthen our
Party.
For all of those reasons, the Gee
has not concurred in your proposal
that our candidates in the Eighth
Congressional district withdrawn. 1t
instructs the Party membership in
that district to carry on Commun-
list campaign, to nominate our candi-
dates as the candidates of the FLIP in
the FL primaries. If we are defeated
in the primaries, then we shall pledge
our support in the election campaign
and will vote for, at the November
elections, the candidate who is nom
mated by the FLIP.
We trust that this statement of the
Party policy will clarity the issue for
you and that you will see the correct
ness of the policy which has ben au-
thorized by the Gee.
Fraternally your,
(Signed) c. e. RUTHENBERG,
Executive Secretary.

NEW YORK CITY
Party Activities

NEW YORK CITY, May 6.-Despite
the fact that permit for parade
was refused at the last moment, the
workers gathered on the streets to
show their solidarity with the work
ers the world over, and to protest
against the various laws now before
Congress aimed to keep out the for
eign born workers. The workers
gathered to demonstrate for the for.
nation Of a Farmer-Labor Party and
a workers and farmers government.
The May Day demonstrations this
year were the most successful in the
history of the radical workers of New
York. During the afternoon a num-
Der of open air meetings were held,
and in each large and enthusiastic
audience gathered to celebrate labor's

Socialists Try to Steal Meeting.
On Rutgers Square the Socialist
Party tried to hold a meeting on the
same spot that the United Front MAY
Day Conference advertised a meeting.
The police at first tried to prohibit us
from holding the meeting in favor of
the s. P. When that failed we were
informed that neither of us would be
allowed to hold meeting. However.
after protracted negotiations. both
with the inspector and the chief in
spector, we were given permission to
hold the meeting, all the protests
of the Forward, notwithstanding
When we were finally permitted TO
hold the meeting the large crowd that
had assembled sent up a mighty
cheer. The meetings in Harlem and
Brooklyn were also rousing sue
cesses.
During the evening a number Of in.
door demonstrations were held in
New York and Brooklyn. At Central
Opera House, 9th street and 3rd ave.
nue., by z p. m, there was a crowd
ready to enter. BY $3.50 every inch
of space was occupied, the balconies
were damned and a good number Of
people filed the aisles. Even before
the meeting there were spontaneous

The May Day spirit of international
solidarity captured the crowd and
lasted after the meeting, when a large
number of comrades sang on the way
to the subway station.
Juliet Stuart Poyntz, Harry Whit
sky, Tom Lewis, Becker and Krum-
bein were all greeted with enthusiast
tic cheers. The Hungarian Singing
Society opened up the meeting with
the singing of the 'Internationale.
Among the otheF article D~h--t

In the Brooklyn Labor Lyceum an
other rousing meeting was held. Ev-
1ery nook and corner of the hall was
occupied until there was no more
standing room left. The speakers
were Cosgrove, Lily Lore, Bimba and
Nesin, chairman. An excellent mu-
steal program rounded out the eve
ming. The Finnish, Czecho-Slovakian
and Ukrainian comrades held their
own meetings.

Milwaukee Workers
Hold May Day Fest
While S. p. Silent

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, May Gone Of
the largest May Day celebrations was
arranged by the Workers Party in
Milwaukee, Wis. Over seven hun
bred people attended the United Front
May Day meeting.
In a masterful speech Browder out
lined the success of the revolutionary
movement for the past year. One Of
the greatest achievements of the In
ternational movement, he said is the
creation of the Communist Interna-
tional and its sections thruout the
world. The workingclass is no longer
blindly cropping about, but is march
ing forward under the intelligent lead
ership of the Communist Parties.
Peter Herd, member of the Young
Workers League delivered very en-
thusiastic appeal calling upon the
youth to celebrate the May Day by
joining the Young Workers League.
In honor of Comrade Lenin and
other martyrs of revolutionary move
ment, the Russian chorus sang the
Funeral March. A very fine musical
program was given by two German
singing societies. Several organiza-
tons have participated in this united
front celebration including the entire
Arbeiter-Ring organization.
In addition to this large demonstra-
ton arranged by the City Central
COMMITTEE, language branches of the
Workers Party had also organized
May Day celebrations. Hungarians
and Russians at Miller's hall, South
Slavic at South Side Turner hall.

They tell me this Is leap wear and l
 know that 1t is true. It's been impressed upon me tlii l
 know 1t through and through, Old Lady Luck's been with me and
 I've kept alive so far, For every year is leap year for man
 without a car. They say that leap year only comes
 one year in every four But that's not true. I've leaped so
 much that it's got to be bore, And up until the present I've escaped
 without a scar. For every year Is leap year for the
 man without car. But am apprehensive as l walk from
 day to day, That sometime I'll forget to leap or
 leap right in the way. And if I do I'm pretty sure my fea-
 lures it will mar Every year is leap year unless you drive a car.
