damned spoil" Between the revolu-
tionary child the bond of comrade-
ship must be established. The child
must be treated as young, inexperi-
enced comrade, who relies upon the
adult for support and guidance in
his own struggles. The love" which
parents ordinarily bestow upon their
children is relationship based on the
child's meekness, upon ignorance, up
on imposed authority True love of
children depends upon an understand
ing of their problems and battles, in
the home and in the class struggle.
In the junior groups of the Young
Workers League, in the Communist
children's groups all over the world,
this new bond is being formed. A new
relationship is springing up. 1t is
based on a new community life; it is
expressed in wide comprehension,
common struggles, mutual aid and
conradeship. In the groups there is
no authority but that of the children

leaders and the children have two
courses open to them. They can raise
the cry Of the pen-prostitutes of capt.
talism who shout that the Communists
are breaking up the home, and thus
play into the hands of their class en-
emies; or they can burn out the dross
Of bourgeois prejudices and theology,
and accept the new relationship.
The group leader is the new par
ent, and the new educator. The Com
munist child is the fighter of today
and the embodiment Of the child of
the new society. To the hesitating
parents can do no better than to
quote from one of Edwin Hoernle's
pamphlets: children naturally ex-
pect and depend upon the support Of
the adults. The bourgeois education
al system utilities this inclination to
make the children conform to rules
and regulations which insure the
comfort and peace of the adults. Com
munist education teaches the child
to overcome this inclination and to
accustom himself to Independence"
Let the working class parents signify
their assent by aiding us in our work
of building the Communist movement
among their own children!

felt the iniquities of capitalism. They
know what it is to be wage slaves,
to toll long hours for a meager wage,
to attempt to support a proletarian
family. But instead of seeking to
train their children in the battle
against the vicious system, instead of
instilling into the children an I'M
dying hatred Of bourgeois society, and
the ideas and principles Of revolution,
they too often sacrifice all to make a
business man out of him. How well
we know the parent who denies him
self everything, who scrimps and
scrapes together enough money to
send his boy to university out of
which the youth comes with a clear
memory of fraternities, college yells,
piffle about the "or Alma Mater,
and the parting recommendation to
some shyster lawyer where he is to
receive his practical training"

By ALEXANDER sITTELMAN.

THIS is the fundamental question:
How shall we proceed to build
in the United States a mass Com.
munist party? The basis of the c. e.
c. (majority) says: BY building and
strengthening the Workers Party.
To which the minority replies: No.
in order to build mass Communist
party, we the Workers Party, must
first build farmer-labor party and
thru that party we shall create the
mass Communist party.
l will deal with the minority thesis
in my next article Here | want to
state very briefly the position of the
G. e. G. on how we intend to proceed
with the building of the Workers
Party.
When we say that the Workers
Party is good enuf as basis and as
starting point for the creation of
a mass Communist party, and that
it is not our business to create other
political parties for that purpose, we
do not mean, of course. that the
Workers. Party will become a mass
party overnight and by the mere
force of our wishes. No., we are not
so simple or naive as that. We realize
more fully than the minority that the
building of the Workers Party into
a mass party is a process of hard
struggle, involving complicated STRAIT
egg and difficult maneuyering, and
calling for the most active participa-
ton of our party. in the everyday
struggles of the workers. We have
nothing in common with that brand
of Communism which avoids the
masses and their struggles for fear
of losing its purity We are at one
with Lenin in everything he ever
said about the dangers of sectarian
sterility. ss ass ssnt 7s
But at the same time we must
make it as emphatic as we can that
we still have faith in the Workers
Party that we still believe in its
ability to develop and grow and be
come the, recognized leader of the
American working class. We are not
disappointed in the Workers Party.
It All Depends Upon Strategy and
Tactics, 7ec
What we maintain is this; that the
success of the Workers. Party will
depend wholly collective conditions
developing our way) upon its strategy
and tactics. And further. that. our
strategy and tactics must always. be
based upon the realities of the class
struggle. If you accept this principle
then the first question to be answered
is: Where are we att What is the
main link in the chain of present-day
events that we must seize upon and

hold in order to pull developments our
way?
The answer to that question is: The
elementary needs and struggles of the
workers in the shops, factories, mines
railroads, and on the farms. 1t is
there that the masses will feel hard
est the increasing pressure of tri-
umphant capitalist reaction. 1t is
there that revolt is brewing already
And if our party, the Workers Party,
can supply the proper economic, polit
ical, and organizational slogans and
also determined leadership, we shall
have linked ourselves with a growing
mass movement which will carry us
to great accomplishments in the neal
future.
The United Front From Below is the
Way.
In other words, we propose to be-
gin to practice in reality and in earn
est the tactics of the united front
from below. Just the other day we
proposed and adopted in the c. E. G.
a thoro plan for united front cam
paign to combat child labor exploita-
ton. We also provided, something
that has not been done before, for
special subcommittee of the G. r. C.
Ia united front subcommittee
continuously survey the field for the
initiation and development of united
front action on every question that be-
comes a burning issue in the lives Of
the masses, such as child labor, the
Dawes plan, naturalization Of the
mines, etc. The basic principle of all
these campaigns will be to arouse the
masses to struggle, to direct that
struggle into the channels of class Do
litical action in alliance with and un-
der the leadership of the Workers
(Communist) Party.
Furthermore, we do not propose to
wander around aimlessly and without
definite immediate detectives in these
united front campaigns. We have
learned enough from the Communist
international to know that each unit
ed front campaign must pursue de-
finite, concrete and immediate objec-
tive for our party. And we consider
this immediate objective to be two
fold in nature. One is to combat the
LaFollette illusion in the labor move
ment by bringing large masses of
workers into conflict with the c. r.
p. A. and the LaFollette. movement
generally and thereby into conflict
with capitalism The other objective
is to absorb into the ranks of our par
ty the mature sections Of the work
ers and poor farmers. In tfis process
I'VE shall hasten the growth Of our
party and at the same time continue
the development and capitalization Of
a powerful left wing in the American
labor movement following the lead of

the Workers Party on the economic
and political fields.
Farmer-Labor Party is Poor Slogan.
The slogan, For Farmer-Labor
Party" which the minority in their
zeal have elevated to the position Of
a Communist principle, we say is at
present poor slogan. 1t is no Com
munist slogan at all, and for that
reason we reject it.
What is a Communist slogan?
1t is a tactical means of mobiIizing
large masses of workers and poor
farmers for immediate struggles
against the capitalists. A Commu-
mist slogan must, first, be of such a
nature as to appeal to large masses.
Second, it must contain enough dyna-
mic power to move these masses to
struggle and to action against the en-
emies of the working class. Third,
it must offer a means for rank and
file organization into direct organs Of
struggle. And fourth, it must enable
the Workers Party to become part of
these struggles and to win leadership
over them.
Measured by these four require
ments, we say, the farmerlabor slo-
gan, which means call for the Gre
alton of a new party to stand in be-
tween the Workers Communist Par
ty and the LaFollette third party
movement-this slogan is dead one
1t will not appeal at present to a
single rank and file worker or poor
farmer outside the farmer-laborites in
our own party. This slogan does not
possess sufficient dynamic power to
move ten workers one inch. You will
hardly get gathering of 100 workers.
in any large center in the country to
listen to a speech on the necessity Of
forming farmer-Iabor party distinct
from the LaFoIIette slogan.
Study the thesis of the c. e. g.
majority, and you will find the rea-
son-mind you, not the facts, these
you will observe in your own sur
roundings. Try to talk to your neigh
bors, in the shops and in the unions.
about forming a farmer-labor party,
distinct from the LaFollette move

workers about, preparing to- resist
