not the slight decrease of dis

the distance from the sun of the

For Army Propaganda.

TUT RttVy EtOR08ottNNe
Editor, "The Daily Worker"
Dear Comrade:
In the August 18th issue of the
DAILY WORKER l read the appeal Of
our British comrades to the armed
forces of that country. That appeal,
in my estimation, is in line with
Communist tactics for winning over
the uniformed proletariat to the
class-struggle as against Imperialism.
After reciting pertinent facts and prin-
ciples of the class-struggle, the appeal
points to, and urges definite action
upon the part of the men tho
personally believe that even that ap-
peal falls short of concrete and more
elaborate program of immediate tasks
along organizational lines, rank and
file slogans, demands, suggestions for
carrying out these tasks, etc.
With Mobilization Day" Sept. 18th
coming, militarism running amuck,
new wars in the making, and the class
struggle becoming ever sharper and
intense, our party should be first to
formulate and offer something definite
and tangible affecting the men in uni
form We ought to awaken and in
spire the men, and hold aloft the torch
that shall blaze the path of action.
Mass-meetings can be held in sea-
port cities like Boston, New York,
ETC., at places where Sailors and ma
rines hang around. For instance, I
witnessed an anti-war meeting con-
Quoted by our party on Boston Com
mon. There were more than three
thousand in the crowd of which es-
innate, over four hundred were uni
formed men-sailors, marines, air
men, soldiers and some petty officers.
At a meeting like this, one speaker
should dwell only on subject matter as
I refer to above-a special message in
plain, definite language with a clear
outline of action for the uniformed
men, The uniformed men will think,
and think hard after hearing such
talk-such thots in their minds will
some day lead to specific action.
l would like to see the party start
something along this line in the
DAILY WORKER.

HIS MACDONALD treason.

To the DAILY WORKER feel l
must say something about the attack
by the British government upon the
Communist Party of Great Britain,
the raiding of it's headquarters and
the arrest of one of it's officials for ad-
vising soldiers not to shoot strikers.
If my memory serves me, it was in
the year 1911 or 1912 that the l. L. p,
along with other British organizations
of labor, made stand on this ques-
ton, and the Labor Leader, the Off
cial organ of the l. L. p, together
with the rest of the labor and social
list press, published appeals to soldiers
not to shoot strikers.
The hubbub arose when young
member Of the Amalgamated Society
of Railway Servants, Fred Crowsley
was arrested at Aldershot for distrib-
uting copies of an article which he
had had reprinted from the Syndical-
list, a paper published by Tom Mann
and Guy Bowman. Subsequently
these comrades were also arrested,
and also the brothers Buck, printers
of the paper All served terms Of i'm
prisonment, but the advanced think
ers unanimously defied the govern
ment, and every paper and every
speaker made appeals of this kind.
l do not remember particularly any
utterance by Ramsay Macdonald on
the subject, but l remember being at
Aldershot to report Crowsley's case
for the Syndicalist, and meeting Jo-
siah Wedgwood, then Liberal mem
Der Of parliament, and now promi-
nent labor man, who provided bail
for Crowsley, and we all three re-
turned to London. Our policy at that
time was to have so many people ut
ter this particular "sedftion" as to
make it impossible for the govern
ment to send us all to prison and
suppress all the papers. And we pur-
sued this policy with the most COM
plete success. In the midst of this
situation, the Daily Herald first ap-
peared under my editorial direction.
The paper supported the agitation up
to the hilt.
1 await with great interest the
mails which will bring me, l hope,
some copies of the Herald for this
week, to know how the Labor Party
will justify its change of attitude. /
prOphesy, with the greatest conf
dence, that this action will lose for
it an enormous amount of support.
We knew it was leading the workers
political movement to destruction,
but 1, for one, scarcely expected that
It would do it in so spectacular a
way. The present administration has
done other things in India and else
where which are more important in
reality, but which l can well imagine
my former comrades, Macdonald,
Snowden and others CLOSING over
with a cloud Of words, and getting
away with it, so far as the less adj
vanced workers are concerned; but
knowing England as l do, l could
imagine no shrewder blow at the con-
fidence of the workers in the Labor
Party than that party has thus dealt
itself.-Andrew Shelly, Chicago, Ill.

To the DAILY WORKER:-A war
is being waged by the ministers in

dancing is immoral on Sunday, why is
it alright on every other day? y
l would like to place into the hands
Of each of these ministers copy of
the DAILY WORKER where they will
find something of vital interest to
humanity to put up fight for. It's
high time these arch hypocrites be-
gan to have something to say about
the workers struggles, about poor
wages, about the miserable homes the
workers live in and about the energy
sapping long hours they must slave.
