the Soviet government is threat
against them-the workers and
peasants.
With the death of Lenin the Com
munist Party suffered its greatest
loss. In every difficult situation the
Party could always depend upon
Lenin. He could always foresee in
advance the difficulties that would
face the Soviet government and the
Party, and he was always able to
adapt the tactics of the Party and
the government to the given sit
uation.
Party Membership Increases.
Now, Lenin is no more. The Party
will have to carry on the difficult
tasks ahead without the aid of his
clear mind, and exceptional insight
of its great leader and teacher,
That the Party will succeed, in spite
of all difficulties, there can be nc
doubt. Lenin has left US strong
centralized and disciplined party
which is supported by the whole o.
toiling Russia.
Do the workers of Russia realize
these difficulties? The best answer
is given by the workers themselves
Whole factories of workers thruou
the country have sent in applica
tions for joining the Party. Reports
to date show that over 10000
workers have applied for member
shin in the PARTY. In Moscow alon
over $4,000 applications have beel
received. In Leningrad over 31,O0'
workers have applied for member
ship. And Moscow and Leningra
are no exceptions. From ever

Socialist Soviet Republic reports ar
coming in that the workers ar

flocking into the Party in thous-
ands. The Russian proletariat is
sending its best sons to fill, by their
collective work, the vacancy left by
Lenin.
It should be remembered that
these applications for membership
into the Party, come exclusively
from workers from the bench.
In conformity with the decision OF
the Party conference, held in jan
uary, only this class Of workers are
at present accepted into the Party.
In order to strengthen the prole-
tartan kernel of the party, the con-
ference resolved to draw into the
Party 100000 workers from the
bench within the next year, for the
same period closing the doors for
all others.
100, 900 Members In Six Weeks.
Only six weeks have passed since
J that conference, and not only must
we not wait a whole year in order to
add 100000 workers to the Party
we are already far ahead Of that
goal.
One illustration will be sufficient
to give the reader an idea of the
Apresent frame of mind of the Rus
sian workers:
At a meeting Of one of the fac
tories in Moscow, at which apphca
lions from the workers of that fac
tory were discussed, one of the ap
plicants, an old man of about SO

Conclusion.

One of the main weaknesses OF
the Party's campaigns to date has
been the fact that we have not
thrown out sufficient slogans to ap-
peal to all workers, regardless Of
their differences Of opinions, to
struggle against the employing
class.
The great interest aroused in gov
ernmental affairs by the Teapot
Dome investigation and the special
opportunity afforded us thru the
Wheeler investigation to intensity
this great interest amongst the la
boring masses by giving our appeal
strong labor color enables US to
throw fundamental slogans of the
following nature which trend 10
unite the workers as class against
the capitalists as a class and hence
against the government as their
agency:
(a) Down with the use Of govern.
ment force in strikes and labor dis
putes.
(b) Down with government by in
junction.
(c) Down with the employers
private armies Of detectives and
gunner.
(d) Down with all interference
with the right to strike and or
ganize.
(e) Out with Daugherty and
Burns. Punish them by imprison-
ment for their high handed viola
tions Of the aforementioned ele-
monetary rights Of the workers as
prescribed even by present laws.
(f) Let US organize and get to-
gether politically to make impos-
sible the rule of other Dughertys
and Burnses. This is the Farmer
Labor political slogan in effect.
