Industrial unrest in England is today more
intense and widespread than at any time since
1921 Macdonald is worried. In an interview
with the New York World correspondent the
labor premier declared: "Some recent develop
ments and methods, however, seem in practice and
result to be those of mischevous Communist syn
dicalism. All my life / have been opposed to
the sympathetic strike. 1t has no practical value
it is simply beating the air."
Macdonald has good reason to be worried He
knows that the working masses of England will
not accept this hackneyed unfounded explanation
of the present temper and mood of the labor or
CARNATIONS. Macdonald likewise knows that if
he is to utilize his present cabinet position frank
ly and fearlessly in behalf of the working class,
he will incur the bitter hostility and organized
opposition of the reactionary capitalists. The
waging of such a contest logically and inevitably
leads to decisive struggle. 1t is precisely such
fights which the Macdonald socialists and labor
leaders the world over seek to avoid at any price
Hence the blaming of the Communists by Mac
Donald for conditions naturally arising from the
present economic and political conditions in
England.
Yes. Macdonald is face TO face with difficult
task Today, at the helm of the government he
cannot easily hide his role in the class conflict
The very facts of fe the very realities of the class
struggle are driving Macdonald and his like ever
more into the open-on the side of the working
class or on the side of the employing class.

Our party is now in the mic-. Of
the greatest campaign since the time
it was organized, and yet most of the
membership are not yet conscious of
the importance of the work the party
is doing.
This is dangerous situation. Our
whole Party strength must be mobi-
lized and every ounce Of Party energy
must be brought into action if we are
to succeed in the work, which we
have under way.
What is the situation?
In the United States, the Industrial
worker and farmer have been the
least class conscious of the workers
anywhere in the world. In this coun-
try the illusion of bourgeoisie democ-
racy was and is strongest. The work
ers and farmers have been taught to
believe and have believed that the
government is a government "of the
people, for the people, and by the
people. They have been taught to
believe that the two old parties rep
resent not the class interest of spe-
cial economic groups. but the inter-
ests Of the people as a whole. AS a
consequence we have had and still
have the great mass of workers and
farmers voting in support of parties
which represent the class interests
of those who exploit them and rob
them.
AS consequence OF this situation,
class action and class consciousness
on the part of industrial workers and
farmers have been limited to a small
minority which called itself Socialist,
Communist or by the name Of some
similar group.
Those class conscious workers in
the United States who belonged to
these small groups have despaired of
the masses Of workers and farmers
ever becoming class conscious. It has
seemed an impossible task to break
the working masses away from their
support of the old political parties
and the capitalist system which they
supported.
Since the end of the war, however,
new conditions have arisen. The eco
nomic struggle between classes in the
United States has been greatly inten-
sified. There is a dawning conscious
ness on the part of many thousands
Of workers and farmers that the gov

Could we ask for greater stride for

The realization of this new situa-
ton is within our grasp. If we can
mobolize the strength of our Party
organization, if we can pull every
member we have. into the struggle
there can be crystallized at the June
18th convention, and in the campaign
to follow, a mass-cIass, Farmer-Labor
Party of million organized indus
trial workers and farmers.
Our Party must awaken to this OF
portunity at once. Every Party un
should take up the question of aidil
in this campaign. Every Party men.
Der should look about him for oppor-
tunities to support this struggle.
The work of securing delegates to
the June 18th convention is under
way. Each Party member who is a
member of another workers organiza-
ton should see to it that the question
is raised in his organization and a
delegate sent to the convention. The
work Of organizing local and state
Farmer-Labor parties thruout the
United States is being initiated by
the left wing of the labor movement
with our support and cooperation.
Each such movement, whether it be
local or on a state scale, must have

eminent as it now exists is an instru
ment Of the exploiters. AS a conse
quence, there has appeared the grow
ing movement for independent politi
cal action by the Industrial workers
and the exploited farmers.
In the United States, the year of
the presidential election is q year OF
keen political interests. Greater mum
bers Of workers and farmers are
drawn into the political life OF the
country in the year of the presiden-
tial election more than at any other
time. 1t is in presidential year
that there exists the possibility OF
crystallizing the movement for Far
mer-Labor Party on national scale
What This Year Offers.
The situation which exists in the
United States today is that there is
the possibility of uniting at least a
million organized industrial workers
and farmers in class Farmer-Labol
Party, which will enter the political
arena to fight against the two old cap
italist parties.
Such a development would be the
most striking movement towards
class consciousness in the entire his,
tory Of the American Labor Move
ment. The capitalization of mass
party Of million workers fighting
against the capitalist parties would
be almost revolutionary change in
the political life of the United States
Short Of the period of the proletar
ian revolution itself, there could not
be a greater opportunity than this for
Communist Party.
1t is our work, our task, to draw
the masses Of workers and exploited
farmers into the political struggle as
class to fight a class battle against
their exploiters. BY acting as the
leading, driving, organizing, force in
the movement for the capitalization
OF the class Farmer-Labor Party our
party has an unparalleled opportunity
to extend its influence and establish
its permanent leadership in this move
ment
Such an opportunity as now exists
in the United States should inspire
every member in our Party to his
greatest effort. 1t should arouse an
enthusiasm that should double and
treble the activities of our whole
party organization.
Think of it! The United States
no longer, the backward, tagging
country in the revolutionary move.

1t was to meet these expenditures
to make it possible for the Party to
mobilize all of it's strength in the cam
paign that the $4,000 was asked for
by the Central Executive Committee
of the Party.
The responses received from our
Party organizations thus FAR lead to
the conclusion that the Party has not
yet opened its eyes to the work and
the opportunity which exists for us
today. If the Party would fully real
ize and mobilize in this campaign, ii
should be comparatively easy task
for the $4,000 Party members to raise
$4,000. Despite the fact that the
campaign has been under way for
more than a month, only about $4,000
has been raised thus far.
Comrades of the Workers Partyi
We must not miss this opportunity
to advance the revolutionary move
ment in this country. We must take
advantage to the fullest extent ofithe
favorable situation which we have be-
fore us. Our Party must fulfill every
phase of its duty in this situation.
The work which is under way, can,
not go on unless those branches and
Party members which have not as
sisted in financing the campaign come
to the aid of the Party at once. Dur
ing the next three or four weeks we
must raise the remainder of the S15..
900 fund. 1t is the duty of every
Party branch, of every Party mem.
Der, to bring this question up and to
devise ways and means of supporting
this campaign.
We have created a DAILY WORK
Err. We created it thru the sacrifices
and devotion of members of our
Party.
The DAILY WORKER, however, is
merely an instrument for us in the
work of creating a mass revolution
airy movement in this country. The
first great step towards that goal is
the mass class Farmer-Labor Party.
The same enthusiasm, the same deyo-
ton, the same willingness to make
sacrifices are necessary in this task.
Let us go to work, Comrades. Let
us create the $4,000 Farmer-Labor
Campaign Fund. Let us put our
whole organized strength into the
scale to create the mass, class Farm
er-Labor Party in the United States.
the first great step in the progress
of the revolutionary movement in this

Darker Phases of the South" BY
Frank Tannenbaum. Published by G..
P. Putnam's Sons, w. 45th Street,
New York City. Price $500. Postage

l expected to be disappointed in this
book because it was heralded as I'M
emotional, scientific, and remember
ed the youth, Frank Tannenbaum,
leading the unemployed in pre-war
days into the rich churches of New
York and demanding that the ex-
ponents Of Christianity feed them and
clothe them. There was plenty of
emotion in that act; but l admit, the
book finished. that this restrained
judicious student has made a strong
case. He has shown and interpreted
a picture that has in il much that is
new, and all that is unforgetable.
The book has five chapters, the two
that seemed to me freshest in concep-
ton, those on the factory workers,
entitled "The South Buries It's Anglo
Saxons," and the study of tenancy,
THE Single Crop" In telling of the
factory we do not hear of child labor
or long hours but we get to the root
of the system, the control of the
worker thru the company's owner
ship of his home.
The chapter on 1.-THE Single Crop"
shows the dangerous growth of ten
ancy, and stresses the most important
fact that the tenant is a migrant. 1T
is estimated that three hundred thous-
and farm tenants move every year in
the United States. In some instances
the tenant moves every months.
I'm the last fifty years while the
white farmer has been retrograding to
tenancy the Negro has, in large num-
bers, become a land owner. There
are more white than Negro tenants
In eleven Southern states"
There is a chapter ON the Ku Klux
and one on Southern prisons that is
too terrible to be believable. Mr.. Tan.
nenbaum ends by saying OF the Negro
problem in the South that II has no
solution. He advises us to give VI

MENTIONING THE MOVIES
re Films Bad For chIIdrena
BY PROTECTOR.

Are Films Bad For Children?
An extensive study conducted by
DR.. David Lund, head of the Swedish
Prison Board, convinces this peerless
authority on morality and conduct
that the movies are very bad for
young children. Why? Because,
they cannot distinguish fact from
fancy and are likely to mistake false
hood for truth"
Truly, the learned doctor expects
from babies what adults cannot give.
He should realize that under capital
ism the function of the movie as of
the press, is precisely the stufiing
of fancy and falsehood into the minds
of working class children, grown and
small.
The answer is that pro-capitalist
films are bad" for working class
children and working class organiza-
tons, and that they must be com
batted theoretically with labor's own
moving pictures.
The Importance of the motion pic
ture as propaganda weapon is woe
fully under-estimated even by our
most far-sighted labor leaders. In a
little city of Central Illinois a survey
among $50 school children showed
that $50 of them attended movies
from two to four times a week, while
at least 300 of them reported periodi-
cal attendance. All the books and
newspapers in the community cannot
compete with the movie as a means
Of moulding the young idea," nor the
old.

Spring In The

Thru the windows of the shop
The sunbeams pour,
And black shadows make
Patterns on the floor;
Broad ribbons of light
Slant thru the gloom
Cleaning and bright
In the smoke-shot room,
Leaning to the wall
spIotehed with Crime,
Calling, calling,
Here's sprIngtime!"
Or the bare ground
Lie heaps Of brown sand;
All around, everywhere,
Sooty men tramp,
Shovel and lamp
In the dust-dense air,
AS If their happiness
And their lives hung on
One casting more or less
And how soon It was dome -.
And on no such thing
As playing In the sun.
And ! guess that's trueI
For, as I stand still
Wondering what to do,
Looking away
To where the sun is singing ~
Of the bright spring day,
The foreman calls, "5uf,
We're waiting on you
II you want to hold your job,
Get move on, too"
But there Is the sun
Playing on the floor,
And there are the windows
Where the sunbeams pour
Ribbons Of light,
SIantlng to the wall;
And oh, how they call, call,
Come on, man, come! f.

Don't you see it's here7
