The Commune Celebrations

ed up before the wall of Paris is
small compared to the list of work
ingclass victims written in blood by
capitalism since 1917
The end is not yet. There is no
l unemployment among the jailers
and executioners.
On March 10 in Madison Square
Garden, New York, in Ashland Audi
forum, Chicago, March 20, will be
held two gigantic commune celebra-
tions. A party member who absents
himself betrays those Of his class who
have been jailed in the world revolu-
tionary conflict.
On page of today's issue we pub
fish Thesis for Agitators on the
day Of the Paris Commune and Inter
national Red Aid"
Every member of the Workers
(Communist) Party, especially those
comrades who are in charge of these
demonstrations and those who will
have the privilege of speaking to the
masses that will assemble there,
should study the thesis with the ut
most care.
THE days are past for academic
l discussion and oratorical glorifi-
cation of the revolutionary heroes of
yesterday. We learn from their lives,
their struggles and their deaths, but
as Communists, we live in the pres
ent and face future which is ours.
1t is the struggle of today that must
be the major theme at the commune
meetings. Nothing is of more import
ance to the world revolution than the
army of working class victims Of the
world wide white terror and the strug-
gle in which they died or were sent
to a living death.
The commune left for its glorious

haven't got their country. They don't
own factories and they never expect
to.
1T is rumored that the prince OF
l Wales will get married after his re.
turn from his trip to South Africa
and South America. The British rul.
ing class are very anxious over the
princes objections to the matrimonial
knot, tho they know he is no woman
hater The fact is, If reports are rea-
sonably correct, that he likes them
not wisely but too well. King George
is seriously i'll and king without a
queen would raise the dickens with
royal society. One Of the nuts the
prince must have to crack is getting
wife whose religion will harmonize
with the creed Of the house OF Wet
tin. Most of the available unhitched
princesses are catholics.
n MOTHER rumor turned loose in
N England is.that Ramsay MacDon-
aid will return his endowed automo-
bile to the tory millionaire biscuit
manufacturer, Sir Alexander Grant.
The auto was accompanied by an en-
dowment fund of S150,000, enough to
keep it in gasoline. The sight of the
auto is not pleasing to the eyes of
the British working class, ana as Mac
Donald is not willing to lose his lead
ership, he may let the auto go. Sir
Alexander might let him hold on to
the $150,000 worth of stock until his
turn to board in Downing street might
come around again. If Macdonald re-
linquishes his hold on the biscuit
shares he is the first social democrat
that ever did such a thing.
THE fascist press in Italy is joyous
i over the deep friendship existing
between Mussolini and the American
ambassador at Rome. Mussolini is I'll,
very ILL., Ambassador Fletcher is con-
stantly inquiring about him. So
pleased was Benito over this, that he
called for the largest picture of him
self that could be found, signed 1t
and sent it to Fletcher. Last year
when Wall Street financiers began to
hammer the lire, Fletcher wired to
the state department to call off the
wolves. This was done. 1t should not
be forgotten that Fletcher's predeces-
sor Child. was one of those who gave
Mussolini support in his march on
Rome.

For those workers who gave their
lives in the fight we can do nothing,
but honor their memory and pledge
ourselves to see. that they did not
die in vain.
But for the living victims we can
and will do something. We will let
millions of workers know Of the OBJ.
scene fortunes they undergo because
they are revolutionists and place the
interests of the workers and peasants
first.
NKIE will demand freedom for them
WV and organize to enforce our de-
mands.
We will teach, the lessons Of the
commune by the living examples Of
today. We will number and name
the nations whose jails are filed, we
will show the working class what cap
italism has in store for those who
will not be slaves and we will or
ganize our class for disciplined action
in war that it cannot evade ex-
cept by allowing shackles to be weld
ed on its limbs.
THE day of the commune is the
day of International Red Relief.
1t is the day on which the workers
mobilize to free the working class
victims of the white terror
On the anniversary of the day when
the Communards challenged the CAPT.
tilst rulers we renew the challenge
and drive against capitalism for free
dom for the imprisoned heroes Of
the working class.
Down with capitalist terror!
Freedom for all workers and peas.
ants jailed in the revolutionary strug-
gle!
Support the International Red Re
lief!
Long live the Commune!

monument the graves Of thousands of
workers who died rather than surren-
der to their oppressorss 1t was the
first breach made IN the walls of
capitalism by conscious, working
class. We remember these heroic
victims with love and gratitude.
DUT we must not forget that the
Dbattle line has been heightened
since the commune. Regiments, bri-
gades, whole armies of the workers
are on the front where only the hand
full of Communards once stood. Like
the Communards, the workers Of Ger
many, France, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria,
Esthonia, Finland, Lithuania, Spain,
Egypt, India, China, Indo-C China, Java,
Philippines, all the countries Of the
far east, Mexico, Haiti, Chile, even
Of democratic" England and Ameri-
ca, have had their blood baths-have
seen their comrades with whom they
fought shoulder to shoulder handed
over the brutal turkeys of the rul-
ing class.
On the anniversary of the commune
we do not look back with puzzled
wonder that such atrocities could
have happened. We live in a world
that has lost all characteristics Of
the comparatively peaceful period
when capitalism was in its prime.
Our world is bloody world, our rul-
ers' hands are stained deeper GRIM
son than in 1S4S. 1t is the same class
that rules except in Soviet Russia.
T rules again by blood and iron.
The same class crushed the 1905
revolution. The same class tried to
drown in gore the revolution of 1917.
1t faces now a world wide revolt and
its methods are the same in all coun-
tries-murder, torture, tombs for the
living, shallow graves for the dead.

The quashing of the contempt charges and the
dropping of the injunction secured by the Hutche-
son machine of the Carpenters Union against Com
rade Reynolds of Detroit as a result of his militant
activities in the union is example of what organ
ization of the workers forces and mass pressure
on the courts can accomplish.
Comrade Reynolds and the rank and file that sup
ported him never backed up one inch. The moment
the injunction barring him from attending union
meetings was issued it was violated When called
into capitalist court to the charges Of con-
tempt of its orders the militants turned the trial
into exposure Of Hutchinson and his payroll gang
Of takers.
The rank and file of the union attended the hear
ngs en- masse and never for minute was their
attitude in doubt.
The defeat of the union reactionaries will
strengthen immensely the Workers Party and the
Trade Union Educational League in the Detroit
labor movement and nationally. The militant car
penters are not resting on their laurels however
They are pushing agitation and organization and
using the interest that has been aroused by the
case TO build bigger and more conscious left wing.

Among other things, the wide repre-.
sentation from all over the state
makes it certain that not only the
school will be great success but
that the work of the party will be ma;
terially aided in that the comrades
from all over the district will give the
district Office first hand information
of the work going on in their locali-
ties and will in turn carry out plans
laid down by the district as a unit
when they go home from the intensive
training course.
There is also, no doubt, that after
the intensive course is finished that
all the comrades attending will in
turn aid in the establishment of edu-
cational work in the localities from
which they came, and thus make the
educational program as we'll as the
other work increasingly effective.
We are now able to publish the out
line of the course on Leninism, which
will be given in eight lectures.
This course will be a sort of con-

LOOKS TOO WNRLIKE
 AT THIS TIME

Tho Grand Duke Nicholas, for mor commander in chief Of the Rus sian armies during the World War, and q second cousin 10 the late Czar Nicholas II. declares himself fin readiness 10 lead a movement of the nations against the Russian Soviet government. He says the commun- lsts are a menace to the peace of the entire world, and calls upon all other nations to unite in q military campaign against them. The state mant was made in an article under the "by-line" Of the grand duke ap- bearing in the New York World,
 Although agreeing that the soviet is controlled by mean rascals, we cannot understand how the peac" of Europe is to he furthcred by mill tary campaign of all other nations against Russia. Europe needs peace, not war.
 Besides, tho grand duke, evidon'- ly not being much Of business man, doesn't make mention as to where the money for this gigantic peace effort is coming from. He evil denty thinks the good people in che |. s. A. still have plenty Of il 10 loan.
 There is reason 10 think, how ever. that money-Icnding will ha'h at turning a part o, Europe into a shambles merely to manufacture the grand duke into another czar. Conditions as ,aey are, even in the soviet. are worthy of optimism else where, The soviet has abandoned about halt Its communisIc prac- tees and in another ten years vii. na>e abandoned more of them.
