Dor party has this basic Importance
for the Communist movement in the
United States that it was necessary
for those who understood this to re-

the c. E. c. majority that they did
not see and would not consider these
fundamental reasons for our party
policy. In the party discussion the
presentation of the basic argument for

statements of self-evident facts. but
those who thus scoffed were incapable
of drawing the logical deduction from
the self-evident facts.
In remobilizing its forces for the
labor party campaign the party must
educate its whole membership to a
real understanding of the labor party
policy so that in the future no group
in the party will be swept, away by
temporary and superficial phenomena.

FOLLOWING the lines of the de

tional the thesis on the Present
Situation and the General Tasks OF
the Party" submitted to the party con
vention by the Parity Commission
emphasizes the campaign for a labor
party as one of the main tasks of our
party. In view Of. the fact that for
period of eight months our party
was on record as opposed to conduct
ing such a campaign, and for period
of two November and De-
cember of last year-the c. e. c. of
the party waged campaign to con-
vince the membership that the labor
party campaign was a wrong policy,
1t is essential that there be a re-
statement of the fundamental basis
of the labor party policy. 1t is essen
tial that we undo the harm that was
done in convincing part of our mem
bership that the labor party policy
was wrong, and that we again mobilize
our full party for an energetic cam
paign in support of the formation of
labor party.
Development Of the American Workers
THE outstanding fact that we must
= deal with in formulating our Com
munist policy in this country is that
the American workers have not yet
become sufficiently conscious of them
selves as a class to create a political
party of their own. and to enter into
a class struggle for political power
against their class enemy The work
ers of this country are still support
ing the republican and democratic
parties, that is, the parties of their
class enemy. In practically every
European country; on the contrary.
the workers have, some decades ago,
developed political parties of their
own thru which they carry on a DO
htical struggle against their ex-
ploiters. The social-democratic par
ties of the continental countries. the
labor party of England, represent
stages Of development of the workers
in these countries for conscious class
struggle which the American workers
have not yet reached. While these
parties were not, and are not, revolu-
tionary class parties, the creation of
these parties represented a definite
stride forward on the part of the
working class of these countries. The
immediate problem for our party is to
give the American workers that push
forward which will send them into the
political arena as the opponents of the
parties representing the class rule of
the capitalists.
American capitalism stands un-
shaken; it is more powerful than ever
in its history. 1t is reaching out over
the entire world in its imperialist
development and Harvesting millions
of workers outside of the United
States to its chariot.
1t has succeeded in making the
leadership of the trade unions its
strongest defender, thru the brides
which IL gives to the unpper strata
Of. the working class. We cannot
think, even, of the overturn OF this
capitalist order when the
working class has not yet developed
sufficiently to strike the first weak
blows at the most powerful support

Plan Purchase of
"Mill Pond" for Use
Gardiner Playground

President w. r. Frost Of the local
Board of Trade, has commenced
negotiations with the proper parties
in regard to the purchasing OF the
so-called 9Mill Pond" which lies be-
tween the Commonwealth Shoe and
Leather Co. property and the Cob
bosseecontee stream. The plan pro-
posed Is to have a modern up-to-
date playground such as has been
agitated a great deal recently. Such
a plan would have the appropriation
of the various prominent people OF
our city who have keen interest In
the welfare of our children. A fea-
ture of the place, when properly
filled in would be a baseball diamond
and this would warrant the support
of a Twilight League or a team in
the Trolley League. The fact that
Quimby field IL such distance from
the city has always been a barrier
to the maiutenance of baseball In
Gardiner.
Not only from a practical view
point is this plan feasible, but when
it Is considered what a Boost Gar
diner" value it would have, 1t Is still
more appealing. Properly carried
out this project would make 1t a
real beauty spot such as would at
tract people to Gardiner for sports,
as we'll as for practical business. The
fact that Gardiner is unusually IA
vored in having such a central loca-
ton for the proposed playground
will mean that the children from
the various schools about the city
will have easy access to the plot,
and it being within such short
distance of trolley, train and State
highway, it will advertise Gardiner
in a splendid manner.

German Comment
On Presidents Speech
At'LegiOn Convention

Berlin, Oct. 1-(AP)-The German
newspapers comment in rather
bitter spirit on President Cooldige's
address before the American Legion
convention in Omaha. All the morn
ing editions contained lengthy ex-
tracts from the speech.
The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,
using the caption"A Queer Peace Ser
mon," says: 'In his high sounding
peace speech, Mr.. Coolidge might
have omitted the hackneyed phrases
about civilization having been saved,
and his insulting words against the
German people"
The Taeglische Rundschau says:
I'VE regret that Mr.. Coolidge still
sticks to the assertion that the issue
Of the world war was despotism YER
sus liberty. Isn't it time to stop be-
lifting Germany"
The Berliner Tageblatt comments:
1T is of the greatest significance
that Mr.. Coolidge could deliver this
decidedly pacifistic speech before the
American Legion, which Is animated
by a militaristic spirit"

noon session. although he was not in
his seat when the house formally
opened. He came in later and took
his seat but did not join in the dis
cussion preceding the declaration of

that his case might be brought be-
fore the house tomorrow.

Coach Frank "Cyke" MCKINLEY of
Gardiner High was the speaker at the
regular weekly meeting and luncheon
of the Gardiner Rotary Club held
Wednesday noon at the Johnson
House. The coach gave a general talk
on high school athletics. emphasizing
the fact that the spirit athletics

is fair play. and teams do not wish to
win unless they use fair and clean
methods in doing so. He also pointed
out that athletics did much to build up
the character of young students as 1t
taught them self-reliance. bravery and
instilled in them the spirit Of clean
fight
