DAWES YET AGGRESSIVE

Not to deprive a minority OF OPP
portunity to be heard but Of a
chance to dicker and barter away
the issue at stake. That is what
vice. President Dawes says he is en-
deavoring to bring about. says it
with emphasis and effect, says 1t In
the open, inviting his opponents into
the open. Whatever we may think
Of his cause we cannot avoid the
conclusion that he is conducting his
crusade for change in the Senate
rules vigorously and in man-fashion.
Speaking in the State Of Senator
Moses, who poohs -poohs changes in
the Senate rules, the General declar-
ed that instead of this unlimited de-
bate contributing to publicity it in
directly contributes to secrecy in
that the .endeavor to shut it off en-
tails the making of secret bargains
about which the public knows moth
ing and would be indignant II it did.
II Whatever we may think of the
question, can we deny the truth of
this: I'm the attempt to change the
Senate rules we combat one of the
deepest instincts Of selfish human
nature-a desire to retain personal
power and prerogatives" That is
throwing the gage Of battle at the
feet of his adversaries. Will they
pick it up and defend it in the same
open fashion?
In his speech Tuesday evening the
General became specific; he told of
Sc .'hold-u ups" of legislation in the
Senate, of many. many days dawdled
away in useless debate while the
public waited for suitable legisla-
ton: he told Of the extra sessions
that have been caused by f1libuster-
ing; of the haste which follows up
Ps6n the heels of dawdling. haste I'M
del cover of which bad legislation
slides through the mill.
IN the evil exists, why should
there not be an honest effort made
to correct 1t in the interest of our
common government?" he asks and
should receive a comprehensive an
swer. That much, public sentiment
should insist upon. 1t is entirely
possible that public sentiment, If it
would be both insistent and persist
emit, might make little impression
on the United States Senate-just q
little. The public has witnessed
these doings from afar. and while
unable to comprehend it all is pretty
well convinced that something is
wrong; that 1t should be impossible
for the vice-President Of. these
United States to declare in public
that the present regulations in the
Senate make 1t possible for an in
diyidual Senator to render the Sem
ate impotent.
There seems to be room for con-
scientious doubt whether the change
advocated by General Dawes would
be as productive Of beneficial results
a. he seems to be convinced 1t would.
Few reforms are, for that matter.
However. 1t II up to the DIRECTORS to
tell W why. And General Dawes is
not the only one whose arguments
they should answer. There is SEN

0rat who has had long and valuable

side more than together The political
editor writes the highly political art
icles, the trade union editor has his
special department, and the editorial
staff responsible for the local depart
ment is a child entirely disinherited
by destiny.
This state Of affairs often enough
results in somewhat grotesque combi-
nations, as the readers of our press
may observe. 1t is not alone that the
political editor, soaring solely in the
highest spheres of politics. almost en-
tirely loses contact with local events,
but the local and trade union editors,
forced to occupy themselves exclusive
ly with the trivial details of daily hap
penings, lose sight of the political line
Of the party. Instead of political col
liberation among the different mem
bers Of the editorial staff, we find an
obstinate struggle for the columns"
Energetic war must be declared
against the mechanical allotment of
departments on our editorial STATS.
Every staff can be developed into a
united collective organization if the
political leaders of the newspaper
adopt the principle of treating all
questions, local and trade union alike,
as political questions, and of invaria-
bly, placing in the foreground of the
paper those questions which form the
foreground of the interests of the
mass of workers upon which the paper
is intended to exercise its immediate
influence.
In the majority of cases the actual
observance of this principle can only
be made possible with the aid of
systematic organizatory and political
control exercised upon the editorial
STATS by the political leaders. Preci-
sely these questions must form the
basis enabling editorial stats to grasp
the principle that every party news
paper is an organ of the party.
A SECOND and perhaps even more
a important method of destroying
the bureaucratic departmental princi-
pie, and one exceedingly valuable for
creating really Communist editors, is
the participation of the editors in the
immediate work of the Party. In this
question the political leaders must

~. The Organization Of Our Press
THIS Is a question to which little or
Il no attention has hitherto been paid.
As a general rule, the forms of organ
iEation followed by the Communist
press have been permitted to develop
without any special supervision, with
out study and observation. without
any attempt at organization adapted
to the object In view. The Russian
section Is the sole section in the Com
munist International which possesses
an organ working systematically and
continually for the organization and
supervision of the press. And yet the
questions raised by the relations be-
tween party press and party organiza-
ton, and by the internal relations of
party press organization, are such as
play a leading part in affecting the
extent of the influence exercised by
the press on the broad masses of the
working class.
The internal organization of the edi-
torial STATS of almost all Communist
newspapers, especially in the case Of
provincial newspapers, suffers from
the unhappy effects of the principle of
a mechanical division into depart
ments, principle taken over from the
social-democrats The editorial stats
Of our party newspapers have general
ly been an accurate reflection of the
party executives, which have suffered
equally from this social-democratic
disease. In one organizatory report
Of section of the Communist Inter-
national we read:
1.-THE same conditions are to be
found In the district and local or
ganlzations. Here the local secret
airy or trade union secretary is sole
ly responsible for the factory work,
or no departmental nucleus what
ever has been formed. Politics and
organizations are kept separate.
Organization itself comprises purely
administrative work only. 49,"

Court Is Burlesqued
in Play at Picnic

The Workers Drama League Of
New York is now rehearsing a rollick-
ing farce entitled Tried for Treason, /"
which is a take-off on the trial of the
comrades arrested and tried for drill
ing with theatrical rifles for the Paris
Commune pageant held at Madison
Square Garden. The play will be
given at the grand picnic of Local
New York which is to be held once
more at Pleasant Bay Park as last
year. The date is Sunday, June 81.
In addition to the play there will be
a great athletic carnival and other
features.
The play has been written in col
liberation by Walter Speck and Louis
Egri. Louis Egri is a playwright,
whose play "Hecuba and Hocuba" will
be produced next season on Broadway.
The play "Tried for Treason" is an
account of what happened in the court
when the comrades came up before
the judge, plus satire and very clever
farce. 1t is bound to get plenty of
laughs. Anna Rosenberg is directing
the play. The settings will be by 10
Hartman. There are still a few roles
to be filled, and those interested are
invited to come to the next rehearsals
and meeting of the Drama League,
Friday evening, June at the Jewish
headquarters, Workers Party, 35 Sec
ond Avenue, near Second street.
The cast is made up as follows:
Judge-Jack Kweller; first witness
Israel Hurwitz; second witness
Goldie Waldner; third witness-Clar-
ence Miller; first Attorney. M.
Schramm; second attorney-Cohen;
police officer Aubruy C. Bailey;
grapher-Isabelle Waldner.
At the meeting of the Workers
Drama League this coming Friday
work will be started on the tremen-
dous pageant which will be produced
in August at the picnic to be run by
the International Workers Aid. The
pageant, written by John Lassen and
Simon Felshin requires a cast of about
seventy-fve.

| ganization (the formation Of factory
cells may have changed this some
what during the past few months)
The best proof that despite our fac
tory nuclei there is still no adequate
organiEatory connection between the
party press and the factory is the fact
that the work of increasing the mum.
Der of subscribers to our newspapers
is still carried out for the most part
by the residential organizations. In
an electoral report issued by the Ger
man G. P. work for increasing the
number Of subscribers to the Kampfer
Gan organ which may be counted in
every respect among the best organs
Of the internationally we read:
Agitation had to be transferred to
the residential districts, for the pre-
vious agitation made for the Kampfer,
carried on for the most part in the
factories, yielded very poor results"
THE sale of Communist papers in
the works and factories themselves
has become an indispensable neces-
sity of the present period Of factory
cell development. In countries where
capitalist terror does not yet rage to
the same extent as in Germany, for
instance, Czecho-Slovakia and France,
a certain amount of effort will render
this possible. But even in Germany
ways and means must be found for
distributing the Communist newspa-
per to at least a part of the workers
in a factory, or shortly before work is
started. CA general reduction of prices
for Communist newspapers subscribed
to or distributed in factories would he
suitable means to this end.)
The question of organizing the
campaigns to gain subscribers belongs
to this same chapter. Even the most
superficial consideration of the me-
thods and results of work up to now
In this direction show the necessity of
increasing mass efforts. Hitherto all
endeavors to gain large numbers of
new readers have all been too much
on one pattern, too little differentia-
ted.
TWO examples: a campaign of agi-
= tation for the Kampfer in Chemnitz

torial STATS must be so organized that

when the Russian labor movement
was suffering the severest persecution.
THE communist editors must be I'M
reservedly prepared to take part in
party work at any time, outside Of
their jornalistic activity" is
what the Communist organizations
must say to those comrades to whom
they have entrusted their editorial
work. The principle of the inkslinger
writes and the reader reads" Nenin)
may safely be left to the inkslingers
of the bourgeois and social democratic
press
1t frequently happens that the Com
munist organizations do not compre-
bend that the principle recognizing
the Communist press as an organ of
the party extends much further than
the mere possibility OF imparting a
certain political trend to a newspaper.
THE leaders of the organizations
\ must accustom themselves to en-
ploy their organ as an efficient instru-
ment for the whole of their organiza-
ton policy. Not only must they re-
quire and demand that certain ques-
tions of organization are placed in the
foreground at certain times, but they
have right to add a decisive word
when decisions are being made. The
business management, whose motives
are generally influenced by the bust
ness standpoint, must only be given as
much play as the organizatory tactics
of the party permit; the reverse
should never be the case. The atmo-
sphere of bourgeois business legality
is the enemy of the real interests of
the Communist press.
A special chapter Of the organiza-
ton work Of our press is formed by
the question of its direct connection
with the factory or works. In the
majority of cases the Communist
newspaper reaches the factory by the
roundabout path of the residential or
