Continue Discussion Of Decentralization
MOSCOW, March 2s-(By Mail)-
At today's session the debate on Boil
shevization is continued. Comrade
Tondl (Czecho-Slovakia) declares that
with constant friction, victory is i'm.
possible. The workers will not per-
init the movement to suffer under
personal questions. The workers
want unity.
Comrade Pepper (America): "The
nature Of the problem at present con
fronting us has not yet penetrated our
consciousness. The first period of
the Comintern's activities may be
called the Mid-European period. The
second period is characterized by the
extension Of the Comintern's sphere
of influence to the Far East. Since
the Fifth World Congress, it has be-
come clear that the present period is
characterized by the acquisition of
new territories in the Far West. The
main political problem in the Far West
is the labor party question-just as the
question of the social-democracy dom
mates central Europe.
Since the Fifth Congress, the tactic
of the Comintern has produced new
results in England. In the first place
"a minority movement which has be-
come mass movement; in the second
place, the capitalization of a left
wing in the labor party. In this res
pect we have noticed a certain oppo-
sition on the part of some of the Brit
ish comrades. gC~
Now it is clear that the tactics of
the Comintern were correct. Already
the left wing is pursuing an indie
pendent policy against the right. All
this proves the necessity of develop
ing the British party to a mass party.
Our next task therefore is. to find the
specific English method of developing
a mass party. This can be accomp-
lished Of course only thru the collec-
tive work Of the British party. Gala
CHER did not at all attempt to bring
up the real problems; he spoke on
generalities but notion the main prob
lem of how to form mass party I'M

land. The Communist Party of Great
Britain has done good work in the

"The Mire of Party Strife"

Speaking of the candidacy of General linden
burg, Fritz Ebert, son of the late German presi
dent, remarks:
1--WE republicans, especially the republican war
veterans, most indignant that the person of the
aged field marshal, who was equally venerable to
all Germans is thus dragged into the mire of party
strife"
Fritz must be congratulated ON his chioce Of
words if on nothing else. If any one should know
what "the mire of party strife in Germany means
it ought to be the of a socialist president whose
administration sold itself to the big industrialists
to the allied imperiasts, to everyone who was will
ing to pay certain price, even to Barmat, the
banker
Yes, "the mire of party strife" so far as the Ger
man social-democracy is concerned, is black, deep
and filthy, sinking with the putrid bodies of muir
dered workers
But Hindenburg is able to stand this kind Of
an odor as well as the most experienced social
democrat official

Tom Mann Goes to Poland

The Polish embassy has given permission to
Tom Mann, veteran of a thousand battles of the
working class in dozen different countries, to en-
ter Poland as representative of the Workers
Weekly.
We hope nothing we say will cause the Polish
government to change its mind but if it thinks that
Tom can be fooled by any preparedin-advance
prisons which he will be allowed to inspect they
have another guess coming. Tom Mann will find
out more about the Polish government and it's
murderous assault upon the workers. its fortunes
and murders than it knows itself
That he does not speak Polish is no handicap to
Tom In Russia it is a matter of public knowledge
that he can talk with Russian workers and peas
ants and make himself understood and understand
them altho he knows but two words of Russian
and they know no English. Tom Mann will turn
the torture government of Poland inside out and
let the workers of the world see what makes it go.
The fact that he is allowed to enter Poland
as correspondent shows that the worldwide
demonstrations of the workers against the terror
of the Polish government is having its effect

AS WE SEET = ByT..J. O'FIuherty

It? Some will be convinced that they
must defend Wall Streets country.
Doesn't Berger say it's their? others
will become disguised and cynical and
will lose all faith in the working class
movement, and become potential fas-
cists. -
THE DAILY WORKER is the only
L antidote to the deadly drug carried
in the columns of such papers as the
Leader. 1t is more dangerous than
the capitalist press. The workers, at
least, are schooled to expect nothing
that is to their interest from that
quarter. But a socialist paper! And
when they see socialist paper come
out for larger air navy, defense, and
so forth, you cannot blame them for
having, a funny sensation inside their
think tanks.
MTHEN one turns to The DAILY
w WORKER, with its virile work
ing class tone, its bitter hatred of
capitalism and all it's works and
pomps, its Observation-Disclosures,
its defense of Soviet Russia, Red
army and all, its constructive pro-
gram for the organization of the
working class, its vision of social
list society where the worker alone
will rule-it seems a scandal that
during subscription drive we find on
instead of hundreds. Let our answer
to the treachery Of Berger and the rot
ten socialist party, as we'll as to capt.
talism, be new enthusiasm to put
our Communist paper into the hands
of the workers. Get more subs and
let The DAILY WORKER defend So
cialism against the socialists.

The Cleavage in the British
Labor Party

George Lansbury, writing on the record of the
British labor party as a government in his weekly
of April 4, substantiates every criticism of that
government made in the Communist press.
Our English correspondent gives this comment
which is causing a sensation within the British
labor party, in detail and it is sufficient here to
mention one or two of the most penetrating in
dictments made by Lansbury. He devotes his at
tention chiefly to- the Independent labor party
leadership and the fact that he still has hopes of
something good for the workers from this aggrega
ton of capitalist hangers-on makes his criticism
all the more interesting. He says:
cit 1.-THE labor government) was handicapped
from the start because its leaders, with one or two
exceptions, like parrots, went about the country
declaring that a labor government was exactly like
all other governments. Bankers were quite SAFE
capitalists were quite safe the monarchy was safe
and the empire In addition, the
prime minister (Ramsay MacDonald) in his first
letter India and his dispatch to Zaglul Pasha
proved that Indian policy and Egyptian policy
very largely to be carried on lines similar to
those already laid down the bombing of
homes buildings and sheep in Irak, India and
Egypt was accepted and defended as a painful
necessity by I. L. p ministers, who formerly were
pacifsts and conscientious directors against war"
With George Lansbury one of the most militant
and influential leaders of the British workers,
SuCn OplulOuS Ol leduefSnlp, II
is evident that within the labor party under the
influence of mass pressure resulting from the
proletarian disgust with the treachery and snob-
berry of the leadership, there is arising powerful
left wing movement-a center group in between
the Communists and the l. L. P. parliamentarians.
The outcome of these developments will very
likely be a coalition of the liberal party and the
MacDonalds, Thomases, Hendersons and Snowdens,
purging of the labor party of its most reaction
ary elements
OF the greatest influence in this new alignment
has been the report of the British trade union dele
CATION on Soviet Russia and the setting up of a
joint committee of British and Russian trade union
leaders to accelerate the drive for world trade
union unity This militant policy will in time force
a more clean-cut struggle with the British govern
ment.
In conservative Great Britain the revolutionary
movement is making its greatest progress today.
The Fifth Congress of the Communist Interna-
tiOnal was correct when it decided to make Great
Britain the center of gravity in the revolutionary
struggle in western Europe

days in prison are being served by
VIM. T. Christopher, former business
agent, Belleville Central Trades and

strikers in the struggle last summer
for union shop. The charge against
Christopher is violation of an injunc-
ton issued in behalf Of the Charles

Unity Drive Gains Impetus

Unity of the world trade union movement is not
mere catchword with the Russian and British
trade unionists. The formation Of the Anglo,Rus-
sian unity committee with Smile, Purcell Bran
ley and other prominent British trade union Of
fcials acting in concert with the representatives Of
the All.Russian trade unions, the immediate con
vening of the committee in London on April q, the
adoption Of a practical program for reaching the
membership of the trade unions in every country
over the head of the right wing leaders Of the
Amsterdam International, all show that the strug
Gle for consolidation of the world trade unions into
one powerful body is actually under way
The British ruling class by rejecting the miners
minimum wage bill and continuing the war on the
trade union movement in general are furnishing
the advocates Of unity in Great Britain with their
most telling arguments.

the Germany of the kaiser, linden
burg, the Barmats, and the Dawes
plan. But what about the Germany
of the working class? The Germany
that Berger pities, had enough lethal
weapons to murder Liebkhecht and
Luxembourg and thousands of other
workers. 1t had enough guns to shoot
down the workers of Halle only a few
weeks ago. Berger has no words to
waste on the slaughter of German
workers by the ruling class of that
country.
TT is well that Berger has finally
L thrown off his pacifist mask. At
best that was the extent of his So
cialism. When the left wing elements
left the socialist party there was very
little socialism left. But, thousands
of workers have mistaken pacifism for
real socialism. Berger's self-unmask-
ing is useful in disillusioning them.
This is important, because Berger
stands for the socialism of the second
International more shamelessly than
any other socialist leader in the Unit
ed States. Hillquit and the other
traitors are too clever to expose them
selves as Berger does-for the pres
ent.

ance of the field.

At the same time, Walsh announced
he also would investigate the disposi-
ton of $23O,OOO in liberty bonds
which were traced at the recent Tea
pot Dome trial at Cheyenne, Wyo.,

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION

MODERN community development
Ava makes considerable demands
upon the people for active atten-
tion to public matters. At the same
time the facilities for carrying on
such action have amazingly in
creased.
The telephone is one thing that
has done a lot to promote devel
opment. 1t sometimes seems mar
velous what the old timers were
able to accomplish without this
facility. They had good organiza-
tions, they had churches and fra
ternal and social and Improvement
societies. They had their lectures
and fairs and entertainments and
did lot of good work.
But they worked under great diff
ficulties. If the head of commit
tee wanted to communicate with
the members of that committee, he
had either to address letters or
postal cards to those members, or
he had to go around and see them
individually. That took a great
deal of time.
If a community does not accom-
plish social progress now, the trou-
BILE is in itself rather than in the
difficulties in the way. The prac-
tical obstacle is that the various
people have so many things on
hand that they want to do, thai
often you can't get them to give
attention to community efforts and
organization work.
But there are many towns where
people are public spirited enough
to give that attention, and aided by
modern facilities like the telephone
and automobile, they can accom-
plish remarkable progress.

GAS TO THE RESCUE

THE industries and homes of the
nation are rapidly turning to
manufactured gas for fuel and
heating, instead of coal, according
to official announcements by the
American Gas association at it's re-
cent convention.
In message to the convention,
President Coolidge declared that
the future of the gas industry de-
pended upon the extent to which it
devoted itself to public service.
1t was announced that every in
dustry where heat treating is part
of the manufacturing process is
represented in a large group which
has relinquished coal and other less
efficient fuels for gas during the
past year. The increased gas pro-
duction will be from three to five
billion cubic feet, it was said.
Gas house heating plants are be-
ing installed at the rate of $4,000
year and it is predicted that with
| in the next Is years, two million
homes will use gas heating, releas-
ing about 3O,OOO,00O tons of coal
for more useful purposes.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL WEEK

NEXT week, November 18th to
22nd, has been named as Ma
tional Educational Week. The
school come close to the heart Of
American people. You can always
get up an argument by starting
some question as to how schools
shall be run, so education is no
mere dry subject that interests only
the learned. Any family that has
children and any people anxious
for social and community progress
are interested in the better school
problem.
Arizona's schools are said to be
on the whole, among the best. in
the world, and yet many of them
are very lacking. Even the bes:
schools will admit that the train
ing of the human personality is
such an elusive problem that they
have only partly mastered it.
The themes of education week
should be taken up by civic organi-
Zations with addresses and debates
so that the people will have some
definite ideas of what can be done
to promote educational progress.
We need more popular enthusiasm
on this subject, a vigorous belief
that with more thorough measures
of education, the efficiency and in
telligence of the masses of the peo-
pie would be so developed that
poverty and lawlessness would
mostly cease, and the country
would reach a far higher level ot
prosperity and welfare.
The average citizen needs to un-
derstand educational problems bet
ter. He often thinks that schoo
methods are impractical and mo-
adapted to ordinary needs, wheI
the trouble may be simply tha
many students are indolent anC
won't learn. Also it may be tha
schools are struggling along on in
sufficient funds, and can't afford
to take up modern lines of train
ing. The subject is earnestly re
ferred to the people of Winslow il
hopes that they will take it up II
their homes and public assemblies
and that we shall all learn more
about it.

REAL MONEY PROPOSED

yer to take most of the wear
and enough gold to give intrinsic
value without the Objectionable sill
yer dollar size and weight, is said
to be under consideration by the
treasury department. The new sill

The public is constantly told that
our precious metal mining industry
is declining. No better step could
be taken to encourage it than to
again popularize the use of metal
for monetary purposes. Industrial
activity all over the world is put
ting lead, zinc and copper mining
back on it's feet. By circulating
more real metal money and less
paper, the dwindling supply of
precious metals will be augmented
by increased prospecting and pro-
duction.
