COUGH WRETCHES

Peter Gnome was feeling very sad.
He was angry, too. You know how
much Peter Gnome loves children and
it makes him both angry and sad If
children have to have any trouble
whatever.
He is always going about, wearing
an invisible robe SO people cannot see
him, trying to do all he can to help
children.
He is happiest when children are
happy. He is sad when anything goes
wrong with them.
He had been busy arguing with the
TonsiI Twins, who had been bothering
little friend of his, when he heard
that the Whooping Cough Wretches
had gone to visit some children in a
beautiful town overlooking the sea.
He was particularly fond of these
children.
In fact he didn't know any children
of whom he was more fond than these
two children in particular whose
names were John and Gordon.
Gordon was very little-not little
for his age, but little compared to his
older brother, John. Gordon was not
so very old. He had not been in the
world very long, but every minute and
every day since he had been in the
world he had been growing more won
derful.
potar Gnorna Thought ha was very
wonderful He loved the look Of his
Beverly banner. [volume] (Beverly, N.J.) 1877-1964, 1925-08-07

straight little back and sturdy legs.
He liked the way his bright golden
hair curled up little at the ends.
He liked him when he was not look
ing at his back but when his face was
to be seen, for his face, thought Peter
Gnome, was just about as all right as
a face could be.
Gordon was not called Gordon very
often though it was his real name. He
was usually called Honey or some
thing very affectionate.
1t was even hard not to call hfm
Baby, though he was baby no longer.
But he was lovable and sweet and APP
pealing in much the same way that a
baby is lovable and sweet and appeal
ing.
80 adorable. oh, how adorable he
looked then. And when he woke up
and his gay voice could be heard all
over the house he seemed even more
adorable. He was always suddenly so
wide-awake and so bright.
John was a splendid boy, fine and
unselfish, manly and admirable in
every way, which meant, of course,
that Peter Gnome admired him huge
~. Peter could never have told you
whether he thought more of John
than of Gordon, or more of Gordon
than of John.
Yet perhaps because John had been
In the world longer than Gordon he
was a trife fonder of John He had
had more time in which to grow fond
Of Johni
And now those wretched wretches
Of Whooping Cough creatures had
gone, without being invited. to see
John and Gordon. They took their
whoops along with them. True, John
and Gordon and their mother and
daddy were always welcoming friends
to the house, but when those wretches
came along no one wanted them at
all.
They played their same mean
games Every so often they made
John give a whooping cough and they
did the same thing with Gordon.
Peter Gnome rushed off to see them.
You wretches" he said. "You
mean, mean wretches, to come and
play your horrid games in the house
where John and Gordon live, and even
when they go out into their back gar
den you follow them along"
The Whooping Cough Wretches are
such wretches that they like to be
mean. That just shows you what they
are like. And they laughed at Peter
Gnome and made John whoop and
then made Gordon whoop.
"You should be ashamed of your.
selves" said Peter Gnome.
/ "Whoop, whoop, whoop," cackled
the Whooping Cough Wretches.
"Oh. you have been here long
enough now, do, for PHYS sake. leave
my two friends. John and Gordon
alone now"
/ Well. they didn't mind when they
were called wretches, they were never
ashamed of themselves. but when Pc
ter Gnome suggested they had been
around long enough they thought tc
themselves that maybe they were tired
Of playing here, and they began te
pack up their things and leave And
as they began to pack to leave Peter
Gnome said:

characteristic Of the whole Czechish
party press) For instance, the Vor-
warts publishes the decisions arrived
at by the congress on the question OF
unity, and presents them in form ex-
cellent for purposes of agitation. But
instead of continuing the campaign
thus commenced, not merely in the
form of articles, but with the addi-
tional aid of headlines, short notes,
etc, the Vorwarts permits the unity
campaign to disappear from its col
umns for days and weeks, and it only
reapears when some external cause
brings it to the surface again. There
is lack of concrete application of in
ternational decisions to Czechish con-
ditions. There is an almost entire
lack of agitation for the unity Of all
Czechish trade union centrals. The
slogan OF unity is not carried into the
actual struggle, for instance in the
recent wage struggle in the Mahrisch
Ostrau district The result Of this is
that the agitation made by the Vor-
warts for the unity of the trade unions
is stereotyped and abstract in charac-
ter.
In this connection it may be pointed
out that much too little significance
was attached to the attitude of the
English delegates in Moscow. Pre-
cisely in Czecho.Slovakia much should
have been made of the fact that Pur-
cell is not only an English trade
union leader, but at the same time
chairman of the Amsterdam Trade
Union International.
The attitude adopted by the vor-
warts to the factory council move
ment shows similar faults. The
lengthy decisions OF the national exc
cutive committee have not been suffi.

Mondya morning everyone ate a
hearty breakfast After breakfast the
students met in the large hall, where
tables and seats, etc. had been ar
ranged. A Y. W. L. branch was
formed, the various officers, and COM
mittees were elected.
Committees were elected for every
thing: Firewood, water, cleanup,
work, yard, and X. P. And the COM
mittees got to working efficiently.
The 40 minute periods for each sub
ject make them more interesting, and
lessen the restlessness of the class.
Between each period, there is a 10
minute recess, which gives one that

reprint the resolutions and. theses In
one or two leading articles. The de-
cisions should be impressed again and
again upon the memories Of the work
ers by popular articles on each sep
arate demand by leading headlines,
blocked notices, etc. Such methods
of popularism are an indispensable
prerequisite for the Inauguration of so
young a movement as the Czechish
factory council movement. But the
Vorwarts omits them entirely.
The Vorwarts devotes too little at
.tention to the politics pursued by the
German social democrats in Czecho-
Slovakia. Polemics against social
democracy confined to brief notes or
to the local column This is a fault
The Vorwarts should carry on sys-
tematic campaign against social de-
mocracy, especially against its cen
trail organ, the Prague Sozialdemokrat
The Vorwarts omits to carry on an
energetic and emphatic campaign for
the recognition Of Soviet Russia by
the Czechish government The recog-
milton of the U. S. S. r. by France
should have been used for an ener-
getic campaign.
The second party conference of the
Czechish Communist Party was not
sufficiently dealt with by the vor-
warts. General articles are absolutely
inadequate And the same must be
said of general appeals to work. etc.
Above all, the slogan of "Bolsheyiza.
tion" and the party decisions on the
national question are not sufficiently
popularized and explained Precisely
at the present juncture the yorwarts
should deal energeticalIy and continu-
ously with the theological and organ
isatory aspects of the slogan: Dol
shevization of the Czechish Commun-
ist Party" The phrase: I'VE are no
longer concerned with speaking Of
The daily worker., 1925-07-03

Bolshevization, but with its exc
cution" is wrong. On the contrary.
Our Czechish party press must speak
and agitate a very great deal more
with respect to Bolshevization in or
der to be understood by the masses
The same applies to the national ques-
tion. Brief notices and popular para
graphs must draw the attention Of the
German workers constantly to the
new character of the decisions on
the national question Every national
movement among other nationalities
must be placed in the foreground OF
agitation. The political change ih-the
line pursued by the party since the
Second Party Conference must be
demonstrated by the Vorwarts thru
the medium of its application by the
new party leadership.
III.
The Vorwarts and the Organization
Life of the Party.
THE organization life of the party is
= insuficiently expressed in the
Vorwarts 1t is frequently relegated
to the local reports, and drags on
wretched existence amidst the munic-
ipal and other local affairs. There is
an entire lack of a concrete reflection
of the organizatory events In the
party, which should be dealt with in
the political column. The supplement
for tha faeforiec and .yorLs ;s a r-aisa
worthy initiative, bat 1t published too
many general articles instead Of re-
ports sent directly from the work
shops and factories by worker CORE
spondents The organization of net
work of worker correspondents is
among the first tasks of the Vorwarts.

Technical Questions.
ME have the impression that the
W adoption of the new political line
The daily worker., 1925-07-03
On the Reichenberg VOrwQrts of the Communist
Party of Czecho- -SIOUakia

has not been carried out with suffici-
ent care. 1t frequently occurs that the
Vorwarts publishes important and ur-
gent notices on the last page of the
paper under wires" And it occurs
even more frequently that the first
page of the Vorwarts is filled with
lengthy articles of much less urgency,
so that the so important first page is
lost as far as agitation is concerned.
This is one of the main technical
faults of the Vorwarts. Too little at
tention is given to the first page of
the paper. The reverse should be the
case. The first page is the most i'm
portant of the paper. The most impor-
tant news must be concentrated here
as far as possible. The first page
must be utilized for agitation. Long
articles, filling the whole page, should
not be printed as continuous letter
press, but must be made effective for
agitation. Interruptions by means OF
headlines, etc. 1t is incomprehensi-
BILE to us why the Vorwarts almost in
variably prints the political section in
bourgeois or long primer type. The
use of smaller types would impart
much more striking appearance to the
paper A further mistake is the pro
vincialist divisions into home, abroad,
etc. 1t is a matter of experience that
a division of matter according to sub
ject is much more effective than a
geographical division.
In our opinion the local section of
the paper should be completely re-
formed. The reports on the proceed
ings in the local councils, etc. are ac-
corded too much space They should
be substituted by reports on events
affecting the workers more directly.
The local section should accord the
greatest possible space to letters from
worker correspondents.
The daily worker., 1925-07-03
Report Of the Asitprop Department Of
the Executive Committee of the
Communist international.

ENROM the journalists point Of view,
4 the Reichenberg Vorwarts is the
best conducted paper run by the
Czechish Communist Party. Its style
of diction is full of life, it strives to
raise the level of it's readers in inter
national questions, and shows a decid-
ed tendency to rid itself of the pro-
vincialism which is one of the unhap-
piest legacies bequeathed by social
democratic past to the party press Of
the Czechish Communist Party. But
the Vorwarts is too much under the in
fiuence Of the labor movement in the
German reich. Without doubt it is it's
duty to act as connecting link be-
tween the revolutionary German work
ers of Czecho-Slovakia and those of
Germany, but this should not by any
means be done at the expense of the
actual and urgent problems of Czech
politics. The vorwarts gives the inn
preston of inability to follow the
Czechish Party press or the press
printed in the Czechish language 1t
reacts slowly and cumbersomely to
the politics Of the Czechish govern
ment. There is a lack of immediate
actual contact with the struggles and
peculiar characteristics of the nom
German workers of Czecho-Slovakia.
n.
The Political Line Of the Paper.
WHILST the Vorwarts maintains
w one continuous line in questions
Of international politics, this cannot
be said of it with regard to Czechish
politics Before all there is lacking a
persistent carrying thru of the gen.
eral campaign Of the party. (this is
