polemizes against Varga, who advo-
Gated the creation of peasant parties.
Peasant leagues are a more suitable
form of peasant organization than
political parties, because the league
represents economic and political de-
mands, has a looser organizational
form, permits the activities of differ
ent parties. and requires less dis.
cipline.
The peasant league enables us to
reach greater masses than the polite
al party. The small party organiza-
tions of the peasantry cannot displace
the mass organizations.
DOLEMIZING against Mestcheria,

agricultural workers unions may join
the peasant organizations. The bour-
geoisie has demonstrated it's ability
to bring peasants and landowners to-

the speaker points to two, dangers:
firstly, the danger Of passive atti'

ly, the danger of being absorbed by
the peasantry. The role Of the party,
and the hegemony of the proletariat
must not be forgotten. Varga dis
regards this factor; which is theo-
retically false and politically dan
gerous.

The conference began with a short

has arrived when every party must
place on the agenda the question OF
Notwithstanding education.
This conferences should answer two
questions: frstlyEwhat the content
of our propaganda should be, and sec
ondly-what the organizational forms
of our educational work should be.
Leninism must not remain the mono
polistic property OF the leaders; it
must become the common property OF
membership MASSES, and the mem.
bers must be developed into real mem,
bers of the Communist party. The
main task is to establish elementary
party schools for the education of the
membership.
The second task is, to develope a
competent party cadre for the pur-
pose Of establishing central party
schools. sas

Company Unions

The growth of company unions is one of the
dangers that confronts the labor movement but
safe and sane labor leaders deal with the problem
by closing their eyes to it.
In interview after interview which they give on
the subject they declare either that company
unions do not exist, that they are but a passing
phase of the period, that they are no menace to
organized labor.
1t is wrong to say that all the labor leaders close
their eyes to this problem for manyo of them, like
''B and O. Bill" Johnston of the International AS
sociation of Machinists are the most active work
ers for the company union plan.
Latest figures show that 1,177,000 workers are
now organized in company unions organized,
that is for the boss This is about third of the
present membership of the American Federation
of Labor and shows the strides made by these
openly apitalstcontrolled bodies In the United
States these unions occupy about the same place in
the social structure as the christian unions OF
Europe They not only make militant organiza-
ton difficult in the industries in which they are
formed, but they also are a reserve army that can
be shifted around and used as strikebreakers
The spread of these company unions is due to
by labor offcialdom. To say that the great bulk
of the American workers unorganizable is to
admit that we must surrender to American cap
italism.
The labor offcialdom takes this viewpoint. 1t
furnishes them with an excuse for adventures in
financial enterprises like banking and insurance
schemes, it gives them a sort of protective color
ing and they can pose saviors of the working
class whom the ignorant mass will not recognize.
But whenever the resistance of the labor official
dom to systematic organization campaigns like
that in the steel industry has been broken down
to some extent the unorganized workers have
responded.
The truth of the matter is that the labor bureau
cracy in this country wants no more organization
of the workers. 1t has enough to furnish huge
salaries and to finance prOft.making schemes that
bring in added returns. 1t in the rise of the
company unions the working out on the Industrial
field of it's class peace schemes in banking, etc.
The labor bureaucrats have quit fighting the
bosses with whom the takers are on good terms.
There is no other possible explanation for the
speeches and articles clamoring for industrial
peace that emanate from high officials and the Of
fetal journals of the labor movement
The organized workers are to be sold out to the
capitalists after being lulled to sleep by talk of
industrial peace.
To expose this conspiracy is the urgent duty of
the left wing of the labor movement and more and
more proof of the nature of the plot is disclosed

The New French Cabinet

The French cabinet received a vote of confidence,
216 to 36, but the real weakness of the new com
bination was revealed best by the fact that Marcel
Cachin, Communist deputy, attacked the govern
ment in the longest speech ever delivered in the
chamber while the other parliamentary blocs re-
mained silent.
Painleve, in his opening speech, showed that the
new cabinet is a creature of the bankers and this
point was emphasized by Cachin. Painleve clings
to the old demand for a security pact from which
Germany will be excluded and thus continues the
conflict with Great Britain atho he admitted that
the probability of substantial reparatiOn payments
was becoming DINNER.
The Communists are preparing huge demonstra-
tions for amnesty for political prisoners all over
France and the government is in delicate posi-
tion as result of Caillaux's elevation to the post
Of finance minister after having been convicted OF
treason and amnestied.
The deportation of immigrants and the war on
foreignborn workers, including Roy, leader of the
Communist Party of India, upon whose head the
British government set price, is also being made
an issue by the Communists. There some
100000 foreign-b born workers in France, many OF
them refugees from the fascist terror and the right
Of political asylum has been denied them. The
Iaineve cabinet is not in position to stand much
criticism on this score and the Communists
know it. -. t#
The cabinet is called upon to raise funds To
liquidate $1000,000,000 worth of shortterm notes
which fall due this year, and any disturbance of
the population will most certainly prevent this.
The reception OF the new government by the
chamber and the press do indicate very long life

The lockout in Denmark has developed into a

In Denmark there are 100000 organized work
