lemned all reactionary attacks on the
w. |. r.
The trade union movement for unity
was described and demanded as fact
of the greatest significance for the
well-being of the proletariat of the
whole world The English trade
union report on Russia is published
for Germany by the "Neur Deutscher
Verlag" which is in close touch with
the w. l. R., on the basis of the agree
ment between the Russian and Eng
fish trade unions.
Owing to the recognition of the ne
cessity of creating an international
united front for the trade unions, it is
possible in England that leading mem
bers of the social democratic party
support the W. l. R., that for instance,
Lansbury was at the Conference.
elected chairman of the Central Com.
mittee of the W. l. r., and that Pur-
cell, the English president Of the
Amsterdam trade unions, took part in
the Congress. Altho there was NO
such intention, the conference of the
British w. l. R., which met to solve
questions of organization and to pre-
pare the ground for a campaign OF
relief for the straving people of Ire
land, turned into a demonstration in
favor of international alliance of the
working masses, not only in the or.
ganization of the proletarian self-help
but also in the trade union movement
In Japan also the w. |. r. and the
trade unions joined in their efforts for
the solidarity and homogeneous ALI
ance of all working and exploited peo-
pie under the slogan Amsterdam and
Moscow. In Germany, France and, in
the last weeks, in Czecho-Slovakia, the
afflliation of trade union organizations
to the w. |. r. is steadily making great
progress. In Germany Almost all the
organizations of the excluded trade
unions have joined the w. l. r., but
only a few of those of the German
General Federation Of Labor.
In its capacity as an international
super-party organization, the w. I. r.
can work in the spirit of the proletar-
ian united front. 1t can help to un.
mask the treachery of the reactionary
trade union leaders who no longer
represent the interests of their mem
bers but, in every economic struggle
are found wanting and take sides with
the employers.
Just from this point Of view 1t is
necessary to work more than ever in
all countries for the afiiliation Of all
trade unions and take sides with the
employers.
Should II be impossible for that
which is already taking place in Eng
land to become a reality in the labor
movement thruout the world?
To work. Comrades!

the course Of its activity
5. Ascertalnment of the objective
obstacles in the way of any given
necessary measures.
6. Ascertainment of the measures
to be taken by the agitprop depart
ment of the c. |. in support of the
agitprop work of the parties.
A LII these factors can only be sat
4 a isfactorily ascertained If we have
the most carefully drawn up reports
to go by; most reports, however, con-
tain only part of the exhaustive ma
terial imperatively required for an
adequate examination.
The compilation of experiences in
the agitprop department Of the Com
munist International is being carried
on along normal lines to the extent
that communication with the parties
is established. But altho a certain
amount of progress may be observed
in the development of this communi-
cation, there still remains much to be
desired. Some of the larger and poll
tically decisive parties are still not
fully conscious of the Importance and
necessity of regular communication,
to say nothing of the smaller parties.
Reports sent by the agitprop organs
of our sections are Of course not the
sole means of keeping up this com
munication they are not even the
most successful means. The expert
ence gained up to now has proved
that even the best of reports cannot
give a concretely true picture of the
work being done, and especially OF
the conditions under which it is done.
The indispensable statements of the
report are lacking in life and color
until we hear the personal report Of a
representative of the party The agit-
prop department of the G. |. seizes
every opportunity of receiving such
personal reports, and does its ut
most to encourage detailed consulta-
ton in agitprop work, with the rep
rcscntatives of the different sections,

The Compilation of Experiences Gained by the Parties

of development of the separate Sec
tions.
The generalization of experiences
implies the necessity of it's detailed
study from definite points of view.
The rapid dispatch Of all material
relating to agitprop work is naturally
the fundamental prerequisite for a
successful study and exchange Of ex-
periences. Unless we receive exhaus-
tive and detailed information on the
agitprop work being carried on we
can form no clear general survey Of
it. Fruitful criticism cannot be made
on the basis of defective reports. The
main subject of study is the periodi-
cal reports sent in by the agitprop
departments of the different sections.
But apart from the fact that this
drawing up of reports has not by any
means been thoroly organized as yet,
it does not form an adequate founda-
ton for the drawing of the necessary
conclusions. The parties, especially
the large parties, must draw up spe-

propaganda action founding of
party schools, organization of stu
dents circles, party libraries, press
publishing, etc.), as soon as the work
has been set going, and send these
to the agitprop department of the
executive committee of the Commun-
list International
When the material thus compiled is
studied, attention must chiefly be CIV
en- to the following points:
1. If and to what extent the total
agitprop work carried on by the party
follows the principles laid down by
the Communist International, and
supports in agitation and propaganda
the political action of the party.
2. What methods are being en-
ployed for this purpose.
8. Ascertainment of the actual in
itiative exercised by the party in
question
4. Ascertainment of the fundamen-
tai political and meteorological errors

ONE Of the fundamental principles
~ distinguishing the Communist In
ternational from the social democratic
international is the question of the
relations maintained between the
Communist Parties Of the different
countries 1t is the endeavor of the
Communist International to become
a really Communist world party, that
Is, 1t strives to pursue one uniform
political line, line tested and APP
proved by the world congress.
This aim can, however, only be at
tanned if the various sections do not
remain isolated from one another, but
make use Of the experiences gained
in the party work Of all the other sec.
lions. To lead means at times adapt
ing experience to the given moment.
Hence the necessity and Importance
of an international exchange Of the
experiences gained in general politi-
cal work, and especially in the agit-
prop work done by the parties.
This necessity having been recog-
nized, the agitprop department of the
executive committee of the Commun-
list International organized, after the
fifth congress, special working de-
partment for the compilation of the
experiences gained in agitprop work
in the various sections.
THE collection and generalization
1 of experiences on an international
scale is of the utmost Importance, for
it transforms the formal relations ex-
listing among the parties into real
contact originating in the actual i'm
port of party work. 1t will thus be
seen that what is required is not a
mechanical and uniform transference
of delineations of experiences from
one party to another, but different
alton according to the economic and
political structure of the different
countries, and a corresponding adapta-
ton to the political tasks and stages

both in the sessions Of the department
and in separate consultations with
the functionaries Of the department
and VIC must admit that we have on.
~ been able to form a really concrete
idea OF the work being done by those
parties with which we have come into
personal communication.
A further measure which has aided
us to gain general conception of
the agitprop work of the parties has
been the distribution of question
forms to the centrals, with the re-
quest for exhaustive replies. Such
question forms were twice distribute
ed to the parties. The first was sent
in on the occasion Of the fifth con-
gress; the second, the improved edi-
ton so to speak, some months later.
Only very few of the parties land
strangely enough the smaller parties,
and even the illegal ones) filled out
the question forms in a manner en-
abling them to be used for future
control of work. The majority of
the answers received were entirely
vague and nebulous.
1t thus becomes evident that the
success of the second and most Inn
portant fundamental task, the gener-
alization of the experiences gained,
the conversion of the raw materials
sent to us into the common property
of the international, is entirely de-
pendent on our obtaining exhaustive
material and dealing with it efficient
ly. The gaps in communication above
described show why the agitprop de-
partment of the c. |. during the com
paratively brief period which has
elapsed since the fifth world congress,
has been able to occupy itself with
the accumulation of material, but has
not yet enough at its disposal for pur-
poses of generalization. What are the
initial methods of generalization now
being taken up? Various instructions
have been given out with reference
to the agitprop work of the parties.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-06-23

After large international campaigns
critical descriptions of the campaign
as carried out in the various coun-
tries have been sent to the parties
(for instance after the anti-war
week.. 1t need not be said that the
methods of generalizing experience
must be systematized and perfected.
Here the international party press is
our most effectual instrument. A per
manent column in the Imprecorr, or
better still periodical supplement
dealing with questions Of agitation
and propaganda, would be the best
method towards the systematic gen.
eralization of experiences, until such
time as it will be possible to publish
a special international periodical de-
voted to questions of agitation and
educational work in the parties.
THIS task of compiling and general
izing our experiences is not only
part of agitprop work internationally,
as we'll nationally. In the central COM
mittees Of at least. the large parties
a comrade must be specially commits
stoned with the task of studying the
agitprop work of the whole of the
party organizations, down to the nu-
clei and generalizing it within the
frame of the party.
The agitprop department OF the e.
c. c. |. will make use of the opportun-
ity offered by the impending agitprop
conference to be held by the repre-
sentatives of the parties for the pur-
pose of explaining all questions con-
nected with the compilation and gen
eralization of experience, and for lay
ing down definite rules of work. Vari-
GUS types of reports, corresponding
to the conditions under which work
has to be done in the different coun-
tries, will be drawn UP, and even real
liable method of communication dis
cussed in detail. There is no doubt
whatever that the development of this
field of activity signifies a mighty
stride forward towards systematic
organization of the agitprop work of
our parties.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-(FP)-
State laws regulating the subject

tic schools, enacted In 1929, have
been complied and published, along
with other school laws, by the U. s.
bureau Of education as Bulletin No. 2,
series Of 1925. Teaching of the federal
constitution is required In q states
and is recommended In Texas, while
teaching Of the declaration Of indie
pendence is required only in Mime

Florida, in 1923, enacted: THAT it is
the sense of the legislature Of the
state of Florida that it is improper
and subversive of the best interests of
the people of this state for any pro-
lessor, teacher or instructor in the
public schools and colleges of this
state, supported in whole or in part
by public taxation, to teach or permit
to be taught atheism, or agnosticism,
or to teach as true Darwinism, or any
other hypothesis that links man in

Delaware, in 1928, prescribed by law
that AT least 5 verses from the holy
bible shall be read each school day
at opening Of school,; also that the
lords prayer shall be repeated, but
no other religious services or exer-
cises be permitted.
Maine, under ku klux guidance, also
required daily bible reading in the
common schools. Mississippi ordain-
ed that the ten commandments should
be included in a compulsory course in
"the principles of morality and good
manners" Arkansas went farther,
with requirement that school children

North Carolina provides compulsory
teaching of "Americanism,' which is
defined as including respect for law
and order, the character and ideals of
the founders of our country, duties of
citizenship, respect for the national

good government, and study of the
state and federal constitutions.
Oregon makes it a duty of every

schools to select and install textbooks
on American history and civil govern

territory on which general proletarian
class interests are represented and
corresponding demands made, that is

For this reason the w. |. K. may, in
carrying out it's duties as prepare

which workers of all shades of opinion

Joint activity, become the base for the
preparation of a united front of trade
unienism on an International scale.
Thus it is no coincidence that just
the English trade unions, both their
individual associations and their lead
ers show growing sympathy with the
w. l. r. and are becoming members of
it,
How strong this growing interest is,
! has been shown by the English w. l.
r. Conference, and may be proved by
the following facts:
Trade union, cooperative and party
representing the most important trade
unions of England, took part in the
Conference. Among them were the
unions of engine-drivers and stokers
of the united electricity workers, OF the
united workers in the building trade,
the transport workers, the railway
men, town and municipal employees,
clerks, further representatives of the
workers defense council and the ten
ants defense league; finally represen-
tatives Of the labor party and the in
dependent labor party and of the Com
munist Party of England. of the Gen
eral Trade Union Council (also OF
the London Trade Union Council) as
we'll as Of the minority movement
numerous women's organizations, etc
In the executive of the w. |. R.
the following trade union and coop
erative associations are represented:
The Miners Union of Great Britain by
its general secretary A. j. Cook, the
National United Woodworkers' Assoc
iation by its general secretary Alex

mated Unions of Building Trade
Workers A. U. B. T. w. by its gen

Enfield, and A. A. Purcell, at present
! president OF the Amsterdam Trade
Union International.
The mixed commission of the labor
party and of the Trade Union Con.
gress will at its next meeting discuss
the conditions under which every lead

ton Of the English working class will
send a representative to the executive
OF the w. I. r.
