dous effect in Greece, Roumania Italy and Poland.
With Soviet government in the Balkans the line
of Imperialism between Europe and Asia Minor
would be seriously endangered if not broken com
pletey.
just as the Finnish revolution was crushed by a
German army under Mannerheim, so is the war on
the workers and peasants of Bulgaria conducted
by the scourngs of the capitals of Europe from the
troops of Wrangel to the gunner who took part in
the separatist movement in the Ruhr
Bulgaria enemy nation in the world war,
her army was reduced after the armistice and
severe restrictions were placed on her by the allies
Today she appears a friend in need. Her request
for additional troops to turn loose on the workers
and peasants has been granted and the sympathetic
tone of the dispatches to the capitalist press in
dictate that the Bulgarian government has the full
support of the allies in its murderous work.
In addition to the support given the bloody
Zankov government the European capitalist press,
with that of Great Britain sounding the keynote,
is opening campaign of Islander of the Com
munist International and the Soviet government
Poland has recruited 10000 additional troops
and in all the border states, backed by allied
finance and bayonets, there are evidences of fever
sh military activity.
Is new war on Soviet Russia in the offng?
Perhaps. Certainly there is need for the greatest
watchfulness on the part of the working class
everywhere
AS for the COMMUNISTS in Bulgaria they are
bounded and hunted like wild beasts, but the very
ferocity of the Zankov government is proof of it's
weakness Even the capitalist press is forced to
admit that troops are going over to the revolu
tionsts and that in many districts the government
has been routed.
Whatever comes out of the struggle in Bull
gara, victory or defeat for the workers and peas
ants, it will be only prelude to greater struggle
in eastern and southeastern Europe between the
masses led by the Communists and the terror gov
ernments of capitalism.

In France the situation is no better,
since the peasants are influenced by
the big landowners, and the peasants
co-operatives are connected with the
banks. The larger the peasant organ
ization, the more reactionary is its
leadership.
AS to the conquest of the peasantry
we are as yet at the beginning Of
our task; which fact, in period of
temporary sterilization, is very de-
pressing. Our balance on this field
is unfavorable, altho the seizure of
power without winning over the peas
ant reserves is problematic.
TINE bourgeoisie has recognized the
4 importance Of the peasant re-
serves, as may be seen from the
statements of many bourgeois econ
omists who consider the peasantry as
the main support of conservatism.
The war and postwar periods have
dug deep into the peasantry and have
changed the character of that section
of the peasantry which is not so much
bound up with private property-just
as they have changed the character
of the proletariat. The process Of de-
velopment is of course slower among
the peasantry than it is among the
workers.
We must win over the poor peas
antry. The present epoch is char
acterized by the struggle between the
bourgeoisie and the proclamation
the conquest of the peasantry. The
bourgeoisie understands this better
than the Communists; they form the
united front with the peasants in or
der to win them over to their side.
TIME fascists and the social demo-
Gratis also work among the peas
antry; we-the least of all. The bour-
geoisie is striving to agrarianize the
world, and to develop agriculture at
the expense of industry-in order to
prevent the social revolution The
bourgeoisie at times opposes the i'm
provement of agriculture technique,
in order to prevent land-Communism.
The bourgeoisie is carrying out the
united front tactic, as. may be seen
from its land reforms. The measly
land reforms arose under the pressure
from the peasantry; however, they
give rise to illusions among the peas
antry.
THE bourgeoisie organizes the agri-

co-operatives which in turn are close
ly bound up with the banks.
In Finland the co-operatives are
dominated by two banks

Textile Workers Needs

Nine textile unions are amalgamating in Great
Britain.
A few years ago, when the American textile
workers read of the conditions of the British work
ers in the same industry they could and did con-
graduate themselves on the difference in their
favor. They did not Organize-at least not to any
extent
Today, the textile barOns have the industry com
pletely controlled. Textile towns have the same
meaning as coal and copper camps-they are com
munites where the capitalists of the local indus
tries are supreme Wages are low, employment
precarious and working conditions bad. The mill
owners are reducing the wages of the American
textile operatives to starvation scale
The Trade Union Educational League of the tex
tile industry is calling a conference in Lawrence
next Sunday April 26. The purpose of the con-
ference is to establish united front of all the
workers and organizations in the industry, to or
ganize the power of the workers against that of
the textile capitalists, to prepare the way for ANAL
gamation of the many feeble unions in the industry
and great organizing campaign.
The British textile workers have set an example
for the American industry. Let next Sunday mark
the beginning of a new era for the textile work
ers-an era of organization and struggle that will
end with the unionizaton of every textile mill on
the continent
Shop committees, amagamation and industrial
unions-these are the immediate goals for the
victims of the textile capitalists

Garveys Imprisonment Is Capitalist Plot

masses not to aspire to social and po-
litical equality in the United States,
Garvey has degraded the dignity of
the great Negro people and injured
their cause. In the convention Of the
U. N. l. A. Of August, 1924, Garvey
persuaded the convention to refuse to
make a stand against the ku klux
khan, which habitually murders, tor
lures and terrorizes the Negro people.
The Workers (Communist) Party
does not endorse the leadership of
Marcus Garvey, but severely con-
dennis it.
DUT the Imprisonment Of Marcus
- Garvey is a political question hav-
ing nothing to do with the personal
deficiencies of the man. The brutal
manner in which this Negro leader
was treated upon the occasion of his
arrest, the fiouting Of his "legal'
rights both while on trial and while
under bond, as well as the fact of
his imprisonment, are intended as an
insult and an injury to the 10000
900 Negro workers and farmers of
America. This is a direct attack by
capitalist government against the
Negro masses whom the government
fears and hates. It must be made
lesson to the Negro people, that the
capitalist government which suppress
SEES their efforts at organization is the
bitterest enemy of the Negro people
and of the working class.
A GOVERNMENT which exists for
"A the purpose of robbing the masses
of the products of their toll, a gov
eminent run by thieves for the bene-
fit of thieving class and even headed
at present by the thieves of Teapot
Dome, cannot persuade us that it has
become the protector of the masses
from robbery. If Garvey has swim
died his people it is for his people to
Judge, and not for the capitalist gov
eminent which is the enemy of the
Negro people.
The real reason for the arrest of
the president of the Negro associa-
ton is the crude belief that this will
cause the organization to fall to
pieces.

economic, social and political respects,
is fundamental fact. The second
phenomenon is the agrarian crisis, the
third, the growth of peasant activities
in all countries, the fourth, the differ
entiation of the peasantry and its or
CARNATIONS.
On this basis the peasant movement
is developing contradictions, between
large landowners and peasants, and
between the peasantry and big CAPT
tai. The form of these contradictions
is as follows: the struggle for land;
the demand for protective tariffs, and
the tax question.
MANY Communist parties have NOT
4E yet realized the necessity of APP
preaching the peasantry with empiri-
cal demands. The main demands of
all peasant organizations revolve
about the tax problem. Taxation pol
icy is state policy; hence the neces-
sity for taking advantage Of this cir.
cumstance, in order to bring the peas.
antry into conflict with the bourgeois
state.
1t is very important to fight the
trustindustry for lower prices Of in
dustrial goods. On this basis it is
necessary to combine the struggles Of
the workers and peasants.
Our tasks in the field of organiza-
ton differ with the circumstances,
whether in the particular country any
peasant organizations exist or not.
THERE are two kinds of peasant or
CARNATIONS: political parties, and
peasant leagues. Our tactic is, to sup
port the left wing, and split it off
when the situation has matured.
In those countries where the organ.
ization of the peasantry requires our
initiative, it should be the rule not to
form political parties but peasant
leagues. 1t is the great mass Of small
peasants that has to be won over, and
not the small Communist peasant
sects; for this work, peasant leagues
are more suitable.
THE Communist parties neglect the
study of the peasant question, and
are too little informed on agrarian
reforms The Rote Fahne and the
Internationale in Germany seldom
write about the agrarian question;
similarity with the press of the other
parties. The bourgeoisie studies and
understands the peasant question bet
ter, and pursues better policy.
There can be no victory without win
ming over the peasantry, and there
can be no real Bolshevism without
correct agrarian policy. (Stormy APP
plause.)

GOMRADE BUOHARIN on the peas
~ ant question: Altho it is the
fashion nowadays to call oneself a
feminist and to renounce Trotskyism,
many comrades are Of the opinion
that the peasant question is, in the
more developed capitalist countries,
of secondary importance. This view
is absolutely false and Trotskyist.
According to Trotsky's theory of the
permanent revolution, it should have
been impossible for the Russian pro-
letariat to maintain its power with
out the aid of the well-organized West
European proletariat, This theory is
false, because after the world victory
of the proletariat. the agrarian ques-
ton will reproduce itself on a higher
scale. u
The agrarian question is just as
much the problem Of our epoch, as
that of the seizure of power by the
proletariat. The colonial question is
in reality but the struggle of the colo
NAL peasantry against the imperial
lists. gu
The elimination OF opportunism is
closely connected with the peasant
question, because it is only by means
of the surplus profits from the colon
les that the bourgeoisie is able to
render the upper strata of the work
ing class bourgeois.
THE Chinese problem is but a ques.
ton of organizing the Chinese
peasants against the imperialists. The
economic weight of the peasantry is
also important, because the positions
of France and Britain are determined
by their colonial possessions. At the
present time there exist three decis-
i've social FORMS
Firstly, the big bourgeoisie and
large estate owners.
Secondly, the proletariat.
Thirdly, the peasantry. The peas
antry constitutes gthe decisive factor
in the relations of power, whereas in
the most important industrial coun-
tries, we have almost no influence
whatever on the peasantry.
THE speaker gives a thoro analysis

Guns ard Workers

Chief of Police Collins, of the peaceful American
city of Chicago, called in his police captains and
told them to have their cops wear their guns in
front After short speech on the necessity of
added vigilance in order to check the crime wave,
the chief ordered the captains to go out and search
the camps of MEXICAN laborers, who, he said,
have been getting guns lately.
This little incident is revealing in the insight
it gives us into the mental process of the bold and
fearless man-hunters of capitalist government
There are probably hundred thousand inhabi-
tants of the Chicago underworld who carry guns
but it is to Mexican laborers that the chief Of DO
lice directs the attention Of his underlings
All of which is proof of our contention that
gun in the hands of a workingman is considered
thousand times more dangerous by the bosses
than hundred thousand in the possession of
actual criminal elements

/ running the farmers on the one side
and are financing the co-operatives on
the other.
In the, question Of protective tariffs
the large estate owners have succeed
ed in winning over a section Of the
peasantry to their side.
TINE bourgeoisie in general, is trying
4 by all means to win over the
peasantry. Our occupation with the
peasantry should not be considered a
sickness of the Communist parties.
The fundamental error of Trotskyism
is the underestimation of the peasant
question. In this respect, the prac-
teal activities of many Communist
parties are not Leninistic. The Russ
ian discussion was extremely import
ant because the correct tactic in the
peasant question has been found.
THE speaker then proceeds to char
4 acterize the prejudices of the
Communist parties in the peasant
question. The underestimation of the
work among the peasantry has its
roots in the craft theology of the work.
ers in industrial countries. We must
make an effort to overcome this ideo-
logy.
In the organic phase Of capitalism,
twas necessary to clear the obstacles
hindering the development of capital
ism. At present the immediate task
is, the conquest of power, and the ques-
ton Of allies is the most urgent one
in our whole policy. To refuse to
work among the peasantry is to cap
itulate before craft opportunism.
THE great problems of peasant pol
icy must be treated differently
according to the given epoch, and in
accordance with the concrete situa-
ton. The main cause of the over
throw of the Soviet dictatorship in
Hungary was the absolutely inadmis-
sible policy pursued in the peasant
question, namely, the failure to par
eel out the large estates in favor of
the small peasantry.
Some Hungarian comrades do not
yet grasp the significance of this fun
damental error. The negative expert
ences of the Hungarian revolution and
of the Italian government, and the pos
tive experience Of the Russian revolu-
ton, should be thoroly studied and ap-
piled, since we have to deal here
with strategic problem of the first
order-without which victory is I'M
thinkable. ,ne -
