trition-and speedily. The shop nue.
leus as the unit Of our party gives us
an efficient organizationaf- base from
which to carry on our Communist
work but just as important is the
complete proletarianization Of our
party that will result-not only by the
elimination of non-working class ele-
and understanding of the needs and
thoughts Of the masses, the complete
orientation Of our party towards in
dustry and the industrial workers as
the only sound basis for Communist
party. a
What are the conclusions from the
above?
They are: a. That our press dur
ing the period of reorganization must
keep the attention of the party fixed
on the mass movement to higher de-
gree than ever in order that our in
ternal problems, important as they are
for the future of our party, may not
overshadow the need for constant par
ticipation in every struggle of the
workers and thereby defeat the real
purpose Of shop nuclei reorganization.
(2) That our press must devote
the greatest attention to the reorgan-
ization campaign itself and keep the
membership fully informed on all it's
political and organizational implica-
tions.
(3) That our press must take the
lead in stimulating the whole party
to disciplined and continuous en-
deavor in reconstructing our party by
discussion of all problems encounter
ed. Especially must it concentrate on
securing and publishing the expert
ences Of the field workers who en-
counter the reorganization problems
not as academic propositions which
can be solved theoretically but who
must solve internal party problems
as part of the whole work OF our
party as a section of the Communist
International "A living organism
which must fight to live and fulfill its
revolutionary role.

attitude OF the reactionary leadership
in the British labor movement. The
war against the Communist Party and
the National Minority Movement is
continuing as relentless as ever, but
some Of these same leaders let the
secret out by explaining how "illogi-
car it is to advocate trade agree
ment with Soviet Russia and at the
same time to refuse as trade unionists
to join hands with the Russian unions.
If further proof is required, the re-
cent happenings in China provides it.
Similar Attitude.
Despite the authentic information
supplied by the labor press and even
its own organ. the Executive Com
mittee of the labor party decided to
take no definite steps until more
news on the causes" of the Chinese
rising was available and even when
the situation was the subject Of dis
cussion in the house of commons we
find practically no difference between
the attitude of the labor party and the
cabinet. Both Macdonald and Trevel-
yam, the labor party spokesman, main
tanned that the duties of the govern
ment were first to safeguard the Brit
ish lives in China, and then, in con-
junction with the other interested i'm
perialist powers, to establish COM
mission Of inquiry to investigate the
causes of the uprising. In other
words the leaders of the labor party
endorsed the aggressive policy Of
Britain in China and pleaded for a
more scientific and less brutal form Of
exploiting. Chamberlain himself can
wish for nothing more.
Hence we see that in actual prac-
tice the policy of the labor party is
purely imperialist. 1t is but short
step from where 1t now stands to
openly supporting an aggressive pol
icy against the u. s. s. r.
Putting a Leading Question.
These facts present the Communist
Party and the Minority Movement
with their most important task.
To the left wing in the trade unions
we must say: Are you supporting in

purpose of solidifying the proletarian

they have already arisen-over details
of reorganization and the role of the
party during the reorganization
period. In the press there must be
the fullest discussion of these prob
lems-but not in the spirit of separat-
ing these problems from the revolu-
tionary tasks of the party as the ad-
vance guard of the whole working
class. Our press must urge and the
membership must respond with arti-
cles giving the detailed experiences
encountered in this stage Of our de-
velOpment always in the light of ad-
justing our party as rapidly as pos
sible to the tasks which it must
carry out.

OUR party press has an all-import-
ant part to play in the reorganiza-
ton work now being undertaken in
accord with the shop nucleus basis
laid down for all parties by the Com
intern and the attention which it
must devote to all problems arising
out of the change from the territorial
to an industrial base should be con-
sidered not passing and temporary
phase of development but stage in
its Bolshevization.
Fundamental changes will take
place in our press as a result of the
change in the base of or party. The
Communist press is the voice Of the
party and of the most conscious Sec
ton of the working class. II has to
give the party the lead in the tasks
of reorganization and at the same
time carry without cessation to the
masses the Communist program COW
ering every form of working class ac-
tivity in the struggles against capital
ism. That this places a heavy burden
upon our press can be understood
when we realize the difficulty it has
already encountered in its double task
of speaking officially to the party
membership and at the same time
acting as an agitational organ in the
mass movement.
GOULD we drop our mass campaigns
~ for six months or a year and con-
centrate on the work of party reor-
ganization we would have formal
solution of the problem which would
delight the right wing elements in our
party. But the party that would
emerge from this clustered period
would not be a Communist party nor
would shop nucleus organization
achieved in such manner be any
thing but lip-service to the theory of
Bolshevization-a change in party
structure secured mechanically, ster-
lie and meaningless.

One of the outstanding features Of
the British working class movement,
which is only now being rapidly liqui-
dated, is its exceptionally nationalist
outlook. It is true that both In the
political and economic spheres British
labor long before the war participated
in international labor conferences. II
did so, however, always with some re-
serve, always with the feeling that we
were different, higher, more advanced.
The role of British imperialism in
world politics goes long way towards
except for occasional crises, the en-
pire was able to carry on its ramifica-
tions with little serious interrupt
tions. Thru the medium of intensive
colonial exploitation. the home en-
ployers were able to reduce the dis
content of the British workers to a
minimum. The labor movement both
amongst the masses and in leading cir
cles accommodated itself to this con-
venient arrangement. With the ex-
ception of the most radical sections
British labor was unmindful of the
conditions that prevailed on the con-
tinent, in the colonies, or elsewhere so
long as fairly tolerable conditions
could be ATTAINED at home.
U. S. EnsIaved Europe.
The postwar situation is entirely
different. America has emerged as
the supreme imperialistic power! She
has adopted Canada, enslaved Eu-
rope, and is now casting covetous
eyes at another cherished British do
minion--Australia
Britain on the other hand, has
been forced to turn more than ever to
her colonies and inundated territor-
les. Egypt. India, Mesopotamia, and
now China have all felt the extra pres
sure Of British Imperialism resulting
from the American conquest.
But there is still a greater menace.
The new Russia represents not only
a boundary beyond which the from
tiers of the British empire cannot ex-
tend, in addition, she is looked upon
as a positive danger to the empire as
II stands.

class in view Of all these events was
a far-seeing one. Not only did she
take part In the general attack on
Soviet Russia, but even when it was
deemed advisable to cease open hos
tilities and when Russia was still en-
gagged in deadly conflict with the
whites" Britain established herself
firmly in Mesopotamia. Persia, and the
Baltic states.
BritaiH's Real Policy.
For quite time thereafter the real
attitude of British Imperialism towards
Soviet Russia has been apparent.
Thru the trade agreement and later
thru the activities Of the labor gov
eminent it was fairly obvious that
Britain was prepared, at least, to toll
crate the existence of the U. S. S. r.
and it is only now that the real policy
again shows itself.
Among the real representatives of
British imperialism there is no confus-
ion. Their aim is not only to safe
guard the colonies, but is directed
against the very existence Of the
workers republic. Thru gross misrep-
resentation and acts Of provocation
the support for Russia in Britain is
reduced to a minimum and border
hostiIities" maintained at highest
pitch.
On the other hand we see assembled
the supposed friends" Of Soviet Rus
STA. This group which includes within
1t wide circle varying from promi-
nent conservatives to supposed left
wing trade union leaders aim at a
more friendly attitude towards So
Wet Russia; closer relations and a
trading agreement. Fundamentally
these two groups are in complete
agreement. The die hards" quite
openly recognize and declare their
hostility to Russia, and see in her
overthrow the sterilization of the en-
pire.
The Reason for Sympathy.
The sympathetic" groups imagine
they see in Soviet Russia, a means Of
temporarily dealing with the serious
economic situation in Britain, reviving
British industry and simultaneously
stabilizing the empire and liquidating
all the dangerous tendencies at home.
This idea is clearly portrayed in the

struggle, or are you sheltering behind
a popular slogan to hide your imperi-
alist intentions? To the left wing in
the labor party we must say: Are you
for the empire or for the masses it
subjects and exploits? Only by this
means can we have a clear estima-
ton Of our forces. We know where
the masses stand. Under no eircum-
stances will they allow fresh attacks
on Soviet Russia, but thru the treach-
cry of its chosen leaders the British
working class may find itself tacitly
supporting war against Russia, en-
gagged in by the buffer states but en-
gineered and supported by British i'm
perialism.
Consequently our task is clear. In
fighting against the dangers of i'm
perialist onslaughts on Soviet Russia,
we have to insure that mass opinion
finds organized expression, and that
all the imperialist tendencies within
our movement are left behind.
Only then can we feel sure that
Russia is immune from the covetous
hand of British imperialism.

Hot Weather Suggestions.

There is a temptation at this time
of year to use heavy oil in the engine
in the belief that it will run cooler
with an oil that viii not get thin 50
quickly. This Is a good temptation to
resist. because in all probability heavy
oil will overhead your engine. Not
enough oil will get up to the cylinder
walls to keep them cool. The best
plan is to use medium heavy oil, or
whatever lighter grade your engine
uses normally, and then change the
oil more frequently.
If you cannot park in the shade
when stopping along the road to
picnic on a hot day, at least raise the
hood. 1t will help to preserve the
paint. and you will notice the differ
ence in the temperature Of the car
when you get into 1t again.
The engine will start easier in Sum-
mer IL you will back into the private
garage at night instead of going into
il head first. Usually there Is a GER
tain dampness in the garage SO that
if the engine is at the back Of the
building it will draw on this cooler
damper air in starting. Turned in
the opposite direction, however, it has
the advantage of drawing upon the
hot air from the outside which
reaches it the moment the garage
doors are opened.

CARBON DEFIES CLEANERS
Clean Combustion Will Help Solve
This Problem.

Air cleaners will not solve the car
bon question. Carbon is a question of
clean combustion. A cylinder that is
not getting a proper mixture is like
a. lamp that is smoking. 1t will leave
a heavy carbon deposit. 1t is like the
ashes in the furnace; the better the
coal burns, the less ashes there will
be. There are, however, fuel "dopes"
which assist in the burning of fuel
and which also loosen up carbon de-
posits alaready formed so that they
will be expelled through the exhaust.

DIRTY BREAKER POINTS.
Two Gests Sure to Tell Source o
Trouble.

Tilere are two rather sure tests for
dirty breaker points. The nrst Is the
uneven running of the car at low
speeds in high gear. The second is
Increased difficulty in cranking. Either
test alone may indicate a different
source of trouble, but together they
constitute a very effective means OF
telling when the points need dressing.
In the type of ignition using breaker
points a spark for combustion pur-
poses is induced when contacts are
broken. If the contacts are in well
at the start, the spark will be either
weak or missing altogether. A per
feet spark is necessary for quick
start as we'll as for smooth running at
