And in lesser roles are seen Shir-

Thus "The. Talker," from it's cast

screen entertainment.
The story is from the stage hit OF
the same title, and while it unfolds
a rapid succession of tense love scenes

homework and likes to talk.
She is one of those ultra m oderr

the talking wife, and Stone in the
role of the silent, or rather silencec

the most vital parts of the thesis. Or

words, they SHOULD be farmers. We
would not, if sane, in our party work

former mistake of publishing dry

The Buffalo vote was 81 for the
majority and 81 for the minority. Of
the 81 votes cast for the majority
there were approximately 62 Finnish
votes. Some of these Finnish COM
rades who voted for the majority
praised the speech of Comrade Eng
dahl, but asked why they have voted
for the majority stated that they did
not dare to oppose the instructions of
their federain contained in Comrade
Burman's letter which was send to
every Finnish branch.
1t was surprising to note that in
spite of the fact that the majority
claim to represent the trade union
element in the party, that the most
active members in the local trade
unions and the Central Labor Council
have supported the minority. Comrade

"The conference was marked thruout

Just word for the majority thesis.
Have been so busy, in California,
helping in an organizational way, to
create a united front" of workers on
the problem of unemployment. which
is assuming huge proportions here,
that l have only now free moment
to state few practical reasons fol
supporting the majority thesis.
1. There is no national farmer-la
bor party in America, therefore, we
cannot back it up" or "permeate"
something that does not exist.
2. We are creating a Communist
Party, and should not confuse our eff
forts by also creating" a farmer-la-
Dor party.
3. The slogan For a Workers and
Farmers Government" used by our
party everywhere during our cam
paigns, and in our educational work,
attracted the farmers and workers and
also emphasized the fundamental prin-
ciples of a united front class party of
farmers and workers.
When the farmer-labor party, so.
cialist party, etc., deserted a class
party at Cleveland, it happened that
was serving as state secretary of
the united front"-independ labor
party of Colorado. This party had
called state convention to nominate
state candidates and had endorsed
Macdonald and Buck When. the
news came of the endorsement Of La.
Toilette, and the action of the Work
ers Party in nominating Foster and
Gitlow, a special "called" meeting was
held, the matter fairly put before the
membership, and an unqualified en-.
dorsement was given the national
Workers Party candidates. Two weeks
later the entire socialist party with
but one exception Joined the Work
ers Party; and later, all but two of
the members of other organizations
joined the Workers Party. A full
ticket for governor, U. S. senator, two
seats in congress and members OF
state senate legislature, was filed and
vigorous campaign was carried on,
under the slogans Vote Communist
and For a Workers and Farmers
Government"

II this is Leninism, then what are
Peppers declarations? The generous
reader may try and excuse him on the
ground that even a feminist may
sometimes be mistaken. This is true.
But John Pepper was too often mis-
taken, he was too deeply mistaken
and he never acknowledged mistakes
which is again contrary to true Len.
inism. The above article, 'Facing the
Third American Revolution which ir
America appeared in September, and
was written in August, 1928. was in
its main parts reprinted by Pepper in
the Moscow "Pravda" at the time
when the Fifth Congress Of the c. l.
was in session, that is to say, in June,
1924, ten months after its first appear.

Pepper still saw the imminent revolu-
ton which he saw in the summer Of
1923. Nothing had changed for Pep.
per, only this, that to the general an.
alysis of American socio political life
he added in the "Pravda" the follow
ing paragraph:
"And last but not least, for the
first time In the history Of the
United States there appears on the
scene a Communist Party, which
has its roots In the masses and is
not sect, A MASS COMMUNIST
PARTY OF THE WORKING
CLASS"
He did not know we had already a
mass Communist Party. He must be
grateful to John Pepper for discover
ing it.
But while all these statements, only
show how MARKHAM analysis should
not be made, the last one throws a
strange light on the slogan Of "class
farmer-labor party" appearing in the
minority thesis. If our goal Of a mass
Communist Party has already been
achieved, why not utilize part Of our
spare energy to build new "class
farmer-labor party?"

c. E. c. Majority Loses Political
Vision.
The majority fails to understand
the basis of its own reaction to the
farmer-labor party and hence expects
the workers and farmers to react with
it. But a short while ago, the ma,
jority favored farmer-labor party
Why? Because such a party offered
a rallying point for numerous ele.
ments whom we are trying to reach.
Suddenly the reacting mentality OF
the majority, pictures those elements
as having been revolutionized over,
night, and are now ready to come in
to the Workers Party direct. You OF
the majority say to us to urge the
workers to join our party. Very fine!
Nothing against that. But can't you
see that there is nothing to prevent
us from urging and taking in to our
ranks those workers who are ready
to come in, even under the farmer
labor slogan? Under your proposal
this is where we stop.
In this connection let us not re
main Indifferent to the fact that the
organized workers are but portion
of the working class and that as q
rule during periods of normal employ
ment the labor movement was as 9
rule able to catch up numerically with
it's losses incurred during periods Of
unemployment. Are you not aware
of the fact that the last two periods
of normal employment have failed tc
replace the gaps made in the organ
lied labor movement while unemploy
ment was prevalent?
Do you not realize, that some of our
attention must be given to the unor
gained? Well, you will say the
shop nuclei will serve as a point Of
contact with the unorganized. We
reply that you know, and we know
that it would take some years before
an effective shop nuclei system is de
