perialism is there any mention Of the
labor moVement-the 10000 organ
lied Filipino workers-or to the peas
ant organizations, of which there are
a number in the islands?
1t is quite evidently a purely par
liamentary struggle that the present
leaders of the independence movement
have in mind and one in which the
working masses win be represented
only thru middle-class political par
ties. O.
THIS is a fundamental mistake and
l. 1t spells failure for freedom of the
islands unless it is corrected. The
present leadership is being tested.
Much depends upon its decision as to
what forces it must base itself on.
The Philippine leadership should
study the Chineset national liberation
movement. 1t will find that the mill
fancy and vitality of the Chinese
movement springs from the fact that
it is based upon the labor movement
first, and, second, upon an alliance
between the workers and the peas
antry. The honest intellectuals of
China, students particularly, have be-
come organizers of the trade unions
and peasant associations. The Chi
nese labor movement is now the
leader of the struggle for national
liberation as well as it's principal or
ganizing force with the peasantry
giving it mass character.
THE Philippine trade union move
4 ment in proportion to total popu
Iation is immensely stronger than was
the Chinese trade union movement
when the Hongkong transport work
ers' strike marked the beginning of
the rise of the labor movement to the
leadership of the national liberation
struggle. One hundred and fifty thou
sand organized workers in a popula-
ton of some 100000 can exert an
immense influence in shaping the
course of the struggle.
THERE are signs that the labor
movement and the labor press are
already considerably in advance Of
the. purely nationalist movement. The
annual convention of the Philippine
Federation of Labor on May adopt

ment for new leadership.
TT is exceedingly painful to note that
L even some of the revolutionary
workers have been confused by the
new maneuvers of reaction. This is
the more unfortunate since the minor
ity movement and the Communist
Party made such a brilliant record,
before and during the strike, and gave
the working masses such a clear, mill
tant leadership. All the more neces-
sary it is, then, for US to say clearly
that the tendency observable among
the revolutionary workers to silence
their criticism of the general council
leaders (both right and "left') at this
moment is the most dangerous thing
for the whole movement that could
happen.
When the Glasgow Worker, organ of
the minority movement issued the slo-
gan on June 25 of Action first, criti-
cism afterward," it was effectively
falling into the same trap into which
Cook FELL and thus failing effectively
to expose and block this huge treason,
this monstrous strategy of all the
forces of the British bourgeoisie di-
rected against the miners, and thru
the miners against the whole working
class.
THRU the whole experience of the
L British working class since the
last days of April, the bright yellow
thread of bankrupt reformism is In
tertwined; this thread choked the
magnificent general strike; and now,
after it had been so splendidly cast off
by the miners in their brilliant strug-
gle, it is again about their necks.
The first duty of revolutionists
everywhere is to cry warning to the
miners and to call for action and
struggle which will break thru this
ring of governmental forces and re-
formist treachery Such action re-
quires criticism. constant and contin.
uous criticism, of all the misleaders
OF the British workers. Only thus can
the new .hours-law be defeated, to-
