"Back to Palestine" Means

LONDON, England.-A committee
just returned from Palestine informs
us that the British high commissioner,
Lord Plumer, alarmed at the rapid
strides being made by Communism in
Palestine, has taken further steps in
order to attempt to stem its progress.
Daily arrests are being made of all
workers suspected of being connected
with, or in any way assisting the
spread of, Communism.
Even young boys and girls have
been arrested on suspicion of being
connected with the Young Communist
League of Palestine, and are being
brutally logged by the police in order
to force confessions which would lead
to the betrayal of their comrades.
In this beastly work the police have

The speaker then argued against
Domsky and declared that the policy
of the Domsky central committee in
the West Ukraine was an adventure
for it concentrated all its forces upon
the boycott. It is not true that the
Communist Party of West Ukraine is
separatist, it only fights against the
ultra-left errors of the Domsky central
committee. Domsky pursued an op-
portunist policy in West White Rus
STA by placing the demand for auton-
omy in the foreground instead of put
ting forward the demand for the right
of self-determination even to the point
Of a breakaway. Naturally, in the
sterilization period we must utilize
partial demands also in the national
question, but the slogan Of autonomy
is the slogan of the P. P. S. (Polish
Socialist Party and cannot replace
the slogan of self-determination.
A FTER Skrypnik Com. Leschtuhin-
"A sky declared that the slogan of
self-determination up to the point of
break-away was and would remain
the policy of the Polish party in the
national political question. The slogan
Of autonomy was only partial de-
mand, was only a part of the united
front tactic. The support of the move
ment for autonomy would show that
autonomy was only possible through
tho ovarfhrouy Of tho tarro 1ou5o-..
ers. The serious situation described
by Zinoviev put a number of tasks and
demanded a clear tactical policy. The
Domsky group clouded these tasks
and carried on a policy of double
bookkeeping. 1t policy led to an isola-
ton from the masses, which the
speaker proved with various ex-
amples. If the Domsky leadership had
actually achieved some positive sue
cesses, that was due not to its
ultra-left policy, but in spite of it and
in consequence of the healthy under
standing of the masses. Just as in
Germany, the chief danger in Poland
comes from the ultra-lefts, but the
opportunist right dangers will also
not be forgotten. These dangers have
many points of contact with the let's
and have been strengthened by the
fact that the party leadership only
struggled against them in a mechanic
al and non-Leninist fashion. Domsky
had declared that the publication of

the speaker on the other hand de-
clared that the Polish delegation was
in agreement with the political line of
the Valetzky article with the excep-
ton of the part upon the estimation

the Polish party made for the internal

Christescu is anti-Bolshevist in the

policy of the fifth world congress in

caused the party great damage. Op

other reasons the reason for this is
that the Roumanian party is young
and that it has had to work illegally

THE PICKET LINE
TO EAST PATERSON
BY ANTONIO ANNAzoNE.
young Textile Striker.l

Just few lines about the picket
inc which went to East Paterson.
In all the papers of Passaic and
New York there was the report that
the East Paterson police were to shoot
to kill all the strikers who were going
to march from Lodi, Passaic, Clifton,
and Garfield to East Paterson.
The strikers read in the newspapers
about the thing that was going to hap
pen at East Paterson, so the strikers
called the bluff about the newspapers
saying.
Monday morning, about 1000 stril1-
ers were picketing on the East Pater-
son plant which is the National silk
Dying Co. and all was we'll when three
girls of the National Dying company
were fred for telling the people Of the
plan to. come out on strike, for more
money. When the three girls were
fred about 400 workers Of the Nation
al silk Dying Co. came out and joined
the picket line.
SO fellow workers, that shows you
this was another victory for the
Passaic strikers who have been out on
strike for the last eight weeks and
will stick till they win and also or
ganize one big textile union in the

Declaration of independence. Most of
the printing does not bear the label.
Much of the work in the erection of
buildings and of various other needs
of the exposition are being done by
non-union and by scab labor.
Local unions are urged to write to
the committee in charge of the exposi-
ton demanding that all work be done
by union workers and that the COM
mittee set aside a Palace of the
Workers, where every workers and
farmers organization that wants to
participate in the exposition can do
so.
The Workers (Communist) Party
realizing that the open shop employ
ers in this country are determined TO
make this exposition an open shop,

against this attempt and to insist that
all work be done by union workers.

had been made against his line. He
declared that he did not speak person
ally but in the name of the minority
in the Italian Communist Party. AS
Italy has a great amount of emigra-
ton there are supporters of Bordiga
almost everywhere. Bukharin contends
that my attitude against the nuclei
as the organizational basis of the
party is opportunism, the central COM
mittee of the Italian party contends
that the nuclei represent the connec-
ton with the masses. We must have
connection with the masses, but to
run after the masses at any price
would be Menshevism. We must win
the masses, but in revolutionary
way. Bukharin simplified my ideas
to such an extent thatI was not able
to recognize them again myself 1t is
not correct to say that only criticize
the organizational form ,of the Comm
tern. l criticize also its theory and
its politics. With regard to the carry
ing over of Russian experiences to
Western Europe, / am of the opinion
that the existence of strong state ap-
paratus and a powerful social-demo-
cracy makes the united front tactic
impossible.
We can only defeat a strong enemy
thru the direct revolutionary mobiliza-
ton of the masses. In accordance with
this we must conducts the necessary
policy for mobilizing the masses for
storm attack. 1t is wrong to declare
that have no belief in the revolution
airy force of the Masses Exactly the
contrary is the case, and this is proved
by my policy which is based upon the
revolutionary force of the masses and
not upon maneuver. recognize the
necessity for an objective analysis Of
the situation, but the central commit
tee made a wrong analysis. In Sep
TENDER 1925 the central committee
was of the opinion that fascism was
already defeated and that Mussolini
was preparing to hand over the power
to the opposition thru parliamentary
channels. After this democratic era
was to follow. The analysis was false
and for this reason the policy Of the
central committee was also false.
Fascism can only be defeated in the
struggle. 0r
The speaker was not in agreement
with the policy Of the French party
and criticized the letter of the execu-
tive committee of the Communist in
ternational because of its incorrect
tactic and because it lowered the lead

PATRIOTISM IN THE SCHOOLS.

BY Student Correspondent.
TN all the schools thruout the United
4 States of America the week of Feb
ruary IL to % was proclaimed as the
Patriotic Week" The teachers and
principals of the elementary schools,
high schools and colleges were sup
posed to explain and instill patriotic
dope into the minds of the students,
who are usually pulled along by the
most reactionary groups in the
schools, whose predominant idea is
love for "our country, our own coun-
try"
The school attend (the Harlem
Evening High School for Mem was
no exception to the above facts; con-
seQuently on Wednesday, February II,

thousand, were called to attend an

sented by the leading group of that
school, made up of the head teacher
and the principal
l think it is proper to mention here
that there is a big percentage of Negro
pupils in this school. 1t was for this
reason that the head of the history
department started his speech by re-
citing the noble deeds of Abraham
Lincoln, particularly how he rescued
the Negro workers from slavery; that
if it were not for Abraham Lincoln
the Negroes would still be slaves, etc.
He continued in the same strain about
George Washington. What a great
man he was! What a great president!
Then the speakers went down the
line with all the dead" heroes.
| can only tell you a little here of
what the board of education does to
further our love to this ($) country.
Surely it pays them to speak to the
students in such manner. 1t pays
them much more than it would to tell
them the true stories of all the his
toric events they spoke of.
! think this will serve to give the
readers of the Young Workers Col
umn an idea of what is considered
part of our study courses in the
schools today. Morgan's patriotism
handed out as educated!
