crimes and every hour that passes
makes it more hated by the broad
masses of the toilers. The masses
will understand that under the pres
ent circumstances the question of the
seizure Of power arises.
Workers. Government.
For this reason the question Of n
workers government in Great Britai
is becoming ever more urgent. Thl
slogan of a workers government
which has previously been issued by
the Communists in such countries as
France, Germany, Czecho- -Slovakia and
Italy, must now be raised with re-
doubled energy in Great Britain. Ma
turally it must not be merely an ap
parent workers government, some bad
substitute of a workers government,
but a real workers government cap
able of undertaking to carry out the
demands of the workers, to carry thru
the naturalization of the collieries, to
carry out the present demands of the
strikers, to give the unemployed work.
Quicker Tempo.
| No matter how the movement ends,
the Bolshevization of the proletarian
advance guard which means the vic
tory of the ideas of Lenin inside this
proletarian advance guard will pro-
ceed at a quicker pace than before.
The class conscious proletariat of the
whole world looks with wonder at the
| tremendous organizational force which
| the general strike has shown. The
British trade union movement has now
! the opportunity to pay back its de-
cade long debts to the working class.
All backwardness, bureaucracy and
craft prejudices will disappear in the
fire of the class struggle. The strug-
gle of the British workers has brot
the whole of the western European
proletariat into movement.
The strike opens up a new period
4 in the working class movement. The
strike places the movement of the
British proletarian for its emancipa-
tion in the center of the interest of
the workers of the world There is no
doubt that such powerful movement
will lead to the creation of new forms
of working class organization spring
ing from the depth of the proletarian
masses. The advanced Communist
workers will use all their forces to as
sist these new organizational forms to
/ take their rightful Mace
Preserve Unity.
Wherever. you have the opportunity
to address the British working class,
inform them of the feelings and the
wonder of the Communist Interna-
tional for their struggle. Call upon
them to stand fast in their struggle,
demand that they counter the machin-
ations of the right leaders who have
undertaken to assist" the strike lead
ership. Naturally the Communists
must do everything in their power to
preserve the unity of the workers
strike leadership. The unity of the
leadership of the struggle is the most
important guarantee of victory. You
/ must understand that section of the
right wing leaders are preparing to
split the leadership and betray the
movement. The attempts of Mac
Donald and Henderson to negotiate
with Churchill behind the back of the
General Council throw light on the
real nature of such leaders.
A Warning.
and his friends are working for
repetition on much greater scale
of the treachery committed by them
on BLACK Friday" in 1921. Lord
spare us from such friends, we will
deal with our enemies ourselves"
The British workers must never for
get this quotation. 1t is the task of
the Communists to warn the workers
against these gentlemen. Our task Is
to tell the British workers that a
fThomas inside the workers camp is
more dangerous than the whole strike
breaking organization of Baldwin.
Long live the British proletariatl"
This cry comes from the heart of mil
lions Of workers in all countries. An
important page in the book of modern
history has been opened in Great Bri-
tain. We are firmly convinced that
the British party will prove itself big
enough to cope with events, that 1t
will succeed in winning its rightful
place amongst the masses and in
spreading the ideas of Lenin in the
workers quarters and in the hearts
of millions of workers"
