ever. that the vast majority of Amer
lean manufacturers rose to the sltua-

bring the following commentator
from Woodrow Wilson: "They turned
aside from every private interest OF
their own and devoted the whole OF
their trained capacity to the tasks

they say, IF You show 1t can be done

that It be done In peace time. IT
cannot be done in peace time. There
can be no great undertaking without

the moving cause is personal initiative

rejecting the Communist plans, the To-
cal committees found themselves
forced to reconsider, and call back the
Communists, because their proposals
were the most practical. Finally, the
Communist criticism of the misleader-

being taken up in circles far wider
than the Party, and the masses see
clearly that the Communist Party, far

charged by the right wing, contains

The Cleavage Within the Labor Party,
the Unions, and the General Council.
DOR a week after the betrayal of the
4 the British general Strike Mr..
Thomas and his friends had their way
with the General Council. The so.
called left wing appeared to be para
lyzed, without intelligence, energy, or
initiative. Then resulting catastro-
phis situation has shocked the entire
labor movement.
A terrific reaction has set in, at first
among the rank and file, and quickly
rejecting itself among the leaders. II
is yet too soon TO prophesy exactly the
lines along which this will develop.
Important facts may, however, already
be registered.
First, beginning with the extreme
left, the Communist Party has been
incidentally strengthened. The most
vicious government persecution has
been directed against II and its mem
bers. At such q moment as this, in.
evitably this creates a bond Of SYM
pathy between the Communist Party
and the masses. This has been inten.
sifiod by the very active part played
by the Communists in every strike
district; they have been present on

OUR COLONIAL FATHERS.
BY ALEXANDER BITTELMAN.

Judging by its everyday workings,
the constitution and government of
the United States is an excellent in
strument in the hands of the capital
lists to rob and exploit the toiling
masses. Between themselves the
colonial fathers were struggling Bit
terly. Some Of them were striving to
secure the maximum of influence in
the government for the rising capital
list class. Others were fighting des-
perately to establish domination in the
government for the landlords and the
old aristocracy. But all of them were
unalterably opposed to granting polit-
ical rights and any kind of influence
in the government to the workers, to
the artisans and to the poor farmer.
The colonial fathers have deserved
the eternal gratitude of every capital
LIST, of every exploiter and enemy of
the toiling masses of the United
States. But what shall the workers
and poor farmers be grateful for to
"our" colonial fathers?
The Fathers Were Experts In "Pollt-
leaI" Methods.
And as to so-called corrupt methods
in politics, the fathers were experts
also in that. History relates a great
many facts bearing on this subject.
There is, for instance, a famous
liquor bill of George Washington dat
ing back to the time when he was
candidate for the Virginia House Of
Burgesses in Frederick county in 1853.
This liquor bill played a substantial
part in the victory Of George Washing
ton in that election.
Professor McMaster is quite positive
in saying that:
A very little study of long forgot
ten politics will suffice to show that
in fllibustering and gerrymandering,
in stealing governorships and legis-
latures, in using force at the polls,
in colonizing and in distributing
patronage to whom patronage is due,
in all the frauds and tricks that go
to make up practical politics Zone
should say, capitalist politics-A. b.
the men who founded our state and
national governments were always
our equals, and often our masters.
In this period of our political his
tory, when the existing capitalist par
ties have become thoroly rotten and
degenerate, it is well to remember that
our colonial fathers, the saints and
supermen of the foundation period of
the American republic, have contrib
uted their share also to the ethics of
present-day capitalist politics.

(which put power into the great strike.
The Councils Of Action, the depart
generalization of the strike work, the
control of food supplies, the organiza-
ton of defense corps, the organization
Of couriers and information machinery
all of these we're inspired and car
ried thru by the energy of the minority
movement. The Sunday Worker, or
gan of the minority movement, has be-
come the most influential labor paper
in the country, its circulation growing
by leaps and bounds.
THIRD, within the Labor Party and
l. the General Council the surge OF
sentiment among the rank and file to-
wards the left is exerting pressure
upon the leaders. The shock OF the
surrender Of the general strike is crys-
tallizing a more definite alignment.
The logical result must come, OF a
strong. fighting left wing which will
finally break with Macdonald, Thomas,
Henderson, Clynes and Company, and
definitely set its face towards revolu-
tionary struggle.
AS yet this capitalization is far
from definite; II is still INSTRUCTED by
all sorts OF relics OF reformism, pacif-
ism and timldity. But In spite OF all
this even its first manifestations are
Of great importance.
