AntI-ImperIaIIst Drive.
THE world court, as an instrument
4 of Imperialism and war, offers op-
portunities for the broadcast mass
work. It is seldom that one issue is
so openly imperialistic as to contain
menacing threats to all elements in
society with the exception of the small
upper strata Of great capitalists.
The spokesman of the opposition
to the world court in congress-the
Borahs, the Reeds, the Bleases, the
LaFollettes and Shipsteads, are in
capable, because of their political
training and their subserviepcy to the
middle bourgeoisie, of rising above
the monotonous and senseless repeti-
ton of shibboleths of a by-gone day.
They bark back to the isolationist pol
icies Of Washington and Jefferson
when manufacture had not yet given
way to the beginnings of modern In
uustry, ana when capitalism was still
in tbs infancy--in a futile and gro
tesque effort to rescue from the dead
past policy for the living present.
This bankruptcy of the outstand-
ing opposition to the world court con-
spiracy leaves the path open forsour
party to play the dominant role in
mobilizing the masses for great
anti-imperialist crusade. With deter
mined beginning in this campaign we
can reach with our message millions
of workers and other elements affect
ed by the imperialist campaigns of the
government-who now only know us
thru the designed distortions of the
capitalist press-and by leading this
struggle go far on the road toward
becoming mass party and power
in American political life.

denced by the assaults upon and
threats to dissolve the federal trade
board and the commerce commission
furnish exceptional opportunities to
appeal to the small bourgeoisie that
keenly feels the weight of this op-
preston. Not the least Of our tasks
with this element of the population
will be the exposure of the hopeless
ness of the program of the Borah
bloc and its total incapacity to deal
with the situation. In the actual cam
paign we can show to these elements
the picture of their own future in the
ranks of the proletariat and win the
support of many of them.

But are they fighting with the enthusi-

from yesterday

WE have seen that the British trade
W union movement has made one
step forward, the German two steps
backwards and the French, owing to
the balance of power between the
unity and reformist trade unions, only
half step forward, as far as unity
is concerned
To gauge correctly the mood which
exists at present in the trade union
movement attention should be directed
to the congress of the Norwegian trade
unions, which was held at the end of
last August. The Norwegian trade I'M
ion movement, just as the entire
Scandinavian trade union movement,
has its peculiarities. 1t did not have
to go thru a war and postwar crisis
and had the benefit of several years
in which to develop normally. From
among the unions in the Amsterdam
International, the Norwegian trade
union movement was the first to take
up left attitude by participating in
the foundation of the r. /. L. u.
The Norwegian trade unions always
kept up connection with the r. l.
L. u. altho they were affiliated to the
Amsterdam international. In 1923, the
Norwegian Trade Union Federation
decided to leave the Amsterdam In
ternational, but stopped halfway
postponing the question Of affiliation
to the Il. I. L. U. for an indefinite peri
cd. And thus it remains up till now

ness on the part Of the organized
workers. This will serve to place
part of our program before the mass
es and at the same time will be a
blow at the traitorous Gompers' pol
icy of no politics in the union by
proving that in its last analysis the
slogan of no politics means capitalist
politics in the form of "rewarding
friends and furnishing enemies"
Into the Shops.
Thru our new form of organization,
the shop nuclei we can bring the dis
cussion into the shops, mills, mines,
the railroads, by developing ordinary
discussions regarding the everyday
affairs of the workers into the desired
channels, thereby engaging In mass
political education.
This most important and fundamen-
tai work presupposes intensive educa-
ton of our own membership so that
each party member will be familiar
with the broader aspects of the ques-
tions involved in this country's adj
herence to the world court and be
able to carry the discussion into in
dustries among the great masses of
workers, organized and unorganized.
Such work is real mass education and
it will enable us to sink our roots deep
into the masses of labor and become
their leaders in thought and in action.
The necessity for preparing our own
membership for such work is fully
recognized by the agitation and pro-
paganda department of our Party and
intensive training of our membership
in these tasks is progressing rapidly.
Anti-Militarist Agitation.
Combined with the work in the
unions and factories we must also
take advantage of this imperialist ven
ture into the world court by launch
ing anti-militarist agitation on a
broad scale. In this work we must
rip the imperialist masks from the
faces Of the pacifists in the service
of imperialism who acclaim the world
court an instrument of peace. By ex-
posing them we expose the mailed fist
of the agents of the House of Nor
gan writing the death warrants of
millions upon millions of the youth of
this land and of all other lands.
In the schools, the colleges, in train
ing camps; everywhere, the youth
is to be found, by word of mouth and
with millions of leaflets and pam

the full realization of the monstrous
crimes that are in preparation against

trade union movement, in destroying
its own traditions, is also destroying
the conservatism and reactionary pol
icy of Amsterdam.
British Unions Go Left.
The British trade union movement
is moving to the left, not only thanks
to objective conditions, but also owing
to the schematic and systematic work
of the British Communist Party and
minority movement. In Great Britain
an unwavering growth in the influence
of the Communist Party and the revo-
lutionary minority within the British
trade union movement is in progress.
The swing to the left is acquiring an
ever clearer character due to the
steadily increasing efforts on the part
of the Communist elements in the
trade union movement.
In Germany there is quite different
picture. There the influence of the
Communist Party has considerably
weakened during the last year and a
half. The Communist Party in the
trade union movement has been de-
voping backwards.
The influence which it welded in
1928 is on the wane. The last congress
in Breslau was the apotheosis Of re-
dictionary blockheads with an almost
complete absence Of any opposition.
We are thus faced with two types, two
methods of Communist work in the
trade unions. A comparison of these
two methods with the example Of
Great Britain shows us at a glance
how work should be carried on in line
with the decisions of the Comintern.

THE one outstanding issue in the
l. coming congressional elections will
be the question of American adherence
to the permanent court of internation-
al justice. The senate resolution en-
dorsing the participation of this coun-
try in that international tribunal did
not conclude the conflict, but only in
Dictated new phase of the struggle.
The petty bourgeois bloc supporting
Borah has already opened a new bar
rage against the world court senators,
many of whom are up for reelection
this fall But their opposition is
based upon the erroneous assumption
that the United States is weak, in
experienced, gullible government be-
ing entrapped by the Vaccinations of
the malevOlent conspiracies Matched
by the British statesmen. Only Anne
rican statesmen are inexperienced in
the wiles of "old world diplomacy"
The Europeans are Machiavellian So
phists who conspire to lure poor old
Uncle Sam into their clutches. Such
is the dismal picture painted by the
opposition in the senate.
A Challenge to Britain.
LNAR from going into the court at
1 the behest of Great Britain, the
United States entrance is a challenge
to Britain. Added incentive for this
country to take a hand in European
political affairs has existed since the
sixth assembly of the league of ma
tions held in September, 1925, when
Britain gained the upper hand in that
body. From that date onward the
propaganda of Mr.. Box, who handled
the Wall Street slush fund to debauch
everything capable of being corrupt
ed, assumed a more aggressive form.
Locarno, which proved to be not
only an international move against
the Soviet Union, but also move on
the part of British imperialism against
its great rival, the United States, brot
the question to a head. While join
ing in the general clamor hailing Lo'
carno as the dawn of world peace, the
Wall Street bankers did not permit
themselves to succumb to their own
propaganda of pacifism. They under
stood the full import of Locarno, and
left no stone unturned 10 force the is
sue of this country's adherence to the
world court in order to use that poll
tical weapon as means of defending
their economic interests.
In the affair of Mosul, where Bri-
tain used the court to create a legal
cloak for the league of nations to
steal that valuable oil region from the
Angora government, the true role of
the court was revealed. Its decisions
are relied upon to direct international
policy. Advisory opinions" provided
for in the covenant of the league give
the court unlimited powers; with the
nations affiliated with the league
granted full authority to enforce the
decisions by military might.
wall Street forced the United
States government into the world
court because it desires to wrest con-
