There is no more ideal condition than
unity on basis of principal but where
there are strong differences of opin-
ion, those differences must be
aster will result. Had the revolution
airy core of the Koumintang Party in
China surrendered to Chiag-Kai-Shek
and his right ring hackers for the
sake Of false unity the problem of
Imperialism in China would be settled
for many years to come.

Aialist sects like the S. P, the s. L. P.
and the p. P. have tickled themselves
into anaemic laughter over political
discussions in the Workers fCommun-
ist) Party. Thos decaying organisms
have not a quarrel left in them. Those
only flog themselves into a semblance
of activity when tsaere is a chance to
win an approving noe from the reac-
tionaries by lambasting the revolu-
tionists. But the Communists, it
should be noted, manage to achieve
unshakeable unity in fighting the
bosses, even tho at the same time they
insist on discussing with varying de-
grees of vigor the tactical problems
that always confront an organization.
THE S. L. P. did not have difference
of opinion as to the best method Of
conducting the class struggle for
several years, for the very good
reason that they have retired to viii
Duraut's metaphysical tower and con-
fine themselves to making wise cracks
at the expense Of the passing show.
Furthermore it is an organization of
superannuated people who have
reached that stage in life When the
follies of youth can be enjoyed in re-
Prospect and a mellowed skepticism Of
the possibility of the human race
even amounting to anything cult
waited to serve the purpose of psy-
Geological crutch. With only another
clean shirt, alias another national
election, between it and limbo, the
S. L. p. can be excused for not vent
uring into heated internal fight over
whether the shirt should be hard
boiled or soft.
THE Socialist Party was never keen
a on struggles over questions Of pol
icy. 1t was a hospitable drug store
where anybody who had the price
could get any kind of medicine he
wanted. Those who did not use some
discretion were carried out feet fore
most into some one Of the capitalist
parties. 1t was a nice quiet place To
rest and enjoy game Of Dinochle.
The only time some sort of political
museum is when a hardy wight like
Nathan Fine suggests that it liqui-
dated itself and join his organization.
Nathan manages to be two conflict
ing things at the same time and get
away with it. He is member of the
socialist party and political party
by himself with a name can't recoll-
ect, and quite popular in both parties.
NO, after all, a scrap now and then is
Hnot the fatal thing some people are
led to believe. II is at least sigh Of
vitality. Some people take their fight
ing with more relish than others. It
is largely matter of thyroid glands.
But political intelligence and other
varieties of sense are supposed to be
located between the ears and people
whose heads are not supporting hats
under false pretences will continue
TO struggle for what they believe is
the best way Of doing things and
while they may have as many diff
ferTent motives as they have points
Of view, the fact remains that human
progress, in so far as it is determined
by individuals, car be attributed to
this human desire to feed the ego. So
let us have bigger and better fights
in China but according to Hoyle.
