The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-04-16

if the American Communist movement is indicated,
the socialist party stands condemned in the eyes of
every honest American worker Hence, his so-called
history.
He is willing to admit that Communism was good
for Russia, but insists that it is not good for Amer-
To which we reply: Yes, we heard that from
liberal capitalists, but don't believe that the
working class should be guided by liberal capitalists
The workers must have their. own theory-a theory
of revolutionary class struggle. They must have
their own party to lead that struggle Leninism is
the theory. Communist Party is the party.
1t is in the light of the above considerations that
the history of American Communism must be
studied and written up in order to be real and
useful history instead of an apology for the oppor-
tunist policies and treachery Of American socialist
party leadership. One must understand that it was
precisely in the struggle against these opportunist
policies of reformist socialism as well as against
reactionary trade unonism and syndicalim that
Communism found its American adoption. One
must recognize that without a merciless indictment
and exposure of the nature and effects of reaction
airy trade unionism and opportunist non-M MARKHAM
socialism, no understanding be gained of the
origin and development of Communism in the
United States.
Communism in the United States, like in many
other capitalist countries, came into existence
primarily as revolt of the militant and class con-
scious workers against betrayal of the working
class by the reformists, opportunsts and reaction
aries in the unions and in the socialist party It
was the extreme degeneracy of the official labor
movement in America, coupled with the general OBJ
jectve situation that responsible for the highly
ult-aeftst nature of left wing developments in the
American labor movement. The explanation of the
unreaistic impractical and sectarian angles in the
early phases of left wing and Communist develop
ment in the United States is to be found precseyn
the treachery of recationary trade unionsts and
and reforniist socialists and not in some mysterious
foreign influences.
WQr a cIo o,,J
an oportunst, petty-bourgeois socialist he would
know that one of the most potent forces for making
American Communism more realistic, more native,
more practical and of greater immediate value to
the American working class precisely the 'for-
eign" influence Of the Communist International.

porters in the American colonies in 1776 But that
did not make it any more alien than did similar
branding" by the Lusk Committee against the Left
Wing Manifesto of 1919.
This babble about foreign influences and alienism
is old as the class struggle in society itself.
Every time movement springs up among the OPP
pressed classes designed to overthrow the domina-
ton of the ruling class the latter meets its OPP
ponents with the charge of being foreign and alien
to the natural spirit and laws" of the country.
But little the British Crown able to stem the
tide of the bourgeois revolution in America in 1776,
by branding it foreign, just little will similar
charges against American Communism be able to
stem the development of the revolutionary working
class movement of today James Oneal and his
history of American Communism, notwithstanding
Is James Oneal familiar in any way with the
history Of MARKHAM thought? It would do him some
good to pick up slight acquaintance with
the subject. Because upon doing he would learn
that also in Russia the attempt to introduce
MARKHAM thought and apply it to the native class
struggle was met with the most determined oppos-
tion not only from the upholders of czarism but
also from people who thought themselves the most
advanced revolutionists of that day. The oppos-
ton countered the oncoming of Marxism into Russia
with nnumerable sets of complete PHILOSOPHERS,
based upon the unique" nature of Russian history,
economics, temperament, psychology, ETC., which
were designed to prove that Marxism and the
modern working class revolutionary movement were
foreign and alien to Russia.
Well, these philosophers dead and for
gotten but Marxism, developed into Leninism in the
period of Imperialism and social revolution, stands
indicated and triumphant The theory of Marxsm-
Leninsm has enabled the revolutionary workers of
Russia to build their Communist Party, to win the
confidence and support of the masses, to establ h
firm alliance with the peasantry, to establish a
workers republic and to proceed to build socialist
economy as step to complete Communist society.
This is the theory that explains inspires and guides
the epoch-maSing revolutionary efforts of the OPP
pressed colonial peoples well as of the revolu-
toifary workers the world
But, Oneal, be does not see this. He sees only
his degenerated, demoralized party-in reality,
petty-bourgeos political club-which must be de-
Tended and indicated at all COST He knows that

many daily papers have been asking
Mr.. Haskin to compile into book
form the wonderfully interesting ma
terial which has passed through his
hands. Recognizing that such a
volume would not only hive high ref
erence value, but would make fasci-
mating reading as cross section of
human curiosity and general knowl-
edge, he has long had this purpose in
mind. but the task of sitting and Sc
lecting, classifying and choosing, has
been too great for earlier accomplish
ment.
A Unique Volume.
This volume is unique in that half
of it was written by five thousand
people making direct queries. and the
other half by one man answering
them. Here is the essence of what
America wants to know. 1t is as
human as humanity itself. 1t IS
running account of what has occurred
in the past. record of what is trans
piring today, and forecast of what
may happen in the future.

|. C. C. EXTENDS TIME
IN OREGON LAND CASE
Trunk Railway to Have Until
April IS to Consider Southern
Pacific Offer.

An extension of time until April Is
for the Oregon Trunk Railway to con-
slider terms proposed by the Southern
Pacific relating to joint use of tracks
in eastern Oregon was granted yester-
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. Originally the Oregon Trunk
was directed to respond by April 3.
The Oregon Trunk. which is owned
by the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific desired to build southwark
from Bend, Greg, to Klamath Falls.
The Southern Pacific, already having
a line in that territory, protested, and
the commission ruled that the Oregon
Trunk should refrain from building.
but should be given joint trackage
rights over the Southern Pacific upon
terms which the commission proposes
to make fair and reasonable.
Negotiations looking to the perfec-
ton of the arrangement contemplated
have been in progress between the
two railroads for several months.

Here Is the Story of the
Most Unusual Work
Ever Published

The asking and answering of ques-
tons is a fundamental method of ac-
curing knowledge. The questions of
children sometimes drive parents to
distraction, but child minds are grow
ing and developing while mature
minds are too often stationary and
dormant. Training students to ask
intelligent questions is the aim of
grade teachers, high school instruc-
tors, and college professors.
The Voice of the World.
Men, women, and children in all
walks of life are newspaper readers.
The printed page is the endless trail
of knowledge. The press is the mir
ror of life in that it is the reflection
of man and all his works. 1t records
his birth. his growth, and his death.
1t cries both his meanness and his
greatness. It's singing wires run
over the land and under the sea, and
now its messages fash through the
air. 1t is the voice of the world.
Asking Questions.
The newspaper articles by the
author of this book gradually devel-
oped large mail from readers ask
ing questions about subjects which
he had discussed. Pleased by the
questions that his writings had in
spired, the author set out to answer
the inquiries which he received. AS
this became known, his mail increased
until he was forced TO obtain funds
from the newspapers which he repre-
scented to pay for the cost of addi-
tional research work.
The Development of the Worlds
LARGEST Information Bureau.
From this procedure was developed
in Washington what is now the
largest information bureau in the
world Its development is an evil
dence of the farsightedness and pub
lie spirit of American newspaper
owners. The willingness of editors
and publishers to give to their readers
an unusual educational service made
possible the Haskin Information
Bureau as it stands today, with its
large staff of experts, housed in its
own new building, answering hum
dreds of thousands of questions each
year, and distributing millions of edu-
cational booklets.
Washington the Seat of Learning.

of the Federal Government are found

Through locating and using these
official sources of information this
institution has grown steadily and
rapidly. 1t has become the focal
point for American curiosity. This
