Gold Replies to Hapgood.

reply to Comrade Powers Hapgood
may | say I am really sorry seemed
too harsh, "Spiteful' and "vindica-
tive" | am not that way by nature
and do not admire anyone else who
is. | dislike personal attacks, and
have always disapproved of a great
deal of the turgid, undisciplined and
venomous attacks which are too often
found in The DAILY WORKER and
which never serve any good purpose,
Communist or otherwise.
Ny fault, as see it, was in being
too impulsive. | let my feelings go in
a matter which should be conducted as
an impersonal fight on the general
tactics and policy of the Boston Sac
coVanzetti Committee. 1t has great
deal to answer for, believe. Most
of the people who went to Boston to
help the fight during the past three
weeks felt that way, also. They were
not Communists, either there were
anarchists, liberals and even socialists
who found themselves confronted by
the suspicion, narrow jealousy and
provincialism of the Boston commit
tee. 1t is story that may yet have
to be told by som7one
l hope it will be told by some anar-
chist, however, and not by a Com
munist, so that no one can say the
tragic case of Sacco and Vanzetti has
been made into a factional struggle.
| krow the Workers Party comrades,
though insulted and provoked. have
always splendidly tried to maintain
the united front, and have never ceased
working for Sacco and Vanzetti. It
was about a month ago that the Com
mittee issued its first statement call
ing the Workers Party 'lot of
ghouls," and nothing less than
thieves. But the party comrades did
not mind this insult made thru the
capitalist press, and made no person
al answer, but went on fighting for
the bigger thing-which was to free

right procedure, and ! am therefore
