Letters From Ouy Readers

sanity Of the hypocrites who say that
the interests OF capital and labor are
Identical the mental prostitutes who
rave about everyone being born free
and with equal opportunity, of the
sky pilots who sanction the present
system and say that such is the will
of the Almighty, the yellow labor
leaders who imagine they can carry
water on both shoulders by trying to
serve the masters and at the same
time the workers and all the other
flunkeys and lickspittles of the
master class.
No doubt the capitalists and their
government will resort to newer and
more drastic measures from time to
time in their campaign of silencing
Labor's voice, but they will as labor
will finally triumph.

spite the fact that the antagonisms of
America and England today in the
international field play the role of
the antagonisms between German and
English Imperialism before the war,
yet the key to the international situa-
ton today is to be found in the
danger of united front of the i'm
perialist powers against the Soviet
Union and the Chinese revolution.
In speaking of the role of Ameri-
can imperialism, we must not over
look the increasing export of Ameri-
can capital and its effect on the
standard of living of our working
class. When American imperialism
exports capital to China, to Italy, In
dia, or to any country which is less
developed industrially, it is in a posi-
ton to dominate the industries of
those countries and to manufacture
there commodities at lower cost, at
lower wages than in America. This
very prowess of American Imperialism
which temporarily allows the bour-
geoisie to have such superprofits as to
give away a few crumbs to the labor
aristocracy, this feature has a con-
Trajectory element in it. This con-
Trajectory element is the danger of
lowering the standard of living of
the great masses of American work
ers, because of the very increase in
the export of capital
Take the textile industry in the
North and South in the United States
The textile owners in the North
are moving South where they can
get production at lower costs. The
reduction of the standard Of living
and the standard of wages of the
working class or of any section of the
working class is always determined
not by the highest but by the lowest
point of wages which the bourgoisio
can force the workers to accept.
Thus if the American capitalists, thru
their export Of capital to lesser in
dustrially developed countries, will be
able to secure cheaper labor power in
European or Asiatic countries, they
will either reduce their American
working forces or slash the wages of
these working forces at home.
Our tasks at present in this field
are the following: We must not fight
imperialism abstractly. There is no
use of fighting American imperial
ism in general. We must adapt our
tactics to the changing concrete con-
ditions day by day if necessary, al
ways keeping in mind the funda-
mental role, the basic characteristics
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-09-17

OF American imperialism. We must
ADJUST our tactics to the various
changes. This applies to the Chinese
campaign. This applies to our tasks
IN the Anglo-American alliance which
may be formed. This applies to our
need for modelling the masses for
demonstrating against such a possible
alliance. The need for organizing
antl-War campaigns and demonstra-
lions against American imperialism
and British imperialism has been cor
rectly met by our Party only on this
basis.
A The labor party problem. The
central task of our Party today is
Stlll TO develop the working class as
class politically. This means that
the unifying slogan, the one unifying
movement under which we can have
an approach to the workers of Cali
fornla who strike for cent increase
IN wages, or to the Passaic textile
workers who strike for the right to
organize into a union, is in a Labor
Party. We have seen the decrease in
the effectiveness and the slackening
OF the labor party movement first,
because of the objective conditions,
secondly because of the change in the
trend of the composition of the work
ing class.
Let no one belittle the fact that
the Bureaucracy and the labor aristo-
cracy have been corrupted to so large
an extent. This is one of the basic
factors for the weakening of the la
Dor party movement. More and more
the great mass of unorganized, I'M
skilled workers have become dis
couraged because Of the swing to the
right by the labor aristocracy. The
Importance of the status of the or
gained, skilled workers thus becomes
apparent. The immediate outlook for
a labor party is small. The i'm
mediate outlook for united labor
ticket is not good If the economic
recession deepens into depression,
the chances for the development of
mass labor party movement will be
much improved. Everywhere our
labor party campaign must be or
ganizational and not merely agita-
tional.

The Party's Shortcomings, Mistakes and Problems

NOTE: This is the sixth install
ment of the report for the Political
Committee made by Jay Lovestone,

nist) Party held in New York City.

Party's Shortcomings Mistakes and

Now a few words about America s
relations to Europe. Here we must
consider at this moment, primarily
the relations between America and
Great Britain. For some time there
has been substantial collaboration be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States despite increasing antagon-
isms. This has led the superficial
bourgeois observers to advocate an
alliance between England and Ameri-
ca as a guarantor of world peace.
This is an illusion. No alliance be-
tween imperialist powers can be an
alliance for peace, whether it be an
,
France and England, or America and
England. An alliance between Amer
lea and Great Britain today, if it were
real and existed, would not be an al
lance making for peace in the world,
but on the contrary, making for new
world war-because it would be a
war alliance against the Soviet Union
and all oppressed nationalities and
colonial peoples.
What are the basic facts in refer
ence to Anglo-American relations :?
Recent months have been a sharpening
of these relationships. Take the re-
suits of the Geneva Conference.
Against whom does England need this
large navy? Not against Italy. Not
against Germany. Not even against
the Soviet Union. 1t needs a big
navy against the imperialist power
which can have navy as big or big
ger than it's own, the United States.
Against whom does the United States
need big navy? The only imperial
list power against which it can have
real use for and of big navy is the
British imperialist power. The conflict
here is a conflict for the domination Of
the world market today. British i'm
perialism still has greater annual
total trade than American imperial
ism. But British imperialism's trend
is declining, while America is expand
ing and they are bound to clash. They
are clashing.
RESPITE this increasing conflict be-
~ tween America and England, de-

operation continually place obstacles
in the way Of their earnest efforts to
arrive at a friendly understanding
with the bosses.
IT seems to US that the Greens, VOLS
1 and Lewises have just cause for
complaint of the manner in which
state courts and the supreme court of
the united States ignore their over
lures to employers and constantly
give excuse to revolutionists like our
selves to raise the question of the
class struggle.
THERE is for instance the Bedford
Cut Stone Company decision
handed down by the U. S. Supreme
Court which practically outlaws or
binary defensive activities of the
unions.
The United Mine Workers of
America are enjoined from carrying
on organizing work in the decisive
fields Of West Virginia by blanket
injunction.
IN southern Ohio the same union is
met with a federal injunction of
SO sweeping a character, including
the authorization to federal armed
forces to place themselves at the dis
posal Of the coal barons, that unless
it is broken by mass violation the
strike itself will be broken.
IN Indianapolis an injunction was is
sued prohibiting organization work
by the Amalgamated Association OF

THE more than 1900 deportations
in the past year and the growing
brutality toward and suppression
of foreign-born workers which reached
it's climax in the execution of Sacco
and Vanzetti had not placed American
labor in a more favorable position so
far as the capitalists are concerned.
Let us listen to the testimony of the
secretary Of labor whose arduous la
bors in devising ways and means of
prosecuting foreign-born workers
have earned him the admiration of all
100 per cent Americans and the hatred
of all honest and intelligent workers
and farmers.
GPEAKING at Montauk Beach on the
- eve of Labor Day, Davis said that
usually the creation of new in
dustries kept pace with the improve
ments i'll machinery, but that recently
the number of new inventions had
been so great that considerable I'M
employment had resulted"
We quote further:
"The greatest evils which we are
likely to suffer in the future, so far
as labor is concerned, are connected
with the subject of unemployment"
AFTER citing what he termed the
Al revolution" in the glass industry
where one single machine can now
turn out all the five-gallon glass con-
tainers that are used in the United
States, Davis continued:
while we should continue to
think of our wonderful machines,
we must also think of our wonder

try might have been in if wa had

dustry.
1t is not surprising that a govern
ment official and not a labor official
speaks in this vein. 1t is not the first
time heads of the departments of
Wall Streets government have antici-
pated the leaders of the American Ia
Dor movement and we can expect that
soon, having been tipped off that it is
a safe subject when carefully dealt

to "see that any man who cannot talk
English or is not an American citi-
zen who dares to take part in picket
ing shall be immediately depOrted."
There is now a veritable stampede
on the part of the coal operators to
secure similar injunctions.
Upon whom is the blame for this
~ sinister court ruling to be placed ?
Nowhere else but upon the Shout
ders of President Lewis of the United
Mine Workers and his henchmen who,
at the Indianapolis convention last
January anticipated and invited such
a ruling by themselves prohibiting all
but American citizens from holding
office in the union.
Composed Of a majority of foreign
born workers the United Mine Work
ers of America can have it's strike
broken by this one injunction alone.
CATURATED tho American workers
y may be with the anti-foreign
propaganda of the capitalist publicity
agencies, jealous tho they may be of
their privileges" as American citi-
zens, they nevertheless are able in
the light of such developments to I'M
derstand that here is no mere Gamer
termination" scheme but a deadly
blow at the most important union in
the American labor movement which
will be followed by others directed at
all unions which have foreign born
membership in large numbers, as have
all the mass unions.
There can be no purely American
unions for at least another decade.
A AMERICAN labor officialdom faces
"A another problem for which its
efficiency unionism policy not only
provides no solution but which &C.
tually adds to it's seriousness-the
problem of growing unemployment.
In the boom period which is passing
it was not necessary for labor off
cialdom to waste time on this question
since its golden schemes for peace in
industry" and trade union capitalism
effectively stilled the few discontinued
ones. Officialdom could even join
with the bosses at chamber of com
merce and rotary club meetings and
clad in the snug glory of frock coats
and Ascot ties, make eloquen
speeches lauding the splendid pro-
gress of American industry and the
wonderful productivity of the con-
tented American worker harnessed tc
the shining machines which are the
marvel of the world.
