TO SHIPS BOSS
His Crime is Teaching
Seamen Economics
(Bg q Worker Correspondent

(Bg d Worker Correspondent
The captain of the S. S. "Tirpitz"
Of the Hamburg-American line does
not seem to be very satisfied with
his crew.
"All my men are good" said he
one time to another captain of a
different ship, except Herr U.
Mueller. He is the only trouble
maker on the boat"
What does this "trouble-maker"
do anyhow?
His "crime" consists in being ar
instructor in economics to a class
which the seamen of the above YES
sci have organized. Otherwise Muel-
Ter attends to his work well. He is
an oiler on the said boat. Instead
of gambling or wasting his time
for nothing he prepares the seamen
to be true to the workers cause.
When the captain tried to get rid
of Mueller all the men fought for
him unitedly and he remained on
the vessel.
If the seamen had many more
'ftrouble-makers" like Mueller they
would be better off.
Let the crew of the "Tirpitz" be
an example to all seamen.

only by ruthless struggle against
Social Democracy.
Thus, the organization of the
forces of the international revolu-
ton becomes possible only on the
platform of Communism. The op-
portunist Second international of
Social Democracy, which has be-
come the agency of Imperialism in
the ranks of the working class, is
inevitably confronted by the Com
nltnist International.
The war of 1914-1918 gave rise
to the first attempts to establish a
new, revolutionary international, to
counterbalance the Second, Social
Chauvinist International and to be
used as a weapon of resistance to
bellicose Imperialism (Zimmerwald
and KienthaD. The victorious pro-
letarian revolution in Russia gave
powerful impetus to the forma-
ton of Communist Parties in the
centres of capitalism and in the
colonies. In 1919, the Communist
International was formed, and for
the first time i'm history the most
progressive strata of the European
and American proletariat were real
ly united with the proletariat of
China and India and with the col
ored toilers of Africa and America
on the basis of practical revolution
airy struggle.
AS a united and centralized in
ternational proletarian Party, the
Communist International is the only
Party to continue the organizations
al principles of the First Interna-
tional and to apply them to the
revolutionary proletarian movement
on a new mass basis. The expert
ence gathered from the first i'm
perialist war, from the subsequent
period of revolutionary crisis of
capitalism, from the series of re-
volutions in Europe and the colon
ial countries; the experience gath
cred from the dictatorship of the
proletariat and the building up of
Socialism in the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics and from the work
of all the Sections of the Commun-
list International, which has been
recorded in the decisions of it's Con-
crosses, and finally, the fact that
the struggle between the imperialist
bourgeoisie and the proletariat is
more and more assuming an inter-
national character, makes it posi-
bic, necessary and .opportune to
draw up the program of the Com
monist International, which shall be
the common program of all it's Sec
tions.
-. The program of the Communist
International is the supreme gener-
alization of the experience of the
international revolutionary proleta-
rian movement and is, therefore, the
program of the struggle for world
proletarian dictatorship, the pro-
gram of the struggle for world
Communism.
AS an organization uniting the
revolutionary workers, who lead
millions of the oppressed and ex-
plotted against the bourgeoisie and
their socialist" agents, the Com
munist International regards itself

CITY CHARITY is
AID OF BOSSES

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July 8.
The New Bedford Board of Pub
lie Welfare, whose granting of
charity to strikers was exposed as
ruse to cover its role as scab
agency for the mill owners, but
which nevertheless received the en-
thusiastic endorsement Of the Tex
tile Council of the United Textile
Workers, has finally come out in its
true colors and announced publicly
that no aid will be given after Mon
day to those strikers who refused
to go back to work when the mill
owners open the mills.
The decision of the City Council
to open the Welfare funds for the
relief of the strikers was hailed by
Binns and Batty as wonderful GEES
ture of the friendliness of the mill
boss controlled city politicians. This
despite statements by the Textile
Mills Committee that workers had
been offered "chance" to go scab-
bing when they applied for relief.
To the strikers here this is not
any more surprising than the action
Of Mayor Ashley in calling troops to
aid the mill bosses in trying to
crush the strike, but, they declare,
it merely adds more proof to the
contention that the Textile Council
officials are themselves important
enemies Of the strikers.
In an attempt to stem the i'm
mense tide of popularity among the
strikers enjoyed by the Textile
Mills Committee, the Textile Coun-
Gil leaders are trying to obtain fol-
lowers among the workers by i'm
porting Especial Polish" and "spe-
cial women" organizers.
The great majority of the Polish
workers here are adherents of the
Mills Committee. Nearly all the
women strikers are also enthusiast
tic allies lined up with them. More
than that, the Mills Committee
strike committee as well as posts
as organizers, are occupied by many
women strikers. The Council has
hired a research worker of the Bri-
fish Independent Labor Party as
women's organizer, in addition to
one from the Women's Trade Union
League. So far their progress can
be recorded as nil.

INTRODUCTION

The epoch of Imperialism is the
epoch of nioribund Capitalism. The
.risis of Capitalism, which arose on
= he basis of Imperialism, signifies
hat the material prerequisites for
Socialism have already matured.
But the development of Imperial
SIN not only creates the material
prerequisites for Socialism; it ST.
nultaneously creates the conditions
or the overthrow of Capitalism.
Imperialism subjects large mass
IS of the proletariat of all coun-
ries - from the centres of capital
st might to the most remote cor
hers of the colonial world = to the
dictatorship of finance capitalism.
With elemental force Imperialism
exposes and accentuates all the con-
radictions of Capitalist society. 1t
ntensifies class oppression to the
almost limits. 1t intensifies the
contradiction between the growth
If the productive forces of world
economy and national state barriers
an exceptional degree. 1t newt
IDLY gives rise to imperialist wars
# worldwide dimensions, which
ihake the whole system of prevail
ng relationships and inexorably
l4d to the world proletarian re-
Yolution.
Imperialism binds the whole
world in the chains of finance cap
tai. With bonds of blood and iron
ties the proletarians of all coun-
ries, nationalities and races, to the
roke of financial and capitalist plu-
ocracy. 1t intensifies the exploit
alton, oppression and enslavement
# the proletariat to an immeasur-
lble degree and thus directly con-
,ronts it with the task of capturing
power. In this way Imperialism
reates the necessity for uniting the
proletariat of all countries, irrespec-
i've of nationality, race, sex or pro-
lession, into single international
,roletarian army that cuts across
III state barriers. Thus, while I'm
oerialism creates material condi-
ions for Socialism, 1t at the same
lime confronts the proletariat with
he necessity for organizing in a
militant international association of
workers, which is essential for the
overthrow of Imperialism.
On the other hand, Imperialism
pitts off the better placed section
Vt the working class from the main
md more oppressed section of the
masses. This is the upper stratum
If the working class, bribed and
corrupted by Imperialism. They COM

near, and oil prices are likely to go
up unless rapid improvement in con-
serving the supply, both in the
amount used and the way it is used
shall be secured. Private competi-
ton in developing wells in America
is wasting a great deal of the
narrowing supply. A crisis is ahead
when greed will rule every move of
the two giants. Britain's companies
will have cornered most of the re-
naming oil. Denny predicts that the
anti-British propaganda which can
be evoked by Mayor Thompson will
be called forth by oil interests, and
war will come-unless the British
make a compromise.
And the Kellogg war-abolition
treaty? Familiar with every detail
of it's discussion, Denny ignores it
as a peace factor.

as the historical successor to the
Communist League" and the First
International founded by Marx and
as the inheritor of the best tradi-
tions of the Second International.
The First international laid the
theological foundations for the in
ternational proletarian struggle for
Socialism. The Second Information
al, in the best period of its exist
ence, prepared the ground for ex-
panding the labour movement and
spreading it widely among the mass
es. The Third, Communist Inter
national, continuing the work of the
First International and accepting
the fruits of the work of the Sec
ond International, resolutely Topped
off the latter's opportunism, it's So
cial chauvinism and it's bourgeois
distortion of Socialism and set out
to establish the dictatorship of the
proletariat. I'm this way the Com
munist International preserves the
continuity of all the glorious and
heroic traditions of the information
al labor movement: the British
Chartists and the French insurrec
tionists of 1881; the French and
German working class revolution
aries of 1848; the immortal war
riors and martyrs of the Paris Com
mune; the brave soldiers of the Ger
man, Hungarian and Finnish re-
volutions; the workers of former
Czarist Russia-the victorious bear
ers of the proletarian dictatorship;
the Chinese proletarians-the her.
oes of Canton and Shanghai.
In it's theoretical and practical
work, the Communist International
bases itself on the historical expe-
rience of the revolutionary labor
movement in all continents and
among all peoples, and entirely and
unreservedly adopts the point of
view Of revolutionary Mor1ism,
which found its completion in Len
inisn,. Leninism is nothing more
nor less than Marxism of the epoch
IF Imperialism and proletarian re-
volutions.
The Communist International adj
vocates, propagates and applies the
revolutionary method of dialectical
materialism of Marx and Engels
and actively combats all forms of
bourgeois philosophy and all forms
of theoretical and practical oppor-
tunism. 1t takes its stand on the
basis of consistent proletarian class
struggle and subordinating the tenn
porary, partial, group and national
interests Of the proletariat to the
latter's lasting, common and inter
national interests; it ruthlessly ex-
poses every form of the doctrine of
"class peace" - which the reform
lists have accepted from the bour-
geoisie = ("civil peace" defense of
imperialist "fatherland" IL, timG of
war, the gospel of bourgeois paci-
fism, peace in industry" etc. etc..
The Communist International ex-
presses the historical need for a
revolutionary organization of re-
volutionary proletarians-the grave
diggers of the capitalist system
and is therefore the only interna-
tional organization which has the
dictatorship of the proletariat and
Communism for its program and
which openly comes out as the or
ganizer of the international pro-
letarian revolution.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OPELIKA, Ala, November 10.-Cau-
ton and sound thinking in the de-
velopment of the cotton textile industry
in the South was urged here today by
Russell Leonard, treasurer of the
Pepperell Manufacturing Co. of Boston,
to escape "calamitous results from over
production.
Added production at this time is
an economic Ill wherever the plants are
built" Leonard told a group of Opelika
merchants and professional men at a
luncheon given in his honor. 1t makes
competition more severe among the
mills of the South, rendering impossible
both profitable operation and steady
employment of labor"
Sees Slow Improvement.
In a statement issued after the meet
ing Mr.. Leonard said "the cotton textile
industry may have turned the corner
as President-elect Hoover has etated,
but there is plenty of evidence that the
turn is only slightly perceptible, and
that the corner may be a very gradual
and gentle curve rather than right
angle turn. It is time when sound
economic thinking and acting is
especially necessary.
ut is surprising to me to find certain
public utilities companies assist finan-
cially In the promotion of mills to
compete with existing mills who are
their own customers, and who are
fighting for their lives. believe, also,
that a community that fosters promo
tion of new mills in the present period
is engaging unwittingly in very haz-
ardous enterprise"
On Inspection Tour.
Leonard has been travelling through
the South with group of officials of
the Pepperell Co. His visit to Opelika,
he said, was in the nature of an in
spection of the local mill which
operates $4,000 spindles.
w. j. Vereen of Moultrie, Ca,
operator of two textile plants there
and a member of the executive COM
mittee of. the Cotton Textile Institute,
gave his endorsement to the statement
of Mr. Leonard, pointing out that of
the 37,000,000 spindles in the United
States, 100000 now are idle in New
England because of the slackened de-
mand for textile products.
