Certainly no capitalist candidate
elected to office has been more
brazen than the vice presidential
candidate of the socialist party,
James Maurer, who together with
the other socialist members of the
City Council of Reading, Pa, on
taking office declared that Gin case
of strikes the employers will be
given more protection than ever be-
fore"
If it is becoming clear to the
workers that the Communists are
the only fighters for the working
class-on all fronts-then these
workers must be induced to show
their sentiment in the election cam
paign. These workers should be
shown why it is important both for
the Communist Party and for the
working class that fighting spokes-
men be sent to the legislative and
executive office to fight for the
workers, to expose the sham and
hideousness of the system, to mob
ilize the workers from the cham
bers of parliament. But just as the
Communists make the workers no
promises, but plainly tell the work
ers that the working class alone can
emancipate the workers out of the
morass, so too, the elected Commu-
mist candidates will only be able to
sound the call, but the workers in
their organizations, in the shops,
through resolutions, demonstrations
through strikes, will build the move
ment that will put terror into the
hearts Of the capitalists.
A Test.
This election campaign therefore
will oe a test for the Communist
Party. Have the members of the
Party freed themselves completely
from the sectarian policy of "boy-
cotting the elections" which once
was advocated by our Party? (Not
that under certain conditions the
Party may not again call for a boy
colt Of the elections.) Do the mem
bers of the Party realize the i'm
portance of engaging in this cam
paign in which millions of workers
are interested and will vote, thereby
binding themselves once more to the
capitalists?
There are several reasons why
our Party members must throw
themselves with full energy and en-
thusiasm into the election cam
paign:
/. Because the workers and farm
ers still have faith in elections and
expect relief from their troubles
through the capitalist parties.
2. Because too many workers fol-
low us on the industrial field, who

been able to maintain an appearance
of independence only at the price of
exhausting toll and systematic
starvation.
The increasing employment of
machinery, the constant improve
ment in technique and the uninter-
rupted rise in the organic compost
ton Of capital, which is accompanied
by greater division of labor and an
increase in the productivity and in
tensity of labor, signified also the
more extensive employment Of
woman and child labor and the
formation of enormous industrial
reserve armies, which are constantly
being recruited from among the
proletarianized peasantry who are
forced to leave their villages and
among the ruined petty and middle
urban bourgeoisie. The existence of
small group of billionaires at one
pole OF social relationships and of
an enormous mass of proletarians on
the other, the constantly increasing
rate of exploitation of the working
class, the reproduction on a wider
basis of the profoundest contradic-
tons of capitalism and their con-
sequences (crises, wars, etc.), the
constant growth of social inequality,
the rising Indignation of the pro-
letariat; united and trained by the
mechanism Of capitalist production
itself,-all this has inevitably under
mined the foundations of capitalism
and has brought nearer the day of
its collapse.
The period of industrial capitalism
IN the main was period of "free
competition" a period Of relatively
smooth evolution and expansion Of
capitalism throughout the whole
world amidst conditions of the par
tition and armed conquest of unoc-
cupied colonies and the steady
growth of the contradictions of cap
ltalism, the burdens of which fell
mainly upon the shoulders. of the
crushed and oppressed colonial peo-
pies.
Towards the beginning of the goth
century, however, this period gave
place to new PERIOD period Of
Imperialism. In this period capital
ism develops spasmodically and in
the midst of conflicts; free competi-
ton has given place to monopoly;
the "unoccupied" colonial lands are
all divided up and the struggle for a
redistribution of colonies and spher-
es OF Influence is primarily assum-
ing the form of armed conflicts.
The ramifications and truly world
wide scope of the contradictions of
capitalism found most striking ex-
preston in the epoch of Imperialism

ally signifies a new form of capital
ism, a new system of relationship

Hence, international proletarian
revolution follows logically from the
conditions of development of capital
ism generally and from its imperi-
alist phase in particular. Uneven
economic and political development
is an absolute law of capitalism.
This unevenness becomes still more
accentuated and intensified in the
epoch Of Imperialism. From this it
follows that the international prole-
tartan revolution must not be re-
garded as a single simultaneous and
universal act. The victory of Social
ism is possible at first in few and
even in one capitalist country. But
every such proletarian victory
widens the basis of world revolution
and, consequently, still further in
tensifies the general crisis of Cap
italism. Thus, the capitalist system
as a whole is approaching its final
collapse. The dictatorship Of finance
capital is perishing and giving place
to the dictatorship of the proletariat.

In their quest for profits the bour-
geoisie were compelled to develop
the forces of production on an ever
increasing scale and to strengthen
and expand the domination of cap
italistic relationships of production.
AS a. consequence, the development
of capitalism constantly reproduees
on a. wider basis all the inherent
contradictions of the capitalist sys-
TEN and primarily, the decisive CON
tradiction between social production
and'the private acquisition of the re-
suits. of production,-between the
growth of the forces of production
and capitalist property relationships.
The predominance of private owner
ship of the means of production and
the anarchy prevailing in production
have disturbed the economic equilib-
rum. between the various branches
of production; for the developing
contradiction between the unlimited
expansion of production and the re-
str1cted consumption Of the masses
OF the proletariat has led to period
zeal and devastating crises and mass
unemployment among the proletari-
at. The predominance of private
property also found expression in
competitionr-within each separate
capitalist country as well as on the
constantly. expanding world market.
The latter form of capitalist rivalry
resulted in series Of wars which
are the inevitable accompaniment of
capitalist development.
At the same time a change took
place in the internal structure of
capitalist society. The technical and
economic advantages Of large-scale
production have led to the destruc-
ton Of pre-capitalist economic forms
IN the course of the competitive
struggle and to the continuously in
creasing concentration and central
tzation of capital. In the sphere of
industry this law has manifested it.
self primarily in the direct destruc-
ton of small enterprises and partly
in their degradation to the position
of auxiliary units of large enter
pr1ses. In the sphere Of agriculture,
1t not only found expression in the
process of differentiation among the
peasantry and the proletarianization
OF broad strata of the latter, but
principally in the tacit and ovowed
subordination of peasant-farming to
big capital; the small farmers have

Tonight is the last opportunity to see that great drama of the Marines in which Lon Clancy acts without makeup of any kind. The physical Clancy, as he really is, without any deformities or hiideous masks. This play, Tell It to the Marines" is more true to life than either The Big Par ade" or What Price Glory, and al, though dealing with the navy has only one short fight scene with Chin ese bandits. It is an excellent pro- trayal of the raw recruit with many shortcomings, transformed into a seasoned, reliable trooper. The story is threaded throughout with many humorous and tense situations. Many who saw the play last night declare it to be better than the two big fea- lures.

MAUL|NG NAPLES
NOW IS BIG SPORT
Stellar BoWIers Are Not Apt
to Find Going So Easy
in Tourney.

n n AULING the naples will be the
mn big sport for many residents
IVt Of Washington and nearby
1 Y L Maryland and Virginia during
the holiday season. More than
1000 people will be sniping at the duck
pins on the Lucky Strike drives in
The Evening Star individual champion
ship tournament opening Wednesday
night and continuing through January
5. The entry is a record for size of the
field in a singles bowling event in the
District of Columbia, and there's plenty
class in the field, too.
With 20 prizes for men and 10 for
women, high scorers will be well repaid
for their efforts, but even those who fail
to break into the prize winning class
will get much pleasure from the tour
ney. In arranging the schedule yester-
day, the committee was careful to pre-
serve all team entries, and in the case
of individual entries every effort was
made to group bowlerS acquainted with
one another.
For the first time in the history Of
big bowling tournaments here, there
will be no late starting shifts. In The
Star event, bowlers will take the drives
nightly in the eight sessions at 1880
o'clock and carry on to the finish of
their assignments The men will bowl
five games each and the women three
each. With squads Of ten assigned to
each two alleys, the nightly sessions
should be concluded at 1890 o'clock at
the latest.
Competition to Be Keen.
The competition promises to be keen.
While virtually all of the star bowlers
Of the city are in the affair, they are
not expected to dominate. Any time
field Of more than 1000 battles on the
drives one may always expect 20 or 80
run wild. And oddly, the stars of the
drives-the big average men-rarely
have Scintilated in tournaments.
There are in the list of competitors in
The Star tourney many bowlers who are
just trif1e shy of the stellar class and
many others who at time are apt to
step out and sock the naples soundly.
OF course, form tells in bowling as in
any other game over q long stretch.
But in tourney bowling where the roller
has only a limited time to show his
wares form usually does not mean
much. Watch out for the dark horses
in the race for prizes in The Star holi-
day competition.
Regardless of the outcome, there'll be
plenty entertainment nightly for the
followers Of the game as well as for
the bowlers. Well balanced fields have
been scheduled for each of the eight
sessions of the event and during the
tournament many private matches are
to be staked Your bowler always is
supremely confident of his ability to
lick the other fellow and he's carrying
this confidence into The Star tourney
Many issues of this nature are to be set
tied between December 26 and jan
uary 5.

-HE best Christmas gift to the
anglers of Washington and vi
cinity would be the enactment
of proposed legislation abolish
ing purse netting in Chesapeake
Raw. and the sale and shipment of
black bass in the State of Maryland.
The evil pertaining to the small and
large mouth bass-illegal catching OF
these fish and their subsequent sale,
principally in Baltimore, because the
Washington markets have been closed
bv an act of Congress prohibiting their
sale in the District of Columbia-would
be done away with if Maryland enacts
such a law.
Another present of vital Importance
and absolutely essential to fishermen
and the good of the sport, is legislation
preventing the pollution Of streaps,
Present legislation on this all-important
subject does not seem to be adequate
to handle the situation.
The 1928 fishing season is over ana
the only additional news concerning 1t
will be the announcement of prizes to
the anglers landing the largest different
species of fish for which prizes were
offered by the sporting goods companies.
This list will be published shortly.

nimrods during the Fall and Winter
months. One of these is John F: Mer-
