ASK WORLD CONGRESS
TO ADOPT PROGRAM

velopment and not through process
in which capitalism grows ever
weaker and the proletariat ever
stronger.
The conception of finance capital
was adopted in the program de-
spite criticisms because it repre-
sents the facts. We do not accept
mechanical dominance of finance
over industrial capital, but the al
lied growth of both.
The problem of over-production
is also dealt with, for the dispropor-
ton between the productive forces
and consumptive power is nothing
but the problem of over-production.
Differences existed in the Pro-
gram Commission concerning the
Nep and war Communism. The
draft avoids the use of the express
sion Nep as specifically Russian,
but the problem had to be raised.
The Nep exists as the reflection of
the productive relations where
small producers exist. Where the
latter do not exist, the necessity for
the Nep may be obviated.
However, the relations CT the
world proletariat to the world
peasantry are practically the same
as the relations of the workers to
the peasants in the Soviet Union.
The necessity of markets for the
small producers is therefore inter
national.
1t is not absolutely essential for
war Communism to be the first
stage following the revolution. We
must leave our hands free in order
to take the best steps dictated by
the given situation.
The process of social-democratic
development is also analysed in the
program, particularly the role of
the left-wing social-democrats.
1t is now high time to give our
program final form. The present
draft is not ideal, but it is advis-
able to adopt it. l am convinced
that the program will be the rally
ing banner in the struggle of mil
lions of workers and peasants in
Europe and the colonies.
The international situation is in
tensifying the war danger. This is
no phrase, but the brutal reality
Under the Communist flag. this pro-
gram will do good service in the
fight for the victory of the WORLD
proletariat and world Communism.

at must be borne in mind" the
appeal continues, that there are
but a few weeks left until the his
toric convention will take place.
During this short period a great
deal of organization work has to
be accomplished. The Lewis ma
chine is doing its utmost to intimi-
date the miners and prevent them
from electing their delegates to the
convention. Our organizers must,
therefore, be constantly on the job
to fight back the reactionaries.
"7ye Rave no big payroll and ex-
pcnse accounts, unlike the ! evils

they can get a few cents for an &C.

extent that we will be able &c pre-
vent the Lewis gang from intimidat-

Gitlow Speaks.
Ben Gitlow, candidate. for vice

two large open-air mass meetings

Enthusiastic demonstrations of
the assembled strikers greeted him.
The large crowds listened to his
speech with great interest despite
an insistent rain.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 10,
= Twenty-eight thousand textile
operatives in Sc New Bedford fine
goods mills are still solidly out on
strike as the big anti-wage cut
struggle ends it's 18th week.
The fake Investigation of the state
board of arbitration and concilia-
ton, branded so by the Textile Mill
Committees representative Eli
Keller when he appeared before the
inquiry, is soon to be completed,
board chairman Fisher announced.
The board, after a few more secret
conferences, will make public their
findings as to where the guilt for
the strike belongs.
In spite of it's being a maneuve1
to weaken the morale of the strikers
the leaders of the A. F. of L. United
Textile Workers Union are particip-
ating in it. At it's hearings they
also propose to the employers union
cooperation for more profitable pro
duction.
Eli Keller in statement says
"The kind of labor leader Mr.
Batty is can be seen when he pur.
poses that the workers should be
speeded up in exchange for the
adjustment of the ten per cent
wage cut. By suggesting before
the investigation committee of fine
state board of arbitration that the
workers increase their productivity
he openly shows himself as an agen
of the mill owners in the ranks Of
the workers"
"Mr. Batty is only interested il
collecting dues, as his testimony
shows. Only those who pay dues, hi
said, are considered members of hi
union. When the workers are worr
out, under Mr.. Batty's speed W
plan, they lose their job, and as
result cannot pay their dues. Tha
means they are also thrown out o.
the union"

Many, many years ago, just after the Civil War
to be exact, few of the far-seeng bosses caught
little baby elephant, taught him carefully to per-
form for them and brought him up to respond to
every command of his masters.
Since then the elephant has grown big, fat and
strong. The bosses who first owned him have given
way to bigger bosses; the tricks he is required to
perform have become bit more difficult, but never
from the first moment have his masters had rea-
son to complain of his lack of obedience.
More workers have paid admission to the national
three-ring circus at which the elephant performs
every four years than to any other show These work
laugh heartily at the antics of the trained pachy
derm. They shout joyousy when he rises up his
huge, hind legs. They go into actual Mysteries when
he stands his head! For the moment they forget
their troubles: "Ho, Look at the way he responds
when we shout at him!'
BUT FEW OF THEM EVER INQUIRE: WHO d.
RECTS THE TRAINED ELEPHANT?

No Serb Officials at
Raditch Funeral

ZEGRED, Jugoslavia, Aug. TO-
Police and military units patrolling
the streets throughout Croatia are
attempting to suppress all attempts
on the part of the workers and
peasants to hold deonstrations call
ing for autonomy. AS the body of
Stefan Raditch lies in state many
demonstrations in the principal
cities and towns have been broken
up.
Following the refusal IF the
leaders of the Croatian and Demo-
cratic Peasant Parties to accept
state burial from the Belgrade gov
ernent, the request of Serb officials
to attend the funeral has also been
rejected.
The will of Raditch leaves the CO.
presidency of the Croatian Party to
NJ. Matchek and NJ. Pribitchevitch,
with the request that they consult
the executive committee on all i'm
portant matters.
Attempt to Appease Peasants.
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Aug. 10.
Taking advantage of the message
of the Croat leaders requesting the
peasants to refrain from demon
strations as the body of Stefan
Raditch awaits burial, the Belgrade
government is attempting to con-
jole Croatia back into the Jugoslav
fold, through conciliatory articles
in its newspapers.
The Parliamentary Immunity
Committee has also decided to turn
the two deputies charged with the
shooting of Raditch over to the
criminal courts in an effort to APP
pease the Croatian leaders, who
have been demanding their trial as
a prerequisite for their re-entry
into the Belgrade parliament.
