The First Red Election Sunday

The coming October ID should be a red
letter day in the history of the Workers
(Communist) Party. On that day, next
Sunday, the entire Party membership will be
modified to conduct the most systematic and
intensive organizing and propaganda cam
paign ever undertaken by the Party.
During this week, every Party unit thru
out the country will hold a special meeting,
which must be attended by every member,
to take up the question of preparing for the
tasks assigned them by the Central Exec
utive Committee on the first of four Red
Sundays, which will be devoted to the Com
munist election campaign between now and
November 6.
In the last month of the election contest
mass interest in the issues of the campaign
is reaching fever heat. Now is the time for
every member of the Party and every Com
munist sympathizer to put every ounce of
energy behind the Communist election cam
paign, behind the only political party that
stands for and fights for the interests of the
working class, the exploited farmers and the
prosecuted Negro masses.
Prepare for Red Election Sunday on
October IA.
Help to rally the masses around the pro-
gram of the class struggle and organize them
for the fight against the capitalist system
and for the establishment of a Workers and
Farmers Government.

Paterson Strike Wednesday

The silk workers of Paterson, the scene of

Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. -Four years

partially won, succeeded in firmly establish

was the first time in history of Paterson
strikes that the union that waged the strug-
gle survived over period of years and pre-
pared to lead a second strike. That alone is
an achievement.
The silk mill owners are among the most
vicious slave drivers to be found anywhere
in the country. Women and child labor is
the accepted thing in Paterson. The speed

horribly long hours, results in terrible toll

are bought and paid for by the mill owners.

Recent Conversation With Maxim Cork

One is in the presence of two faces
of life, and not of two Numerically
opposed principles of life. 1t is uto-
plan to pretend that they are ex-
elusive of each other. Impetus is
necessary Order is also necessary:
logic first, sensibility after! the
plan and then enthusiasm. Neither
good intentions, nor sentiments, nor
the fire of the spirit of sacrifice,
will suffice to construct new So
ciety. In order to construct, no
matter what it is technique and work
are necessary. But enthusiasm which
is nothing but uselessly expended
force if it is not organized by a
doctrine, is useful and perhaps even
indispensable in order to carry out
a task.
Few have been able, without mis-
takes, to bring a rigid theory and
supple realism to the revolutionary
work of construction, which begins
with destruction and war, and which
continues thru constructive effort
and struggle. Lenin was one of
these. 1t can be said that he has
given to theory and to practise a
single body, and made the abstract
enter into the concrete. Cork was,
at one time, somewhat overwhelmed
by the enormity of Lenin. Since
the first blow he has not yet found
his voice. At heart he was at one
with the revolution, but he had not
understood it integrally. A rebel
more thar revolutionary, having
partaken genially of sickness and
of the wounds of misery and ex-
ploitation, he had uttered a cry of
anger, and he had considered that
the capture of power by the slaves
of capitalism was a just vengeance.
That was not the manner in which
those who led the revolution of
October expressed themselves.

Powerful Instrument.
These papers are already mighty
instrument in the struggle for in
fluence on the working class. But
this influence could be considerably
multiplied if the paper were prop
erly utilized, which unfortunately is
not everywhere the case.
AS has been said above, the daily
press of the Party is small, and does
not reach the broad working masses;
the factory papers, however, do
reach the masses. In spite of the
defects connected with the factory
papers, they are an important
achievement which was made pos
sible as soon as the sections of the
c. I. penetrated into the factories
by means of factory groups.

But that is not what he meant
when he spoke of change. He would
have rebound Moscow, even thru
these new facades, but it is the at
mosphere, the people, the life which
he has not found again. The change
appeared to him under the form of
rejuvination That was the word
that he repeated without stop, the
leitmotiv of the sensations of the
returned traveller. He said:
II arrived in Russia more ia
tigued and older than | am now. All
that l have seen has rejuvinated
me-"
He spoke of the young and frank
faces" of the independent and as
sured look" of the new creators
(that is also an expression which
he employed often). He explained
that he had been surrounded with
an atmosphere Of energy, of intelli-
gent and healthy creation"
This youth had reacted upon him:
Their energy is contagious" In
him it had become enthusiasm and
emotion. Sometimes this emotion cut
his words. He would rather write
than to say all this, because he
could not employ the words which
he needed-his hand is more faith
full translator and better inventor
than his mouth.
This reaction of mind and of a
spirit who knew the Russians and
Russia so well--and who returns
not from the depth of the ages but
from an absence of few years-is
important and moving to receive. It
moves one deeply. Contrary to the
custom of the annotators of the pic
turesque who come to Soviet Russia
in order to enlarge some details into
books, and to enhance their petty
