The Voice of the Communist Movement

)the class struggle an inspiration to
the workers for further endeavors.
The more accurate it is in handling
facts, the more the readers depend
on the truth of its accounts, the bet
ter will it succeed with this aim.
Issues and events of the class strug
gle must be- played up, not played
down, but irresponsible exaggeration,
which defeats itself, is a fault to be
avoided. A reputation for reliability
is one of the greatest assets Of any
publication. The more the workers
learn to depend on the truth of our
reports the greater viii our real in
fluence grow.
! A Communist paper cannot take
any other journalistic form for its
model, least of all in determining the
makeup of its staff. Journalists en-
ployed on capitalist and reformist pa
pers are merely journalists. They
are disconnected from life and strug
gle and become mere functionaries of
machine without any connection
with its motive forces. That is why
they almost always become good-for-
nothing cynics, mere craftsmen whose
trade is barren words.
Bureaucracy and Routine are to
certain extent inherent in the trade
of journalism, but they are alien to
Communist newspaper. The staff
must be directly and organically con
nected with general Party activities
and mass struggles of the workers
and the contents, style and tone of
the paper must be true reflection
of this party and labor life.
Our Daily witch, in spite of enor-
nous difficulties and many shortcom-
ings, has nobly fulfilled its role of
guide and voice Of the movement for.
more than four years, is again in the
direst straits.
We know that the appeal of the
management committee was prompted
by imminent danger to the life of
the paper and we must stake every
thing on the hope and confidence that
the loyalty and 'self-sacrifice of the
workers who love The DAILY

present crisis.
For the future we must aim to put
stronger and broader foundation
under the paper. The resolution Of
the Political Committee showed the
way for this and, it is to be hoped,
will lead to closer unity of the
DAILY WORKER and its editorial
and business staff with the entire
Party and the left movement of the
workers of which it is The voice.
If the greater prominence which the
affairs of the Daily is to have on
the agenda of the G. f. c. as indi-
Gated in the resolution, is reflected in
the Party ranks, there can be no
doubt that the new resources and
energies drawn into the work for the
paper will firmly establish and safe
guard its future.

ANTWERP HARBOR
WORKERS STILL
TYING UP The PORT
Strikebreakers Fail to
Unload Ships

ANTWERP, Belgium, June 20. -
No immediate settlement of the strike
of ten thousand harbor workers which
began three days ago was forecast
here yesterday as the men remained
firm in spite of the efforts of the po-
lice to dispense the strikers meetings
and demonstrations along the water
front.
Shipping in the largest port in
Belgium is practically paralyzed and
there is no immediate prospect that
loading and unloading of cargoes will
be resumed in the near future.
The attempts of the owners to use
strikebreakers has proved entirely I'M
successful.
Belief that the seamen would join
the walk-out of the harbor workers is
still held here. The sailors of the
port are enthusiastic in their support
of the strikers and are bringing pres
sure to bear upon their officials to de-
clare a sympathetic strike.

TO PASS SEVERE
ANTI-LADOR law
Colombia Senate to Lee
galize Terror

BOGOTA Colombia, June 25.-The
increasing number Of successful
strikes in Colombia is leading to the
PRONUNCIATION of severe legislation
against Colombian labor and labor or
ganizations The latest measure, a
direct attack upon militant labor, has
just been submitted to the senate BY
a commission selected by this body
from among the majority, the con-
servatives, for the purpose Of ''study7
ing" the most efficient methods of
fighting the Communist danger"
The commission found the solution
by proposing prison terms ranging
from one month to Ia years for
meetings or distribution of propa-
ganda by socialists, anarchists or
Communists"
The conservatives have a two-thirds
majority in the Colombian senate and
there is little doubt that these recon-
mendations will be accepted This
law is sufficiently inclusive to sup
press any labor activity.

SCAB COAL and
TRANSIT UNITED
Both Companies Have
Anti-Labor Records

The recent alliance between the yell
low dog T1terboro Rapid Transit
Company and the Consolidated and
Berwind-White coal companies has
prompted an inquiry by the transit
commission. Independent producers
charge that the Interboro Rapid
Transit disregards low bids and IA
vors the Berwind- White combination.
The reason given is that E. j. Ber-
wind, head of the coal corporation,
is also the chairman of the Interboro's
executive committee, and as such, one
of the directors of the huge traction
trust that controls elevated and sub
way transportation in Manhattan and
the Bronx.
The records Of both the Interboro
and the Berwind- White companies are
VIGOROUSLY anti-labot. The Interboro
Rapid Transit has wrapped itself in
a series of anti-labor injunctions and
its workers in yellow dog contracts
to keep the street-car mems union
out Of the subways.

DIAMOND STRIKE
IN SOUTH AFRICA
MAKES He ADWAY
Police Intimid ation
Proves Failure

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June
25.-Failure of provocative police
tactics to break the strike of the
twenty-five thousand native workers
f~on the diamond diggings outside
the town of Lichtenberg is arousing
the authorizes to a point where they
are prepared to take any measures to
end the walk-out.
The owners, too, it is reported, are
making representations to the gov
eminent, urging an immediate ending
of the strike, foreibly if need be.
Hundreds Of native families left the
diamond fields at the time the strike
began several days ago. They have
since been housed in public buildings
and the care of feeding and sheltering
them has been taken over largely by
native strike relief bodies. The suf-
fering of many Of the workers during
the first few days of the strike was
considerable.
Requests of the native unions to
join the South African trade union
federation have been repeatedly turn
ed down.

tee of the Communist International,
and by Lenin personally, that we
must take up this heavy task at all
costs. Lenin often said that the pub
LEGATION Of national, daily political
organ was one of the first prerequi-
sites for the consolidation Of a real
political party. His maxim that such
a paper should be "the collective
propagandist, agitator and organizer
of the movement" is familiar to most
Communists.
Our paper, despite weaknesses and
shortcomings, is fulfilling this role
to much greater degree than many
oil us realize. Its great authority and
Influence is especially to be noted by
one who travels the country and sees
the movement as a whole. The Daily
shapes the theological unity of the
Party and gives lead to the entire
questions, even in the farthest out
posts of the class struggle and the
remotest sections of our vast country.
1t is needless to say that the Daily
lis highly valued by the Party mem
bers and is the staff Of life to the
militants in every field Of the labor
struggle. The comrades in the field
are Of the opinion that the paper is
improving in many respects. This
does not mean that they are blind to
its faults. They criticize it with a
freedom and often with a sharpness
which one only employs toward an
institution he feels to be his own.
The party members know that the
staff of the DAILY" performs mir
acles with the resources at hand and
with the inadequate support they re-
ceive. When we criticize the paper
it should be understood that we are
lcriticizing the Party. The faults of
our Daily are the faults of tha>move-
ment and they can be overcome only
sinsofar as they are freely discussed
and the Improvement of the pap& be-

Needs of Daily"
I In line with the resolution of the
Political Committee for the political
and technical strengthening of the
paper l wish to set forth few ideas
of what our daily organ needs and
will gain with the help Of the work
ers who maintain it.
A stronger staff, from a Commu-
mist political standpoint, is one of the
first prerequisites to the execution
\ of the decision Of the Political Com
mittee. The staff as a whole must
be nearer to the Party and, for the
most part at least, have a stronger
background Of Party experience and
political understanding. 1t is. true
that newspaper work is a trade for
which certain technical qualifications
are more or less necessary. It is

Bv JAMES P. CANNON

ut a recent meeting of the Political
q Committee of our Party the report
of the management Of The DAILY
WORKER was the first point on the
agenda. 1t was not a new subject
for US. The material difficulties Of
our paper have become an old story,
We have to admit that the leading
committee of the Party, over-bur-
dened with duties and responsibilities,
has often taken the existence OF our
paper too much for granted and has
not always given it the direct super
vision and supporty technically and
politically, which its place as the
voice of the Party demands. This
negligence has been reflected in the
Party circles also and we all share
the blame.
At the meeting of the Political
Committee to which | have referred,
however, a changing attitude was
shown and a new~note of interest and
concern for all the affairs of the pa
per was struck. l was especially
sensitive to this new current because
had come back from my tour Of the
country with a higher regard for our
daily organ and greater apprecia-
ton Of its worth to the movement
than had ever felt before.
The Daily in Danger.
The report of the management gave
the whole committee new realization
that greater attention and support
from the entire Party is life and
death question for the paper. Those
who were present there know that
the alarming notice of danger which
has again been issued to the readers
Of the paper is no "wolf" cry, but a
statement of actual facts.
The discussion on the report natur-
ally covered wide field and dealt
with the various aspects of the Daily,
since they are all bound together and
are all part of one general problem.
The discussion eliminated in mo-
ton to consider the political, technical
and financial strengthening of The
DAILY WORKER as one of the
Party's foremost immediate tasks.
This was a necessary and highly
decision. 1t is true we
have passed similar motions before
which remained only on paper, but
the recognition of the overshadowing
im portance Of our central organ is
growing and there is reason to be-
lieve this motion will bring positive
results.
1t is time now, in the light of this
motion and the exigencies of the mo-
ment, to review the whole questions
Iof our leading organ openly before
the Party in order that the Party
membership will participate in the
work of giving life and substance to
the motion.
