departments" and secure the as
sistance of the government for Bri-
fish manufacturers when necessary"
In the matter of legislation the
F.B.I. has been able, since 1921, to
successfully sabotage all legislation
proposed in the House of Commons
likely to affect the profits of the
British capitalists, and the various
F.B.I. publications contain a proud
record of its successes in this direc-
ton.
Year after year the F.B.I. has
carried on the work of ,undermin-
ing the trade union movement in
Britain, and compelling the workers
to carry the burden of trade de-
preston. This it has done by cut
ting wages, increasing working
hours, and forcing "a lower stand
ard of living than that which pre-
vailed before the trade depression
set in" Obj. Bulletin, November

Struggle Against Right Danger and Trotskyism

81. The Bureau Fundamentally
endorses the stand of the Central
Executive Committee in expelling
Cannon, Abern and Shachtman for
their Trotskyist activities.
"2. The Bureau endorses without
any reservations the resolution of
the Gee on the struggle against
Trotskyism and the Right danger
and declares that it will do every
thing in its power to carry the line
of the Central Executive Commit
tee.
"3. The Bureau calls upon all
comrades to rally around the Gen.
trail Executive Committee on the
basis of the acceptance of all the
decisions of the Communist Inter-
national and for a united struggle
against Trotskyism and the Right
danger in our Party"
At the last regular meeting held
by Street Nucleus % of Chicago,
the following resolution was passed
unanimously.
eve, the members of Street Nj
cleus 20, pledge our full and I'M
restricted support of the Gee action
against Cannon, Abern and Shacht-
man and completely endorse the
statement of the Gee on the dan
ger of Trotskyism.
1.-THE Gee needs the support of
every Party member for success
full fight against Trotsky and his
agents. We pledge this support"
From the Norwalk, Ohio, unit:
eve are cognizant of the fact
that opportunism in any form, past
or present, is counter-revolutionary
in it's true analysis, and we know
the part it played in China, Italy,
Germany, Hungary, and wherever
the revolutionary situation has been
keen. 1t has endangered the sta
bility and achievements Of our own
Party, the Communist International,
and is an indirect attack on the
Soviet Union. Therefore be it re-
solved:
"That Street Nucleus of Norwalk,
Ohio, acquiesces and supports the
Central Executive Committee in it's
decision against right wing and
counter-revolutionary tendencies in
the Party. We believe the princi-
Piles of Lenin cannot be miscon-
strued by any true Communist"

American question. Acceptance with
reservations or the branding of the
Gee as a right wing leadership
weakens our Party in it's fight
against the right danger and Trot-
skyism and gives therefore objec-
tive support to our enemies"
Street Nucleus / of Pittsburgh,
Pa, fully endorses the statement of
the Gee of our Party on the
Struggle Against Trotskyism and
the Right Danger"
"The appeal of the anti Commit
mist Cannon group to fight the Par
ty and the Communist International
in the name Of Leninism is nothing
but an insult to Leninism and the
memory of Comrade Lenin who was
the bitterest enemy of Trotskyism
and The Pompous Phrases with
which Trotsky always defends OPP
portunism.'
eve repudiate the statement of
some of the comrades that the Gee
is right wing group and that it
is therefore just as dangerous to
the Party as is the Cannon group.
Such an attitude on the part of
these comrades is contrary to the
CT decision which states that there
are no political differences in the
Party serious enough to justify the
continuation of the factional strug-
gle; such an attitude on the part
of these comrades minimizing the
danger of Trotskyism in the United
States only tends to weaken the
struggle against the Cannon Trot-
sky group who are now busy unit
ing all the social democratic anti
Communist renegades in this coun-
try for a war against the Party and
the Communist International.
eve welcome the frank and open
self-criticism made by the Polcom
in its statement and join in the APP
peal of the Gee to all Party men,
bers to unite on the basis of full
acceptance Of the decisions of the
Sixth World Congress of the Com
munist International and to united
ly struggle against the Cannon
Trotsky anti-Party elements and
against the right danger in the
Party"
At meeting of the Russian Buro
Of the Workers (Communist) Party
held November 81, the following
motions were carried unanimously:

with a small family while the hus-
band still was earning a small

What the Judge Missed.
Here the judge conveniently for
got that $24 a week is the average
wage of the industrial workers of
the United States, and lodged the
fact that Kourim, at %, is probably
earning as high wage as he will
ever get.
AS a protector of capitalist So
ciety, this capitalist judge was up
against one of its basic contradic-
tions. He dared not summon the
employer of Kourim to court and
punish him for paying such wages
that his workers cannot live upon
and raise family.
sLabor Power Production Falling.
AS it has been proven that a
family must have three children in
order to provide merely for per-
petuation of the race, the fact that
Kourim, getting exactly the statise
teal average wage of industrial
workers, cannot support them,
proves that capitalist exploitation in
the United States is so intensive
that the working class is not repro
ducing itself according to the norm.
There are numerous other facts
illustrated by this example, but the
Judge could not solve them being a
capitalist judge so he ended:
81 refuse you a divorce and i'm
pose on you three years of birth
control. Go home"
Rationalizing Human Production.
Incidentally under the Ohio CAPT
talist laws, probably foreseeing the
time when naturalization will make
a large percentage of workers than
now, unnecessary, allows for doctors
to give information on birth control.
The judges decision, however,
has aroused the catholic church,
which is so blindly reactionary that
it cannot see this decision as oaIi-
talism's own Solution" for prob
lem that is really insoluble under
capitalism.

French ENTENTE
Boasts of Tricking US.
Ambassador

PARIS, Dec. 5.-Reviewing the
imperialist role of the French gov
eminent in the chamber of deputies
today, Aristide BRAND, foreign
minister, tried to evade the numer-
Gus contracts between France and
Britain contained in the naval pact
by stating that no less person than
Hugh Gibson, United States ambas-
sador to Belgium, was responsible
for the entente.
BRAND declared that during the
Geneva disarmament conference Glib
son had invited the governments
represented to come to agreements
among themselves, which Great
Britain and France had already be-
gun to do and did accomplish.
Although it was very far from
Gibson's meaning that a pact be
signed against the United States
ne must have rather meant that
some power should come to a salts
ldCGOiy IISdIy WIN lllC CHlISO
States and against some other
power, probably Britain-Briand
naively holds that the pact had been
communicated to the other powers
and thus was done with the approval
of the United States government.
With the customary tactic of i'm
perialist diplomats, BRAND denies
that Franch is imperialist and points
to the pact with Britain, reached
in full accord with her allies" as a
proof that France is not imperial
istic in it's designs. He also read
statistics proving that the United
States spent more upon its navy
than France, a fact which no one
disputes. BRAND however failed to
mention that France spent more on
her army than any other European
country and that the budget voted
by the reactionary chamber was an
open declaration of frantic war
preparations.

URGE STRIKE TO
REINSTATE
ARSENAL WORKER
Dismissed for Fighting
FOke Union

LONDON, Dec. 5. - A strong
movement has been set in motion
by the Communicated left wing to
force an unofficial strike of the en-
gineers in the Woolwich Arsenal,
which has recently dismissed Percy
Glading, Communist and a strong
opponent of the Government Work
ers' Industrial Union, a scab out
fit, which the arsenal is attempt
ing to force upon it's workers.
The militants in the arsenal point
out that this industrial union is a
scab company union and that Glad
ing was fired because he opposed
every attempt to form this "union."
Neither the Trade Union Con-
gress nor the Amalgamated En-
gineering Union, to which Glading
belongs, have done anything to pre-
vent the development of a govern
ment-controlled union" in Wool
witch Arsenal. The result is that
since this bogus trade union was
formed it has grown from mem
bership of some 300 to approx
mately 1900 members.
Militant workers point out that
the Trade Union Congress started
by refusing to defend trade union
principles and that it continues by
refusing to fight scab unions, and
the question is asked, what next?
The militants are determined not
to allow the matter to drop, de-
spite the obvious intention of both
the Amalgamated leadership and
the General Council of the T. U. c..
to sabotage the strike movement.

Fascist Use Force to
KeepPeasants on Land

ROME, Dec. 5.-Any peasant at
tempting to leave his land because
of his inability to exc out an exis-
tence there and come to the city in
search for work will be punished
by three months Imprisonment of a
fine of 1000 Ira, according to Mus
solini's new bill which was intro
duced in the chamber today and
which that puppet body will pass.
The bill is a part of Mussolini's
'back to the farm" campaign which
was started when it became evident
that conditions were so bad for the
peasants due to extensive exploita-
ton by the landlords and trusts that
they could no longer endure their
lot and were threatening to march
upon the city.

The newly developing wave of
Trotskyism in our Party has awak-
ened the membership thoroly to the
right wing danger. Discussions are
carried on in the Party units based
on critical reviews of the past work
of the units and the local Party
organizations, and also on the basis
of the Central Committees state
ment concerning the right danger
and Trotskyism.
The General Membership Meet
ing of the Anthracite Subdistrict,
District 8, Workers Party, held Nov.
20, 1928, passed the following reso-
luton by unanimous vote:
eve endorse the expulsion of
Cannon, Abern, Shachtman and the
other Trotskyites from our Party
and pledge our fullhearted support
to the Communist International and
the Central Executive Committee in
it's struggle against the right dam
ger and its crassest, open social
democratic manifestation.
"This danger, coming at a time
when our Party is carrying on its
work under difficult objective con-
ditions, when the attacks against
our Party and the pressure upon the
workers is becoming stronger every
day, must be fought energetically
by us. Those who are supporting
the Cannon-Lore- Eastman counter
revolutionary, anti Communist COM
bination, shall be expelled from the
Party. No tolerance can be per-
mitted to the agents of the class
enemy within our ranks.
1.-THE membership meeting, after
discussing our past activities in the
Anthracite, has to point out that
here, too, right wing deviations were
committed during the past year,
such as serious mistakes in united
fronts, a hesitation and capitulation
before difficulties, insufficient at
tention to build the Party through
various forms Of struggles, ETC., but
these right wing mistakes were
recognized and corrected with the
help Of the Gee.
"In this difficult period, when
our Party is subject to attacks from
all sides, it is the duty of every
comrade to give full support to the
Gee, to build the leadership of the
CT by fully accepting its decision,
