now, it does nothing to educate and
organize them for the eventual revo-
luton. It's impossible programs Of
trying to reform capitalism amounts
in reality to a surrender to the pres
ent social system. Norman Thomas,
the nominee of the socialist party for
president, is in fact only camou-
flaged defender of capitalism, a dis
guised supporter of the present sys-
tenn of exploiting the workers. The
socialist party program tends to
break up all real militancy amongst
the workers. In more revolutionary
period it would express itself by the
most fragrant betrayal of the revo-
luton. This is amply proved by ex-
periences in Germany, France, in
every country in Europe. Had it not
been for the fragrant sellout of the
workers cause by the social demo-
cratic party, capitalism would have
been destroyed in Europe in the great
revolutionary struggles Immediately
following the world war.
The proletarian party and the So
cialist labor party are but phrase
mongering sects. They play no part
in the struggles of the working class.
Only the Workers (Communist)
Party offers a program capable of
organizing the workers for their
everyday struggles and to prepare
them for the revolution. I have al
ready given you some broad outlines
of this program. l shall not repeat
what l have already said. But must
emphasize one more phase of our
program. We must advocate ener-
getically and clearly in the present
campaign the formation of labor
party based on trade unions and other
labor organizations. So long as the
great masses of workers affiliate
themselves to follow the line of the
two capitalist parties, so long will
they be poisoned by capitalist propa-
ganda and so long will they be a
zero politically.
The Workers (Communist) Party is
the real fighter for the labor party.
The socialist party, the ally of Green,
Vol & Co., sabotages on all fronts
the fight for the labor party. The
Workers (Communist) Party makes
militant struggle to establish the
labor party. But our Party has not
illusions that the labor party will lead
the masses to their emancipation. 1t
will not. That is the task of the Com
munist Party. Inevitably a mass la

garding the two old parties is equally
true for the poor farmers. All that
the farmers can expect from the re-
publican and democratic parties is
support of the railroads, banks, meat
packers, elevator combines and var
ious other capitalistic interests rob-
bling the farmers. Coolidge's recent
.cold-blooded, sneering, sarcastic veto
of the McNary-Haugen bill shows the
contempt with which the republican
party, controlled by the great finan-
ciers of the country, looks upon the
demands of the farmers for relief in
their present crisis.
The socialist party is equally
blank so far as the workers and poor
farmers are concerned. The socialist
party, which carried the revolution
airy traditions in the United States
when the left wing was a section of
that party, now has nothing to offer
to the toiling masses but sellouts.
1t is an ally of the corrupt trade union
bureaucracy. It's policy of betrayal
expresses itself on both the political
and industrial fields.
On the industrial field the socialist
party makes no campaign for the or
ganization of the unorganized masses,
no struggle for amalgamation of the
old trade unions, no fight against the
widespread wage cuts and speed-up;
on the contrary it accepts the craft
union, class collaboration policy of
Green, Woll, etc., to company union
ize the trade unions. The socialist
trade union leaders, who are the
mainstay of the socialist party, are
part and parcel of the corrupt domi-
nant union leadership. They make no
fight against Green and Woll but war
to the death against the left wing.
against every Communist in the labor
organizations, against every element
trying to build the labor movement
and make it fighting weapon in the
interest of the workers. The socialist
party is hopelessly welded to the
trade union bureaucracy and its cor
rupt practices.
On the political field the socialist
party likewise makes no attack on
capitalism. The socialist party Gull
tivates amongst the workers everv
illusion and practice tending to
strengthen capitalism. It breaches
pacifism, class collaboration, parlia-
mentary opportunism, capitalist eff
cheney socialism. 1t makes no effec-
tive fight for the workers interests
