destroy the very trade unions of this
country, with the unemployment that

naked imperialism that is spreading
out to every corner of the earth--our
pariy has a great task to perform.

labor movement today that defends
Aha interest of the workers that

TheyGoto "Get"
SANDING
By VIM. PICKENS.

The U. S. has been boasting all over
the front pages of daily papers about
the number of "direct hits" which the
bombs of it's war planes were max
ing on Sandino's men. And then,
just as soon as Sandino's soldiers Tor
bandits" a la New York Times)
made one "direct hit" on a few of
our marines, yell like hell-fire and
send off a great force of armed boats
and men to seek out and destroy
those Internal devils who have no re-
spect for the lives of soldiers who had
been sent there on harmless mis-
sion to kill Nicaraguans, especially of
the SANDING crowd.
The poor "simp" who wrote: Fright
makes might" simply ought to have
been put in the insane asylum, just
like the fellow who put his coat on
backwards. For it is plain that might
makes right! See how much more
of crime it is for the weak to kill
soldiers of the mighty than for. the
mighty to kill soldiers of the weak.
SANDING is in his own country and
would doubtless behave himself there
so far as the U. S. is concerned, if she
would let him alone. U. S. soldiers,
on the other hand, are thousands of
miles away from home, hunting San
dino, as if he were "big game"
Lindbergh was just about to make a
good impression for U. S. in Latin
America, when here comes the mill
tary outfit and spoils it all.

Why Workers Should join"

preached in an abstract manner. AS
a rule when comrade tries to re-
cruit new members he thinks of the
whole working class-at least, OF his
entire union or shop, with the result
that he embraces the whole working
class and succeeds in getting nlne
into the Party. Comrades must Learn
to approach this question in a con
crete manner.
Namely, the comrades in the fac
tories, unions, fraternal organizations
must make list of the various SYM
pathizers to be approached for mem
bership.
Some are not yet ready for mem
bership and should be approached only
with literature and for subscriptions
to The DAILY WORKER.
Those that are ready for member.
ship should be divided up among the
comrades in such manner that those
chat have the best possible contacts
with certain sympathizers shall be as
signed to so after these sympathizers
Synpathizers and those who are
ready to join the Party can be found
out thru the selling of our literature
pamphlets, discussions in the fac
tories on current questions Of in
terest to the workers, etc. Every
Party member is to concentrate on
one or more individuals, learning all
about his personal life, his prejudices,
his illusions, so that he can overcome
these prejudices and illusions and
know what prevents the said worker

THE Central Executive Committee of

2. Fight against the injunction.
8. To fight for the protection of

How to Regain Old Members That
Dropped Out During the
Party Reorganization
By Fred Ellis

Party Reorganization
MANY members who dropped out
during the reorganization can be
taken back into the Party. These
comrades dropped out because of
language difficulties or because they
could not understand the reorganiza-
ton and other reasons.
They can best be gotten back thru
the language fractions and trade
union fractions because most of them
belong to clubs together with other
Party members and in the various
trade union groups. Our language
fractions and trade union fractions
must pay particular attention to the
drawing in of these members who
dropped out by personal visits, thru
personal conversation, and other
methods to be worked out.
