Politicians Discuss Walls h

Washington, May 5.-R-Tha
impending Hoover-Watson battle
for 1ndiana's delegates to the Re-
publican convention was of second
ary interest to Washington political
observers today as a result Of i'm
portant developments forging to the
front in Democratic ranks.
Withdrawal Of Senator Walsh Of
Montana from the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
the decision of Senator Reed Of Mis-
souri, to continue in the fight, and
the significance Of a half-hour po-
litical conversation between Sena-
tor Borah, Republican, Idaho, and
Mrs. Glenn Shaver, wife Of the chair
man of the Democratic national
committee-all were subjects of
lively discussion among those look
ing forward to the big conventions
next month.
Meanwhile, the new senatorial
campaign expenditures investigat-
ing committee moved forward with
its preparations for starting Mon
day the examination Of the first
group Of IA presidential candidates
as to their preconvention money out
lays. The committee also was ex-
pected today to make public the ac-
ceptances to appear it already has
received from nine Of the candi-
dates.
Senator Walsh, perhaps best
known as the prosecutor Of the SEN
ate oil investigation, formally with
drew from the race yesterday with
the declaration that the results OF
the California primary "quite clear
" indicate that the Democrats de-
sire Governor Smith as their candi-
date"
Reed Scores Walsh
Reed, who ran second to Smith in
the California scrap, was quick to
follow Walsh's announcement with
the statement that he would carry
on his campaign to the finish.
:. The Missouri senator said he only
wished the Montanan had arrived
at his decision "before he muddled
the waters by entering the Califor-
mia primary"
Apparently directing another ver-
bal dart at Walsh, Reed added:
IF I were q general in q war l
would not surrender my army be-
cause I had lost a skirmish."
Walsh's announcement was made
public after q visit to Walsh's Of
flee by William G. McAdoo, leader
Of the Montanan's California drive,
but friends Of the former secretary
Of the treasury said this meeting
had nothing to do with Walsh's deci-
sion as it was reached beforehand.

With fair skies and a fast track,

In the preliminary events this

Realistic Analysis and Hard Work.

Realistic Analysis and Hard Work.
WHAT the movement needs in this
period is calm analysis of things
as they are, slow, hard, constructive
work on the basis of the opportunities
which present themselves and on the
basis of the difficulties which we face.
The work is not so dramatic, it does
not rush from one big success to an
other, but there are plenty of oppor-
tunities for work on a realistic basis.
Opportunities for Work.
We must neither exaggerate the
stability and strength of American
capitalism nor under estimate them.
We must recognize the difficult con-
ditions which we have to face for
work and at the same time we must
recognize the tremendous opportuni-
ties that the situation in the United
States presents to US, particularly in
view of the fact that the field is vir-
tually abandoned to us, that there is
no other movement in the United
States pretending to be revolutionary,
that the bureaucracy has openly aban-
doned the class struggle and the lead
ership of the socialist party has OPEN
ly become a tail to the bureaucracy
in the American Federation of Labor,
that in all America we are the only
clear voice speaking for labor party,

Tremendous Role of Communist
Party.
Once the conditions are grasped as
they are and tactics properly develop
ed on the basis of them, it becomes
clear that the Communist movement
in America has tremendous role to
play in the organizing of the working
class industrially and politically, in
the saving an Strengthening of the
unions, in the organization of the I'M

ing class, both native and foreign
born, in the organization and develop
ment of our class forces, in the build
ing of party and the raising of its
theological level and the strengthen
ing of its influence among the Amer
lean masses.
In viewing critically opportunism
and ultra-leftism, in the opposition
ranks of the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union, it is necessary TO elm
mate any tendencies to ultra-leftism
and opportunism in our own move
ment. This is one of the important
lessons we can learn from studying
the problems of the controversy in
the Communist Party of the Soviet
Union.

The program of the opposition and

questions will be analysed in detail
in future articles. This article want
to close by drawing some lessons for
the American workers from the above
matters.
A Lesson for American Workers.
WE live in country where capital
I" ism is still very powerful.
We cannot even speak of stab
ilization of capitalism" in America
because American capitalism was not
at any time so shaken as to be called
unstable" in the sense that tottering
European capitalism was. In fact,
America is today the biggest reserve
source of, strength for world capital
ism, and it was largely on the basis
of American loans and American aid
that sterilization was accomplished
IN the European countries.
This does not mean to say for a mo-
ment that American capitalism is Sc
cure for all time, or that it does not
face serious contradictions in it's fur
Their development. But for all it's
weaknesses and contradictions, what
stands out at the present moment is
its visible strength and power.
Being a Communist in u. S.
In such period as this, it is not
easy to be Communist in America.
Those who are not generators of
revolutionary energy, those who lack
faith in the development of the revo-
lutionary movement and in the GER
tainty of ultimate victory, those who
lack the ability to do hard, steady I'M
dramatic detail work, the slow build
ing OF the foundation of movement,
are of little use in the American re-
volutionary movement today.
Such elements here also react in
one OF two ways. Some of them give
way to pessimism, skepticism and des-
pair, in which case they often drop
out OF the movement altogether.
Others propose to give up the revo-
lutionary tasks of the movement and
to adopt an opportunistic program.
Or they close their eyes to the actual
objective situation in the country, and
live with their imaginations in the
European situation instead of at
tempting to grasp realistically the
American situation and adapt their
program to it. Such comrades may
make all sorts of ultra-leftist propo-
sails, which might be in order if con-
ditions were as they are in the more
advanced European countries, but
which are dangerous and worse than
useless here in America.

CURTIS And EDGE
LEAD FIELD FOR
VICE PRESIDENT
Choice of Hoover Running
Mate NarroWS; Fuller
Mentioned.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, May 8. - The
prospect of a Hoover Smith presi-
dental battle has narrowed the
Republican vice presidential race to
virtually three men, in the opinion
OF many G. o. P. leaders.
The trio most prominently mem
TONED because of the supplemental
strength they would contribute to
a Hoover ticket opposed by Smith
are Senator Curtis of Kansas, Sen
ator Edge of New Jersey, and Gov
ernor Alvin T. Fuller of Massa-
chusettS. The latter's chances are
not SO bright as they seemed a few
months ago, but his friends are
working hard for him.
Farmers for Curtis
Curtis claims for the vice pres
idential nomination rest in the
belief he would aid the ticket il
farm states, where Hoover is sup
posed to be weak. AS Senate leader
the Kansan has stood by the admin
dstration except for his support O.
the McNary- Haugen measure. This
is counted on to appeal to dis
gruntled agriculturistS, and it is not
held against him at the White
House because of farm sentiment in
his State.
Edges friends maintain he would
bring more elements of strength to
a Hoover headed slate than any,
body else, especially against Smith.
They believe his wetness might help
to keep New Jersey in the Repub-
lican column, and also win favor
among vets in such Eastern States
as Delaware, Maryland and Massa-
chusetts.
Moreover, it is pointed out that
Edge would be perfectly satisfac-
tory to certain financial interests
said to look aSkance at Hoover. In
fact, Daniel Pomeroy, New Jersey
national committeeman, has can
vassed the Wall Street district and
received a general o. K. for Edge
The latter also is a party man, and
his selection might reconcile old
line politicians supposedly cool to
the cabinet member.
Fuller Loses Strength
AS between Edge and Curtis, the
choice might depend on whether
party tacticians decided it was more
vital to cater to the wet and con-
sentative east or the disconnected
farmers.
F'uller's vice presidential move
ment has lost some strength in the
last few weeks, largely because of
Edges growing prominence. The
Bay State Governors part in the
Sacco- Vanzetti affair, the GOODNESS
between him and certain Admins
tration representatives and his rec
ord of political irregularity are cited
rs arguments against his selection.
