he Communists and the Negro

under conditions in which the ruling
class will precipitate another armed
conflict, this time between the work
ers, farmers and Negroes against
the capitalists and their lackeys.
We must therefore prepare our
selves for this inevitable clash by
joining the ranks of the Workers
Communist Party so as to steel our
selves for the historic role we will
be called upon to perform.
Bosses Fear Only Reds.
The Communist Party is the only
section of the labor movement that
is feared by the bosses.
The exploiters, are continually
preaching about the "red" so as to
poison the minds of the colored
workers. But we cannot be so easily
deceived by these gentlemen" who
used us in the last imperialist war
to increase their profits and to en-
slave the colonial peoples including
black Haiti and Liberia.

Task of Party.

IT is the historic task of our Party
to break this strangle hold
which the imperialist and industrial
lords of this country are trying to
get around the necks of the work
ers. Our speakers and papers must
never tire of exposing this attempt
of the forces of reaction to ham
string and cripple the members of
our class. They must not succeed
in the designs they have in leading
the workers into the swamps of the
employers under the guise that they
have their god at heart. We must
expose them and show them up for
what they are and let the workers
look at their fascist faces from
which we have stripped their masks
of responsibility. We must make
it our duty to strip them and make
them stand naked before the work
ing class. When we do this and let
the workers see the fascist forces
of the masters backing and helping
them in their nefarious work then
we know we can leave them to the
wrath which comes from a be-
trayed and sold out working class.
Fascism must not be allowed to
prevail in this country. We must
fight it, expose it and destroy it.

at its national presidential con-
vention.
The program of the party dealing
with the Negro problems stands out
as a historic document. No other
party except a truly revolutionary
one could dare adopt such a pro-
gram.
The republicans, democrats and
socialists are traitors, oppressors
and enemies of the Negro race. The
Communists alone are worthy of
consideration and support.
Our condition under the present
social order can only be changed
through militant struggle by the
broad masses. We might as well
realize this, for just as freedom
from the system of chattel slavery
was achieved thru a revolutionary
struggle the Civil War, an armed
conflict between the capitalists of
the North and the landlords of the
South, in like manner freedom from
wage slavery will be achieved only

Blasting a Pet Theory.

WHAT Mr.. Baker has to day can
F." be endorsed by any MARKHAM
revolutionist. Marxians have been
saying this for many years. 1t is
interesting to note also that in
justifying his position, Mr. Baker
felt it necessary to burn some pow
der under a pet school-room theory
of the professors of economics. For
true perception of what is taking
place it is necessary to clear the
mind of the familiar economists
dictum that general overproduction
is impossible because there is no
limit to human wants. Neither
this conclusion nor the assumed
basis for it is valid in this present
economic world. 1t is not true that
everyone wants unlimited quantities
of anything-with the exception of
money and leisure. And even if
everyone did, the bounds of econ
mically possible production are set
by the economic swapping power of
the individual whose wants can
never be satisfied. The advance of
machine production and the manage
ment thereof are steadily reducing
what the great mass of individual
workers have to give in an economic
swap of service for goods"
The MARKHAM will find things to
quarrel with here's But what Mr.
Baker means by dwindling swap
ping power is simply the growing
inability of the worker to buy back
sufficient amount of the COM
modities he produces to keep him
in a job and that the less he is able

The Exploited Will Not Be Silent.
AND what about the workers, the
"A ones who suffer most sharply to
such a progressive economic YER
tigo? Might they not have some-
thing to say about how long they
will put up with the evils such o
prospect forces upon them?
And what about the Nicaraguans
and Chinese and Filipinos who will
be used to as colonial slaves in the
frantic struggle to keep capitalisms
head above water sat home"? They
will also have something to say.
1t is very gloomy picture that
Baker paints. But he left out
many gloomier touches-for capt.
talists to look at.

Capitalism is far too complicated
a process. Mr.. Baker sees only the
economic aspects. If he sees them
correctly does not make him i'm

others. 1t may not be in his line,
but it is certainly in the line of the
Communist to take everything into
account.
The situation that Baker has por-
trayed to occur ten years from now
is patiently one under which capital
ism cannot continue to exist. Ten
million unemployed will stop the
machinery of capitalism enough to
project a revolutionary situation.
