underground conditions when the
contingency arises, must be under
taken now.
p. Make preparations for guar
anteeing the proper functioning of
the leading bodies of the Party, of
the communications apparatus of the
Party press, in the event of the nee
essity arising for going strictly
underground.
While never for a moment ceas-
ing to utilize all available legal pos
sibilities, the Communist Parties
must already at the present time,
devote the greatest energy and at
tention to these tasks. If they fail
to do this the persecution that must
set in at the moment of the out
break of war,-a foretaste of which
we have already in number of
countries today-will inevitably de-
stroy the Party organization, and
with it, the principal base of the re-
volutionary struggle against war.
Organize Masses Against War.
II. The Communist Parties must
bend all their work to the central
task of preparing, winning over and
organizing the masses for the strug-
gle against imperialist war. The
struggles of the proletariat and of
toilers generally against the inten-
sification of exploitation and oppres-
sion-in matters of wages, the work
ing day, taxes, rent, social services,
political disfranchisement, victimiza-
ton and the intensification of the
fascist menace-must not be con-
fined to the demands arising out of
these struggles, but must be linked
up with the determined struggle
against imperialist war policy.
All the important questions of
foreign policy, of ornaments, of the
introduction of new weapons of war
etc., must be brought before the
masses of the workers and utilized
for the organization of revolutionary
mass action. In this struggle, the
Communist Party, giving due and
sober consideration to it's strength,
must march boldly and determinedly
at the head of the masses. 1t must
organize demonstrations and strikes
against the war policy OF the inn
perialist bourgeoisie and, at the
proper moment, put to the masses
the question of the general strike
and Of still sharper methods of strug-
gle.

U. S. Rubber Engineer
Gloats Over Skill in
Exploiting Sumatrans


PORTLAND, Oregon, Dec. 25.-
Bringing story of competition with
the British and Dutch rubber trust
in its own home plantations, Mr..
F. S. Carpenter, of the engineering
department. of the U. S. Rubber Co.,
arrived here yesterday from an in
spection of the 10000 acres the
company has planted to rubber trees
in Sumatra.
Carpenter is very enthusiastic
about this phase of American i'm
rerialism. In an interview today he
said:
"In this connection American bust

American energy in turning every

Nowadays, wars increasingly wars of
machinery and raw materials The growing resist
ance to American Imperialism in Latin America
must be smashed, to pave the way for further en-
slavement We all know of the "Big Stick" policy of
Roosevelt. When Hoover goes down for "peace and
friendship" he is going down for exploitation and
war Wall Street is already thinking of active
mobilization of all its resources against Latin Amer
lea and against Europe. In Europe, it is meeting
stronger and stronger competition. The screws must
therefore be frightened in Latin America
This brazen and monumental gall of the American
lmperlalists shown in the Hoover trip to Latin
America, comes to head in Coolidge's Armistice

C. I. Congress Decisions on
TrOtskyism

The Daily Worker herewith prints the de-
cisions of the recent 9th World Congress of
the Communist international on the interna-
tional Menshevst Opposition. The attention
Of its readers is drawn to the timeliness of
these decisions in connection with the active
campaign the Workers (Communist) Party
is waging against the American opponents
of Trotskyism-Cannon and his fellow rene
gades.
Decision in the Case of Trotsky, Sapranov, etc
Having examined the declaration of Trot-
sky, Sapranov and other members of the
Opposition expelled from the C. P. S. U.
and now applying for reinstatement the VI.
World Congress of the C. ]. resolves:
l. The World Congress fully approves the
decision of the XIV. Party Congress of the
c. P. S. U. and the resolution of the TX.
PIenum of the E. c. C. l. concerning the in
compatibility of adherence to the Trotskyist
Opposition and the propaganda of its views
with the membership of the Bolshevik Party.
In its views on questions Of the programme,
policy and organization the Trotskyist group
has sunk to the position of Menshevism and
effectively has become an organ of strug-
gle against the Soviet Power Therefore,
their expulsion from the C. P. S. U. was
proper and inevitable.
2. The declaration submitted by the ex-
PEELED members to the World Congress is
fresh proof that Trotsky and the handful
of his followers who, unlike the overwhelm-
ing majority of the former opposition, re-
fuse to submit to the conditions laid down by
the XIV Party Congress, are continuing their
struggle, their disruptive work and their
slanderous campaign against the c. P. S. U.
and the proletarian dictatorship. The Con-
gress considers it superfluous to discuss with
the enemies of the C. l. the counter-revou-
tionary political content of the Trotskyist
platform, after the mass of the membership
of all the Communist Parties has repeatedly
and resolutely rejected their point of view.
8. The VI World Congress endorses the
decision of the XIV Party Congress of the
G. P. s. U. on the expulsion of the Trotsky-
lists. 1t is of the opinion that the measures
taken subsequently against the leaders of
the opposition were dictated entirely by re-
volutionary necessity and rejects the appli-
cation of Trotsky, Radek Sapranov and the
other expelled members for reinstatement
in the Party.

3. The World Congress therefore resolves
to reject the application for reinstatement
made by Maslow and Ruth Fischer and to

A. At the same time the World Congress
approves the declarations made by the c. c.

account of their adherence to the Trotskyist

Resolution on the Case of Suzanne Girault
and Others.
Suzanne Girault, expelled from the Com

anti-Communist conduct and for her fac
tional activities, together with small group
that published the Opposition organ "Leninst
Unity" has made application, jointly with
number of her political friends, for re-instate-
ment in the Party.
In view of the fact that Suzanne Girault
and her political friends continue stubbornly
to adhere to their former oppositional po-
litical platform, refuse to admit their errors
and deviations and to condemn the interna-
tional fractional struggle carried on by tie
Opposition, and particularly in view of their
refusal to admit the correctness of the de-
cisions of the VIII. and TX. Plenums of the
E. c. c. 1. and the XIV. Congress of the

the present Congress, the VI. Congress re-

Dual Organization Is
Price of Treason

BLOOMINGTON, H., (By MaiD -
The dual Organization formed in
northern Illinois last week is due to
the fact that either the officials of
Sub-district 1 and District II do not
have the proper understanding. of the
situation or they are "misleaders of
labor"
The large scale production of the
southern Illinois coal mines together
with the competition of the cheap la
Dor coal Of Kentucky and other nom
union fields have been slowly taking
the markets of the northern coal
fields Of Illinois. A few small mines,
like Mimonk, who sell most of their
output in Normal and Bloomington
thirty miles away and the rest to the
railroads, Verona mine that has a
railroad contract, and the two mines
at Peru and LaSalle that use coal at
their zinc industry which is in con-
junction with the coal mine, are the
only ones which have been operating.
So some six mines work while the rest
lay idle.
The operators of the idfe mines
say, owe viii seal the mines up, we
will close them forever, unless you
take reduction in wages" Their Of
fer is $500 to the day labor under
ground and $500 or less on top. The
loader Qong wall system) is to re-
ceive $t.20 per ton, with several modi-
fications for dead work '~'.'
The board members and officials. Of
Sub-district /, seeing that the men
were in favor of taking a reduction
in wages, called a mass meeting at
Spring Valley May s to urge the men
to vote against the operators pro-
posal. About thirteen hundred miners
from the northern field attended. The
two board members gave lengthy dis
cussions, emphasizing the point that
the men would be thrown out of the
organization if they voted to go back
to work at reduction, but offering
no solution for the crisis in the north
ern coal fields.
When the meeting was opened the
chairman stated that anyone would
be given an opportunity to express
But the bulldozing methods
used by them inundated the men
from expressing any contrary opinion
This is an example of how the leaders
have been coercing instead of coop
Grating with the men.
A vote was taken the next day
Wednesday, at Cherry, Spring Val
ley and Ladd, and the miners voted
to take a reduction So a dual or
ganization is formed, known as the
Northern Illinois Coal Miners, and
Fishwick, instead of attempting to
bring peace to the northern field, says
that dual organization cannot exist
within the U. M. w. A. and expels
them.

The start was hard one. for. this

not to antagonize the parents, and the

them closer to our movement.
The Parent Councils are not onlv
important as auxiliary organizations
to the Pioneers, but also as one of

The activities of the Pioneers are
reflected upon the Parent Council
When the Pioneers decided to build a
camp, to organize classes, the Parent
Councils have helped them to carry
thru these resolutions. And when
the Pioneer movement grows into it's
natural functions, organizing masses
Of children in the schools and directly
participating in the struggles of the

the activities of the Parent Councils
which will be there to encourage and

according to dispatches from the
province. The immediate cause Of the
outbreak has not been disclosed.
While the announcement has not
been confirmed, it is believed that the
government has given secret orders
to rush troops to the affected areas.
The official silence is doubtless owing
to fear of a repetition of the insurrec-

IF the G. E. B. persists in carry

membership can have no other alter
native than to enter into a militant
struggle for the preservation of our

To Appeal Decision
eve hereby appeal to our next
Convention against the unauthorized
and detrimental decision of the G. e.
B. for the disbanding Of Local 43.
"Since the decision is for the dis
banding of the local, the appeal must
serve as a stay of the decision. The
privilege granted us by the constitu-
ton to appeal to the convention would
be entirely useless if the decision
should in the meantime go into effect.
The disbanding Of the local would
leave nobody to carry the appeal to
the convention, and in case of favor
able action by the convention on the
appeal, the damage done by carrying
out the decision could no longer be
repaired. We accordingly request
that the G. E. B. shall hold the de-
cision in allegiance and shall take no
action that will in any way be harm
full to the integrity of our local until
the next convention has acted upon
our appeal"
