TT WON'T BE LONG NOW BEFORE
TWO ARE INJURED IN
 ACCIDENT ON HIGHWAY

When an Essex supersix sedan, driven by Lee Pulver, went over afl embankment near Aux Lake on Glacier Highway last night, James M. Longhurst suffered injuries of an undetermined extent and MT pulver was cut about the head and face and severely shaken up. Longhurst was taken to St. Ann's Hospital.
 It is possible he has internal in- juries, in addition to a cut and badly bruised head, and a general shock to his system, said Dr. L. P. Dawes who was called to attend both men, There was no evidence of fractured bones and Longhurst had no temperature either last night or today. He was unable to use his left arm and hand, but pr. Dawes was of the opinion that this was merely temporary.
 The accident occurred on the turn in the highway just north of the bridge at the outlet of Aux Lake. The men were returning to town. The machine skiddeo off the roadway and turned over twice, coming to a standstill in an upright position. It was badly damaged. Pulver, unable to move Longhurst, made his way to the road and was driven to town by a passing motorist. An ambulance was sent out to bring in Longhurst

A New Stage in Party Development.

THE publication the Manifesto the Central Committee
of the Party the Address of the Communist Inter-
national and the article by Max Bedacht Mobilize for
Better Party marks stage the development of
Party This is the stage of growing Bolshevization.
The unanimous decision of the Political Committee in
adopting the Manifesto for the unconditional acceptance and
carrying out of the Address of the Communist International
gnazes the beginning of the campaign to Boshevze the
Party along the line of the Sixth World Comnter Congress-
1t marks the launching of vigorous fight against all those
who opposition the decisions of the Sixth Congress-
and to the Open Letter to Sixth Party Congress and the
Address to the Party Membership.
The Bedacht article ypfes the kind of Party dis
cusso secrtcsm and the admission of free from
the leash of group loyalty, that will help the whole Party
throw off completely the incubus of factionaism all
problems and tasks from the standpoint of quickly overcoming
the Partys difficulties and Transforming it in the shortest
possible time from propaganda organization into
Communist Party every respect integral and function
ing part of the Communist International.
The Manifesto is significant in that it differs funda-
mentally from all previous accepances by the Party of Com
intern decisions Previous decisions especially they
lated to the liquidation of faconas, have been accepted
but not carried out. This will not be denied The Party
accepts and also begins carry out the demand for ending
of all factonalsm. It will succeed in this major task.
The Party discussion itself will be one of the best
weapons of struggle not only against those who may openly
oppose the decisions of the comntern but also against any
concealed opposition, which also be Analysed exposed
and destroyed wherever it appears.
Every comrade by carefully studying the material that
has been published that will appear day day dur
ing the period of the discussion and by actually participating
in the discussion will fully realize that the Party entering

II. Historical Develop

THE same social forces which
created the labor problem, pre-
cipitated the race problem. The de-
velopment of the commercial and in
dustrial capitalist profit-system, not
only appropriated the European
masses from the land, and brought
into being a class of laborers pos
sessing only their labor-power and
exploited by the owners Of capital.
1t caused also the expansion of
European capitalists and freebooters
into Africa, Asia and America and
the plumber, enslavement and pro-
scription of the aboriginal races of
these continents. AS Marx graphic
ally puts it; "The discovery of gold
and silver in America, the extirpa-

ton, the beginning Of the conquest
and looting of the East Indies, the

Workers and Soldiers
Fight Against Imperial War

American workers, white ant
Negroes, must protest against thi!
brazen betrayal of Green and Com
pany.
Negro Workers Beware!
In the last war about quarter Of
a million of black men were mobil.
lied and carried to France to fight
for the American bankers and bosses
who stayed at home and while these
colored troops were fighting, made
millions upon millions of dollars OF
profits.
The colored workers were fooled
in 1917. They were told that they
were fighting for Liberty, Dem.
ocracy and Equality, but when the
war was over and they returned tt
America, the government, which is
controlled by the capitalists did moth
ing to stop lynching, Jim-Crowism
segregation and race prejudice. In
stead of things becoming better, they
are getting worse and worse every
day for the Negro and the working
class.
America is not only robbing the
Negro at home, but has even gone
and taken away the last two indie
pendent Republics controlled by
Negroes: Haiti in the West Indies
and Liberia in Africa.
Don't be Fooled.
Now, in view of these things
Negro workers must not permit
themselves to be made fools again
No! thousand times no! They
must wake up and learn lessons from
the past. They must fight against
the plans of the capitalists to draw
them into future wars. They mus
turn the next war into a Civil Wal

organize side by side with the mill.

sense to fight against race prejudice
and for the full social, political, ant
economic equality of all races.
There is only one party in the
United States that is doing this
and that is the Communist Party ant

Communism is the movement Of
the working class and the oppressed
colonial peoples, in China, India

By GEORGE PADMORE.

Amidst all the empty babbling
about peace and peace plans, the i'm
perialist countries of the world are
arming today as they never did be-
fore in preparation for the next
world war, which will be slaughter
that will make the last one pale into
insignificance.
The American capitalist govern
ment is now spending billions of
dollars on ornaments. Bigger and
bigger battleships are being built,
air fleets increased, and military for
ces strengthened. Yet we hear much
talk about the Kellogg peace" Pact
and Disarmament" Conferences.
A few weeks ago the nations of
the world met at Geneva to discuss
ways and mean to absolish war. The
Representatives of the Soviet Union
proposed the abolition of all armies
and navies as the best guarantee of
peace. The capitalist nations, like
American, England, Japan and
France refused. Why? Because
these countries depend upon the
armies and navies to keep the work
ers in subsection and to rob the small
and weak colonial peoples. They
also need armed forces to carry on
war among themselves, so as to win
new markets for the bankers and
millionaires, and to make war on
the Soviet Union, the first country
! in the history of the world to be
ruled by workers and peasants.
The latest maneuver on the part
of the capitalists and the military
jingoists has been to enlist the SER
vices of the officials of the Ameri-
can Federation of l. Dor who
through it's representative William
Green, openly came out endorsing
the war preparation measures of the
imperialists. This traitor of the
American labor movement, accom-
panied by his henchmen, visited
West Point, the U. S. Military
Academy, and there publicly declared
that the A. F. of L. will support the
Wall Street bankers in the forth
coming war. So pleased were the
militarists with the chauvinist speech
of this misleader Of the workers,
that they feted him and his lackeys,
and to further show their apprecia-
ton, RENTED all punishments and
confinements of the cadets.

The Problem Stated.

ONE of the most challenging social
" problems of America is the prob
lem of the oppressed Negro race.
The IL million descendants of the
Africans who were brought to
America as slaves are still victims
of rigid and brutal system of social
caste oppression which holds them
as an inferior servile class at the
bottom of capitalist society, ex-
plotted, degraded, and prosecuted by
the white imperialist master class
and by prejudiced whites of all
classes. The general emancipation
from chattel slavery which resulted
from the Civil War and which was
accomplished by the Thirteenth
Amendment to the constitution in
1865, just IS years ago, freed the
Negroes only from the thralldom of
being bought and sold as personal
property. The counter-revolution
of the shareholders was successful in
establishing new forms of slavery
and social subsection consonant with
the capitalist system of wage
slavery. Black codes, vagrancy laws.
peonage, systems of debt and con-
Wet slavery, disfranchisement, legal
discrimination and oppression, segre-
cation, social Ostracism, lynching
and mob violence-these are the
brutal means by which the Negro
masses are mercilessly exploited,
abused and repressed. From this
repression and the struggle of these
masses against it, there arises a pre-
JUDGED antagonism and hostility be-
tween the races which premeates the
whole social life of America and
which flares forth at its worst in
terrible and bloody race conflicts.
In every phase of life, in industry,
in politics, in school, press and
church, even in the labor movement
itself, this prejudice appears in a
very open and definite way.
This menacing situation of ex-
ploitation, prejudice and conflict
exists throughout the world where
ever capitalist Imperialism DOM
mates. 1t is at its worst in the
Southern states of the United States
and in the Union of South Africa.
In the colonies, in Africa and in the
West Indies, it is a powerful and
tremendous social force. Within the
so-called "home countries" of Europe
it exists though not to the same de-
gree as in the colonies. 1t is almost
absent in France where the declin-
ing man-power of this imperialist
power dictates a policy of better
treatment for the Negro. There is
only one country in the world to-
day where the Negro is treated as a
social equal in every sense of the
word, where he is welcomed as COM
rade and an honored brother-that
is in the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics where the system of CAPT
talist imperialism has been abolished
where the workers and farmers have
established their. own class govern
ment and where Communist So
ciety is being consciously con-
structed.
