man of American imperialism. But Lovestone,
who not long time ago was a leader in the
Communie+ Party of America, so rapidly poll
tically degenerated into an advertiser of Amer
lean prosperity" This once more shows the
fate of all renegades who the moment they
tai the course AGAINST tn Party and the Com
munist International they inevitably land in
the camp of our enemies and become agents of
the bcurgeoisie.
However, life itself and the constantly de-
veloping contradictions Of American capital
ism, destroyed the myth of American "pros-
perity" and brought American economy into a
period of rapid developing crisis. Lovestone
and Hoover because of their role they have to
perform for capitalism refuse to disclose the
true s. uation But the developing contradic-
tions of capitalism so great, the economic
crisis is so evident, that the bourgeoise in
their desire to avoid it and impress their class
with the seriousness of the situation, are forced
to come out into the open concerning the pres
ent situation. The reactonary New York Eve
ming Post in an editorial of Nov. ~ says:
ITO tell the truth about situation like that
of yesterday (the stock crash of Nov II, L. P.)
may be dangerous. We do not think so. We
think today is far more helpful than seeking
to peddle a false optimism which nobody be-
lieves"
This is being said by stounch supporter
of the republican party and the Hoover regime
would not even go that far.

Buffalo Challenges District Is
(To Be COntinued.)

The District Buro of District A, at it's last
meeting, after a discussion on Party recruit
ing drive and the present situation in the
United States decided: () To order at least
five thousand of the Party Pamphlet, "Why
Every Worker Should Join the Communist
Party" (2) That every member of the Party
in the District be held absolutely responsible
for the sale or distribution of at least ten
comics of the pamphlets. (3) That every
Party member working in shops is held abso-
lutely responsible to get at least two workers
as members of the Party. (4) Each unit of
the Party is held responsible for the paying
and getting and distribution at given fac,
tory of $4,000 Copies of the New Party Leafl
let, "The Present Situation in the United
States"
The District Buro has loked for District
to challenge in this campaign and found that
our friend and neighbor, the Connecticut Dis
trict Is, has kept very silent in this drive,
therefore we wish to challenge District Is in
this membership drive as well as in literature
distribution.

Fralkin DenOunces LOvestOne
Group.

/ abstained from voting for the December
resolution at the general membership meeting
of District 2, because I felt at that time that
the characterization of the Lovestone group
as agents of Imperialism" was too sharp and
tended to antagonize number of comrades
who might otherwise have voted for the resolu-
ton, but who voted against it.
But even then, could not vote against the
resolution, because | was already convinced
that fight against our Party must result in
a help to the bourgeoise. However, still
harbored the illusion then, that some
comrades could be saved. In this | feel that
| have been mistaken, and therefore | was
wrong in abstaning.
Time has convinced me that these elements,
by the very logic of events, drifting far
Their and farther from the movement, and are
only aiding all enemies Of the movement.
Now | wish to state that | accept and en-
dorse all the decisions made by the Party and
the Comintern and consider them binding upon
me as a member; that | am not associated
and have not been associated with the Love-
stone group, but am against this group, and
that pledge to conduct a struggle to destroy
it.
The economic situation in this country, as
well as internationally demands iron discip
line from all members in order that we should
be able to fight the common enemy--the capt.
talist class.
All those who remain outside the Party at
this time are giving objective aid to our en-
emies. IRWIN FRALKIN.

IN the last two weeks there were made two
principal analyses on the stock market crash
and the economic situation in the United States
generally. One was the analysis of Lovestone
on the economic situation and the other one
was the statements of Hoover. The analysis
of Lovestone and Hoover are in very close
harmony with each other and effectively lead
in the same direction. In speaking of the
views of the Communist Party on the stock
market crash and its effect on American
economy, Lovestone said:
But the conclusions of the Daily Worker
that American imperialism is also beginning
its process of decline is just as wrong the
talk of the bourgeoisie that it can never hap
pen again" Revolutionary Age No. p
A few days later President Hoover in
statement to the press declared:
"Any lack of confidence in the economic fu-
ture of the basic strength of business in the
United States is foolish"
How similar the line is, how close is the
outlook of the imperialist Hoover and the rene
gade Lovestone. The spokesman of American
imperialism is ridiculing "any lack of conf
dence in the economic future of the U. S." and
Lovestone also considers it wrong to think that
American Imperialism is also beginning its
process of decline" There is no surprise in
the attitude of Hoover. The Communist Party
continuously exposed the role of Hoover. Every
class conscious worker today well understands
the meaning of the propaganda of the spokes-

Advantages of New Dues.
BY SAMUEL ETLER.

Financial Secretary Section l, District %
The new system of dues payments will be
an improvement. By disseminating the ever
lasting collections for the different auxiliary
organizations, Daily Worker Sustaining Fund,
rent etc, it will release number of func-
tionares for more political work. 1t will be a
great time saver, because more time could be
spent on political and educational matters,
whereas previously much time and energy was
spent in agitating and collecting funds for var
ious departments and tickets. The comrades
who attended regularly were taxed much more
than those who were not active in their basic
units. BY equally dividing the dues according
to income there will be less expense to the
active members.

THE depression in the cotton spinning section
throughout the South has left the workers
in the usual position of widespread misery,
want and unemployment as their share of the
inability of the capitalists to solve problems
any other way. The situation confronting the
southern cotton spinning section is no isolated
condition. 1t is part of the crises existing in
the textile industry throughout the world. The
crises of the world textile industry is only
reflection of the temporary nature of the
sterilization of the capitalist system and indi-
Gates clearly the world character of the CAPT
talist mode of production. When the equil-
ibrium is effected in section of the industry
the vibrations are felt throughout the industry,
shaking the stability of dependent industries
which in turn send vibrations through the
whole social structure.
The strike and lockout in England in the
textile industry, the struggle of the India iute
workers. the strike in Poland and the struggle
of the southern textile workers in series of
strikes and bloody struggles between the work
ers and the bosses, are the workers answers to
the intense naturalization inaugurated by the
textile bosses to enable them to compete more
successfully on the international market.
The imperialist groups controlling the whole
network of industrial activity through the con-
troll of financial capital are carrying this COM
petition to a higher stage.

DETROIT and surrounding automobile CEN
ters like many, many Northern industrial
cities has witnessed during the past few years,
a tremendous influx of Negroes, migrating
from the South, their number in Detroit at
present estimated to be around 100000. A
very large percentage is working in the auto
mobile factories, where, as everywhere else,
they are given the most mental and lowest
paid jobs. Jim Crowism in restaurants,
theatres, ETC. is common practice. They are
living under the most rotten housing condi-
tions. On several occasions those Negro work
ers have shown their readiness to carry on
militant fight against the intense economic and
racial discrimination When some time ago,
on the initiative of the Y.C.L., a street demon
stration was held as protest against the
lynching of Joe Boxley, the Negro workers
present actually prevented the police from
breaking up the meeting thru their militant
attitude forming protective Gordon around
the speakers.
The fact that in the face of this effectively
favorable situation, our district has only three
Negro workers in its ranks, is conclusive evil
dence of gross underestimation of the i'm
portance of this Party task. Never has the
District Buro seriously discussed Negro work,
never was this question discussed in the units.
AS chairman of the District Negro Committee,
the writer is to large extent responsible for
this neglect, especially for not sufficiently in
sisting on more intense activity in this field

THE Right danger is the most pronounced in
the language fractions of the Party, be-
cause these sections have been based upon the
old Federation system, acting independently of
the Party directives. Also the work of the
language fractions has consisted mainly of
problems in the fraternal organizations and
were not connected with the class struggle
The seriousness of the situation in the
language fractions in reference to the Right
danger can be easily seen from certain sit
uation in the Armenian fraction.
A group of comrades in New York, dsre-
garding the opposition of higher Party author
tiles to their proposal stubbornly unanswered
for the establishment of a bipartisan news
paper, which meant the suspension of the Party
organ. They openly and covertly sought to
close the Armenian Workers Club in favor OF
a club which was opened by fraternal Or
ganization (H.O.C) in opposition to the
Workers Club because the Club was under the
influence of the Party, which these comrades
opposed Due to their sabotage and intrigues
the Workers Club is now closed. These same
comrades opposed also the carrying out of the
Party line and propaganda in the same frater-
nal organization. Due to social democratic

organization of non-political character. The
curious part Of the situation is, that comrades
who follow a right wing policy are very care
full not to offend the backward elements in
this organization, yet are in favor of turning
over the celebration of Sovietization Of Ar

MCDANIEL CHAOS.

The textile industry, the highest mechan-
lied industry in the world on the one hand, and
its chaotic and decentralized condition on the
other with the general trend of Capitalization
and concentration in the capitalist system
sharpening the struggle between the imperial
list groups, brings to the fore the textile in
dustry on an international scale as a reflector
of the direction the system is travelling The
textile industry light industry producing
for the needs of relative capital lin the Marx
ian sense) has enabled the capitalist to meet
this crisis at intervals with attacks upon the
proletariat with less difficulties encountered
in the industries producing the means of pro-
duction. Such intense conflicts centered in the
Chinese textile industry in the 1924-27 period
used as safety valve for the industry as
whole, was enough to add considerable weight
to the forces struggling against the capitalist
exploitation. The condition of the Chinese tex
tile industry in the period of the Chinese revo-

of the industry internationally. The interna-

we are facing difficult task in ORIGINATING

Thus the inner-examinaton of the Right

alone, but continue the struggle and keep up
the theological campaign against the Right
danger in all spheres.

FIERCER STRUGGLE.

The concentration of capital increases the
intensity of the struggle between these groups.
This concentration solves the problem between
industrial sections formerly separate but does
not solve the fundamental contradiction the
capitalist system faces as long as the capitalist
mode of production prevails. This new stage
of competition on larger scale lays the basis
for intense naturalization, pulling in the cur
rent all sections striving to survive The new
giants pour forth commodities in untold guam
titles with production cost reduced through
naturalization and mechanzaton.
The overproduction formerly met as national
crises, become international crisis with
the disparity growing between the productive
forces and the markets. This is an unsolv
able contradiction under the capitalist mode of
productions; it can only be solved by the prole-
tarat under the leadership of the Communists.
Naturally the southern textile bosses are going
deeper into the swamp. The capture of new
markets today fades into the air tomorrow
and lowering the cost of production through
speed-up today brings overproduction tomor-

material and cheap labor power enabling the
British bosses to compete successfully on the
market. In 1926 there were 275 mills in India
with 8,2S6,202 spindles and 150,6S0 looms en-
ploying 324,600 workers. The jute industry
had 50,354 looms employing $4,000 workers.
The world war that gave impetus to in
creased production in the United States and
the establishment of many new mills in the
north, and especially in the South, effected the
industries of the warning nations. The post
war period saw a fast recovery in the textile
industry in Europe In 1927 France had $780,
900 spindles and $4,000 looms active in the
cotton section of the industry. Germany had
1928 mills with 100000 spindles. Poland had
2,437 1872 spindles Their home markets were
soon taken care of and with sharper fight
for markets, overproduction effected the in
dustry.
Italy and Japan can run their mills to the
capacity of five million spindles each. The
cotton industry of the British Island was ex-
porting 14S,700,OOO pounds value of cotton in
1927
In 1925 the textile industry of the United
States produced goods valued at SO, 122, 900.
This tremendous productive capacity of the
textile industry brought about through speed
up and stretch-out and the lowering of the liv
ing standard of the textile workers through
out the world, has resulted in overproduction.
Sections of the textile industry are periodically
curtailing production to meet this situation.
At the same time the process of naturalization
is increasing.
The textile bosses of the South meeting in
Spartanburg announce on the 18th of Novem-
Der that general curtailment will take place
throughout the South. Overproduction and the
Wall Street crash are connected with southern
section of the American cotton industry. The
textile bosses are trying to weather the storm
and save the individual mill through curtail-
ment

ONLY REVOLUTION CAN SOLVE IT.

The textile bosses have not solved the prob
lem of the textile ind They cannot solve
this problem separate apart from the in
creased difficulties encountered by the capt.
talists of the world and the forces of capital
ism making for war. Their temporary rene
dies are only to hold off the inevitable. The
only force capable of boldly remedying the
situation in the textile industry is the prole-
tariat. The reduction of the hours of work
and the abolition of the stretch-out are essen
tial to the continued welfare of the textile
workers But only when the textile industry
plans its extension and its production on So
calistic basis of production through the con-
troll of the proletariat will the textile industry
be able to remedy the constant difficulties en-
countered under the capitalist mode of pro-
duction.
AS long as the textile mills are owned by
the capitalists the workers have but one choice
to organize powerful industrial unions link
ing them up on international scale and COM
pei the textile bosses to reduce their hours, in
crease their pay and abolish the stretch-out
and child labor, and fight on the basis of the
class struggle.
