By ALBERT MOREAU.

The Communist Parties of the
world are now engaged, more than
ever, in an intensive struggle
against the war danger and the
concerted attack upon the Soviet
Union by the imperialist powers.
All the sections of the Comintern
are militantly leading the revolu-
tionary proletariat in this struggle.
The policies and tactics adopted by
the respective parties have a COM
mon basis arising out of the correct
analysis laid down by the VI World
Congress in the characterization of
the third period. This period is not
an exception in so far as it affects
the colonies and semi-colonies of
world imperialism.
&c. the intensification of inter-
nal antagonisms in capitalist coun-
tries (the swing to the left of the
masses of the working class, grow
ing acuteness of the class struggled J.,
and the wide development of Col
onial movements (China, India and
Syria), which are taking place in
this period, will inevitably lead
through the further development of
the contradictions of capitalist
stabilization-to capitalist stabili-
cation becoming still more precari-
Gus and to the severe intensified
ton of the general crisis of capt.
talism." (Theses of VI World Con-
gress)..
What does this Third Period mean
for the colonial and semi-colonial
countries? 1t means the accentua-
ton of the pressure on the working
masses and the growing conflict be-
tween the imperialist powers for the
domination of these countries. In
so far as the Latin-American coun-
tries are concerned, we observe two
phenomena, both leading rapidly to
|imperialist wars: (D the problems
arising out of the increased domina-
ton of imperialism directly infring-
ing upon the economic and political
life of ,..e Latin-American masses,
and (2) the transformation of these
countries into vast camp of inter-
national imperialist conflict, pri-
marily between the two imperalist
Lpowers: Great Britain and the
United States, the latter playing a
leading role.
1. The Latin-American colonies
and semi-colonies, under the pres
sure of imperialism, are forced to
adapt themselves to the necessities
of the internationally monopolized
markets. This hinders the normal
development of the national economy
and transforms them into virtual
dominions - dependencies, particu-
larly of United States imperialism
The method of capitalist penetration
far from suppressing the semi
feudal exploitation, accentuates il
and uses the most reactionary for
ces within the colonies for the re-
preston of the revolutionary move

LOS ANGELES (By MaiD "A
high school boy, Max Rosenstein, of
Los Angeles, has been denied his
diploma because of his membership
in the Communist Youth League.
Thomas H. Elson, of Roosevelt
High School, was the authority who
refused 70 grant the boy, leading
student in the school, his final grad

There has been no question of the
youths scholarship, the International

Leo Gallagher, the attorney for

recognized in the Boyle Heights dis
trict that any boy who is a member
of the League was not entitled to
graduation"
Preparations for civil action are
in full swing, according to Leo Gal
lagher, attorney for the l. L. D.
Gallabher, LID attorney, contends
that the school board has no right
to inquire into the olitical opinions
of students. The denial of the

dangerous precedent" in overriding

BERLIN, Aug. 4.-The extreme
goodwill of the German authorities
towards active ounter-revolutionary
spies, forgers and all-around crooks,
just revealed in the recent trial of
Orloff, Pavlonovski and Co. in Ber-
lin, finds a worthy counterpart in
the ferocious persecution by the
same German authorities of prole-
tartan political refugees who have
sought asylum in the 'freest republic
of the world" i. e. Germany. A
few cases will suffice to show that
this much-praised freedom is only
for political refugees who have won
their spurs in the fight against the
great republic of the workers, Soviet
Russia.
Sokolowski, political refugee
from Poland, registered as such at
police headquarters and provided
with a political refugee Identified
ton card was decoyed from his
lodging on false pretenses by two
police agents Tin order to prevent
his communicating with his friends)
taken to police headquarters and
from there in a closed car under
guard of two police officers to the
Polish frontier, where he was
handed over to the Polish police, al
ready informed of his arrival and
waiting for him. Sokolowski had
been arrested in Poland for political
offences and imprisoned in Polish
Jail, from where he succeeded in
escaping. There is not the least
doubt about his character as politi-
cal refugee. 1t was recognized by
the same police authorities who de-
livered him over to his enemies.
Gustav and Olga Grimm, a
married couple, are political re-
fugees from Lithuania. When Grimm
after much suffering at last sue
ceeded in getting work in Hamburg
a year ago, the social-democratic
Hamburg senate expelled him from
Hamburg on the ground that he had
been previously convicted. The
conviction" in question was a fine
for non-possession of a valid pass
port, as the Lithuanian authorities
had very inconsiderately neglected
to give him a passport when he es-
capped from the persecution. After
further privations and m er y
Grimm again contrived to find job,

vESTR|S CARRIED
290 TONS WATER
Captain Failed to Have
Ballast Tank Emptied

Further evidence of the criminal
negligence of officers of the Vestris,
the rotten Lamport & Holt liner,
which last November sank with 112
passengers and crew, is contained
in an admission made yesterday by
representative of he company that
the ship left her Hoboken pier carry
ing 290 tons of salt water in ballast
tank No. 2, which was never pumped
out.
1t is customary to pump this water
into vessel while cargo is being
loaded to give her stability. Soon
after she leaves port, it is the duty
of the captain to have the water
pumped out, as a result of which the
weight line gains five inches. 1t
was brought out at the investiga-
tons of the British Board of Trade
that Capt. William Carey, of the
Vestris, was so indifferent to the
safety of his crew and passengers
that he failed to give the orders for
pumping out the 290 tons of sea
water. This contributed materially
to the disaster.
Despite all the evidence uncovered,
neither the Board of Trade "investi-
cation" nor the alleged inquiries con-
Quoted in this country have fixed
criminal responsibility. AnG despite
the many pious recommendations
for reforms, there are any number
of hulks afloat today which are just
as leaky and unseaworthy as the
Vestris.

for the freedom of the 16 Gastonia
strikers and strike leaders.
The organization of the millions
of unorganized workers will be the
major task to be tackled following
the formation of the new trade
union center.
To Fight Speed-up.
The intensification of the speed
up, wage cuts and other attacks
upon the conditions of the workers,
not only in the shoe industry, but
in many other trades, including tex
tile, auto, clothing, marine, etc., has
increased the interest of thousands
of workers in the ~rthcoming Cleve-
land Convention.
Following the highly successful
Southern textile conference in Bes-
semer City, N. C. a week ago, plans
are already under way for a greater
conference in Charlotte to be COM
posed of delegates from every mill
in the South, to be held Oct. IL and
Is. This meet will map out definite
plans for the organization of thou
sands of Southern textile workers
who will present demands to the
bosses, and be prepared to back up
these demands by decisive action.
Marine Conference.
In the East, besides the conference
of the shoe and leather workers, the
Atlantic Coast Conference to be held
at the Seamens Club, % South St.

These conferences will also pick del

officialdom, misleadership and
graft"
After reviewing the history of the
various shoe unions, the call points
out how craft unionism has failed
miserably and tells of the imperative
need for an industrial union.
Shop committees in Binghamton,
Buffalo, Rochester, st. Louis, Gin
cinnati, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleve-
land, Chicago, as well as New York
are popularizing the call in the fac
tories, inasmuch as it will probably
be used as basis for conferences
to be held in other parts of the coun-
try.
Organization Drive.
A new organization is now being
launched by the Independent Shoe
Workers Union. Over 1000 new
members were taken in during the
last organization drive which ended
in May. There are over 5000 men,
bers in this group, militant union
to date.
Since May series of successful
strikes gained union recognition,
better wages, better conditions in SO
shops in New York City alone.
The Trade Union Educational
League, West 18th St., is daily re-
ceiving news of preliminary confer
ences being arranged throughout the
United States. All these conferences
will pick delegates to the Cleveland
meet, which will organize new
trade union center. At. the same
time it will push the attack on the
new imperialist war plans, urge the
defense of the Soviet Union, and call

arrest from his friends and relatives
so that they would lave free hand
to finish him off altogether. Fears
for his life were expressed by his
comrades and friends. And now they
have been justific,,. All traces of
Marganovich were lot during the
last few days. The police assert
that he hid never been imprisoned,
that he was released and that they
know nothing more about him. 1t
is believed that after being tortured
Comrade Marganovich was simply
killed in prison.
A telegram from the Zagreb CORE
spondent of "Rote Fahne," the Aus
TRAN paper, states that headless
body was recovered from the Saw
River. Doctors say that the dead
man was about twenty-five years of
age. That was the age Of Margan-
ovich.
Here is an example of how victori-
Gus reaction butchers its political op-
ponents! But the present black
guards in power should remember
that their victory is not for all time.
They can congratulate themselves on
this dastardly piece of work as long
as the revolutionary movement is
not triumphant. But when that hap
pens the workers will remember
their fellow workers martyred for
the sake of the revolution and will
sweep away the capitalist system
and all it's hirelings.

Gil of Working Women are proceed
ing at a greater speed than ever,

by the Central Executive Committee,
it was voted to pledge $500 for Gas

for the election campaign of the
Communist Party.
The Educational Committee is
preparing special plans to educate
and train the members to become or
ganizers and speakers for the class
struggle and to reach the great
mass of working women thru work
ers education.
The slogan for rdrther work is,
SIN every tenement kitchen fight
er for the workingclass, an enemy to
the capitalist class
Many leaflets and pamphlets will
be printed to educate the working
women, open-air meetings and lee
lures are planned for the coming
season.
On Saturday, August 18th beach

gram. All councils are invited to
this affair, and their cooperation is
