College Logic

Dean Redmond of City College, New York,
has banned all political parties from speaking
to students within college buildings till after
election.
Of course "ruling" must be found. So
one which is supposed to be "an amendment
to Section AZ, Paragraph XII of the Bylaws"
is quoted as follows:
Neither the college buildings nor the
grounds of the college shall be used for
meetings or assemblies or for any activity,
in the interest of one political party or re-
ligious sect or cult or for any propaganda
against the institutions, laws and established
public policies of the college, city, state, or
nation"
No one, not even those foolish enough to try
to "get an education at City College, can
fail to note that the ruling" does not bar
meetings for political parties in general, but
only those in the interest "of one" political
party So the deans general ban is not in
accordance with the ruling, but is in accord
ance with maintaining the political status quo,
by banning discussion of social change when
social change is on the order of the day.
But then what should one expect from a
college" that resembles penitentiary enough
to identify itself with established policies" of
city, state and nation?

VOLTS ''MonrOe Doctrine of
Labor" Strikes a Knot
By Jorge

The n-American Federation of Labor was
invented by Woodrow Wilson, who financed
Gompers in starting it as the "labor" wing OF
Yankee Imperialism, Matte Woll at San An
tonic some years ago getting the front page
by announcing Monroe Doctrine OF Labor.
But things are not so favorable. Inc
Monroe Doctrine" didn't take with Latin
American workers, and only fascist part OF
the Cuban unions, and the fascist Morones
leadership of the Mexican unions, gave even
nominal mass support to the Pan-Amerlcan
labor" imperialists.
It was due to hold a convention at Havana
last October, year ago, but its weakness, due
to the exposure of its policy by the revolu-
tionary Latin American Trade Union Confed-
Grafton located at Montevideo Uruguay, was
SO evident to the takers of the A. F. OF L..
they postponed" it,
Now, things haven't improved with time.
Morones of the Mexican reformist unions has
been playing around with British ''labor" and
might upset the Yankee bean pot by exposing
u S. imperialism at convention.
And then Cuba, where the convention is
scheduled now for January, is liable to be the
scene of battle and boodshed any time, and
while the beer there is good, the A. F. OF L..
takers don't want to find bullets in it.

ROBERT MINORS MESSAGE
TO NEW YORK WORKERS

same time the American Federation of Labor
convention which has become nothing more
than an auxiliary to the American Bankers As
ISOLATION, had its treachery brought to the at
tention of the workers only through the fact
that it had dubbed by the police masses of
Boston workers, who, led again as always by
the Communist Party, demonstrated their con-
tempt for the fascist organization and their de-
mand for work or wages.
Just last week the New York workers, led
by the Communist Party, very appropriately
invaded the dens of graft of capitalist govern
ment at the City Hall, where seven hundred
million dollars was being appropriated for the
city budget, to demand that the unemployed
should not be left to starve in the streets.
Only by means of the most bloody physical
combat is it possible for New York workers to
claim their right to be heard in the sacred
precincts of New York's capitalist government.
At least the cause of the American workers
was voiced, despite the crimes of violence COM
mitted by the Tammany thugs, under the per-
sonal direction of James J. Walker, the chief
dispenser Of graft of the City of New York.
In every battle of the American working
class, the Communist Party of the United
States, and only the Communist Party, proves
to be the unfailing leader. Those battles are
to be greater in the immediate future than
even before in history and the American work
ers' revolutionary party is far too small as
yet to guarantee the best success. The first
task of the American workers is to build the
Communist Party. Every member of our class
who permits another day to go by while he
or she remains outside of the Communist Par
ty, is committing an act of neglect and injury
to his class.
Build Revolutionary Industrial Unions!
Build the Communist Party of the United
States, section of the Communist International!
Without it you cannot conduct any struggle
whatsoever and without its becoming a strong
mass party, the American workers cannot win
their battles in the tremendous months to some.

leaders, and convention comes nearest doing
this. 1t has been urged that we have not the
money to cover the cost of convention.
"Now is the time for us to remember that
we are the socialists and stand ground.
We shall, no doubt, be put to severe test,
but if we are true to the principles of interna-
tional socialism we have nothing to fear and
we shall come out victorious in the end.

Nor can they convince the Negro workers
that "the Communist Party is white mans

emily answered that lie, by naming the Com

struggles for the Negro masses. The Com

Moreover, the history of the Jews and other
minorities in Russia since the proletarian re-
volution fully repudate the SANDER peddled
by the Negro reformist that the Communist
Party is only using the Negro workers to gain
power and will abandon them once that is
achieved. The Negro msleaders who spread
this SANDER ignore the Fundamental differ
ence between capitalism, which cannot exist
without social and racial oppression, and Com
munism which is based on full equality for all
workers nd the abolition of exploitation. They
forget that Soviet Russia gives concrete
demonstration Of this fundamental difference
in the freedom enjoyed by its minorites and
the firm stand of the Soviet workers against
race prejudice in any form.

(Read at the Mass Meeting at Madison

NV Very Dear Comrades:
cELDOM in my life have 1 wanted anything
of the kind so much as l want to be with you
tonight. This meeting marks the opening of
what may well prove to be the biggest winter
in working class history and in the history of
the world, since that of 1917, in which our
class went through the first stages of its Sc
verest test with its greatest triumph in the
foundation of the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics.
The whole capitalist world today presents a
picture of turmoil decay and preparations for
nlurderous violence in the effort to save itself.
The United States offers no exception but IS
rather sharp example of proof that the capt.
talist system has reached that stage at which
it has nothing to offer to the working class,
nor even to the ruined petty business classes,
except starvation, violent suppression and
misery.
Communists Lead Workers Struggle.
Six months ago the workers of New York
City, 100000 strong, under the leadership of
the Communist Party, demonstrated their de-
rands for relief from the miseries of unem-
ployment, and Whalen's cossacks beat them
down in savage and bloody repression. Sim
liar events occurred in other American cities
as they did throughout the world. All of the
violence and crime committed by the snug
American bourgeoisie has not succeeded in re-
pressing or weakening the spirit of the Amer
lean working class. Only few days ago the
head of the American Wall Street government
addressed a national gathering of bankers in
Cleveland, but the peace and calm of his BAN
ouet was disturbed by the splendid mass dem
onstration of the working class outside the
banquet hall, who again under the leadership
of our American Communist Party, reminded
these loathsome parasites that the demand for
work or wages has not yet been met. At the

m this anniversary of the death of Eugene
V. Debs and with the approaching of new
war, it will be worth while for the workers to
learn of document by Debs which, for good
reasons is not mentioned by the Socialists"
and is not known to many, but which played
an important role in Debs' life.
1t may be surprising to many but it is a
fact that Comrade Debs during the last world
war was heralded as a social patriot by $50

Debs, too, had changed his views on the war.
So widely circulated was the story even after

newspaper criticizing the government for. ar
resting Debs, stating that if Debs would re-
main in the socialist" party he would help
convert the rest of the socialists to the sup
port of the war.
Jingoist Frame-Up
The whole story of Debs' conversion to war
was a frame-up, but it served the socialists"
as means to mislead the workers and they
circulated the story Debs wrote denial of
it but the papers Mould not print the Debs
letter. The Jewish Daily Forward, which on
May Is, 1918 published the news that Debs
had changed his position to one in favor of
war REUSED 70 PRINT the De6s den1at
The writer of this article gave a copy of the
letter to Comrade Burgin, at that time with
the Forward, but it was returned because Ca

mention correcting this accusation. The New

vanced during the stock market boom,

Wisconsin to the consumers In Kansas
may be regulated by the Kansas State
commission. This is clearly interstate
business. Yet the State commissions
are today at liberty to regulate Sucn
business under the decree Of the highest
court.
In another case, the Kansas Natural
Gas Co. case, the Supreme Court has
held that where a producing company
sells to a distributing company in an
other State, the interstate business
ceases with that transaction, and the
actual sale by the distributing company
to the consumers becomes interstate
business, although the commodity dis
tributed has been transported from one
State to another.
Under these decisions Of the Supreme
Court, applicable as they are to the
electric power business, it Is apparent
that State public utility commissions
have wide powers Of regulation, II they

Is transmitted from one State to an

today are regulating the electric power

he has a good organization back of him

over his Democratic opponent. The
third and fourth districts, however, are
battlefields. The Democrats have a
chance to pick up the third district,
now represented by Representative John

nee there is Lyon S. Horner. In the
fourth district Representative Robert
L. Hogg, Republican, Is facing a stiff
fight against L. r. Via, the Democratic
nominee.
The sixth district, however, is giving
the Democrats cause for worry. That
is the only district they hold in the
present Congress. But Representative
Joe L. Smith, the incumbent Democrat,
Is opposed by Fred 0. Blue this year
and Blue has wide personal following.
