 Frank and Tolerant
 The newspapers unanimously laud these efforts and public opinion in general seems in accord with them. The press, however, cannot pass up the occasion to remark that the rapprochement has been made pos sible through a change in policy at Washington which has substituted frank and tolerant good will for a shifting, occult attitude which con- tinually had this country guessing and served as a bar to confidence.
 One thing that is especially counted upon to promote under standing between the two nations is President-elect Ortiz Rubio's visit to the United States. The official and private courtesies extended to him there, brought home to the Mexican people the impression that the American government is sin cere and disposed to go out of its way to furt her Friendship with Mexico.

 Chairman, ACC.

SEWARD. Alaska, Jan 29.-Fig- ures compiled on trapping licenses and issed in a report from here and carried in Associated Press dispatches yesterday are confined entirely to Seward and Anchorage and not of other localities of the Alaska Railroad area. The figures show a decrease in the number of licenses issued last year from the previous year.
 Reports continue to be filed stressing a shortage of fur.
 The figures show a real decrease and not an increase, absolutely refuting statement issued by Dr. w. H. Chase, Chairman of the Alaska Commission at Cordova
 Dr. Chase said the number of trappers' licenses were increasing each year and trap lines were over Tapping. His reply yesterday that last years increase in the number of licenses issued was per cent, embraces the entire Territory, it is said here.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-01-15

Editors Note In connection with the Lenin
Campaign of the Communist Party, the Daily
Worker is running a Lenn corner during the
month of January, containing some of Lenins
most important teachings on imperialist war
and the organization of the Communist Party.
The present instalment concludes the article
in previous issues of The Daily Worker. 1t is
taken from Lenns Imperialist Wharf.-The
Struggle Against Social Chauvinism and So
cial Pacifism, constituting Vol. XVIII of his
Collected Works international Publishers,
New York;.
I is impossible to carry out the tasks of
Socialism at the present time, it is impos-
sible to accomplish really international uni
fcation of the workers without radically
breaking with opportunism and without making
clear to the masses the inevitably of it's fasco.
1t must be the task of the social-democracy
of every country first of all to struggle against
the chauvinism of that country. In Russia this
chauvinism has completely embraced the bour-
geois liberals (the cadets) and partly the Ma
rodniks down to the Socialists Revoutionsts
and the Right" Socal-D Democrats. 1t is par
ticularly necessary to brand the chsSvinist
declarations of such men as E. Smirnov,, P.
Maslov and G. Pekhanov, who have been taken
up and widely utilized by the bourgeois pa
triotic" press.
Under given conditions it is impossible to
determine from the standpoint of the interna-
tional proletariat which is the lesser evil for
Socialism, the defeat of one or the defeat of
the other group of belligerent nations. For
US Russian Social-Democrats, however, there
cannot exist the least doubt that from the
standpoint of the working class and of the la
boring masses of all the peoples of Russia,
the lesser evil would be the defeat of the tsar-
list monarchy, the most reactionary and bar
barous government depressing the greatest
number of nations and the greatest mass OF the
populations of Europe and Asia.
The political slogan of the Social-Democrats
of Europe for the near future must be the
creation of republican United States of Eu-
rope In contrast to the bourgeoise, which is
ready to promise anything in order to draw
the proletariat into the general stream of chau-
vinism, the Social Democrats will explain that
this slogan is false and senseless without
revolutionary overthrow of the German, Avs
trian and Russian monarchies
In Russia, due to the greater backwardless
of the country, which has not yet completed its
bourgeois revolution, the tasks of the Social
Democrats are, as heretofore, the following
three fundamental conditions for a consistent
democratic reconstruction: democratic re-
public with full and equal rights for all ma
tionalities, including the right OF sef-determl-

Some Points on the Recruiting
Drive.

In Yesterdays review of the Party recruiting
drive the following heading did not appear in
the national edition: Recruiting drive enters
last half. Philadelphia leads the first third"
The following paragraphs also omitted in
both editions:
"Only five districts can be commended for
improving the tempo of the recruiting this
last week. These are Detroit from At last
week to so this week, New York from lis to
139, Chicago from SO to SO, Philadelphia from
40 to 46 and Seattle with its first recruitment
of 50.
philadelphia district squeezed into first
place this week with 81 per cent of its quota.
The South, without adding any new members
still holds second place, while Detroit with the
best record of the week still holds third place.
After New York and Chicago were tied for
fourth place last week, New York stepped
ahead leaving Chicago behind. California,
which in the early part of the drive looked
like a contender for first place has fallen to
seventh place.
"The results of the drive is a yardstick to
measure the activity of the various Party dis
trcts. Good resolutions and speeches do not
recruit any members. Only activity in the
shops and mass organizations can accomplish
this With this in mind such districts as Bos-
ton Buffalo, Cleveland, Minnesota and Conn
ecticut must work douby hard to keep from
being sharply criticized as the conclusion of
the drive Pittsburgh Kansas City, and Da-
kota still are unaware that there is a recruit
ing drive under way"

nation), confiscation of the landowners land,
and an eight-hour work day. In all the other
advanced countries, however, the war has placed
on the order of the day the slogan of So
ciast revolution, which becomes the more
urgent the more heavily the burdens of war
are pressing on the shoulders of the proletarlat
and as it becomes apparent that it will play
a more active part in the restoration of Europe
after the horrors of the present patriotic"
barbarism aided by the gigantic technical prog
ress of big capitalism. The utilization by the
bourgeoisie of the laws of war time for gag
ging the proetariat, makes it absolutely neces-
sary to create illegal forms of agitstion and
organization. Let the opportunists Save" the
legal organizations at the price of betraylng
their convictions the revolutionary Social
Democrats will utilize the organizational habits
and connections of the working class to organ
ize illegal forms of organization befitting an
epoch of crisis, in order to fight for Socialism
and to unite the workers, not with the chau-
whist bourgeoise of their respective countries,
but with the workers of all countries. The
proletaran International has not persisted and
will not perish. The working masses will over
come all obstacles and create new lnterna-
tional. The present triumph of opportunismy
is short lived The greater the war losses, thet
clearer it will become for the working masses
that the opportunists betrayed the cause of the
workers and that it is necessary to turn the
weapons against the governments and the bour-
geoise of the respective countries.
Turning the present imperialist war into
civil war is the only correct proletarian slo-
gan. 1t is indicated by the experience of the
Commune, it outlined by the Basic resolu-
ton (1912) and it follows from all the condi-
lions of an imperialist war among highly de-
IL IInxu
cult such transformation may appear at one
time or another. Socialists will never relin-
quish systematic insistent, unflinching prepa-
ratory work in this direction once the war has
become fact.
Only along this road will the proletariat be
able to break away from under the influence
of the chauvinist bourgeoisie and sooner
later, in one form or another, will it take de-
cisive steps on the road to real freedom OF
peoples, and on the road to Socialism.
Long live the international brotherhood OF
the workers united against the chauvinism and
patriotism of the bourgeoisie of all countriesl
Long live a proletarian International FREQ

While the Agrarian Crisis
Grows Sharper
By ALFRED KNUTSON.

"UOLD your wheat ana cotton and you will
get better price, This is the cry of the
farmer capitalists of the Farmers Union, of
the Farm Bureau, of Mr. Legge and the Farm
Board, and all the other agencies of finance
capital. Don't gut the market, just permit ''or-
derby marketing" to take place. and presto, the
problems of the farmers will be solved
But this does not solve the problem for the
farmer. He does not get better price for his
grain or cotton by these means. This year it
is estimated that about so per cent of the wheat
in the Northwest is being held on the farms
i.e., off the market. The Farmers Union has
been carrying broad and persistent cam
paign to induce the farmers of the Dakotas,
Montana and MINNESOTA, in particular, to hold
their wheat, and in these efforts they have
succeeded to some extent. However, has the
price been effected any? Not so you can notice
it. And why not?
The fact is that the price is determined by
the volume of production; whether it is in
storage on the farm, is on the way to market
at the terminals, or held in some other place
makes no difference. 1t is the existence (vol-
ume of producton) of the wheat or cotton,
etc., that determines its price, not its movement
to market
When farmers buy storage tanks from the
Farmers Union, therefore, in which to store
it, they are simply out the price of the tank
and the interest charged for the loan. The
capitalists have merely devised one more way
of robbing the farmers.
The problem of the surplus is spoken of
but surplus production is inherent in capitalist
agriculture, it is chronic disease and can
not be gotten rid of under capitalism. And the
capitalist press speaks only of the surplus
which is occasioned by climatic condition, for
getting to mention the fact that the surplus
is always present, belonging to and springs
from the anarchic method of capitalist produc-
ton. Only in Soviet Russia, where socialzed
agriculture is being built up, can painful pro-
duction take place and the correct relation be-
tween agricultural production and agricultural
prices be established.
The poor farmers must get wise to this sit
uation. They must not depend upon capitalist
farm organizations, such as the Farmers In
ion to show them the way, but join the United
Farmers League and get their information
from the United Farmer, the only farm paper
that is really fighting for their interests.

The Situation in the Y.C.I. and the Turn
Towards Mass Work
Theses of the Enlarged Penum of the Executive Committee
of the Young Communist international.

Note: Because of typographical error
the following final sentence in the last para
graph of yesterdays nstallment was omitted:
And finally, there is due attention, as
sistance and leadership from the Communist
Parties; there are instead attempts to estab-
fish guardianship over the youth the Party
kernel in the Young Communist League is very
weak and, in addition to that, is not doing
what it should do
(Continued)
5. The task placed by the V Congress be-
fore all the Sections of the Young Communist
international in the capitalist countries to
bring about a decisive turn towards Bolshevik
mass work. continues to confront them in its
full scope and with growing persistence on ac-
count of the revolutionary upsurge to be
observed in the labor movement. The winning
of the majority of the working classes by the
Communist Parties, which is the main task of
the Communist International, has as one of its
necessary conditions the winning of the major
ity of the young workers. The Young Com
munist Leagues upon which this task is placed,
will be able to accomplish it only by applying
the new forms of united front tactics, new
forms of struggle and organization of the
working class youth, transferring in actual
reality the center of gravity of their entire
work towards the shops and factories and the
mass organizations of the young workers. The
most important and basic element of the turn
is the struggle of the Young Communist
Leagues for leadership in the class struggles
of the working class youth. Not single strike,
not single demonstration, even the most in
significant, should pass without the Young
Communist League trying to get control of the
movement. The gigantic class struggles in the
third period of postwar capitalist development
do not remove from the agenda the daily rout-
inc, tedious and persistent work among the
trade unions, homes, schools, educational or
CARNATIONS, on sport grounds, during rambles,
IN places of entertainment, etc. Without this
work, into which every member of the Young
Communist League must be drawn, without
tying up the most varied interests and require
ments of the proletarian youth, with the gen.
