By LEON PLATT.

IN March the international proletarlat Will
be modified under the leadership of the
Communist International in the struggle
against unemployment. On March the work
ing class of the world will fight not only for
immediate economic demands and unemploy-
ment relief and insurance, but the international
proletarat will also be modified IN the strug-
gle against the roots of unempoyment-against
the capitalist system. The international day
of struggle against unemployment will be the
answer of the working class to the attack of
the BOSSES to the attempts of the bosses to put
the entire burden of the economic crisis upon
the shoulders of the working class. March
will also bring to the forefront the decaying
capitalist sterilization and the readiness OF the
masses to struggle against capitalism.
Correctness of the Policy of the Communist
International and the Communist Party.
The resolution of the Tenth Plenum of the
c. l. and the October Plenum of our Party
show clearly that the contradictions of capt.
talism are becoming sharper and more accentu-
ated, and that unemployment is not an $50
lated phase of struggle which the Communist
Party and the revolutionary trade unions lead,
but it is part and parcel of the general strug-
gle of the workers entering into a counterof-
fensive against the attack of the bosses.
The growing rehabilitation of the masses
was clearly expressed in the various strikes
that swept the industrially developed capitalist
countries as we'll as the colonial countries in
the beginning Of the present third period of
postwar capitalist development. August L
the International Red Day of struggle against
the imperialist and for the defense of
the Soviet Union--was concrete act on the
part of the international proletariat definitely
demonstrating its readiness to follow the lead
ership of the revolutionary trade unions and
the Communist Party, and exposing the treach-
erous action of the social democratic parties.
March is another step in the direction OF
further developing the political class-conscious-
ness of the toiling masses, and further step
showing the decline of capitalism. March
will bring to the working men and women the
world over the definite proof that the capital
list system is no longer in a position to solve
its contradictions and that the crisis of CAPT
talism at the present time is deep-going and
fundamental. The response of the international
-oletariat to the struggle of the unemployed
in every country conclusively proves the COR
sr-tzess Of the policy of the Communist Inter-
.,atlonal, the correctness of the analysis of the
October plenum of the Communist Party of the
USA., and more glaringly exposes the bour
geois Hooverian program of the right-wing
opportunists, the Lovestone group in the United
States and internationally.
The Role of the Right Wing Opportunists.
The right wing has unbroken faith in CAPT
talist sterilization They see only the positive
side of capitalist development, without taking
into consideration the consequences resulting
from the sharp contradictions of capitalism.
At the same time they lack faith in the read-
ness, determination and ability of the inter-
national proletariat to struggle against capt.
talism, to meet the capitalist offensive with a
counter-offensive.
