KEED' ENDS
SPARR|NG
FORBERG
By HYPE TGOE

ORANl$EbUEG, ~. T., Aug. D.
The Keed today was as fit as
steady faithful training will make
any man about to embark on an
important bout.
For fear that he might damage
his precious breadwinners, his
hands, Chocolate viii do no more
boxing before he enters the ring
with Jack Berg of England at
the Polo Grounds on Thursday
night.
He still thinks that it will be
my easiest. just another fight"
Chocolate talked, like a fellow
who was dead sure Of accom-.
plishing what he was going after.
He couldn't be riled when he was
told that Berg is making the
13412 required Of him by the
Keed's manager. Louis Gutierrez.
Berg Is making the weight
with the greatest case, fact
that / can vouch for since
Fve seen the fellow eating,
drinking and putting away
anything that comes to his
mind.
Chocolate weighed lbs pounds
yesterday after his work in the
stuffy indoor arena and won't
20 over 1862 or l27 as he steps
into the ring. It is reasonable
to suppose that Berg win at least
weigh 1873 when they meet in the
center of the ring. That means
that Chocolate viii be spotting
Berg around twelve pounds.
Can he do it? That is the great
interrogation in this battle. It
isn't so much Berg'S making the
weight. Rather it concerns Cnoco-
late's ability to spot Jack a dozen
pounds. It's giving a lot OK
weight, but Chocolate believes
that he is, the real world-beater
and that he will win the Junior
welterweight title from Berg. 1t
would be quite feather in q
featherweight's cap, and no mis-
take.
Jess LOsada, Cuban writer
and referee, is i'm the camp
and he will 80 to the boxing
commission today to apply
for q seconds license.
Gutierrez will appear with him
and they will have a heart-to-
heart talk with William Muldoon
concerning Berg's alleged rough
tactics.
That is the one angle of the bout
that seems to be bothering Gu
tierrez the most. He doesn't want
hitting on the breakaWays, doesn't
want cutting or heeling or any
other rough method OF accom-
plishing victory.
Chocolate will break camp on
Wednesday morning, motoring to
New York.
Today and tomorrow will be-
given over to exercises that do not

THE organization of proletarian defense is
practical necessity for the working class
in the whole capitalist world This necessity
arises from the intensive preparations for civil
war being carried on by the International
bourgeoisie and from the more frequent use
of civil war methods on the part of the bour-
geosie in its st'u~~'a "~-~;'st The working
class
These fac Iselves; for
the bourgeo 0een machine
for the fore .-cCion of the working
masses. Elements of civil war have never been
lacking in the regime of bourgeois democracy.
Throughout the entire periods of it's DONNA
ton, the bourgeoisie has continually made use
of armed force, of direct methods of civil war,
in its fight against the working class
Nevertheless, there is a tremendous differ
ence between the bourgeoisie preparations for
civil warfare now and, let us say, before the
war. The international bourgeosie has drawn
all the lessons and practical conclusions from
it's experience in its struggle against the
volutionary movement during and after the
war. The capitalists are aware of the fact
that the coming imperialist war against the
Soviet Union will also signify a civil war
against the working class all over the capi-~
talst world. This gives rise to what is new
in their preparations for civil war.
After the world war the international bour-
geoisie worked out quite new methods to sup
press revolutionary mass movements, to sup.
press internal unrest" 1t introduced
and previously unknown forms of organizing
its armed forces for this job There is also
something new in the intensity with which
this problem is now being handled by the
bourgeois war experts who are now trying to
coordinate the international experience of the
fight against the working class and working
class organizations.

suit of the mass activity forced on our PARTY
in Toledo by the workers, our Party there has
increased its influence with the workers ire
mendously and for the first time is playing the
role of actual organizer and leader of the mass
es of workers in the struggle against capital
ism.
Activize Every Member.
Unfortunately not all of our Party members
are actively participating in this activity in
Toledo. At a time when the Party needs all
its forces, to the last man, modified for i'm
mediate action, some of the members fail to
respond to the call of the Party. This shows
that the Party has not yet fully made the
change-that some Party members are vet liv-
ing in the old period and are either not ready
or not willing to meet the increased demands
the Party must make on each member in this
period of mass struggles. We must strive by
every means to draw such members into the
Party work, but failing in this we must ruth
lessly weed the mout of our ranks. The Com
munist Party of the United States has no place
in its ranks for inactive "card-carrying Com
munists' today
Never has the situation in America been 50
favorable for our work. Never have we faced
such gigantic class struggles as we face today
To take advantage of the opportunities for
work, to carry out the great tasks facing u.s.
we must have every member at his post Every
lower Party unit, every individual Party mem
Der must understand this new situation and all
it means to the American working class and
to our Party. No longer must our Party lag
behind the masses Of the workers. Our Party
must be the vanguard of the working class,
and never, even in isolated circumstances,
tail of the action of the workers. The new
line we have endorsed so enthusiastically in in
Vulnerable resolutions, must become a living
fact, must be carried out and put into effort
in every action of the Party Then, and only
then, will our Party be well along the road
to Bolshevization.

The Question of Proletarian
Defense

mass movements has become a central ques-
tion while before the war there was very little
written on this subject. In almost all CAPT
talist countries, particularly in those where
great armed class struggles have occurred,
very comprehensive literature has arisen in
which the military specialists and police ex-
perts of the bourgeoisie have examined, enter
ing with great thoroughness into the least
detail the experiences Of these struggles and
have worked out the methods for suppress
ing such struggles in the future. On the
other hand, very little indeed has been done
to make available to the working class the
rich international experience of the armed
class struggle.
In Germany, which has more experience of
civil war than any other capitalist country, this
literature is very rich and comprehensive. The
most famous of Germany's civil war strateg-
lists are Generals Maercker, Won der Goltz and
Loffler, Police Officers Hartenstein, Schmitt
and their social democratic colleague Schultz
niger and the bloodhound Noske, with his
memoirs From Kiel to Kapp. We must recog-
Mise the fact that the German civil war strate-
gists have formulated the tactical and strate-
gical principles Of civil war against the work
ing class better and more clearly than any
other sections
Another fact that is new and characteristic
of the postwar period of the bourgeoisies
civil war preparations is indicated by the spe-
cial methods of army organization the des-
perate struggle for reliable army, which is
one of the most essential peculiarities of bour-
geois militarism in the present period. The
armies of general defense, the peoples
armies" have shown themselves to be unre-
liable from the point of view of the bourgeoisie
when it comes to question of armed strug-
gle between the classes Consequently the
bourgeosie has set up special civil war armies,
armies of mercenaries, recruited from reliable
or declassed elements. This tendency is ex-
pressed more or less clearly in all capitalist

HOW TO KEEP OUR NEW
PARTY MEMBERS!

membership drive doubled their membership,
and when they made their final recount at the
end of the year, they found large turnover.
Where do these lost members disappear to?
And why? Are they the old Party members?
Or are they those recently recruited? Does
the Organization Department of the Party
know the answer?
1t is very probable that in the past major
cause for the loss in membership was the in
cessant fractional fight. 1t is also probable that
the units are too large and too noisy, and most
likely too inactive. Or was the element re-
cruited such that would not remain for fear
of the tasks placed before them?
Whatever the reasons, it is about time that
the Party knows what they are. Just as the
Partys leading bodies worked out concrete
organization plans and gave definite instruc-
tons on how to get members, just so must they
work out definite plans for knowing how to
keep these new members. The Agitprop De-
partment must do its share. The Organization
Department must make an investigation and
must study the various causes for this avoid
able fluctuaton. We must learn the causes.
The cure will suggest itself.
Now in the midst of the Party's growth must
we take notice of this important problem of

of the whole world an appeal, from which we
publish the following extract;

have been imprisoned in the Italian fascist jails

condemned to isolation and so slow but certain
death by starvation. They were in the front
ranks of the struggle against the regime of
exploitation and reprisals established by fas-
cism. The tortures, privations, the suffer-
ings, provocations and threats have not bent
them. They remain, in spite of everything, the
strong and courageous fighters for the prole-
tartan cause. For this reason they were ex-
cluded from the amnesty which the fascist gov
eminent recently granted on the occasion Of

BY MAX KITES.

THE present organization campaign of the
Communist Party is bound to be hundred
rer cent success because the united energies
of the entire Party is concentrated on con-
structive work and systematic organized re-
cruiting. 1t is also bound to succeed because
the present internal conditions in the Party
are in such healthy state has not existed
in the last six years. With the eradication of
the inner Party fractional fight from our ranks
and thru direct participation in the workers
daily struggles, the Party is attracting new
proletarian elements into the Communist Party
ranks.
The organization campaign must not end
with the acceptance of these new members.
Recruiting must be our daily duty All Party
activities, all the time, must be to help the
organized and unorganized workers, as well
as the employed and unemployed in their con-
slant class struggles, and must inevitably re-
suit in the extended growth of the Communist
Party.
After we have agitated, educated and won the
workers into our ranks, what will we do in
order to keep these new and desirable pro-
letarian elements in our Party? What will we
do to cut the inexcusable large turnover in the
number of our members?
Leading comrades have pointed out that
sections and districts, in the past have begun

countries. Another popularity is the arming
of volunteer bourgeois military organizations,
formed from members of the ruling class and
from those elements which are ideologically
akin and devoted to it. Examples of such
organizations are the Heimwehr in Austria
and the Steel Helmets in Germany.
These avowedly ounter-revolutionary, fas-
cist military organizations are not the only
ones which form part of the bourgeoisies sys-
tenn of civil war preparations against the
proletariat; there are also sem-fascist and
social-fascst bodies such as the Schutzbund
in Austria and the Reichsbanner in Germany.
Recent events in Austria show this very clear
ly. The social democratic Schutzbund is de-.
clared by the leaders of Austrian social demo-
cracy to be the proletariat's only possible de-
fensive organization against fascism. But the
more openly the fascists attack, the clearer
becomes the real purpose for which the social
fascist leaders are using the Schutzbund. More
and more frequently sections of the Schultz
bund turn out in close alliance with the po-
lice against the revolutionary workers. This
was the case on July Is, 1927, and in recent
months also during the frequent encounters
between workers and fascists. The Schultz
bund is an organization to make the Austrian
workers defenseess, to defeat and suppress
their revolutionary activities; it is an organ
lZdJlOH lighting IOT Jiie DOuIS colSle against
proletariat. 1t is only differentiated from the
Heimwehr in the fact that the majority of
it's members are workers, who are not fascist
and among whom, on the contrary there ex-
lists an honest desire to fight fascism, but
who have not yet fully realized the social fas-
cist role of the Schutzbund and of Austrian
social democracy.
These Scientific" civil war preparations of
the bourgeoisie are characteristic of the whole
postwar period. From a superficial exam
nation they might appear to be an indication
of the strength of present-day capitalism In
reality they are characteristic phenomenon
of capitalism in decline. If capitalism felt it.
self to be strong, it would have no fear Of the
revolutionary, suppressed workers; it would
not think it necessary to take such desperate
and terrorist measures TO maintain its suprem
acy. On the contrary, capitalism would use
other and more refined methods of holding the
masses in check. Although the international
bourgeosie's feverish preparations for civil
warfare are sign Of the internal weakness of
the capitalist system, it would be crude error
to underestimate their danger to the working
class The preparations show that the CAPT
talists have decided to maintain their supre-
macy at any cost.
