WORKERS MUST SAVE THE
MORNING FREIHEIT IN ITS
GRAVE DANGER
STATEMENT BY CENTRAL COMMITTEE, COMMUNIST
PARTY, U.S.A.

imperialism. 1t is combating the class-col-
liberation idea in the field of culture. 1t is
fighting against the nationalist influence
whc5her under the cloak of lofty idealism or
under the cloak of religion. The Morning
Freiheit" was instrumental in organizing mass
organizations of the Jewish workers like the
Jewish workers clubs and the Jewish section
Of the International Workers Order. The In
ternational Workers Order has every POSSIBLE
ity Of becoming mass organization embrac-
Ing beth Jewish and ron-Jewish workers. The
"Mornirg Freiheit" is furnishing its readers
systematic and correct information about the
Soviet Union, thus making the workers under
stand the significance of the proletarian die
tatorship and Of building up Socialism under
the Five-Year Plan. The "Morning Freiheit'
is participating in every struggle of the work
ing class in a leading capacity. 1t is rallying
the workers for struggle against Imperialism,
against the war danger. 1t is modifying for
social insurance against persecution of immi-
grant workers. against the attacks on the So
Wet Union, and on the revolutionary workers
in this country.
In it's work the Morning Freiheit" meets
directly the INSCRIPTIONS and base attacks of
the most powerful and most hideous organ of
the Second international, the Jewish Daily
Forward, which does not shrink before spy
work and the use Of gucrilas to harm the
revolutionary labor movement, and which is
one of the strongholds of reaction among the
Jewish workers.
1t is for these reasons that the Morning
Freiheit" ought to be and is dear to the heart
of every class conscious worker Without the
Morning Freheit," many of the struggles of
the workers would have been almost impossible,
many others couldn't have reached the proper
items they have reached. Without the "Morn-
ing Freiheit," the Jewish workers would be
LETT largely to the poisonous influence of the
social-fascists on the one hand, of the national
fascists on the other.
Aid for the Morning Freiheit" is aid for
the revolutionary labor movement. Aid for
the Morning Freiheit" is blow to capitalism.
Let every worker do his duty in aiding the
revolutionary fighter, the Communist "Morn-
ing Freiheit."
Long live the Morning Freiheit!"

Analysing the real role of bourgeois "opposi-
tons" to know that the Farm Bloc Opposi-
ton is an aid to finance capital. I think we
have made clear that it is no aid, can be no
aid, to the poor and medium farmer. Our
Central Committee Plenum last October gave
the correct analysis from which we should
draw conclusions for action. 1t was given in
our Draft Agrarian Thesis precisely for that
reason page 267, April Communist), in part
as follows:
"The 'progressivism' of the Farm Bloc,
with its denial of class struggle on the
farm, with its subordination to the essential
program of finance capital, has become one
of the accepted and established agencies of
the rule of Wall Street. It is no longer an
expression of the growing consciousness of
the toiling agrarian masses, or even par
tial and confused expression, but is one of
the means Of diverting and suppressing this
growing consciousness and will to struggle"
Great discomfort is ahead, and, comrades,
we must take advantage of this in our election
campaign not to stimulate new illusions in
the poor farmers as to parliament and the
Farm Bloc opposition, but rather to tear away
the parliamentary illusions which are the
greatest obstacle to getting the agrarian poor
into really revolutionary mass action.

Article No. 8
f1NE of the results of class differentiation on
the farm has been growth in proletarian-
izat;on. This has two phases: one, an out
right flight of the farm population to the
cities to become proletarians, the other,
greater relative "weight" of wage labor, prole-
tarian labor, among the toiling masses On the
farms.
We see, for example, since 1910 to JAN
uary, 1929, according to u S. estimations,
there have been losses, absolute net losses to
farm population of 100000. What is the
Character of this flight? 1t reveals, Of course,
tiie growing degradation of the poor farmers.
Sczao, unable to make living or evicted from
the farms, go to the cities and become prcle-'
ta-iars. Some become semi-proletarians, of
ccl-5e remaining in the farm population but
Altering tEsir class relations by working part
CT the time for wages. Others who go to tie
cites are farm workers, wage workers, and
we vi5n TO speak about this, because there is
sore confusion.
Iae government statistics in listing farm
wor-.eyu," make distinction between those
"Worxing on Home Farm" and those "Work-
ing Out" In an article a comrade speaks of
"fcur and half million farm wage workers."

himself) was seen leisurely promenading past
18th Street and Fifth Avenue, with nothing

The comrale who noticed him was not per-

awed to ask Mike whether he was hurt in
some accident and needed support of the
cane.

Let's Discover America!
By Jorge

When the Santa Maria, just, 438 years ago,
sighted the shores of the New World, old
Christopher Colombo was letting US in for
lot of trouble.
Beating Cal Coolidge for brevity of history,
We'll remind you that, since then, though the
biped Genus Homo Europe has settled all over
both continents, a Yankee egoism has been IN
ssting that only that part between Canada and
the Rio Grande is america"
Vestiges of this linger in the ranks of the
Communist Party. And even worse, here in
District 2, too many comrades have the gen.
eral impression that the western boundary of
the United States is about four miles west of
Hoboken.
In fact many NewCMFWYP cmfwypahrdlsh
the idea that they have corner on knowledge,
though some of them have to think twice to
recall whether potatoes grow on trees and
whether hens each lay an even dozen eggs
every day directly into sealed boxes.
Some of this cockshure ignorance persists IN
our Party. For example, the Workers School,
intended to teach Party members number of
things and particularly to train them to take
responsible posts not only in New York but
even out among the Indians and cowboys around
Pittsburgh, finds that out of nearly thousand
pupils, about ninety per cent are workers who
are not yet members of the Party and hence
are not convinced that there is nothing left
for them to learn. The longer they are MEM
bers the more sure they know everything
though they can't cake first base on the ABC.
Probably our needle trades comrades who
have been making mistakes successfully for
years and trying to escape censure by saying
"We simply don't understand the line," can
tell US why studying the things they don't I'M
derstand is beneath their dignity.
Again, the Daily Worker has pleaded and
urged that Party members line up and learn
something about Latin America, not merely
SO they won't be caught saying that Buenos
Aires is in Venezuela, but so they can be given
training on specific Latin American prob
lens, ticket to Guatemala or Guayaquil and
instructions to be of some real aid to the
colonial revolution instead of vegetating around
here, reading Red Sparks, eating at the Coop,
and other vices.
But though the Daily pleaded with tears in
its inky eyes for both volunteers and con-
scripts to take the Latin American course, no
body much is interested
Meanwhile waving palm trees, tinkling quit

nists are acting like so many cats, stuck on

Statement on Barring the
Young Pioneers From
the Mails

The young Pioneer" the only workers chill
dren's paper in the United States has been
barred from the mails by the bosses govern
ment agents in the United States Post Office
Department. They state openly that the rea-
son they are barring the t'Young Pioneer" from
the mails is because of the contents of the
August ISSUE" This is very open statement.
In other words the bosses through their gov
eminent, are saying to the workers children:
"We don't want you to learn anything about
your class, the workingclass. We want you to
grow up to be good loyal strike breakers, and
loyal slaves. We want you to grow up to be
cannon FODDER so that when we call upon you
to go into to defend our billions you will
do SO. We want you to bow before the bosses
flag, church, God and never to ask any ques-
tons. We don't want you to help your fathers
and mothers in fight against unemployment,
against speedup for unemployment relief, for.
more wages, for shorter hours, for better living
conditions. We don't want you to tell your
fathers and mothers to Vote Communist"
Behind this attack of the Post Office agent.

that the attack is launched on the paper of the

tionary workingclass.
This attack upon the militant workers chill
dren is only part of the general campaign in
full swing against the Soviet Union as mani
tested by the fake scare that the fascists have
begun in connection with the sale of Russian
wheat. We must answer these attacks by
strengthening our work of organizing the work
ers and their children for a militant struggle
against the unbearable conditions that are at
present existing for the masses. The millions
of workers and their children will not allow
themselves to starve. They will rally behind

coming elections will give the masses of work
ers a chance to answer the attacks upon the
workers children, against the terrific speedup
and unemployment. They will rally behind the
Communist Party and will vote Communist in
the coming elections.
The Young Communist League calls upon
all workers and young workers to answer this
attack upon our revolutionary children's move
ment. We must answer the attack of the fas-
cist Fish and his equals by making the Young
Pioneers of America into mass organization
of workers and farmers children! Every
worker and young worker must help build our
children's movement by getting his or her child
to join the Young Pioneers and by becoming a
leader of Young Pioneer group.
We must answer the attack on the fighting
workers children paper the "Young Pioneer"
by making the 7th Anniversary issue, the No
vember issue the biggest and best issue put
out by the Pioneers in the last years.

(Continated)

Among the many mistakes committed in the
past as to our understanding of the organiza-
ton of the children, there was very bad one
committed in connection with the utilization Of
Party auxiliaries For example, the W.LR.
and the L.S.U. We thought that the children
organized by these organizations should be
used as an auxiliary to the Pioneers. Again
we were mechanically following the line of the
Party and League incorrectly, in thinking that
we needed transmission belts" to our Pioneers.
We did not realize that this was one of the
clearest expressions of our sectarianism. We
could not understand that the organization of
children by these organizations should be the
order of the day, as part of building the revolu-
tionary children's movement, which would en-
brace these organizations and the Pioneers
equally.
At present, we can say that we have
correct picture of this question. We will
utilize every method ard possibility of reach
ing the masses of children. The Party has
many mass organizations, which have influ-
ence over masses of workers, who have chill
dren who are not as yet in the revolutionary
children's movement. We say to these
CARNATIONS, ct is your job to organize these
children. You must devote the best possible
forces for the organization of the children.
The Young Communist League will help you,
and together we will establish united lead
erskip over the revolutionary childrens
movement" Such organizations as the trade
unions Of the T.U.U.L., the LID, the L.S.U.,
the W.I.R., the language schools, womens
organizations, etc., must participate in the
building of the children's organization. We

portance of this work, then we will be able
to correct our mistakes, and build anew If
we do not, then we are consciously surrender
ing the masses of children into the hands of
the bourgeoise, to be trained as strikebreakers
and cannon-fodder. The proletarian children
must become part of the great army of the
working class modified for the fight against
capitalism. The proletarian children will be
among the most courageous fighters in this
struggle, and will be constant source of in
SEPARATION for the entire working class move-
ment. Every Party and League member, every
worker, must accept responsibility for tho
building of a mass revolutionary childrens
movement in the U. S. A.
