A Noteworthy Movement.
This movement which has commenced from
DelOW, III llle COLLECTIVE IdlnlS is SAlIelHely
noteworthy. 1t is not temporary campaign
or campaign for show. 1t is full of the life
and labor of the lengthy struggle for Social
list efficiency of labor in agriculture, for So
cialist quality in all the work of collective
farm construction.
Under the influence of opportunism which
was beginning to raise its head, a certain part
of the collective farm workers showed signs
of perpIexity. In some places they did not
understand the warning of the Party about be-
coming enthusiastic over the ease of the vic
tory, and attempted to describe it as "a step
backwards" as "a retreat" etc.
In this matter we see the effect of petty
self-esteem of the Standardization" who
were put in their place by the Party and COM
PEELED to conform to its principles. We see
the results of a lack of understanding of the
fact that the construction of collective farms
is carried on by the masses, that the masses
are the real creators of this building.
The masses in the collective farms are indi-
eating to these wavering comrades what they
ought to do: Together with the masses, at the
head of the masses, for shock work in the or
ganization of collective production.

THE launching of the Omitted Empire Party
in Great Britain marks an historic step III
British imperialst policy. To those who UNDER
stand the fundamentals of capitalist economy
the split in the Conservative Party comes as
no surprise But the split itself is of great
significance, for it happens in a Party regard
ed by many of its leading members as an I'M
breakable pillar in British politics. To the
Marxist- feminist students, however, the DIS
Indignation of the old British capitalist parties
was inevitable and only reflects the decline CT
British industry and decay of capitalism IN
general.
Briefly the policy of the United Empire
Party is: free trade within the British empire,
development of the empire into an economic
unit, high protective tariffs against all foreign
manufactures and foodstuffs, which implies
stronger and more jingoist policy in foreign
affairs, greater suppression in colonial and
semi-colonial countries and a strong policy
against the organized labor movement at home.
The more immediate cause of the division
of opinion in the ranks of British Imperialism
can be understood when we consider the gen.
eral tendencies in British politics. The Labor
Party Has long since replaced the Liberal
Party by abandoning every socialist point in its
program. But since it achieved power at the
last election, the imperialist Labor Government
has been NOR distinguished by its jingoistic
and conservative policy than was the Govern
ment of Baldwin and Chamberlain.
AS to the Labor Governments colonial policy
and actions in slaughtering the masses, the
reputation it attained in lrak, India and Egypt
in 1924 has been fully sustained and supple
mented in Palestine, Nigeria India, ETC., in
1929. In domestic politics it is openly and
brazenly stated by the Labor Ministers, in
uncamouflaged and brutal language, that they
are government of naturalization, enforcing
wage cuts, at the same time throwing ever
larger masses of workers into the ranks of the
unemployed.
Therefore, such "strong men" as Lord
Beaverbrook, backed by Lord Rothermere, both
potential dictators, who between them repre-
sent wide strata of finance and industrial
capital, and both owners of large newspaper
syndcates, are forced by the logic of the social
fascist developments within the British Labor
Party, to adopt still more reactionary policy
in their strenuous attempts to arrest the de-
cline of British capitalism, or to abandon all
hope of becoming the governing power again.
The primary function of the United Empire
Party seems to be to drive the old Conserva-
tive Party into accepting its policy under the
threat of maintaining the split
The word united can be dropped from the
Empire Party because it is fictitious. There
can be no unity in the British Empire any
more than there can be unity between Beaver

brook and Rothermere and the natives Of those
countries they seek to exploit more deeply. The
British Empire is not unit geographically,
socially, economically, politically, or in any
other way.
What other meaning has the birth Of this
empire party for US? Besides being drive
towards fascsm the Beaverbrook platform has
especially hidden in it an offensive against the
colonial and semi-coonial peoples, for this
cannot be openly stated So these potential
dictators first resort to the subterfuge Of
empire free trade to fool the British workers
into endorsing policy which they falsely be-
leve will relieve unemployment. This is done
in order to make it easier to deepen the ex-
ploitation of the already suppressed workers
and peasants, and ultimately when they do pro-
test, to make armed offensive against them.
In this the empire development policy of the
Labor government enunciated by j. H. Thomas,
is of direct assistance to Beaverbrook for there
is no essential difference between the two
policies. Both are deliberately aimed to equally
fool the British proletariat.
Danger Signal
The Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat
therefore calls upon its affiliated organizations
to be on their guard. The birth of this party
is a danger signal to the workers and peasants.
especially in the Pacific area. Beaverbrook's
policy aims to save British capitalism by at
tempting to balance their national accounts
with additional wealth extracted from the
colonies. 1t is a far-reaching policy which can
only be achieved by laying the whips to the
backs of the already over burdened natives of
Africa, Arabia, India, Malay, China etc.
Not only is Beaverbrook's policy indicative
of greater exploitation of both British workers
and colonial and semi-colonial peoples. but it
also constitutes effectively direct offensive
against the U. S. A., Britans chief competitor.
This also brings the world war much nearer
and suggests warning to us to intensity our
tight against all preparations for imperiaist
war.
Fight War Danger.
The Pan-Pacific Trade Union Secretariat has
always made its fight against the war danger
one OF the strongest points of it's program. We
must therefore answer the Beaverbrooks. the
Ihomases, MacDonalds, etc. Whether thew hail
from the House of Lords or the Labor PARTY
makes little difference, the police of the iron
rod hurts just as much wrapped in silk as
furnished by the Labor imperialsts. Each af-
flllated organization must simultaneously pre-
pare for united struggle against imperialism
linking up the struggle with the workers of
the imperialist countries.
This is the answer to those who seeI,
TO TOOL the masses, who seek to introduce fas
clsm impose greater colonial exploitation. who
make constant war the Soviet Union and
prepare to slaughter millions of workers in
another world war.

Years Gain or Loss

While this loss in the hope of long life has
become more marked in recent years, the ten
dency is not new. 1t has been evident to in
surance experts for long time. AS long ago
as 1912, even before the war flung us into
an intensified era of mass production and high
pressure, Elmer E. Rttenhouse of the Equita-
bic Life Assurance Society said:
"The average length of an American life
has increased about Is years in the last Gen.
fury. and yet the span of life is being short
ened During the last 80 years the general
death rate has decreased approximately Is per
cent, and yet the chances of early death after
the passing of the age of 40 have steadily in
creased"
Under the name of naturalization" heav-
Ter and faster machinery, speed-up methods,
the recruiting of younger workers who can
stand sitter pace, are the order of the day
in all industry. In addition, the workers face
low wages. inadequate food, miserable homes,
and unemployment All these factors work
together to shorten the average life in Amer
lea, and will do so until the workers take pos
session of the industries and ratonalize them
in their own way and for their own benefit. :.

from the Party scoundrel, who, under the
name of Paul F. Bishop, joined the Party in
Baltimore, Nd, where he arrived from Phila-

The Pope as the Ally of the
Gar

(By Inprecorr Press Seruice)
The Leningrad department of the Soviet
Central Archive has discovered interesting
documents concerning the relations between the
Roman Pope and the Czarist government from
1883 up to the outbreak of the February revou-
ton. The Pope played leading part in or
ganizing the reaction against the revolution of
1905 In letter addressed to the Polish bishops
and dated the 30th of November, 1905 the Pope
makes bitter attack on the Socialists and ap-.
peals to the Polish Catholics to rally to the
Church and to obey the Czarist authorities i'm
plicitly. Plus x also appeals for positive re-
dictionary measures against the revolution by
the organization of special associations for the
protection of religion and ordered government.
The letter condemns the instruction energeti-
cally and demands that catholic students should
keep themselves away from politics. The Polish
Catholics should under all circumstances remain
loyal to the Russian Empire. In conclusion Pope
Plus x praises the "wisdom and goodness of
the bloody Car Nicholas II.
Further documents expose the activities of
the reactionary Polish Catholic association call
ed into being by Pope Leo XVIII under the
leadership of Catholic landowners, Industrial
lists, financiers and catholic priests. This as

since the first mortality records were estab-
lished at Washington and that they have now
reached such pass that all the great gains
at the early ages are already more than off
set by the losses at advanced ages" In short
on the basis of 40 mortality tables which he
constructed to throw light on the question,
Prof. Forsythe concludes: "The average length
of life in this country is now actually de-
creasing."
Detailed information on this decrease of life
is contributed by the Statistical Bulletin of
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
based on the experience of its hundreds of
thousands of policy holders. According to a
table published by this company the only per-
sons whose expectancy of life increased be-
tween 1921 and 1927 were children one year,
and old folks of 81 and 107.
All other children, including children one
year old and over youths, and men and women
in the prime of working life, could actually
count on fewer years to live in 1927 than they
could have at the same ages in 1921. A boy
girl of II lost almost year. A worker
of 27 lost nearly a year and quarter A
man or woman of 81 lost practically year
and five months.

Socialist Competition in Col

Methods of socialist competition and shock
brigades are vastly applied in collective farms.
These methods were introduced and popularized
by the industrial workers sent there for organ
national work The latter are endeavoring to
bring Thorough change into the organization
of labor in collective farms. They do every
thing to speed up the work. to allot to every
collective farm member special task, to keep
strict account and to control the work done.
"Crack" collective farms were ready for
sowing sooner than the others. They gained in
authority and began to attract members.
They also help adjoining collective farms by
setting an example to them.

ARE American workers lives growing longer
IL or shorter?
Every employer in the country, together
with his highly paid ex-radcal apologists, his
A. F. of L. fascist heutenants, and his social
fascist socialist party advocates of gradual
Improvement into socialism, holds that the
workers are now living longer than ever
before.
Every Communist, every MarXist in the
country, knows differently. He knows that as
capitalism develops break-neck speed-up sys-
TENS on one hand, combined with insecurity
and unemployment on the other, the workers
are dying off at earlier and early ages. And
day by day the scientific facts are piling up to
prove the employers and reformists wrong,
while the Communists and Marxists are cor
rect.
The latest scientist to present the evidence
against the life-shortening effects of the new
capitalism is Dorothy G. Wiehl of the re-
search staff of the Millbank Memorial Fund.
At health conference of seven private and
governmental agencies dealing with public
health, held in New York on April 3, she
stated:
"a lower mortality in the early years of
life, especially among babies, and fewer deaths
from the more infectious diseases have in
creased the expectancy of life at birth. But
death is taking an increasing toll among adults
in the prime of life and after middle age"
The drop is less marked for women than for
men, probably because fewer women are direct
ly employed in industry, but it exists for BOTH
A few months ago this trend to shorter
lives for Americas adult workers was force
fully pointed out by Prof c. H. Forsythe of
Dartmouth College, in Science. Forsythe
agrees that the apparent average expectation
of life in this country increased between 1890
and 1920. But he points out two important
facts about this apparent increase. First,
shat practically all these results have been
attained in childrens diseases and that little
no attention has been given to the situa-
ton at ages beyond the prime of life" And
second "that conditions in this country at adj
vanced ages have been on the down grade ever
