LET US ALL
INVESTIGATE
BY HARRISON GEORGE

the capitalist congress has before it
a proposal, in fact several propos-
ais, to ''investigate" the Commun-
lists. Now, it stands to reason that
if the capitalists, your bosses, take
the Communists seriously enough to
Investigate" them, it is because the
said bosses are getting afraid that
you, yes, YOU! are not safe to run
loose in the same shop as the Com
minists, for fear you would catch
/ Communism and then something bad
for the boss but good for you would
happen. Therefore, these moves to-
ward the aim of outlawing the Com
munist Party.
This being the case, don't you
think it's a good idea for the workers
themselves to Investigate the Com
munists ?" Fortunately, the Com
munists are right willing to be in
vestigated by workers, in fact they
have offered all workers a chance
to investigate the Communist Party
and its program.
The Communist Party has nothing
to hide from the workers. 1t pub
fishes its opinions, its programs, its
resolutions, so every worker can
find out just what the Communists
stand for by consulting the Commun-
lists and not some anti-Communist
sucker of the bosses.
1t is going to hold national con-
vention next month, and being a
really democratic organization it
consults it's members on the Thesis
(the statement or proposaD drawn
up by the Central Committee on the
Economic and Political Situation.
But, more! 1t even invites all
workers who are earnestly DESTROYS
of advancing the interests of the
working class, to participate with
the members of the Communist
Party in discussing its Thesis, to
attend its meetings where the cor
rectness of the Thesis is being ar
gued, to write for its paper, the
"Daily Worker" on their opinion
whether they are members of the
Party or not.
The Communist Party publishes
just off the press-a pamphlet of
SO pages that sells for Csc, which
gives not only the general Thesis,
but seven resolutions dealing with
particular tasks and problems which
grow out of the viewpoint and pro-
posals of the Thesis.
For if worker might think that
he couldn't begin to dispute points
in the main Thesis, he certainly
would be fully able and deeply inter-
ested in discussing the points of the
Resolution on Building the Trade
Union Unity League, for example;
or the Resolution on the work of the
work of the Communists in Chicago
(No. 81 District, where the practic-
! al application of the policies is shown
in detail and how they worked out
in mines, shops, ETC., gives anybody
an interesting picture of how a
Communist Party district is run,
the difficulties it meets and over
comes, the way some make mistakes
on policy and how the Party corrects
such mistakes.
Another Resolution which all the
textile mill bosses at least will
read--will be the Resolution on Our
Tasks in the South. If the bosses
read Communist programs in order
to fight them, why shouldn't all
workers read them to see what
makes the bosses so sore? Certain
ly every Southern worker who has
heard about Gastonia, and many
Northern workers also can free
themselves only by aiding their
southern comrades, certainly all
these will be interested in finding
out just what this Communist Reso-
dution on the South says.
There are four other resolutions,
one on the Organization of Fac
tory Nuclei''-which is one of the
chief tasks of the Communists.
Another is on Communist "Frac-
tons, which explains so that any
one can understand, just why, and
how and what for, the Communist
Party has its members organized in
other organizations such as trade
unions. This has been a cause for
labor takers to howl their heads off,
but here the Communists tell just
why it is necessary for workers in
ter"sla. Also, just how it is done.
The last two resolutions give the
Communist policy on revolutionary
work of agitation and organization
among the many millions of lang
