coming from the members of the units them
selves. The district has also taken up the
question of revolutionary competition and has
challenged three other districts for the drive;
Seattle District IL, for marine, lumber and

and agricultural workers; Connecticut District

by other districts but have not yet been re-

International Publishers are now at work IN
preparing for publication Volume XVIII of
Lenin's Collected Works "The Imperialist
War" This volume contains Lenin's writings
from the middle of 1914 to the end of 1915.
In November. 1915, Lenin, having received
from America literature from the Socialist
Propaganda League, sent them a copy of the
pamphlet Socialism and War; written by him
and Zinoviev, and also a letter in which he
touched upon the various questions raised in
the leaflets of the Socialist Propaganda League.
The Russian edition of Volume XVIII, pre-
pared by the Lenin Institute includes only a
part of this letter, and the editors state that
the first part of the original Of this letter
has not been preserved.

lish edition of Lenn's Collected Works on the
revised Lenin Institute edition, are very anxi-

letter to the Socialist Propaganda League is

Some OF the Worse Forms of
Opportunism

differentiate between the methods Of the CP.
and the methods of the SIP. Perhaps they may
have hurt each others feelings had they voted
by open ballot.
This is TIE en- zee in only one Party unit
in the ay.,,iracite. In another unit, some other
members, also Lithuanian comrades, attacked
the Party Lithuanian organizer in non-party,
fraternal organization. These comrades per-
mitted the Party to be criticized, and not only
did not object, but joined in the fun of Party
batting. These comrades do not consider them
selves as Communists working in the fraternal
organizations, but as fraternal organization
people functioning incendentally in the Party.
In the same town, other Party comrades "old
bolsheviks" they think themselves to be, have
been for 10 years and more in the Party. They
have gotten in very few if any new members
into the Party. In the Recruiting Drive they
have gotten in no one new member. But the
label of "old bolshevik" peases them nightly
without they themselves doing thing to JUS
tify this high distinction they easily place
on themselves.
Need Fresh Blood.
1t is the most difficult thing to get these
comrades to buy or to sell The Daily Worker.
They do not conduct work in their Mines be-
ing content with attending their unit meetings,
and believing that their revolutionary duty be-
gins and ends there.
Our Party in the anthracite certainly needs
spring house cleaning. We need some new
fresh blood, that will make the Party a living
force in the class struggle The passivity of
old age is present with only too many Party
comrades, and in our membership drive we
have made feeble beginnings in the direction
of winning newer and younger elements And
this state of affairs exists in other parts of
the Party, but undoubtedly not in such acute
fashion.
"The traditions of the past weigh like an
Alps on the minds of the living"-but the
Party of Lenin in America must proceed to
uproot these ira ltions so that no trace of them
will ever survive to plague our Party again.
The fight against the rght-wing danger is
not yet overt has only been begun!

AMERICAN imperialism spends one-haf bill
Zion dollars more each year on wars, past, pres
ent and future, than is expended on all types of
public education in the United States This sit
uation is revealed when figures presented by
two outstanding figures in the capitalist world,
Hoover and Mellon, are examined and COM
pared.
Hoover's analysis of the proposed Federal
budget for 1881 las reported in N. Y. Times
on December s. 1920 shows that out of total
budget of 1880, 445231, the amount of $2,733,-
213,283 will be devoted for payments of past
wars and those that may occure in the future"
This amounts to approximately 72 cents out of
every dollar spent. Another two million dol
lars is expended on administration of terri
tories and dependencies, bringing the total
spent for these mperialistic purposes to nearly
two and three-q quarters of billion annually.
This figure does not include the vast sums ex-
pended each year to maintain the armed forces
of class rule within the country, in the form
of State militia (nearly S42,000000 was spent
for this purpose by States in 1920, State con-
stabuary, police and courts and other agen-
ces.
Mellon, in his 1927 Report on State of FL
nances by Secretary of the Treasury" makes

dents of public finance that the peace-time bud

costs of past and future wars Up. 19). Well,
Engels and Lenin explained the reasons for
this situation to the workers some years ago
and, Mr.. Mellon, the workers have not forgot
ten it.
The bulk of the funds for public education
comes from State and local governments, the
Federal Administration approprating but four
teen and one-half million toward these pur
poses. According to the latest figures avail
able S2,200789, 900 is spent annually on all
form of public education in the United States,
including public elementary schools high schools,
universities and colleges. When privately en-
dowed institutions are included and their net
expenditures added to this sum, the figure
reaches an estimated total of two and one-half

The Negro Joins the Struggle!
By L. WOODARD.

THE wealth of America which it contains to-
day, was brought about chiefly by the Negro
slaves who were brought to America from other
countres-of course, there were white slaves
in America before there were any Negroes,
but they were few in comparison. So the big
landowners decided that they wanted more
profit, therefore the empires of Europe began
to transport Negroes to the landowners of this
country. And with what joy did the land
owners hail the Dutch ship Treasure when
it landed at jamestown, w. Va. in August,
1619 and set on shore the first 20 big strong
Negroes for sale. This was the beginning of
Negro slavery in America These twenty Ne
groes of the wilds of Africa were the pioneers
who opened the road of suffering for the Ne
gro race in this country. After these few
were brought to this country, the bosses were
on the road to solve the question of labor
power, putting forth these Negroes to work
in addition to the white slaves.
Then the landowners were able to deepen their
roots into the life of the new country and to
live more luxuriously.
In $50, another ship, the Fortune" arrived
with large cargo of Negroes who were sold
for rum, tobacco, etc. Then no other ship
with Negroes arrived until 1886, the "Desre."
At the beginning the trade grew very slow
ly. We find that New York and New England
were the center of the Incorporated West In
dian Company. Also the Dutch plunderers
were located on Manhattan Island where the
city Of New York now stands. This company
stated that it wouii supply the colonists with
money, slaves as it could, and it did so. After
1850 slavery spread like wild fire. Even after
the War of independence which overthrow the
British rule, the slave-trade was not dscon-
tnued, but on the contrary, was carried on
more extensively. Just before the war of 1860,
there were some millions Of slaves in this
country.
After the Negroes had been stolen and chain
ed down like dogs, they were burdened down in
this country with this so-called religion What
for? Not for what it says, but to keep you
humble and submissive to the bosses, hindering

WHAT do the words ito give the economic
struggle itself political character which
Martynov uses in presenting the tasks of So
cial-democracy, mean concretely? The econ
omic struggle is the collective struggle OF the
workers against their employers for better
terms in the sale of their labor power for
better conditions of life and labor. This strug-
gle is necessarily struggle according to trade,
because conditions of labor differ very much
in different trades, and consequently, the fight
to improve those conditions can only be con-
Quoted in respect of each trade (trade unions
in the Western countries, temporary trade as
sociations and leaflets in Russia, etc.. To
give 'the economic struggle itself political
character" means, therefore, to strive to Sc
cure satisfaction for those trade demands the
improvement of conditions of labor in each sep
ministrative measures" las Martynov express
es it on the next page of his article, p. 43).
This is exactly what the trade unions do AM
always have done. Read the works of the
thoroughly scientific land thoroughly oppor-
tunist) Mr. and Mrs Webb and you will find
that the British trade unions long ago recog-
nized, and have long carried out the task of
giving the economic struggle itself political
character" they have long been fighting for
the right to strike, for the removal of all
juridicial hindrances to the cooperative and
trade union movement, for laws protecting
women and children, for the improvement Of
conditions of labor by means of sanitary and
factory legislation, ETC.
Thus, the pompous phrase ITO give the
economic struggle itself political character
which sounds so "terrifically' profound and
revolutionary, serves as screen to conceal
what is in fact the traditional striving to de-
grade social-democratic policies to the level Of
trade union policies. On the pretext of rectify-

the Indian masses not only go forward strug-
Cling to better their every day conditions, but
on to open clash with the capitalists--foreign
and Indian--for Soviet Power.

conditions are also hitter. the Indian labor

the Chinese; being at the same time great
stimulus to the rising Negro movement on the

ing '1skra" onesideness, which, it is alleged,
places "the revolutionizng of dogma higher
than the sevolutionizing of life," we are preM
scented with the struggle for economic refornf
as if it were something entirely new. AS Al
matter of fact the phrase "to give the economic
struggle itself a political character means
nothing more than the struggle for economic
reforms. And Martynov himself might have
come to this simple conclusion had he only
pondered over the significance of his own
words. "Our Party he says, turning his
heaviest guns against "Iskra," could and
should have presented concrete demands to the
government for legislative and administrative
measures against economic exploitation, for
the relief of unemployment, for the relief of
the famine-striken, etc. (Rabocheye Dyelo,
No. 10, PIP. AZ, 49,. Concrete demands for
measures-does not this mean demands for
social reforms? And again we ask the i'm.
partial reader, do we SANDER the Rabocheye
Dyeloists (may I be forgiven for this clumsy
expressionD when declare them to be con-
cealed Bernstenists, for advancing their thesisn
about the necessity for fighting for economic \
reforms as a reason for their Disagreement
with 'Iskra?"
Revolutionary socal-democracy always in
cludes, the fight for reforms in its activities.
But it utilities economic agitation for the
purpose of presenting to the government, not
only demands for all sorts of measures, but
also land primarily the demand that it cease
to be an autocratic government. Moreover, it
considers it to be its duty to present this de-
mand to the government, not on the basis Of
the economic struggle alone, but on the basis
of all manifestations of public AMI political
life. In word, it subordnates the struggle
for reforms to the revolutionary struggle for
liberty and for Socialism, in the same way
as the part is subordinate to the whole. Mar
tynov, however, resuscitates the theory OF
stages in a new form, and strives to prosecuts
an exclusively economic, so to speak, path OF
development for the political struggle. By cont
ing out at this moment, when the revolutionary
movement is on the upgrade, with an alleged
special task" of fighting for reforms, he is
dragging the Party backwards, and is playing
into the hands of both economic" and liberal
opportunism.

PARTY RECRUITING DRIVE
Young Communist League Gains Members

The Newark unit still leades the League
with the highest percentage of members,
and the largest number of Negroes. The only
two units that haven't started in the drive as
yet are Yorkvlle and Passac. In the competi-
ton between the units, Downtown No. l is
beating Downtown No ?, Yonkers is beating
Passaic, Newark is beating Paterson, East
New York is beating South Brooklyn, Will
iamsburg is beating Brownsville, Upper Bronx
No. l and Upper Bronx No. are tied, and
Lower Bronx and Harlem No. l are tied. Har-
lem No still has failed to recruit any young
Negroes
The drive thus far has resulted in the organ
ization of three shop nuclei, new unit in Boro
Hall, a new unit in Coney Island and the be-
ginnngs of a unit in Long Island. These are
positive results of the membership drive. The
results are also good in national composition,
the majority Of the new recruits being young
Americans and not jewish
The tempo of the drive is still too slow.
Every unit is rot doing its bit. Every single
League member is not active. Too little fac
tory bulletins are issued (only five the first
two weeks in january. The drive is not based
upon struggle. and too many of the new mem
bers are recruited on the old basis; that is
through personal contact, etc. More attention
to the factories, more recruiting from the
unions and from the struggles, fill the quota
for young Negroes-that is the slogan for the
final three weeks to the Lebknecht demonstra-
ton of February Z.
