PARTY. ISSUES
HUNGERPA MPHLET

NEW WORKINGS distribution in
hundreds of thousands of copies is
planned for the five-cent pamphlet
entitled Fight Against Hunger" con-
tanning the statement read by Will
liam T. Foster before the Fish Com
mitee in Washington early in Decen-
Der.
The Fish Committee literally glow
cred when they heard Foster read
this exposure of mass hunger among
the workers. The statement, which
was drafted by the Communist Party,
U. S. A., is an indictment of the
entire capitalist system. 1t exposes
the misery and starvation of the
workers and give the program of
struggle of the Communist Party
against hunger.
While it was read to the Fish Com
mittee it was in reality addressed to
the American workers.
This small pamphlet of 80 pages
should be read by millions of work
ers. In brief form it shows how the
workers fare under capitalism, espe-
cially during the present severe crisis,
and what they must do to smash the
attempts of the capitalist to unload
the burden of the crisis on the hacks
Of the workers.

SOCIALIST CONVENTION FOR LEFT"
PHRASES TO FOOL WORKINGCLASS

democratic philosophy, This will lead
you too far"
Hillquit explained that it, was nee
essary to fool the workers, but there
was a danger in praising actual ac-
complishments of the Soviet Union,
in letting the workers know that this
method can be achieved by Commu-
mist action only. Militant" phrases
to Hillquit means sidetracking the
workers to safe action within capt.
talism and in the interest of CAPT.
talism.
What the Militant" Said.
Then up spoke one of the mill
tants," in fact the leader, Stanley.
Stanley said he had been studying.
He even mentioned Marx several
times, though to him Marxism was a
philosophy which supplied good left
phrases with which to- support Mac
Donald, the German Socialist Party,
and TO mislead the American workers
Stanley made long speech But
in a nutshell it was this: The socialist
party has been going backward. 1t
has too many propertied people in it.
1t must go to the workers and do
what the Independent Labor Party
is doing in England-support imper-
ialism through left phrases. Stanley
even had a good word for Mosleys
fascist dictatorship proposal. He is
clever enough to know that the build
ing up of socialism in the Soviet
Union under the Five Year Plan is
having a tremendous effect on the
workers everywhere. So he proposes
the socialists approve of it but tell
the workers that only the socialists
can do it properly. One delegate
yelled out: They haven't got social
ism, they have slavery. Lots of them
have the same ideas as Ham Fish.

and what was embodied in a resolu-
f,cn passed by a good majority, name
ly, that there is no difference between
Norman Thomas, Waldman, Hilquit,
and the so-called "nilitants." The
"militants' ca forward with the
idea that the socialist party IS not
serving its real purpose Of fooling the
working class. In order to do it
sharper phrases must be used They
felt that the workers had been dis
gusted by the Broun Glowing cam
paign, and as one delegate put it, it
actually went further than the repub-
lican and democratic party.
No, they all agreed, nilitants and
otherwise, this would not do. To win
workers in the interest of betrayal
you must use left phrases. The reso-
luton says the socialists have to go
after "the wage-w workers"
One fat delegate got up, a little
riled at too much emphasis on wage
workers" His front glistened with a
loud silk shirt. His short neck bulged
from his collar Breadlines and fac
tories were as foreign to him as they
are to the rest Of the delegates.
"We have an ignorant working class
in this country" he bemoaned. They
have nothing, they want nothing, and
they will fight for nothing. We who
have a little and want more are in
telligent and know what we want. 1t
is the lawyers and doctors that the
socialist party must appeal to. We
must be American in our approach.
Do not depend on the workers"

SOVIET CHILDREN SEND GREETINGS
TOCIASS-WAR PRISONERS IN U.S.
ARE RAISING RELIEF FOR FAMILIES
Tell of ChiIdren's Struggle Against Religious
Poison of the Capitalists and Activities in
Building Up Socialist Construction

NEW YORK.--In a letter from the
children of the Soviet Union to the
three class-war prisoners in the AL
leghany County prison serving five
year sentences unde rthe Flynn anti
sedition act for their militant activ-
ity, they tell of the work of MOPR
(Russian l.. L. d., the children's
struggle against religious decep-
tons and the raising of funds,
made up Of voluntary donations" for
the Winter Relief Campaign of the
International Labor Defense. The
letter is to Peter NIuselin, Tom lima
and Milan Resetar and is from the
pupils Of the Seven Glass School"
in Kokima, Iyanovsk Industrial
Region.
The letter, coming right in the
midst Of the bourgeois Christmas
holiday, illustrates graphically the
difference between the poisonous at
mosphere in the United States slim
uiated by religious teachings and
propaganda and the clear scientific
and healthy point of view of the
first Socialist Republic. In writing
of the work of the branch of the
Russian 1. L. D.. the children sey:
I'VE pupils of the Seven Glass
School are trying to enlist as many
members as possible for this organ
ization. All members of this nu-
cleus exclaim down with religious
deeeptions,' wipe religion off the face
OF socialism by the powerful wave of

and turning it into barn Of grain"
Then the letter inquiries of the
three workers in prison of their life
while incarcerated and telling them
they are collecting funds for the re-
lief of their wives and children who
are suffering because Of the persecu-
ton by the boss class. The letter
goes on to say:
Comrades, we wish to know pre-
cisely what are the conditions of
your prison life, what food you get
how you were imprisoned. From the
newspapers, magazines, etc, we know
that your condition is bad, but a
frequent communication with us
could perhaps make it easier We
are striving, comrades, with all our
might to help you, Our MOPR

The letter concludes with flaming
greetings" and promise to actively
participate in the protest against the
terror carried on by the boss class
of America

same time building up the work of
