Tradition of Battle.
The Argentine proletariat is ira
ditionally militant. In January,
1919, a strike occurred, and when
police began their terror a general
rising broke out, in which police fled
in panic from the workers, while
the soldiery went over to the side
of the workers. Even at that time
the subjective lack of strong party
of the proletariat was the main OBJ
stacle to a struggle for power.
The New York World dispatch
from Washington shows the joy of

ganize the proletarian nationalist
tion of the banks, and annul the
debts owed to German and foreign
capitalists.
Having attained power, we shall
put an end to the Vaccinations of
the trade magnates, and shall ma
tionalize wholesale trade, create
powerful cooperates really repre-
senting the interests of all workers
and freeing them from predatory
profit makers. With an iron fist
we shall shatter every speculation
exploiting the need Of the workers.
eve shall destroy the capitalist
forms of communal economy, eX-
propriate without compensation the
great house owners, and give the
workers and the poor population
of the cities the houses of the rich.
We shall made sliding scale for
the prices of gas, water, electricity,
rents, means of traffic, and commu-
nal obligations, reducing these to a
minimum for all proletarians and
workers of limited means.
eve shall put a mend to the tax
alton policy of the bourgeoisie. By
means of selling power, exprpria-
ton without compensation of the in
dustrial undertakings, the banks,
the large house property, and whole
sale trade, the working class will
provide for itself all the prerequis-
ties for class economy of the pro-
letarian state. We shall secure So

employed benefit, sick clubs, invalid
and old-age pensions, accident and
war disabled pensions, war widows
and orphans support) unconditional
ly at the expense of the state.
eve shall break the rule of the
great landlords. We shall expro-
pirate their land without compen-
sation and give it to the land-poor
peasants; we shall create Soviet
farms provided with machinery,
give the rural proletariat the same
working conditions as the workers
of the tens, and induce the par
ticipation of many millions of work
ing peasants in the building up Of
socialism.
"By means of the introduction of
the seven-hour day and the four
day working week, and by means of
firm economic alliance with the
Soviet Union and the raising of the
buying powers of the masses, we
shall abolish unemployment. We
shall give to everyone the possibility
of work and shall place the whole
of the productive forces of industry
and agriculture solely at the service
of the workers. We shall secure
for the working women and youth
complete equal political rights, like
pay for like work. We shall raise
wages by means of abolishing en-
ployers' profits, and doing away
with the costs of capitalist econ
omic methods and PREPARATION pay
ments. With Bolshevist memorable
ness we shall apply to all bourgeois
idlers the principle of: He who will
not work shall not eat.
Nothing but the hammer of the
proletarian dictatorship can shatter
the chains of the Young Plan and
of national oppression. Nothing but
the social revolution of the working
class can solve the national prob
lem of Germany"

slow and was disarmed and elected
by longshoremen present.
Where Are the Demands?
The M,W.LU., calling the Sept
20-21 conference, says to the long
shoremen Of the Atlantic coast:
"One year ago, at the time of the
wage agreement, there was a gen
eral demand for better working
conditions-larger gangs, smaller
drafts, enforcement of agreement
etc. What has happened to these
demands?
During the past year overpro-
ductlon, speed-up and the introduc-
ton of new machinery has resulted
in mass unemployment. We find in
all North Atlantic ports, as we'll as
the rest of the U. S. A., that gangs
have been cut down while drafts
have been increased. No sooner is
the hook out Of one sling than an
other is down on top of those work
ing in the hold. The terrific speed
up has resulted in thousands of men
being constantly killed and manned

LILA. Misleaders.
"In some ports like Philadelphia
for instance, the stevedore bosses
have been hiring 50-cent men il
place of S5-cent men, while the
LILA. officials have looked on. The
LILA. is just dues collecting
agency and is not concerned with
the unorganized coastwise men. II

which the governor of the state was
to speak, was complete flop, thu
longshoremen being wise to thu
company outfit and the ALL, a.
result of the sell-out of the stree
car mems strike.
Instead of fighting against thu
reduction of gangs or speed-up the
LILA. officials have betrayed thu
longshoremen by going over to CHI
side of the bosses. This is easil,
proven by the fact that the steve.
dores give every assistance to the
LILA. officials in the collection Of
dues and in return request that the
LILA. officials prevent The long.
shoremen from striking against the
present miserable conditions.
"The LILA. is now nothing more
or less than the strike breaking
machinery of the bosses.

played revolutionary role among
the longshoremen is the once pow

from either organization and the
ugly face of the boss is seen.
Organize and Prepare to Strike.
"In September the LILA. wage
agreement expires. What will be
the outcome? Last year Ryan,
president Of the LILA, not only adj
vocated the acceptance of the
bosses proposals against the de-
mands Of the longshoremen, but
showed himself as their tool when
he openly told the checkers end
clerks local of New York that he
would not stand for any strike but
would replace them with his own
men if they did not yield to the
stevedore bosses demands.
"This year the bosses will again
use Ryan and his gang in an at
tempt to put over a wage cut. What
are we going to do about it? The
Marine Workers Industrial Union
calls on all longshoremen to organ
ize committees of action in prepa-
ration for the struggle. All long
shoremen must prepare to fight.
Follow the example of the long
shoremen on the New Orleans River
Docks who have secured a 20% in
crease in wages as result of the
recent strike under the leadership
Of the Marine Workers Industrial
Union. The New Orleans longshore-
men are consolidating their victory
by organizing dock committees in
preparation for a further strike in
support of the coming struggle of
their fellow workers on the Atlantic
coast, against the attempted wage
cut.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF GERMANY
ISSUES ATTACK ON YOUNG PLAN

BERLIN 0.P.CD.-The Central
Committee of the Communist Party
of Germany, in most important
declaration, setting out it's program
with regard to the Young Plan, and
calling for the establishment of a
dictatorship of the proletariat in
Germany, says:
"Only we Communists are fight
ing against both the Young Plan
and at the same time against the
bandit peace of Versailles, the start
ing point of the enslavement of all
the workers of Germany, against the
Locarno treaty, Dawes Plan, Young
Plan, German-Polish agreement, and
all other international treaties,
agreements and plans originating in
the Versailles treaty. We Commu-
nists are opposed to any payment
of PREPARATIONS, against any payment
of international debts. We declare
solemnly before all the peoples Of
the earth that should we seize power
we shall declare the whole of the
obligations imposed by the Yer
sailles treaty to be null and void,
and that we shall not pay one penny
interest on the imperialist loans.
credits, and capital investments in
Germany. We lead and organize
the struggle against taxes aud
duties, against the raising of rents
and communal tariffs, against re,
duced wages, unemployment and all
attempts to thrust the burdens of
the Young Plan onto the working
population of town and country.
eve Communists declare that We
do not recognize any forced affilia-
ton of people or part of a people
in another national state system,
that we recognize no frontier drawn
without the consent of the working
masses and the real majority of the
population. We Communists are OPP
posed to the territorial plundering
of Germany carried out on the au-
thority of the Versailles treaty.
eve shall tear up the bandit Yer
sailles treaty and the Young Plan
which are enslaving Germany; we
shall annul all the national debts
and reparation payments imposed
on the German workers by the capt.
talists.
eve Communists will defend the
full rights of self determination for
all nations, and will secure, with
the agreement of the revolutionary
workets of France, England, Po-
land, Italy, and Czechoslovakia, the
possibility of affiliation to Soviet
Germany to those German districts
who express wish for this.

Germany:
Germany today is unprotected
and isolated, but Soviet Germany,
leaning upon nine tenths of the
population, and possessing the SYM
patty of the workers of all coun-
tries, need not fear the attacks of
foreign imperialists. We point out
to the workers of Germany that the
Soviet Union has been able to re-
pulse successfully the intervention
of world capital solely thanks to the
support given it by the workers of
all countries, and to the aid of its
unconquerable Red Army.
