promptly has cost William Lavarre $500.
The youthful Columbia, s. c., news

fine or taking 60-day jail term.
At that time Lavarre's attorneys

III. The Party

opinion that our system does not involve split
between the peasantry and the working class
and therefore it is unnecessary to ensure that
a correct line of policy be laid down with re-
spect to the social groups in the village. In
any case the kulak will grow into Socialism,
and the alliance between the workers and peas
ants will be secured in he natural course of
events. This is an equally wrong and foolish
idea Those who maintain this fail to grasp
that the policy of the Party, the more so that
it is Party which has the power in its hands.
here forms the decisive factor determining the
fate of the alliance between the workers and
peasants. Lenin regarded the danger of
split between the working class and the peas.
antry as by no means impossible. Lenin said
that "such a split is not necessarily involved
in our social structure" but that should "seri-
our class differences of opinion arise between
these two classes, then the split will be I'M
avoidable." Il this connection Lenin was of
the opinion that:
at is the main task of our c. c. and of
our C.C.C. and also of our Party as whole
to follow with close attention the circum-
stances out of which the split may arise, and
to prevent it; for the fat2 of our republic
will ultimately depend on whether the peas
ant masses will follow the working masses
and remain true to the alliance or whether
they will permit the 'Nepmen,' that is. the
real bourgeoiaie to separate and split them
from the workers"
Consequently, split between the working
class and the peasantry is not impossible. but
it is not absolutely necessary, since our system
affords The possibility of avoiding this split
and of consolidating the alliance between the
workers and peasants. What is now required
in order to convert this possibility into reality?
In order to realize the possibility of avoiding
the split, the roots of capitalism must be torn
up by means of the organization of collective
and Soviet farms, and we must advance from
the policy of restricting the exploiting tenden-
cies of the kulak to the policy of liquidating
the kulak as class
We see that we must distinguish sharply be-
tween the possibilities contained in our system
and the utilization of these possibilities their
conversion into reality.
Cases may occur in which the possibilities
of victory exist, but the Party fails to observe
them or to utilize them properly, so that in
stead of victory we may experience defeat.

the N.E.P. assures for US the victory of So

emphasized that this is wrong and foolish
idea. To maintain this is to negate the role
played by the Party in the building up of So

that the N.E.P. guarantees US the victory. All
that Lenin said was that "the N.E.P. certainly

politically, of laying the foundations of social

By r. DOONPING

WHILE the Chinese Revolution advances by
leaps and bounds toward the establishment
Of a Soviet Republic in China, war clouds of
extensive imperialist intervention for the sup
preston of the revolution are gathering fast
and are becoming increasingly menacng.
1t is high time that American workers be-
come conscious of the necessity of immediate
action for a militant struggle against the war
on the Chinese Revolution.
The present large-scale offensive of the Chin
csc Red Armies in the Yantze Valley dates
back to May, when the All-China Soviet Con-
gress clarified the political perspective and
consolidated the then scattered Red forces for
concerted drive against the Kuomintang
regime of Imperialism and native reaction in
China.
Things have been moving fast since that
time. Large armed workers and peasants
forces, well disciplined and intelligently led"
even according to the imperiaist press, have
been spreading and deepening the revolution in
the countryside in many provinces and are
marching on several of the biggest and most
important cities in Central China
As the red forces march on, fresh local
workers and peasants swell the ranks while
soldiers Of the Marking army often join in
with their guns and ammunition. The Red
Armies thus grow like snow balls.
Now, after taking Changsha, in conjunction
with uprisings of workers in the city, the Red
armies are on the verge of assisting the work
ers in Hankow and Kiukiang, two of the key
cities on the Yangtze River, to successful in
surrection and the extension of the workers
and peasants rule in China
Rush Warships
The imperialist powers, of course, are al
armed. Instead of relying upon their own
forces already stationed in various parts of
China, and their Chinese lackeys, the Kuo-
mintang militarists, for their attempt at sup
pressing the revolution, the various imperialist
powers are feverishly preparing for a large
scale military intervention.
This situation, which has been repeatedly
pointed out by the Daily Worker in the news
stories, is now admitted by the capitalist press.

tor, frankly confesses, "A possibility that the

vently hates, participate actively in the build
ing of the national industries. They take an
increasingly important part in the building of
socialism under the Five Year Plan. AS Mr..
Woll detests socialism it is obvious that he
should be peddling lies about those who are
trying to create a socialist industry.
The workers in the Russian unions take the
greatest aid most personal interest in pro-
duction, in new inventions, in everything that
carries industry forward. Why? Because these
workers are already sharing in the results of
increased productivity. They are not subject
to more intense work or speed-up They are,
instead, the beneficiaries of every new develop
ment in production.
What are the concrete evidences of this? The
seven-hour day. The five-day week. The full
est social insurance in any country. Vaca-
lions with pay Economic security. Educa-
tional and cultural opportunities exceeding
those of trade unonists in any other land
These are few of the reasons why the $50
cialist competition" of the workers has made
such progress in the Soviet Union.
| remember some of the advantages workers
told us they derived from union membership
in the Soviet trade union Here are only a
few of them: Free dental, medical and other
dspensares. Reduced rates for all sorts of
services, including rent, light, housing and
amusement. A better chance to get to a rest
home or health resort. Credit in the con-
sumers' cooperatives. Educational and health
advantages for the children of the trade union
ist Additional benefits in case of unemploy-
ment.
But do the workers really take part in these
unions that mean much to them? The
question seems quite crazy to who has
had a chance to investigate the working of
,,pint ~, oil ,o,+e of 81

discussion in my life than in the meetings of
the textile workers union that l attended in
Moscow province. The workers were alert,
keen, able to express themselves about the
most vital questions of industry and govern
ment. They seemed entirely conscious of the
fact that it their industry, their govern
ment, their social system that they were de-
veloping with their own hands and out of their
experiments and struggles.
! wonder if Mr.. Woll is aware of the fact that
the unions have representatives in almost all
the leading governing bodies of the Soviet Gov
eminent. They select the Commissar of Labor
exactly as though the Secretary of Labor of
the U. S. were selected by the organized work
ers of the United States. They also select
many lower officials in the department of la
Dor, and well represented in the depart
ments which operate the extensive system of
social insurance.
All legislation affecting labor is passed with
the consent Of the unions and after the most
thorough discussion. In other words, the con-
ventions of the unions are, in sense, legisla
ture OF the country, supplementing the Con
gress of Soviets On the economic and indus
trial organs OF the government they also have
their representatives. They are on the State
Planning Commission which devised the Five
Year Plan. They are represented also on

The same question arises again and again:
Has the Party proved capable of fully utilizing
the possibilities and advantages created by the
Soviet system; has it done everything that
be done for the realization of these possibilities,
to the end that the maximum of success may
be assured for our work of reconstruction?
In other words: Have the Party and its Cen
trail Committee guided the building up of So
cialism properly during the period just past?
What is necessary for the correct guidance
of the Party under the present circumstances?
Apart from everything else, the correct guild
ance of the Party requires above all that the
line of the Party is the right one, that the
masses recognize the Brightness of the Party
