the South (whose conditions are
hardly better than the exploited
workers in the colonies) with police
thugs and militia.
War Against U. ST. S. r.
At the same time the Soviet
Union which in the first place has
meant the loss Of a tremendous
market to the capitalist system is
one of the main factors causing
the hatred of the imperialists to-
wards the Soviet Union and for
war on the Soviet Union.
In this period of extreme crisis
in the whole capitalist system the
successful socialist construction, in
naturalization, and the carrying out
of the 5-year Plan of socialist re-
construction is the main factor that
is extending this crisis in capitalism
and undermining its economy.
Coupled with this is the fact that
the Soviet Union stands out as the
beacon light to the workers and OPP
pressed peoples throughout the
world in their struggle against cap
italism. Capitalism is preparing war
against the Soviet Union.
Workers Alive to Issues
A series of spontaneous strikes
mainly against decentralization es-
pecially in the south and that pro-
mise to spread in even greater pro-
portion a wave of struggle in the
coal fields are the evidence of the
reaction of the workers to rationale
zation.
These struggles are raising the
political level of the workers to
tremendous he:ght-the clashes with
the police, the thugs of the bosses
and the state militia; the murder of
workers by hired gunner are all
factors of great political signific-
ance.
1t is not significant when a
southern delegate at National
Convention of Textile Workers
moves a resolution for the with
drawal of the U. S. marines from
Haiti and for unity and solidarity
with the Negro workers of this is
| land which is under the heels of
U. S. imperialism, when an Inter-
national Labor Defense Confer
ence in the south does like wise,
when thousands of workers
throughout this country protest in
mass demonstration against the
Marines of U. S. Imperialism in
Haiti? The workers of this eoun-
try are alive to the fact that their
pauperized conditions flow from
the same cause that produce the
pauperized conditions amongst
the Negro workers of Haiti.
We win the workers only by pick
ing up the strings of militancy OF
the workers by fighting ruthlessly
against the bureaucrats of the
A. F. L. by exposing their role at
every turn by taking the workers
through the whole scope of the
political significance of strikes, by
being daring and ever more daring,
by admitting mistakes and correct
ing them by fighting white chau-
vinism not only dsy by day but at
the most acute crisis during strike,
by giving the greatest attention pos
sible to the unorganized workers, by
drawing constantly new workers in
to leadership of strikes and unions,
by taking up a thousand current
problems that are constantly agitat-
ing tia workers and utilizing them
for carrying on struggle, under the
leadership of the Trade Union Unity
League. @
These tactics are necessary in
this period of acute crisis in capital
ism. Only by the new revolutionary
system of labor unionism Of the
militant class forces of the workers
against the brutal class forces OF
the bosses can the. workers of this
country in bitter class war meet the
conditions Of this period leading on
,, to the capture and destruction OF
the capitalist system and the estab-
lishment of a workers Government
Closest attention to the day to day
needs of the Majority of the work
ing class is necessary in capturing
it for revolutionary aims. s
The Daily Worker too in its 9Th
anniversary becomes very inn
portant organizer in the winning
the majority of the workers. 1t
enters this period of keen and
sharpening class struggles with
q tasks before it as great as the
n tasks of the whole Of the past 6
n years. "'-~
The working class cannot afford
n to under estimate the role of the
e Daily Worker in these days OF
: fierce class battles. 1t is an or
e ganizer of the highest sort and
i character. Besides it has to COM
f bait and struggle against the
combined financial forces and re-
n sources of the capitalist press
e which is organized to highest ex-
m IRENE to mould and to control the
ID mind of the workers for the pur-
