Where, Indeed, are
the Fathers?
BY JORGE

Dear Red Sparks:-Wil you please tell me
whexe are the kids of our fathers? Please read
on:
In 1926 took % Passaic strikers children to
the Pioneer camp at Nitgedaiget, There I met
a tiny little fellow. He seemed too tiny for his
tongue I showed some interest in him, where
upon Comrade Hoffman, their directress, bawled
me out for monkeyng around with the kids.
Years passed and this little fellow gave a fairly
good account Of himself Harry Esman).
In the sinking, dumpy capital of New jersey
Trenton, there were in years gone by girls and
boys of an intellectual and socialistic nature
They married and begot children, joined the
Communist Party after the socialist party split.
These so-called reds begot little reds, and
finally Pioneer movement.
The school authorities of Trenton, like in your
city, don't like Pioneers. OK" says our big
mamma and papa reds" I'VE shall withdraw
our children from the Pioneers. But, please,
Miss Principal (NIiss Dunn, may we have a
'Shula? Really that's not SO bad"
Well" said she, you may have your Schula,
and your banquets and even sell red ribbons
there too" eyes, we'll behave" said they.
Three weeks ago our bunch was spunky enough
to refuse adnttance to the A,N.L.C. for meet
ing. You know if ever the 'niggers' got in, our
white kids would refuse to attend the Shula!
Where are the kids of our fathers?--C. S. S.

she:
Don't you think it's cruel for the Communists

Just because we happen to be in period of
depression right now-what do you do instead of
trying to make the load easier for our rulers
who are suffering so? What do you do but try
to stir up discomfort? Pretty soon things will
be fine again, next summer, for sure and then
we will be where we were last year-the happiest
country of workers in the world, what with day

chance to enjoy more sunshine and radios and

cruel? Why, you actually rejoice when there is

" is limited, I must shoot. am a representa-
tive from Section of the League OF Struggle for
Negro Rights of Chicago. I want to relate to
you near race riot inspired by Congressman
DePriest in Chicago about month ago. When
we went to Washington Park, we saw the danger
of this poisonous propaganda against the foreign
born. I was out there alone one day and saw
the possibilities of being shot, but I took my
chance. Comrades, had about mile to walk.
I walked from one of the crowd of about LOO
hungry angry men to the other. I said I am
going to speak here today. I a radical and
De Priest says shoot my kind. I want you to
be my Defense Corps. So after going from one
to the other mounted up on city water plug
and began to speak, and said, Fellow Work
ers, the foreign born workers are not your enc
mics. They, too, are exploited and oppressed.
Your enemies are the Bosses"
There are $4,000 unemployed workers in Chi
cago sleeping on the concrete When the weather
gets colder, will be intense suffering In Chicago,
one night, counted 81 women, 26 of them
Negro women sleeping on the ground. There are
100000 facing starvation One-fourth of the
population.
When was passing in review before General
Pershing and the other Generals in the World
War, heard him say, You boys who are passing
now, some Of you will return and some will not,
but you who are left will go back to your re-
spective governments and there you will receive
the same social equality and have home of
peace and happiness" Ten years later these
same soldiers can not find job, their mothers

In my last remarks, want to say that we
must wipe out the lynching terror of the bosses.

Soviet Workers Can Enjoy Life
BY JAMES BARNETT.

THE illiteracy and cultural backwardness i'm
posed upon the great masses of Russian
peasants and to lesser degree the industrial
workers by czarisrn were staggering In 1920
almost out of of the rural jewellers (722 per
cent?, and 2 out of of the urban population
we're illiterate. Secondary and higher educa-
ton, the privileges of handful of specially
favored, were tightly closed to the whole mass
of toilers.
In the face of the great destruction of the
civil war, the handicaps of poor equipment, lack
of buildings and teachers, the Soviet Union has
built up its educational program so that this
fall compulsory education is to be enforced
throughout the Union for children between
and Is years of age. This advance was made
during the period when the workers were putting
forward the greatest efforts to rebuild industry,
which had also been shattered by the World
War and Civil War. 1t is powerful testimonial
to the benefits of socialism.
Besides this the liquidation of illiteracy among
adults is being pushed most theoretically; the
Five-Year Plan provides for a solution of this
problem among those between the ages OF Is
and 35. AS sample of the progress being
made, Isvestia reported DULY %. 1880 that dur
ing the last years alone. 10 million illiterate
adults have been taught to read and write.
Newspapers and books are being provided to
the population in quantities far out-reaching
previous numbers. In 1929 there were only
$500 moving picture houses but by 1929-30 the
number will have increased to $4,000. This year
radios were to total 100000 (receiving sets).
Many sorts of cultural clubs have been formed,
such as Popular Mechanics" Down with Il
hteracy" and the GALL Union Council for Ply
steal Culture" besides the many cultural activi-
ties conducted by the trade unions, Young Com
munists, cooperatves and other organizations.
The demands of the masses break through all
barriers as they begin to enjoy privileges which
were formerly reserved for the few.
A unique feature of mass education is the
cultural work and influence of the Red Army.
This is a great school not only for the Red
Soldiers themselves, but they in turn become
teachers and leaders for the masses in every
day life. The Red soldiers are not only fighters,
knowing what they are fighting for, they are
builders of socialism and a society where war
will be thing of the past where human beings
can lead truly cultural life instead of being
held back and oppressed by the barbarism of
civilized" capitalism.
These are only some of the cultural achieve
ments But even from these it becomes clearly
understandable why the toilers of the Soviet
Union are ready to undergo all sacrifices in
order to build and defend socialism against all
enemies

NOMRADE Chairman and Fellow Delegates, ]
v think when we chose the new name 1.-THE
League of Struggle for Negro Rights" we have
chosen well, and it should serve to give us the
first chance of going on the offensive. We have
been fighting on the defensive and 1t is now time
to go out on the offensive We not only came
here to talk, but to organize to fight. This is the
spirit in this convention. I am sorry that condi-
tons made it impossible for me to get here
earlier, but see that now we will be able to
carry forward and build fighting organization.
I have heard delegates from various sections
of the country and they tell about the segrega-
tions, inperiaist oppression and determinations
in the South, but want to say we are faced with
the same conditions in Buffalo. Lynchings and
segregations are not limited to the South
In Buffalo, we have Negro population that
has grown to about $4,000, many of these re-
Gently came from the South The Negroes have
been segregated to certain streets and we have
established little Negro Harlem.
We have over go members in the League now
and we find ourselves growing very fast. We
find this: That the League will grow through
struggles and if we struggle for better conditions
and against discrimination, we will be able to
grow. We have been able to carry on something
of struggle. We have carried on fight against
an eviction OF a worker; we stood all night and
picketed the workers. The police could not
break up the demonstration and the sheriff
changed his mind about evicting this worker.
Now, they wait until and O'Clock in the
morning to set family out into the streets.
want to say that convention like this will give
us inspiration to go out and fight and eliminate
Jim Crowism and segregations and evictions,
and We must go back to our districts and deter
mine to fight harder engage in more struggles
and organize our Defense Corps.

police, plus an extra supply of tear gas bombs.
were needed In order to cope with any "unruly
mobs" of Rockford.
In Wisconsin, Ex-Governor Kohler favored the
proposal for the establishment of a state police
force. 1t now appears that Mr.. La Toilette
governor elect--the "progressive"-will not op-
pose this measure.
In the state of Indiana, similarly, the proposal
for the establishment of state police force is
under consideration by the state legislature.
Clearly the capitalist class OF Illinois, Wiscon-
sin and Indiana are in deadly fear of the mount
ing anger of the unemployed They are prepar-
ing to meet the demands Of the unemployed
with terror.
On the other hand, fake promises and mea-
sures for relief are being undertaken by the
bosses Let no one make any mistake about it,
these measures are only intended as fake and
smoke screen. When the drbblings of charity
are melted Quit is given only to small part
of the unemployed masses The most needy
cases land this, again, only in part are taken
care of for the purpose of bunting the edge of
the struggle Charity collected on the streets
from workers-charity collected by forced "dona
tons" out of the miserably low payrols of the
employed; days wages taken out of the insult
workers. plus the Inauguration of the stagger
systenl-this is the form Of raising relief pre-
ferred by the bosses. Flop houses are opened up
by Mayor Thompson Of Chicago which was for
merly condemned county jail. Stop is handed
out on the bread-lines; the leavings collected
from the stock-yards and hotels.
The situation daily becomes worse for the I'M
employed. Winter is already here. Workers
must starveor fight! And fight they will for
the right to live This is being demonstrated
more clearly every day. 1t is up to the Unem-
ployed Councils Of Chicago ST. Louis, Granite
City, Milwaukee, Rockford, etc, and the Trade
Union Unity League to give daily and concrete
leadership to the struggles and needs of the un-
employed. sf H

Especial Cable to the Daily Worker.)
BY WILHELM PECK

MOSCOW, Dec. 1.--When the october Revolu-
in ton broke out in 1917, and the Bolshevih
seized power, one of their first acts was to open
the cars secret archives. Then came to light
how the world war began and who helped ag-
gravate the imperialist contra dctions to violent
struggles. And whatever page of these acts you
opened, light was thrown from all sides in let
tiers SO red as the blood they spilled and there
was the name of Raymond Poincare.
He has already entered history as "Poincare
War; as the French workers nicknamed him.
This representative of French finance-capital,
whom history branded forever with the Gains,
and with the brand of the peoples slaughtered
in 1914-1918 was for years busy arranging new
World Wars.
The Moscow trial of the wreckers' organiza-
don-and therein lies its decisive Importance
revealed the conscious endeavors of the civil and
military ruling class of France, who made their
battle cry War Against the Soviet Union!"
I'VE had no influence, but were the mere ex-
ecutive organs of the French general staff" said
Professor Charnovsky, one of the defendants on
cross examination on Nov 90.
And the surly and buntly anti Bolshevik
Daily Herald" comments on the last actions of
French imperialism as follows:
Official France prepares to break off rela-
tons with the Soviet Union, and possibly some
thing worse"
Surely, the coming anti-Soviet war will be born
in Paris, and its soul is Poincare. During the
terrible four years of the world war he caused
the shooting of millions of men, More than
that he made uncounted women widows, and
children orphans, and robbed parents of their
children.
Still more He more than anybody put the
Versailles treaty yoke on the German workers.
Not enough this. He commanded the Ruhr inva-
sion in 1928. He spilled the blood of imprisoned
hundreds of German and French workers.
Still more. He now pulls the wires for war &C
ton against the U. S. S. R. This old man is
bloodthirsty tiger and those around his are of
the same type.
Every thought, every action of these ministers
and generals is crime-a crime against the
proletarat of Europe who must be destroyed by
the new imperialist massacre.
Notice the name of Colonel Richard chief of
the French secret service, who when the French
occupation army invaded Germany, maintained
intimate and material relations with the Bava-
rian fascsts (Fuchs, Machhause), and who now
commands the vicious scoundres who misuse
diplomatic protection in the French embassy

The signature drive must be used means
of modifying the unemployed for struggle. Chi
cogo District must gather hundreds of thou
sands of signatures endorsing our Workers IN
employment Insurance Bill. But 1t must be
stressed to the unemployed that only mass ac-
ton, mass struggle, will win for the unemployed
immediate relief.
The Unemployed Councils must be built on
permanent stable basis The councils must con-
duct day to day activity in front of agencies,
factories, the bread-lines, flop houses vend
especially in the neighborhoods in the struggle
against evictions, against shutting off of gas,
electricity, etc.
The Unemployed Councils and II. U. u L. in
Chicago and other cities must conduct work in
side of the A. f. of l.. locals, and win the mem
bership for the program of demands of the IN
employed Councils. The membership of the A.
F. of L. is thoroughly disguised with the do
nothing policy of the fascist officials Of the A.
F. of l.. This is especially true in the building
trades unions, where our work must be increased
tenfold.
The Unemployed Councils and the r. u q. l..
be the Unemployed Councils and r. u. U. L.
must intensity its activity amongst the Negro
masses in view of the acute suffering (even
sharper and keener than amongst the white
workers. and struggle against the special dis
elimination practiced against the Negro masses
Finally, the Unemployed Councils must be-
come real organs of struggle in leading the I'M
employed workers in daily combats for bread
and jobs. Unemployed workers must be taught
how they help themselves through mass
action to food, clothing and shelter!
The unemployed workers are on the march
The heavy tread of millions of workers feet can
already be heard, growing and increasing in VOL
ume. At the head Of this army Of jobless must
be the Unemployed Councils and T. U. U. L.
giving leadership and direction--and primarily,
organizing this army into q mighty, disciplined,
force capable Of winning unemployment relief,
bread, and the right to live!
