of what war will bring, the conditions that Will
ensue and the historic developments that will
mark the transformation Of the capitalist war

Ianakers Nov. 21.-EditOr.
WE have seen the hollowness OF this castle
w building; we have shown that modern capi-
talism cannot fight without mass armies. The
greater and completer the mobilization of the
entire population of the country for war service,
the greater are the chances of success, and in
cidentaly, the greater is the menace to the SUI
premacy and very existence of capitalism.
Do what it will, capitalism cannot avoid the
development and maturing process of these dia-
lectical contradictions.
The same contradictions the same seeds of its
own destruction so manifest in capitalist society
today, are to be seen in the army, only in more
concentrated form The fact that the existence
of such contradictions has been disclosed spells
the beginning of the end of bourgeois supre-
macy the breakup of its last and most impor-
tant line of defense
All these questions were raised and thorough
" dealt with by Lenin during the last war. They
are organically related to the fundamental pol
ICY the aims and objects of the revolutionary
vanguard during imperialist war, namely, to help
to bring about the defeat of ones own govern
ment, utilizing each and every setback to pave
the way to turn an imperialist war into civil
war.
Lenin's analysis and deductions not only hold
true as regards future warfare, but their signi-
ficance has been increased hundredfold by the
experience of the postwar period and present.
day preparations.
War Intensifies Capitalist Contradictions
First of all, Lenin emphasized time and again
that in wartime all capitalist contradictions were
bound to become intensified to the extreme.
WAR is no accident, no sin as claimed by
Christian clergymen, but an inevitable develop
ment of capitalism and just as legitimate in
capitalist life as peace itself. The wars of our
time are national wars 1t does not follow, how
ever, from this truth that we must drift with
the national tendency of chauvnisrn. We must
realize that in wartime and at the the class
contradictions, that are rending the peoples con-
tinue to exist and will continue to manifest
themselves with the added emphasis given them
by the war"
Today, this position would seem to be self
evident But the facts show Enthusiastically that

This is still more amusing because the writer
of the article accuses the Communist Press OF
lying! This article in the News" is the first
of a series of lies by some guy called "Linipus,"
and he "limps" all right.
What fuss he makes OF the story given him
by the Lovestone renegades about what the Rote
Fal1ne OF Berlin published about a defnonstra-
ton in New York last year. 1.-THE entire story Is

they dare talk about capitalist lies, forsooth
Alas for the frailty of Communist journalists!
AS we recall, the Rote Fahne made the mis-
take of reprinting that story from capitalist
paper published in Germany that has as little
truth and the same lying sensations in it as
the N. Y. Daily News So bear up Limpus,
it was capitalist lie" after all
Another example Of capitalist lie appears on
page 2 Of the self-same issue Of the News"
where, In relating a story about the "anti-fas-
cist" meeting held Sunday at Irving Plaza hall
in New York, 1t tells about resolution and thet,
goes on to this preposterous statement:
Then Communist arose suddenly and
shouted: Viva Mussolini!'"

thing you find in the N. Y. Daily News.

WHITE CUARDISTS PLOT MURDER

BERLIN, Oct. 3o-Today's "Rote Fahne"
plans OF the "All-Russia Military Union led by
the notorious Czarist General Miller. This or
garlization maintains close connections with the
French general staff. The fact that the con-
tr1butions from capitalist financial and indus-
trial sources have dropped considerably Of late
has caused this organization to look around for
means OF arousing capitalist interest in it once
again, writes the "Rote Fahne." Generals Sha-
kuloc and Turkul proposed that Vicious Com
munist leaders should be assas3in2ted both in the
Soviet Union and in other countries. The ques-
ton was preached with the French general staff
which, however, was unwilling to agree to such
terrorism In France or In countries under French
influence, and suggested that they should be con-
fined to Germany Italy, Turkey, etc.. In order
that the responsibility for the crimes should be
placed on other shoulders and the Franoo-soviet
negotiations not endangered.
The "Rote Fafne" then describes the prepara-
tons Of the white guardists In Prague under the
leadership Of Major General Horshewsld. Former
White officers are being trained In special courses
for their tasks. The terrorists are supplied with
bombs and reyolvers. When everything was pre-
pared for attempts the nvc3 OF prominent

average duration, indicating the ferment which
is in progress.
The japanese government admits that on &C.
tober l. 1880 there we're 1927 unemployed
workers in Japan. This out of total OF only
,4,774,047 workers. AS compared with the census
taken years previously the number of unem-
ployed ha sincreased over At per cent. To the
demand for unemployed relief, the Japanese
government has answered the way the Hoover
government did. The Japanese newspaper Nichi
Nichi reports that loan of over twenty mil
lion dollars would. be floated for the relief of
the Jobless All this money will go for road
building or substituting shipping concerns The
building OF roads which were necessary, unen1-
ployment or no unemployment, are passed off
as relief
The wages Of the Japanese workers have al
ways been very low, but since the crisis started
they have been forced all the way down. Wo-
men who work as silk reelers are paid 40 cents
a day, cotton spinners 81 cents. The average
for the whole textile industry is sixty-one cents
day. And the discrimination between men and
women can be clearly seen by the fact that male
hosiery knitters get sl.1o day, while women do
ing the same work only get o6S cents Those
who work In the chemical industry get 0.55 cents
day for this dangerous work. This wage re-
presents drop of sixteen points since 1928
The average daily wage IN L. industries tnclud-
ing such skilled trades as Building, printing and
metal workers is about OBS cents.

Fascinating Ladies

We learn from the Boston American" that the
citys 400 sail a-flutter because, on the morning
of Thursday, Nov. 10, no less a parsonage than
Baroness Wrangel, wife Of the murder of thous-
ands of Russian workers and peasants, Gen Peter
Wrangel, will be speaker and guest of honor"
in the ballroom Of the Junior League, 20" MARI
borough street.
Further, we are told-"She will tell some of her
amazing experiences in the war and revolution"
and to the aim of helping finance this fascinat-
ing lady's pet hobby" which is-"the Generals
ex-soldiers,' who are supposed to be now in
stalled in Memorial Sanitarium in Jugo- Slavia"
They call it a sanitarium," but the fact is that
these cut-throats are kept fat and in training
in a military camp, as the skeleton force OF a
White Guard Army to be used to invade the So
Wet Union
And another fact is that Mrs. LOOMS, the rich
sister of Secretary of State Simpson, who has
admitted this Baroness into America to raisa
funds among the wealthy American for war on
the Soviet Union, is the campaign manager of
the Baroness and herself heavy supporter of
these murderers of the Russian workers
Such fascinating ladies'!

The Objective Method

One of the well known commandments of Com
rade Lenin to his comrades was-"Think object
lively" or words to that effect And we were
again reminded of this in reading the second
article on Calvertons Cultural Compulsives" by
Comrade A. Landy in the November issue of
'"The Communist" the theoretical organ of our
Party.
We have heard that Calverton was bit dis
turbed by Landy's brilliant polemic against him.
because he was going to make visit to the
Soviet Union and has somehow impressed few
OF the intellectuals there as MARKHAM" and this
exposure might spoil his welcome. Certainly to
hear that he is invited by the japanese Govern
ment to lecture in the Japanese universities "as
a MARKHAM" in order to fight Marxism, ought to
wake up anyone who has illusions about Calver-
ton.
But about the objective method We hate to
quote from Landy's article, because you should
read it ALL and also of course the other articles
in the Communist But we want to quote some
thing to illustrate the necessity for workers es-
pecially Communists, studying theory, necessity
we have been harping on until some comrades
may think we over-stress it. Landy says, in part.
THE subjective interests Of the workers as
a CLASS cannot be served unless the working
class is objective in its Interpretation and is
guided by objective conditions in its class pc
litics No one is born with an elective
scientific outlook. 1t takes difficult process
of learning to become objective thinker. A
backward worker may b, filled with the worst
superstitions, prejudices and illusions. The
fact that he Is worker does not In itself safe
guard him against these things"
We wish that Landy had left out that word
backward because he goes on to give the des-
cripton of backward worker and thus enain-
ates all conjecture that he implies in the words
may be-"
In real life we know that various degrees of
superstition, prejudice and illusion" cling to the
worker as he advances from "backwardness' to
an acceptance, more OR less understanding, of the
revolutionary viewpoint. Ordinarily much of the
old ideas still cling to even the best militant
workers when they become class conscious enough
to join our Party.
But as Landy adds, 1t is only as the worker
acquires the scientific achievements of the re-
volutionary working class movement, that he is
able to be objective in the study of society
In short, those comrades of the Party and
League are deeply wrong when they deprive the
worker who joins our movement of chance to
study theory, and who load them with a noun
tain of practical work" under the excuse that
by attending intermnable meetings, distributing
leaflets, selling papers and canvassing, etc., the
new member will learn Communist theory by
divine relations or something.
OF course this is not all that is in Landy's ar
ticle, which is real contribution to contemporary
Marxism- Leninism. But this little part gives us
proof of what we have been trying to make clear
to very muddled heads the need of theoretical
study.

THE crisis in Japan is still deepening and the
oppression of labor is becoming more acute
with layoffs and wage cuts prevailing. Especi-
ally has this been true since the japanese oc-
cupation of Msnchuria. The industries produc-
ing military supplies are straining every pro-
ductive faculty, with long working hours, speed
up, hard work and wage cuts, but with no in
crease in the number of laborers.
Labor is in a state of ferment throughout
the country. There many strikes. includ-
ing number of large ones and the number
of strikes increases the end of the year ap-
proaches. This indicates that the Japanese
masses are not supporting the war moves of
the imperialists.

YOUTH ACTION FOR The NATIONAL
HUNGER MARCH

THE Youth Committees OF the Unemployed
Councils are taking steps to organize mass pub
lie trials for the unemployed youth on Thanks
giving Day, Nov 26. These public trials will ex-
pose the city administration and politicians who
don't give damn whether the unemployed youth
and the children of unemployed starve, have
nothing to wear or place to sleep in These
trials will be a mobilization of the youth against
the discrimination practiced against the unem
poyed youth, who can't get jobs or even mis-
cradle charity. The trials will be on day when
the bosses will use a lot OF demagogy in trying
to fool the workers, especially the youth and
kids.
/. Public trials have been arranged In the follow
ing cities as reported so far: Chicago, Buffalo,
New York, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Bridgeport,
Duluth, Superior and Charlotte.
There is still time to arrange these trials In
other cities. The unemployed branches, youth
groups, block committees, should prepare these
public trials and mobilize the youth for them.
g. Detroit just held youth conference, at
which there were sixty delegates. For the first
time IA new clubs were reached, amongst which
were Negro church clubs, boy scout troop repre-
sentatives, etc.
g. Experience In some districts prove the need
for organizing youth groups in block commit
tees. They should be organized in all cities.
These are composed OF the youth members In
the block, who have special meetings, arrange
for socials, sports and take up youth demands
for the unemployed YOUTH organize the struggle
around individual youth cases, etc.
A. Children's clubs attached to the block COM
nlittees can be organized for the free food fight
in the school, for free meals and clothes for the
children of unemployed.
5. The unemployed youth must be won In the
struggle for immediate relief. For the hunger
march there should be adequate youth repre-
serftation Tho youth must be drawn into the
struggle and into the organization OF the unern-,
ployed workers, into tho branches and in the

aries. The YIN CA, the Y.W.C.A, the Boy

dollars of this money to train good citizens
that is to teach workers Jim CroWism, Miitar-

into uplift societies OF one sort or another-set-
Element houses, big brothers, unmarried mothers,
chldrens societies, etc. Children are taken from
homes of workers under the charge that parents
are unfit but they are never taken from rich
parents regardless how unworthy the parents
may be- Workers do not need and do not want
the uplift activities of the rich. We can take
care of our own families and bring them up
properly if we get decent living conditions.
Workers, refuse to give to the Community
Fund, give to the international Workers Relief,

giles for immediate relief and social insurance.

starving school children. 1t is preparing to feed
