l. INTRODUCTION.

THE Central Committee Of our Party, eonsld-
] ering the sharpening offensive Of the capl-
taIists SattacKs upon the employed and u1em-
ployed. growing political reaction and war dam
ger). and the rising resistance OF the workers.
and analyzing the results Of the unemployed
campaign and the National Hunger March to
washington on December 18th, decided to
strengthen and intensity the campaign against
unemployment. to mobilize and organize wide
masses of unemployed and employed workers
for the fight for unemployment insurance at
full wages and immediate relief, to link up the
campaign with the employed workers IN the
shops and factories in the struggle against
wage cuts, speed-up, lay-offs. part-time work,
which has been the weakest phase OF our I'M
employed and trade union work in general
The Central Committee has to connect all
these campaigns more firmly with the campaign
against the impsnalist war on the Chinese
masses and the danger of war on the Soviet
Union as the main road in the mobilization OF
the working class in the struggle against hte
capitalist offensive
The Central Committee has therefore decided
to carry on a recruiting campaign to bring into
the PARTY thousands of new members from the
bic factories mines and mills, active workers
among the unemployed and active workers IN
the unions The recent events have definitely
proven the increased rehabilitation of the
masses It is now our task to crystalline this
rehabilitation into political consciousness and
take in the best elements into our Party
This recruiting campaign will on the one hand
hap more theoretically and successfully to carry
through the campaigns of the Party and on the
other hand by bringing in new fresh blood from
the mines mills and factories, will intensity
these campaigns.

Party Recruiting Drive
January IL March IS, 1882
DIRECTTyEs ON THE RECRUITING DRIVE

In the course of this campaign special atten-
ton must be given to the building OF the revo-
lutionary unions, to lntensifying the struggle in
the A. F. L. and aid In building revolutionary
oppoSitions, and the actlv1Zation Of the Party
membership in the building Of unemployed COM
mittees and councils.
The recruiting campaign must particularly re-
volve around the winning of new members in
the areas where strike struggles took place
pittsburgh, Ohio Lawrence Paterson, Allen
town. Tampa, West Virginia. and in sections in
the industries in which strikes are being pre-
pared or maturing (Kentucky, Anthracite) and
where possibilities for strike struggles are de-
Veloping, concentrating on basic industries and
most important factories. The recruiting drive
must serve to intensity the development of strike
struggles. The line Of the 18th Plenum Of the
Central Committee must govern the recruiting
campaign. The Plenum stated
'"The building of the Party must become an
integral part of the preparation and leadership
of mass struggles. The realization of the slogan
If b. the Party in mass struggles, means par
ticularly strengthening the mass organizations
Of the Party in the heavy industries and big
factories and in the districts in which these
industries are located"
This .npaigr' must not be detached from the
current campaigns CT the Party, but we must
cash in organizationally on the results OF the
1900
actions carried through by the Party for the
Strengthening of the campaigns under way, and
to establish recruiting as a systematic daily
work of our Party. ar
The Central Committee declares that through
the recruiting of the most active revolutionary
workers from the shops and trade unions and
from among the unemployed, we will advance
the Bolshevization process Of our Party, by the
establishment Of closer bonds between the Party
and the masses of workers In the shops, and
get new fresh forces for the development OF
new leading cadres for the mass struggles
In our everyday activities we must carry on
an intensive campaign to expose the role of the
Socialist Party and other social fascist groups
the role OF the labor bureaucracy in the A. F. L,
on the basis of everyday experiences and make
special efforts to draw in honest workers still
remaining in the ranks of the Socialist Party
into the party of the working class, the Com
munist Party.

Trick in All Trades

One of the things giving the capitalist class
headache these days is the slowing up il not
the complete stalling, of the process that Karl
Marx dished out rather briefly in the letters
'M-C-M"
No, Algernon. that isn't radio station. It is
the business end of capitalism, where the bosses
figure on turning Money! into Commodities"
and extracting (by the addition of the workers
unpaid labor power during the making OF .c)
a bigger sum Of Money" at the end Of the
process.
AS we said at the beginning, this transaction
is hard shedding these days for the capitalists.
And in effect the story we are about to tell is
small sample of what the whole capitalist class
Is trying to put over. Only in this case the
capitalist" happened to be a preacher by the
name of Rev. Nathan Worthy, who, according
to an international News Service dispatch Of
Dec II, from Moultrie, Georgia, showed up at a
church there and was invited to preach"
The Rev. Worthy had evidently underwent
some expense to get there and produce a SER
mon which he delivered, sermon which in our
example will be represented by the &c" OF Marks
"M-C-M." TIL first ''M" representing roughly
81, apparently what Money" he had invested
in the production Of the specified religious dope
delivered.
But right there the process "M-C-M' broke
down. The dispatch tells Of the breakdown, and
what the Rev. Worthy did to stimulate the pro-
cess, in the following words:
He (the preacher) said he needed g. and
passed the collection plate after delivering
sermon. When the plate came back empty the
Rev. Worthy whipped out big pistol from under
the tails Of his 'claw-hammer' coat and waved
it at the congregation.
Look here, children he said. When say
I need seven dollars. mean need seven dol
lars. Not one Of you brothers or sisters Is leav-
ing this church until get that seven dollars
The collection plate went the rounds again
and returned with $11.o5. The Rev. Nathan
Worthy pocketed his pistol and the money-and

(ConcluSion)

(ConcluSion)
Fourth question: Who bears the cost of the
social policy?
Answer: With us all workers come under the
social insurance the contributions to which are
paid entirely by the undertakings in which they
are employed. The worker himself does not pay
anything. The contributions to social insurance
are not deducted from the workers wages, but
they are paid by the employers as an addition
to the wages. The total cost of State social in
surance for the working class amounts this year
to nearly 1000 million roubles In the year 1880
it amounted to 400 million roubles. 1t Is in
creasing from year to year. Under this insur-
ance the worker receives full pay in case of ILL
ness! and pension in case of incapacity. The
benefit paid to women before and after con-
finement is very generous. In addition to this
social insurance we have the State insurance OF
perna nent invalids aged people, and people who
are chemically incapacitated for work They
receive pensions at the cost of the State.
Comrade Grinko then gave detailed figures
REGARDING the number of childrens homes homes
- wcif3 and strays and similar institutions.
This social welfare provision by the State is now
being extended to the village poor. We have
alr7ady done GOOD deal in this sphere, never
theless we consider what we have done to be
SCll ana are 1uCTedSlHS OuI eApellul-
ture in this sphere from year to year.
Fifth Question: Why does the Soviet Govern
trent place orders with the capitalist countries?
Answer: We purchase from abroad those ma
chimes which we are not yet able to produce our
selves We say quite openly to the working class
OF the whole world, that we very often export
those things which we could consume ourselves
that we limit our requirements, but the purpose
OF all this is to receive from abroad as quickly
as possible the things we need for socialist con-
stfuction We are building up our Soviet Union
not as a national State, but a stronghold
which shall not only withstand the attacks Of
the capitalist world but shall by its existence
and it's increasing strength constitute counter
pole to the capitalist world. Today even our
enemies in the bourgeois camp have to recog-
nize-in fact the Vienna social democrat Otto
Bauer was compelled to admit in an article pub
ljshed in September, that our national economy
is developing rapidly and that we have no I'M
employment These facts serve to strengthen

Lone Rooster Last
Of the Heath Breed

With failure marking the close
of q two-year search to find a
hen of the famous Heath hen
breed of New England, this spe-
cies of native fowl will become
completely extinct with the death
of the lone aged rooster still
alive at Martha's Vineyard, &C
cording to a report of the Bio,
logical Survey.
This fowl, which was one of
the principal sources Of food for
the early New England settlers,
was extinct on the mainland in
1875 but flocks still abounded on
the isolated islands Of the coast.
Large sums of money have been
spent since the discovery two
years ago, that the one rooster
was the only survivor of the
breed.

BATTLES
DEPORTATION

The District Supreme Court
has been asked by Ioannis Ka-
loudis, a Greek immigrant, Of
Aliquippa, Pa. to restrain Secre-
tary of Labor William N. Doak
from deporting him as an alien
illegally in this country.
Kaloudis says he was arrested
on a warrant charging that he
entered this country as seaman
on August l, 1926, and has re-
mained longer in this county
than permitted under the immi-
grafton act. He furnished $1,000
bail at the time of his arrest, he
says. in the form of a Liberty
bond in that amount.
The Labor Department refused
to confront him with the wit
nesses against him, Kaloudis says,
thereby prejudicing his rights.
and although he says he told the
investigators that he entered this
country in 1915 on a certain
steamer, he is unable to prove it
to the satisfaction Of the authori'
ties. Their investigation, how
ever, did confirm his statement
as to the names of two persons
who came with him on the same
steamer.
He is represented by Attorney
Ward BonSall.
