Roosevelt shows still more clearly the true
character OF this social demagogy in his "in-

what is the state?" and answers hypocritic-
ally: ut is the duly constituted representative

created by them for mutual protection and
well being. The state, the government is but
the machinery thru which such protection is
achieved. -. The duty of the state towards its
citizens is the duty of the slave towards the
master"
Mr.. Roosevelt realizes that the toiling masses
Of the state of New York as thruout the coun-
try, have learned by their own bitter experience
as to what the state really is and whom it serves
and protects. They have learned this on the
picket line when in the fight Of the New York
Food Workers, Steve Kstovis was shot dead; in
the struggles of the miners and textile workers;
the lynchings of white and Negro workers by
official and unofficial" government agents; all
this has given practical lesson to these masses
as to what is the state that Roosevelt is try
ing to explain, in the interests of the bosses.
All these acts have exposed the boss govern
ment in its true light. and have greatly dis
credited it in the eyes of the workers 1t is
therefore the job Of Mr.. Franklin D. Roosevelt
to re3tore the lost prestige of his state and city
cccsacls, of the federal cossacks, and therefore
his thoughtful utterances' of the purpose of

But the experiences of the masses themselves

taught the workers a lesson The masses have

This is the height of social demagogy! Roos-
evelt will come out to the workers and say:
Here, 1 have given you just what you want;
taxed the rich to help the needy All this I
did because recognize the obligations of the
government to the needy men, women and chill
dren, its citizens" This is how Roosevelt will
try to bluff. And upon this basis no doubt, he
will ask the workers and farmers to give him
leir votes in the next presidential elections, to
become president of the United States.
But in reality what does all this mean? VIII

Mr. Roosevelt in any way hinder his masters
when he forces" them ito pay" to this fund"
that is supposed to relieve" the sufferings of
the unemployed? Of course mott Imagine a fell
low that gets $4,000 income annually will have
to pay the magnificent" sum of $425 yearly!
This is certainly going to make him poor, poor
fellow! guy that has yearly income OF
100000 will have to pay S1128 annually-this
is sure going to be hard" on the poor fish! Well
why then, not hndering his master not hepinc
the unemployed should not Mr.. Roosevelt max
this political investment in claiming that he d
something for the workers, so that he can &c

be bitterly fought and exposed before it tax
any hold among the masses.
That the whole plan is a great big bluff i
tended to fool the masses, should by now
clear to every one. That the concessions gain
by this plan is merely a gesture in SO far
Mr.. Roosevelt is concerned, for his own POI

to the extent that the master class was force

masses, under the leadership of the revolution

mall meager concessions could never have bee
won if not for the militant fight that the ur

working class movement.
The lesson of this gesture is that oniy by
further. more invigorated militant sharp
struggle will be able to wrcst real concessions

Church and State
By JORGE

The Socialist" party of Spain has been the
dominant part of the government. Now see what
happens! According to the N Y. Times of Sep
'ember 3:
"The State will give the Church the right Of
demanding its arbitrary tax . The amount
of the Church tax has not yet been fixed II
appears that the State put its tax-coIIectinR
organization at the disposal of the Church in
order to assure the Church a fixed incomes

Church has been one of the vilest of exploit.
ers of the workers and robbers of the peasantry
of Spain, so much so that the masses spontane-
ously attacked and destroyed numerous church.
es when it became clear to them that the
Church was not only exploiter and robber but
also political force supporting the monarchy
against the republic in which the masses still
have illusons-then you will see how renegade
the socialists" in the government are-even to
their capitalist republic, not to mention any
really socialist principles.
In case any worker Is not convinced that the
Catholic Church in Spain is the exploiter and
robber we call it, let us quote for the N. Y.
Times of August 21
'The first solid blow in the battle between
Church and State was struck today when the
Spanish government issued decree prohibit.
ing the sale, transfer mortgage of properties
belonging to the Church or religious orders or
institutions thereby tying up millions of pese-
tas in cash lying in banks all over Spain and
making it impossible to dispose of the shares
in subways, railroads and utilities which are
held by these institutions"
So! Besides being the biggest landlord that
robS the peasants, the Church not only has mil
lions in cash while millions of the poor go
ragged and hungryD but also the Church holds
big blocks of shares in "subways, railroads and
utilities!
incidentally, you see that between August 81
and Sept l, the solid blow" supposed struck
by the government dominated by the socialists"
has turned out to be an agreement with the
Church that the government will use its tax
collecting and that means its police power
to help the Church rob the masses!
When you hear that the Spanish workers are
DESERVING the Socialists" going over to the
Communists and are fighting the Socialist
capitalist republic, remember these reasons for 1t.

nucleus must definitely set forth with the policy
of building united front grievance committees
of working out the workers economic demands,
and of developing the trade union organization
(shop branches, etc. and struggle in support of
these demands.
This question must not be mechanically put
as if first we must build the Party nuclei and
then the revolutionary union Both must go
ahead simultaneously. In certain cases of sud-
den strike movements, especially in view Of the
Party's weak base in the factories, the union
must sometimes set up its beginnings of organ
izaGion before the Party does, in the miners
strike. But we must not make the serious error
OF relying upon this. The Party must at once

BY WILLIAM z. FOSTER

In the very coH.er OF the resent &C Plenum
stood the question OF a greatly sharpencd Party
orientation to the factories. Conversely this
expressed itself by the great stress laid upon the
building of shop nuclei, the development OF the
Party activities generally With the shop as the
base and especially the extension and intensifi-
cation of trade union organization and struggles
in the shop.
This Great emphasis on shop activity amount
ing to a real turn in the work Of the Party, is
indeed timely 1t is part of the general devel-
opment of the Party from its previous agita-
tional stage to one Of mass struggle 1t is en-
tirely in line with the central emphasis which
our Plenum mcnt1s ago placed upon the ques-
ton of partial demands of the workers which is
the very starting point of all real shop work and
of mass struggle generally in the United States.
For years the Conintern has been urging
upon us the fundamental necessity of building
the Party upon the shop nucleus basis and Of
centering all its main activities around the
Shops the Profintern has followed a similar
course regarding our trade union work; and
from Plsnum to Plenum and Convention to Con-
vention of our Party, we have adopted resou-
tons to this general effect. But very little has
been done, to put all these good directions and
resolutions into effect. In fact there are mani
fest tendencies to accept the street nucleus as
our basic organization form, and to think of
shop organization and activities only in terms
OF trade unionlSm; that is, of ShcN committees,
grievance committees shop branch etc, and
their immediate fight for partial, &c nonlic de-
mands, instead of in terms which are based on
the Party organzationally (shop nuclei and its
whole revolutionary program
The famous reorganization Of the Party of
several years ego did no more than to produce
lot OF talk about the shop nucleus and to shift
our Party from a language to street Cor resi-
Dental DISTRICT nucleus basis. When our recent
Plenum went into session we had (aside from
the new mine nuclei not more than 10 per cent
OF the Party membership organized in shop nu-
clei and these nuclei were quite inert and
showed tendency to decline.
