True (?) Story
BY JORGE

Capital has at last gotten itself definitely
married to wage-earning America" is the first
line of a whole page advertisement published
in the N. Y. Times of the TRUE Story" maya
zine than which no more rubbish can be col
lected under the guise of literature.
The advertisement, entitled mo Companion
ate Marriage" goes on in ludicrous language:
"It is no longer a trial marriage. That period
is past. Because a child named Prosperity has
already been born"
YEAH and it seems to have persisted in It's
infancy! But the True Story lunatic proceeds:
Now let us see how far the metaphor can
go. First. we know that it was capital that
proposed and labor that accepted. We knoW
this definitely because labor was very shy dWs
ing the courship. A rather excited and f1uR~
tered girl was being wooed by a man in top-hat."
To picture Matte VOL and the hard-faced
crooks of the A. F. of L. as shy and flustered
girls is brother, passing beyond bounds. 1t is
true that the workers in the A. F. Of L. were
shy-and nave learned since that they had reason
to be shy. The man in top-hat had no honor
able intentions" But the Iunatic gables on:
Next we know that the marriage was happy
one. There have been no quarrels Of any i'm
portance since it occurred. No major strikes nor
lockouts. And that is tremendously important"
Yeah! 1t is important in more ways than onel
The marriage happy one for the whole
tribe of capitalists and their pals, the Greens,
Doaks Wolls, and so on. But you just ask the
boys who ring the time-clocks under the B. Apd
o. speed-up plan! But there's more:
I'VE also know that it offered happy sseu-
ton to the economic problems of both. Capital
has been interested in the marriage has MAIN
tanned the home, and has been deeply concerned
when its helpmate was under the weather"
Oh, has it'll 1t was interested" in seeing IlMs
the recent bride" was backjacked, tear-gasaed,
jailed and kicked in the ribs before being evifted
from the 'home" for not paying the rent. And
it is our opinion that:
The "helpmate" has been helping too much,
and is beginning to bust the dishes over the head
of the man in the top-hat who lured the inno-
cent girl into class collaboration, went through
a mock marriage with her, got her in an en-
barrassing condition and now refuses to support
her. May the dishes she busts on his head be
good heavy ones, and may she soon get o. of

eating the Soviet question. Moreover, he has al
ready spoken several times in this commission.
Father Walsh gave fresh testimony after his
visit to Europe, where he personally studied the
wiles of the BoIsheviks
And in reality his visit gave devastating results
The commission was astounded at the evidence
, of the new witness.
All America is gasping under the terrific eco
. ronlic financial and industrial crisis. What are
the causes of this catastrophe? The holy man
had discovered the cause and explained it to the
nmssion.
DO you want to know where the crisis came
from? With Gods help have discovered this
secret. can give you an exact and unerring
reply"
All was quiet in the commission The excited
ticking of the gold watch in Mr.. Fish's pocket
could be heard. The representative of the holy
order of Jesuits was outwardly calm, but obviously
was excited himself.
THE crisis was organized by no other than the
Comintern and here"-Father Edmund Walsh
thrust his hands into his pocket "and here are
the documental proofs"
The priest shook little book over the heads
of the excited listeners,
Here is the proof. The report of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Comintern, published II
months before the Wall Street crash in October
In this report it gives you all the details how
crisis will develop in America what it will lead to-
and what will be its effects. The Bolsheviks
knew in advance that we should have Stock
Exchange crash. That proves that they prepared
it themselves. The business deprc--'on in the
United States is the work of Communist hands"
At last the Bolsheviks have been caught red
har"~'
Old and stern in his monkish garb George De-
viatldn stood before the commission crushing all
around him by the weight of his infallible logic
What can we say to confute Father Walsh?
Nothing. We can only add a few words to con-
firm his statement.
When the outlook for American business de-
veopment was being discussed in the Comintern,
not everyone agreed with the estimate which ap-
pears in the official resolution. There were such
gentlemen as Lovestone and Pepper who refused
to believe in the coming crisis in America To-
gether with President Hoover they prophesed
prosperity" in the United States But the blood
thirsty Comintern drove out Mr.. Lovestone and
Mr.. Pepper from its ranks as right oprortunists
AS they disbeeved in the coming crisis it gave
them the right to await American prosperity in
the same camp as President Hoover.
| DO we need any further proof that it was the
| Comintern which undermined the business of
the USA with its own hands and brought about
| the catastrophe on the New York Stock Exchange
| Father Walsh, oh, Reverend Father Edmund of
the Jesuit Order! Please inform us if you know
of the fate of George Deviatkin I beg of you not
| to be shy, but tell the whole truth Even from
| here, far away, a"-oss the ocean, know that
| quarrelsome authoritative voice. I feel the force
| of that iron 'ogic see the dew drop at the end

Cannibalism

From Lawrence, Mass, we get little note, the
gst of which follows:
LET me tell you of couple of things that
happened up here in this textile town. One OF
these has to do with the old trouble comrade
encounters while organizing for union. You
know I guess You work like hell to get some
workers into one of the unions Of the Trade
Union Unity League. And the minute you have
something established little office fixed up,
the mimeograph grinding out leaflets, some MIL
Committees built-presto! Lo and behold, every
other working class organization for miles around
falls on you and the green workers in the union
like a ton of bricks. It's the LID. the WIIE.,
the FISH, the Councils for Protection of Fcs-
eign Born ETC.. etc. OF course, the C.P.U.S.A.
and the ..CL.US.A. are also present. The CT
is not so hard for the workers to see They'b
pretty clear about union and political party

The comrades protest has validity. AS AL
other comrade says these organizations are ia
much exciting by doing one another's washint

UNI The reason for our organizational weakness"
was given in the CT Resolution of October 1880:
1.-THE principal weakness of the Party is to be
found in the fact that the Party was and re-

has not understood how to mobilize the masses
for struggle for their immediate demands and
especially for their economic demands"
In order to build the Party into the real van

and organizer, we must still more improve the
organzational structure, discipline, forms OF ac-
tivity and new methods of work. For this reason
It is necessary that the experiences OF the Dis

The trial has shown the working class Of all
countries how the tactics of class against class
must be employed in world politics. The prep
aration of intervention and Of counter-revolu-
tianarv class war have proceeded according to
the following tactics: In the Soviet Union Poin-
care and his colleagues formed the united front
of the remnants of the urban and rural bour-
geoisie from Paltchinsky to Ranlzin, including
Kontratiew Gromann and Suchanov, with the
help of the Torgprom, the Miljukovs, Kerenskys
and Dams. In the Western Border States from
Finland via Poland and Rumania, the whole
forces of the bourgeoisie have been set in motion
in order to bring about the victory of fascisn.
In the countries behind the Border States,
French influence placed itself behind every fas-
esst formation in order to secure the unhndered
transport of intervention troops. The attempt
a. a Franco German approchement on fas-
cist basis is classical proof of this.
The Papal crusade aimed at stirring up the
petty bourgeois clerical masses to take their place
in the armed class front. The anti-Soviet agrar-
ian bloc again. aimed at drawing the rich and
middle peasantry into this class front. For the
bourgeoisie and the petty bourgeoisie of the OPP
pressed nations the bait was Brands slogan OF

its infamous Manifesto to the Workers of Rus
sia." which Under the slogan Of Saving the
Revolution" called upon the workers of the So
Wet Union to iquidate the proletarian dictator
ship and clear the path for capitalist restoration
Miljukov did not at all exaggerate when he
assured the Kondratjev Ministerial candidate
Yurovsky that the leaders of the French social
lists would support the war Of intervention. The
French socialists have no need to cite the the
oretical" authority of Kautsky to justify their
support of inperialist intervention. Their own
past their support of the notorious Paul Boncour
law which renders the whole nation liable for
military service give them sufficient justifi-
cation when they wish to enroll the working
class in that international class front of the
bourgeoisie which is being organized by Poincare
against the international proetariat and its faith
erland, the Soviet Union.
The social democracy of the other countries

missioner o. H. Caldwell.
For curved space means that every
radio program will. years hence. return
to the earth, after having made the cir
cult of the universe. Such radio waves,
even though weakened by their long
journey, should return intact, although
soprano voices will probably be found
an octave or so lower by reason of the
same lowering of frequency which
makes far-distant nebulae reddish in
color.
THE only discouraging thing about
these 'Eihstein encores' of Amos n
Andy, the Eskimos, ETC., is the long
wait that will be necessary. Sir James
Jeans, the distinguished British as
tronomer, computes that 100000 million
years is the time required for electro
magnetic waves, like radio waves or
light waves, to make the round-trip to
the ends of space and to return to their
starting point"
