Church News
The Church school was slimly at
tended on Sunday morning. Fifty
four teachers and scholars being
present The lesson of the day en-
titled "a Good Samaritan" should
need no comments from the writer.
The story is told in such way and
manner that those who are seeking
the truth can readily understand.
A Pharisee, a lawyer, asked OF
Jesus what shall l do to inherit
eternal life?" Was the lawyer sim
cere in asking of the Master this
question? or was he rather trying to
entrap the Son of God, in saying
that might be used
against Him? But Jesus answered
him with repeating the command
ment: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy |
God with all thy heart" etc, but the |
lawyer was not satisfied, and asked |
further: "Who is my neighbour
Then the Master repeated the story |
of the Good Samaritan" and when |
He had finished He asked the ques-
ton (Which of these three thinkest |
thou, proved neighbor unto him that
fell among the robbers" The law
yer answered saying "He that show
cd mercy on him" Then Jesus said /
TO the lawyer Go and do thou like
wise"
This is a wonderful story and has
come down ringing through the .
ages, until we face the fact that
Christ intended that it should apply .
to our lives who are living today.
The Golden Text sums up the whole
matter when it says: "ThOu shalt
love they neighbor as thyself." Lev.
1918.
Perhaps if people would obey this
commandment there would not be
so much suffering as there is in the
world today.
The writer wishes to say word
in favor of the primary department

THE STAR.SPANCLED BANNER

Congress hesitated a long time
before adopting the Star-Spanglcd
Banner as the official national an
them of the United States. But the
measure was finally sent to the
President in the closing days of the
recent session. Now that the anthem
is official it is hoped that more peo-
pie will be able to memOrize the
words and sing it through. Congress
listened to many objections against
adopting the song as a national an

ALetter to the "Southern Worker"

From Harris Island Prison, New York, comes
letter from, Harry Raymond, one of the lead
ers Of the March giant unemployment dem
onstration, commenting on the Southern
Worker. which he has received in Jail since
Il was founded six months ago in Birmingham,
Ala. The letter follows:

Southern Worker
Dear comrades:
here in Jail since it was first published Today
I received issue No. % and wish to congratulate
you for the excellent progress you have made in
revolutionary journalism below the Mason and
nivon line.
You paper was something that was long need
ed in the South. Its regular appearance at this
time OF economic and agrarian crisis when mill
lions Of workers and poor farmers are facing
starvation is OF the utmost importance.
1t is the only political paper Of the working
class published in the South which truly re-
fleets the struggles OF the workers and gives them
definite, clear-cut revolutionary program of
struggle against starvation and exploitation.
OF all the papers in the South. only the
SOUTHERN WORKER has called upon the
workers. Negro and white, to organize and fight
against lynching and Jim Crow-snl. The
SOUTHERN WORKER leads the fight for social,
economic and political equality for the most

WORKER has played very important role
Each issue Of this paper strikes like a broad
side of heavy artillery in the SNUG camps Of
the Southern mill owners and bourbon planters.
1t shows the workers of the South the way to
push over the lettering capitalist system, which
offers the workers nothing but starvation and
misery, and build up workers and farmers
government where the workers will receive the
full value Of their labor power.
Workers in the South and in the North, white
and colored should give the SOUTHERN
WORKER their utmost support. Build the
SOUTHERN WORKER into mighty fighting
weapon Of the Southern proletariatl
Fraternally yours,

Absurd But Serious

The propaganda for war against the Soviet
Union proceeds, just now, largely upon great
hullabaloo about dumping"
This is an insult to the intelligence Of any,
body, and we think that a few facts ought to be
given wide circulation just to show up this stupid
lie for what it is &
For example, the ridiculous assertion that So
Wet imports into the United States is the cause
of the depression" cannot stand up against
the fact that great industries, of the United
States such as STEEL tobacco sugar, textiles, and
many oilers, are certainly depressed" yet the
Soviet imports none Of these goods into the
United States. esq
Again here is the United States, nation
which in 1920 produced a total value OF manu-
featured goods of $6S0oO,o0o000 (Sixty Eight
Billion Dollars; and the dumping liars ex-
poet human brains to believe that this great
national economy is all upset by the importa-
ton Of a mere $30,O0000o (the total OF Soviet
imports into the U. S. in I93ol A mere COM
parison of these figures is enough to show UP
the lie.
Then again, we see the figures on exports to
and imports from the Soviet Union and the
change in these from 1929 to 1880, shows that
the United States is getting all the benefit Of
this change.
To be exact we see that imports into the U.
s. from the Soviet Union increased from $22r-
100000 in 1929 to only S300o00000 in 1880, or
a matter of only SO per cent; while exports from
the U. s. to the Soviet Union rose in the same
time from $84 600 in 1929 to something over
$l50,OOo0oo in 1880, or a matter Of over 70 per
cent!
In other words the amount the Soviet bought
from America increased about two and half
times over the increase in the amount OF what
America bought from the Soviet Yet the brass
faced liars who want war against the Soviet
act like the United States is being ruined by
this trade
To top it all, American exports to all CAPT
talist countries fell off in 1880, and American
exports to only one country increased, and that
country was the Soviet Uniorl
If political considerations are laid aside it
would look like the dumping" liars were acting
like merchant suddenly gone loco, who beats
up his best customer and tells him to go to
hell But these same dumping liars do not
lay political considerations aside!
They figure that the success of the Five Year
Plan involving as it does the immense better
ment OF the Soviet workers conditions while in
the capitalist world the workers are starving,
will inspire their own" workers to revolt
Their bunk about dumping" either present or
future is thus lie to incite workers here to
believe that the Soviet is their enemy and not
the capitalists here who are starving them te
death
So we say that every worker who does MOI
know this should be told about it And We
urge every reader of this article to paste it il
his hat and read it to his shop-mates. Let's xii
this dumping" lie! !

BY HARRY CANNES

According to the LoveStoneiteS, history was re-
peating itself in the socialist party. Ben Gitlow
writing on THE Crisis in the Socialist Party"
could compare the group of students led by
Louis Stanley, Theodore Schapiro and McAllister
Coleman only to "the Left Wing in the socialist
party in 1918-1919" But this "leftward move
ment in the ranks of the S. p" which was bound
to have important significance to the trade union
movement, socialist and Communist movement"
ended as farce.
The "battle" between the ''lefts," who call
themselves 'militants" and the official bureauc-
racy of the socialist party reached its eliminating
point in the final debate on two resolutions on
the Soviet Union. After wordy debate the Of
fetal resolution attacking governmental terror
ism" in the Soviet Union was passed by vote
of 81 to &C.
What was the attitude of these brave mill,
tants" who were to- oyerwhelm the socialist and
even Communist movement in the face OF this
defeat? The New York Times reports it as fol-
lows: Julius Gerber the chairman even men
toned the dreaded word split but Paul Porter
assured him that the 1efts would stand Loyalty
by the decision and continue their fight for
socialism"
Gerber breathes the word split and the mighty
upsurge in the socialist party that the Lovestone-
ties counted on so heavily is waited aside ike
fine powder in the wind.
Why are Gitlow and the other leading Love
stoneites so wrought up about this left move
ment in the socialist party? Why do they try
to place halo of revolutionary class content
about it? The Lovestonetes have drifted so far
to the right that the most counter-revolution-
airy elements look left to them.
For instance, Gitlow tries to connect the mill
tents" wits some deepgoing class movement 1t
is for this reason he compares it to the left
wing movement in the socialist party in 1918-1919
Not satisfied with the Daily Worker analysis
which was proved correct by the final action of
Paul Porter, the left-of-t he-efts in the militant"
group, Gitlow profoundly quotes Stanley's ar
ticle in the New York Leader where Stanley

plishments, under the guse of applying the new
methods of work Of the Party, the comrades now
raise the point, "Why the New Methods failed
to rally the miners" attempting to analyze their
shortcomings, coming to the conclusion that
those miners who are working, refuse to strug-
gle being afraid to lose their jobs. Therefore
we can only use the unemployed miners to Or
ganize these mines" In other words bring forth
the theory that in times ofsthe depression the
workers will not struggle which shows that not
only the comrade in question tried mechanically
to repeat the phrases of the Party in practical
application of the organizational tasks, but did
not grasp the correct political analysis OF the
Party.
We must be on our guard that this phrase
mongering shall not be used as a smoke screen
to cover up the failure of our actually wiping
out the old methods.
Commentary.
The example given by Comrade Olga Gold
shows how many comrades, in spite OF speak
ing about concentration, in practice fail to
achieve results. We publish it in order that it
shall serve to clarity again the decisions Of
the last Plenum Speaking about the necessity
of having a Plan of Work. to be concrete, to
conduct our work systematically ETC., is not
yet phrase-mongering, but 1t becomes such when
these correct ideas are not carried through If
the results in our work are weak or complete
failures, it is not because, as Con1rade Gold
states, our new methods are incorrect, or the
workers are not ready to struggle, but because
in their application many comrades still fail
in the analysis Of specific concrete situations
to reach the most suitable methods to be adopt
cd or fail in initiative and fexibility in finding
the way to overcome the hindrances and cir
cumyent the obstacles, and still reach the inn
mediate aims that we have to achieve.
