they fight these wars. They know that only
world union of workers governments which will
end capitalism, will abolish wars. The socialists
believe that the capitalist nations could live
peacefully together and that the League of Ma
tions could prevent war.
The Communists support every revolutionary
movement against the existing social and poll
tical system, they support the revolutionary ma
tional movements in China, India, Arabia, Latin
America, etc. The socialists oppose all of those
revolutionary movements; they support imperial-
ism in its control and exploitation of the colo
NAL and smaller nations They stand for super
imperialism" and when in power, as in England
actually murder and terrorize workers who re-
volt against oppression and fight for their free
dom and better conditions.
The Communists organize the workers all over
the world to defend the Soviet Union, the work
ers' fatherland, against imperialist invasion and
the plots of its enemies. The socialists while
they may utter few Favorable" remarks, are
actively opposed to the Soviet Union and in prac-
tice help in plots against 1t, allying themselves
with the capitalists to SANDER and overthrow it.
Question = what is the difference between
Communism and Socialism? Brooklyn, N. Y.
After capitalism has been overthrow, it will
take some time to build true Communist So
ciety. Under the rule Of the workers (the Die
tatorship Of the Proletariat) there will be
period Of transition from capitalism to Com
munism. In this period the workers will first
build up Socialism, which is lower stage than
Communism. During Socialism, conditions will
be far better. but there will still be some hang
overs and inequalities inherited from capitalist
society, which must be god rid of before Com
munsm can be reached.
But under Socialism none Of these s,irvivals
Of capitalist society will be protected or defended
by any social force. They will disappear as rapid
ly as mankind subjugates the forces OF nature,
re-educates itself in the spirit Of Communism
and passes from Socialism to Communism
The Soviet Union is now building Socialism
After capitalism has been overthrow in all
countries the transition from Socialism to Com
munism viii come rapidly

Fight for the Foreign Born

members do not admit the non-citizen accord
ing to a survey of the National League for Amer
lean Citizenship. OF 100000 jobs studied, L.
100000 were found closed to the unnaturalized,
in such industries as the transportation, public
utility, steel and automobile.
Now along comes MIR. Hamilton Fish of the
American Legion to introduce in Congress bills
that will attempt to deport all foreign born
workers, who dare to raise their voices against
worsening conditions. Bills already introduced
and carrying the names of Ashwell, Blease and
Gable, aim to photograph, finger print and es-
tablish police supervision over foreign born work
ers.
American and foreign born workers together
will fight against these bills, and against ex-
clusion and all other restrictions placed upon the
foreign born. This fight is led by the Commit
tee for the Protection of Boreign Born" elected
by representatives of 100000 native and foreign
born, white and Negro workers In stating its
position against all discrimination, the Commit
tee calls for united front OF all workers to
fight against the bills which are an attack net
only upon the foreign born but on the entire
working class. The task in the big industrial
cities, where there are great masses of immi-
grants, is to mobilize these masses to resist all
discriminatory laws and practices. The NJ Y
District Committee for the PFB, for instance,
has already called conference for Feb 8-and
there must not be one organization in New York
not represented at this conference.
We, the American and foreign born workers
together demand that the United States Con-
gress take immediate action SO that all discrim-
ination against the foreign born shall be ended
without delay.

All! Pickpockets!

One of the lads who has been standing out In
front of New York bank during his spare time
for several days, trying to get something back,
told us this one-and it's rather good:
The long line was waiting YEARLY in the cold,
shoulders hunched up against the wind like the
south end of steer backing up against biz
zard. Passersby were, naturally, passing by. But
some halted moment to look over the linz Of

March 8, 1851. must have special significance,
not only to king women but to the working
class as whole. This year International Wo-
mems Day takes place at time when the eco
nomic crisis is deepening and becoming more
acute when the attacks on the working class
are becoming sharper and more brutal, when the
imperialist countries arining to the teeth for
another world war and for an armed interview
ton against the Soviet Union. The intervention
preparations of the imperalists are being has
tened because they fear the tremendous building
of socialism in the Soviet Union. There the
workers are completing the Five-Year Plan in
three and half years, the standards of living
are steadily rising, there is no unemployment
and women workers have freedom and equality
with men. This is indeed a contrast with the
mars unemployment, the wage cuts, the victim
ization, the misery and starvation of workers in
capitalist countries.
With hundreds of bank failures in the USA
in 1880, with the recent crashes in Wall Street
the capitalists in trying to escape from the cri-
sis are throwing greater pressure on the working
class, especially on women workers BY forcing
women into industry at lower wages than men
workers, the bosses are successfully reducing the
entire working class to further misery and starva-
ton.
The army Of 10 million unemployed in the
U.S.A., which is growing larger, means untold
suffering to millions OF men, women and children
In Chicago countless women have been found
sleeping in the streets; in New. York, Detroit
and other cities, hundreds of women are freez-
ing on bread lines and begging to get into free
lodging houses; in Philadelphia alone over
10000 children come to school everyday without
food or warm clothing. All over the country
hundreds of evictions take place everyday, the
hospitals and jails are filled to Overlooking, the
number of deaths from exposure and starvation

Our Org. -Agitprop Conferences

is there sufficient understanding as to the re-
lationship between Org and Agit Prop activities.
In connection with our coming Org-Agit Prop
conferences, we are re-printing two paragraphs
of the resolutions adopted at the European
Agit Prop conferences. CThe resolutions were
printed in No. 54 and 81 Of the Inprecorr)
"In view of the growing world crisis, the
aggravating class struggle and the rising revo-
lutionary wave, the Agitprop work of the Com
munist Parties is becoming very important
factor in the struggle for the masses, for the
capture of the majority of the working class
and for assumption of leadership in the class
struggles The turn of all of the Communist
Parties toward the masses and the placing of
the question of organzationaI consolidation of
the political influence of the Communist Par
ties as a central issue are indissolubly con-
nected with increased theological work of the
Parties, emphasis ours, ed.) with qualitative
and quantitative improvement of the Commu-
mist press, with the organization of a sound
basis for agitation and propaganda in the
workshops, with better preparation and Or
ganization of mass campaigns with proper
theological work during economic struggles,
with proper oral and written agitation in the
mass organizations, with the organization of
systematic teaching of the theories of Marxism
and Leninism, and the raising of the theo-
retical activity of the Party"
"In view of the inseparable connection of
agitation and propaganda, with organization,
the conference calls attention to the inadmis-
sibility of contrasting organizational work to
agitation and propaganda on the ground that
more emphasis is necessary on organizational
work. The conference holds that one of the
most essential conditions for the bringing
about of real turn to the Masses and for
successful organizational consolidation of the
Party is serious attention to agitprop work,
the establishment of rigid control and firm
leadership over this work, systematic study
and assimilation of the experience obtained in
it and the subordination of its plans to the
immediate tasks of the Party. The first con-
dition of success of the desired turn is
strengthening of the agitprop apparatus of
the &C. and the local committee Especially
in the large industrial centers), by electing
workers as their members. clear definition of
the tasks of the agitprop departments at the
present time and the correct organization Of
these departments"

A Premium On Happiness

The Long Island Daily Press Of Jan. 81, has
taken on safe bet. On the front page the
editor offers one dollar every day for the "Best
Letter Indicating Departure of Depression
1t goes on to specify that it wants you to
"pick out a sunbeam now and then from all dark
Clouds" and without waiting for information it
ventures to state that Happy Days Are Com
ing"
Evidently happy days for workers are so
darned few that the capitalists can offer a re-
ward for them and still keep their money.

AT our coming Org-Agit Prop Conferences, the
n organizational consolidation viii be the main
problem for discussion. Comrade PlatnitsKy In
his recent pamphlet, "World Communists in Ac-
ton" discusses the causes which prevent the
sections of the Communist International from
consolidating their great and growing influence.
We are re-printing paragraph of this PAM
phlet which gives some of the main causes:
s'By means of Communist ideas, a correct
policy and tactics, bold struggle against the
hourgeoisie, the social-democrats, refornists
fascsits and renegades, the Communist Party
attracts to its side the great masses in capt.
,alist countries and colonies. This shows the
wide theological influence which the Conmu-
mist Party of all countries exercises over the
broad masses But even the best of the Sec
tons of the Communist International in CAPT.
talist countries such as the Communist Party
of Germany and the Communist Party OF
France. have not yet learned how to CONSOLE
date that influence. The causes for this, as
was pointed out above are the following:
"The muddle in Party construction, bad func-
tioning of Party organizations, inexact work,
lack of leadership, instructions and control over
the work of Communists and Communist frac-
tons in mass proletarian organizations; the
inability to organize and conduct mass cam
paigns simultaneously by the whole Party, set
ting going all the transmission belts among
the masses and to consolidate the results of
these campaigns organizationally in those mass
organizations, where there are Communists and
sympathizers; finally, the inability the I'M
willingness the incapacty to put an end to
all those obstacles, to replace all those COM
rades who hamper the reconstruction Of the
organization on the basis of factory nuclei.
How otherwise can we explain the causes Of
nuctuation of Party membership, which be-
comes a constant feature in all Communist
Parties of capitalist countries What is most
alarming is that frequently there are more
members leaving the Party than joining it.
Revolutionary workers are attracted by the
Communist Parties hoping to find in them a
well-functionng organization, which could sat-
isfy all their requirements and make use of
the whole of their revolutionary energy Fail
ing to find this, the workers. that are in a
revolutionary mood but as yet insufficiently
class conscious, are abandoning the ranks of
the Party.
There is not enough clarity in our Party as

PARTY LIFE
Party Promptness
BY r. MUNTER.

1t seems that the directives for campaigns,
special events ETC., have confirmed habit Of
reaching the outlying districts very late In
fact some Of the material for such events and
campaigns doesn't get here in time to be of
use. Though comrades always criticize the dis
trict, myself included, it stands to reason that
the district cannot give what it has not.
little thought to the detail of time in planning
activities would help. On the coast. at least
in Washington and Oregon, the Daily arrives
four days after mailing. Announcements should
therefore be timed to meet that deficiency
This is not only in the Daily but in all ma
tional office mateial. The fact that an over
worked district will be tardy is not considered
and am sure that the district will respond to
good example. If it is not possible to send all
material then, samples at least to give an idea
OF what is expected should be Forthcoming. OF
course, this applies to district offices as we'll
A few examples out here right now The Daily

We did not know about 1t until the Daily had it.
I am sure that advance material on it was given
somewhere. The plans for the Amnesty Drive Of
the LID. did not greet any of the city members
for the New Year as was announced in the LID
Now when we are trying to make the turn and
correct our own habit Of lateness it is impera-
tive that the national and district bodies also try
or course. In Portland we have had some
trouble in the attack on the Party and militant
workers. but in getting around this we fail still,
to remember that any workers we attract will
not be able to keep interest If we do not show
the promptness and vigor of real revolutionists
ourselves. believe that new workers should be
encouraged and their attempts pointed out en-
couragingly II they merit It, We are little
more experienced and should institute the feel
ing Of comradeshp among the workers.
