INSTALLMENT III.
THOUSANDS gather sround these
4 eviction scenes, and watch the
council volunteers hauling in fur
niture. At first the crowd seems
only a casual and neutral obser-
yer. But if the cops come, and
begin their usual murderous slug
ging, the crowd turns partisan at
once. 1t jeers, boos and even
stones the gangsters in uniform;
the heart of the southside is with
the Councils.
Everyone on the south side knows
and sympathizes with the work of
the councils. 1t has penetrated
everywhere. In a little barbecue
restaurant five truckdrivers were
at lunch, devouring huge platters
of pork ribs. I heard their talk;
they were discussing that morn
ing's editorial in the Daily Worker
on Germany. On a wooden stoop
at sunset sat group of tall job
less men and their wives One
giant in overalls fingered at
guitar; another was reading aloud
to the serious little group out of
a pamphlet by Lenin.

The meeting was to begin at

Many of them sleep and eat here.
They have no other home. There

More Worker Correspondents

CLEVELAND, O.-The District
Agitation and Propaganda Depart
ment, District 6, Ohio, hereby
makes an urgent appeal to all read
ers of the Daily Worker, to be-
come Worker Correspondents.
What is Worker Correspondent?
A Worker Correspondent writes
of his experiences in the class
struggle. The cutting of relief;
forced labor; discrimination against
Negroes and youth in the giving
of relief, shutting off of water, gas,
and electricity. evictions, wage cuts,
speed up, industrial accidents, etc,
all these things are. material for
worker correspondents.
There is the Socialist Party,
which throws out lies about help
ing the workers How is it helping
the hunger program Of the capital
ist state government headed by
Governor White? How are the
republican and democratic polite
ians trying to fool the workers in
all the communities in Ohio? This
is material for worker correspond
ents.
STRUGGLES OF FARMERS.
What are the striking farmers
around Bowling Green doing? What
are the impoverished farmers suf-
fering and saying? The worker
correspondents must find this out
and begin to develop farmer cor

human culture. The Socialist Party
has failed to appeal to such class,
and has refused to recognize the
necessity of its existence. The cap

Shrinks from this threat to the

which most of its leaders are at
heart attached.
FOR COMMUNIST PARTY
My reasons for supporting the
Communist Party at the coming
election are, briefly, as follows:
1. I believe that we must estab-
fish, on a strict economic founda-
ton, a society in which poverty,
the exploitation of man by man,
and the enthroning of money as
the standard of social and personal
value, shall be abolished beyond the
possibility of their return. Only
Communism can give this founda-
ton. Only from this foundation
can mankind begin to create the
new world culture which will be
the first human culture.
2. I believe that to this end

"Capitdlist Parties Rotten to the Core; S. p.
Shrinks Before Tasks of Revolution"

Revolutionary workers thru
out the u. S. will welcome this
militant statement by Waldo
Frank, eminent American author.
Frank recently headed a delega-
ton of prominent writers who
sought to bring relief to the strik-
ing Kentucky miners, and was vi
ciously assaulted by coal opera
tors thugs as result.
The statement vigorously at
lacks the two old parties and de-
nounces the socialists as reform
lists who shrink from the task
of destroying the capitalist order.
What Waldo Frank says about
the Socialist Party is, in general,
correct. However, it must be
noted that the Socialist Party is
to be condemned not only for
what it fails to do, but also for
what it actively does-to the det-
riment of the working class and
toward the maintenance of capt.
talism, which bellies socialist talk
about "a new society" Waldo
Frank correctly emphasizes that
the intellectuals must take sides:
Either with the capitalist dicta-
torship described by him as dull
and brutal fascism'O, which "pa-
rades under the banner of demo-
cracy," or with the comrades of
the revolutionary workers"
This call by Waldo Frank will
no doubt express the convictions
of an increasing number of Amer
lean intellectuaIs who are daily
leaving the camp of the bourge-
oisie-and enriching the revolu-
tionary movement with their ia
lent.-EDITOR'S NOTE.
MY reasons for not supporting the
h republicans or democrats need
scarcely be stated. These two par
ties are rotten to the core: Rotten
with the disease they represent,
the malignant disease of capitalism.
Their one real program is, at what
ever cost of life and human happi-
ness to the people, to sustain and
to perpetuate the hideous world
system of which their leaders are
the chief beneficiaries-a system of
which war and human exploitation
are the inevitable methods. And
their promises to the workers and
farmers are lies, SO cynical and
empty that it is difficult in times
like these to understand how the
leaders themselves can have the
impudence TO utter them.
AGAINST SOCIALIST PARTY
My reasons for not supporting the
Socialist Party are, of course, more
difficult to state in few works. Mr..
Hoover fatty believes in capitalism,
and therefore his actions, however
hypocritically he disguise them in
fine phrases, are at least logical;
and any man who believes in capt.
talism is logical in supporting Hoo
yer. The Socialist Party, on the
other hand, condemns capitalism
and is dedicated to the ideal of
socialist economy. But its trouble
is that it balks at the necessary
methods whereby the change to so
cialism can be achieved. Marx was
right in his thesis that only rev.
dictionary working class - fused
with the best elements .of the in

which is only a beginning, the
workers of the United States must
be militantJy educated to know that
under capitalism Gin good" times
or in bad times, they can only be
slaves-economic, intellectual, and
spiritual slaves. And believe that
the workers must organize militant
ly, in order that they may play
their historic role in the future of
the world.
INTELLECTUALS
MUST TAKE SIDES
g. l believe that the workers of
Soviet Russia and of Soviet China
have taken the lead in this revo-
lutionary task. And, therefore, they
must be defended at all costs
against the attacks, direct or indi-
rect, of imperialist governments of
Eprope and America.
4. believe that the intellectuals
of the United States-the writer's,
the artists, the teachers, the tech
nicians, and the clerks-must now
at last take sides. Either they re-
main, actively or passivly, the SER

brutal fascism which parades I'M

United States; or they must de-
clare themselves TIL enemies of our

Use Simpler Language
New York.

New York
Daily Worker Editor:
Comrade:--As the election cam
paign develops and we reach out
for more and more masses of the
workers, it is very essential for
outdoor speakers to use the sim
plest language possible SO as to
bring our issues clearly TO the
workers.
Last Friday one of the speakers
used such phrases as "cast your
ballot" Why not, "Vote Com
munist?" Another remark: sHoo-
YER and Starvation are synony-
NOUS" Why not Hoover means
Starvation" Hoover embarked on
a campaign Of wage cutting'-what
does the word embarked" mean to
the workers?
Simpler language at our open
air meetings Is very essential.
Speakers, please take note!
