A NEW SWINDLE OF THE
RENEGADES

VIE LovesJone and Cannon renegades are en-
gagged in new joint campaign Of attempt
ing to continue their bankrupt SWindling activ-
tiles OF the small groups of workers still under
their influence In the Trotskyist paper, May
7th Issue, the joint campaign is launched by the
publication of letters from Lovestone signed by
fictitious names purporting to expose secret
unity negotiations between Lovestone and the
Party" This was then followed up in the Love
stone paper, May 14th, with a direct statement
under renegade Gitlow's name that he had been
negotiating with the Party and the Comintern
through Com-ade Stachel.
The Central Committee brands all of these
statements as lies manufactured out of whole
cloth. The Communist Party has not the slight
est intention nor reason to negotiate with any
groups of nter-revoutonary renegades. 1t
has learned through three years Of experience
that these groups have but one function to per-
form; that is struggle against the Communist
Party, attempts to destroy its influence among
the masses of workers, spreading of slanderous
rumors among the workers and attempts to
penetrate the Party with these tactics through
he less-deyeloped members, open collaboration
with the social fascists and even with the po-
lice. These renegade groups perform the role
OF provocsteurs and stool pigeons.
The workers will never forget how GitloW on
the eve of the May Day demonstration, 1880,
came forward in the capitalist press as chief as
sistant OF Police Commissioner Whalen with a
denunciation of the Communist Party as guilty
OF provoking Whalen and the police to violent
suppression Of the May Day demonstration while
Gitlow called upon the workers not to come to
Union Square at the call of the Communist
Party. Workers will never forget the record over
many years of open collaboration of the renegade
groups with the socialist party, A. F. of L.. and
Musteite strike breaking activities, especially in
the needle trades and textile and their ISLANDERS
against the Soviet Union, which are part Of
the inperialist war preparations The Commu-
mist Party has only one relationship towards
such elements as the renegade groups: that is,
ruthless struggle, exposure and liquidation of
these grourf as enemies Of the working class.
The Lovestone- Cannon unity swindle is mere

upon TIE Communist Party. In order to manu-

is already raging in the Far East.
Japan is now carrying on bandit war against
the Chinese people Heavy concentration Of
japanese troops in Northern Manchura for war
against the Soviet Union has the support OF
United States imperialism. In Western Europe
frantic preparations are going ol for military
intervention in the Soviet Union. In all these
preparations American imperialism is an ag
gressive accomplce. Wall Street urges Japan to
war against the Soviet Union, in the hope, as
the Moscow Pravda (Truth) said months ago,
of: striking vital blow at the Soviet Union and
at the same time weakening its imperialist rival,
Japan, in the conflict over the mastery of the
Pacific.
OF course, one whose political role is to Inn
plant pacfist illusions among the masses, in an
effort to dull their vigilance against imperial
ist war, must try to conceal the fact that the
Massie case is used to aid in imposing martial
law upon Hawaii, as part Of the preparations
for war in the Pacific.
The rank and file members of the Socialist
party should openly repudiate the Infamous
treachery of their leaders and withdraw from
that capitalist party.
To support the Socialist party is to aid the
Wall Street butchers carry on their lynching
campaign against the Negro masses at home,
against the workers and peasants in the colo
MES and semi-colonies, to further beat down the
standards of life of the masses generally and
to foment imperialist war.
The Communist Party is the only party of the
working class; the only Party that fights against
capitalist despotism; the only Party that wages
the class struggle
Every act of the Socialist party leadership
emphasizes the correctness of the resolution for
the Fourteenth Plenum of the Central Com
mittee of ou- Party, which stressed the neces-
sty of increasing, sharpening and improving the
fight against social-fascism, as the main enemy
in the struggle for the successful mobilization
of the masses in the fight against the bourgeois
offensive and the war danger.

who announced that he had severed all rela-
tons with the renegadeS and upon this basis
tried to approach personally at different times,
Comrades Weinstone, Bedacht and Stachel. Both
Comrade Weinstone and Comrade Bedacht in

informed Comrade Stachel that he had in
formation that Lovestone personally recognized
the bankruptcy of his renegade group and want
ed to negotiate new relations with the Party
upon the basis of attending Brandlerite con-
ference in Berlin and disrupting it from within.
Comrade Stachel Immediately reported this to
the Party without discussing 1t with the Love-
stone representative; a decision was at once
made that the Party was not interested in any
of Loyestones plans except to fight them, a
decision with which Comrade Stachel fully con-
CURED. 1t is highly characteristic Of the I'M
principled political character Of the renegade
groups that this visit Of Lovestone's emissary to
propose the disruption of his own group was
put forward as a bait by which they hoped to
involve the Party in conversations to furnish
new ammunition for their struggle against the
Party
For the members OF the Party, this incident
should be another lesson not to allow such in
triguing counter revolutionary elements any in
fluence whatever on them or on the workers gen.
really Those fine, honest workers who formerly
followed the renegades, have returned to the
Party. The Lovestone and Cannon renegades
have but one purpose-to hinder and obstruct
the struggles OF the workers and try to destroy
the Communist Party, the organizer and leader
of the workers The entire Party from bottom
to top should answer their latest attacks by COM
plotting their exposure before the workers as
strike breakers and renegades and drive their
remnants out of the ranks of the working class
movement.

Broun is concerned because these two acts,
set side by side before the workers, helps to
expose the class nature of capitalist justice.
Mooney, the working class fighter, is kept in
prison on a framed-up charge, while the capit-
alSt murderers of Kahahawai are set free.
The socialist leader, Haywood Broun, has the
insolence to declare that there is Not the
slightest connection" between these two cases,
these two examples Of the functioning of AM
erican justice"
Any w1de-awake member of the Pioneers, the
Communist children's organization, can refute
this twaddie of Broun. A pioneer would tell
him that both these cases as well as the Scots
boro frame-up, the Berkman deportation case,
show the vicious class character of american
justice" To claim that there is no connection
between the two cases is the most crude dema-
gogy. Not only is there a connection between
the liberation Of the Hawaiian murder gang and
the continued torture of Tom Mooney, but
these two cases are a part of one indivisible
capitalist policy; policy that manifests itself
in increasingly violent attacks against the work.
ing class.
just as Norman Thomas aids the Alabama
lynchers in maintaining their terror regime
against the Negro masses by denying the cap
itaIist class character of the Alabama Supreme
Court, SO Broun tries to create similar illusions
about the action of the Wall Street hireling
Governor, Judd, in placing the stamp of APP
proval upon those who are trying to establish
the institution of lynching in Hawaii.
BY placing the question Of the Hawaiian trial
as an isolated thing, not in any way connected
with the general imperialist policy of Wall
Street, the socialist leader, Broun, deliberately
excludes the central point of the whole case
the importance Of the Hawaiian Islands as a
naval and army base. No avowed capitalist
writer has attempted to conceal the Importance
Of this chief military outpost in the Pacific"
Only the Socialist party leaders. in keeping with
their social-fascist flunkeyisnl, try to deny the

TOWARD Revolutionary Mass Work PHS 4rz SSu 9
Shop Work by Means of Personal Contact
By A. LERNER

Thus we see how from tiny acorn mighty
oak can grow.
Can we say that since the 18th Plenurn, held
last August, the Party has not increased its work
at the factories? No, I think we cannot say
this. In general, after the 18th Plenun, factory
work was taken up with q good deal more seri-
business than before; at the same time great
many more street nuclei began to carry on fac
tory concentration But when we look at the
results Of this increased activity we see that the
number of new factory nuclei and shop groups
established is absolutely insignificant.
What is the main weakness of the Party units
in carrying on factory concentration? The
main weakness of the units can be found in the
misunderstanding which exists of the method
by which the Party and the revolutionary trade
unions can root themselves In the factory. In
the great majority of cases the units carry on
work In general way, considering the mass OF
workers in the factory as one solid whole. We
have found out that unfortunately things do not
work out this way. Thus when wage-cut or
some other attack Of the boss against the work
ers takes place, our call to the workers to take
strike action finds small response, and we won
der what is the matter with these workers.
There is nothing the matter with the work
ers. The fault lies with U.s. If we had our net

this moment heightened to tremendous pitch.
However, without contacts, we can only appeal
to the workers as some outside group, we can
only work through leaflets, and very often not
even in this way on account of police and com
pany terror.
What then is our task in the Party units?

IN stating that the main task of the Party is
ITO firmly root itself in the decisive industries"
the 14th Pleuum resolution points out that this
also is TO be done 'by means of solid personal
contacts with the workers"
This means that when a unit carries on fac
tory concentration it Is not enough to merely

We must not feel that concentrating on only
few responsive workers is too slow method
for us to use. AS soon as we make one solid
personal contact we have achieved an important
victory. We have gained position from which
we can now advance our work at the factory
