tactics. This is merely stated to confuse the
workers. However, we may say, that the forced
admittance of a differnce in tactics is the diff
ference between the revolutionary practice, the
strategy and tactics of the Communists in Or
ganizing the workers for their daily struggles to
improve their living conditions and the coun-
ter-reyolutionary practice of the Socialists in
order to diSar1n the workers
Let us take a few examples. Morgan speaks
for the Block Aid system, so does Thomas. The
Communists are in the lead in the struggle for
unemployment insurance and immediate relief.
But Thomas also claims to be for unemployment
insurance. But what is the differnce? While
Thomas speaks for the Block Aid, while the So
CialiSt administration in Milwaukee follows the
same program Of starvation forced labor, the
Communists are training and organizing the
workers that only through mass revolutionary
struggles Will the workers compel the bosses to
grant their immediate demands. And there is a
world of difference between the Workers Unefn-
pIoynent Insurance Bill which is based on max
ing the state and the employers bear the entire
expense of unemployment insurance, and the
unemployment insurance proposals of the So
cialist Party which are worked out along the

Excerpts from Comrade Weinstone's summary
remarks at the 14th PIenum)
WHAT have we been discussing? What has
" been the theme of the remarks by most of
the comrades? What had we in reality been
trying to solve as result Of this prolonged dis
cussion? Very briefly, we have been trying to
solve the problem of correct mass work We
thought at the 18th Penm we had made the
beginning Of the turn. And for that reason we
were not fully aware of the situation in which
the Party finds itself. But, comrades have we
here in the resolution of the Communist Inter
national really a correction Of the estimation of
the Party at the time of the 18th Plenm? Or
have we in the resolution of the CT an estima-
ton of the work Of the Party just more or less a
few minor pluses of minuses? Not at all Because
since the time of the 18th Plenum life has not
stood still At the present Plenun, the I4th
Plenum of the Party, the question has been put
more sharply than it has in the past, and we
will not be able to appreciate the significance Of
this resolution if we do not understand the sig
nificance Of the moment in which we are dis
cussing this resolution
Since the time of the 18th Plenm of the
Party the crisis in the United States has deep
ened Since that time we have seen growing
struggles OF the masses. Since that time we have
seen that our enemies have not been quiet, they
have understood the menace of a Communist
Party. They are challenging with new methods
the leadership Of the Communist Party of these
radicalizing workers. But above all, the situa-
ton since the time of the 18th Plenum Is char
acterized by the fact that the war clouds have
gathered, that we stand upon the eve Of world
war, and that this challenges the Party with the
necessity for drastic Transformation of its entire
methods Of work and challenges it to change
the situation which has existed within the Party.
The Party is not modified has not been or
ganized for this historical moment and it is
the purpose Of the resolution of the CT to steel
the Party, to equip it to be able to stand the
blows Of war and to steel the Party so it is
able to fulfill the task of being an active and

COME workers may think that the CONSUMPTION
of all the workers of the nation during the
war is fantastic idea only existing in the heads
Of few fascist This is not SO at all. 1t is on
the contrary the logical working out of the most
modern theory Of war thought out by the best
capitalist minds, both civil and military. That
this theory involves highly developed fascism
only proves that there can be no real difference
between the avowed faSciStS and those who claim
to be liberals
The conception of the whole Nation At War
developed toward the end of the 1914-1s world
slaughter. Up to then war was conceived as be-
ing fought between armies and navies. But that
war showed that for country to win war
it must be able to swing the whole nation to
war basis In the shortest possible time.
Bernard Baruch, formerly head of the War
Industries Board states the case very clearly in
a lengthy monogram submitted to the War Pol
icies Commission hearing held in 1881. He writes:
what ii really means is that In the next
major conflict the entire population must sud
denly cease TO be congeries of individuals, each
following self appointed course and become a
vast urttary mechanism, composed, in our case,
Of some 125,000,O00 correlated moving parts all
working toward the end Of directing practically
all our material resources to the single purpose
Of victory"
Modern war requires that the full power OF
the nation be extended In the shortest possible
space Of time, not only to the violent beating
down OF the enemy by any destructive ma
terial force we can invent or use, but also
to every process of slow and often insidious
economic strangulation and political isolation
that we can devise and administer" Require
nsents Of Modern War-Hearings. Sec. e. D. 81.
Baruch Is one who in the hearing expressed
himself against the CONSUMPTION of labor for
industrial purposes In the next war. But who
can doubt that his own conception of war leads
directly to industrial conscriptiOn' How else
can lbs, 100000 individuals become vast unit

purpose of victory.
1t Is not only financiers who are giving
serious thought to industry in the coming war.
The military leaders also have their plans
ready to put into operation the moment war
seems imminent Thus General Douglas Mac
Arthur, chief of staff Of the U. S. Army, pre-
scented a treatise to the Commission entitled
plan for Industrial Mobilization"
He also recognizes the need Of forced labor

Negro Soldiers and Lmperialist War

Today the Daily Worker begins the publica-
ton of series of three articles, compiled by the
editorial board of the Liberator, exposing the
facts of the shameful discrimination practiced
against Negro soldiers during the last impe-
riast war-a discrimination that ranged from
Jim Grow rest-rOoms and mess-halIs to brazen
and brutal lynchings and maSSacreS of the Ne
gro workers and tOilers in uniform.
The Daily Worker asks ex-Servicemen, both
Negro and white, and all workers, to send us
additional facts, which we shall print.
Article No.
TODAY, on the eve of a new imperialst war
the bosses, and the misleaders of the Negro
people, are considering the question: How are
we to drag the Negro masses into another war?
And already the Negro misleaders, such as Gar
vey, Pickens ETC., have begun barrage Of poi
sonous propaganda to the effect that Japan,
who is attacking Manchuria in preparation for
a general inlperialist attack on the Soviet Union
by America, France and all other capitalist
powers, should be supported as a force that will
unite the darker races" This propaganda is
part and parcel of the war preparations.
But the Negro workers and farmers will not
so easily be fooled into another imperialist war
The treatment received by Negro soldiers during
the last war, the continued Jim Crowism in the
years SINCE the terrific increase Of lynchirgs
and lynch frame ups-aI these things have
opened the eyes of large masses of Negro workers
to their real enemies, who are also the enemies
of the white Workers-the bosses.
The facts about the shameful treatment ac-
corded Negroes during the last world war should
be known to every worker and should be spread

TO OVERCOME THE ISOLATION
FROM THE DECISIVE SECTIONS
OF THE WORKING CLASS

The Communist Party of U. S. A. has made
some improvement in its work in strikes.
hunger marches and the struggles of the Ne
groes Notwithstanding this, and the increas-
ingly favorable conditions for the fulfilIment
of its daily increasing tasks in the struggle
against the offensive of the bourgeoisie,
against the pronounced aggressiveness of
American imperialism and the immediate
perspectives of new imperalist world war,
our Party has not yet made the essential
change in its work necessary for the carry
ing out of it's chief immediate task. This task
Is to overcome the isolation of the Party
from the decisive masses of the American
proletariat, to come before the masses
as their vanguard in the struggle against
the offensive of the bourgeoisie and against
the imperialist war and to firmly root itself
in the decisive industries by means of solid
personal contacts with the workers.-(Open-
ing paragraph from the 14th Plenum Reso-
luton printed in the April issue Of the Com
nnunist and in the Daily Worker Of April zS.)

means furthermore that these struggles must
be carried through on the basis of the activi-
ties of the masses, and that the tasks of the
Communists are precisely to develop and or
ganiZe this activity and initiative of the mass
es. This calls for the most concrete applica-
ton of the united front from below in ac-
cordance with the varying degree of influence
of the Communists, the extent of the radical
ization Of the workers, the influence of the
social fascists. etc, thus applying the line of
independent policy, not mechanically but on
the basis of careful analysis of the concrete
conditions of work and of struggle. Inseparably
linked up with this and basic prerequisite
of our entire mass work, is the persistent
struggle against the fascist and social fascist
leaders Of the A. F. of L. and against the so
cialist party, and particularly the left social
fascists."
In a word, this is the heart Of the resolution
Of the Communist International
Strong Personal Bonds With Workers.
l will call attention to some of the writings
of the Russian comrades, which apply force
fully to this point of the necessity of the estab-
lishment of strong personal bonds with the
workers
And we can take to heart the remarks made by
Comrade Schwerdnick, the head of the trade
unions in the Soviet Union, on the relations of
Party to non-Party masses, which he made at
the 9th Plenum of the Profintern on this basic
question. He said describing the manner in
which they have carried out their tasks in the
factories:
1--WE nursed the Party workers, we vis-
tied them in their homes and gave them our
newspapers we were not too proud to worry
about one individual worker, because it was
In this way that we forged body of miIitants.
But what have we got now? We may hear
such talk as his in number of sections Of
the Profintern, IF there is gathering of a
thousand workers, I will speak but if there are
only hundred persons, then it is not worth
worrying about This will not do You have to
create your body of militants one by one.
These units are not enrolled all at once, but
later on they will be harnessed for the workers.
Therefore, the question Of educating the indi-
vidual workers Is highly important. The prac-
tice Of factory committees should not be to
come forward In the open in body SO that
all the members find themselves outside the
factory gates at once. This would be sign of
cowardice. This Is not a question of coward
ice-this is question Of the ability to work"
In this spirit must we understand the highly
important point emphasized in the resolution
of establishing solid personal contact with the
masses

1t has been argued that a great
many people who live in Rockville

the fact that Rockville merchants

will also be made to interest the
merchants in advertising and the
merits of putting on special sales

Physicians Urged
To Support State
Health Department


The medical profession was urged
to support State health movements in
every manner possible at the Mary
land State Medical Society meeting
Tuesday at the Manor Club, Norbeck.
DR.. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon-gen-
eral of the United States Public
Health Service, made the principal
address at the meeting.
He said modern medicine requires
an army of medical men to go forth
and fight in the fields of research,
even as a trained army of soldiers has
replaced the calling of the plowman
from his field of war. The time will
come when private research funds
will not be adequate to keep medical
knowledge advancing, he said. He
urged the private practitioner to join
hands, with the Public Health Serv-
ice, instead of battling it, so that
medicine might remain true to its
traditions of self-sacrifice.
The meeting was the first held by
the State society in Montgomery
County since 1923. Mrs. Upton D.
Nourse, of Jamestown was chairman
of the reception committee, assisted
by Mrs. Dexter M. Bullard, Mrs. Will
lam A. Linthicum, Mrs. Howard H.
Hewlett, Mrs. William E. Lewis and
Mrs. Claude W. Mitchell. The COM
mittee on arrangements included DR..
]. W. Bird, of Sandy Spring, chair
man; DR.. Howard H. Hewlett, of Sill
yer Spring, and DR.. Dexter M. Bull
lard, of Rockville.
The physicians were welcomed by
DR.. Billiard and the response was by
DR.. Eldridge E. Wolff, of Cambridge,
president of the State group.
