.g0BLESS REPULSE
SOCIALIST PARTY

NEW YORK, June 3O.-A united
front Of socialists, landlords and po-
licemen sprung up at a meeting in
Boro Park when some unemployed
workers attempted to denounce the
vote-catching schemes OF the Social
list Party, worker correspondent re-
ports.
The meeting was called by the So
cialist Party on June % for the os-
tensible purpose of organizing the
unemployed workers of Boro Park
It's real purpose however was to keep
the workers away from the Boro Park
Unemployed Council, which led a
number of victorious fights in the
neighborhood against evictions and
for immediate relief.
When workers accused the Socialist
Party of attempting to keep the job
less from struggling for relief, Chas.
Solomon, the speaker, tried to defend
his party. Some of the workers pre-
sent recalled how the Socialist Par
ty through Norman Thomas, its
standard bearer, backed UP the
block aid" scheme OF Morgan.

! where political democracy has been
achieved, as contrasted with ma
tons like CZarist Russia in an
earlier period of political evolution"
Labor Age, April 1881.
In the August 1881 issue Of the
Labor Age, Mr. Music still further
developed his point when he said,
THE Communist Party in the U. S.
today, suffers from a mechanical die
tation from outside which severely
handicaps it in its dealing with the
American situation. Its roots are not
primarily in the American soil" The
aim here of the social fascists of all
shades and colors is to rob Leninism
of it's main feature, its international
feature, which is that Leninism is
not merely rooted in the Russian soil,
but rooted in the International soil
of the class struggle.
Conlrade Stain In his "Founda-
lions of Leninism" clearly states:
"Leninism is an International pheno-
mena, it is rooted in International
ism and is not solely Russian" The
International feature of Leninism is
very clearly expressed in comrade
Stains formulation dealing with the
relation of Leninisn to Marxism,
when he says:
'Leninism is the Marxism Of the
epoch of Imperialism and of the
proletarian revolution. To be more
precise, Leninism is the theory and
tactic of the proletarian revolution
in general, and the theory and tao
tic of the dictatorship of the pro-
letariat in particular"
For our Party which struggles in
the leading imperialist country - the
world which country is at the present
time hardest hit by the economic cri-
sis, the ABSORPTION of the teachings of
Leninism is fundamental for the sue
cess of the Party in establishing it
self es the vanguard of the toiling
masses.
The tendency in theory or practice
to underestimate the immediate ne
cessity of applying Leninism in solv-
ing the burning problems facing the
Party at the present time must be
traced back to their class source,
namely, the influence of social fas-
cism on the Party.
Our Party membership is largely
new. To assimilate the new Party
membership means to Undue it with
the spirit and teachings of Lenin
The publication of the Foundations
OF Leninism" by Stain is very time
ly The greatest use must be made
of Stains book in all of our studies
More than that, we must particularly
take it as manual and guide for
revolutionary practice.

Necessary to Pick Up
All Local Issues and
Use Them in Election
Brooklyn, N. Y.

Brooklyn, N. Y.
Dear Comrades:
AS to local issues: The candidates
should apply to the Workers Center
or Unemployed Councils in their
neighborhool and arm themselves
with all the facts, names and ad-
dresses of workers who have been
refused relief, evictions and cases OF
starvation. Explain these cases and
ask what have their representatives
f. done to stop these evictions and what
help have they given to get relief to
the starvation cases. Also to study
the candidates who were in office
last year and who are running this
year. Look up their previous plat
form and present platform. And on
these bases expose their fake prom
ises and tear the masks off their
faces. This will be the chance to
chow the difference between the
Democrats, Republicans and Social
lists as to their fake promises and to
clearly show the stand of the G. p,
which fights for the workers, with
the workers and by the workers.
Also more attention should be
paid to the question of the soldiers
tombstone bonus, because many
takers will rally the ex-soldiers on
this issue, so we must arm ourselves
with more facts and figures on this
question.
Be All workers must intensity their
activity in their shop, because we
were always talking about turning
our face to the shops, so here is our
opportunity to accomplish this task
In our section, one of the most
serious shortcomings will be that no
Negro worker has been nominated as
candidate. Although there are two
Negro populated sections, one on
Moore Street and vicinity and the
other around the Socialist Party
stronghold on Myrtle Avenue, here
would be our opportunity to expose
the S. p. on their stand as to the
Negro question. We have been try
ing to get the Negro workers TO our
side, but up to now we have not had
any great results. But now, in this
election, with Negro candidate, we
would be able to rally the Negro
workers to our side. This shortcom-
ing should be looked into before the
election so we would not have to
count it as shortening after the
election campaign.

with his married daughter. I was
discussing the election CAMPAIGN and
the Importance of voting for the

The whole car was listening in and
smiling in our direction. I pointed
out the difference between the So
cialist and the Communist parties in
relation to the everyday struggles and
linked it up with the election cam
paign. The workers around us adj
mitted that there was only one party
really fighting for the workers and
that was the REDS"
One worker in the subway told rle
that he had been getting SIG week
driving a truck for laree concern
and that his salary had been cut
to $14 week and he has to pay
fifty cents week for lis uniform.
When told him that u American
capitalists are bringing down the
wages to those of the Chinese coolies,
he admitted that I was right.
The lesson of all these experiences
is that everyone of us should con-
tinue this kind of propaganda and
agitational work and end with taking
the names and addresses of the work.

WILL THE SOVIET ATHLETES BE
PERMITTED INTO THE
UNITED STATES?


BY ST Gerson
MANY WORKERS are already
AVA familiar with the fact that there
are two athletic meets going on in
the United States in the month of
July. One is the Olympic Games
in Los Angeles; the other is the
International Workers Athletic Meet
at Stage Field, Chicago on July %,
% and 30.
The Olympic Games are supposed
to be examples of international
friendship" However, the army
officers and millionaires who run
those games, have not seen fit to
invite the Soviet Union, one-sixth
of the earth's surface. The Ma
tional Counter Olympic Committee,
however, composed of representa-
tives of workers organizations, on
the contrary, invited the Soviet
Union to take part in the Inter
national Athletic Meet.
Refuse Free Visas!
THE Natinal Counter Olympic
l Committee wrote to the State
Department in Washington, asking
that the athletes coming to the
I. w. A. M. be permitted to come
on the same basis as the Olympic
athletes, that is, without the usual
forrnality of visa fee. The State
Department refused in a letter
dated June 3rd, where they stated
that the Olympic athletes are being
permitted to come in on the basis
of free visas by special resolution
of Congress. Congress, of course,
has not seen fit to pass any special
resolution asking for the Soviet
athletes to enter, free visa or no
free visaD
The National Counter Olympic
Committee thereupon, wrote the
State Department that they are
suggesting to the Soviet athletes
that "they proceed to the nearest
country in which there is an Am
erican Consulate and there arrange
to obtain visas at the usual fee.
Now it is no longer question of
free visas. Now it is an open and
shut question: Will the State De-
partment permit the Soviet athletes
to enter this country and COMPETE
ton with American and Canadian
athletes?
These developments must be
watched very closely. However, it
is not enough for every worker or
workers organization to watch de-
velopments; it is necessary that
every workers organization insists
that the State Department permit
the Soviet athletes to enter.
Demand Entrance USSR Athletes
NTE cannot be content with silence
" from the State Department. We
must insist upon a definite answer.
Every workers organization should
adopt resolutions demanding that
the Soviet athletes be permitted to
come and compete at the I. w.
A. NJ, July %, 90 and 80, at Stagg
Field, Chicago. These resolutions
and kilograms should be forwarded
to the Secretary of State, Washing
ton, D. c., and copies sent to the

(On the publication of the Found

BY SAM DON
THE eyes Of the toiling masses are
turning towards the Soviet Union
The successes of the first 5-Year
Plan, the abolition of classes
through the second Swear Plan, ex-
ercise tremendous influence on the
starving toilers in the capitalist
countries. The Soviet Union is the
very embodiment of the revolution
ary way out of the crisis.
The social fascists, fearing the
tremendous influence exercised by
the success of Socialist construction
in the Soviet Union, are performing
left n1anouvers. What is the nature
of some of these left manouvers? II
is to separate the dictatorship of the
proletariat which carried through
the revolutionary way out. of the
crisis, which is building Socialism il,
the Soviet Union, from the obvious
economic advantages of the Soviet
system, over the dying and decaying
capitalist system. Note for instance
what Mr.. Norman Thomas said irl
one of the recent issues of the New
Leader:
"AIl of us want to see the ruth
lessness of the Russian Dictator
ship ended, but in my judgment
we must face the fact that the
ECONOMIC success of the Russian
experiment is an asset" This en-
phasis).
But the economic success of the
Russian experiment" is precisely due
to the ruthlessness of the proletariar
dictatorship against the open enemies
as the capitalist parties. the inter-
ventionists, etc. And precisely be-
cause. of the firmness and the de.
cisiveness that the dictatorship Of
the proletar.at has displayed. and is
displaying against the mensheviks
the Russian members of the End So
cialist International.
The victories and successes of ths
Soviet Union are inseparable from
the teachings Of Leninism. 1t is ir
Leninism that we must look for ar

of Lenin. the existence and growth

NO wonder then, that as the worker:

Furthermore the letter recalls that:
