If workers who have lost faith

abolish the evils Of present day
capitalism they naturally will not
fight to abolish capitalism. They
will follow the Socialist Party far
ther into the capitalist camp as
workers have In Germany, Eng
land, ETC., to give capitalism longer
life at the expense of still worse
working-class misery.
The proposals of Thomas in this
respect differ not one whit from

BY BILL DUNE

III.
IN line with the Socialist Party
policy of a gesture to the work
ing class and a pledge to the capt.
talists, Norman Thomas, in his
outline of the Socialist position"
in the New Leader of Oct. is, heads
a program for the world organiza-
ton of capitalism with part of the
classic revolutionary slogan of
working-class solidarity which con-
cludes the Communist Manifesto
written by Marx and Engels-
the basic document of the program
of the proletarian revolution.
Thomas says:
so ILLOGICAL from the
standpoint of economic lines are
national boundaries that we de-
spair of any sound peace by some
version of the ancient formula
of justice between nations" (Our
emphasis)
AIMED TO ENSNARE WORKERS
This capitalist-reformist forrnu-
lation of the question of imperial
ist contradictions is echoed by the
horde of economic advisers of CAPT.
talism attached to the League of
Nations-but Thomas throws this
out to beguile workers suffering
from the robbery and oppression
of capitalism, workers rapidly be-
coming disilluSscned with the
America First" slogan of the i'm
perialists.
"It is only" continues Thomas,
when men think in other terms
than merely as French, Japanese,
British or American that these
problems can be solved. Hence,
the Socialist insistence on its slo-
gan: Workers of the World,
Unite!"
This is another beautiful wave
OF the hand toward revolutionary
workers. But now watch what hap
pens to the slogan of workers of
the World, Unitel' as Thomas pro-
ceeds to purge it of all revolution
< airy meaning:
'It is when some other con-
cept of human solidarity in the
struggle for life and security and
beauty is substituted for abso-
lutte nationalism that we have
the basis for peace"
What has become Of the class
struggle implicit in Workers of
the World, Unitel"
DY reformist trickery it is sub
~ stituted by the human struggle,
the struggle of humanity as
whole against nature" for life, Sc
curity and beauty"
SAME THING
IN NEW DRESS
What is this concept" of hui
manity as a whole except the
theory of the identity of interests
of capitalist class and working
class dressed up in the new toys
of a pacifist crusade for peace in
the abstract? This becomes still
clearer as we get further into the
Socialist Party's position outlined
by Thomas:
This idea must be carried
over into organization. An in
terdependent world requires
world organization. This does
not mean an end OF national
organization or an overpowering
world state. II does mean that
in addition to our none too eff
fective machinery for preventing
war we must rapidly develop

machinery to deal on a world
scale with such matters as the
ALLEGATION of raw materials, the
exchange of goods and the fiscal
system"
Thomas, Presidential candidate
of the Socialist Party, is not writ
ing about organizing Socialism; he
is writing on how to improve capt.
talist world organization. When he
speaks of "our none too effective
machinery for preventing war" he
Identifies as one of the procurers
for the League of Nations
which was not organized to pre-
vent war but to prepare and make
war upon the colonial peoples,
weaker capitalist nations--and the
Soviet Union-wars of conquest by
the great powers sanctified by
hypocritical formulas expressing a
general desire for world peace"
THIS LEAGUE OF NATIONS
The League of Nations, which
permits war upon the Nicaraguan
people; by American imperialism;
which permits American and Brit
ish Imperialism, through their pup
pet governments in South America,
to set the oppressed peoples of
half-dozen countries at one an
others Threats; the League of Ma
tons whose Lytton committee has
just condoned Japan's invasion of
Manchuria; which permits the
French and Italian imperialism to
make war on the African peoples;
the League of Nations which per-
nlits British imperialism to make
war on the Indian masses; which
rejects and ridiculeS the disarrna-
ment proposals of the Soviet Union
but encourages the arming of every
border country against the Soviet
Union.
This, according to Thomas and
the Socialist Party, is "our ma
chinery for preventing war" This
is the gang of imperialist bandits
that the Socialist Party wants
"our" country to join:
Point 4 of the Socialist Party
platform, under the head of TN
ternational Relations" says: "The
entrance of the United States into
the World Court" Point says:
''The entrance of the United States
into the League of Nations under
conditions which will make 1t an
effective instrument for world
peace and renewed cooperation
with the working class parties
abroad to the end that the League
may be transformed from a League
of imperiaEst powers to a demo-
cratic assemblage, representative of
the common people of the world"
DON'T and the first part of
Point are for the capitalists.
The latter part of Point S is writ
ten to delude workers who are
against imperialist war. Advocacy
of the entry of the United States
into the League of Nations means
that like the other parties of the
Second International, the Socialist
Party of the United States tries to
strengthen Imperialism against the
revolutionary working class and
the colonial peoples. 1t means
that the Socialist Party wants to
iron out the imperialist contra
dictions which weaken the ruling
class in its struggle against the
revolutionary masses and the
Soviet Union.

ward winning the majority of the
workingclass, for which it is ne
cessary to break the grip of the
Social-Democratic Party and the
trade union misleaders. There
exists in Germany strong bureau
cratic apparatus of more than 300,-
900 Social-democratic functionaries
who hold important posts in the
trade unions, in state and NUM-
cipal governments and in the social
services, and use their offices con-
stantly against the workers. Thru
their influential positions in the
workers councils in big factories
they have succeeded in throwing
thousands of revolutionary workers
out of their jobs.
The organization of the Red uni
ted front aims to unite employed
and unemployed workers, including
social-democratic workers To this
end everywhere throughout the
country committees of struggle are
being created to realize the united
front In practice. These unite all
strata Of the toiling population, in
: Guiding the peasants and the petty
bourgeoiSie. The committees of
struggle organize meetings and de-
monstrations and call unity con-
ferenceS in various cities and dis
tr1cts. These district conferences
often bring together 1000 or more
elected representatives. The COM
mittees of struggle also try to win
over the proletarian elements
among the followers of the Nazis.
The success of this work was at
tested by the last united front con-
Terence in Dusseldorf, where IL
elected deleeates of National Sc
cialist organizations declared their
readiness to fight in the Red uni
ted front against hunger, fascism
and war. In addition, there we're
70 other Nazi workers present at
the conference. These National So
cialist workers came to Our confer
er1ce In defiance of their leaders
because they realized that the
NaI leaders, despite their radical
phrases, are for wage-cuts and a.
gainst strikes and everywhere re-
present the interests of the cap
italiSt class.
ELECTION
PERSPECTIyES
Question: What are the perspec-
ttyes for the next election?
Answer: In the last Reichstag
only Communists spoke. 1t was the
veteran of the international revo-
lutionary movement, Clara zetkin,
who opened the Reichstag, and it
was the leader of the Communist
Reichstag fraction, Torgler, who
buried it with the no confidence
motion. AS a result of the brief,

EvIcT1oNs IN U. S.

If a workers family is unable to
pay rent, the landlord can legally,
after brief stated period of warn
ing, secure warrant and get the
police to evict the family. Dur
ing the first half of 1880, in New
York City alone, 72,798 warrants
for eviction we're issued in the city
courts, an average Of over 400 on
every week day. In Baltimore,
with one-tenth the population of
New York, 11,735 families we're
evicted. Unemployed Councils are
successfully resisting hundreds Of
attempts to evict workers.

600 hired farm workers in the
