BECAUSE it is evident that the
- coming election campaign is one
of the most important ever waged
in this nation, I regret very much
that I will not be presnt to take an
active part in the struggle that
Negroes must wage to pile up a
huge vote for William z. Foster
and James w. Ford, Communist
candidates for President and Vice
President.
The issues in this campaign are
so clear that the only thing that
will prevent Foster and Ford from
polling the vote of every honest
Negro in the country is the wave
of lies and SANDER that will be
let lose by misleaders of both races
fooled by these lies. Long expert
ence has taught me that when
white bosses crack the whip, cring-
ing and sniveling Uncle Toms spring
up on every hand to defraud the
rest Of us and bamboozle us into
voting for our enemies and oppres-
sorS.

eys has every reason to do the bid

work was discussed at great length.
The District Committee of District
IL sent the District Organizer as
fraternal delegate. He spoke about
the struggle against demagosy in
Seattle; the fight to win the unem-
lpoyed away from dernagogic organi-
cations such as the Unemployed Citi-
zens League (Which at present is ac-
tive in Oakland, the Producers
League, etc.
These organizations are designed
to put across the Hoover policy for
facing the workers to assume the full
burden Of the crisis Of their shoulders
He reported that in the city OF Seattle
alone through carrying on an inten-
sive organization campaign, and ex-
posing the takers of the U. c. L., ETC.,
there are today 300 block committees
of the Unemployed Councils daily
fighting against evictions, gas and
electric shut-offs, and for relief.
Set Tasks
The tasks set for the Party by the
Convention include the doubling Of
IT, Western Worker circulation and
the recruiting of 500 new members by
struggles Of the agricultural workers,
November 7, the organization of

war campaign.

beyond the need for argument that
it is against the official Jim-Crow
policy of the Democrats, the Repub-
leans and the Socialists.
However, the Communists go fur
ther. Their platform demands
equal rights for Negroes and self
determination for the Black Belt.
While the Republicans and the
Democrats have been lying about
giving us the vote for the past sixty
years, the Communist Party comes
right to the front with a bold de-
mand for equal rights and, without
beating about the bush, the Com
munist Party emphasizes social
equality for Negroes.
Compare Them
Now, the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis have announced their plat
forms. Come to think of it, they
don't need to in order for us to
know what they stand for. Their
actions speak louder than words.
Under their regime, we are starving,
we are hungry and naked and
homeless. We are lynched, beaten
up, denied the vote and JIM
Crowed. They haven't done any
thing about it for all these years.
They don't intend to do anything
about it. 1t is profitable to them.
These Republicans and Democrats
are the big-wig bankers the rich,
the plunderers. They had rather
dump food in the ocean than feed
us, so they can raise prices. They
stimulated race hatreds so they
can keep the poor of one race
fighting against the poor of other
races, and thus insure their own
safety.
1t must be evident to anybody
who thinks through the things
about which I have been talking
that the Communist Party is our
party. 1t. is fighting our fights,
warning against our enemies, strug-'
Cling for our welfare. Common
sense dictates that we should sup
port our party with every means
at hand
Right now, the task is to get out
on the street corners, in factories,
farm communities, and other places
and win votes of the toiling masses
for this party of ours. If our party
is to triumph, it must have support.

The Meeting.
He came. He was introduced by
one of the nucleus members, a ca
sual word was said about the need
for discretion in speaking about
anything going on in the meeting.
and then the meeting itselIi vent
about its business. 1t discussed the
union and the united front organi-
zation in the shop. 1t discussed
the next meeting of the workers
in the shop. 1t discussed literature
sales in the shop. 1t discussed the
method Of going about the forma-
ton of an anti-war committee in
the shop. 1t discussed the method
of approaching certain elements
who could be appealed to through
the l. l.. D. but not through other
methods of approach, and 1t was
decided to try the formation of an
I. l.. D.. branch in the shop. In
dividual workers in the shop were
discussed from the point of view
of union membership, Party mem
bership, ETC., etc.
He Smiled :"
Before he knew 1t, the prospect
i've member was taking an ami
mated part in the discussion in full
equality wit hthe Party members.
He helped plan the union meeting.
Hediscussed the virtues Of a certain
prospective Party member, and
when a nucleus member was as
signed to work" on this worker
for the Party, he smiled to him
self, wondering, possibly, who had
previously been assigned to work"
on him. During the meeting he
quietly tapped the chairman on the
back, asked for an application card
in whispers, and without more ado
he signed up for the Party-con-
vinced by the activity Of the unit
that his place was there. No
speeches, no agitation, no state
ments--he understood thoroughly,
and he took his place as soldier
in the ranks. 1t was the function
ing of the Party in the shop--in
the handling OF his own vital prob
lens, anG the vital problems OF his
shop mates and Of the entire work
ing class--that convinced him.

the Bolshevik workers. G. v. raised
his eyebrows and his cheek grew
pale. I say--his cheek, for 1 was
sitting at the side of the pulpit
and could see the orators face and
profile.
While Plekhanov was speaking at
the first meeting, the person who
did the most fidgeting on the Boil
Shevik benches was Lenin. At one
time he hunched himself up as
though he were cold, then he
sprawled as if ne felt hot. He poked
his fingers in his armholes, rubbed
his chin, shook his head, and whis-
perez something to M. P. Tomsl1y.
When Plekhanov declared that
there were no "revisioniSts" in the
party, Lenin bent down, the bald
spot on his head grew rees and his
shoulders shook with silent laugh
ter. The workers sitting next to
him and behind him also smiled,
and fror the back of the hall
voice called out loudly and NOR
csely, "And what about the people
sitting over there"
Little Theodore Dan spoke like a
man whose relationship to the au-
thentic truth is one of father and
daughter-he has begotten and fos-
tered it, and still fosters it. He
again, is Karl Marx incarnate, and
the Bolsheviks = half-educated, ILL
hammered children; fact which is
quite clear from their relations with
the Mensheviks among whom are
to be found, he said, "all the most
eminent Marxist thinkers"
You are not Marxists he said
disdaDfully, mo. you are not
Marxists and he thrust out his
yellow fist. One of the workers
asked him when are you going to
tea again with the Liberals?"

REVIEW GAINS OF PARTY IN WEST

SAN FRANCISCO, The
building Of a mass Red trade union
movement, and the rapid shifting of
the Party to war footing, we're the
main themes of the District Conven-
ton of the Communist Party just
concluded in San Francisco. One
hundred twenty seven delegates re-
presenting nearly 1000 members in
California, Nevada and Arizona, took
part in the proceedings.
List Achievements
Among the achievements recorded
during the past six months. were the
establishment Of the Party in Arizona
and Nevada, the doubling of the
membership in the District, the Sc
curing of $4,000 signatures of regis
tered voters in California for the
Party, the California state hunger
march and the establishment of the
Western Worker, which in great
measure has made possible the other
achievements.
The main weaknesses of the Party,
the isolation from the decisive Sec
tions OF the toiling masses and an
insufficient struggle against i'm
perialist war and for the defense Of
the Soviet Union and Chinese work.
ers and peasants, were thoroughly
analysed and steps taken to improve
our work.
Main emphasis was given the or
ganization of the agricultural workers
and marine transport industries. The
serious let-up in our unemployed

Everything
LOST"

Everything is lost" they said.
"They have crushed, annihilated,
exiled, imprisoned everybody.
A great deal was ludicrous, but
there was no ray of cheerfulness.
One visitor from Russia, a talented
writer, said that had been playing
something like the role of Luke in
1.-THE Lower Depths, had come
and charmed the young people with
amiable words, they had believed
me, had got some knocks on the
head, and I had run away. Another
declared that 1 was eaten up by
tendencies that was a played
out" man, and denied any signifi-
canoe to the ballet only because it
was Imperial" On the whole they
said a lot of stupid and ridiculous
things, and often felt as If pes
tilental dust were blowing from
Russia.
Then suddenly, as though in
fairy tale, found myself at the
Congress of the Russian Social
Democratic Party. OF course it was
a great day for me!
But my festive mood lasted only
until the first meeting when they
began wrangling about "tle order
Of the day." The fury of these dis
putes at once chilled my enthu-
siasm, and not SO much because
felt how sharply the Party was
divided into reformers and revolu-
tionaries-I had realized that in
1903-but because of the hostile at
titude of the reformers to Lenin.
1t oozed and spouted out of their
speeches like water under high
pressure out of an old hose-pipe.

regard for conditions. The cities
and towns are full of miserable and
starving Negroes who want jobs.

our miserable condition, the en-
ploying class has slashed wages to
the starvation point There are
many of us who are working for
room and board. Here is a party
that fights against wage cuts. Ask
yourself whether you favor that
fight.
There are many more of us who
are poor farmers. We can't sell our
wheat, our cotton, or our corn. We
can't pay rent or taxes or other bills.
Our place is in a party that fights
to get us relief from the hard listed
rent, tax and bill collectors.
Race Question
The things about which I have
been talking are the prime matters
before us. We've simply got to fight
starvation. But there is still an
other angle to this election that
points us to the Communist Party.
That the racial question. All
doubts on that score should be set

The American
Trip

In America had seen a lot of
Morris Hilquit, who was aiming at
becoming mayor or governor of
New York, and the old man Debs,
who had only just come out of
prison and was snarling at every
body and everything in tired and
forlorn fashion. had seen many
people and many things, but had
not met single person who could
understand the whole significance
of the Russian Revolution, and I
felt everywhere that it was regard
ed generally as "a mere incidence
of European life" and usual oc-
eurrence in a country where there
was always either cholera or revo-
luton" in the words of one "hand-
some lady" who "sympathized with
socialism.
The idea of a journey to Amer
lea to collect money for the Boil
shevik funds came from L. B.
Krassin; v. v. Vorovsky was to go
with me as secretary and organizer
OF meetings. He knew English well,
but the Party gave him some other
work to do and N. E. Burenin took
his place. The latter belonged to
the militant group in the c. c. of
the Bolshevik Party; he didn't
know the language and began to
learn it on the way and when he
arrived in the country. The Social
Revolutionaries became childishly
interested in my journey when
they learnt the aim of it. Tchai-
kovsky and zitlovsky came to me
while 1 was still in Finland and
suggested that money should be
collected not for the Bolsheviks,
but for "the revolution in general.
I refused to collect money for any
general revolution. Then they
sent "babushka"* there also, and
SO two people appeared in America,
who independently of each other,
and even without meeting, began
to collect money, apparently for
two different revolutions. The
Americans of course had neither
the time nor inclination to consid-
er which was the better and the
more substantial. "Babushka" APP
parently was already known to
them-she had been we'll adver-
tized in the past by her American
friends-and the Tsarist embassy
prepared scandal for me. The
American comrades also regarded
the Russian Revolution as a SO
cap' and abortive affair and treat
ed somewhat "liberally" the money
which I collected at the meetings,
and on the whole I collected very
little money-less than $4,000. I
decided to get some money by writ
ing in the newspapers-but there
happened to be Parvus~ in Amer
lea as well, and the American tour
was on the whole a failure. How
ever I wrote Mother" there-a
fact which accounts perhaps for
the faults and defects in it.
After that I went to Italy, to
Capri, and plunged into reading
Russian books and newspapers-this
also increased my low spirits. If a
tooth could feel after being knocked
out, it would probably feel as lonely
as did, 1 was full of amazement
at the acrobatic skill and agility
with which well-known people
jumped from one political platform
to another.
