Editor,
Dear Cornrade:
In regard to the article I wrote
entitled rs. Y. p. Union Betrays
jamestown Workers" published in
the Daily Worker on Oct. 5, there
is passage in which say that
President Smith has bought new
car, which smells suspiciously like
gift from the Chamber of Com
merce. A lot OF workers have been
in to see me, and they say that 1t
is not new car, but merely Smiths
old car painted over. have tried to
find the truth, but cannot. Some
say one thing, some say another

DAMSEY shook his head slowly.
N 81 can't, Dee. I'd like to help
you but I haven't money enough
to start saving all the nigras in the
county. I have to take care Of my
own nigras. If I loan you two
hundred dollars and another two
hundred to some other nigra caught
in the Cracker buzz saw I should
soon be in the same situation you
are in"
Precipitation broke out in tiny
beads on Dee'S forehead.

"You see, Dee" Ramsey added
putting a hand gently on the old
mans shoulders, I'm caught in

of Socialist leader to pirate of
orderly revolution in world
where thousands of workers, ma
tional minorities like Negroes in
America. and colonial peoples are
massacred for demanding food and
the elementary political rights sup
posedly guaranteed by capitalist
democracy.
THE support of the parties of
the Second International to the
national interests of the capitalists
in each country has not escaped
the author of the article in the
Boston Post:
Nor does there seem any pos
sibility of achieving the main
Socialist creed Of international
brotherhood. Socialist governments
have been invariably fiercely ma
tionalistic. The Labor Party gov
crnment in England furnished a
good example. Both French and
German Socialists are strongly ma
tionalist. The various socialist in
ternational congresses produce
nothing but fine words. Surely, no
government could be more nation
aliStic than the various Socialist
regimes in Australia"
The st. Louis Star and Times
for October - also contributes
editorially to the less campaign
boosting the Socir Party as the
third party of Ar can capital
ism: The Socialist Party is
no longer Socialist, as the word is
understood by revolutionary fol-
lowers of Karl Marx. This, to
be sure, strengthens Mr.. Thomas
in the eyes of all good, sound Am
orleans. They can vote for him
without feeling that they are mark
ing the Constitution with red ink.
But it reduces the Socialist Par
ty to the status of a liberal party
which may tinker with but never
will destroy the capitalism it de-
nounces."

Party. This explains the obviously
organized tributes to the anti-re-
evolutionary program of the Social
ism Party.
The Boston Post, for example,
on october 16 published long ar
ticle headed Socialism Now Very
Mild" In the course of this ar
ticle the author makes the follow
ing correct observations:
"It is a curious thing that, out
side of Russia, when Socialists have
attained power they are either IN
willing or unable to put their the
cries to the test" Milwaukee has
had an extremely able Socialist
mayor for years, with many So
cialist officials as colleagues. But
there is nothing of Socialism in
5 Milwaukee. - Reading. Pa has
had an almost completely Socialist
city government. But it functions
in no different way from the non
socialist governments"
THREE LEADERS
RICH MEN"
Interesting indeed is the. appeal
to middle class responsibility and
smugness made in behalf of the
Socialist Party by the Boston Post.
We quote again:
Three Leaders Rich Men--These
three men - Thomas, Hillquit and
Lewis-(the Socialist Party candi-
date for governor in Massachu-
setts-B. d. offer good illustra-
ton of present day socialism. All
are comparatively rich. Thomas is
former minister who has no wor-
ry about finances. Hillquit is
corporation lawyer, one of the best,
who gets big fees from companies
like the Retail Coal Trust in New
York. Lewis is richer than es;her
Governor Ely or Lieutenant Gov
ernor Youngman, his rivals. None
of them has the slightest connec-
ton with the so-called working
class"
u himself to speak more at length
about his proposal "to change cap
italist-nationalist system, which is
the breeder of war, ETC."
At the Socialist Party's Milwau-
kee convention last summer, where
the present program was adopted,
Thomas opposed an amendment
which received only IA votes out
1870 cast to change the word
transfer in the platform to "con-
fiscation" in connection with the
method of achieving government
ownership" of key industries. In
the course of the debate Thomas
stated:
g.. that there was a POSSIBLE
ity Of achieving Socialism in a
generation If guided by the de-
sire for orderly revolution and
that the cost Of taxation was
trivial when compared with the
cost of putting into motion con-
fiscation." (T1he American Social
list Quarterly, Vol. I, No. 8, Page

NO "ORDERLY
REVOLUTION"
There never has been and there
never can be an orderly revolu-
ton. Orderly revolution" means
no revolution. The whole interna-
tional experience Of the working
class, immeasurably enriched by
thI Russian Revolution, proves
this beyond question. The Thomas

achieving Socialism forces the
question Of what is to become of

ONLY WORKERS CAN DEFEAT
IMPERIALISM WAR

Yes, indeed! The capitalist press
is busy making the country safe
for the Socialist Party-while it
attacks flercely the Communists
and the working class.
ONLY the power and determine
v ton of the working class to turn
imperialist war into civil war can
prevent or defeat imperialist war.
Only the working class headed by
its Communist Party, rallying
around the proletariat the toiling
population of city and countryside,
can conquer capitalism - the first
prerequisite for the beginning of
the advance to Socialism. Only
the dictatorship of the working
class, headed by its Communist
Party can finally defeat capitalist
opposition and counter
and build Socialism.
Only the Communist Party or
ganizes and leads the working class
against imperialist war in the fight
for Socialism.
The Socialist Party works for
the interests of capitalism by con-
scious deception of the working
class through deliberate perver-
sion of the revolutionary teachings
of Marx and Engels.
When the Socialist Party uses
the slogan of Workers of the
World, Unite" it is trying to unite
them In docile groups which can
be herded more easily into the
world prison Of capitalism.

ILL
INTOXICATED by the praise of
1 the capitalist press, Thomas APP
parently is out to prove to the rul-
ing class his skill in COMPRISING
a maximum of social-fascist swind-
ling into a minimum amount of
space. Writing in his column,
Timely Topics" in the Socialist
New Leader" he says:
"In plain terms, then, our task
Is to change the capitalist-nation-
alist system which is the breeder
of war, while we seek to prevent
particular wars"
This is for workers consumption.
What does it really mean? Have
Thomas colleagues in any party Of
the Second International made any
changes in "the capitalist-nation-
alist system in any country? Have
the parties of the Second Inter
national prevented any "particu-
lar" war?
VIII Il AlG ANS WEN
is mo"
The answer is no. 1t is written
ineradicably in the international
record of the class struggle in the
blood of the millions of workers
and colonial peoples slaughtered in
imperialist wars-supported by the
parties of the Second International.
The irrefutable details are no more
secret than the fact that the most
ferocious attacks on the Indian
masses were made by the British
Labor Party government or that
the Socialist Party of Japan sup
ports the irnperailist war on the
Chinese people, or that the Social
ist parties in South America are
each supporting the wars waged
by their governments under the
direction and in the interest of
British or American imperialism.
That Is one main reason why the
Socialist parties are accepted as
the third parties of capitalism =
and that is why Norman Thomas
Is being boosted deliberately by
both the Democratic and Repub-
lcan press throughout the length
and breadth of the United States
The process on the surface appears
to be the election rivalry for po-
sition of capitalists administrators
between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis but the purpose is to make
the Socialist Party a reservoir in
to which can be drawn and
damned the anger, hatred, and re-
volutionary desire to end capital
ism of workers disillusioned by
three years of misery unprece-
dented in America - to create a
sort Of buffer state controlled by
capitalism between the revolution
airy working class and the Com
munist Party of the United States.

farmers, bankrupt middle class
elements and jobless intellectuals
