Some Shortcomings in the Cam
paign for the May First Dele
cation to the u. S. S.. r.

The great significance of sending large body
of workers to visit the Soviet Union at a mo-
ment when the war threat is most acute and
the great influence which such a delegation
could exert on its return in rallying the workers
for the defense of the Soviet Union has been
greatly underestimated.
District organizations Of the Communist Par
ty, as well as the various sympathetic mass Or
CARNATIONS revolutionary trade unions, work
erS' fraternal organizations, etc. have looked
upon this campaign as merely an effort of the
Friends of the Soviet Union alone; they have
given little or no cooperation in arousing mass
support. The Boston, Cleveland and Pittsburgh
districts, so I am informed, have done absolutely
nothing.
Taking Course Of Least Resistance.
Worst of ALL this opportunist mderestimation
Of the significance of the delegation, has been
accompanied by many purely opportunist theo-
ries, The following are typical examples
y. Factory workers cannot be elected"
many comrades say. They cite the spy system
in the factories the lack of trade union organ
ization, the weak contacts with the workers in
the basic industries, ETC., to prove that it can't
be done. Certainly, comrades Bolshevik factory
work is difficult but it can-and must-be done.
Because of the great interest of the workers in
Tic 0oVleI Union, JIle campaign lot ,Gne May
First delegation could have been and can still
be most effective way Of reaching the factories.
Is this not true?
2. Ordinary American workers can not be
sent"-this is the second argument. These work
ers are looked upon as too conservative" they
are politically undeveloped," they would not
understand" socialism the Five Year Plan, ETC.;
they cannot make speeches. and then, who
knows, they might make "unfavorable reports"
on their return. Some are really Grass examples
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-04-01
Ry C. A. HATHAWAY.

Is IT possible that, due to lack of Bolshevik
vigilance on our part, wrong and harmful
theories and practices are permitted to develop
in the revolutionary movement, and to live there
far too long, which actually hinder the extension
of our mass influence and organization?
Yes it is not only possible; it is fact! Many
examples could be cited from all fields of our
activities-trade union, unemployment, anti
war, Negro, election work. etc.-Which prove
the existence Of strong seetarian tendencies that
hamper our mass work.
Here I will deal with such tendencies insofar
as they affect the work of the Friends of the
Soviet Union and the lack of support given
this organization in its effort to select and send
a May First workers delegation to the Soviet
Union.
Are Workers Interested?
Is there any lack of interest among the broad
masses of workers in the Soviet Union? On the
contrary, the interest was never so great! The
crisis here, resulting in millions of unemployed
in drastic wage cuts, in greater speed up in the
factories and mines, and in the most brutal
police terror, simultaneously with the rapid pro-
greSs toward socialism in the Soviet Union with
a corresponding improvement in the living
standards of the toilers, has directed the eyes
of all workers and broad sections Of the popu-
lation, even the most conservative, toward the
Soviet Union The war situation in the Far
East, coupled with the immediate threat of i'm
perialist war against the U. s. S. r., which the
workers are really beginning to see as their
fatherland is still further deepening the work
ers interest and concern.
This is shown in hundreds of ways and sig
nificantly by the growing immigration to the
Soviet Union. The tourist Offices and agencies
responsible for recruiting workers are flooded
with applicants-this shows not only a genaral
interest, but strong desire to go to the Soviet
Union.
But have we considered this mass interest in
the U. S. S. r. in the campaign for the May
First delegation? Hardly! 1t must be admitted
that the organization of the delegation has been
approached in the most routine. formal manner
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-04-01
DO WE SOMETIMES SET UP BARRIERS TOT
OUR OWN PROGRESS? RI

of opportunism. Los Angeles carried such ar
guments SO far that they proposed to send a
woman druggist who is a good speaker and
won't Just speak on the number of red flags
she saw" In Minneapolis proposal was made
to send one who was good translator and
wanted to visit his parents" But all of these
arguments, comrades, are libel in the first
place on the American workers, but more i'm
portant still they express a lack of confidence
in socialist construction in the Soviet Union
Can it be that we are just little bit afraid
that the progress is too slow there, that condi-
tions there will not arouse the enthusiasm of
the American workers? Snap out of it. COM
r2des. that is not true. Any honest worker will
be stirred as never before by everything he sees
in the U. S. S. r. The mere truthful telling
of what he saw and his Impressions is all we
can ask of any worker. He doesn't have to be an
orator.
3. Loyal, active tested comrades must be
rewarded'-is the final argument will mention,
although there are many more OF course, it
would be fine if every comrade could go to the
Soviet Union. 1t is truly an inspiration for any
comrade to go. But the May First delegation is
not merely trip to the Soviet Union" 1t is
a major political effort to reach new elements
American elements, workers from the basic in
dustries (steel, coal, chemical etc., workers who
are not now in the revolutionary movement. Is
this not Of vital Importance at a moment when
the imperialsts are feverishly concentrating
their forces on the Soviet borders? Is this not
more important at this moment, than sending
comrades who are already convinced revolution
lists? I think all comrades will agree
All to Work.
There is still time to put this job Overt The
campaign is already well started. 1t needs now
that added impetus which can come by all Or
ganizations-the Party the unions the mass or
MISUNDERSTANDING their full support to the
Friends of the Soviet Union in organizing fin
ancing and sending real representative work
ers' delegation to the Soviet Union for May

cially have tasks to perform.

800 JOIN AUTO
WORKERS UNION
IN DETROIT AREA
New Tasks Planned to
Spur Action

DETROIT, Mich.-Since the bloody
Monday on March 7th, 300 auto
workers joined up for membership in
the Auto Workers Union. Practically
every day the workers come to the
office and sign up.
The auto workers are beginning to
realize that only through the building
up of organization in the shops in
solidarity with the unemployed work
ers on the outside will such massacre
and bloody attacks be stopped,
Immediate Tasks
The immediate tasks of the Auto
Workers Union are: % To actiyise
the old and these hundreds of new
members. CD To build and transfer
the life of the union into the shops.
80 To acquaint the membership of
the union with the program and the
most detailed organizational tasks.
% To make these new members and
feel that it is their union, that they
are conducting the affairs of the
union, and that the union is actually
their instrument Of struggle against
the common enemy. 90 The entire
union as it is now must be overhauled
from top to bottom and the necessary
machinery and committees must be
set up into motion. (6) And finally
to develop a real conscience Of mill
tant strike strategy as against the
sell-out policy Of the A. F. of l..
leadership.
The Executive Committee Of the
Union is preparing a program which
will be submitted to theentire mem
bership for detail discussion, of all
forms and activities of the Union.
