''The'' Duty

Every worke- who is a Communist, no doubt
understands thoroughly that the duty of any
Communist Party is to lead the toiling masses
of its country in struggle against that country'S
capitalist class with the aim Of finally over
throwing sits own" capitalist class from power
and establishing Workers and Farmers Soviet
government
But if they know that, why is it that, some
times, some one gets all tangled up if that simple
question is complicated by so much as mention
Of the fact that there are other countries, other
capitalist classes, and-though this seems for
gotten-other Communist parties We do not
accuse Comrade D. S. of New York, who writes
us the following letter, of having been tangled
up that way, but his Cor herr letter certainly
does indicate that there is danger of confusion
around that neighborhood The letter says or
asks:
Il will ask you to answer the following quess
ton in the columns of the Daily Worker II
the present capitalistic government Of Ger~
many should repudate the Versailles Treaty;
and thereby France takes the opportunity of
sending an army of invasion, the German
government, desiring to prevent the occupation
of its territory, resists with all its power the
invasion by France; what would be the duty
of the Communist Party of Germany under
such conditions?"
our answer Is. Inc communist EarCy OF Ger
many, under such conditions, would doubtless
have many duties; but the" duty, the foremost
task, would be the duty it would have even If
France didn't eXist-to overthrow the ruling
power OF the capitalistic class OF Germany!
Why? Well, look at what has already happened
over the same question! Did not France invade
Germany? Certainly But did Germany's cap
italist government resist with all its powers"P
NO! VIA
And why? Because, to resist effectively, it
would have to depend upon. the masses, to arm
the masses which it has been exploiting, op-
pressing and numbering And any capitalist
government, in this case that of Germany, fear
ing the revolt OF its own workers more than the
invasion of a foreign army, capitulated before
the army Of imperalist France in the Ruhr
invasion Of 1928 and agreed with the Versailles
victors to every demand they made, loading the
burden upon the toiling masses. incidentally,

THE teverish arnling Of the lmperlallst Powers
Z for a new intervention and new world war,
the first flames of which are already TO be seen
in the Far East, compel the working masses OF
an countries TO turn their attention to those
BLESSINGS which the last world war brought to
humanity The effects OF the last war were to
be seen in an increased mortality, decline OF
the birth rate spread OF plaques and diseases,
In Germany alone the mortality figures increas-
ed by 100000, and in Italy the number OF deaths
exceeded the normal by over million
Apart from the front soldiers, Of whom IS
millions were killed in the world war, the war
caused a considerable increase OF mortality
among the civil population. Thus IN France, the
death rate increased from 176 per thousand IN
the wear 1913 to p per thousand in 1913; in Ger
1uanv the increase was from 1871 TO 1879; IN Eng
land from 1876 to It's, and in Italy from 1873 to
49, At the same time, however the birth rate
declined as follows: in France, from 1874 to 1872;
in Germany, from 27.2 to 143; in England, from
g. to 177 and in Italy, from 81 TO 1871. Thus
as a direct result Of the war we see disastrous
destruction Of human lives, affecting women,
children and old folk alike.
As all wars in history. the last world war
brought in its train terrible epidenlicS the traces
Of which still remain today. Already in the
winter OF 1914-15, cholera, disentery, malaria
and scarlet fever came from the East front and
ragged over vide areas in Russia, Poland, Aus
tria and also the Balkans. In Indo-Ch1na, III
the Senegal district and in India, there was a

assumed dangerous dimensions, arose as direct

Anti War Week in France
Successful

Paris April /, 1882
Anti-war week which took place in France
from the oath to the 3lst OF March under the
leadership of the Communist Party was very
successful On the last day big demonstration
took place in front Of the prison St. Lazarus
and the "Internatinale' was sung. At the same
time anti-war demonstrations took place on the
boulevards in front OF the offices of the big
bourgeois dailies which are conducting the war
campaign against the Soviet Union and i'll
particular in front of the head office OF "le
Journal" which is leading the campaign.
Ant-war meetings were held in front of the
big factories, including Renault Citroen Seguin,
Hotchkiss, Pleyel Wulzer the Internationale
Compagne de Wagons Lit Delaunay, Chanters
de la Loire, Christophe, Aniclar, Gallet and
Gevelo. The meetings were addressed by the
representatives of the Communist Party.
Five thousand workers demonstrated in the

and in defence OF the Soviet Union process

by Andre Marty and the chief editor of Thu

The entire" Class Struggle
BY JORGE

Conrade M. K, of Cleveland, once member
OF the So-called "Proletarian Party" but-as he
says fortunately now member of the Com.
munist Party writes us an approval Of our
Spark about the said P. P. published on March
49, In part he adds:
They claim to be more revolutionary than
the Communist Party, on the grounds that
they don't tell the workers to fight against the
worsening of their conditions and for imme-
date demands such as unemployment insur-
ance. Neither do they have any such slogans as
Defend the Soviet Union Down with police
brutality etc. They say: We point out the
entire class struggle But what have been
unable to get them to explain, is what they
mean by the class struggle. To me, as a
worker, the objective reality of the class
struggles is manifested, of course in the every
day conflict of interests between the capitalists
and the workers. For us to deny these con-
flicts and merely shout Revolution would be
utopian and practically equivalent to denying
the class struggle"
Very correct, comrade. Any worker should be
able to see through the goofy chatter that talks
about standing for the entire" class struggle,
but which opposes strikes, demonstrations and
struggles for partial demands.
1.-THE whole is greater than its parts" but does
not exclude its parts; and by denying its parts,
the self-styled 'Marxists" of the so-called PRO
letarian Party" deny the whole, piece by piece,
and in practice thus deny and oppose the re-
voutionary aim of the working class no matter
how they roll their RS" and beat their chests
in assertion that they are revolutionary"
AL workers who want to help bring about a
revolution and put an end to the miseries cap
italism inflicts on their class, should join the
Communist Party and fight under its guidance.

The Danish Communist Party held an anti
war week which ended on the third of April with
a Red Day against Imperialist War Anti-war

demonstrations took place in almost all the big
towns and in number of rural areas. A special
action was carried out amongst the sailors and
marines stationed in Copenhagen, The pay OF
these men has been cut whilst the pay OF the
officers has not been touched. At this there has
been considerable indignation and the party
action was received very sympathetically by the
men. special leaflet was issued calling on hte
men to strike against the cuts in their pay and

MONTANA SPRING
WHEAT ESTIMATE

Bozeman, Mont, April-"Mon-
tana Spring wheat growers UNI
doubtedly will get in about the
same acreage as last year." says
Paul Carpenter, extension econom-
list at Montana State college, in
the April Agricultural Outlook
which is being mailed to county
extension agents and agriculturists
of the state.
Carpenters statement about the
probable acreage of spring wheat
appears to be in direct contradic-
ton to the department of agri-
cultures report which said that on
March I, growers figured on in
creasing the Spring wheat acreage
by more than so percent. The de-
partment's statement compared the
proposed Spring wheat acreage Of
this Spring with that harvested last
fall and not with the actual acre
age planted in 1881. In view of the
many acres planted in 1881 which
were not harvested, the depart
ment's report is not so disconcert-
ing.
The report of the state statisti-
clan at Helena makes a direct com
parison which shows the Spring
wheat acreage of 1881 as $500, 600
acres and says the intentions to
plant this Spring indicate the same
acreage. 1t is pointed out in this
report that only 1,750,000 acres of
the 3,5O0,O 900 acres planted in 1881
were harvested.
In arriving at his conclusion a.
bout the probable acreage of the
Spring wheat, Carpenter took into
consideration, finances and the
seed shortage. He says, Seeding
plans over the four principal Spring
wheat states in many instances can
not be realized owing to widespread
financial inability. Federal loans
n being made to a very large
number of growers. However, seed
is so short and reserves of private
credit so nearly exhausted that the
$500 limit on government advances
gives little opportunity for expan-
sion."
In regard to other crops, Car
penter expects a national increase
in the oats acreage over 1881 and a
Montana increase of about 20 per-
cent, based on state reports. The
barley acreage in Montana is ex-
pected to be about seven-eighths
of the 1881 planted acreage, while
interest in other states indicates
a national increase. Montana in
tends to plant about a fifth more
flax this year than last, while the
nations total acreage will be some
what smaller than 1881.
